[opensuse] kvm vs. xen vs. virtualbox
by George from the tribe 29 Nov '16

29 Nov '16

Thoughts anyone? I run virtualbox, the version I get from oracle instead of the repos. I run 3 different machines on it - windows 10, windows 7, and xp. The only thing I don't like is that the vdi file tends to get big, which is fine for my desktop, but doesn't work for my laptop. On my laptop, then the machine becomes pretty slow. I would be interested in knowing what people think about the others, if they are easier to use, less cumbersome, and if it takes a big learning curve to get it to set up. -- 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

[opensuse] Firefox wrongly says server not found
by Carlos E. R. 29 Nov '16

29 Nov '16

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, One of my local machines responds on "http://moria.valinor", but when I try to browse to it (there is a local dns) it instead goes to "http://www.moria.valinor", which of course does not exist. The cause is that momentarily "http://moria.valinor" has the web daemon down, so that automatically Firefox tries to outhink me and tries prefixing with www. How can I stop FF from being that "clever" and stick to what I type? Currently I powered off that moria.valinor machine, and FF does the right thing and says "unable to connect". - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.

[opensuse] batch processing on gwenview?
by George from the tribe 28 Nov '16

28 Nov '16

So, is there no more batch processing of picture files in gwenview in the new gwenview that comes with 42.2? This was one of the key features that made the program useful. When I would create my newsletters, I would batch process all of the picture files I needed to a smaller size before adding them to the newsletter. -- George Box: 42.2 | KDE Plasma 5.8 | AMD Phenom IIX4 | 64 | 32GB Laptop #1: 42.2 | KDE Plasma 5.8 | Core i7-4710HQ | 64 | 16GB Laptop #2: 42.2 | KDE Plasma 5.8 | Core i5 | 64 | 8GB -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] root full
by Paul Groves 28 Nov '16

28 Nov '16

Hi, I have a server on opensuse 42.1 and my root partition keeps getting full. The first time I just deleted everything in /tmp /var/log and also all the snapper snapshots which cleared it up (11% use), but this time I am still 55% full! My set up is 2 128GB ssds in a raid mirror there is a logical volume group here vg0 then there is a 24GiB lv for swap, 20GiB lv for / and 67.77GiB for /home I notice the recommended / partition on 42.1 is 40gb not 20 like previous opensuse versions, but this was an upgrade from 13.1 through 13.2 then 42.1 so was always the same. I said to myself "I know! I could just use yast partitoner to shrink the logical volume for home by 20GiB then expand / by 20 to make it 40GiB" but NO! Yast cannot alter the size of BtrFS (root) or XFS (home) filesystems even though they are the default configuration! argh! I thought it was too simple (always a catch)! Does anyone know a way around this before my server refuses to boot again due to 99% full / ? Help would be much appreciated.

[opensuse] installation report, leap422 on lenovo b70-80
by Per Jessen 27 Nov '16

27 Nov '16

We're looking at upgrading some laptops in the office, and as Toshiba appears to have stopped making laptops, we're looking for a new make. Lenovo's consumer range seems to be good value for money and we don't really need the sturdy/pricey Lenovo Thinkpads. Lenovo B70-80 - after clearing out the Windows stuff and fiddling with the BIOS, the installation over pxe+ssh+http went without a hitch. afaict, all hardware is supported, sound, wifi, all in all it looks good. However - to hit a function key (f1,f2,f3,f4...), you need to press "Fn" and the function key .... closing a window with alt-f4 now becomes a three-key job, switching to a console means pressing four keys .... I think the machine might be going back. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (9.5°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] KDE: konsole always starts with mc midnight commander ever since I started mc from the kde start menu
by cagsm 26 Nov '16

26 Nov '16

What happen? I am a noob kde wise and for desktop usage. I just started mc midnight commander from inside an empty konsole as a normal user on a kde desktop. Then eventually exited it via f10 keypress. Whole konsole vanished. I try to fire up a new konsole from kde start menu, be it by entering konsole in the search area or by navigaing recently used apps and such stuff. I never get a normal konsole any more but always populated with a midnight commander inside. What the heck? I hate graphical desktops ;( Thanks for helping. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] lenovo b70-80, leap422, intel wireless 3160 not working
by Per Jessen 26 Nov '16

26 Nov '16

continuation of my installation report, specific to the wifi interface not working. The Intel Wireless 3160 device seems to be correctly recognised, firmware is loaded etc. Still, the network does not come up, ifup just reports "device-not-running". I thought perhaps it was a firmware issue and updated to the latest from Kernel:stable, made no difference. I have not had to deal with this sort of thing in a while, I'm not sure where to begin. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (11.2°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free dynamic DNS, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] zypper dup from 42.1 to 42.2 pulls Mesa on headless VM
by Thomas Wagner 25 Nov '16

25 Nov '16

Hi, I have a headless virtual machine (just apache running and i connect via ssh) with Leap 42.1. Thus no Mesa or X installed. This maschine I wanted to upgrade to Leap 42.2. So, I replaced the 42.1 repos with the repos for 42.2. However, a "zypper dup --no-recommends" tries to pull Mesa with quite some other graphic related libX* and libdrm* packages. I dug around a bit and IMHO python-gobject has now a dependency on all the graphic stuff. On the other hand snapper-zypp-plugin needs python-gobject. Now my question: How to upgrade from 42.1 to 42.2 without installing Mesa but keep snapper?
