[opensuse] Growing btrfs file partitions -- will this work?
by Anton Aylward 25 Apr '15

25 Apr '15

I'm experimenting with Btrfs. I made a Btrfs file system for a LVM partition as /srv. I grew it after growing the LVM partition (PV). I then shrunk it and shrunk the LVM PV, All well and good. However I have a machine with root and swap as primary partitions outside of the the LVM which is the rest of the disk Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 63 353429 176683+ 83 Linux /dev/sda2 353430 2377619 1012095 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/sda3 2506140 4610654 1052257+ 83 Linux /dev/sda4 40965750 156296384 57665317+ f W95 Ext'd (LBA) /dev/sda5 45704988 156296384 55295698+ 8e Linux LVM sda1 is /boot sda3 is / Because of this I can't grow the root partition. In an ideal world everything would be on LVM and I could manipulate the space allocation as my heart desired. In a perfect world I'd never need to have /boot on its own real partition for when disaster strikes. I understand that Btrfs can add extra drives. I think this was originally intended to mean extra spindles, but I don't see why I can't create a LVM logical volume -- vgmain-ExtraRoot -- and add it. # btrfs device add /dev/mapper/vgmain-ExtraRoot / At this point I could re-balance as well, though I'm not sure if that is necessary or not. # btrfs filesystem balance / What I am NOT sure about is if I have to modify the entry in /etc/fstab to tell the system about this. I also don't know if I need to do a mkinitrd as well. Possibly /dev/sda3 / btrfs device=/dev/sda3,device=/dev/mapper/vgmain-ExtraRoot As for the initrd, shouldn't that do a btrfs device scan of some kind? This seems a potentially disastrous step. I don't want to do it on my production machine. I do have a laptop running 12.1 but it has an ext3 ROOTFS: Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda3 980M 228M 685M 25% / # mount | grep sda3 /dev/sda3 on / type ext3 (rw,noatime,noacl,commit=60,data=ordered) I understand that ext3 can be converted to BtrFS but how much slack space is needed? What are the side effects? Perhaps the BtrFS gurus can advise? ------------------------------- Oh, and when that's done and I have a potentially large (and growable since its not on a LVM LV) space, I can .... Somehow ...

[opensuse] How to make tags and comment work in Dolphin/Konqueror?
by Anton Aylward 24 Apr '15

24 Apr '15

I'm finding that dolphin lacks the ability to add ratings/tags/comments to files that stick around. I can enter them, and they promptly vanish. Baloo is enabled and running.

Well, you've jumped in the deep end with that. perhaps the reason I make progress albeit slowly is that I don't bite things off in big chunks. I do 'incrementalism'. If I were faced with that I would first get wired working with wifi completely out of the picture. Then I'd get wifi working with wired completely out of the picture. hey! Wait up! That EXACTLY what I *DID* do! OK so it was the days before wikd, but never the less. The point here is that I *KNEW* for certain what did work as components before trying to combine them. Have you established them BOTH individually as components? Have you established that you can switch between them manually with both configured? I could live with manually disabling wifi when I plugged a cable in. As i said, my use-cases are sufficiently differentiated between home(=wired) and not-home(=wifi) that manually switching is not a big issue, not a deal breaker. Do think about your actual use-case as opposed to a hypothetical. How often, where, when, why, will you be running on wifi then suddenly an Ethernet connection appears? Will manually switching make life impossible for you? -- 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] Video problems on newspaper web site.
by James Knott 24 Apr '15

24 Apr '15

The Toronto Star recently made some changes that affect videos. With many videos, I am getting an error message: "The video you are trying to watch is currently unavailable. Please try again later. Error Code:VE_PD_NOTFOUND" When I search on that error code, it appears it's related to Flash, which is no longer being updated for Linux. It also seems to happen on recent videos, not older ones. Any ideas? Here is a link to one video that fails: http://www.thestar.com/news/canada/2015/04/23/killer-sent-photos-of-dead-wo… BTW, this is in Firefox on openSUSE 13.1. tnx jk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] opensuse network fails on reboot
by don fisher 24 Apr '15

24 Apr '15

I have configured wicked to control my wired and wireless devices. The wireless start mode, read from ifcfg-wlp11s0, is auto which according to the man page means start on boot. When I did a reboot I was forced to execute in ifdown and ifup before it was connected.

[opensuse] Firefox problem
by Thomas Taylor 24 Apr '15

Firefox (37.0) is not saving it's history when closed. This is under OS 13.1/kde 4.11.2. FF used to save the history of open tabs but no longer does that. When I open the history menu all the restore options are grayed out. Is there a shortcut to force saving this history?

Helllo Bob. I think everything may be all right. Did you try to boot the system with the NO KMS parameter? I think your system might have settings in KDE or GTK that are not feasible without the nvidia driver. To get a normal boot you will have to choose that option. If it starts, it will then be enough to put it as a fixed boot parameter (or to change the video driver again if you want to try again with nvidia). --- Alle Postfächer an einem Ort.

[opensuse] Help with rebootable systemd configuration
by don fisher 24 Apr '15

24 Apr '15

Hello, I just got two of my computers running opensuse 13.2 to communicate over ssh and mount each others directories via NFS. In order to do accomplish this I had to load and start numerous services. sudo systemctl enable rpcbind.service sudo systemctl start rpcbind.service sudo systemctl enable nfsserver.service sudo systemctl start nfsserver.service sudo systemctl enable sshd.service sudo systemctl start sshd.service Reading the documentation I think that the way this is to be automated is to include links to the desired services residing in /usr/lib/systemd/system/* to the directory /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants. Then during boot when the mujltiuser starts all of these services will be started again. Is this interpretation correct? I notice that when I installed the sshd service it already made one of these links for me.

[opensuse] query on "wicked" on boot on Tumbleweed
by ianseeks 24 Apr '15

Hi if i escape the boot sequence to watch the services starting, it get stops on "wicked" with this message:- A start job is running for wicked managed network interfaces (30s/) it seems to be pausing for something else as the number in brackets starts at "1s" and usually gets to to "30s" before it "times out". Anyone know whats going on? it holds up a fairly fast boot regards Ian -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
