[opensuse] Where can I get genIS_PLAINcache
by Chuck Payne 09 Nov '15

09 Nov '15

Hi, I am trying to set up a simple repo, I read on the opensuse site about a binary called genIS_PLAINcache, because I can't see to find it or the package yast2-packmanager either. Can someone help. I am setting this repo up for SLE9, I have tried to use createrepo but I keeping getting errors. -- ---------------------------------------- When a place gets crowded enough to require ID's, social collapse is not far away.

[opensuse] printer recommendation
by buhorojo 04 Jun '15

04 Jun '15

13.2 Hi We currently have a HP printer which only works when the computer it is connected to is on. Is there a wifi printer we could use instead for laptops and phones? Whilst I can find information about the 'phone, no one has any information as to whether it will work from an opensuse laptop. Any recommendations based on experience using this setup?

[opensuse] Problem with tmux: it says there are no sessions, which is false.
by Carlos E. R. 22 May '15

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hi. On machine A, I run in an xterm: tmux new and I get the expected response in the terminal. On that machine, on another terminal, I run "tmux attach", and it attaches correctly to the first terminal. Green status line at the bottom. All as I expected. On a second machine, B, I first ssh to the A machine (same user name and UID). Then I try to attach to the tmux session, and it says no: cer@Telcontar:~> tmux attach no sessions cer@Telcontar:~> tmux ls failed to connect to server: Connection refused cer@Telcontar:~> l /tmp/tmux-1000/ total 268 drwx------ 2 cer users 4096 Apr 30 22:28 ./ drwxrwxrwt 48 root root 266240 Apr 30 22:35 ../ srwxrwx--- 1 cer users 0 Apr 30 22:28 default= cer@Telcontar:~> ps afxu excerpt: cer 4668 0.0 0.0 67400 2320 ?

[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?

[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
