[opensuse] GRUB hangs after cloning root partition from one machine to another machine
by Keith Roberts 17 Apr '15

17 Apr '15

Hi all. I used Clonezilla to make a backup of a suse 12.3 root and home partition on a production machine OK. A Dell PowerEdge R240. Previous to that on an identical test machine, I was able to make snapshots of sda2 + sda3, and restore these partitions again to that same test machine, and it booted OK from the GRUB prompt. So that was my DR plan in place and documented! Now I have used Clonezilla to make a snapshot of the production machine’s root and home partitions, and when I try to restore the root OS partition to the test machine I cannot even get a GRUB command line prompt. All I get is the word GRUB and a frozen command line. Can anyone shed some light on this please? I can run the restored OS to make changes using System Rescue CD, but I still obviously need to get the machine to boot from the GRUB command line. sda is a RAID-1 set divided into four primary partitions. sda1 swap sda2 / sda3 /home sda4 /other TIA Kind Regards, Keith Roberts-- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] wicked and network change
by P.Suetterlin＠royac.iac.es 17 Apr '15

17 Apr '15

Hi list, I recently upgraded (rather:re-installed) my system to 13.2, which first used NetworkManager for setting up the network. Though it was sort off annoying that I always had to restart my VPN after a hibernation, what really made me dump it was that several times after an zypper up it lost all connection to the device, and I ended up rebooting to return it to a sane state... So I changed to wicked (I'm not using wireless anyhow), and set up VPN via systemd. While this works fine, it behaves weird when I switch to a different (wired) network (as I do daily between home and work). The network is set for DHCP, and after boot I can see the IP address using ifconfig. But if I suspend and resume connected to the other network, ifcofig will still show the old address, allthough I can see in the system logs that DHCP has acquired a new address for that interface. Indeed, 'ip addr show' lists two: snoopy:~% ip addr show enp0s25 3: enp0s25: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP group default qlen 1000 link/ether 00:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 192.168.1.33/24 brd 192.168.1.255 scope global enp0s25 valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever inet xxx.xxx.xxx.23/24 brd xxx.xxx.xxx.255 scope global enp0s25 valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever I find this somehow - wicked. Is this the default/expected behavior? My old system (12.3) always had only one address active. Is there a way to get back to the old way?

[opensuse] email server error messages
by Greg Freemyer 17 Apr '15

17 Apr '15

All, re: openSUSE 13.1 I've got a small email server I'm running. Basically it just accepts emails and forwards them out. There are some log entries that look like errors, but as far as I know all if good.

[opensuse] USB NIC issue
by Stevens 17 Apr '15

17 Apr '15

My systems 1 & 2: OS 13.1, KDE 4.11.5 One is 32 bit, one is 64 bit. >lsusb Bus 002 Device 009: ID 0b05:17ab ASUSTek Computer, Inc. USB-N13 802.11n Network Adapter (rev.

Both systems exibit the same behavior. OK, they work. Linux auto detects them and, after the NIC is configured via Yast, there is network connectivity. For a while. An indeterminate time, really. Maybe a few minutes, maybe and hour, maybe a day. It ain't the nic, it ain't the hardware, it has to be the operating system. I have applied updates but nothing has changed the behavior. Has anyone on the list run across this behavior before? It is quite frustrating. I have a workaround that keeps an su term open with "systemctl restart network.service" which re-initializes the nic but having to do that really sucks. The 32 bit system is at my grandkid's place and she is definitely computer challenged but she seems to understand the issue and is able to restart the networking when necessary.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hello Don, I was trying to reply you directly but comcast refuses to talk with my email server (they require all mail servers to have a PTR record with a valid reverse DNS entry).

[opensuse] Converting from firefox to chrome(ium)
by Anton Aylward 15 Apr '15

15 Apr '15

Has anyone made this conversion successfully. I tried it earlier today and met with problems a) importing the settings from firefox at all! Only a limited part of the bookmarks came though, what was on the menu bar. None of my daily snapshots came though. I don't know about forms etc. I never got that far. b) I had a backup/bookmarks of my current tabs and imported just that and tried opening them all. The tabs were unreadable compared to FF, and I could not get any of them to actually display. After a while the load factor crept up into the 50s. I've never had it that high on Linux before. It renders the machine unusable. So whatever shortcomings FF has I don't see that I can replace it with Chrome. What am I doing wrong?

[opensuse] Help with setting CPU frequency
by don fisher 15 Apr '15

15 Apr '15

This one has been a real problem for me. I will provide a brief summary, and more specifics if requested. I have a couple of older laptops (AMD based Dell 1721) that I would like to use for reading documents etc. It took hours to install openSuse on them because the CPU speed is kept at the lowest level. If I do a cpupower frequency-info, it provides a range of valid values from 0.8GHz to 2.2GHz. When I examine entries in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq I find: cpuinfo_max_freq 2200000 cpuinfo_min_freq 800000 cpuinfo_cur_freq 800000 scaling_max_freq 800000 scaling_min_freq 800000 bios_limit 800000 I am worried about the "bios_limit" being set so low, and where does that setting come from. I did a grep on /etc, /usr/lib, /usr/lib64 and /usr/share and could find no file referencing bios_limit. When I searched /lib I found three modules, including the powernow-k8 module that included that reference. This bios_limit entry is also not present on my other, faster, machine, which does limit overclocking. And I see no place in the 1721 BIOS setup that allows setting a limit on CPU speed. The list of available governors is userspace, ondemand and performance (currently set to userspace, probably because I tried manually the cpupower frequency-set -f 1800000 command, which had no effect. I am back on my faster machine now, and plan to unroll the kernel source and see what I can discover there. I do not know if powernow-k8 sets, or just reads that entry. Any help would be appreciated. I just do not understand why the cpuinfo_max_freq entry can be set to 2.2GHz, while a limit is also set to 0.8GHz.
