[opensuse] printer install
by Tony Alfrey 15 Jun '15

15 Jun '15

Hello; For years I've used a printer w/ parallel port, but I had to replace it with a new HP. I have a simple network Apple Wireless router from comcast modem. Wireless bridge to a second Apple wireless router. This bridge has ethernet to SuSE 13.1 linux box. This bridge has USB connector to new HP printer. Also can connect one of several ethernet ports on bridge to HP printer. Wireless Mac talks to Linux box, Wireless Mac talks to printer. Cannot configure printer to communicate with Linux box, Linux box does not see printer in YAST. What is the transparent way to set up a printer on a Linux box?

[opensuse] zypper: trying the mirrorlist feature
by Carlos E. R. 14 Jun '15

14 Jun '15

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, In this post: <http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2014-10/msg00096.html>, it was mentioned a feature to locally define a list of alternative mirrors for repositories, in the .repo file: #baseurl=http://direct/url/to/specific/site mirrorlist=url://server/path/to/mirrorlist.file This feature is not documented, AFAIK. So, with the current problems with packman, which doesn't use mirrorbrain or some other balancing or failover mechanism, I decided to try it. In the packman .repo file, I wrote: #baseurl=http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/packman/suse/openSUSE_13.1/ mirrorlist=file:///etc/zypp/repos.d/packmanmirrorlist.file And I created "/etc/zypp/repos.d/packmanmirrorlist.file": http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/packman/suse/openSUSE_13.1/ http://mirror.karneval.cz/pub/linux/packman/suse/openSUSE_13.1/ Then tried: Telcontar:~ # zypper --verbose ref EXT_Packman Verbosity: 1 Non-option program arguments: 'EXT_Packman' Initializing Target Specified repositories: EXT_Packman Checking whether to refresh metadata for EXT: Packman Repository Error retrieving metadata for 'EXT: Packman Repository': Url scheme requires path name <=============== Skipping repository 'EXT: Packman Repository' because of the above error.

[opensuse] oS 13.2 KDE4 and dictd
by Carl Hartung 14 Jun '15

14 Jun '15

Hi All, I installed dictd from the opensuse-education repo using zypper (Thanks OpenSUSE Education!!!) It installed fine but without a default configuration, i.e.: carlh@linux:~> dict example 'dict.conf' doesn't specify any dict server This is for my own personal use and the system isn't a server. What's the minimal config needed to get it working? I've read the man pages and reviewed the supplied example configurations but none of them seem to clearly discuss or explain my admittedly rudimentary requirements. In the latter case, it's almost as though all the comments have been stripped from the .conf files. TIA & regards, Carl -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Where can I find logfiles from last update?
by MarkusGMX 14 Jun '15

14 Jun '15

I recently made an update on my 13.1 machine with the latest patches from the standard repositories. Now I have to check something. Where can I find the logfiles, which items/packages have been updated? I had this already once but I forgot this "tiny" detail. ;-) Thanks in advance Markus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] 13.1 updates -> lengthy shutdown/reboot delay
by Felix Miata 12 Jun '15

12 Jun '15

I have a number of 13.1 installations. I've not been formally tracking, but it seems every time lately that I do zypper up, the immediately following shutdown or reboot is delayed several minutes. The subsequent boots' reboots/shutdowns are normal. Anyone else noticed this? How would someone troubleshoot something like this to maybe facilitate filing a bug? Journalctl -b -1 generates a usage error: Failed to look up boot -1: Cannot assign requested address >From the man page I can't tell what the syntax is supposed to be to get the previous boot's log. As is normal for man pages, there are no useful examples - it gives journalctl -k -b -1, but it generates the same error, and this on both 13.1 and TW. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

[opensuse] Whole disk encryption?
by Lew Wolfgang 11 Jun '15

11 Jun '15

Hi Folks, The IA Overlords are rattling their sabres again and are demanding that Whole Disk Encryption be applied to all systems to protect data while its "resting". Basically, if a system is off, all data on non-volatile memory devices has to be encrypted. A TPM can be used for authentication once power is supplied, or the system could prompt for a password before booting. Would openSuSE, or anything else for that matter, support this kind of a thing? I think TrueCrypt came close, but how would it handle multiple 70-TB partitions?

by stakanov＠freenet.de 10 Jun '15

10 Jun '15

I experience since the last update of KDE a breakage of the scrolling function of my Logitech mouse. Anybodyelse that experiences a non working scroll since KDE 4.14.8? So in that case I would file a bug report.If not, what else could be the reason? After the to immutable attribute. Was that foreseen and could it be atthe origin of my scrolling problem?

[opensuse] glibc and openSUSE-2015-383
by Lew Wolfgang 10 Jun '15

10 Jun '15

Hi Folks, I'm getting dinged by Tenable on some of my 13.1 x86-64 boxes. The Tenable plugin here: http://www.tenable.com/plugins/index.php?view=single&id=83867 says openSUSE-2015-383 will patch the problem. glibc-2.18-4.32.1 is installed on the systems, but Tenable wants glibc-2.18-4.32.2 So I find this security announcement: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-updates/2015-05/msg00084.html As instructed, I run "zypper in -t patch openSUSE-2015-383=1" which says "patch:openSUSE-2015-383 = 1" is already installed. But the Package List doesn't show glibc-2.18-4.32.2, and rpm -qa shows only glibc-2.18-4.32.1.x86_64. Does openSUSE-2015-383 not work for 13.1 x86-64? Was the fix backported? Or is this a falling out of support thing? Is Evergreen working for 13.1? Thanks for any help. If I can't explain this I'm going to have to do some crash upgrades to 13.2 to thwart the jack-booted IA Storm Troopers.
