[opensuse] force changing ssid
by buhorojo 24 Sep '15

24 Sep '15

Hi We have a series of rooms with wifi. If we walk from one room to the next, a phone or an ipad will use the wifi in the new room. An opensuse 13.2 laptop doesn't do that. You connect to room one and you stay with room one all day unless you walk out of range or reboot. Is there a way we can make the opensuse change as per the phones? We think the relevant part is NetworkManager Applet 0.9.10.0 but don't know where to start.

[opensuse] A free bus
by Dsant 23 Sep '15

Do you know a free and open-source bus (like the PCI-bus, which is not free at all), which can be found in real world and that works well with Suse ? Dsant, from France -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] How to start a program (wicd) at boot
by Thierry de Coulon 23 Sep '15

23 Sep '15

Hello all, I'm trying to connect at work to a WiFi controlled by a Windows WPA2-Enterprise setup. I've put back the original HD that has a Windows 10 install on it and had no problem connecting. Network manager (13.2) does see the network and let me enter username and password, but no success as to a connection (always comes back asking for the password). I've googles a lot, this sort of problem allready have been encoutered (and solved) on other distributions. Until now I could not solve it on openSUSE. So I decided to remove NM and go back to wicd. One Click Install fails because I don't have Firefox, but I managed to install from rpms. Wicd does work, but it asks for the root password and regularely fails on start. Mor googling told me I should start wicd on boot, but all the instructions are outdated and don't works (chkconfig on 12.3 but does not seem to be there anymore, some hints about systemd and new commands but nothing works either. I'm wondering if I should install 13.1 instead - or look for another distribution...

[opensuse] tumbleweed update repo link broken? Or installation borked
by stakanov＠freenet.de 22 Sep '15

I have the most recent snapshot of tumbleweed installed. However it does not accept updates. When I put in the address, the repo is accepted without complain (link form the webpage of tubleweed. But when I try to do an update: no update repo defined. Does somebody else have a broken tumbleweed update funktion? Has there been some announcement that I did miss? --- Alle Postfächer an einem Ort.

Re: [opensuse] Installing Opensuse 13.2 on a Macbook 2.1 (2006)
by Benjamin 21 Sep '15

21 Sep '15

Hallo again! I managed to install refind through an old osx and then with refind i managed to install oS 13.2 but when i everytime i start the laptop the entry of oS is shown in refind. When i select it a black screen is coming say: "No bootable device found…insert a bottable…". And: When i insert the Install-DVD while the laptop is booting i reach at first the menu of the install-dvd. When i then select "Boot from harddisk" everyhing works fine and grub2 is loaded and oS ist working like a charm… I think it has to do with the bootmanager (refind) and the bootloader of oS. I also tried the follwoing: created a folder "Opensuse" in the /sda1/EFI/efi/ and put in there the vmlinuz… kernel and the corresponding intird… this lead to the result that the bootoption has shown up in the refind menue buzt when i select it the process hangs up. I also tried to rename the kernel with .efi ending. I also tried to enable efistub but i don know how to do this… Help is appreciated ;) Thanks, Benjamin. Ps.: Thanks Simon for your good advice!

Hello, Now I am experimenting with openSUSE 13.2 Rescue CD booting from CD, but I cannot enable SSH using kernel command line. I tried "sshd=1 password=linux", "usessh=1 password=linux" - nothing works. I would like to boot rescue system through PXE exposing ssh access. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
