[opensuse] 13.2 & Firefox intermittent 'stalling' with excessive cpu
by Carl Hartung 20 May '15

20 May '15

Hi All, This one has me really pulling my hair out. It started a couple of updates back and it hasn't improved since. I can be left waiting several seconds, up to 20 or 30 seconds or even more, when I close tabs, open new tabs, open new windows and close those windows. Because I keep several logged in sessions going at once and I 'context switch' like this many, many times throughout the day, these delays are badly impacting my work. To the best of my knowledge, I haven't added anything new to the mix, just installed the normal updates. I'd appreciate any pointers or ideas that you may care to share. >From 'top': PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 1688 carlh 20 0 4142004 1.917g 36092 S 20.93 49.56 910:06.20 firefox System 2.0GHz Core2Duo T5800, 4GB RAM, 512GB SSD, 512MB GeForce 9300M GS 3.16.7-21-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Apr 14 07:11:37 UTC 2015 (93c1539) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Firefox 37.0.2 for openSUSE 13.2 java-1_7_0-openjdk-headless-1.7.0.79-7.4.x86_64 libjavascriptcoregtk-3_0-0-2.4.7-4.10.x86_64 java-1_7_0-openjdk-1.7.0.79-7.4.x86_64 java-1_8_0-openjdk-1.8.0.45-9.3.x86_64 java-1_8_0-openjdk-headless-1.8.0.45-9.3.x86_64 java-1_7_0-openjdk-plugin-1.5.1-4.1.x86_64 libjavascriptcoregtk-1_0-0-2.4.7-4.11.x86_64 javapackages-tools-2.0.1-9.1.3.x86_64 timezone-java-2015c-19.1.noarch java-1_8_0-openjdk-plugin-1.5.1-4.1.x86_64 Adblock Plus 2.6.9 CoLT 2.6.5 Easy Copy 2.5.2 Extended Copy Menu (fix[sic] version) 1.6.1c Firebug 2.0.9 openSUSE Firefox Extensions 1.0.2 QuickNote 0.7.5 Video DownloadHelper 5.2.0 Web Developer 1.2.5 OpenH264 Video Codec provided by Cisco Systems, Inc.

[opensuse] change opensuse email addrs to different provider
by Patrick Shanahan 13 May '15

13 May '15

I am changing internet providers and am failing to redirect my opensuse mail addresses. I went to novell/attachmate and changed my mail address from roadrunner to gmail and it appears to have set, but I am still receiving list mail to paka(a)opensuse.org via roadrunner (according to mail headers). https://en.opensuse.org/Special:Preferences indicates the desired change? What do I have to do to complete this change? tks, -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] What GRUB recovery option do you use?
by Keith Roberts 09 May '15

09 May '15

Hi all. Following on from my post about GRUB hanging, I just wondered what - if any - disaster recovery options you use to fix a broken GRUB boot loader? I’m in the process of adding a failsafe GRUB boot process to my DR list of options.

[opensuse] no space left on the device
by jdd 06 May '15

06 May '15

Hello, I was hit this morning by the "no space left on the device" symptom, probably related to BTRFS (?), when btrfs's df (znd normal df) gives at least half space free. To work I had to reinstall on the other disk a 13.2 version (with ext4, this time). I know it's a discussed problem, and I read many posts on the subject, but It still don't get how to solve it. I *can* login with the failsafe mode, as root (or not), CLI only, but any action that include temp file fails with "no space left on the device", yast segfault... I cleared /tmp and some files in /home with no change. Is it possible to recover this? how? thanks jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Successor for former powersave package?
by Bjoern Voigt 01 May '15

01 May '15

In older openSUSE and SLES versions there was a package called "powersave": https://www.suse.com/documentation/sles10/book_sle_reference/data/sec_power… Especially the schema settings were useful, if an admin wanted to enable some powersaving features without detailed configuration. An example: /etc/sysconfig/powersave/common: AC_SCHEME="performance" BATTERY_SCHEME="powersave" Is there any good alternative for this package, especially for computers without a GUI? The package is gone. I already know the Powertop tool which does a good job, but it's interactive.

[opensuse] Invoking script after package update
by Stanislav Baiduzhyi 30 Apr '15

30 Apr '15

Quick question: is there a way to trigger some script after any package update or install? Either after specific package, or just after any update and let script decide if it should do something or skip. Mostly interested in kernel updates, so zypper/yast trigger should be enough, no need to intercept rpm itself. -- Regards, Stas -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] full filesystem probs
by Patrick Shanahan 28 Apr '15

28 Apr '15

Excuse me if this appears as a double post, but my isp has changed and my opensuse.org email has not been updated, so I have not been able to see posts here for about 12 hours. <quote> My Tumbleweed root filesystem, btrfs, keeps jumping to full or nearly so. I just cleaned /.snapshots/ of a considerable amount but each time I remove unnecessary files, the system quickly fills itself. What to do? It doesn't appear to be a problem with /tmp and/or /var/tmp or /var, but what do I know..... tks, </quote> I am presently preparing to reinstall the root filesystem and using xfs or ext4 instead of btrfs, which I suspect is part of the problem. tks, -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
