[opensuse] User seems to be logged on - yast user management
by ianseeks 18 Feb '16

18 Feb '16

Hi I decided to delete one of my old unused logins so i logged onto it first to make sure there was nothing i wanted to keep, logged out. logged in as root, fired up Yast/User management and selected teh user name and pressed delete. I got a message back from Yast to say that it appears the user is still logged on (which it obviously wasn't). Does this mean the log off process is not killing everything it should before presenting the login dialog? regards Ian I'm up to date with Tumbleweed and Plasma -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] leap 42.1: how to configure leave-shutdown "buttons" in task bar?
by Daniel Bauer 17 Feb '16

17 Feb '16

Hi, I just installed leap on an old hp laptop. I want to have this button in the task bar, where you click on a red button to shutdown the computer. No, when clicking on the button it offers to "leave", meaning to log out and then log in again. There appear three tiny buttons to the right (without info on hovering...) and one of them really shuts the computer down, but I want this to be the default. I have not found a setting to make "shutdown" the default action. How can I have that? Maybe another button I haven't found? (Background: it's a laptop for my mother (80+). She's used to turn off the computer with that tiny button. When it now just logs-out this is not explainable to her...) Thanks for hints.

Google Earth is IMO very badly maintained for Linux. If you install it it will draw in its own repo (you will have to trust them). The politics of stable is not very clear (with a mismatch of what they install and what is proposed by the repo). If you use any other standard desktop language then English my experience is that "flying in" to a place is not supported and you land in Saharan Africa all the time, even if you want to see Bulgaria. The program is statically linked to the library, was never ported over KDE3 and has still libraries linking to qt3. After the install of the rpm (which is a common rpm for Red Hat, Opensuse and other rpm based OS) after when doing the next update in yast you are going to be asked to trust the signature of the repo of Google Earth. So as it is NOSS, you will have to use their repo. If you want not satellite but nice maps, you can use the program marble. It works astonishingly well (especially in the case Google Earth does not work at all). At least for Nvidia cards I recall that for Google Earth you need NOSS driver from Nvidia (nouveau did not work for me at the time). YMMV. Hope that helped a bit. --- Mail & Cloud Made in Germany mit 3 GB Speicher! https://email.freenet.de/mail/Uebersicht?epid=e9900000450 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] leap 42.1, KDE desktop: how to place icons freely?

Sorry to come with such a maybe simple question, but I simply can't find the setting and google doesn't help me :-( How can I place icons freely on the KDE5-desktop (folder view), /without/ snapping to positions of a grid. If I move an icon it snaps back to a position that refers to some grid below, but I'd love to place them freely, even if it does not look that ordered as the programmers want to force me :-) Can you lead to the hidden setting? thanks!

In one sense this happens. The OS knows that the binary/executable files are r/o so their pages are marked as such in the virtual memory again queue. if they age-out they do not get written. IIR the virtual memory system doesn't have a "keep this aground" bit anyway, it just has the ageing queue. If a page gets re-used for any reason its put back to the start of the queue. Hmm. I think there might even be a separate queue for the pages that DO need writing. its more than a decade sing I drilled down on how this works. > Logically, if the file is r-o to the application, it shouldn't update it, > so there's no need to keep it in any write cache. The order is there. The issue is that (a) the application knows this, or rather the application designer knows this and (b) there is currently to mechanism for communicating it from the application to the OS even if (c) the application designer/coder bothered and (d) correctly implemented it. Bt then again, if the file is opened r/o, then I don't think its pages ever go on the write/flush queue. if I have time I'll check, but there are other demands on my time. Anyway, my point is that the OS has smarts and any caching system that tries to bypass theses smarts is Not A Good Thing(tm) -- 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] Anything special required with Multi-Processor Boards
by David C. Rankin 14 Feb '16

14 Feb '16

All, I think the answer is no, but since I haven't messed with one before, I thought I would ask. I ended up with an older supermicro server with 4 opteron 8360 processors. (all 90 lbs. of it) My intent was to install opensuse as a base and then vm-player or similar virtualization software to test how the various virtual hosts would behave on that platform. Are there any special considerations for the base install with multiple processors? -- or -- is it just an install as usual and let the kernel and hardware sort out which processor does what? I suspect opensuse won't care, but thought I would ask before I end up shooting myself in the foot. What say the experts? -- David C.

[opensuse] installing leap42 as a xen host
by Per Jessen 13 Feb '16

13 Feb '16

jdd, I though I'd write up what I do when I install a xen host, just in case you spot a difference. Apart from installing over pxe+ssh+http, it's pretty standard stuff : boot leap42 installation, from local copy of repo. ssh login start yast select additional repos (leap updates) partitioning - (10G for Dom0, 1Gb swap, the rest for LVM). dom0 root filesystem, either ext4 or jfs. minimum server selection. software selection: add kernel-xen, remove kernel-default, add xen, add xen-tools. That's all I do. Interestingly, I think I have just reproduced your situation - on a Fujitsu desktop machine, I left the installation to finish by itself at around 16:15. When I got back around 17, it was in some weird state, but responding. I think I hit enter a couple of times and then it looked like I had a working system, just very slow. I've just now rebooted it, and it's now also just blank screen. I'm going to wait it out and see what happens - next thing is to fiddle with the grub options and get some more output. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (4.8°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] missing invert colors effect in plasma 5

I have been searching for how to invert the colors on my desktop in kde/plasma 5 in my new Leap 42.1 system on my laptop. This would greatly improve the quality of using my computer at night. I found this link: https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=251&t=110152 The problem is, the invert effect does not exist in my desktop effects in system settings, and it is not one of the only 4 downloadable effects that are available. Does anybody else have this problem? In systems settings, I can type in "invert" in the search box, and it focuses on desktop behavior, where desktop effects are. However, in that group of settings, I cannot for the life of me find the invert effect. I also did a zypper search for "invert" and came up empty.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Sigh. I'm scanning old photographic negatives with a compact scanner (a reflecta X7), and writing comments on the photos with Gwenview.

Conversely, if I write the comments with shotwell (which is configured to write metadata to the photos, not to a database), I don't see them in gwenview (but they do with "exif", tag "User Comment") I hesitate to continue writing comments till I verify that they are in fact written to the photo files, and that other programs read them. I don't see any configuration option in Gwenview regarding this. (why Gwenview? Because rotating photos is fast here, and it doesn't do any library import. For the moment I only want to put each roll in its own directory. Writing comments is also easy, although they are easyer to see in Shotwell) I'm not doing photo edit for the moment. Just archiving.

[opensuse] Linux kernel real time status
by Roger Oberholtzer 12 Feb '16

12 Feb '16

I realize that this may be more of SUSE than an openSUSE question. But the relationship between the two is at the heart of the question. So I trust that I am on topic. Is there a good description of how SUSE and openSUSE implement (or don't) real time kernel extensions? There is a description here: https://www.suse.com/products/realtime/technical-information/ This is a feature of SUSE Linux that one must purchase (there is a 60 day free trial). Fair enough. The openSUSE kernel in Leap and forward is the same one as in SUSE. Right? Which kernel is the openSUSE kernel built from: SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop or SUSE Linux Enterprise Server? Or something else? Maybe this is not the right way to look at this? The extra SUSE RT extensions are only available via the SUSE product? That would make sense. Isn't it the case that many of the RT extensions have been made part of the mainline kernel and no longer need to be applied to the kernel as a patch? Would those RT extensions exist and be enabled in the standard kernel in SUSE and openSUSE? Maybe there is a feature comparison table somewhere that shows what one gets in openSUSE versus SUSE? I do not have a specific concern at this point about the SUSE kernel and real time. But I would like to track the status of this aspect of the kernel. -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] 13.2 vs Leap vs Tumbleweed
by Frans de Boer 10 Feb '16

10 Feb '16

Dear reader, When I initially tried Leap, the stability was a disaster. So, I went back to Tumbleweed. Which at the time was stable enough. However, from time to time I still have to go back to 13.2 because Tumbleweed is not always so stable. Leap is now around for some time, so I wonder if it is stable enough nowadays to be used instead of 13.2. The later is kind off showing his age. I know now that using Tumbleweed is participating in a lottery, but has OpenSUSE nothing newer to offer which is just as stable as 13.2 is?

[opensuse] Need distro advice. Problems installing Leap.
by Jim Sabatke 10 Feb '16

10 Feb '16

I've used SuSE for well over 20 years, going back to either 3.x or 4.x, I don't remember which. It's been a really long time. I'm amazed how the product has grown by leaps and bounds regularly, and I update my own computers fairly often, if not every release. I also keep some friends systems up to date, as well as manage hardware on their systems, mostly because they don't understand how to help themselves, and they've payed, quite literally, thousands of dollars a year to have professionals remove more malware than I would ever have imagined that a system could acquire so quickly. Since installing Linux, the malware problems have gone away. The problem now is that I need to update some older systems. Because I don't charge for the help, I really don't want to spend hours upon hours trying to figure out what's going wrong with failed installs. Leap has presented me with numerous challenges, first at home, where I had to put the /home directory on on of the first two disks or the system refused to boot. It took me many days, and a LOT of hours to figure that out, but now it works fine. So, armed with that understanding, I took an install disk to a friends' house and installed Leap, creating the two directories on the only disk. After a lengthy load, the install hangs again after the reboot. I don't have s lot of time to figure this out, so I have a couple questions: Does Leap have known problems getting a working system up and running, especially apparently not being able to find the system after reboot? I've seen some of the Leap install problems posts here, but none seemed like my problems. Is there a more reliable, recent distro that I would be better advised to use?

[opensuse] Leap42: can't override dracut's initrd ?
by Per Jessen 10 Feb '16

10 Feb '16

I need an extra pair of eyes please - I have Leap42 system with root on NFS. This uses nfsv4 and works fine, but for some debugging I wanted to switch back to v3. I amended the PXE config, adding 'v3' to rootflags: rootflags=hard,intr,v3 Rebooted the system and /proc/cmdline looks good: # cat /proc/cmdline initrd=stork2/initrd.new2 root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=nfsroot.example.com:/srv/nfs/stork2/root rootflags=hard,intr,v3 elevator=deadline rd.shell However, mount -v shows something else: # mount -v 10.42.8.254:/srv/nfs/stork2/root on / type nfs4 (rw,relatime,vers=4.0,rsize=131072,wsize=131072,namlen=255,hard,proto=tcp,port=0,timeo=600,retrans=2,sec=sys,......) It would appear that the dracut initrd ignores my cmdline settings? Or more likely, I'm doing something wrong. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (9.4°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] Upgrade to 42.1 from 13.1?
by Thomas Taylor 09 Feb '16

09 Feb '16

I have run into a problem upgrading a multi-boot system. I currently have OS 13.1, Fedora 18, and windows 7 on my system. I'm using legacy grub as boot manager. It is installed in a partition on an SSD along with the windows 7 system. When I attempt to install OS 42.1 (leap) onto this system I receive messages that the /boot/efi needs to be formatted FAT. After adding another partition (FAT) with mount point of /boot/efi I then get a message that it requires GPT partition table but windows 7 won't boot with that. Is there a way to install 42.1 in a FAT type table? I read the "Unofficial Guide to openSUSE Leap 42.1" but didn't see anything pertinent there. Where could I look for more information?

[opensuse] Plymouth Boot Splash Disappeared on Tumbleweed
by sdm 09 Feb '16

09 Feb '16

Hi, I was doing some testing on a machine with a fresh install of Tumbleweed snapshot 20160205, and noticed the Plymouth boot splash screen wasn't coming up. Between the GRUB2 phase and sddm phase during most all test boots, all I got was a black screen . What was strange is that during one boot I got the green Leap splash screen (yet this is definitely not Leap), and another time I actually did get the turquoise Tumbleweed boot splash screen and was able to press ESC and see boot messages. That seemed to be a fluke, though, as now with every boot all I get is a black screen and pressing ESC or any other key does absolutely nothing, nor trying to switch TTY's during the boot process. The monitor doesn't go to sleep, but just displays pure black. On this same exact machine with a fresh Leap install everything is fine, and prior Tumbleweed snapshots didn't do this. If I change GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="splash=silent quiet showopts" (which is the default) to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=0 then I see all boot messages. So it seems as though something is broken with plymouth. In this snapshot. Is anyone else having this issue?

[opensuse] widget size in plasma 5
by tech＠reachthetribes.org 07 Feb '16

07 Feb '16

I have noticed in the new plasma 5 that you cannot adjust the size of widgets. Is this just my imagination? I don't use a lot of widgets, but the ones I used in KDE 4.7, I remember being able to adjust the size. Also, when hovering over a widget with a mouse in 4.7, there was a bar that would appear which had a configuration button, a move button, and sizing handles. I guess they have deleted that functionality in plasma 5? Is there a way to click and drag on widgets in order to modify their physical size in plasma 5? -- George Box #1: 42.1 | KDE Plasma 5 | AMD Phenom IIX4 | 64 | 32GB Box #2: 13.1 | KDE 4.7.12 | AMD Athlon X3 | 64 | 4GB Laptop #1: 13.1 | KDE 4.7.12 | Core i7-2620M | 64 | 8GB Laptop #2: 42.1 | KDE Plasma 5 | Core i7-4710HQ | 64 | 16GB -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] TCP wrappers and SuSEfirewall2
by Roger Price 07 Feb '16

07 Feb '16

Along with many others, I discovered that TCP wrappers were no longer available for ssh in 13.2. The advice given a year ago [1] that "TCP wrappers were a hack and needed back when you didn't have firewalls. Now you do and iptables does a lot more, better and faster" seemed to me to be glib and superficial, since iptables are no easier to hack than sendmail, and opensuse does not support use of the SuSEfirewall2 hooks. The user is on his or her own in a difficult area. I looked at the feasibility of an automatic translation of the TCP wrappers configuration file hosts.allow to a SuSEfirewall2 extension. I now have the Bash script working for my own use. It translates the hosts.allow client_list to an ipset collection, and generates a hook function fw_custom_after_chain_creation which adds the "hosts.allow" configuration to the SuSEfirewall2 set-up script. Since the Bash script does not require TCP wrappers, it may be used for any service, e.g. http, rsync, openvpn. My hosts.allow configuration file contains two short rules covering 4 services. The Bash script takes 3 min 24 sec, processing 9746 ipset hash:net elements at 2866/min on a Dell Precision 690. The function fw_custom_after_chain_creation contains only 4 iptables statements in filter:INPUT for the filtering, with an additional three for logging.

Hi Anton, Interesting re: problems with Leap. I can comment however regarding one week's success. So FYI, the following has happened: 1. Stable (one week) Leap 42.1 install on Vultr VPS (1 GB) via SSH with VNC access. 2. Running self-configured (Bitnami has a problem with OpenSuse) LAMP according to X2CRM specifications, and then on top of that X2CRM (PHP). It works! I'm so happy. And only (one or two tabs in Chrome - Midori doesn't seem necessary in terms of not-bloated browsers) uses about 600 MB RAM. 3. And the bonus -- GnuCash seems to work out-of-the-box, and hardly adds any RAM. Haven't really tried it though. So, for $ USD 10 per month, this seems to be the target. This means I get to turn off my slightly more expensive per month Canadian accounting online package (Kashoo). And I get to enjoy X2CRM. Lots of work to do to make a really robust system. Such as backups. I have also a running copy of the setup on a VirtualBox running on my spare Optiplex. Also need to do CRM mobile access. And make sure the security is good. So, so far, so good!

I've been running Leap 42.1 for just a week (switched because of 13.2's recently-introduced bug 960258 for which I couldn't wait for a solution) and I've already come across stuff like bug 965240 in Leap. The simple solution is a file from the unofficial OBS devel:languages:perl as the version shipped in Leap hasn't worked with its intended target since 2014-Feb. The "official update" version in 13.2 worked fine too, but it was downgraded to the dead one during the 13.2->42.1 "upgrade". https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=965240 Very minor bug, yes, but a distribution can't be said to "work perfectly" if standard user applications (GnuCash) don't run on it out of the box. Don't get me wrong, I really *like* Leap so far (especially since it solved my LUKS problem in 13.2, thank you very much) but there are things that an ordinary user MUST go outside the official repositories for. Real life can't wait for an official patch to be released. So anyone who does actual ordinary useful stuff on Leap must of necessity be "un-pure".

[opensuse] No Easter this year for Thunderbird users?
by gumb 07 Feb '16

07 Feb '16

For years I've had the English Holidays and French Holidays .ics calendar files installed in Thunderbird (or Lightning, previously). I noticed recently when trying to look up the dates for Easter that I only have the French 'lundi de Pâques' entry on the 28th March, and neither Good Friday nor Easter Sunday / Bank Holiday Monday for England. I tried synchronising the calendar, though it should do that automatically anyway at regular intervals; no change. I installed the UK holidays from this page: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/projects/calendar/holidays/ Again, there is no Easter this year. The bank holiday at the end of May is also missing, yet other dates appear later in the year. Can anybody else confirm this? I suppose the maintainer just hasn't updated it in a while, but there could be something funny going on at my end. gumb -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

So I tried it. I expected to throw it down and rant but I was rather surprised. Installation time was 2 month and a half after release. I am using KDE PIM 4. Overall use is limited, as it is a laptop. Surf, write gpg encrypted emails using a cryptodevice (usb) and office (strongly formatted documents). I also surf, watch some movie, use solitaire (yes I am quite dependent) of that. I am using then some program from "extra", amarok. I was quite pleased over all, office with Libreoffice 5 in my use case I find it lightning fast and well done, stable, way better than 4. I find that KDE PIM although "crossed over" from KDE4 to Plasma 5 works well. The change of sessions works well. The "pains in the a..." are: sddm does not correctly shut down and shows "ghost sessions" all over. - but sddm is not plasma. Networkmanager applet got better but is still not perfect. there are some hickups with oriental fonts and with the orthographic corrector when using FF (as I did write here). I have on one machine a serious problem to print and since Kernel 4 I cannot use the keyboard of my ultrabase if not previously changing and giving the password with the laptop-keyboard. And I miss the KIM menue item to compress pdfs and so on. Do not know why it doesn't work, but I miss it. Tumbleweed: does a great job in seeing what is going to come. And what is going to come is IMO pleasant. It seems faster than Leap on the same hardware but has hick-ups from time to time especially because of graphic driver issues. So I use it for the "fun part". For watching streaming, for playing, for the ludicrous part. The update process via applet in Tumbleweed I find it greatly improved now. I cannot share so much of the blame on Leap not being for work, as, mainly, I feel it is O.K. for most of common use cases. That 13.2 was a great edition right. The friend I assist still have it. But it was also not without error. An error was not to continue to maintain KDE4. Besides, KDE in the 13.2 version was all end of development. To have a comparison one would have to compare 4.7. Now that was....less stable? Should I say this? (Do you remember the but in KDE PIM where everybody, even the restaurants appeared to have suddenly a birthday and all on the same day? 30 contacts with the same birthday? wow. And the problem of using gpg cryptographic keys. And the NW problems and the VPN ones. Stability comes from time and investment of people who care. So, I do not know. Leap could be O.K. for you. All depends on your use case P.S. Crashes.......some time went by that I did not experience any. So at least with inteldriver on a notebook, seems stable. YMMV --- Alle Postfächer an einem Ort.

[opensuse] Please help with what is next step on bug report ?
by don fisher 06 Feb '16

06 Feb '16

I filed bug 949796 on bugzilla. When I check the status it claims it is resolved and a duplication of bug 949796. That bug is listed as "in_progress". But that bug was reported October of 2015, three months ago. How long does it take to get make the system bootable? I would think this would be a high priority problem, and don't understand the delay. There appears to be no workaround, so what should I do? I have tried experimenting with some different options to grub, but without digging into the details I cannot determine what changed between 13.2 and 42.1. I have written numerous emails to Josef Reidinger, but I assume he is really saturated. The one response I received from Josef was "to change the default mount method in partitioner to something else like UUID or label". But I do not know how to do this on a system that I am trying to upgrade, where you do not get to play with the partitioner. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

[opensuse] Trying to understand booting GPT disk with BIOS (not UEFI) situation
by Carlos E. R. 06 Feb '16

06 Feb '16

Hi, I did a virtual install under vmplayer, but on real hard disk of 1.8 TiB (2 TB). It has to run as root to have access to the disk. The "bios" screen seems to be bios type, I do not see entries that would hint at uefi. The relevant settings in the vmx file are, I think, these: #!/usr/local/bin/vmware .encoding = "UTF-8" config.version = "8" virtualHW.version = "12" According to <http://www.serverwatch.com/server-tutorials/enabling-uefi-on-virtual-machin…>, to set the bios type to uefi, we need to add this entry: firmware = "efi" and it is not there, so it is BIOS. The disk I partitioned externally with gparted from scratch, creating first a pure GPT table with some partitions. Then I booted Leap 42.1 install media on vmlayer to install it, using full disk device. And it boots, but I don't understand how. O:-) This is the partition table: linux-leap421-r:~ # fdisk -l /dev/sda Disk /dev/sda: 1.8 TiB, 2000398934016 bytes, 3907029168 sectors Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disklabel type: gpt Disk identifier: 4C81D390-4C41-....

Notice that there is no partition marked as boot, and that there is a "BIOS boot" partition, very small. The MBR has this: => Syslinux GPTMBR (4.04-5.01) is installed in the MBR of /dev/sda. sda2 is ext4, contains the root of the system, and grub2 is installed on its boot sector, which looks for core.img at a certain sector. That's normal. sda4: File system: BIOS Boot partition Boot sector type: - Boot sector info: Not much info about it. Another view of the partition table: Disk /dev/sda: 1.8 TiB, 2000398934016 bytes, 3907029168 sectors Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Partition Boot Start Sector End Sector # of Sectors Id System /dev/sda1 1 3,907,029,167 3,907,029,167 ee GPT GUID Partition Table detected.

Obviously it has to read the MBR, and this boots sda2. How does it know it has to boot this partition? There is no boot mark, so either it is hardcoded, or the information is in sda4, the "BIOS Boot partition". What is its role? I have not been able to mount sda4, its filesystem is not recognized. What controls it? Probably it is done by "Syslinux GPTMBR", but that's just a guess. I assume that there is not enough space in the MBR, less than 512 bytes, to control booting of a GPT disk (in bios mode), so what it does is boot another partition by location on disk (sector addressing), the "BIOS Boot partition". This method of booting is unknown to me, but I'm interested because it allows me to upgrade the hard disks of my classic BIOS machines to bigger hard disks. And of course, with GPT disks I can install as many operating systems I want to boot without "tricks", so it is nice. But I'd like to know more about it.

[opensuse] Mysterious behavior VMWare installer

(don't ask) according to the recipe in http://blog.sukimashita.com/2015/02/21/opensuse-32-bit-to-64-bit-update-fai… Much to my surprise everything went smoothly apart from the fact that I had to remove a couple of old i586 kernels lying around. However, on trying to run the VMware installer the following happened: vankan@linux-bew6:~> ARCH=x86_64 vankan@linux-bew6:~> uname -i x86_64 vankan@linux-bew6:~> uname -m x86_64 vankan@linux-bew6:~> getconf LONG_BIT 64 vankan@linux-bew6:~> sudo Downloads/VMware-Player-12.1.0-3272444.x86_64.bundle root's password: This is a x64 bundle and does not match that of the current architecture. Please download the x86 bundle. In VMware speak x86 in this case means i386. Does anybody have an idea where the installer might be looking for the architecture other than those? Apparently the problem does not occur often, since Google searches left me empty handed. BTW the cpu is an AMD Athlon II X2 220, which certainly is 64 bits. Would be very hard to run an x86_64 kernel otherwise :) Regards, Jos -- Jos van Kan registered Linux user #152704 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] leap42 / sistemad - who is supposed to create syslog.service ?

On leap42 with syslog-ng installed, I seem to be missing a symlink: /etc/systemd/system/syslog.service -> /usr/lib/systemd/system/syslog-ng.service Hmm, in 13.1 and 13.2, the syslog-ng service unit had "Alias=syslog.service", but this appears to have been commented out in Leap42 ?? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (4.0°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - your free DNS host, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

Substantially, normal update procedure is (if you use the DVD) to take off all the 13.2 repos during install when joining the update repos. If you did an online update, procedure is to change before all the links (url) in the repos into the leap ones, or to register the new leap repos and then to erase the old 13.2 ones. You then run normally zypper ref and then zypper dup (distribution update) and you finish with a working system. If not, chances are good that you finish with a hybrid system (which then is not working). The only reason why this did probably not happen is, that some package versions of Leap are less advanced then the one of 13.2 due to a different package policy (based on compatibility with the SLE12 edition (in order to profit from synergy). I would advice to substitute all previously used repos (including packman, extra and so on) with the Leap version, to eliminate then the 13.2 ones and to run zypper ref and zypper dup. You may be ed that packages will be downgraded. This is normal. Important is that at the end you may hold a working and homogeneous system. --- Alle Postfächer an einem Ort.

[opensuse] Latest kernel kills virtualbox

The latest kernel update appears to have killed virtualbox.

Please reinstall the kernel module by executing '/sbin/vboxconfig' as root. If it is available in your distribution, you should install the DKMS package first. This package keeps track of Linux kernel changes and recompiles the vboxdrv kernel module if necessary. where: suplibOsInit what: 3 VERR_VM_DRIVER_NOT_INSTALLED (-1908) - The support driver is not installed.

[opensuse] Dolphin Search Shows Empty Folder When Folder Isn't Empty
by SDM 03 Feb '16

03 Feb '16

Under the latest Tumbleweed snapshot, I found that when expanding a folder in detail view in Dolphin search results (this is with Baloo totally disabled), the folder shows as no files being in that folder. If you move the folder to the trash and then view it in detail view, the files appear, as they also will when viewing the folder in detail view when not in Dolphin search results. It only does this with certain folders, depending on what appears to be the type of content that's in the folder. I'm trying to figure this out right now, as what file types/and or file names (if that really is the culprit) would be causing this odd issue. Can anyone else test this and see if they get the same result? This could pose a dangerous scenario, because somebody ends up deleting a folder they think is empty which in actuality it just appeared empty. sdm -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Seeking feedback for new package: cups-airprint
by Olav Reinert 03 Feb '16

03 Feb '16

Hi everyone, Some time ago, I added support for AirPrint to my printer setup, which is based on openSUSE and CUPS. So now I can print stuff directly from my iPhone (which I still find kind of cool), and girlfriend finds it useful, too. Setting it up basically involves configuring and running an Avahi (mDNS) daemon for printer discovery, and making some minor adjustments to the CUPS configuration. Nothing complicated, but it still took some internet research and some fiddling to get it working. To make it easy for myself to repeat the setup process, I collected the outcome of that research and fiddling in a package. And now, because I'm probably not the only geeko with an iPhone, I'm considering to submit my cups-airprint package to Factory. However, before submitting it, I would really appreciate if some fellow geekos out there with Apple iOS devices would be willing to try it out, and perhaps give feedback: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:oreinert/cups-airprint Also, I'm wondering if "cups-airprint" is a legally acceptable name for a package in the openSUSE distribution, considering that "AirPrint" is a trademark of Apple Inc.

[opensuse] Leap 42.1 fully tings/piyin/fcitx/wine
by stakanov＠freenet.de 03 Feb '16

03 Feb '16

I would like a feedback from an user employing fcitx with piyin / m17n I encounter two bugs. Before reporting I would like to make sure that anybody can confirm the following: install fcitx pinyin, Chinese m17n and any European font (in my case Italian). First bug: if you choose to set up this, plus "show national flags for layouts" in kde settings, it apparently works but you loose the preference of input when using firefox rightclick orthographic correction. E.g. set to Italian (having installed in kde Italian, German, Spanish). Open Firefox, then write a comment somewhere, e.g. in German. Select online-correction it will work but preferences will be set back to default (Italian). This for EVERY word you correct, which makes it a mayor bug if you use a particular typeset. Second bug: use only fcitx, no local settings via kde/flag. Install wine. Try to run any windows programme via qt4wine and setup a virtual desktop. If you have fcitx installed with pinyin, it will jump to it, no matter if you have set to input European language for password and user. You cannot switch to anything other then pinyin while wine is running in virtual desktop Which makes then input impossible. (In my case it was a program to access the interface of a router). It would be nice if someone with similar asset could try that. --- Alle Postfächer an einem Ort.

[opensuse] configuring grub2

Hello, 1) I try to configure grub2 simply to remove the unuseful options on the kernel line, specially splash=silent, because I need to see the logs (leap do not start most of the times). nothing seems to works... according to https://doc.opensuse.org/documentation/html/openSUSE_122/opensuse-reference… * yast2 have a corresponding line, but making this line empty do not stay (the option come again) * setting /etc/sysconfig/bootloader option to ="" do not give any change * /etc/default/grub is nearly empty and have nothing relevant * Scripts under /etc/grub.d/ scripts have no "splash" in them and are pretty complex, so I don't know how to do there * grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg rebuild the grub.cfg file... with the options I try to remove 2) osprober add the menus for my main /dev/sda disk, but not for my other /dev/sdb disk (system is on /dev/sdc) os-prober /dev/sdb /dev/sda1:Windows 7 (loader):Windows:chain /dev/sda4:Windows Recovery Environment (loader):Windows1:chain /dev/sda6:openSUSE 13.2 (x86_64):SUSE:linux I now it's a script, but much too hard for me :-( thanks jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] uefi on the second disk
by jdd 02 Feb '16

02 Feb '16

Hello, On a laptop I have windows (8, then 8.1, then 10) and several openSUSE (right now two leaps and one tw) this laptop have two disks, one of them being a 24Gb internal ssd. Being much faster than the HDD, my main Leap is on it. But I can't make the laptop read the efi partition of the ssd. Is it possible to trick Yast (or grub-install) to write the efi boot file on the hdd (/dev/sda1)? I tested all what I was thinking of, with no result, I even copied the /boot/efi/EFI files to the same folder in the hdd (named open), but the bios don't see them right now I boot from a grub menu from the other Leap install (on hdd) any idea? thanks jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

Radeon, this is weird, the recent card work fine. But laptop hardware sometimes is tricky. Since kernel 4.x my ultrabase does not have usb anymore when I boot. Just like that. Elderly hardware has these quirks I guess, as it gets less attention. IP: I am surprised about that one. Again I think this is related to what kind of hardware you have. At least in the setting up of the system, i never needed to go out of normal paths with leap. Repos: when a repo error comes up or a major problem of hardware, you can write an email to admin/at/opensuse.org and this opens a ticket. About the speed, you see I think this can be a chain of circumstances. I people are on holiday, if personnel is low on number for economical resources (after all, you get opensuse for free as free beer which is of course not giving you so many resources. Then there was FOSDEM so maybe there where people off duty because of that etc. And than, a classics: shit happens so when it hits the fan, everybody is trying to get everything fixed but it may take time, who knows. last: oh I regularly hit nasty bugs, I am frequently frustrated but I try at least to mitigate my sharp and nasty tongue. Like you in your and me in this case, not always I am successful but the good intentions are there. Maybe leave out at least the caps the next time, so I will not snap lol. I agree on the fact that no showstoppers should be in a release version and (when the update is working) you would be surprised, they fixed a lot, and install is much better with than without. I can understand fully you frustration that it happened when presenting the install. What can I say, "Murphy" is a real bastard and his law is preciously observed by circumstances. You were just unlucky. And take my sarcasm with the benefit of inventory. When it happens it usually refers to what has been said and not to the person. Have fun. --- Alle Postfächer an einem Ort.

Again, much ado about not much. If I want to notate pictures, I use gimp to either write on them or I add a bottom margin and put the info there. That way I can, if desired in some future time, cut the bottom off of the picture. Obviously I am not such a purist as those who needlessly worry over exif data.

There are some trouble with nvidia. The responsibility goes to nvidia (and their oss policy). Network should set up properly, if it is connected during install via ethernet in all case. What problem did you get? The update repo is a casual thing. I cannot recall when the last time the update repo did not work. opensuse does permit normally to solve a whole lot of issues with the integration of update repos on boot time. You have to select this on install. As for SUCKING: it depends. If you need a good BJ I cannot exclude that, if you invest a substantial sum of money, somebody may do you a favor. But you will have to ask kindly one by one and people may get very much offended. For sure AFAIK we do not offer virtual oral service right now on our repos. You could propose that as a feature but I tend to be pessimistic for it going through. I would therefore advice to use traditional channels for that matter.

Somebody repaired something and slowly things turn to normal. I would suspect the advice to send a complain more vigorously to the isp was good.

Hello List! As stated ind the title: The systemd-udev-root-symlink.service doesnt start anymore and spams my logs with: Cannot add dependency job for unit systemd-udev-root-symlink.service, ignoring: Unit systemd-udev-root-symlink.service failed to load: Invalid argument. See system logs and 'systemctl status systemd-udev-root-symlink.service' for details.

So I keep removing the annoying bash-completion and systemd-bash-completion packages, but when I do a zypper update, it keeps selecting them for installation.

[opensuse] question on tunderbird/seamonkey mail imap offline mirroring
by Istvan Gabor 01 Feb '16

01 Feb '16

Hello: My IMAP mailbox at my ISP is close to full. I would like to delete most of its content form the IMAP server but keep messages locally. I use seamonkey mail (almost equal to thunderbird if I know correctly) with configured IMAP mailboxes. There is an option for download/synchronize messages for offline use which makes a local copy of the messages. My question is if I use this method, and delete messages on the server afterwards not from seamonkey mail (eg in webmail), will be the local messages deleted after a new connection started from seamonkey mail? In other words is the synchronization bi-directional or uni-directional? If bi-directional, what would be the most effective way to clear the server while keeping local messages with possibly maintaining the original directory tree?

Hello everybody, On my desktopcomputer i have a standalone boot partition a real orphan,no kernel and no operating system looks for it. It is a stable and customized, al my opensuse flavours boots are adressed via this partition no problems at all. But i added win10 and that doesn't work. I have to generate a new grubx64.efi !
