[opensuse] Opensuse on a usb flash disk: installation and partitioning advice needed
by Ottavio Caruso 12 Jul '15

12 Jul '15

Hello, new to OpenSuse but not new to Linux (10+ years plus some BSD experience). I am thinking of having a go at OpenSuse and I was thinking of installing it on a 16GB flash drive to play with it before transferring it onto a partition on my old Thinkpad (64bit). Is there anything I should know before installation? Which is the best filesystem? Ext2, Ext4 without journalling or other? What's a recommended partitioning layout in case I want to keep my applications but reinstall the base system one day? Does the live image support persistent settings? Thanks. -- Ottavio -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] 13.1 FF38 - Why all the new "Secure Connection Failed" screens?
by David C. Rankin 12 Jul '15

12 Jul '15

All, I don't know if this is flash-player related (doubt it) or some other 'feature' in FF38, but not FF is flashing up screens of: <quote> Secure Connection Failed An error occurred during a connection to startpage.com. Peer's certificate has an invalid signature. (Error code: sec_error_bad_signature) The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified. Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem. [Try Again?] Report this error </quote> Really? It is 'startpage.com' I used it all morning, now sec_error_bad_signature?

IIRC when the 'heartbleed' SSL bug was discovered last year (April?), I simply built a new rpm with the new source for my then 11.4 box. You need to check the version carefully and check for a test to detect the vulnerability on your system if the version number is ambiguous. -- David C.

Anyone on the list running opensuse 13.2 on linode? I am curious about which suse supplied kernel version would best suit that environment. Right now I am running a linode supplied kernel, but it is missing some modules I need. -- Jeremy Baker <jab(a)mbcs.ca> GnuPGP fingerprint = EE66 AC49 E008 E09A 7A2A 0195 50EF 580B EDBB 95B6 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Zebra printers & Cups
by Koenraad Lelong 10 Jul '15

10 Jul '15

Hi, I would like to install a Zebra EPL1/EPL2 label-printer on Opensuse (both 13.1 and 13.2). It seems those printers are not available. On sourceforge I found zebraCupsDrivers.zip, but this does not contain these printers (only zpl). OpenPrinting.org has only one Zebra-printer, but it's not the type I need. How can I install such a printer ? On Ubuntu-systems these printers are available, but I can't find where the ppd's of the printers are located. Any suggestions ? I downloaded the cups-source-rpm's but those do not contain ppd's AFAICT. Thanks, Koenraad. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] RIP SSLv3
by Basil Chupin 10 Jul '15

10 Jul '15

The Internet community officially banishes the notoriously unsafe Secure Sockets Layer protocol. The venerable “secure” network protocol Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) v3 has met its end. SSL has co-existed on the Internet alongside its presumed successor TLS for many years, even though experts have long warned of its shortcomings. A recent rash of high-profile incidents, however, including the famous POODLE exploit, have finally caused the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) to take action. Request for Comment (RFC) 7568 “Deprecating Secure Sockets Layer Version 3.0” officially states the requirement that SSLv3 should not be supported. The RFC is unusually blunt, with its all-cap stipulation that “SSLv3 MUST NOT be used.” Although most systems today support the safer TLS, many provide fallback support for SSLv3 if an SSL connection is requested. Attackers have perfected the technique of requesting an SSL connection then use one of the many exploits associated with SSL. RFC 7568 states that “Any party receiving a Hello message with the version set to {3,00} MUST respond with a ‘protocol_version’ alert message and close the connection.” Many OS and application vendors have already turned off support for SSLv3 through patches and security updates. http://www.linux-magazine.com/Online/News/RIP-SSLv3 BC -- Using openSUSE 13.2, KDE 4.14.6 & kernel 4.1.1-0 on a system with- AMD FX 8-core 3.6/4.2GHz processor 16GB PC14900/1866MHz Quad Channel RAM Gigabyte AMD3+ m/board; Gigabyte nVidia GTX660 GPU -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] 13.1, awstats doesn't display icons

[opensuse] BTFS issues
by Moby 09 Jul '15

09 Jul '15

Stick OSS 13.2 machine running kernel 3.16.7-21-default. Machine has four SATA drives of 500 GB each. All drives are partitioned identically with 3 partitions each. First partition is 1G of type BIOS Boot. Second partition is 2 G of type linux raid. Third partition is of 463G of type linux raid. Second partitions of all drives are setup as a RAID5 md device md0 and used as swap. Third partitions of all drives are setup as a RAID5 md device md1 and mount as / (the root filesystem). Machine has been running fine for some time, doing much of nothing other than daily zypper updates etc. A few days ago, I copied massive amounts of data to /data/save1 (unsure of total amount, copied close to 1.1 TB, then deleted about 500 MB, then copied about 600 or so MG again). The copies were done with rsync and completed with no errors whatsoever. Once the copies completed, I decided to a btrfs balance (btrfs balance start /)- and that is where the fun began. btrfs kept failing with messages like below in the log (below is a grep 'btrfs' from journalctl -b so the messages are not necessarily contiguous): [44950.935025] BTRFS info (device md1): relocating block group 3706217037824 flags 1 [44954.665729] BTRFS info (device md1): relocating block group 3705143296000 flags 1 [44966.689827] BTRFS info (device md1): found 156 extents [44985.223754] BTRFS: bdev /dev/md1 errs: wr 9911, rd 0, flush 0, corrupt 0, gen 0 [44985.224033] BTRFS: bdev /dev/md1 errs: wr 9912, rd 0, flush 0, corrupt 0, gen 0 [44985.224285] BTRFS: bdev /dev/md1 errs: wr 9913, rd 0, flush 0, corrupt 0, gen 0 Running a btrfs scrub / showed no errors or issues at all. Then I started doing btrfs balance start -dusage=X and noticed that it would succeed up to X = 73 and fail after that. Then I started deleting subsets of data. I did btrfs balance start -dusage=X after each delete and noticed that as more and more data was deleted, X kept increasing before the balance would error out. Now, 4th day of the saga (slow system!) I have btrfs balance running successfully with -dusage=95 but still failing with error similar to above with -dusage=100. Do I need to keep on deleting data and doing the balance until balance succeeds with -dusage=100 ? Above, while more or less a test (the data exists in the source still so I am not too worried about losing from this btrfs file system), has scared me a bit about using btrfs for truly production data. Does anyone know what the btrfs errors in the log mean? I am assuming it has something to do with the requirement of doing a btrfs balance every so often. I know that btrfs has issues when at high usage capacity, and one has to balance etc. However, this is the first time I am seeing it, and knowing it happened without the data copy failing with a disk full error or anything of that nature has left me with the impression that btrfs is not suitable for production use. I would much rather have had my data copy fail with some disk full type error or what have you than run into this apparent time bomb. Other than the balance errors, everything else is fine on the filesystem, I can create files, delete files, system reboots fine (even though this is /). Thanks and I eagerly await comments from others who have seen this. -- --Moby They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. -- Benjamin Franklin -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

There are some running programs that might use files deleted by recent upgrade. You may wish to check and restart some of them. Run 'zypper ps' to list these programs. Why am I getting the "failed" and "unable" lines? Half of those are for stuff I don't even recognize or need. E.g., there's nothing here that's "microsoft" or "apple". I don't know if something's telling the upgrade to try those, and it shouldn't be trying, or if those SHOULD be working and there's a problem. Where do I start to look?
