[opensuse] Display Manager options
by Klaus Vink Slott 27 Jan '16

27 Jan '16

Hi Basic question: When I install a Window manager it seem to be automatically added to possible selections on the login screen (I use kdm) How can I remove some of these choices? Why: To make kodi play nice with Google Chrome (for Netflix) I prefer to run Kodi on Openbox. But after install I have both a "Kodi" and a "Openbox" option in the login menu. To prevent mistakes I want to remove "Kodi" as a possible option. -- Klaus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Leap - default install - out of space?
by Greg Freemyer 27 Jan '16

27 Jan '16

All, I setup a test install of Leap in a VM. Using BTRFS as per default. My first experience with BTRFS. This is purely for Leap experimentation so I hope 32GB is plenty. I accepted the default partition setup with a 32 GB drive. I have 100GB free on the underlying hypervisor filesystem, so that should not be an issue and I can easily re-install if the partition setup is just wrong. Per "df -h" I have a couple GB of freespace in / (root) and 16GB free in /home. But when I try to do anything I'm told I'm out of diskspace. Is this really how Leap is supposed to work? Not exactly user friendly. What is the immediate fix? Is there a long term fix?

I did not have the idea about the stopwatch, it is a good idea. I will try and report back (will be tomorrow because I have to study a lot these days). I did not even know I have ogg123 and sox "play". How nice. So I will try that too (on both TW and leap) with the stopwatch too and will report back on that too. Thank you very much for this input indeed. Originally these files where extracted via k3b (using lame I think, but I am not sure. It was the default for creating ogg). The setting was loss-less 100%. --- Alle Postfächer an einem Ort.

You may not have to buy a new computer. Think about these first: Use another cable, often the ones with clutches have issues (that give such a wake up signal). Try to change plug of the monitor. If it has a DVI and HDMI use the other one (maybe with an adapter) if available. If you find that the graphics card has another plug, try that first too. It could also be a mechanical problem. Before buying another monitory, try these first. Sure, cables are so expensive that they cost more than some monitors (I have noticed that mismatch and disproportionate prices for quite some time now). It is convenient to ask a friend for a spare first, maybe. --- Alle Postfächer an einem Ort.

[opensuse] chrome crashes kwin_x11 in plasma5 42.1
by tech＠reachthetribes.org 27 Jan '16

27 Jan '16

This has happened several times, but it does not always happen. If I use chrome (my preferred browser) to look at something in the course of my work, at some point suddenly kwin_x11 will crash and all my screen navigation in plasma5 will cease. The title bars disappear from all my open applications, and I am not able to switch desktops or navigate to a new application. This is what I do when it crashes like this. I hit ctrl-esc to open the resources monitor. Using that, I stop chrome (which has like 5 or 6 processes associated it, but one click kills it all in the resources monitor). On the resources monitor, the process for kwin_x11 says "stopped". I cannot kill it for some reason with the resources monitor. So then I hit alt-f2 and type in konsole. I do a > ps ax | grep kwin and find the pid for kwin_xll. I have to kill it with > kill -9 <pid> as kill all by itself won't do it. Then I hit alt-f2 again and type in kwin_x11 to restart it, and it restarts, and my desktop is back up and running, and I didn't have to exit out of all my applications. So it works, but it is a pain in the neck, and basically chrome is unusable. Anyone have any ideas? I haven't filed a bug report yet, because I think there may be something wrong with my system to troubleshoot first. -- George Box #1: 42.1 | KDE Plasma 5 | AMD Phenom IIX4 | 64 | 32GB Box #2: 13.1 | KDE 4.12 | AMD Athlon X3 | 64 | 4GB Laptop #1: 13.1 | KDE 4.12 | Core i7-2620M | 64 | 8GB Laptop #2: 42.1 | KDE Plasma 5 | Core i7-4710HQ | 64 | 16GB -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Was there no security trouble of the linuxkernel for leap?
by cagsm 26 Jan '16

26 Jan '16

I see suse enterprise updates multitudes of kernel updates there in the recent days or even weeks. None for leap. What gives? Is leap so badly neglected that we dont deserve security? Or will we get newer 4.1.x release combined with the security fixage?

[opensuse] systemd-sleep-grub debugging
by Bjoern Voigt 26 Jan '16

26 Jan '16

If my PC goes sleeping, systemd-sleep-grub does not call grub2-once any-more. This causes failing sleep mode entry (hibernate), if the running kernel is not the default kernel. I see, that /usr/bin/systemd-sleep-grub is a shell script and some logging can be found in Systemd journal. But logging is not very detailed. What is a good strategy to debug the script?

[opensuse] Boot fails to wait for a needed fstab NFS mount, fires a 'wicked nanny' error ("Failed to start Alias for NFS client.". Some systemd unit needs to wait longer?
