[opensuse] simple bash unicode / octal encoding question
by Greg Freemyer 03 Jul '15

03 Jul '15

I'm running bash. I'm trying to access a file explicitly that has a unicode char in the name: > ls *mynd.dd | od -c 0000000 i 314 201 m y n d . d d \n 0000013 Naively just trying to put those as octal chars isn't working: > ls i\0314\0201mynd.dd ls: cannot access i03140201mynd.dd: No such file or directory I believe \0314\0201 is actually a single unicode char. What is the right syntax?

[opensuse] importing CA's into firefox
by Hans Witvliet 03 Jul '15

03 Jul '15

Hi all, I know you can add manually additional trusted (sub-)CA's into firefox, by clicking through the GUI's, but... Is this also possible non-interactively, ie, by means of a shell script? I presume they end-up somewhere in: ll .mozilla/firefox/default/*.db ~/.mozilla/firefox/default/cert8.db ~/.mozilla/firefox/default/key3.db ~/.mozilla/firefox/default/secmod.db As if i backup/restore cert8.db manually added CA's disappear. On the other hand, those files appear to be just hashes. and I see PEM files under: /etc/ssl/certs/ but also under: /usr/share/ca-certificates/mozilla/ So what is the magic required to do this automatically? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Need reference for 'printf -v var "format" value` (info coreutils/printf invocation - is silent)
by David C. Rankin 03 Jul '15

03 Jul '15

All, I need a reference citation for the use of `printf -v` that writes the formatted output for a value to a variable. The use is: printf -v varname "format specifier" value example: $ printf -v f "0x%02x" 13 $ echo $f 0x0d I know how to use it, I just can't find a reference that tells me I can use it like that. I've checked the man pages and info coreutils/printf invocation, but I can't find a reference to the `-v` option anywhere. What say the gurus? -- David C.

[opensuse] bash completion and sudo
by Michael Fischer 03 Jul '15

03 Jul '15

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] Bridge stop bridging
by Marco 03 Jul '15

03 Jul '15

Hello all. Since I have updated the kernel (3.16.7-21-desktop) one of the bridges bridge name bridge id STP enabled interfaces br1 8000.94de8070da77 no enp5s0 vnet3 vnet8 randomly stops to bridge to the Ethernet card and I have to reboot the system to restore a working system (+- daily now unfortunately). Enp5s0 is the 1Gb Ethernet and vnet3 and vnet8 are connected to two KVM hosts. The ethernet card works, i.e. I can tcpdump the physical LAN network traffic with -i enp5s0 however tcpdump -i br1 shows only the traffic of the vnet3 and vnet8 interfaces. Removing and then adding again the interface enp5s0 is not producing any result, as it is not producing any result removing and reloading the Ethernet module r8168.ko before adding again the interface to the bridge. I was also thinking it could be an STP related problem that it is now disabled, but nothing has changed. Now, before filling a bug report, I want to understand what is going on. Does anyone else have a similar problem? And may I ask where I can find some input on how to debug/mining the bridge module?

[opensuse] Microsoft Excel 2010 in Wine
by Paul Groves 03 Jul '15

03 Jul '15

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] Problem starting apache2
by Anton Aylward 03 Jul '15

03 Jul '15

I'm asking this here because its well out of my field of experience and expertise. I've always just set up Apache (and ownCloud) according the to the instructions and in the past its "just worked". I've never known enough about Apache to do tuning or play around with the various things like Tomcat or Struts. I just about know enough to look in the logs and I don't see anything there that gives me a clue to the failure modes. I've just run a 'zypper up' and it installed some updates to ownCloud 2015-07-03 08:44:49 <1> Mainbox(2218) [zypp] MediaCurl.cc(MediaCurl):459 MediaCurl::MediaCurl(http://ftp.halifax.rwth-aachen.de/opensuse/repositories/isv:/ownCloud:/community/openSUSE_13.1/noarch/owncloud-config-apache-8.0.4-15.1.noarch.rpm, ) and more lie that for other components of ownCloud. I don't see anything in the logs that was a change to Apache alone. However, apache isn't restarting. # /usr/sbin/start_apache2 AH00526: Syntax error on line 10 of /etc/apache2/conf.d/owncloud.conf: Invalid command 'SetEnv', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration. That file reads # nl conf.d/owncloud.conf 1 Alias /owncloud "/srv/www/htdocs/owncloud/" 2 <Directory "/srv/www/htdocs/owncloud"> 3 Options +FollowSymLinks 4 AllowOverride All 5 <IfModule mod_dav.c> 6 Dav off 7 </IfModule> 8 SetEnv HOME /srv/www/htdocs/owncloud 9 SetEnv HTTP_HOME /srv/www/htdocs/owncloud 10 </Directory> 11 <Directory "/srv/www/htdocs/owncloud/data/"> 12 # just in case if .htaccess gets disabled 13 Require all denied 14 </Directory> When I look at the diff between that and the rpmsave I see that lines 5-9 have been introduced. I'm unclear from the docs if I should have a mod_env or just the mod_envif Mainbox:/etc/apache2 # grep -R mod_env * returns nothing but Mainbox:/etc/apache2 # grep -R mod_setenv * server-tuning.conf:<IfModule mod_setenvif.c> sysconfig.d/loadmodule.conf:LoadModule setenvif_module /usr/lib64/apache2-prefork/mod_setenvif.so Is that supposed to include the SetEnv directive or not? When I look in /usr/lib64/apache_prefork, and others, I do see a apache2/mod_env.so but there's nothing in my config that references anything like that. All the 'LoadModule' directives are in 'loadmodules.conf' and thy all reference items in /usr/lib64/apache2-prefork/ I would have thought that 'SetEnv' would have been a pretty fundamental option but it seems not to be used elsewhere. Odd that. Now is this a bug? Perhaps the testers had mod_env installed & configured for some other reason? -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Descent 3 on OpenSUSE 13.2 x64?
by Philip Vossler 03 Jul '15

03 Jul '15

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."
