[opensuse] digikam crashes
by don fisher 24 Jan '16

24 Jan '16

The system I used before my fatal upgrade ran digikam. Now I receive a signal: Segmentation fault when it is run. It says it is using /lib64/libthread_db.so.1, and the current thread is 1. If I examine the dependencies for digikam in Yast2, it shows libpthread.so.0(GLIBC_2.2.5)(64bit) Could this be the problem, or is there more info somewhere else? The last entry in the dump for thread 1 is: Thread 1 (Thread 0x7f145f4a7880 (LWP 3562)): [KCrash Handler] #5 0x00007f1457fb406c in __strcmp_ssse3 () at /lib64/libc.so.6 I did a search for libthread under Yast2, with the contains switch, and is says there are no results. But the same Yast2 code lists libthread_db as a dependency. Comments welcome.

[opensuse] Tumbleweed: X Consuming Huge Amounts of Memory
by SDM 24 Jan '16

24 Jan '16

On my desktop PC, X easily consumes over 3 GB of memory within 16 hours of use and will continue crawling over the 4 GB mark. It will eventually make my system run out of memory unless I log out of and back in KDE every 1-3 days. I open and close a lot of windows (Dolphin, FF, and more), and this makes X incrementally increase its memory footprint. When I close Windows, the memory never drops back down; it just goes in one direction and that is up. Is anyone else experiencing this under TW? I'm using the radeon open source driver on a "01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Juniper PRO [Radeon HD 6750]" card. I did some tests with running Leap on a different HDD and the same PC, and this doesn't happen. This problem also didn't used to happen on TW but was introduced with a Plasma 5 update some weeks ago. I've asked around a bit through some other channels and nobody is familiar with this so I'm trying here. Any suggestions on how I can find out what the culprit is for the leak (I think it may be KDE related, not X itself)? I would file a bug report but don't know if X is the culprit, or if it's plasmashell or something else.

[opensuse] Installation DVD is horrible!
by don fisher 24 Jan '16

24 Jan '16

I have been trying to build a bootable USB drive on my 13.2 system. I plug in the USB drive, BOOT the installation DVD and select installation. I get to where it shows the devices, and select the Create Partition .. and choose the USB drive. I then have to go to Expert Partitioner to set up swap, /, and home partitions. But even after doing all that, when I start the build the damn thing first formats the USB swap partition, and then mounts a swap partition from another drive, so my fstab is corrupted. Why does it refuse to honour my request to use the USB drive? Is there a trick I am missing? The USB drive already had valid partitions on it when I started. I told the system I wanted to use all three, by checking them in the usage menu. But it then reformatted the disk, removing the existing swap and making the first partition /. It was intending to use the same swap it attached above. I do not think this should not be this hard. Why is swap so hard to deal with?

[opensuse] x11vnc is not working with TigerVNC viewer on Leap42.1
by Marc Chamberlin 24 Jan '16

24 Jan '16

Hi - For years now, I have run the x11vnc server as an xinetd daemon using the following configuration for the service - service x11vncservice { socket_type = stream protocol = tcp wait = no user = root server = /usr/bin/x11vnc server_args = -inetd -rfbauth /etc/vncpasswd -oa /var/log/x11vnc.log -env FD_XDM=1 -find -rfbport 5900 port = 5900 type = UNLISTED } and up until when I upgraded to Leap42.1, from openSuSE12.3 ;-) (yeah I don't change very often) this has worked fine. But now I cannot get a vncviewer on an openSuSE13.2 or 13.1 to connect to this system running 42.1 The things I have noted that are of interest, was that openSuSE switched to using VNC software from TigerVNC and the problem appears to be either with the server trying to define the display to connect to or in gaining authorization to connect to the display. The x11vnc.log shows the following ominous messages - 23/01/2016 17:40:33 x11vnc version: 0.9.13 lastmod: 2011-08-10 pid: 11698 23/01/2016 17:40:33 23/01/2016 17:40:33 wait_for_client: WAIT:cmd=FINDDISPLAY 23/01/2016 17:40:33 23/01/2016 17:40:33 initialize_screen: fb_depth/fb_bpp/fb_Bpl 24/32/2560 23/01/2016 17:40:33 23/01/2016 17:40:33 initialize_screen: -inetd mode: F_GETFL(stdin): 0x2 23/01/2016 17:40:33 initialize_screen: -inetd mode: F_GETFL(stdout): 0x2 23/01/2016 17:40:33 initialize_screen: -inetd mode and stdio is O_RDWR 23/01/2016 17:40:33 other clients: 23/01/2016 17:40:33 incr accepted_client=1 for 192.168.10.10:60784 sock=3 23/01/2016 17:40:33 Client Protocol Version 3.8 23/01/2016 17:40:33 Protocol version sent 3.8, using 3.8 23/01/2016 17:40:33 wait_for_client: got client 23/01/20ddd16 17:40:33 client progressed=1 in 0/0 0.000001 s 23/01/2016 17:40:33 client useCopyRect: 192.168.10.10 0 23/01/2016 17:40:33 client_set_net: 192.168.10.10 0.0002 23/01/2016 17:40:33 wait_for_client: running: env X11VNC_SKIP_DISPLAY='' /bin/sh /tmp/x11vnc-find_display.A0fqoe 23/01/2016 17:40:34 wait_for_client: find display cmd failed. 23/01/2016 17:40:34 wait_for_client: bad reply ' A quick glance at the x11vnc code seems to indicate that the server was looking for a response starting with DISPLAY and failing to find it, it gives up and throws out the "find display cmd failed" message. Caveat, I only took a quick glance at the code which I found a copy of on the internet, so have not grokked it fully. Other observations, I did try manually starting the x11vnc server, without any extra parameters, x11vnc -display :0 and with these parameters - x11vnc -rfbauth /etc/vncpasswd -oa /var/log/x11vnc.log -find -rfbport 5900 then connected to it from a client using the TigerVNC viewer, which works fine i.e. vncviewer far-host:0 and this confirmed that at least the vncpasswd file was set up correctly and accepting my password. But I really want to run it as a daemon process so that it will always be available to people (on an internal network) who do not know how to use SSH connections. For grins, I tried setting the xinetd servers args for x11vnc to the following, also with no joy. server_args = -inetd -rfbauth /etc/vncpasswd -oa /var/log/x11vnc.log -auth guess -find -rfbport 5900 I was suspicious about setting the env parameter "-env FD_XDM=1" but removing it and substituting the "-auth guess" did not succeed either. Anyone else seeing problems with x11vnc or my method of running it as a server? Thanks in advance for any and all offers of help...

[opensuse] plasmashell in Leap 42.1
by Marc Chamberlin 24 Jan '16

24 Jan '16

Hi - I have just upgraded one of my systems to Leap 42.1 and am encountering a problem that is turning into a showstopper for us. Every few minutes, and in particular it seems after clicking on the launcher in the kicker bar at the bottom of the desktop, the system comes to a near halt for a few minutes and does not respond to a lot of mouse or keyboard input actions. Any shell window that is open will be responsive but much of the GUI stops responding. I have discovered that when this happens, top reports that the plasmashell process is using 100% of the cpu. Google has not provided me with a solution that I can understand, so in layman's terms can some kind guru tell me how to fix this issue? I will gladly provide any additional info needed, and thanks in advance for your help.

[opensuse] Folderview - rename file on view issue
by ianseeks 23 Jan '16

23 Jan '16

Hi I've got a folderview of Documents on my desktop. I right clicked on one write document to rename it. it presented the highlighted file name to me and when i clicked in the input box to change the name, it launched the associated application Writer instead. I closed Writer and the rename function was now ready to used as per normal. Do i log this against Plasma in kde.bugs or do i try and find the folderview widget author (there's no mention of an author in the settings for folderview) regards Ian -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] checking on a sending mail problem with Thunderbird
by Carlos E. R. 22 Jan '16

22 Jan '16

Hi, Sometimes when I try to reply or send an email to this list with Thunderbird, I get a response of temporary server problem, I understand meaning at my ISP, telefonica.net. A copy of the email appears at the "Sent" folder, but it was never sent and never arrives. I wonder why Thunderbird, which reports an error, behaves as if it was sent. It should abort and ask to retry or not. What I do as a bypass is copy the email on the sent folder to the draft folder of another account (gmail), edit and send. All this happens both in Linux (Os.Leap) and Windows 10 - I'm now trying in Windows: so it may be a Thunderbird problem. What I haven't tested yet is sending on another system via postfix, and see what error I'm get from the ISP, if any. -- Saludos/Cheers, Carlos E.R.
