[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

[opensuse] FF 36 -- uugh! How to turn off search pop-up?
by David C. Rankin 05 Apr '15

05 Apr '15

All, Updates to 13.1 brought in FF36 which has the annoying habit of popping up a dialog for search engine selection every time I type something in the search dialog -- grr. 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 .

[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?

[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

[opensuse] On Mulitboot with UEFI
by Anton Aylward 02 Apr '15

02 Apr '15

This http://www.zdnet.com/article/hands-on-linux-uefi-multi-boot-part-2/ may be if interest to those who are just venturing into this direction for the first time. The point of my mentioning ZDnet is that its not for the ultra-geeks but neither is it for the Joe Sixpack who just wants to write to twitter and facebook. It is, however, for the 'masses' and tries to make the point that you don't have to be the pencil-neck twerp of the movies to use Linux. This series started off by making the point that it was easier to install Linux than to deal with the mess of the recent Windows updates. While I haven't done a Windows install recently and "10" may be something quite different, I've done very complex Linux installs (LVM, various FS, restores...) with less hassle than some should-be-simple operations with Windows. And yes, installing updates among them. I have up trying to move a hard disk from a dying mobo to a new one, something that you 'just do it' with Linux. I've a much more detailed posting on 'installation' coming up. -- 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] what requires fontconfig libgd3 libjbig2 libjpeg8 libtiff5 libvpx1 libXpm4
