[opensuse] migration from openSUSE 12.3 to 13.2 - from ifup to wicked
by Paul Neuwirth 03 Mar '15

03 Mar '15

Hi, I struggled long to migrate fully from initd to systemd. Now before I do the step from 12.3 to 13.2, i have concerns of ifup being replaced. Not much answers found googling around. A. can ifup be used instead of wicked B. is migration easy? following setup (IPv4 only): 2 physical network cards (RTL8111/8168) eth0: LAN (DHCPd running on the machine) eth1: (static ip) as connection to VDSL2 modem dsl0: PPPoE dial-up device lo tun0: openvpn server running tun1: vpnc connection (manually created on demand using vpnc) isdn0: backup ISDN dial-in connection (started manually) modem0: backup UMTS dial-in connection (started manually) C. firewall configuration I adjusted SuSEfirewall2 configuration a lot (routing,masquerading,forwarding,...) and added custom scripts for traffic shaping using tc and iptables. have i take care of anything regarding this? Thank's a lot in advance for any info/hints. It is very hard to find information about, especially point C.

[opensuse] Yast, multiple NICs, and default routes
by Esztermann, Ansgar 02 Mar '15

02 Mar '15

Hello List, as far as I can tell, Yast does provide an option to edit DHCLIENT_SET_DEFAULT_ROUTE for individual NICs. This means that when multiple NICs are set up for DHCP, the actual default route is subject to a race condition -- surely not a desirable state. Is this true, or did I miss something? Should I file a bug? Thanks, A. -- Ansgar Esztermann DV-Systemadministration Max-Planck-Institut für biophysikalische Chemie, Abteilung 105

[opensuse] FF 35 woes on 13.1 (prior search results NOT available when 'back' used)
by David C. Rankin 02 Mar '15

02 Mar '15

All, This is frustrating. I use startpage. In all prior versions of Firefox, I could preform a search, follow a link, then press <back> to return to my search results. No I get this damn: Document Expired This document is no longer available. The requested document is not available in Firefox's cache. As a security precaution, Firefox does not automatically re-request sensitive documents. Click Try Again to re-request the document from the website. [ Try Again ] Jesus this is a pain. How can I tell FF 35 to please behave like all prior versions of FF and just show my search results again when I press back?? I don't want to have to click multiple buttons and confirm resends just to see them again. What in about:config controls this behavior? I've searched settings, and once again with Mozilla, this new 'feature' appears to be more of a 'bug' for some -- because, again, there is no way to TURN IT OFF. What says the braintrust? What's the trick to get usable search results back? -- David C.

[opensuse] Dual booting with 13.2 upgrade?
by Thomas Taylor 01 Mar '15

01 Mar '15

I performed an fresh install of OS 13.2 but ran into a problem when trying to get a dual boot system. The 13.2 install apparently requires a GPT partition scheme so I used PartedMagic to create that. When I tried to install Windows 7 it balked at the GPT partition as it seems not able to use that scheme, requiring a DOS type partition table. What suggestions are there for allowing this dual-boot between OS 13.2 and Windows 7?

[opensuse] Accessing VMware filesystem on ESXi machine
by Greg Freemyer 28 Feb '15

28 Feb '15

All, Can anyone recommend a solution other than vmfs-fuse (from vmfs-tools)? == details == I have a ESXi machine I am trying to work with. Effectively I'm trying to use a live Boot DVD to copy off the VMDK files and associated data files. In theoryvmfs-fuse (from vmfs-tools) from the Filesystems project should let me do that. Unfortunately it is giving me access to all the files except the VMDK file. From googling it appears vmfs-fuse doesn't support VMDK files over 255GB and this one is 1.4TB Thanks Greg -- Greg Freemyer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] strange "pinentry qt4" pop up dialog
by ianseeks 26 Feb '15

26 Feb '15

Hi Just got a a pop up message after launching Kmail, and just as i was about to write down the content (something about invalid Deutche Telecom cert or something) it vanished. It was waiting for a key press to confirm or cancel but i deliberately didn;t do that so i could record the text but disappeared before i could do that. Any idea if this is a real issue or does it cure itself? opensuse 13.2 tumbleweed (although grub is still saying 13.1) KDE4.14.5 regards Ian -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Name resolution from Cisco E4200
by don fisher 25 Feb '15

25 Feb '15

I am running openSuse 3.2. I have a Cisco E4200 which is running dhcp. In its tables it lists the names and ip addresses of all of the assigned computers so assigned. Is there a way for me to get these name to ip address translations so that I can use them setting up NFS? I am now trying to set up NFS and would prefer to get away from using the old static addresses.
