[opensuse] huge number of gs_* files in /tmp
by Anton Aylward 17 Nov '16

17 Nov '16

Last week I tried creating a postscript file from a .PNG file that I had open with Gwenview. For some reason it didn't work out, it hung and dragged the machine down and I couldn't kill it and had to reboot. Since then, as I reboot the machine each morning, I find that after a few minutes /tmp fills us with a few THOUSAND GS_* files. Most are empty, a few are a round 10K or so. This paralyses other activities. They are owned by 'anton' -- of course. I can't figure out what is causing this. I've delayed starting KDE, and that delays the creation and I've checks, so it isn't a CRON job. I've gone in via systemsettings and I can't see a startup job that would account for this; I only have a dropbox start and a video setting. I run a 'ps' and I can't see what might be responsible. Any suggestions as to where I should look to see what's responsible for this? -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Bad shasum checksum file on Leap 42.2 download
by James Knott 16 Nov '16

16 Nov '16

I downloaded the Leap 42.2 ISO file and the sha256 checksum file. However, I cannot reconcile the ISO sha256 checksum with the downloaded checksum. When I run sha256sum against the ISO, I get a 64 hex character string: ba5af6b0ac4d42d801de642304eb88ca9fd65a61b6c3ff25724182494f288f00 But the downloaded sha256 checksum runs a few lines: iQEVAwUBWCtAMriLL9Q9vcKEAQjAigf/fevxxGdcYLXfmzUS8JOt+1RCqkSH fOzIgzaZxW5sj9ptu2tUFmSnO9mpoZSM80P5j8hjjQ0gDCEGJiHqxy0PCU1EExzx oH9ezKfmeabpsA0mG2yTeev2VhEkwxiP09Izti3L9h2s44Ovi4cgZStoEDmvBTaT mLNlHAtu78TQ0yn611spHeApVR/9uLI9QsM2HhEpmZC5SDzNU2OOTU5RHa+0Ftbi ++MSp8cr8pfWcAoXCRBTPQZYKd//XBQhpZqOzH3vD56pbhvdOVBAG+9YU/gtGyg8 UMe247ABpU+SpkoGoM+cRILHHqw/Sb3CVL8DHvDXco+M3vctOYK00VlHhg== =9h3c This is clearly not correct. Why is the sha256sum checksum file wrong? Shouldn't it be 256 bits or 64 hex characters, as I get when I run sha256sum on the ISO? I even tried downloading the checksum file again, but get the same result. Also, shouldn't that file contain the name of the ISO? tnx jk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Nvidia repos seem broken
by stakanov＠freenet.de 16 Nov '16

16 Nov '16

Is there a contact person for Nvidia to inform about the opensuse nvidia repos being currently broken or is this a question of faith? Currently the content of the repo is broken and this "could" be due to the 42.2 update being reorganized badly. Therefore the question. Thank you. --- Die Bundesliga hat begonnen!

Therefore the question. >> Thank you. > > perhaps you might explain "broken" and version ??? Hi Patrick and thank you for the reply. First of all apologies. The machine is a 42.1 and I prepared to update to 42.2. To be able to do so it should be up to date. So it was the repo of Nvidia for 42.1 that had problems. I did express myself so badly that nobody could ever have understood. Happens. As the machine was not booted for some weeks, it comes out that for some reasons the nvidia repos changed something (so you get unreadable file in repodata (and an alphanumeric code). After deactivating the nvidia repo (that had also a wrong signature -apparently due to a date validity and renewal) I received to my surprise a single software stack update from opensuse-updates. I think this update (as I missed it since the machine was offline so long) did renew the correct signature or did fix some issue with the nvidia repodata. I did then erase the nvidia repo and paste the url one more time. This time the repo was accepted and duly refreshed. I was also possible to give trust to the signature without being rejected. Once done this, the update did run through. I should have been accurate and describe the error message and the version. My fault. I will try to update when extra and education repos are online (and packman of course). This because it will be much less work. Is there any date when education will be online? Or this time all repos are there right away? I did not find education nor extra for 42.2 looking within the directories. --- Die Bundesliga hat begonnen!

[opensuse] Seamonkey in Leap 42.2 working, yes or no?
by Darryl Gregorash 16 Nov '16

16 Nov '16

According to the release notes for 42.2 https://doc.opensuse.org/release-notes/x86_64/openSUSE/Leap/42.2/, Seamonkey no longer compiles, and thus should be replaced with Tbird/Firefox. However, Seamonkey 2.40 (the latest release) is included in the repository http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/leap/42.2/repo/oss/suse/x86_64/ So I'm curious to know the correct answer @$SUBJ, or to have someone clarify the situation. I will upgrade to 42.2 if the answer is "yes", but I really don't want/need to be running 2 Gecko engines, and the task of switching to some other browser/email client combination is so unpalatable that I really wouldn't want to do the upgrade at all.

[opensuse] inactive rsync clients clogging up rsyncd
by Per Jessen 15 Nov '16

15 Nov '16

I have an rsyncd service for mirroring sanesecurity data. Generally it works very well, but occasionally the rsyncd server will get hung up with many rsyncd processes just waiting on (apparently) inactive clients. This can go on for minutes, possibly hours. I'm running rsyncd via xinetd. The 'timeout' parameter for rsyncd.conf doesn't seem to take effect. I have now taken to automatically killing any rsyncd process running for more than 90seconds, which has improved things tremendously. Also, rsyncd seems to ignore my "hosts deny" setting - I tried refusing access to a couple of the most frequently hanging clients, but afaict, rsyncd just ignores "hosts deny". I'm happy to post complete configs, but before I clog up the list with that, somebody might recognise the scenario above? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (4.4°C) http://www.cloudsuisse.com/ - your owncloud, hosted in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] leap421 - what do I need to install to get office thumbnails in KDE?
by Per Jessen 15 Nov '16

Back testing my leap421 desktop - what do I need to get - dolphin thumbnails for office documents - dolphin tooltips with document? (author, title etc) I know I can open the information pane, but it's annoying having to shift my eyes from left to right to review the information, usually also loosing sight of where I was. thanks Per -- Posted with knode 4.14 from openSUSE Leap42.1 office34: Cyrix 486DX2/66MHz, 4096Mb RAM, #9 GXE -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] any way of keeping a fixed duid.xml ?
by Per Jessen 15 Nov '16

15 Nov '16

As far as I can tell, duid.xml (/var/lib/wicked/duid.xml) is generated during installation, but at least partially based on an interface MAC address: 00:01:00:01:1f:b8:72:38:00:19:99:4e:1e:98 When testing and re-installing somewhat frequently, it is most annoying to have the duid change all the time. I have to either amend dhcp6.conf or edit the duid directly once the system is installed. Is there a way (kernel argument perhaps?) to stop the duid changing? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (4.6°C) http://www.cloudsuisse.com/ - your owncloud, hosted in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
