[opensuse] Descent 3 on OpenSUSE 13.2 x64?

by Philip Vossler

Yesterday I found the descent 3 (linux version) install disk languishing among my music collection and i have managed to install and patch the game to v1.4b. When I attempt to execute /usr/local/bin/descent3 I receive the error "Descent 3 Message(Error: Illegal font file: lohud.fnt. ) System Error" I have searched the web for solutions but the only suggested resolution is a reinstall and that was for the Microsoft Windows version - never the less I did try reinstalling and tried running the game with no patches applied but received the same error message Has anyone on this list run the game on OpenSUSE 13.2 (or a recent linux distro), and has anyone ever come across a font file with the name "lohud.fnt"? I thought it might be fun to play the game over the weekend but it looks as though I could spend the time trying to fix this issue rather than playing the game...I'd appreciate any advice as I'm stumped for a solution. regards Phil Vossler "......sooner or later that day comes and you can't hide from the things that you've done anymore."

[opensuse] Inkscape not exporting gradients with transparency

by Paul Groves

I have discovered that Inkscape is not exporting to pdf or eps or printing any object with a gradient fill and a transparency. These objects come out as white. Any idea how to fix this?

[opensuse] systemd segfault

by auxsvr＠gmail.com

After the latest glibc update, systemd crashed as I was restarting dbus, systemd-logind etc. The only way to resume normal operation was to restart the system. Has anyone else seen this? -- Regards, Peter -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Reminder Leap Second 2015 Today - older openSuSE systems

by David C. Rankin

All, Just a reminder that older 11/12 system may not handle the leapsecond today gracefully. If using ntp, placing ntp in 'slew mode' will allow for graceful handling of the second. The attached script, if run before 7/1 will place ntp in slew mode, and if run after 7/1 will restore the original configuration. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[opensuse] Btrfs clone with dd, gotcha

by Chris Murphy

I'm catching up with archives and found a thread on cloning and wanted to point out that in particular on Btrfs this can be a problem: "Do not make a block-level copy of a btrfs filesystem to a block device, and then try to mount either the original or the copy while both are visible to the same kernel." https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Gotchas The same problem applies to LVM snapshots (thick or thin). And likely similar problems apply to ext4 and XFS when using metadata checksumming. This isn't the default yet in ext4, but is the default with XFS format v5 starting with xfsprogs 3.2. btrfs-progs 4.1 now has a way to change the fs volume UUID. So after cloning if there is *any* possibility the two file systems will be visible to the kernel at the same time while one will be mounted, first it's best to change the UUID on one of them. This will take a while as the fs volume UUID is used constantly in the metadata format. In effect the whole fs (minus data) has to be read and written. There might still be bugs, but another way to clone a Btrfs volume is the seed device. Make A a seed device, and it mounts read-only, add a new device to the volume, then umount and remount, and it mounts read-write, then delete the seed device and data is migrated to the new device. But also, the UUID is unique on the new device. After it's completely, the seed device can be made a non-seed volume again (no longer mounts read only). Just an idea. -- Chris Murphy -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

Re: [opensuse] Whole disk encryption?

by Chris Murphy

This describes how to have encrypted /boot with single passphrase unlock (rather than twice, once for GRUB and once for Linux). It uses a key file which is on the encrypted volume. http://www.pavelkogan.com/2014/05/23/luks-full-disk-encryption/ The problem at the moment on openSUSE is it seems you can't have non-LVM LUKS volumes (just standard partitions). That poses a problem for encrypted Btrfs, so I wonder how that's supposed to work? The GRUB crypto work seems solid, even grub-mkconfig appears to recognize it's on a LUKS volume, and sets up the grub.cfg correctly. It makes the unencrypted, separate /boot seem antiquated. And also in a Btrfs context where we want /boot snapshot along with /lib/modules so they're in parity, is kinda important. -- Chris Murphy -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] MinGW cross compile on 13.1

by Roger Oberholtzer

A month or so ago I started getting the following message when I cross-compile Windows apps using MinGW from OBS. icon_c.lib: error adding symbols: File in wrong format The lib/dll files have not been recompiled in over 4 years. I am guessing what has changed is the MinGW. Oddly, it only complains about a couple files. Most all works great. Anyone else having problems linking with some libs? Of course I do not have the source for these libs so I cannot recompile them. -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Problem installing package update - curl-7.42.1-2.47.1.x86_64

by Gustav Degreef

Hi folks, I am getting errors updating and I can not resolve it neither via zypper nor YOU. Never had anything like this before. This is a 13.1 (64 bit) system that was previously upgraded from 12.3 (I think more than one year ago). I also upgraded KDE to version 4.11.5 back then. The system has been running fine for the past year and has always been fully updated till this error. Here is if the output of zypper patch (sorry for the long post, I'm not sure the info is all necessary). Any help sorting this out would be appreciated.

The on-disk format has been stable for quite a while, maybe 18 months or more. So kernel upgrades make a huge difference. But the opensuse kernel dev team does backports of the major fixes found in new kernels and puts them into the stable kernels for opensuse 13.2 (not sure about 13.1). But not every possible bug fix and feature enhancement is so easily back ported so not everything makes it. So there's still many cases where a kernel upgrade will fix a problem. For instance, from today's 4.2 kernel git pull for Btrfs: 38 files changed, 1697 insertions(+), 1711 deletions(-) Development is still extremely active. -- Chris Murphy -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
