[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.

[opensuse] sshd.service (openssh) fails on boot when primary listener is a bridge (br0) instead of real interface (eth0). What dependency is needed?
by lyndat3＠your-mail.com 10 Apr '15

10 Apr '15

Hi, opensuse 13.2's openssh /usr/lib/systemctl/systemd/sshd.service has a After=network.target dependency. When a real ethernet interface, eth0, is the primary 'net listener, cat /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth0 STARTMODE='auto' BOOTPROTO='static' IPADDR='192.168.1.1/24' sshd, listening on 192.168.1.1, has no problems on boot. But, if I switch to using a bridge interface, br0, with eth0 as the real interface assigned to it, cat /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth0 STARTMODE='auto' BOOTPROTO='none' cat /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-br0 STARTMODE='auto' BOOTPROTO='static' BRIDGE='yes' BRIDGE_PORTS='eth0' IPADDR0='192.168.1.1/24' sshd fails on boot journalctl -b | grep -i sshd ...

Once at the shell, br0 is fully up. sshd can be started, and it functions normally. What specific dependency can I add to the sshd unit to get it to wait for br0 being fully up?

[opensuse] Trying out wordpress - can't install a theme?
by Greg Freemyer 10 Apr '15

10 Apr '15

All, Is there write-up for how to get wordpress to run and allow themes to be installed in opensuse? == my status == Wordpress is in the server:php:applications repo so I installed it. I've hit 2 errors so far, and still can't install a theme: - Issue one: mod_php5 not enabled Solution: a2enmod mod_php5 (or can be done via yast) That allows basic wordpress to run and new posts to be made. The first thing I tried after that was installing a theme. - Error when trying to install a theme: "There are no HTTP transports available which can complete the requested request." Solution I used: zypper in php5_curl - Exposes a second error when trying to install a theme: === Downloading install package from https://downloads.wordpress.org/theme/guardian.2.0.zip… Unpacking the package… Abort class-pclzip.php : Missing zlib extensions === I haven't found the fix for that yet, but I'm surprised to hit these issues trying to get a popular package to work.

[opensuse] After fixing bridge interface activation on boot, wicked slows down boot time significantly?

I'm running opensuse 13.2. For running Xen, I need a bridge interface.

[opensuse] Manually checking ext4 file system for any errors
by Basil Chupin 08 Apr '15

08 Apr '15

In a galaxy long ago one could boot into openSUSE by putting level 1 in the boot command and login as root after which you could manually check for any errors in the ext3 or ext4 file system by issuing the following commands: mount -o remount, ro /dev/<hdX>/<sdX> followed by e2fsck /dev/<hdX>/<sdX> and, if errors were found, follow the prompt(s) to have any errors repaired. A few minutes ago I tried this on the laptop which has Tumbleweed installed on ext4 file system (I didn't want to this experiment on my main system on the desktop). Booting into level 1 seems to be OK and logging in as root was OK but then when I issued the command- mount -o remount, ro /dev/sda5 [#] I got the response (error msg) that- mount: / is busy The above sequence of commands worked for years in SuSE and then openSUSE so why has it now stopped working? Or put another way, how does one go about manually checking the file system for errors by running "e2fsck"? Why run "e2fsck" manually you may ask? Because I have found that the checking which is done automatically after X number of boots by the built-in system does not always pickup the errors in the ext3/4 file system. (Don't try to convince me otherwise because I have proven that to myself several times over the years. In any case, this is not the point. The point is why I now cannot check the file system using the method above which was spelt out in detail in the Administrative Manual which came with the version of S.u.S.E.?) Can anyone please give details on how now to manually check the ext3/4 file system for errors? [#] sda5 is where / of TW is installed.

[opensuse] default routeS post-13.1
by Felix Miata 08 Apr '15

08 Apr '15

[13.2 and Tumbleweed, with Wicked; no wireless; 1 interface per host] Googling 'site:opensuse.org sdb: network" produces nothing containing string "wicked". 'site:opensuse.org sdb: network wicked' produces nothing containing string "sdb:". https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Wicked contains nothing obviously about configuration in its few listed topics. Now that the old ways have been replaced with Wicked, search results are even harder to sift through, assuming one can get onto the web in the first place... Can more than one default route per interface be configured? If so, where? /etc/sysconfig/network/ifroute-<interface> ??? /etc/sysconfig/network/routes ??? elsewhere ??? If not, which file or files must be changed to contain the relevant GW IP? I configure my own installations with fixed IP. I want to be able to take any of them elsewhere, discover the IP of the relevant gateway/router, and using mcedit, change, or add, whatever is necessary, without starting any GUI, YaST, or any kind of "manager". Is this asking too much? I tried this several hours ago. Getting/using an IP was no problem. Working DNS was no problem. Never could get a default route into a routing table. 'route add default gw <IP>' didn't do anything regardless of what I tried changing in /etc/sysconfig/network/. What else I tried I cannot remember. :-( Same machine I specially preconfigured before leaving here with an additional 13.1 with DHCP. So when I left here, I had 1 DHCP and 3 fixed IP openSUSE installations that worked. Routing worked there in 13.1 with DHCP initially (e.g. success to ping www.google.com), but never again after lost Dlink DIR-655 router password required doing a hard reset, which reset its IP to its default 192.168.0.1. Afterward, no matter what I booted, if ifconfig -a showed a properly configured interface, I could reach the router and login with Firefox, and I could ping the router, but I could not ping www.google.com ('no route to host', among other observed failures, such as no reaction at all, depending on which OS booted). I gave YaST2 a try in either 13.2 or TW, but it didn't give me a working GW either. :~( -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

[opensuse] BTRFS barfed up my filesystem
by John M Andersen 07 Apr '15

07 Apr '15

Couple weeks ago I went on vacation. In preparation, I backed up laptop, and shut it down, (powered off). Today, I get back, fire it up, and the root file system (btrfs) will only mount in read-only mode. So I boot up with an install CD in recovery mode, run a btrfs check, and get a screen scroll of over 2500 files with reference counters of zero. The system will boot, but locks up shortly there after, and often with a watch dog timer indicating that one or the other of the CPUs locked up. (sometimes 0, sometimes 1). I can't seem to find any Google foo to repair that file system, so tomorrow I will nuke the thing, reinstall (I'm done with BTRFS, I never saw any benefit from it) and restoring from backups which I took just before vacation. This is the third time BTRFS crapped all over my machine and it seems very fragile to me while providing very little benefit, and a whole lot of ambiguity as far as disk usage, free space and the recover options seem pathetically immature. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] systemd-journal: Forwarding to syslog missed 1 messages. ?
by Per Jessen 07 Apr '15

This is a brand new 13.2+updates system - a desktop that isn't even being used. I have syslog-ng 3.6.2. According to 'man journald.conf', the default is to have 'ForwardToSyslog=yes', but with barely messages flowing (it's mostly "Forwarding to syslog missed x messages."), why are they missed? Besides, I guess this forwarding isn't needed when syslog-ng and systemd communicate using /run/systemd/journal/syslog ? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (4.1°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - your free DNS host, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] 13.1 Bash HISTCONTROL=erasedups -- not working? confirm?
by David C. Rankin 06 Apr '15

06 Apr '15

All, A value of HISTCONTROL=erasedups causes all previous lines matching the current line to be removed from the history list before that line is saved. (man bash) This isn't working on 13.1 for me. Can anyone else confirm that duplicates are NOT removed in 13.1 when this value is set? Searching, it looks like other distros have patched bash to insure this works when multiple terminals are open. (e.g.: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bash/+bug/189881) If this is confirmed, could something similar be done here? The reason, after moving my history file from 11.4 to 13.1 and running for close to a year, I have close to 14,000 duplicate lines -- despite having 'erasedups' set: current lines: 20000 - uniq lines: 6099 = 13901 duplicates To fix the problem temporarily, I wrote the current file out, then sorted uniquely, then deleted the current history, read the sorted unique file in as current, and wrote the current back to HISTFILE: $ history -w | sort | uniq > uniqfile $ history -c $ history -r uniqfile $ history -w $ rm uniqfile That seems to have fixed the issue in the current session, and ~/.bash_history is current correct, but when closing the remaining sessions, I suspect the duplicates will once again be written to ~/.bash_history, even though 'erasedups' is set. If someone can confirm 13.1 is ignoring 'erasedups', I'll file the bug. -- David C.

[opensuse] private wifi AP
by jdd 06 Apr '15

06 Apr '15

Hello, I'm preparing a workshop for OSC-15 Not knowing what will be the networks up there, I want to setup my own private access point to share files with participants. For test purpose, I simply use a wifi device on my main desktop, always connected with ethernet cable. The final will be done on my laptop with a spare usb wifi device. I created an "osc15-jdd" user with simple password for sharing. To make things simple, I try to simply use the network manager. right now the config is dawn simple: open the network applet, choose the tools icon, add a connection.. then I have options I'm not sure to understand. I have in the menu (among others): wifi, shared wifi, then virtual and vpn. as first try, I used "shared wifi". What I get is a public AP natting users to the net without any other config. From a client (just now my laptop) I can access the net (I just did an update on the laptop with this connexion), but not connect to the main. I can ping the main computer (local address 10.42.0.1), but not ssh on it. remember I didn't yet restart anything (not even sshd). This result is not the one I seek for. I don't care about internet and only want clients to be able to connect to the user osc15-jdd on my computer, with ssh or dolphin/fish is ideal. what is the simpler way to do this? thanks jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

I've already set preferences -> search to my default StartPage search and I DO NOT want to have that annoying dialog pop-up every time I type. It often covers up the very text I am reading/copying into my query. Has anyone found an about:config switch, or userChrome.css/userContent.css way to kill it? p.s. - Will someone please take UI development away from the children who liked playing with Crayons and fingerpaints... What's next? Dancing icons on mouseover toolbar? -- David C.

[opensuse] Switching to Windows
by A. den Oudsten 04 Apr '15

04 Apr '15

From time to time I switch to Windows (7), as I do the last two decennia. To my Big Surprise it is no longer possible. When I restart I get only opensuse choices. At the moment I use Tumbleweed 20150330. How can I return to the previous choices? Thanks in advance André den Oudsten -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] open a file explorer from command prompt

Hi, In Mac, I can open the current working directory from console like : (arup/rails)~: open . What's the equivalent native support in openSUSE 13.1 KDE version ? -- ================ Regards, Arup Rakshit ================ Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place.

[opensuse] quick question about dolphin and refresh (13.1)
by Per Jessen 03 Apr '15

03 Apr '15

I have some desktops on 13.1 - it was pointed out to me that dolphin doesn't automagically refresh and show e.g. new files that were created. For instance, I'll scan something with xsane, save it as a jpeg, then convert to a pdf using 'convert' from the command line. When I swap to a dolphin window with the directory open, I have to hit F5 to refresh the display to see the jpeg and the pdf. Is there yet another setting I need to tweak to enable that? On older desktops with Konqueror, new files are picked up automatically. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (8.2°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 understanding FF error on start? (Result of FF35->36 Upgrade)
by David C. Rankin 03 Apr '15

03 Apr '15

All, I need help with the following error. This error is displayed when starting FF from the command line. I suspect this is the cause of the crash reporter not showing after a crash and only a blank window being shown on regular FF start. I want to try and fix this without doing a "FF Refresh" if possible. The problem is I don't know enough about FF startup or the init sequence to know what this is telling me. After the main error, the console error points to Status-4-Evar having an undefined window. However, I think this may be the **result** of the error and not the **cause** of the error. (correlation does not equal causation...) Can somebody help decipher this error? 1428021849673 addons.xpi WARN Exception running bootstrap method startup on {d10d0bf8-f5b5-c8b4-a8b2-2b9879e08c5d}: [Exception...

[opensuse] rubygem-bundler-doc rpm packaging problem?
by Michael J Dur 02 Apr '15

02 Apr '15

I was deploying a system today (13.1) and it failed installing some ruby dependencies: Problem: rubygem-bundler-doc-1.8.4-3.4.1.x86_64 requires rubygem-bundler = 1.8.4, but this requirement cannot be provided Solution 1: Following actions will be done: do not install rubygem-bundler-doc-1.8.4-3.4.1.x86_64 downgrade of rubygem-bundler-1.8.4-3.4.1.x86_64 to rubygem-bundler-1.3.5-3.1.2.x86_64 Solution 2: do not install rubygem-bundler-testsuite-1.3.5-3.1.2.x86_64 Solution 3: break rubygem-bundler-doc-1.8.4-3.4.1.x86_64 by ignoring some of its dependencies Yet, I see: Information for package rubygem-bundler: ---------------------------------------- Repository: updates-suse-13.1-beta-seas Name: rubygem-bundler Version: 1.8.4-3.4.1 Arch: x86_64 Vendor: openSUSE Installed: Yes Status: up-to-date It seems rubygem-bundler-doc-1.8.4-3.4.1.x86_64 doesn't see this package as appropriate? I'm guessing a problem with the rpm packaging. Can anyone confirm? -Michael -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Full disk encryption with RAID+LVM+LUKS on openSUSE 13.2?
by Bjoern Voigt 02 Apr '15

02 Apr '15

I already installed laptops with openSUSE 13.2 and full-disk encryption on one hard drive. I used an UEFI boot partition (/boot/efi) and the filesystems / and /home (plus swap) on an encrypted LVM. This works. But now I have a server with three hard disks. I want to setup the same full-disk encryption with YaST like on the laptops. On the server I want to use LVM over RAID-5 (mdadm). Is this possible? (with YaST, manually nor not possible) Is there any detailed documentation for this? (Until now I am able to setup RAID-5 with YaST. But I do not find the option to encrypt the LVM volume group. Without a LVM volume group I can not use "/" as a mount point for LVM logical volumes. Encryption for the RAID 5 device /dev/md0 works. But this kind of setup may cause problems if I want to extend the LVM volume group later with additional RAID devices.) I also have a problem with unlocking the LUKS encryption. Unlocking with password works. But unlocking with USB stick does not work unfortunately. https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=915849 Greetings, Björn -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
