[opensuse] wicked startup delay
by Dave Howorth 03 Apr '16

03 Apr '16

So since I've spent a lot of time watching Leap booting recently :( I noticed that there's a noticeable delay whilst it sits there waiting for wicked to do something*. I just had a look at a presentation about wicked and it appears to be designed to deal with network complexity, which I don't need. It also seems that Network Manager is the default for desktops, so I guess I selected something whilst installing. I'm old school and I just want a simple wired connection to my switch, with DHCP from my router beyond that. The PC is capable of wi-fi but I want that disabled. What's the best way to reconfigure my PC to have the simplest network configuration? Cheers, Dave * I'm not at home, which is why I'm not explicit about the message. Hopefully it's not necessary to know what the message was to answer my question, but if it is then please let me know and I'll post it later. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

Actually, I'm old enough that an ASR33 with paper tape punch was a step up from our old mechanical punch cards, and when I had to go back to punch cards for a new job, I was tremendously relieved that the card punches were the fancy new pneumatic things -- that even let you edit your text before you hit the punch key! And every step beyond that was a step forward. vi, notepad, now notepad++ and kate; all were huge advances in my ability to do work (I've never been an SA except at home). And guess what -- notepad++ and kate are basic gui's! Just add some tools and snippets. Yeah, no one, as far as I know, has gone to the trouble to build a full-fledged gui for, say, /etc/sysconfig or /etc/fstab, but then, anyone who knows how to handle them usefully doesn't need the popup help or context-dependent selection boxes a well-done gui can give. /etc/permissions or /etc/ntpd, for instance, may be another matter. But I don't know enough about either to do more than read them with admiration. john perry -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

Which is? The screenlocker (automatic screenlocker) is known not to work due to a bug and won't fix because it has been fixed upstream. The updates today fixed only a crash in the switch-user and should not modify in any way the screenlocker. What happens sometimes is a black screen telling you that you locker has been damaged. You can unlock it using the tty1. The command should be mentioned in the error message. With me that works (happened several times now). --- Alle Postfächer an einem Ort.

[opensuse] leap install messed up mint
by Dave Howorth 03 Apr '16

03 Apr '16

I had Mint installed on a machine, which also has W10, and it was all working fine. I installed Leap and that is working fine. When I reboot I get taken to openSUSE's boot menu, which is fine, and it reboots either Leap or W10 fine, but if I select the line for Mint it says error: vmlinuz.... has invalid signature. error: you need to load the kernel first. The machine has UEFI and is in secure mode and Mint was booting just fine using its own (well, Ubuntu's) grub so presumably has a good signature, so I'm currently thinking of this as an openSUSE problem. Anybody got any ideas? Cheers, Dave -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

My leap421 installation just told me $SUBJ. I guess some update wasn't quite tested. I have to say, I'm glad I'm not dependent on Leap to work all the time. -- 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] Running a vmware VM inside virtualbox
by Greg Freemyer 02 Apr '16

02 Apr '16

All, openSUSE 13.2 VirtualBox 4.3.36 (from the official opensuse repo) I have a VM that works in VMware, but I'd rather use virtualbox. I've read half a dozen sets of instructions (all relatively simple), but none work. This is what I get if I try to create a new VM and point at the VMDK file as the drive: === Failed to open the hard disk file /media/5BE6837001885F13/VMware Machines/IAC-Athena-DEMO-Early-Sept-2015/IAC-Athena-DEMO.vmdk. Could not get the storage format of the medium '/media/5BE6837001885F13/VMware Machines/IAC-Athena-DEMO-Early-Sept-2015/IAC-Athena-DEMO.vmdk' (VERR_NOT_SUPPORTED). Result Code: VBOX_E_IPRT_ERROR (0x80BB0005) Component: Medium Interface: IMedium {05f2bbb6-a3a6-4fb9-9b49-6d0dda7142ac} Callee: IVirtualBox {fafa4e17-1ee2-4905-a10e-fe7c18bf5554} Callee RC: VBOX_E_OBJECT_NOT_FOUND (0x80BB0001) === Any idea what I need to do? fyi: I also installed the latest virtualbox on Windows and tried. I got a similar error. Greg -- Greg Freemyer www.IntelligentAvatar.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] adding apps to the menus
by david allan finch 01 Apr '16

01 Apr '16

Is there any documentation of how to add an application to the menus as part of a package install? (I have figured this out by looking at the files themselves in the system but would like to know if I made any mistakes) Also I am interested to know how to create a sub menu group for all the apps for my package? (all the examples I have followed in the distribution tree don't seam to work so I am missing something key here) Regards D -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] DC style logos for openSuse
by Anton Aylward 01 Apr '16

01 Apr '16

At the Toronto "Suse Day" yesterday there was a flash of a screen wallpaper that had the DC Comics superman style distorted pentagon, but in green with the suse lizard head in place of the stylized "S" with a greeninsh overall tint. I suppose that a green "S" would not be clearly "Suse" enough. But it made me think. There the "batsignal", the searchlight type projection ... but make that a green instead of black background and and the lizard head instead of the batwing. I did wonder about the Green lantern logo. The thing is that the current logos we have are really like that anyway. Any other ideas of adopting well known cultural visual icons? -- 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
