[opensuse] Installing Linux (was: making swapfile on 3.2
by Anton Aylward 16 Mar '15

16 Mar '15

(This issue of installation originally emerged in the middle of another thread.) I realise its not representative of the Joe Sixpack of the world, but I've seen many reports about Windows being more difficult to install that Linux, even from people who should know. Example; http://www.zdnet.com/article/building-a-pre-release-linux-testbed-with-open… After becoming frustrated with a Windows update, the author wiped it and went for a multi-boot Linux. He's not a naive user. <quote> First up was openSuSE (tumbleweed), because I prefer to use its UEFI boot setup to manage multiboot with all the other versions I install. I have found it to be the most flexible and reliable, and able to handle multi-boot with other UEFI systems and non-UEFI (MBR) systems at the same time. Installing that was dead easy, as it always is. It created all of the necessary partitions. All I had to do was resize them to leave room for the other distributions I was going to install. No problems of any kind with hardware, software, UEFI boot configuration, or anything else. Wow, was that ever nice. The day was starting to look a lot better than it was just a short time ago. At this point I was thinking to myself that I could have spent the rest of today, and a good part of tomorrow reinstalling Windows, but instead I spent 30 minutes installing Linux, and the netbook is ready to use again. Not bad. </quote> His "hassle" - if it can be viewed as that, was that he chose to resize so as to allow space for other installations. No, its not representative. Windows came pre-installed, so his real hassle wasn't with the actual installation. I think a similar issue applies for OSX, it comes pre-installed. Its only the geeks who decide to go 'under the hood' and resize Windows or OSX so they can install Linux along side, or root their Android phone so they can isntall another ROM. I wonder when mass produced desktops will be shipped with Linux already installed? Perhaps it won't be called Linux; perhaps it will be "Desktop Android". -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] btrfs Kernel Bug in Linux Kernel 3.19
by Sam M. 16 Mar '15

16 Mar '15

Is anyone familiar with this bug?: http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.file-systems.btrfs/42274 I dropped back to 3.16.7 after being on 3.19.x because I think I experienced this bug after checking journalctl output which was identical to the one in the above link. I contacted a kernel dev and he confirmed the bug did carry over to the 3.19 kernel. I copied some files over from an internal btrfs HDD to an external btrfs HDD, and twice in a row, with hard resets between both incidents, my entire system locked up. So, the recommendation of always having the latest kernel for btrfs is something which I'm not taking carte blanche. I hear this bug will be fixed in Linux 4.0. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] chromium hangouts
by buhorojo 16 Mar '15

16 Mar '15

13.2 Hi The hangouts extension in chromium version 41 (the one in the current 13.2 update repository) crashes. I installed v40 from opensuse.org which cures hangouts crash. But now, if I do a Yast update, it always tries to install v41. Is there a fix? Thanks.

[opensuse] kernel development
by Ruben 15 Mar '15

15 Mar '15

Hello I'm taking a class on operating systems and it includes, happily, many Linux examples, outlining OS internal structures and algorithms. I wanted to delve into the Scheduler, particularly the CFS that has been implemented and to try running and testing things such as what is outlined here http://www.embedded.com/design/operating-systems/4371651/Comparing-the-real… In order to do this, I need to compile and code the Kernel and Kernel modules. I've done this many many time in years gone by, but the current kernel has seemed to have grown even more than I anticipated. For those who work on the kernel and drivers everyday, what would you recommend as a best approach to tinker with the scheduler or even tinker with struct.h entries. I set up a VM with oracles virtualbox, and even that was new to me. I used to keep a usb drive to development and rebooting when I last attempted this.

[opensuse] Crashing after restart
by A. den Oudsten 14 Mar '15

14 Mar '15

On my E-machine I had installed a TP link N900 wireless dual band PCI express adapter TL-WDN 4800 version 1.3 I installed Tumbleweed 20150227 and after the restart it worked untill the blue K appeared, and crashed. I deleted, in Windows, the / partition and the /home partition and installed a fresh burned Tumbleweed 20150227 with the same results. Then I repeated this procedure with 13.2, with the same results. I must say that I skipped in the installation procedure to configure the AR9300Wireless LAN adapter because I expected that to be done automaticly by Network Manager. If that is the clue of the crashes I would like to know where I can find a detailed instruction how to do that. Some help please!

[opensuse] New motherboard
by Thomas Taylor 14 Mar '15

14 Mar '15

Finally have to replace my motherboard after 5+ years. I have received an ASUS A88X-PLUS with an AMD A8-7600 APU unused from a friend at a good price. Has anyone had experience with this board/apu that would be willing to pass along their experiences/tips? I will need to get a new case due to the current desktop PC being severely damaged in a fire (not caused by the PC) so it will be several days before installing the new system. I should be able to use the existing drives or at least the backed-up drive images from an external source. questions: 1: What must be done to boot with the new MB/APU? 2: Does the OS (openSuSE 13.1-x86-64) need to be re-installed or can changes be accomplished using repair? 3: Video of new apu is ATI Radeon HD-7000. Is this version natively supported or should I boot into VGA and find a driver for it?

[opensuse] Gnome3 Virtual Desktops?
by Lew Wolfgang 14 Mar '15

14 Mar '15

Hi Folks, I have a customer who may have to leave openSuSE for reasons we don't have to go into here. It would make sense for them to transition to SLED/SLES but I think we may have a problem regarding SLED 12 not supporting KDE. A key element of my customer's work-flow is using multiple virtual desktops, as many as 20, and being able to quickly navigate between them. Further, since they use so many desktops, they like to have unique wallpaper in each one to serve as visual clues to where they are. I don't believe that Gnome3 allows this functionality. Can anyone here comment on my problem? I'd really like to keep them on openSuSE 13.1/Evergreen, but we might have to look elsewhere.
