[opensuse] best ebook reader and sync opinons?
by George from the tribe 08 Oct '16

08 Oct '16

I use Calibre on my desktop and 2 laptops. In order to keep them synchronized, I use a manual ssh script that I wrote. For my phone (almost a tablet), I use the kindle reader app, so I don't share the books between the pc and the phone. The phone is for the kindle books, and the pc is for the calibre books. I am wondering what experiences anyone out there might have with using calibre on the pc and keeping the books, bookmarks, pages, and settings synchronized with a book reader on android? I have used both Aldiko and Moonreader in the past on an earlier phone, but I had to manually import all the books, and couldn't keep anything synchronized. -- George Box: 42.1 | KDE Plasma 5 | AMD Phenom IIX4 | 64 | 32GB Laptop #1: 42.1 | Plasma 5.4.7, Qt 5.7.0 | Core i7-4710HQ | 64 | 16GB Laptop #2: 42.1 | KDE Plasma 5 | Core i5 | 64 | 8GB -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

Hi Geekos, I'll keep this brief as this is OT for this list, please forgive the interruption. I'm gathering info on how openSUSE could improve things for Developers That might include you, if you're contributing to openSUSE or using openSUSE for other development work. If that's relevant to you, please fill out this brief survey (9 questions, 7 mandatory) to help me get a good picture of how things are and could be https://goo.gl/forms/NCEhXqpTbsSEN6uE2 Please spread it around as far as possible - including to developers who do NOT use openSUSE yet, so we can figure out what they want and maybe do it to help convert them ;) Regards, Richard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Upgrade from grub1 to grub2 question
by Carlos E. R. 06 Oct '16

06 Oct '16

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I expect to upgrade soon my 13.1 machine to Leap 42.1. One detail I worry about is grub: it currently has grub1, which YaST no longer support. What will happen, what should I do? Should I upgrade my current 13.1 machine to use grub2 in advance as a precaution? Does YaST handle this? - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.

Tumbleweed has a newer libzypp, the older ones will not get it. (13.2 has 3 months lifetime left, not sure about 13.1) Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

In the zypp.conf file, and overwritten in the repository configs. According to the changelog it was added in libzypp 15.2.0 - zypp.conf: Add config values for gpgcheck, repo_gpgcheck and pkg_gpgcheck. The default behavior 'gpgcheck=On' will automatically turn on the gpg signature check for packages downloaded from repository with unsigned metadata. If the repo metadata are signed, a faster comparison via checksums is done. By explicitly setting repo_gpgcheck or pkg_gpgcheck you can enforce the signature check of repository metadata or downloaded packages to be always performed. Those defaults can be overwritten per repository. (FATE#314603) - version 15.2.0 (2) So appeared with openSUSE Leap 42.1.

[opensuse] why wasn't this service restarted?
by Per Jessen 06 Oct '16

I guess I need another pair of eyes. For some reason this vpn setup will occasionally fail to start. I have not had time to debug it, so just to make sure it is restarted, I added/etc/systemd/system/openvpn(a)hamburg.service.d/restart.conf # systemctl cat openvpn@hamburg # /usr/lib/systemd/system/openvpn@.service [Unit] Description=OpenVPN tunneling daemon instance using /etc/openvpn/%I.conf After=network.target PartOf=openvpn.target [Service] Type=forking PrivateTmp=true PIDFile=/var/run/openvpn/%i.pid ExecStart=/usr/sbin/openvpn --daemon --suppress-timestamps --writepid /var/run/openvpn/%i.pid --cd /etc/openvpn/ --config %i.conf ExecReload=/sbin/killproc -p /var/run/openvpn/%i.pid -HUP /usr/sbin/openvpn [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target openvpn.target # /etc/systemd/system/openvpn(a)hamburg.service.d/restart.conf ExecStartPost=/bin/bash -c "/usr/bin/mail -s \"$HOSTNAME: %n was restarted\" per(a)jessen.ch </dev/null" Restart=always RestartSec=15 In the log, all I see is: systemd[1]: Unit openvpn(a)hamburg.service entered failed state. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (11.2°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - virtual servers, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] X11 failure after reboot!
by Marc Chamberlin 05 Oct '16

05 Oct '16

Oh boy, I just hit a new problem on one of my systems after rebooting it. Wonder if perhaps an update broke things? Running Leap42.1 on an x64 system. System boots up fine, with all services running, just not the entire display and this is odd. I do get a rather large X cursor that is responding to the mouse. One of the services I am running on this system is Teamviewer and it's graphical dialog boxes, which normally show up when the desktop comes up, do show up in the display. But nothing else is showing up, no background, no shell windows, no kicker bar, nada - nothing else. I did try to use Teamviewer ;-) to see if the desktop would display remotely, nope. I have never been able to get VNC services working under Leap42.1 so can't go that route. I can SSH into the system from another computer and everything else seems fine. So this leads me to believe something has gone haywire with X11. Grepping through the Xorg log files doesn't show me anything obvious or what I can understand - bigbang:/var/log # cat Xorg.0.log | grep "(WW)" (WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown. [ 42.644] (WW) The directory "/usr/share/fonts/misc/sgi" does not exist. [ 45.030] (WW) Unresolved symbol: fbGetGCPrivateKey [ 45.053] (WW) Falling back to old probe method for modesetting [ 45.053] (WW) Falling back to old probe method for fbdev [ 45.075] (WW) Falling back to old probe method for vesa [ 48.847] (WW) evdev: Logitech K800: ignoring absolute axes. bigbang:/var/log # cat Xorg.0.log | grep "(EE)" (WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown. [ 45.075] (EE) open /dev/fb0: No such file or directory Finally, I also tried rebooting to an older version of SuSE, openSuSE12.3 which did come up just fine. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

[opensuse] Bash History
by Chris 05 Oct '16

05 Oct '16

All, OpenSuSE 12.2: history | less showed some commands tonight, which I haven't entered, at least not at this time. Maybe some time ago. There's no cron job that could have executed them and I have found no script-recording that I've accidentally called. Some files were displayed with less. A script would rather not do that. When I logged out and in again, those commands were missing in history | less. last shows only my login and my IP. Couldn't find any clue in /var/log/messages. Furthermore, there was a gap. Those strange recent commands and commands from several months ago. Last months were missing. Is there any feasible explanation for this behavior? Was this box cracked? Thank you in advance. - Chris -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
