[opensuse] Pulseaudio update breaks my audio
by stakanov＠freenet.de 24 Apr '15

24 Apr '15

Hi, just to ask before filing a bug report. The most recent pulseaudio update openSUSE-RU-2015:0741-1 did brake the audio on my Lenovo X201 notebook. The HDMI sound is not available any more within applications, but HDMI works (a bit scratchy so) when it is selected before starting applications using audio. It reproduces the test sound. Once any application that uses audio is started, the mixer only shows "Pulseaudio" as selection. This is a Problem because I am using a notebook on an Ultrabase docking station and normally you have to choose between HDMI, Analog and others. Now what happens is Default Alsa Output (currenlty PulseAudioSound Server) is default and even if I go to a highter Priority for HDMI it is not proposed or accepted by any application. How can I tell Pulseaudio to use HDMI when available as default. Currently I can use HDMI at all anymore. Only the analogue card inside of the notebook and the notebook speaker are used. Suggestions and help highly welcome. --- Alle Postfächer an einem Ort.

[opensuse] opensuse network fails on reboot
by don fisher 23 Apr '15

23 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. Output from ifconfig before the restart is: wlp11s0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr C0:38:96:60:41:79 inet6 addr: fe80::c238:96ff:fe60:4179/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:193 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:22 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:43333 (42.3 Kb) TX bytes:5137 (5.0 Kb) After: wlp11s0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr C0:38:96:60:41:79 inet addr:192.168.7.55 Bcast:192.168.7.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fda6:1c9c:a527:0:3cf0:aa95:5ade:8651/64 Scope:Global inet6 addr: fda6:1c9c:a527:0:c238:96ff:fe60:4179/64 Scope:Global inet6 addr: 2601:5:a100:7c:c238:96ff:fe60:4179/64 Scope:Global inet6 addr: fe80::c238:96ff:fe60:4179/64 Scope:Link inet6 addr: 2601:5:a100:7c:3cf0:aa95:5ade:8651/64 Scope:Global UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:523 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:178 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:113615 (110.9 Kb) TX bytes:35095 (34.2 Kb) The state of my other interface is setup-in-progress, waiting for a cable to be plugged in. The wireless interface was listed as up by ifstatus: wlp11s0 up link: #3, state up, mtu 1500 type: wireless config: compat:/etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-wlp11s0 it just would not do anything.

[opensuse] full filesystem probs
by Patrick Shanahan 23 Apr '15

23 Apr '15

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, -- (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] ssh tunnel question
by Greg Freemyer 23 Apr '15

23 Apr '15

All, This thread is a split from the autossh in windows thread, but this is pure opensuse. I'm messing with ssh reverse tunnels for the first time in a couple years. Using a openSUSE 13.2 target laptop and a openSUSE 13.1 server === >From the target (a laptop) I'm trying the command: ssh -R 5590:localhost:22 user(a)cloud1.intelligentavatar.net (cloud1.intelligentavatar.net is a test server of mine.) but it is not working as I expect 2 questions: 1) On the client after invoking the above I get an interactive command prompt on the server as if I ran ssh with no args. I don't recall that happening before. What do I need to change on the ssh line on on the 13.1 server to NOT have it actually give me an interactive command line. I only want the tunnel established. FYI: from the examples online I think what I'm doing should already work, so this may even be a bug of some kind? 2) I had tunneling working last night and this morning. Then it quit working. I had to reboot the opensuse 13.1 server to get it working again. I hope that is not a recurring problem, but for now, nothing to do that I know of.

[opensuse] help with wicked
by don fisher 23 Apr '15

23 Apr '15

Please, no flames. I went into the yast2 gui and changed the network setup from Network Manager to Wicked. All appeared happy until I went to firefox. If I clicked on google, it came up and performed the search I requested. But when I tried to load one of these, opensuse.org, I received an "unable to Connect" failure. All of the name servers I had previously listed for wicked are grayed out under Network manager, so I am curious if the ones I had listed are not correct, or I listed them improperly. Also, what should be in Domain Search field? Comcast, my ISP provides the following: Domain Name: hsd1.az.comcast.net -- is what I put in domain search DNS1: 75.75.75.75 DNS2: 75.75.76.76 When I do a ifconfig I get: ifconfig enp9s0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 34:E6:D7:01:2A:DD inet addr:192.168.7.56 Bcast:192.168.7.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::36e6:d7ff:fe01:2add/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:6550 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:5126 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:3477529 (3.3 Mb) TX bytes:916184 (894.7 Kb) Interrupt:18 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:65536 Metric:1 RX packets:435 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:435 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:44663 (43.6 Kb) TX bytes:44663 (43.6 Kb) wlp11s0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr C0:38:96:60:41:79 inet addr:192.168.7.55 Bcast:192.168.7.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fda6:1c9c:a527:0:c238:96ff:fe60:4179/64 Scope:Global inet6 addr: 2601:5:a100:7c:b063:134f:a462:95fb/64 Scope:Global inet6 addr: fda6:1c9c:a527:0:b063:134f:a462:95fb/64 Scope:Global inet6 addr: 2601:5:a100:7c:c238:96ff:fe60:4179/64 Scope:Global inet6 addr: fe80::c238:96ff:fe60:4179/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:6815 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:1682 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:1667635 (1.5 Mb) TX bytes:341085 (333.0 Kb) Anything obvious I am doing wrong?

[opensuse] Mixed Ethernet interface configuration
by Roger Oberholtzer 22 Apr '15

22 Apr '15

We assemble systems where Ethernet devices are statically configured. They are initialized when the system boots, and the user does not have access via, say, KDE. They can only be modified by root, and typically in yast. We like this because any accidental change causes havoc. I would like to add a USB network device to the mix. It will be a telephone that the system tethers to in order to access the outside world. In the best of worlds, it would automatically be configured via DHCP. But I do not see how to do this via the traditional static method. The device may not be connected when the system boots. And it may be a different telephone at any time. I do not know how to predict the device handle. I am trying to see how to keep the static network configurations not under user control while allowing other ones to be dynamic and under user control. Or at least allow the USB device to get configured in a predictable fashion when it is connected. I had thought that a udev rule may also be a way to go. But I don't seem to get that to work as expected (surely my mistake somewhere). Anyone have any suggestions about how to best accomplish this sort of thing? -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Question re some files in the root directory in oS 13.2
by Basil Chupin 22 Apr '15

22 Apr '15

Daily a list of some files of unknown worth (to me) keeps growing in the root's root directory. An example of these files is here: http://susepaste.org/56549975 What are these .auth* files and what purpose do they serve? By asking this I am not asking for an in-depth explanation of what they are or reason for their existence but asking whether they can be deleted before they takeover the space on the hard drive? :-) There doesn't appear to be any process which deletes them so can - or do I need to - delete them on a regular basis?

[opensuse] imap, thunderbird and roundcube
by jdd 22 Apr '15

22 Apr '15

Hello, I come again with the same subject, because I have an other problem (minor) on the very same config. On Thunderbird (imap, dovecot server), I deleted three folders. thses folders do not show anymore in roundcube (and squirrellmail) on the server, but they keep coming again in thunderbird. I'm not sure when. If I delete them, they disappear, but I see them again sometime after (after reboot? after update?) I notice this because then the folder list is too long to be seen in my screen :-) any idea what I can do? these folders are empty thanks jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
