[opensuse] Should I try kernel 4.5 on my Asus laptop?
by Daniel Bauer 24 Mar '16

24 Mar '16

Hi, for another thread I am tempted to give kernel 4.5 a try on my asus laptop (with leap), but I am not sure if this is intelligent... In fact, the only reason for a newer kernel (for me) would be that the touchpad is not recognized by the current kernel. Lots of questions...: - if I install a newer kernel, do the updates (zypper up and/or those update-messages that appear in the controlbar...) still work normal? Will I get the correct updates for leap, matching to the changed kernel? - do I run special risks? I tried up to kernel 4.4, but had to pass the parameter "idle=nomwait" (otherwise only a black screen would appear). It booted only to console modus, probably because I have installed suse-prime/nvidia drivers. I was not able to uninstall the nvidia-drivers without completely ruining my system (had to do a complete new system install). - Anybody has kernel 4.5 together with suse-prime running? How must I proceed? Finally: - does it make sense to install a newer kernel for a common user on a productive machine, the only one that I will have with me when travelling? Or do I better live without touchpad and have the standard system? Thanks for your input!

[opensuse] How to move completely to new HDD?
by cagsm 24 Mar '16

24 Mar '16

I have previously used clonezilla moving from one HDD to 'identicyl' new HDD because of hdd failures on the first one. First I used clonezilla the wrong or hard way and I learned it by making huge mistakes apparently, so it messed up the grub2 install of the leap 42.1 HDD. Then the second attempt I sector by sector copied the whole hdd same amount of blocks to second hdd of the same type which has the same number of blocks. everything worked that way, I had deselected all those additional clonezilla settings that it would not attempt to install grub on its own and all that stuff. eventually i removed hdd-1 and used hdd-2 and then i fired up the leap 42.1 usb key to boot into recovery mode and there I only made sure that /boot/grub2/.... wouldnt point anywhere to the wrong old hdd1 via serial number of the hdd1 and so on. the leap 42.1 booted up fine from the hdd2 after that. Now I have again a similar situation only this time I cannot use the same hdd again so different manufacturer this time and maybe or most probably different number of sectors here, so I cannot sector by sectory copy I guess. what is the official way to re-create the boot mechanism of an opensuse / leap 42.1 properly from say usb key and rescue mode and then going into chroot? how can I make absolutely sure to be able to boot without hassle from my new hdd2 from the different manufacturer. unfortunately there are coming more and more obstacles in our way as linux kernel and components evolve, back in old days it was easy with stuff such as /dev/sda and similar, today we have all sorts of guid and partition uid and lables and then hassle with grub2 and quite a number of places and config files where old device names can hide. think I found leftovers in /etc/default.d/ or similar directories and places which grub2 installer or scripts would take into account Any simple and easy steps or yast2 modules to repair and rebuild a pretty normal single hddl partition setup? with / and /home as partitions next to swap as the only places that exist thanks for helpers. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Recent openSUSE woes

I am an idiot and deleted the threads I started, so I am starting a new thread. Basic gist is I have to re-install because I cannot grow my root partition, regardless of the perl problem. Thanks of all the help, everyone. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] perl and opensuse
by Tom Kacvinsky 24 Mar '16

24 Mar '16

I am taking it that removing perl is bad ju-ju, as after removing it, my laptop is unresponsive to keyboard and trackpad operations. How do I recover fromsuch a monumental ****up? I would say “zipper in perl”, but I can’t even type, and even if I could, that would not reinstall all of the packages removed because perl was removed.

this mail is only to see if the word "systemd" is really moderated on opensuse(a)opensuse.org if it's a moderator that reads this, no need to post it.

We already do that, this is an internal one but when the users log into our intranet from home they will need to be able to access this website and therefore need pass-through authentication.

[opensuse] Wine complains of missing mono and gecko, despite both being installed.
by Carlos E. R. 23 Mar '16

23 Mar '16

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I start "notepad" (a Linux script that launches wine notepad), and I get a notice that "mono" can't be found. It offers to download and install it, but recommends to use the distribution package instead. I say no, and after a bit (sometimes) it complains about gecko (apparently stopped after updating). If I do nothing, after a minute it continues and notepad loads. I have "wine-gecko" and "wine-mono" installed from the wine repository. Telcontar:~ # rpm -q wine-mono wine-mono-4.5.6-5.1.noarch Telcontar:~ # rpm -q wine-gecko wine-gecko-2.44-52.1.noarch Telcontar:~ # rpm -q wine wine-1.9.6-549.1.x86_64 Telcontar:~ # What is missing?

[opensuse] mozzilla ohhhhh
by jdd 23 Mar '16

Hello, I was just hit by a browser bump... Probably not a bug, but very annoying, I'm sure you already experiment the same. Firefox. I just spent 1/2 an hour on a forum filling explanations (no link with openSUSE), and when hitting "send", the forum asked for a passwd. When returning after login... I only got an empty windows, all my work lost. I try to select and copy the text to avoid this when I think of, but often forget. Do you know where Firefox store the text buffer? Is there a way to recover this text? thanks jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Zotac Nano CI323: X problems and Intel i915 (Intel Corporation Device 22b1)
by Per Jessen 23 Mar '16

23 Mar '16

Continuation of my installation report on the Zotac Nano CI323. Note - we're talking openSUSE 12.3, but with newer 3.16.7/4.x kernels. When running mythtv with SD content, the video stutters. Given that my ancient IBM SFF desktop with a much less capable config has no problems with SD content and manages quite well with HD content, something isn't right. Now, it's been a while since I've had to fiddle with graphics and X config and such, but AFAIR there's no need for xorg.conf anymore. Well, that didn't work for me with this one - initially I got no X, so after researching the problem, I copied xorg.conf.install to xorg.conf which at least gave me X. This is now the config that gives me less-than-adequate performance with mythtv. I've studied that xorg.conf some, and it looks like it isn't in fact using the Intel driver? http://files.jessen.ch/zotac1-xorg.conf.install I'm guessing it's probably just running with fbdev? >From advice found <somewhere>, I've added /etc/X11/xorg.d.conf/20-intel.conf: Section "Device" Identifier "Intel Graphics" Driver "intel" EndSection This didn't do much good either. Here is the Xorg.0.log: http://files.jessen.ch/zotac1-Xorg.0.log.txt (II) UnloadModule: "intel" (EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.

[opensuse] wifi dongle
by jdd 22 Mar '16

Just a word to say I received just now this: http://fr.aliexpress.com/item/1pc-Mini-USB-WiFi-Wireless-802-11-n-g-b-150M-… very cheap wifi usb dongle (1.53€ free postage to France!), and it worked out of the box (after config in YaST). Probably RTL 8188ETV Just notice I already installed in this computer an other Dlink dongle, so may be I already had some driver installed.
