Hi. With 12.3, bash completion generally work(s/ed) for me. However, in 13.2, it does not, unless I modify /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion at line 1741 to include `sudo` specifically, AND source it again for each xterm window I open... The file has, at least in theory, been sourced from the chain /etc/bash.bashrc /etc/profile.d/bash_completion.sh /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion However, I still have to explicitly source it again in the newly-opened xterm to get `sudo` commands to tab-complete (e.g. `sudo ls <TAB>..`) 12.3 seems to have had the pattern: /etc/bash.bashrc /etc/profile.d/complete.bash Re-jiggering /etc/bash.bashrc to prefer /etc/profile.d/complete.bash over /etc/profile.d/bash_completion.sh on 13.2 doesn't seem to help. The only difference I see between the 12.3 and 13.2 versions of complete.bash is the inclusion of the block starting with if ! type -t _completion_loader &> /dev/null ; then _completion_loader () Any explanations? Suggestions on getting back sudo <CMD> <TAB>... completion?

[opensuse] Microsoft Excel 2010 in Wine

by Paul Groves

I would like to be able to use excel in wine and I have almost got it working. Sor far I have followed these steps: step 1 deleted ~/.wine step 2 run command (to make my wine prefix 32-bit not 64) WINEARCH=win32 winecfg step 3 follow instructions here https://www.liberiangeek.net/2012/06/how-to-install-microsoft-office-suite-… step 4 excel installed (32-bit version) with no errors so did the dotnet20 and msxml and corefonts pacakages. When excel is opened I get the error: Not enough memory to run Microsoft Excel. lease close other applications and try again This install works fine on windows so it is not my disc I have tried on my laptop which has 4GB RAM (3.2GB fre when I tried to open excel) and my desktop which has 32GB RAM of which most is free. Does anyone have any clue how to get this working? Perhaps there is a setting telling wine how much memory it has available?

[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] created new disk array, partitioned w/parted, but cannot mkfs.xfs: dev busy??

by Linda Walsh

How can a raw disk partition be busy? I am able to read/write to it with 'dd': time dd if=/dev/sdd1 of=/dev/null bs=16M count=128 2147483648 bytes (2.1 GB) copied, 5.70285 s, 377 MB/s 5.72sec 0.00usr 2.21sys (38.77% cpu) > time dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdd1 bs=16M count=128 2147483648 bytes (2.1 GB) copied, 7.65681 s, 280 MB/s 7.66sec 0.00usr 2.82sys (36.94% cpu) I've never seen an unformatted raw partition on a disk be busy before...? lsof & fuser turned up nada... FWIW, I'm trying to create a new rootdisk that can hold root+usr+usrshare Maybe this is a sign that I'm being drawn toward the wrong path.... -- 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
