Depends. I am running here on the very same machine Tumbleweed and leap (no dual boot but selection via BIOS). I have in TW the nouveau driver in Leap the Nvidia prop driver. The machine is approximately 12 Years old, BIOS is from 2003 and the Graphics is a "soutraitant" (how do you say this in English, maybe a licensee? In short one of these pop-up industries staying on the market for a few years) with a chip dating from about 8 years ago supported by G02 and G03. Both work, with nouveau I had severe regressions (flicker, slowness, crashes etc) with the 4.3 kernel that went fading with 4.4. With the proprietary driver on leap, the system was faster in video playing, more capable to handle heavy graphics load. So apparently even after so long time you do have some performance or function issues, all fruit of Nvidias policy (you remember the famous "finger"). When you install without the Nvidia repo you get the newest nouveau. Then when you install Nvidia, there is AFAIK, only the trinity of the three generations of the proprietary driver. Here the situation is: If your device is supported only by the gfxG01 driver, you are nouveau, because the G01 has been taken out of support and is not included any more. It has been taken out since 13.1. You then have the gfxG02 up to G03 that was "usual business" and where running in parallel supporting both partially the same devices but the G03 goes more into modern ones. The G04 is the newest branch (and afaik) the one necessary for really modern cards. If you have a modern card the device should be selected "automagically" but I found for mine that I had to select by hand. I think that may have changed due to several driver-versions supporting the same card. Normally, if you then take off for any reason the Nvidia driver that automatically activates the nouveau driver, as it is not uninstalled by the proprietary one but "blacklisted". One can check on the Nvidia site to find out if ones graphic chip is supported and by which driver. This is AFAIK. Greetings. P.S. if you like to loose time and have fun, just try to open in parallel the selections of 13.1 and 13.2 64 bit there is the difference. http://http.download.nvidia.com/opensuse/13.1/x86_64/ http://http.download.nvidia.com/opensuse/13.2/x86_64/ --- 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] sistemad and ssh / sftp {WAS: The fight continues - sistemad troubleshooting?]
by Greg Freemyer 10 Mar '16

10 Mar '16

I'm not sure this is a problem worth solving, but my other thread got me thinking. === With systemd I know I can set a dependency between services. My issue is I would like ssh to NOT depend on mounting my srv-sftp.mount service. But I would like sftp to depend on srv-sftp.mount . Unfortunately sftp isn't actually a service as far as I know, It is merely a feature of ssh. Is there a simple work-around that lets me login via ssh even if the /srv/sftp directory isn't available, but prevents my sftp users from doing so.

[opensuse] arcane sysd syntax question: why do some services have '@' in their name?
by Linda Walsh 09 Mar '16

09 Mar '16

I was looking over the services in my sysd dir, and notice that some of them end with an '@' sign for no _apparent_ reason: sys/arpwatch@.service* sys/mdmon@.service sys/kmsconvt@.service sys/openvpn@.service sys/mdadm-grow-continue@.service sys/teamd@.service sys/mdadm-last-resort@.service sys/vpnc@.service sys/mdadm-last-resort@.timer sys/wacom-inputattach@.service I currently have 122 service entries, with 9 services using '@', and 2 timers w/1 ending in @. Anyone know why '@' is part of the name, or why it is even considered "a good thing" to include '@' as part of a service name (that isn't a "service@location")? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

If he uses BTRFS and snapshots, it is possible that in these conditions his partition is full already after install. SDDM but also kdm will under these conditions login/out without further comment, making it seem "not being able to log in". I told the OP to post the result of df -h That would be useful to exclude this (very common) scenario. --- Alle Postfächer an einem Ort.

[opensuse] iscsi config screwed up by lio_dump ?
by Per Jessen 08 Mar '16

08 Mar '16

I guess there are not many takers for these questions - anyway: I used targetcli to create/edit my configuration, looked good and I had an initiator connect and run some IO. Then I rebooted the LIO target server and ended up with a partial config being dumped to /etc/target/lio_setup.sh. AFAICT, my saved config in /etc/target/scsi_target.lio is fine, but how do I convert/load that? It looks like json. The targetcli man page on Leap mentions the "clearconfig" command, and the man page on http://linux.die.net also has a "restoreconfig" and "sessions". None of these work in my version of targetcli. I guess it is backlevel? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (5.5°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] Leap42 - which iscsi target to chose?

Yes I see that now, thanks. We've been using iscsitarget (http://iscsitarget.sourceforge.net/) for a couple of years, but as I am setting up a new set of storage servers, I wanted to see what else is out there. With 'deprecated' I meant in open/SUSE where we clearly favour LIO/tcm. Hannes Reinecke is active in LIO development, I think. It would also appear that IET/iscsitarget is falling behind featurewise. I found this comparison table, but I can't tell how un/biased it is: http://scst.sourceforge.net/comparison.html It seems that SCST is an IET fork, which appeals to me as we already have IET running. Then I came across a very recent thread on linux-scsi about a proposed LIO/SCST merger, but the LIO and SCST guys don't seem overly friendly to one another. https://www.mail-archive.com/linux-scsi@vger.kernel.org/msg46756.html >From having googled a good few hours, I feel only minimally better informed, but for some reason I tend toward SCST. Both LIO and SCST seem to be backed/sponsored/supported by corporate entities - Datera and Sandisk respectively? This article describes exactly what I intend to build, but neglects to make a recommendation wrt which iscsi target implementation: http://www.nnc3.com/mags/LJ_1994-2014/LJ/217/11275.html Would anyone else care to add their opinions? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (4.3°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

[opensuse] leap 42.1 - missing an iscsi target/server?

08 Mar '16

On 13.1 and earlier, I have installed 'iscsitarget' (ietd), but that's not available in Leap 42.1 ? I can't see another iscsi server either - can someone point me in the right direction? ISTR something about ietd being deprecated in favour of lio, but I can't find that either. There is: lio-mibs - Linux-iSCSI.org Target Userspace utils lio-utils - Linux-iSCSI.org Target Userspace utils yast2-iscsi-lio-server - Configuration of iSCSI LIO target I will also be trying out iscsiuio. but that's only for bnx2 devices afaict. /Per -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
