[opensuse] Strange boot failure
by Richard Weinberger 19 Apr '15

19 Apr '15

Hi! Out of the sudden my 13.2 Thinkpad refused to boot. See: http://git.infradead.org/~rw/os132_boot_fail.jpg No getty, no X11, no nothing. How can this happen? The kernel did not panic, keyboard worked but systemd refused to continue. After a hard reset it booted fine again. -- Thanks, //richard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] grub2
by don fisher 19 Apr '15

19 Apr '15

Hello, I made a bit of mistake that I cannot appear to get out of. I modified my /etc/default/grub file to include the 1920x1200 resolution as I described previously. I have another disk in my computer, and an opensuse USB disk. When I performed my grub2-mkconfig it captured these two system also. Now if I unplug my USB drive, the system gets messed up and will not respond to commands. What commands can give grub2-mkconfig so that it will ignore the USB and other drive? It may think that that the USB is my primary system, though when during boot I f2 and the tell it to boot from the hard drive the same things happen. There must be something short of a system reinstall. Don -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

With me it depends on the "Fast TSC (timestamp counter) calibration" It is not an important issue but if it annoys you you may try the following grub parameter to see if this helps: clocksource=hpet A discussion of this problem you can find it here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18055593/how-to-solve-fast-tsc-calibrati… Don't be fooled by the subject, it is not limited by Linux booting in Virtualbox. Hope that helps somehow. I ignore it as it happens only once in a while. --- Alle Postfächer an einem Ort.

[opensuse] Kernel v4 status & experience -- default, Xen Dom0 & DomU?
by lyndat3＠your-mail.com 18 Apr '15

18 Apr '15

I caught the recent thread re kernel v4 (from Kernel Stable) use and some of the experiences being reported. Here, for desktop I'm seeing stable use with -default & -desktop. But the situation is getting slowly worse as version increases in the Xen Dom0 & DomU cases. At the moment Boots -default Boots -xen Dom0 Restarts -xen Dom0 Boots -xen DomU Pkg available? ( or -desktop) 3.16 Y Y Y Y Y (OS update) 3.18 Y Y Y Y N (ex - KernelStable) 3.19 Y Y N N N (ex - KernelStable) 4.0 Y N ? N Y (KernelStable) Anyone else seeing different behavior in these Xen server instances? Would be useful to hear either way.

The disk UUID’s have changed so maybe that is the problem? Does grub use the disk’s UUID in it’s boot block?

[opensuse] openoffice just stopped working on 13.1?

All, I used openoffice earlier today, but now it is cratering? (no updates, etc, since that time) Rather than 'M$ reboot', I want to understand what is happening.

[opensuse] insane disk activity after resume?
by P.Suetterlin＠royac.iac.es 17 Apr '15

17 Apr '15

Hi, since I switched my Laptop to OS 13.2 with BTRFS as root filesystem, after each resume I see an insane disk activity on my system disk. The HD light is flashing permanently, and activating block dump logging gives entries like Apr 17 08:31:06 snoopy kernel: kworker/u4:1(2540): WRITE block 2067264 on sdb2 (96 sectors) Apr 17 08:31:06 snoopy kernel: kworker/u4:1(2540): WRITE block 2067520 on sdb2 (32 sectors) Apr 17 08:31:06 snoopy kernel: kworker/u4:1(2540): WRITE block 2067872 on sdb2 (32 sectors) Apr 17 08:31:06 snoopy kernel: kworker/u4:1(2540): WRITE block 2068256 on sdb2 (320 sectors) Apr 17 08:31:06 snoopy kernel: kworker/u4:1(2540): WRITE block 2068608 on sdb2 (160 sectors) Apr 17 08:31:06 snoopy kernel: kworker/u4:1(2540): WRITE block 2068800 on sdb2 (128 sectors) Apr 17 08:31:06 snoopy kernel: kworker/u4:1(2540): WRITE block 2089472 on sdb2 (96 sectors) It really seems to be going through the *whole* disk (100G), it is currently still running, 1h 40 after resume. Does anyone have an idea *what* the reason for this is, or how I can try to find out? This is an SSD, so I'm definitely NOT amused about this massive writing (at least) two times per day.
