[opensuse] Can I use SuSE 13.1 with 4TB harddisc in RAID1?
by Peter Maffter 29 Jun '15

29 Jun '15

I currently have 2* 2TB harddiscs in a RAID1 on a dual boot system with Windows 7 and SuSE 13.1 . I want to upgrade the RAID1 to 2* 4TB harddiscs. Is SuSE 13.1 capable of handling such harddiscs like HGST Deskstar NAS 4TB, SATA 6Gb/s, retail (H3IKNAS40003272SE/0S03665) Western Digital WD Red 4TB, 3.5", SATA 6Gb/s (WD40EFRX) Seagate NAS HDD 4TB, SATA 6Gb/s (ST4000VN000) Toshiba Enterprise MG03ACA 4TB, SATA 6Gb/s (MG03ACA400) ? The manufacturer says ASRock motherboard and BIOS can handle this. Aside from a backup before such an action: are there any other issues which I should take care of? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Repository Question
by Lew Wolfgang 29 Jun '15

29 Jun '15

Hi Folks, My latest task is to set up an off-line openSuSE repository to serve a subnet without any connections to the outside. Updates to the repository will have to happen via "sneaker-net" with DVD or BlueRay data disks. I've got most of it done by first creating a local repository of the modules that I need. This has gone well using rsync, allowing me to download only the deltas going forward. But I'm having trouble downloading the nvidia repository. The public url as reported by zypper seems to be: http://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/13.2/ But there are no files there. download.nvidia.com also doesn't seem to be running the rsync daemon. Yast2 reports the repository as being here: obs://build.suse.de/home:sndirsch:drivers But I can't seem to find that anywhere either. How can I make a local mirror of the nvidia repo? Or, should I just download the binary-blob .run installs directly from nvidian.com? Or is there a better way to do this whole thing? Thanks, Lew -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] restoring 'http://' protocol to address & status bars in Firefox 38.0.1
by Carl Hartung 29 Jun '15

29 Jun '15

re: openSUSE 13.2 KDE 4.14.8 (fully updated) Mozilla Firefox 38.0.1 Hi All, I just noticed that Firefox 38.0.1 was hiding the 'http://' portion of hovered-over links in the status bar, displaying e.g.: 'www.example.tld' instead of 'http://www.example.tld/' This is likely a very small issue in the overall scheme of things, but as a web developer, my ability to visually inspect the entirety of a published link by simply hovering over it is crucially important. I thought I'd share the fix: Visit about:config via the address bar and search for 'trimURL'. Double click the setting to toggle it from True to False. Problem solved. hth & regards, Carl -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] openSUSE 13.2 snapper elimination
by Istvan Gabor 28 Jun '15

28 Jun '15

Hello: This is openSUSE 13.2 with its default btrfs file system. I've been hit second time by the 'no space left on device' error at boot. My system has become unstable during work and when I tried to reboot it the error message appeared. Last time I could fix it by deleting some snapshots using snapper command. I cannot recall how I did it exactly, I found the necessary information on openSUSE forums. I have also edited my /etc/snapper/configs/root file as someone suggested on the forum: NUMBER_LIMIT="10" changed to NUMBER_LIMIT="1" NUMBER_LIMIT_IMPORTANT="10" changed to NUMBER_LIMIT_IMPORTANT="2" Now I would like to get rid of this snapper thing for good. I envisioned three options and would appreciate if received suggestions how to do them (option 1 and 2): 1. Disabling snapper completely. I don't want to keep any snapshots. 2. Convert/transfer an oS 13.2 installation on btrfs to ext3/4 file system. Is this doable? What directories do I have to transfer? (3. Abandon oS 13.2 and go to oS 13.1. I know how to do this.)

[opensuse] 13.2 lower volume
by Michael Fischer 26 Jun '15

26 Jun '15

Hi all. Upgraded the laptop to 13.2 from 12.3. Alsamixer and Yast2 both show master and PCM at 100%, but apps seem to have much lower volumes during playback. Now, it _could_ be the vlc version in part.. that's where I notice the volume difference the most. Previous installation was i | vlc | package | 2.0.6-127.2 | x86_64 | (System Packages) Currently installed is: i | vlc | package | 2.2.0-146.1 | x86_64 | (System Packages) Any notions what knobs I could try twisting? I _did_ notice the prior thread and tried changing /etc/pulse/daemon.conf ; flat-volumes = yes to flat-volumes = no With no appreciable result after restarting pulseaudio and checking with `pulseaudio --dump-conf`.

After a crash yesterday, thunderbird came up and suggested I set up a new email account - I have 3 accounts defined, but they were gone. I checked the .thunderbird directory, also checked the backup, all looks good.
