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.

[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

[opensuse] USB NIC issue

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.

[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.

[opensuse] Any where to go for help with X widows and an external monitor
by don fisher 15 Apr '15

15 Apr '15

Hello again, I have tried everything I can think of, including building a new 13.2 system, but I cannot get openSuse to boot with an external monitor attached. I do not understand the different layers present in openSuse, and why one is required to open the system settings and manually configure the external display after the boot. What does the Display and Monitor application know about that the system is ignorant of before my manual intervention. There was a time back when one generated an xorg.conf file that contained all of the settings for all of the monitors and graphics adapters. No user space application was required to enable the external monitor, and the boot scripts appeared on both screens, if configured that way. Now if I boot with the external monitor the refresh rates are trashed. If I ctrl-alt-backspace and get back to the X server, remove the external display, it comes up synced correctly. Then I can go and manually add the external monitor. But I am in a situation where the computer and its screen are not convenient. I have a hub that allows me to switch my monitor, mouse and keyboard between many computers. Why is it designed this way? Is there any way to eliminate the manual step through the Display and Monitor GUI? I do not understand what has been improved by this added complication. What am I missing? I can find no openSuse mailing list for X related issues. I did have this working under Fedora, so I know it is possible. Please advise.

[opensuse] Intermittent freezing of system/desktop
by Bob Williams 13 Apr '15

13 Apr '15

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I've had this problem off and on for several years, and over several iterations of openSUSE. My current setup is openSUSE 13.2 desktop with KDE5/plasma5. Graphics card is nVidia 9600GT running the latest nVidia proprietary drivers, driving twin monitors. Every so often, the system freezes for between 5 and 60 seconds. The mouse cursor still moves, but windows won't scroll, desktops won't switch and often sound gets cutoff for the duration of the freexe-up. It's irritating, but not a show stopper. I'm running gkrellm, including its 'Proc' viewer. This shows ~540 processes and 4 users, but when the lockup occurs, the brown graph climbs up to the top of the view port then gradually subsides. I've also tried having htop running, but it doesn't provide much useful information - no CPU hogging, no swapping out, etc. It would seem there may be some process that runs away every so often. Is there some file I can monitor or tail to catch it in the act.

[opensuse] sistemad - is /usr/local/lib/sistemad/system the right place for local service units?
by Per Jessen 12 Apr '15

Just wondering if /usr/local/lib/systemd/system is the right place? The path isn't created by default at installation time, but that could just be a plain omission. I've created it on a 12.3 system, put a service unit there, works fine. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (15.4°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] help with zypper
by don fisher 11 Apr '15

11 Apr '15

I wanted to build a openSuse 13.2 system on an AMD rather than my current Intel platform. I was planning on installing 13.2 from the installation disk, then adding the packages required to mirror my current system. I have studied a lot of the zypper manpage, bloody 1953 lines long! I found a file /var/log/zypp/history that appears to contain all of the updates to my system. The manpage suggests "see the shell command". But the manpage also says "shell support is not complete so expect bugs there". The history file appears to have installation date and time, a command, package name, version, architecture, followed by what appears to be maybe some path to the RPM? Is this what the shell is expecting, and will it read these lines and update my other machine? Or is this the wrong approach all together? The manpage states that if I had set the keeppackages property, all of the RPMs would be saved in /var/cache/zypp/packages and I could use zypper to install them directly from there. But I did not know about that property until recently. Comments, suggestions?

[opensuse] Problem adding Wireless after install
by Carl Spitzer 11 Apr '15

11 Apr '15

On laptops and desktops this works aucomagically when the wireless is connected at install time. However if you forgot it or went old school and later decide to add wireless your in problems. Currently I have an older system with 11.4 on it and I am trying to add wireless after the fact with Yast. I have installed iw and smpppd and gone into Yast to setup the Engenious 9603H which works fine on the laptops. I have tried setup in Yast with manual trigger ifup ifdown and no go. What is the best way to overcome this short of reinstall. And before you ask most of my stuff is to old for 13.x even my best systems choke on Gnome 3. so upgrading to a hung system is not in the works.

[opensuse] Help with VGA display on laptop.
by don fisher 10 Apr '15

10 Apr '15

I have just begun researching this problem, so pardon me if I missed the obvious again;-) I have a Dell 1721 laptop with an AMD/ATI RD690M {Radeon Express 1200/1250/1270] graphics controller. OpenSuse 13.2 functions perfectly on the internal UXGA laptop screen. But when I connect an external monitor (Dell 2405FPW also UXGA) and boot the system the graphics are trashed. Both are UXGA, and I tried Unified Outputs. And this also happens when the monitor is turned off during the boot. So I assume it is the presence of the VGA plug that is causing the corruption during boot. If I plug the monitor in after the system has been booted the monitor does not detect the computer, suggesting that the computer is in a sleep mode. But if I look at System Settings/Display Configuration GUI both screens are shown. The laptop monitor is working great and the external monitor sees nothing. I have successfully used this pair of devices since 2008 under Fedora?? So I assume it is a setup problem. Tomorrow I will try a fresh install from the distribution disk with the monitor connected to see if there are any variations. I also tried to make a VGA connection from my laptop that provides HDMI connections. It has an Intel graphics chipset. I used an HDMI to VGA adapter and achieved similar results. But if I connect this unit via the HDMI cable rather than the VGA cable it functions correctly. Tomorrow I will also try connecting the this computer through the VGA cable to the HDMI monitor, as opposed to the UXGA monitor. Is there a guide to setting up X under openSuse 13.2? Since the system works in single monitor mode, I am assuming that the kernel modules etc. are correct. Nothing obvious was present in my dmesg file, but I am not sure what to look for. I have edited xorg.conf files since the 90s, but I believe that is discouraged now. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
