[opensuse] corrupt journals (13.2)
by listreader 04 Nov '15

04 Nov '15

Howdy. While going to the logs to investigate a problem, I find they are corrupt. "journalctl --list-boots" shows only some ancient boots ending in December 2014, 21 in total, while there are actually more: journalctl --list-boots | wc -l 21 journalctl -F _BOOT_ID | wc -l 316 "journalctl --verify" shows a bunch of problems so I thought I would just clear the journals up to the last month or so, but the expected "--vacuum-time=" option apparently doesn't work in openSuSe 13.2. Is there another preferred way to clear the corrupt part of the logs? Thanks.

[opensuse] openSUSE 13.1 support
by Roger Oberholtzer 04 Nov '15

04 Nov '15

IIRC, wasn't openSUSE 13.1 a long term release (or whatever it was called)? Which means that support would last for a bit longer. I guess that is mainly in reference to security and bug updates for the 13.1 release itself. But I am curious why things like LibreOffice (5.0) and MinWG no longer provide for 13.1. OBS will still build for these. But they are actively disabled. I guess it is really up to the various maintainers to decide what they want to do. But since security and bug fixes continue, why remove other support? -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] 13.1 cups broke - (access.log) Send-Document client-error-document-format-not-supported
by David C. Rankin 03 Nov '15

03 Nov '15

All, This is strange. I'm not sure what update broke it, but something broke cups. It went from working like a charm to throwing the error: localhost - - [03/Nov/2015:09:14:34 -0600] "POST /printers/Laserjet4 HTTP/1.1" 200 252 Create-Job successful-ok localhost - - [03/Nov/2015:09:14:34 -0600] "POST /printers/Laserjet4 HTTP/1.1" 200 62713 Send-Document client-error-document-format-not-supported localhost - - [03/Nov/2015:09:14:34 -0600] "POST /jobs/ HTTP/1.1" 200 174 Cancel-Job successful-ok Not good to need output only to find, you can't print anymore... Chasing the problem down, it seems that now the following packages are required: cups-filters cups-filters-ghostscript libqpdf13 Of those 3, I think the cups-filters is the only mandatory package. Installing the packages and restarting cups returned printing to normal: localhost - - [03/Nov/2015:09:51:52 -0600] "POST /printers/Laserjet4 HTTP/1.1" 200 252 Create-Job successful-ok localhost - - [03/Nov/2015:09:51:52 -0600] "POST /printers/Laserjet4 HTTP/1.1" 200 62713 Send-Document successful-ok So the question is "What package got upgraded that was missing the new cups-filters dependency?" I suspect it was a cups package (cups-libs, cups-client, cups, cups-libs-32bit), but which one? Does this need a bug report? -- David C.

[opensuse] A question about MARBLE VIRTUAL GLOBE
by Basil Chupin 03 Nov '15

03 Nov '15

Until several weeks ago (give or take - you know....) whenever I started Marble Virtual Globe it would automatically acquire the latest satellite imagery which, of course, would show, for example, where any hurricanes/typhoons/cyclones were. However, this updating suddenly stopped and now, even after the typhoon which lashed Japan/Taiwan/China weeks ago is still sitting some 170km south east of Japan, and there is no sign of the hurricane (whatever) now lashing the coast of Yemen. Anybody else having the same problem with Marble Virtual Globe? Or know how to fix this hassle?

[opensuse] kernel-desktop
by Alvin Beach 03 Nov '15

03 Nov '15

Hello, I'm running openSUSE 13.2 with the Kernel:stable:standard repo. I've noticed that the kernel-desktop package has been missing for some time now. I checked the OBS and don't see it in the Overview tab either. Has that package been removed? Should I simply just switch to the kernel-default package? Thanks.

[opensuse] kernel Oops (13.2)
by listreader 03 Nov '15

03 Nov '15

Howdy. Ok, I've not ever had a kernel Oops before. Machine completely locked, required a pull-the-plug to restart. From the journald, I see this: kernel: BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at 0000079a1f0c554d kernel: IP: [<ffffffff811615d8>] shmem_get_inode+0x1c8/0x210 kernel: PGD 0 kernel: Oops: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP Lots of more stuff follows the above in journal if that additional info might help someone tell me what happened here, but before I post it someone tell me if there is possibly anything private/password/etc hiding in the data that I might not want to publicly post. Also, while going to the logs to see what happened I found out they were corrupted. I will post that problem as a separate message. Thanks.

[opensuse] svnserve passwords in transit question
by Lew Wolfgang 02 Nov '15

02 Nov '15

Hi Folks, Given the stock openSUSE subversion install, does anyone know how usernames/passwords are sent over the wire? The specifics for my server setup are SASL enabled with saslauthd configured for PAM. The documentation is confusing, but I think it says that CRAM-MD5 is used for authentication. I know that the repo content isn't encrypted, but I'm worried about the passwords. I've got it all working with PAM authenticating with krb5 on the backend, and I've sniffed the wire with tcpdump, and don't see any cleartext or base-64 encoded passwords, but I'm still worried. Are passwords sent in the clear? Or are they trivially encoded? Or? (I know about svn+ssh and webdav-tls, but I can't do those for a number of reasons) Thanks in advance, Lew -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
