[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] simple mouse question
by Tony Alfrey 03 Mar '15

03 Mar '15

Hello; Running SuSE 13.1, and clearly not an expert on this release. I simply want to configure my mouse, a very simple Logitech PS/2 mouse. I want to configure the speed that the cursor moves versus the physical speed of the mouse. There /used/ to be a panel somewhere that allows this, and other things (like what do the mouse buttons do). I see config things for keyboards and such but not for the mouse.

[opensuse] Windows Crashing with squares all over them
by Paul Groves 02 Mar '15

02 Mar '15

I have been using my computer all day and have notice an issue while using firefox. While I am browsing the internet the window started to patellate in large blocks forming a grid over the whole windows. I have also experienced the issue in glabels. If I switch to another session Ctrl + Alt + F6 then back to Ctrl + Alt + F7 the blocks go away only to return a few minutes later. I has also just happened twice while writing this email. I installed some updates this morning but have never seen an issue like this since using opensuse as my main os and never had an issue with updates. I am running 64-bit 13.2, I have an Nvidia 9500GT graphics card using the drivers from the community repo. Is there a way of checking what updates have been installed just like windows update or apple software update show the updates in a list and what time and date they were installed? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Upgrade from 12.3 to 13.1 over the weekend - Kudos :)
by Christopher Myers 02 Mar '15

02 Mar '15

Just wanted to send out a big kudos to everyone involved in the oS project :) I did a repo upgrade of my work Lenovo W530 Friday night, and everything went beautifully. Had a few super minor things to straighten out, but so far it's been as if nothing happened (except for the improvements of course :P) (Went to 13.1 instead of .2 because I want to get it on Evergreen after the current support cycle ends.)

[opensuse] Just upgraded Firefox 36.0 on 13.2 and Search Engines
by Basil Chupin 02 Mar '15

02 Mar '15

OK, who stuffed up the Search Engines facility in FF 36.0? In previous versions one could select a Search Engine from a drop-down menu but now this option is gone. Anybody know of a quick fix for this new "improvement" in FF 36.0, please?

I can go to the same site with Firefox and Seamonkey, both with Adblock Plus installed. Firefox shows ads, Seamonkey doesn't. Others have also experienced this. Regardless. I was finally able to get Plus removed and Edge enabled. I'll have to see how well Edge works. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] sistemad - invalid argument when trying to override ExecStart with drop-in config?
by Per Jessen 02 Mar '15

02 Mar '15

In /etc/systemd/system, I have created a directory: radvd.service.d/ which contains "useold.conf" : [Service] ExecStart=/usr/sbin/radvd.old --nodaemon $RADVD_OPTIONS (I want to use an old binary, see bug#920156). After having reloaded systemd, I try to start radvd: # systemctl start radvd Failed to start radvd.service: Unit radvd.service failed to load: Invalid argument. See system logs and 'systemctl status radvd.service' for details. Unfortunately, the log and the journal and 'systemctl status' all give absolutely no indications about the invalid argument? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (11.8°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free dynamic DNS, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[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.
