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.

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.

For those who are more adept with zypper than I am -
I wanted to add "apcupsd" to a newly installed 13.2 xen-host:
---------------
# zypper in --no-recommends apcupsd
Loading repository data...
Reading installed packages...
Resolving package dependencies...
The following 8 NEW packages are going to be installed:
apcupsd fontconfig libgd3 libjbig2 libjpeg8 libtiff5 libvpx1 libXpm4
8 new packages to install.
Overall download size: 1.6 MiB. Already cached: 0 B After the
operation, additional 5.6 MiB will be used.
Continue? [y/n/? shows all options] (y): n
-----------
I don't really see a need for all this graphics stuff, hence my feeble
attempt with "-no-recommends". Looking at "--requires" output for
apcupsd, it doesn't require any of it.
I tried the same installation on a different system:
# zypper in --no-recommends apcupsd
Loading repository data...
Reading installed packages...
Resolving package dependencies...
The following 6 NEW packages are going to be installed:
apcupsd fontconfig libXpm4 libfreetype6 libgd3 libvpx1
Although not head-less, this box is also text-mode only etc., so no need
for any graphics stuff.
zypper se --requires fontconfig
(nothing that is installed)
zypper se --requires libXpm
(nothing that is installed)
zypper se --requires libfreetype
(nothing that is installed)
zypper se --requires libgd3
(nothing that is installed)
zypper se --requires libvpx
(nothing that is installed)
So, why does trying to install apcupsd drag along all of
this "fontconfig libgd3 libjbig2 libjpeg8 libtiff5 libvpx1 libXpm4" ?

Hi all,
I'm managing a few servers with the default openSUSE 13.1 tomcat7.
I now require to upgrade tomcat to version8 (8.0.21 preferably).
However I didn't find any repository providing it.
I could install it manually and configure a systemd service for it,
but I would prefer it the rpm way.
Is anyone using it? If so can anyone provide me it's location?
Thanks for your help,
