[opensuse] can't boot (wrong UUID?)
by Glenn Holmer 19 Jul '15

19 Jul '15

openSUSE Tumbleweed here on a multi-boot system. One of the other Linux installs reformatted the swap partition, so it has a different UUID now. As far as I can tell, that's keeping SUSE from booting, because it drops to an emergency shell and one of the last messages I see says that the UUID for the swap partition doesn't exist. I edited /etc/fstab to change it to match /dev/disk/by-uuid, and I also edited the "resume=" lines in grub.cfg, but it still won't boot (with the same message referencing the old UUID). I can't find anyplace else where the old UUID is specified. Anybody have any ideas? -- Glenn Holmer (Linux registered user #16682) "After the vintage season came the aftermath -- and Cenbe." -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] An observation about printers. - An OPINION piece.
by Billie Walsh 19 Jul '15

19 Jul '15

For quite a long time I have watched the list(s) and see a lot of people having issues printing. As best as I can recall it is usually some printer like a Brother, Kodak, a recent example a Kyocera. Very soon after I quit using dot matrix printers I stopped buying anything other than HP printers. No other brand seemed as reliable. Bought a nice Epson. A few months later it went toes up. Tried a couple other brands with similar results. I've got an old HP All-In-one on my desk that I have retired from active printing and use just the scanner bed. Been there for years. The ink dried up in the cartridges years ago. But the bloody thing just keeps working. If I put in the new cartridges it would print just like when it was new. When I switched over to Linux my printers just worked, after I learned to install HPLIP. Some time back we decided it was foolish to have multiple printers, each with a different ink cartridge, so we bought an HP network printer. Worked right out of the box. Set it up with CUPS and off and running. As in the subject line, this is my observations on printers. The issues with printers on the list(s) just reinforces my opinion to never own anything but HP printers. You are welcome to have differing opinions. That's your right. I do not own any HP stock. I receive no compensation from HP in any form other than printers that work, which I purchase with my hard earned money just like you purchase yours.

[opensuse] direct computer-to-computer voip program
by Istvan Gabor 19 Jul '15

19 Jul '15

Hello: Maybe I asked this before but can't find any reference. Is there any voip program for linux/openSUSE that works directly from computer to computer? Something similar to skype but without the need of registration and use a central server. I think of something with server and client part and make calls directly between them knowing the other computers IP address. Possibly can be directed through ssh tunnel or encrypted. (Something like vnc but for voice.) Thanks, Istvan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] preventing 'no space lef ton device' error
by Istvan Gabor 18 Jul '15

18 Jul '15

Hello: This applies to openSUSE 13.2 system with its default btrfs file system. So far the system has crashed two times because of snapshots occupied all free space. How can I make sure that it will not happen again? I regularly check space availability using df -h command. Is the output of this reliable? It now gives: Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda5 21G 17G 4.9G 77% / devtmpfs 1.8G 0 1.8G 0% /dev tmpfs 1.9G 184K 1.9G 1% /dev/shm tmpfs 1.9G 2.1M 1.9G 1% /run tmpfs 1.9G 0 1.9G 0% /sys/fs/cgroup /dev/sda5 21G 17G 4.9G 77% /var/tmp /dev/sda5 21G 17G 4.9G 77% /var/spool /dev/sda5 21G 17G 4.9G 77% /.snapshots /dev/sda5 21G 17G 4.9G 77% /var/lib/mailman /dev/sda5 21G 17G 4.9G 77% /var/opt /dev/sda5 21G 17G 4.9G 77% /var/log /dev/sda5 21G 17G 4.9G 77% /var/lib/named /dev/sda5 21G 17G 4.9G 77% /var/lib/pgsql /dev/sda5 21G 17G 4.9G 77% /tmp /dev/sda5 21G 17G 4.9G 77% /var/crash /dev/sda5 21G 17G 4.9G 77% /usr/local /dev/sda5 21G 17G 4.9G 77% /srv /dev/sda5 21G 17G 4.9G 77% /opt /dev/sda5 21G 17G 4.9G 77% /boot/grub2/i386-pc According to this I have 4.9 G free space on the root fs. Is that correct? Thanks, Istvan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Grub2 fails to boot (opensuse 13.2)
by eddie 17 Jul '15

17 Jul '15

I do not normally switch off my desktop so when grub stopped working I don't exactly know. However, my system became unbearably slow so I decided to reboot only to find that it just hung. I put in an installation CD and selected "boot from hard disk" and it did without displaying any grub menu.. I checked the grub installation and everything seemed fine but it won't boot. So I decided to do a reinstall of opensuse 13.2. The installation went well; no issues flagged up. When it finally got to rebooting it just hung as before (with nothing displayed on the screen). So I created a separate boot partition and reinstalled no error message, no change, no success. I recreated my root partition as a primary partition (originally in was part of my extended partition). Still no difference. Well I can still use my computer but I cannot boot it without a CD and there is no sign of any grub menu. I find it annoying but I can live with it (for now). The puzzling thing is that it was working okay originally, but has suddenly stopped working. I have tried writing grub to the root, boot and MBR at different times. All has come back as successfully written but still no boot. Has anyone any idea of what's going on or has anyone had a similar experience and if so how did you resolve it? Thanks in advance.

[opensuse] the end of 32-bit openSUSE?
by gumb 17 Jul '15

17 Jul '15

Since many newsgroup users are immune to the forums, it's likely many won't follow such new-fangled things as Reddit either, so I thought I'd post a link to a topic on the openSUSE subreddit to gauge users' thoughts here: https://www.reddit.com/r/openSUSE/comments/3d711c/will_leap_42_support_32bi… In summary, it's a detail that's been rather lost amidst the announcements about the new Leap 42 release, but it's looking likely that openSUSE 13.2 was the last to support 32-bit x86, unless somebody steps up to work on it. I know there's been past discussions in this group about keeping or dropping 32-bit support. I wanted to put the word out in case somebody here sees themself as able to help out. What do you think now, faced with the probability that the next stable release of openSUSE (Leap 42.1) will be 64-bit only? gumb -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Firefox and Adobe Flash - This plugin has security vulnerabilities
by Mark Hounschell 17 Jul '15

17 Jul '15

It seems like a never ending battle with this. Every time I turn around this happens. Flash was just updated to 11.2.202.481 on 07/04/15. How does one MAKE Firefox ignore this and just work as normal, using whatever Flash revision is installed. It will get updated when there is an update. My wife has been using Linux over Winblows since SuSE-11.4 but she is ready to go back because of this sort of BS.

[opensuse] libreoffice calc: how to prevent hanging out of text from cells?
by Istvan Gabor 17 Jul '15

17 Jul '15

Hello: Hopefully this is something simple: When I put text in a cell in libreoffice calc, the text hangs over the neighboring cell if text width is wider than width of the cell and the neighboring cell has no content. I would like to disable this behavior. I want visible text to be cut off at the edge of the cell even if the neighbor cell is emtpy. How can I set it?
