[opensuse] setting up a server with raid
by jdd 30 Dec '16

30 Dec '16

Hello, (I'm pretty new to raid, read the raid wiki but not sure to understand...) finally, after some tests, I try the following config: * one partition on each (three) disks, raw around 1Tb * Raid 1 on the three partitions * lvm with one group in the 1Tb raid * three partitions in lvm: swap (2Gb), root (50Gb) and /data (the rest) from what I read grub should boot - at least yast install didn't complain and is installing now. I did this to have only one raid array for all the three partitions. I let aside gpt, because I don't have uefi on this computer and don't want to trick grub to boot gpt I know there is a special raid setup to boot, and hope yast takes care of that + last minute :-( problem It's the first time I use lvm. Yast obliged me to create a lvm group before the partitions and now it can't create it for "error -4017" may be it's only a warning, because I could clic on "continue" and the install is running I will see if it boots... thanks jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Why is Firefox so bad in 42.2?
by James Knott 30 Dec '16

30 Dec '16

While it's never been a blazing performer, Firefox in Leap 42.2 is *REALLY* bad. It often takes far too long to load pages, compared to Chromium or Seamonkey. In fact, it's so bad I get very poor performance on speedtest.net, if it even runs at all. I just tried on the Xfinity speedtest site and got these results on Chromium: http://results.speedtest.xfinity.com/result/1457254644.png But the test didn't even run on Firefox. With the regular speedtest site & Chromium, I get: http://www.speedtest.net/result/5913287179 But with Firefox I get a message box "PAGE ERROR - Error fetching resource". Firefox is also visibly slower doing other things. Why is it now so much worse than before and other browsers? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Moved tbird settings to leap 42.2, now enigmail attempts to launch 'pinentry-curses' never displayed?
by David C. Rankin 29 Dec '16

29 Dec '16

All, I moved my thunderbird settings to my leap 42.2 install. Now when attempting to send a signed or encrypted e-mail, tbird launches 'pinentry-curses' in the background (which takes 100% CPU) but never shows the pin entry dialog. I end up having to cancel whatever I'm doing, and in some cases 'kill -9 pinentry-curses'. My question is "Does anybody know what setting to tweak to tell enigmail to use the correct pinentry dialog?" Or, is the best bet to dump enigmail and reinstall? -- David C.

[opensuse] backup android file system
by Istvan Gabor 29 Dec '16

29 Dec '16

Hello: Unfortunately I sent the message before finishing it. Here is the complete message. Is it possible to backup a whole android file system to an openSUSE linux computer? The net is full of sites explaining how to do android tablet or phone backup to PC but those mostly apply to backing up some of the data only. I would like to make a copy of the whole file system of a cell phone to my openSUSE computer. I would like: -backup/copy the whole file system -use cable connection (USB, service cable?) between android device and computer, not network or BlueTooth If this is not doable, what is closest possible solution? The device in question is a Samsung Galaxy Express GT-I8730 with Android 4.1.2.

[opensuse] real time monitoring
by jdd 29 Dec '16

29 Dec '16

Hello, Is there around a real time monitoring system for a small server? something that could send once in a while a mail with mdadm, and other diagnostic, of even give warning if some service fails? of course I could write a script myself, but others may already have done it :-) of course I know mrtg, but I mean some more basic, non interactive tool thanks jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Howto build matching 32-bit package on x86_64?
by David C. Rankin 29 Dec '16

29 Dec '16

Devs, I can easily build 64-bit packages from the leap sources via srpm install, (modify sources/spec), then 'rpmbuild -bb specfile.spec'. But howto (what) to specify as the --target to create the associated foo-32-bit.rpm? Or is there some different way altogether that needs to be used to create the 32-bit package? -- David C.

[opensuse] Why no 'still' (LibreOffice 5.1) packages available for 42.2
by David C. Rankin 29 Dec '16

29 Dec '16

Leap Devs, Why are there no 'still' (libreoffice 5.1) packages available for leap 42.2. There are a number of bugs in 5.2 concerning re-arrangement of the context menu that impacts document formatting. The stable 'still' packages are available for all versions though 42.1, but not 42.2. Are these going to be built? See: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/LibreOffice:/5.1 -- David C.

[opensuse] Leap 42.2 - Why NO Persistent Block Device Naming for 'resume' in /etc/default/grub??
by David C. Rankin 29 Dec '16

29 Dec '16

Leap Devs, Why is Persistent Block Device Naming not used for 'resume' in /etc/default/grub? Specifically, I ran into an issue when moving my leap42 drive to sdb in my laptop. On boot, there was a 'root switch', but then there was a 90 sec timeout looking for the 'resume' device (previously sda8, now sdb8). Checking, I find: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="resume=/dev/sda8 splash=silent quiet showopts" in /etc/default/grub. Why on earth are we not using UUIDs there (which is the grub2 default)? Had this been, GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="resume=3cadab5b-13b4-4dce-84d3-05e2070f741c ... (which it is now), there would have been no problem. Using the default persistent block device naming also eliminates the need for the antiquated 'device.map' file in /boot/grub2. Is there some specific reason the old naming convention is being used instead of UUIDs here? Grub2 will use UUIDs unless you explicitly tell it not to with 'GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID=true' in /etc/default/grub. -- David C.
