[opensuse] sloth cloning HD
by Felix Miata 21 Jun '15

21 Jun '15

Yesterday, several times using different ports, cables and eSATA enclosures, I tried using DFSee[1] to clone from a 320G Seagate to a 500G ST31000526SV (SV35 Surveillance series; firmware CV15; refurb acquired 5 weeks ago) Seagate. Each time, progress was horrifically slow, something like 2% in 20 minutes, and if I let it run long enough, forecasting 14+ hours to complete. I've been using DFSee for over a decade. It's far friendlier than dd. Finally I decided to just let it run to completion to see how long it would take. It's still not done. Fdisk (Knoppix 7.4, kernel 3.16.3, util-linux-2.20.1; openSUSE 12.3 & up are on the source HD) reports this to be a 512 byte sector HD, as does the Seagate PDF. Seatools long test gave it an OK. Dmesg reports nothing I recognize as out of the ordinary, but the clone is currently over 15 hours into process and reporting ETA of nearly 7 hours. I've taken smartctl -x reports before and during the clone. They are not encouraging, particularly Raw_Read_Error_Rate and Seek_Error_Rate: http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/Dfsee/smart-st3500411sv1.txt http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/Dfsee/smart-st3500411sv3.txt http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/Dfsee/smart-st3500411sv4.txt http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/Dfsee/smart-st3500411sv5.txt I don't think I've ever encountered cloning SATA speed that wasn't at least 10X what this is doing.

[opensuse] ruby and 13.2 ?
by Per Jessen 21 Jun '15

21 Jun '15

I'm setting up a server to run a ruby-on-rails app, but openSUSE 13.2 seems to be missing 'passenger'? I installed 'passenger' from http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/ruby:/extension… Then I tried installing rubygem-rails: # zypper in rubygem-rails Loading repository data... Reading installed packages... Resolving package dependencies... Problem: nothing provides rubygem(rails) = 4.2.1 needed by rubygem-rails-4.2.1-1.1.i586 Solution 1: do not install rubygem-rails-4.2.1-1.1.i586 Solution 2: break rubygem-rails-4.2.1-1.1.i586 by ignoring some of its dependencies Note - I am not familiar with ruby at all, be gentle. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (20.4°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - virtual servers, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

Re: [opensuse] KDE and Windows "moving" to the left screen

Hi Marco, If your setup is like mine, you have one display connected through the card's HDMI port and the other connected through the VGA (or DVI) port, correct? Have you invoked On Screen Display (OSD) in each external display side by side to ensure that they are configured _exactly_ the same? Does the problem persist if you swap just the displays left <> right? In KDE, Applications > Configure Desktop, under Hardware I have: Display and Monitor > Screen Locker: [x] Start automatically after 10 minutes type: [x] Screen saver > "Blank Screen" Power Management > Energy Saving > On AC Power: [x] Screen Brightness (set to maximum) [ ] Screen Energy Saving (not enabled) I suspect that when the 'migration' has occurred that KDE has interpreted 'power save mode' in your 'right' display as it having been disconnected. This could be caused by a disparity in the way that 'power save mode' is handled on the VGA/DVI side vs. HDMI. Maybe a good place to start is to turn off all power saving features, in KDE as well as in the displays (if so equipped,) and to also disable the screen saver. Once this has been accomplished, both displays will simply stay on all of the time (and the window 'migrations' will be avoided.) It might then be possible in KDE to enable just the screen saver, or just 'power saving mode,' and see if the window 'migrations' problem is 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] Why doesn't open suse use "side-by-side" versioned libraries?
by Linda Walsh 20 Jun '15

20 Jun '15

I've done this manually and had it work in selective cases, but if apps don't know to ask for a specific version of a lib, it won't ever work. Example -- some people have a cow over what version of perl is installed... but libperl.so could easily be a symlink to libperl-5.so -> libperl-5.20.so <- libperl-5.20.1.so, At the same time, libperl.5.18.so and libperl 5.16.so could be present for apps to link tot he major version (usually libperl-5.X.so) that they need. For some reason some people have a bug up their bonnet and claim patch-level locking is necessary. Yet most of the time, (not all) I can point apps that think they have to have 5.18.1 or 5.20.1 all at a libperl.so which is a perl-5.16.3, and they work fine -- with the vital bit that the cpan-lib modules that have been pulled in are 'recompiled' (cpan manpage: -r Recompiles dynamically loaded modules with CPAN::Shell->recompile. ). Now I know that can be tedious, but giving the option to recompile is one way to keep things in sync -- but having those modules that requires a specific version -- LINK to the version they need. Instead, all the system app claim they have to link to libperl.so and then hardcode the patch-level into perl and all linkables. Microsoft solved this problem over 5 years ago using versioned libraries that are loaded side-by-side (it's not a case of 1st version that gets loaded blocks other versions (as used to be the case either preVista or preWin7..) But now, they can support apps & games from 10 years ago -- with no recompile and no source. Can someone explain why opensuse can't do something similar? 10-15 years ago at SGI, they not only used dynamically loaded libs... but configured the gui pages with what menus to show based on the available dynamic libs! Very cool. So can someone explain why some of the OpnSus devs go crazy over compatibility subjects? You'd think compatibility was a 'bad word' or bad think to have, but it used to be considered a selling feature. So when and why did it become 'evil'? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] openSUSE 13.1 - KDE - Is it possible to set 802.11 mode
by James Knott 19 Jun '15

19 Jun '15

I'm running 13.1 on a ThinkPad that's capable of 802.11 b, g & n. Is it possible to select a specific mode? Today, I wanted to do some testing to ensure that b & g couldn't connect into an access point configured for n only, but I had to run Windows to do it. Is there any way to do this, without having to boot into the dark side? I'm using the KDE network manager. tnx jk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Lenovo T550 (Intel HD5500) experience?
by Andrei Borzenkov 18 Jun '15

18 Jun '15

I'm considering renewing my notebook and look for Lenovo T550 with Intel HD5500 and Full HD 19200x1080 display. I do not know what wireless is inside (this information is mostly unavailable on web sites). I have Lenovo product number but it is not present in product lists I can see on Lenovo site (not much surprised); in case someone knows it, it is 20CK001WRT. Anyone has practical experience? Question is mostly about video, wireless and touchpad/track point compatibility . Support for internal card reader is of course a bonus. Thank you! -andrei -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
