[opensuse] What could cause "ps afx" to block? And "reboot" to block?
by Carlos E. R. 28 Sep '15

28 Sep '15

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hi, it has happened to me a few times, each time I doing different things as far as I can remember. Suddenly a process hangs. CPU is about iddle, disk is iddling. But some processes do not start. A simple "ps afx" never finishes, and ^C it doesn't work. Subsequently, a reboot also hangs, does nothing. I have to hit the power button hard, more than 4 seconds. There was nothing in the log at the time. dmesg showed nothing different. However, looking at the /var/log/messages file now, I do see entries, happening when I try to reboot on console, seeing nothing, then hitting the power button. But no problem logged, as far as I can see. <3.6> 2015-09-28 13:27:19 minas-tirith dhclient 9038 - - DHCPACK from 192.168.42.129 <3.6> 2015-09-28 13:27:19 minas-tirith dhclient 9038 - - bound to 192.168.42.209 -- renewal in 1614 seconds. <3.6> 2015-09-28 13:27:19 minas-tirith avahi-daemon 1799 - - Joining mDNS multicast group on interface enp0s29f7u1.IPv4 with address 192.168.42.209. <3.6> 2015-09-28 13:27:19 minas-tirith avahi-daemon 1799 - - New relevant interface enp0s29f7u1.IPv4 for mDNS. <3.6> 2015-09-28 13:27:19 minas-tirith avahi-daemon 1799 - - Registering new address record for 192.168.42.209 on enp0s29f7u1.IPv4. <0.4> 2015-09-28 13:27:19 minas-tirith kernel - - - [64437.252819] perf samples too long (5049 > 5000), lowering kernel.perf_event_max_sample_rate to 25000 <3.5> 2015-09-28 13:27:20 minas-tirith dbus 1798 - - [system] Activating via systemd: service name='org.freedesktop.nm_dispatcher' unit='dbus-org.freedesktop.nm-dispatcher.service' <3.6> 2015-09-28 13:27:20 minas-tirith systemd 1 - - Starting Network Manager Script Dispatcher Service... <3.5> 2015-09-28 13:27:21 minas-tirith dbus 1798 - - [system] Successfully activated service 'org.freedesktop.nm_dispatcher' <3.6> 2015-09-28 13:27:21 minas-tirith systemd 1 - - Started Network Manager Script Dispatcher Service. <3.6> 2015-09-28 13:27:36 minas-tirith systemd 1 - - Time has been changed <3.6> 2015-09-28 13:28:13 minas-tirith dnsmasq 2073 - - reading /etc/resolv.conf <3.6> 2015-09-28 13:28:13 minas-tirith dnsmasq 2073 - - using nameserver 192.168.42.129#53 <3.6> 2015-09-28 13:28:13 minas-tirith dnsmasq 2073 - - using nameserver 8.8.4.4#53 <3.6> 2015-09-28 13:28:13 minas-tirith dnsmasq 2073 - - using nameserver 8.8.8.8#53 <3.6> 2015-09-28 13:27:39 minas-tirith systemd 1 - - message repeated 3 times: [ Time has been changed] <3.6> 2015-09-28 13:30:02 minas-tirith systemd 1 - - Starting Session 115 of user cer. <3.6> 2015-09-28 13:30:02 minas-tirith systemd 1 - - Started Session 115 of user cer. <3.6> 2015-09-28 13:30:02 minas-tirith systemd 1 - - Starting Session 114 of user root. <3.6> 2015-09-28 13:30:02 minas-tirith systemd 1 - - Started Session 114 of user root. ...

[opensuse] Intermittent problem with pulseaudio (OS 13.1/13.2)
by Mark Goldstein 27 Sep '15

27 Sep '15

Hi, I've always had a bad luck with pulseaudio (probably because my HW - onboard VIA VT1708S). So for many years I've been installing pulseaudio with each new release of OS and then removing it after it stopped working for me. But after skype switched to "pulse-only" mode it is not an option anymore. In the two latest releases of OS it behaves a bit better, but still from time to time I find that after turning on the machine pulseaudio loses the correct configuration. The only sink shown is dummy output. My current workaround is to disable pulseaudio in YaST HW-> Sound and then re-enable it again. In most cases after that the pulse re-gains correct configuration. (Sometimes I need to do it a couple of times, killing applications I've seen the advice on Arch WIKI to check with fuser -v /dev/snd/* who is using sound devices, but in the "bad" case it's only kmix (I'm using KDE3). In the good case there are both kmix and pulseaudio. It is quite annoying... Any advice on how to find out what's wrong here? -- Mark Goldstein -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

27 Sep '15

Hi, I am planning to buy a new laptop, which must have 15" screen. I just want a very good speed and productive one. I do build web applications and do write lot of code and different DB also I need to have and lot of other stuffs. That's why I am looking for some suggestions before going to buy it. Please some suggest me some models which you think enough enough to work happily with SUSE 13.2 or the new one UPCOMING version 41 +. Thanks in advance to all of you.

[opensuse] a boot problem question
by stakanov＠freenet.de 26 Sep '15

26 Sep '15

This is something for the elder population of you and requires some historical knowledge. I have the following setup: a 939 Athlon AMD 64 board with one HDD IDE 250GB set to master one HDD SATA 300 GB Seagate one HDD SATA WD 250 The chip-set is actually a 939DualVsta from Asrock (verrrry old with mixed AGP/PCI-e chipset) On the HDD IDE I did install Tumbleweed. During this installation I left all other disks detached. Now that works well, boots well, no problem. On the second HDD (SATA) I did install the new (and btw beautiful!) beta. With the IDE attached. This installs well. When I did install it, it offered to install the boot manager to /sdb1 (that is SATA). I agreed and thought: afterwards it will boot by IDE in sda1 so I would join the second entry in grub of tumbleweed. When booting it boots well in tumbleweed. The I did os-prober. First surprise: does not see anything. No other OS. Now, I tried to tell him boot from sda1 and as second choice I did put "boot from custom" and there I did set sdb1. Now tumbleweed said there was a problem installing the boot loader. It now blocks after the titel grub, after boot. So I went to the bios and told the PC boot SATA sdb1 as first device. This works well, in fact I am writing from the beta. When I go to the console and do su-, then os-prober..........it sees nothing, no second OS! Now the question for amateurs of archeology. It is possible to do a dual boot with two OS in THIS config? OR is it intrinsically impossible to boot a machine in dual boot with IDE and SATA on the same machine. I do already not understand why the prober does not see the other OS?? Thank you for any tip on how I could achieve this (it is that I feel it to be a waste to through away a working IDE disk only because technology has changed. --- Alle Postfächer an einem Ort.

[opensuse] automount - only some mountpoints, not all
by Per Jessen 25 Sep '15

25 Sep '15

Just before I go delve further into the automount options - does anyone happen to know if I can have autofs only mount certain mountpoints, and not others? For instance, given the directory: /var/lib/capitals/ I would like to have /var/lib/capitals/oslo auto-mounted but not /var/lib/capitals/copenhagen. The reason being - "/var/lib/capitals/copenhagen" is local, "/var/lib/capitals/oslo" is remote. I've tried creating /var/lib/capitals/copenhagen before starting automount, but this produces this funny situation: calcium:/var/lib/capitals # ls -l $PWD/copenhagen ls: cannot access /var/lib/capitals/copenhagen: No such file or directory calcium:/var/lib/capitals # l total 0 drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 0 Sep 24 11:33 ./ drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 0 Sep 24 11:33 ../ dr-xr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Sep 24 11:33 copenhagen/ -- Per Jessen, Zürich (12.7°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - dedicated server rental in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] AdBlock Plus (for Firefox et al)
by Basil Chupin 25 Sep '15

25 Sep '15

A few days ago in another oS list I posted an article re AdBlock Plus claiming that its owner "....has been quietly approaching makers of iOS ad-blocking software, offering them monthly payouts to support the "whitelist" policy that allows the AdBlock Plus to make its money." http://www.smh.com.au/digital-life/digital-life-news/adblock-plus-accused-o… AdBlock Plus (for Firefox) had been 'replaced' by AdBlock Edge (a fork or AB+) some time ago which did not allow a whitelist of ads. I just had a look and found that AdBlock Edge has been discontinued but has been replaced (by the (?)author - I didn't check) by *uBlock* *Origin* which, of course, does not have a whitelist. FYI.

[opensuse] 13.1 - Thunderbird 38.0.2 - Plain Text Shown in Bold Consolas type Fontface?
by David C. Rankin 25 Sep '15

25 Sep '15

All, Opening tbird today I was bewildered why my display of plain-text messages was now *bold*. Additionally, while I set the plain-text font to Dejavu Mono, the font face looks like some MS Consolas?? Looking at the message headers, it seems when the header contains a Content-Type of utf-8, then I get that funky bold plain text font. Specifically, when I see this in the header: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed On the other hand, when Content-Type is just plain ascii, the message is displayed int the proper Dejavu Mono font. The headers contain: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" The only related setting is: Options-> Display-> Formatting-> Advanced-> Character Encodings-> Outgoing Which for outgoing defaults to UTF-8. However, if I change the outgoing type to match the incoming type of *Western (ISO-8859-1)*, then messages I send (to myself as a test), look normal when viewing them. A day or two ago, I took the zypper lock off of thunderbird, and first updated to the version in the Mozilla:/legacy repo, then when running a normal update, allowed it to update to 38.02 in the update repo. Is anybody else seeing this? It is annoying as ..... Looking, I found complaints at mozilla about windows versions doing this, but this is the first time I've seen it happen on Linux. Anybody else noticed this? If so, any fixes? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
