[opensuse] camera does not show up as disk on 13.2

Using SuSE-12.3 this camera is detected and I can get to it via the file manager. On 13.2 it is detected but when I open it with the file manager I get an error. Dolphin shows "USB PTP Class Camera" but when I click on it I get "Unknown error code 150 I/O; Problem Please send a full bug report at http://bugs.kde.org" The camera is a Sony Cybershot This is the dmesg output when I plug in a normal USB stick.

[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`.

[opensuse] I appear to have lost my thunderbird settings ?
by Per Jessen 26 Jun '15

26 Jun '15

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. There must be something, somewhere that tells TB which profile to use? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (15.9°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

If you aren't booted from rescue media, what's already in MBR and EBR apparently works, sleeping dogs that do not need disturbing. "Bootloader update" can be either or both of two things: 1-binary "installation" or "setup" 2-configuration (boot menuing) Of course, the latter needs changing with every kernel change, unless relying exclusively on symlinks, which most distros including openSUSE do not by default, if ever, attempt to do. On my own installations, normal booting is always via symlinks. >>> The problem is that grub2 is not doing what I think it should. >> I think that's due to bug I gave in previous email. >>> I've tried doing what *I* think is reinstall grub2 and in the MBR, I think you somehow failed.

All I know about BTRFS is it's too new for me to want to touch. It's only been about a year since I started using EXT4 instead of EXT3 on new installations, and then only on 64 bit installations, the far less-used arch here. > mkinitrd is 2.8.1-9.1 and the last changelog entry is Mon 06 Oct 2014 > 08:00:00 AM EDT. > The grub2 changelogs are 2013/2014. >> I suspect kernel-stable sees little >> service or testing on 13.1.

It's more about what I don't see than what I do. I keep irc://freenode/#opensuse-factory open, but visit it only at random.

If true, this seems to me like the above-referenced bug has caused Grub Legacy to be installed (aka setup) on MBR (and/or PBR???) without any corresponding menu configuration. It needs /boot/grub/menu.lst, not /boot/grub2/grub.cfg. I think you'll find you have both Grub Legacy and Grub2 rpms installed, as is normal even in TW. Here's something else to think about: Anton Aylward composed on 2015-06-24 19:56 (UTC-0400): > This was a 'new' 1T that I partitioned as root & swap are real > partitions and a LVM > # Start End Size Type Name > 1 34 3906250 1.9G BIOS boot parti primary > 2 3907584 15624191 5.6G Microsoft basic primary > 3 15624192 1953523711 924.1G Linux LVM primary How did you manage to have such a small (34 sector) boot "track"? Are those 4k sectors being used as 4k sectors? Can your new (from updating) Grub2 core.img with LVM and BTRFS support fit in such a space if what are logically used are 512 bytes? Has its tail managed to roll into your swap partition? Why isn't your swap partition labeled as swap by fdisk, or is it actually an M$ partition? Was GRUB happening because Grub Legacy's MBR sector was installed (due to bug) but does not support 4k? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

[opensuse] Dual Administrative Access?
by Lew Wolfgang 23 Jun '15

23 Jun '15

Hi Folks, I'm stumped on this one. I've been asked to configure an area in a filesystem that enforces the concept of requiring two users to agree to remove files from that area. Someone suggested using SeLinux, a system I know very little about. Does anyone know how to require the permission of two logged-in users to remove a file or directory? How would one prevent root from removing the files? Thanks, Lew -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
