[opensuse] boot32.efi for 64 bits processor and Leap
by jdd 16 Aug '24

16 Aug '24

Hello, We see more and more often very small but powerfull computers, atom multicore 64 bits, but with UEFI 32 bits firmware. I have one now ("It Works TW891" paid 129€ - 32Gb ssd + 2Gb ram, runs almost perfectly windows 10 32bits or Debian 64bits). these computers can be installed with 64 bits distros, but they need absolutely a 32 bits loader. Right now I on ly know of the hybrid debian 32/64bits dvd to be able to install. Notice that *only the loader* have to be 32bits, the generic name being boot32.efi copying a generic loader to the Leap EFI folder allows booting, and probably installing (I couldn't make all the tests), but the generic one gives only a grub prompt, not handy. Could it be possible to add to the Leap isos this 32 bits loader? only this one have to be 32bits, AFAIK nothing else have to be changed. thanks jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

Bad blocks on a ReiserFS volume. How to retrieve files?
by Silviu Marin-Caea 14 Aug '24

14 Aug '24

I have a large hard-disk (120 GB) on which some blocks went bad. Now, it cannot be mounted. Attached is what debugreiserfs says. What can I do; I'm newbie to reiserfs architecture. I thought that ReiserFS keeps copies of the superblock or something, like ext2/3 does. reiserfsck says "error occured looks like hardware problem. bread cannot read block 13271040". That's the actual number it displays. PS I have asked the same question on the reiserfs-list, but it's extremely low traffic. Maybe someone here knows more.

[opensuse] Project management software question for project managers
by Ted Byers 29 May '24

29 May '24

I am looking for project management software I can install on my Suse box. Alas, there are quite a number of prducts that claim to be suitable project management products, but I am hoping to obtain a little help separating the wheat from the chaffe. Basically, when I open the project management software, I want to be able to choose from among a number of projects that are under way, and then see the relation between a client's wish list and the functional requirements specs, and then how these specs relate to the UML diagrams that have been created, and from there, what tasks have been defined for each requirement and the identity of all persons involved, the developers and their managers, and the person who designed the code that supports the requirement. And with that, I want to be able to see the project's timeline, the related bugs, &c. I would even want to be able to open the source code files and examine the code that was actually written. Here is my wish list: 1) a web application that stores data in either PostgreSQL or MySQL. 2) easy integration with UML tool (or has it's own UML tool that supports round trip engineering) 3) resource management (e.g. computers, and development tools, that can be used, personelle assigned to each task) 4) documentation of relation between functional requirements specs to specific tasks and specific unit and integration tests. 5) time/effort tracking 6) bug tracking, including data relating the existance of the bug, and effort required to fix it, to the person who wrote the original code, the person who supervised him or her, and the person who designed the 'feature' in question, the time taken to complete the original task, and the technologies used (to imprrove accountability as well as to determine retraining and continuing education needs (people aren't disposable, so instead of taking a harsh aproach to problems identified, I prefer to use education as a corrective, but I can't design corrective instruction without knowing precisely what the need is). I also need to know if a developer has a higher than normal bug rate simply because he doesn't take enough time to ensure the job is done right, or because I haven't adequately trained him, or because of a poor choice of tools, or somethng else that may be my fault. 7) use of task effort tracking history to generate provisional effort/cost estimates from new project's functional requirements 8) easy integration with open source ERP products like OFBiz (which may make trakcing resources and manpower easier, as well as connect real production data to the enterprise's accounting systems) 9) easy integration with CMS products, like Wordpress (especally for production documentation, includng degin documentation and user guides and reference manuals) 10) easy integration with verion control systems such as subversion. If there is a decent product that supports all of this, great (and language used to implement it doesn't matter), but if I have to write code to add missing requirements, then I am limited to those implemented using Perl or Java (and running on Tomcat). I don't know PHP well enough, and I don't know Ruby at all; and I really don't want to think about implementing this sort of thing in C++ (though I could if absolutely necessary). If you have project management experience, and use tools that are available for Suse Linux, what software product(s) did you use, and with what result? While I await relies, I will continue to review web documentation for those products I have found so far, to see if any of them are a) suitable for use in production and b) to see to what extent they support the features I am after. I have seen a number of products so far in my search, that deserve to be nameless, because they provide no way to relate cost estimates to one's team's track record, or to the details of the design, and seem satisfied with production of a pretty gantt chart (which is why I have formed the view that there is a whole lots of chaffe in the set of applications that call themselves project menement software - I have yet to find anything that really has the potential of being labelled wheat).

Sorry SuSE: 9.1 is Waste of time and money!
by Terje J. Hanssen 17 May '24

17 May '24

I am sorry to conclude that my upgrade from SuSE 9.0 Pro to 9.1 Pro has been waste of time and money for me, so far. The same I have to say about the free SuSE "Installation support". The reason is that my SuSE 9.1 installation only detects 1 of my 3 SCSCI devices (as I wrote in another subject on this forum: http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-linux-e/2004-May/3254.html) Yamaha 4416S CDRW recorder detected HP DVD Writer 100i NOT detected Epson 1640SU scanner NOT detected It's rather stupid. I have installed 9.1 using the DVD disk just in the HP DVD drive, but after the installation of 9.1, the KDE/Konqueror /media/recorder cannot access it and YaST2 cannot install additional software from it. Only one "Cdrecorder" is found in My computer and that is the Yamaha 4416 drive, which the KDE/Konqueror file manager assign as /media/recorder11. I am sure 9.1 is the reason, as I hadn't this problems with 9.0. I have tried both an update and two several new installation of 9.1. Neither SJDS nor Windows on the same multiboot PC have problems to detect these devices. In my opinion SuSE should therefore debug 9.1 better and longer, and not leave the problems to the customers. I see SuSE notes on their web saying that they know SCSI scanners are not detected in 9.1. But regarding my HP DVD writer problem, the SuSE support (as usual) don't take the responsibility and argue that this problem (a combination of IDE disk and SCSI devices) isn't included in their free installation support! This sounds remarkable, and I have never had a modern PC of so simple model or configuration that it has fitted the limited rules for the free installation support. Terje J. Hanssen

[opensuse] Again, trying to find a suitable video editor.
by Carlos E. R. 02 Dec '17

02 Dec '17

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I simply can't find a suitable video editor that works. My goal is to extract the interesting parts of a TV recording. Ie, mark the start of the movie, the end, the commercials inside, and dump all that into a single file, perhaps recoding. One limitation is that movies here have two sound tracks, one in Spanish, and the other one in the original language, typically English. I want to keep both, obviously. I don't need any transition or effect, just a simple editor that allows me to remove unwanted sections. I have tried: pitivi - crashes on start LiVES - works for an hour at 100% CPU and can't load the file. dvbcut - says my mpeg file is not a video (and it certainly is!) tragtor - can convert, but not edit. openshot - almost. My video has two sound tracks, and this tool ignores the second track. cinelerra-cv - I can't make head or tails of it. I tell it to load a video file, it does, but then I don't see how to do anything. It doesn't even display the video. I may have to read the manual, but I dislike having to read a manual for a GUI. Still... kdenlive - Well... crashes too often. I can mark the cuts, but it does not display what I'm cutting. And only one sound track. HandBrake - no edit. Avidemux - one sound track only. Kino - abandonware. Lightworks ?? Shotcut - Segmentation fault on start. cer@Telcontar:~/Videos/Fusion/trabajo> shotcut QSqlDatabase: QSQLITE driver not loaded QSqlDatabase: available drivers: QMYSQL QMYSQL3 QSqlQuery::exec: database not open QSqlQuery::exec: database not open Database::Database(QObject*) Failed to get version. QSqlQuery::exec: database not open bool Database::upgradeVersion1() Failed to create thumbnails table. Database version is 0 Segmentation fault cer@Telcontar:~/Videos/Fusion/trabajo> Flowblade ?? I don't understand the tool. May need some reading. At least it runs. I would like something that would produce a command line to ffmpeg in a GUI. Then I could modify further the options. This would be ideal. tragtor works this way, but has no editor. - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.

All values under about:config -> mediasource.*.enabled are true. Youtube can play html5 videos, but many other sites like facebook, tumblr etc. can't. How could I let firefox play mp4 videos?

Hi, at oSC16 we would like to offer the opportunity to get your key signed by other openSUSE contributors. Some of our SUSE employees have very well connected GPG keys, don't miss this opportunity. To make this procedure as efficient as possible I would like to use the procedure used by FOSDEM: - All attendees send their public keys to me: # gpg --armor --export --output $KEY_ID.gpg $KEY_ID Send $KEY_ID.gpg via email to me (jsegitz(a)suse.com) - I'll compose a file with all the signatures, further instructions and send a signed version around three days before the event - You need to print out that list, compute two hashes and fill them in on the printed copy (it's described in the file you'll receive). Bring this list, a pen and some form of photo ID to the keysigning party. With that procedure everyone can check their own key and the hashes. If there are no discrepancies only the photo ID needs to be checked, which speeds up the event considerably.

Hello: In openSUSE 13.2 the traditional network setup (ifup in yast) was removed and wicd (??) was introduced which I didn't like when I tried. Along with ifup kinternet/qinternet and related packages, eg smpppd (SuSE Meta PPP Daemon, the back-end for kinternet) have been removed too. I am curious how network manager independent network setup occurs in leap 42.1? Does it have kinternet on something similar?

[opensuse] Off-Topic: sending details (in)securely via email
by gumb 08 Jun '16

08 Jun '16

Just a quick gauge on people's thoughts on this. My employer recently asked everybody for an updated ID document. For most of their French employees this would be their identity card, but me being British I don't have one, so it would have to be my passport. They want me to send a scan of it to them via email. In the past I've refrained from sending scans of such sensitive documents by an inherently insecure system, so I've been holding off these last few weeks. Since I won't be passing by the office in person anytime soon, aside from putting a photocopy in the post, what would you advise? I'm certainly not going to delve into the complex, murky world of email encryption just for them, and besides, I don't rate the ability of the receptionist at the other end to fathom out anything more exotic than an attached jpeg. Any attempt to send by other means may be in vain since she may forward it by email to head office.

[opensuse] DHCPv6-PD request
by James Knott 05 Jun '16

05 Jun '16

My ISP is finally rolling out IPv6. One thing that's required is for the router to make a DHCPv6-PD request to get the prefix info etc. I don't know if my router/firewall, based on openSUSE 13.1 is doing that. I don't see anything in Wireshark that would indicate it's making that sort of request. I'm also not aware of any configuration that would enable it. Does anyone know anything about this? tnx jk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Kernel 4.5 runs great!
by Anton Aylward 03 Jun '16

03 Jun '16

regular readers will recall that I've mentioned before: I'm on 13.1 and few leading repositories, one of which is Kernel_Stable. I've just upgraded to 4.5 and yes it is an improvement in many ways. The whole 4.x series has been pretty goo, each step along the way being in improvements, particularly with locking and blocking in the kernel, that result in better responsiveness. Discussion of same at http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=linux-45-features&num=1 "The Many New Features & Improvements Of The Linux 4.5 Kernel" I'm looking forward to 4.6 :-) Given the stability of 13.1 (and its tumbling) and the continual teething troubles reported here with LEAP, I'm staying with this configuration for the foreseeable future. I'd advise anyone who has the spare resources or inclination to try the 4.x series kernels. At the very least, they have updates to BtrFS that offer stability an improvement over the 3.x series. Relevant to recent threads here: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Btrfs-Pull-Linux-4.5 Of course that may not apply to desktop systems There's enough happening to make me consider actually forgetting about the palaeolithic hardware I normally spend time tweaking and hacking and getting a bleeding edge mobo and chipset. But then again, just having a fast desktop might be no fun :-( -- 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] Graphics for Server
by Paul Groves 03 Jun '16

03 Jun '16

Hi All, I am looking for some advice on a graphics card for my server. One function of the server is to convert media but it takes absolutely ages (about 85 minds for a terribly LQ 20 min H.264 360p video)!!!!!!!!! Current graphics card (lspci): root@server5:~ # lspci | grep NVIDIA 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GK208 [GeForce GT 720] (rev a1) 01:00.1 Audio device: NVIDIA Corporation GK208 HDMI/DP Audio Controller (rev a1) Now on my desktop pc I have no trouble with converting full 1080p videos in no time at all (about 15 mins for an hour and a half movie) Graphics card is (lspci): paul@paul-pc:~$ lspci | grep NVIDIA 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GK104 [GeForce GTX 760] (rev a1) 01:00.1 Audio device: NVIDIA Corporation GK104 HDMI Audio Controller (rev a1) other specs: Both PCs are using the NVIDIA official drivers (from the community repo). Both are asus boards, the desktop being a B75 and the server a Z77 Desktop PC has 16GB RAM server 24GB ECC both have an intel i5 3470k cpu both have a mirror raid set up on SATA 3 using 1tb WD 7200 rpm drives using XFS Both PCs on opensuse 42.1 (also no difference in performance on ubuntu 16.04 on my desktop). Now could this be an issue with the setup or is the 720 just pants? Should I get another 760 or would anyone with more knowledge in this subject recommend a better card? The server has no screen and is command line only so need for other graphics capabilities other than converting video.

This is a step back from 13.1, which at least could get it's own IPv6 address via dhcp. I'll try installing dhcpcd 6.10 and see what happens. Any configuration required?

Searching is good, mind you. Well, I don't think it is possible. It is a bunch or kit, you buy it all and only use what you wish. It is funny that some people owning an Android phone think that they don't have gmail. They do, of course, it comes with the phone. They just are not aware of it because it was set by the shop clerk. The nuisance for me comes when I ask them what is that address, because I made some photos at an event with them, and they want to see those photos. The easiest is just to share them with the "Photo" app in Android, associated with the gmail account of the phone or tablet. They give me their yahoo address instead which of course does not work. However, I have the feeling of seeing somewhere some google app used with a non google account. But I can't remember which or if it is accurate. Maybe it is incorrect, just gmail reading yahoo mail or similar. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)

[opensuse] incoming tcp connections with ECN
by Per Jessen 31 May '16

31 May '16

I am having a bit of an issue with a customer and their inbound traffic to us. It's authenticated SMTP on port 587 with TLS. For whatever reason, they're trying to negotiate ECN. The receiving systems are somewhat backlevel/due-for-update, kernel 2.6 with /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_ecn = 0 by default. Newer systems have '2': 0 – disable ECN and neither initiate nor accept it 1 – enable ECN when requested by incoming connections, and also request ECN on outgoing connection attempts 2 – (default) enable ECN when requested by incoming connections, but do not request ECN on outgoing connections When /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_ecn is 0, incoming connections appear to be simply ignored, even when the sending host switched off ECN after having tried with ECN. The solution seems to be to set /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_ecn = 2. The question is - are there any other effects? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (21.2°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] Kernel won't load properly, touchpad won't work
by Mark Misulich 29 May '16

29 May '16

Hi, my laptop which I carry with me on business trips died, and I purchased a new laptop. Its an ASUS Q303UA, and I loaded opensuse Leap 42.1 on it today. It has one issue with hardware, the touchpad isn't recognized. I tried to find some info about how to fix this and the long and short of it is that Ubuntu guys say that the driver is in kernel 4.5x and after. The kernel which is loaded at the opensuse 42.1 install is 4.1.21-14-default. I tried to install a newer kernel, 4.6.0-4.g2a4d959-default first from this repository: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/stable/standard/ However, when I try to boot with that kernel, I get the following message: Loading linux 4.6.0-4.g2a4d959-default ... error: /boot/vmlinuz-4.6.0-4.g2a4d959-default has invalid signature. Loading initial ramdisk ... error: You need to load the kernel first. Press any key to continue. I next removed the 4.6 kernel from that repository, and changed repositories to the following: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/HEAD/standard/x86_64/ I installed kernel 4.6.0-4.1.g779b2fc-default, then rebooted. When I tried to boot with this 4.6 kernel, I get the same message as above with the other 4.6 kernel. I decided to try to put a lower kernel than that which was installed during the installation, and installed kernel-default 4.1.20-11 -default. With this kernel I can boot normally without any error message. I don't know how to get the 4.6 kernels to load to see if that will fix the touchpad problem. Maybe there is another way to get the touchpad working, but I am not aware of it. Does someone recognize these problems that can advise me of a solution?

Then they must have keep-alive enabled. Anoton, your NAT router maintains a map/table of connections - internal addresses, external addresses and port numbers. Unused connections are flushed after a while. Unless the device uses STUN or keep-alive, that table will not maintain the needed information to know where to direct an incoming call. Maybe check your config for "NAT Keep Alive". The screenshot is from my SPA2102 which connects directly to asterisk. /Per

[opensuse] kde start submenu hangs
by Istvan Gabor 26 May '16

26 May '16

Hello: This has been a long standing issue but I didn't deal with it until now. I don't know if it is related to my other problem with right clicking. This occurs in openSUSE 13.1 with KDE3. When I navigate in the kicker's main menu to Office/Document Viewer submenu the system hangs. I found the kicker is the culprit, it uses 100% CPU. When I use kde menu editor (kmenuedit) and try to open Office/Document Viewer menu, the system also hangs. In this case kmenuedit uses 100% CPU. How could I trace why the menu cannot be opened and causes hangup? I guess there can be some problem with .menu, .desktop or .directory files which build up the xdg menu system, bit how to find which one is the culprit?

[opensuse] Leap 42.1 - disconnected NFS connection hangs boot - Forever...
by David C. Rankin 26 May '16

All, A friend had a leap laptop that was stuck trying to boot and couldn't figure out why. Just 3-dots in a chevron toggling back and forth endlessly. He said it used to work and he liked the interface, but couldn't figure out why. Cancelling the login graphics (not something the 1st time user was aware of) disclosed the problem -- activating NFS (34m 58 sec no-limit) WTF? 'no-limit'??? This poor guy had been trying to boot his laptop for the past day and a half. He said he had to pull the batter out to shut it down because he couldn't reboot and when he would try to boot again it would just get stuck.... I'm sure there was an easier way to fix the issue, but I just edited the grub2 kernel boot line to boot to run-level 1 equivalent, chrooted the system under /mnt, disabled NFS with systemctl and rebooted. This time the laptop hung at the same spot with: -- activating NFS_B (31 sec 1:36) which thankfully timed out at 1:36 and completed the boot. Obviously what happened is the guy had previously connected to a NAS box via NFS and the boot was attempting to reconnect, but what caused the timeout of 'no-limit' to be set for NFS, and why did disabling NFS in systemd cause NFS_B to attempt connection?? Is the 'no-limit' something that must be user set, or is this some default in leap? Let me know your thoughts and whether this should be filed as a bug (it probably should), I can't think of any situation where you should have an indefinite timeout on a service activated during boot??? -- David C.

[opensuse] No SANE devices found
by Wolfgang Mueller 24 May '16

24 May '16

I have SuSE 13.2 and try to install Brother DCP-7040 as a scanner (before I had installed it as a printer, with some difficulties, but eventually with success). Now, since YaST Scanner does not support my Brother DCP-7040, I downloaded two rpm's from http://support.brother.com/: - brscan3-0.2.13-1.i386.rpm (for 32 bit) and - brscan3-0.2.13-1.x86_64.rpm (for 64 bit). At first, I successfully installed the 32 bit version invoking "rpm -ihv --nodeps brscan3-0.2.13-1.i386.rpm". But when I invoked /usr/bin/scanimage, I got the error message: *scanimage: no SANE devices found* So, I removed the installation and tried the 64 bit version. But then, at invoking /usr/bin/scanimage, I got the same error message. Now, I have two questions: Is /usr/bin/scanimage the correct program to be invoked for scanning? And if so, how can I create the missing SANE devices? Thank you in advance!

IPv4 addresses on Rogers, while DHCP, change so seldom they might as well be static. Also, the host address, based on modem & firewall MAC addresses, doesn't change unless you change hardware. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] windows 8.1 - openSUSE 13.2 dual boot
by Istvan Gabor 23 May '16

23 May '16

Hello: I have a computer with installed Windows 8.1. I have installed openSUSE 13.2 on this computer but unfortunately I did not look into the procedure beforehand supposing that openSUSE takes care of dual booting and installs a working boot manager. And it did, it installed a working boot manager which worked until I booted Windows 8.1. After that the openSUSE boot manager disappeared and the computer just boots directly Windows 8.1. Then I looked into this and found that in Windows I have to run bcdedit with the path pointing to openSUE boot manager file: bcdedit /set {bootmgr} "path\EFI\opensuse\shimx64.efi or bcdedit /set {bootmgr} "path\EFI\opensuse\grubx64.efi But when I mount the EFI partition in windows it does not have either of these files. What it has is a file EFI\opensuse\X with 0 byte size. So it's probably not the correct file. How could I restore openSUSE boot manager (grub2) without reinstalling openSUSE? Possibly by booting into openSUSE 13.2 and make the corrections in it. (Previous openSUSE install media had an option "boot installed system" which found and booted installed openSUSE OSs into graphical mode but I can't find such an option in 13.2 install DVD). One more thing: when I installed openSUSE I used expert partitioning and I did not set mount point /boot/EFI to /dev/sda2 (EFI partition).

[opensuse] Switching to SSD
by sdm 22 May '16

22 May '16

I'm wanting to switch to a 120-250 GB SSD drive for just an OS drive for Tumbleweed, and want my /home on my existing 1 TB spinning rust drive. My current partition setup is about as simple as it gets: > lsblk NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT sda 8:0 0 931.5G 0 disk ├─sda1 8:1 0 156M 0 part /boot/efi ├─sda2 8:2 0 4G 0 part [SWAP] ├─sda3 8:3 0 20G 0 part /var/log └─sda4 8:4 0 907.4G 0 part /home From what I've read, there are a ton of different things one has the option of doing when switching to a SSD drive, such as enabling trim, creating a tmpfs, changing the default scheduler from cfq to deadline, overprovisioning the drive and many others. Since SSD's are so popular nowadays, I'm surprised that they aren't more plug and play with openSUSE. SSD's are practically zero configuration under Windows 10, so why isn't the same with openSUSE? I was planning on using btrfs and from what I've read trim is automatically enabled, so I guess I can skip that step? If my 1 TB spinning rust drive will be my /home, then that will be the default location for FF's cache directory which means it will slow down the system. It sounds like bcache is an option for that dilemma, but I'm hearing mixed reviews on it with stories about corruption, bad performance, etc. So what is the best way to setup what I'm trying to do? Some guides so far I've found are below, the openSUSE wiki being completely out of date as the last version there listed is 11.4 which came out in 2011. Is that info even relevant now? https://lizards.opensuse.org/2015/02/06/ssd-configuration-for-opensuse/ https://sites.google.com/site/easylinuxtipsproject/ssd-in-opensuse https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:SSD_performance -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] network manager suddenly stopped working for no reason
by tech＠reachthetribes.org 22 May '16

22 May '16

On my dell XPS 13, I have a dual boot system with Windows 10. I had just restored a backup with Windows 10 and gotten it back up an running. Then I booted into opensuse (42.1, on laptop #2 below) and everything was running fine. The network was working as far as I could tell - it showed that it was connected via network manager. So I connected a backup drive, and decided to run ntfsclone on my windows partition to the backup windows partition. I don't know why this would have anything to do with what happened next, as it seems completely unrelated, but it seemed to happen right at the same time. I typed in the command ntfsclone --overwrite /dev/sdb3 /dev/sda3 and as soon as I hit enter, network manager gave me an indication that the network dropped off and it was trying to reconnect. It would not reconnect. It kept trying over and over, but it would not connect to the local network. (the ntfsclone operation ran without a problem, but it just seemed to trigger the network falling off) I tried first doing a systemctl restart NetworkManager.service, and it restarted, but it still would not connect to the network. Then I went into yast and switched over to wicked service. It found the network, and I entered the password, but it still would not connect to the network. So I did a google search (on my other computer next to me, which is running on the network just fine), and someone suggested that I enter the command netconfig update -f So I did that, and it generated a resolv.conf backup file, and suddenly the network worked again while I was using wicked! So I thought, great, now I can switch back to network manager in yast, and make network manager work again. But alas, no such easy help. When I switched back to network manager, it did the same thing as before. It would try and try to connect, but it wouldn't connect. So I tried running netconfig update -f while network manager was running, and it didn't help. Same problem still. So I switched back to wicked, and the network is running now, but only on wicked. I would really prefer to be able to use network manager. Any ideas?

[opensuse] claws-mail on leap
by Dave Howorth 21 May '16

21 May '16

I did something foolish and now I'm looking for help to understand what I did wrong and how to recover from it. I'm [still] setting up a new machine with Leap and have got to the scary part where I try to transfer my email account to it. I currently run a very old Evolution on a different old machine but want to move to Claws. I first installed Mint on the new machine and installed Claws and managed to set it up. I then ran up Evolution on the old machine to empty my ISP's mailbox, then shut that down and started Claws on Mint and checked that I could send and receive messages successfully. Then I shut down Mint and went back to using Evolution on my old machine. Time passed, I installed Leap on the new machine and installed Claws. Then I made my mistakes. Firstly I forgot to power up the old machine and download the mail from my ISP using Evolution. So there were a bunch of messages sitting there. Next I couldn't remember my mail password so I copied the Claws config from Mint to Leap and used that to start Claws. The good news is that it connected and downloaded over a hundred messages from my ISP. The bad news is that those messages don't seem to show up anywhere in Claws and I haven't managed to find them on the disk either. So I'd welcome any thoughts as to where Claws might have put them and why they didn't show up in its GUI. I do hope it hasn't deleted them!

[opensuse] Adding disks to a software RAID array
by Bob Williams 17 May '16

17 May '16

I am in the process of setting up my system partition on an SSD drive. Working towards this I have bought a second (rotating) hard drive which will form the basis of a RAID1 array for /home. I have managed to create an encrypted RAID1 array comprising a single drive, onto which I have copied /home. Previously: /dev/sda1 / /dev/sda2 /home Now: /dev/sda1 / /dev/sda2 not mounted (contains old /home) /dev/sdb1 -> /dev/md0 /home When I have re-installed Leap 42.1 onto the SSD, I want to reformat the whole of sda and add it to the md0 array, but I'm not sure of the sequence of steps. Do I just repartition it in YaST to create a new sda1 using the whole disk? If so, which filesystem type should I choose (Linux native, Linux RAID?). Do I format it before adding it to the array (the partition already in the array is formatted as ext4)? Do I have to set up encryption on the new partition, or will this happen automatically when it joins md0? md0 was created using --force as there was initially only one device. Can I add the next device using mdadm --grow --add?

[opensuse] OT: spreadsheet format
by Dave Howorth 17 May '16

17 May '16

I have some 'spreadsheet' files that I want to read on Leap. They are produced by a logging device (a Rotronic CL11) plugged into the manufacturer's app on Win10 and have names that end in .XLS but they are text files in a kind of mixed ini-file and TSV (tab-separated values) format. They start off with ini file sections describing each of the columns of data (humidity, CO2, temp) and then there's a section with a TSV list of all the logged data values. Does anybody recognize this format and/or have any ideas of applications that can read or import it? I tried feeding it to libreoffice calc but it opened them as text files. Failing any suitable app, I guess I'll write a program to convert it to pure CSV or something.

How can I force it to open only on tab with the URL in the command line specified? In firefox preferences I've set General/Startup: When firefox start: Show a blank page.

[opensuse] Controlling daemons
by Wolfgang Mueller 15 May '16

15 May '16

In the good old days, all daemons resided in /etc/init.d with symbolic links in /etc/init.d/rc[35].d. That made stopping, starting and checking any daemon very simple, just invoking it with "stop", "start" and "status", respectively. Today, since only very few daemons survive in /etc/init.d and /etc/init.d/rc[35].d, I have no other means to control the major part of them than by using the Services Manager in YaST.

[opensuse] strange problem with right click
by Istvan Gabor 13 May '16

13 May '16

Hello: This problem is very strange. It started from one minute to the other. I use openSUSE 13.1 with KDE3. This works OK. Now when I right click a pdf file either in konqueror file manager window or in krusader the context menu is not shown and the application (konqueror or krusader) freezes and "top" command shows 99-100% CPU use for the application. If I double click to a pdf file it's opened by the associated program (adobe reader) normally. If I right click to other file types the context menu opens as normal. That is the the problem only occurs when pdf files are right clicked. How could I trace this? I've already reinstalled kdebase3 and kdelibs3 packages but it didn't help.

[opensuse] Can't dual boot with Windows 10
by Jim Sabatke 11 May '16

11 May '16

OK, I'm going crazy after spending two weeks chasing down every bit of documentation I could find online. I've tried Suse Leap, 13.1 and 13.2. 13.1 may have destroyed a lot of data on a disk I wasn't installing to as it would only load the install in the character mode, and even though I kept telling it's scheme to not use that disk, it gave feedback that it was formatting that disk. First, nothing I do or directions I follow will get me a dual boot. From my reading, Suse uses the proper ID to get EFI to recognize it as a valid OS automatically. Second, Leap comes closest to installing, but it always fails at the end. I've tried 3 disks burned on 3 different machines to try to ensure a good burn. At the end of the Leap install, I consistently get the following errors: quagga can't be installed gdm can't be installed susefirewall2 not found service susefirewall2 not found Error: cannot adjust 'NTP' service (I disabled NTP) Then the screen goes to character mode and: An Error Occurred. (Sometimes error 4) Then everything hangs. I've tried a minimal KDE install which gets rid of the quagga and gdm errors. I really need this computer (a newly acquired Dell XPS 8900 i7-6700). At this point I would be willing to have a Linux only computer. I rarely use Windows, like to program my Harmony remote whenever I get new hardware. This is obviously beyond anything I've experienced in my 25+ years using Suse. I really don't have a clue about EFI and I don't understand it, or anything I've read about it. Hoping for some sort of direction. TIA, Jim -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] GTK theme on KDE Plasma 5 for root?
by Bjoern Voigt 11 May '16

11 May '16

I use KDE Plasma 5 desktop on Tumbleweed. GTK+ applications use the default theme "Adwaita". GTK+ application like Wireshark look OK, if they are started as normal user. But if I start an application as root (using "sudo", "kdesu", "gnomesu" or KDE starter) the GTK+ applications look broken. Wireshark is nearly unusable. The main menu has no spaces, radio boxes are only visible if checked. How can I configure a working GTK+ theme for root? I found this unmodified system default: # rpm -qf /etc/gtk-3.0/settings.ini gtk3-branding-openSUSE-42.1-1.6.noarch # cat /etc/gtk-3.0/settings.in # # settings.ini file allows you to define system wide defaults for # all GTK+ applications. This file is branding specific. # # For complete list of available settings see the Settings chapter # in the GTK+ documentation. # # This is the default for openSUSE. [Settings] gtk-theme-name = Adwaita gtk-cursor-theme-name = Adwaita gtk-icon-theme-name = Adwaita gtk-fallback-icon-theme = Adwaita gtk-enable-primary-paste = true Greetings, Björn -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] wifi is enabled only after wake up

Hi all, I still have difficulties with wifi on this Asus K501UX laptop (Leap and KDE). Wired net is OK by now. Wifi needs some patience. I accidentaly found this: boot the laptop: no wifi. I pushed the Zz button, the system went to sleep. I woke it up, and voila, wifi is enabled and connects to my router? How is it? I googled and found dozens of texts only on the opposite: wifi is disconnected after waking up. Some hint, please?

[opensuse] Off Topic: Wired PC's Behind Client Bridge Can't Ping Each Other
by sdm 10 May '16

10 May '16

I have 2 wired ethernet PC's connected to a DD-WRT router running in client bridge mode. Both have internet access just fine, and both can access the main router's GUI administration page. Any PC connected wirelessly to the main router can also access the client bridge router's admin page as well. The problem I'm running into, is that the 2 wired PC's can't talk to each other. Pings fail when trying to access either PC; I've tried it on both: PING 192.168.1.5 (192.168.1.5) 56(84) bytes of data. From 192.168.1.4 icmp_seq=1 Destination Host Unreachable From 192.168.1.4 icmp_seq=2 Destination Host Unreachable From 192.168.1.4 icmp_seq=3 Destination Host Unreachable I also tried with a Windows PC just to be sure it's not a SUSE issue and the same thing happens. There is more than one DD-WRT client bridge router on this network, so I plugged in a Windows laptop to a different client bridge router and pinging both my SUSE boxes were successful. Is there some reason why the wired PC's can't communicate with each other? It's obviously some routing issue that involves the traffic going into some looping state, over my head... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] webex - what is it and how to use with opensuse Leap
by tech＠reachthetribes.org 09 May '16

09 May '16

I have signed up for some on-line classes/ webinars that use webex. In my research to figure out how to make this work, all I have been able to come up with is that webex is a java based cisco application, set up mostly for 32 bit, that people use for interactive web conferencing. That is the reason the company I signed up with the classes uses webex - for the interaction. But right now I am just trying to view the previously recorded classes. I have to use firefox. However, I can't really figure out what I am supposed to do to make it work here on my laptop, besides running it in windows in a virtual machine. I can't really do this on this laptop, because the hard drive is really too small to make enough space for a virtual machine. However, I do need to be able to do these classes when I am sometimes traveling. So, here is what happens when I click on the link to start viewing the recorded session. In the screen shots, I hit yes on the prompts. http://picpaste.com/Screenshot_20160509_115306-Cmz4wzCg.png http://picpaste.com/Screenshot_20160509_115402-Jr6fbIR7.png http://picpaste.com/Screenshot_20160509_115412-ObbeP65l.png http://picpaste.com/Screenshot_20160509_115422-r8v3E2w1.png Here is a link to an ubuntu page where someone was trying to set it up. http://askubuntu.com/questions/368270/how-to-i-make-cisco-webex-work-with-1… Unfortunately, I get lost on point #3 in the answer section: "Start a WebEx to create |.so| files inside |$HOME/.webex/????/|." What does it mean to "start a WebEx"? I am just clicking the playback button on my browser window. I understand that mac and windows apparently have a specific webex application, I think. This post seems a little confusing, so I will try to clarify. Basically, I am just trying to figure out how to run webex in firefox on my leap system on my new laptop. I have never run anything having anything to do with webex before, and I am very confused on how to get started, and there are no blogs or tutorials that are helpful. They all start with assuming that you have some level of knowledge of what webex is and how to use it. But I don't even know what I am supposed to install to try and make it work. -- George Box: 42.1 | KDE Plasma 5 | AMD Phenom IIX4 | 64 | 32GB Laptop #1: 42.1 | KDE Plasma 5 | Core i7-4710HQ | 64 | 16GB Laptop #2: 42.1 | KDE Plasma 5 | Core i5 | 64 | 8GB -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Firefox - on the security exceptions - self-signed certificates
by Vojtěch Zeisek 08 May '16

08 May '16

Hi, I set up Synology NAS server and allowed only HTTPS access for the web interface. It has self-signed certificate, but as it is only for internal purposes, it is not any problem. In Firefox, I went to the web interface. Of course, Firefox complained about invalid certificate. So that I added the secutiry exception. It was working fine, but as requested by our network admin, I had to change the network settings and set domain name. It seems Firefox has somehow related the certificate with the old network settings and it does not allow me to acces the site now. And there is no possibility to add the security exception, nothing. Firefox just points to https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/what-does-your-connection-is-not-secur… I checked Firefox settings, but I didn't find respective certificate neither domain. So how can I add/change the security exception settings to acces the site now?

I will try to provide a rundown on what is happening with each player in separate emails. But they were working, now they are not. I am using Opensuse 13.2, with kde 4.14.9. The smplayer version is 20121224+0.8.0-1.1. Here is what the mplayer2 Error dialog box says: /usr/bin/mpv -noquiet -nomouseinput -vc ffmpeg12vdpau,ffwmv3vdpau,ffvc1vdpau, -sub-fuzziness 1 -identify -slave -vo vdpau -ao pulse -nokeepaspect -framedrop -input nodefault-bindings:conf=/dev/null -stop-xscreensaver -wid 73400421 -monitorpixelaspect 1 -volume 16 -nocache -osdlevel 0 -channels 2 -af scaletempo,equalizer=0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0 -softvol -softvol-max 110 /home/lxmark/Videos/▶ New Action Movies Full Movies English ★ Bruce Willis ★ Red 2 ★ Hollywood Adventure Sci-Fi Full - YouTube [720p].mp4 Error parsing option noquiet (option not found) Setting command line option '--noquiet=' failed.

Hi, I haven't played a video on my computer for about two or three weeks, and went to play one last evening. But all of the sudden none of my dvd (video) players will work and play videos. I will try to provide a rundown on what is happening with each player in separate emails. But they were working, now they are not. I am using Opensuse 13.2, with kde 4.14.9. The mpv version installed is 0.17.0-45.11. The videos I am trying to open are MP4 files. When I try to open a video with mpv Media Player the player starts to open, and I see the player begin to open. Almost instantly it crashes and disappears. I don't know how to provide more information on this one without some help.

[opensuse] Kaffeine won't play a video file.

Hi, I haven't played a video on my computer for about two or three weeks, and went to play one last evening. But all of the sudden none of my dvd (video) players will work and play videos. I will try to provide a rundown on what is happening with each player in separate emails. But they were working, now they are not. I am using Opensuse 13.2, with kde 4.14.9. The version of Kaffeine is 1.2.2-40.1-x86_64 from vendor obs://build.opensuse.org/KDE I tried reverting the version to an earlier version of Kaffeine, but it didn't help. Then I tried to go to a updated version by adding the updated KDE application repository. It also didn't help. When I try to play a video, kaffeine starts but doesn't play any movie. Sometimes I get a kde crash handler dialog box that tells me that kaffeine has segfaulted. I tried to get a bug report to send in to kde but that is the only message that it will produce. I need some help to provide even the information to allow gurus to troubleshoot this problem.

[opensuse] Vlc media player won't play videos

I will try to provide a rundown on what is happening with each player in separate emails. But they were working, now they are not. I am using Opensuse 13.2, with kde 4.14.9. The vlc player is version 2.2.3-1.1-x86_64 from vendor http://packman-links2linus.de The videos I am trying to play are MP4 files stored on my hard drive. When I try to play a video with this player, the video chugs and alternately stops and starts, while the audio plays normally. In addition, the picture becomes largely pixillated and the colors degrade as if the colors changed from a multitude of shades to just a few shades, then it corrects and starts the process all over again. I will need some help to fix this one. Thanks, Mark -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Leap: Screen Unlock with Smartcard Problem, and Resolution
by Lew Wolfgang 07 May '16

07 May '16

Hi Folks, We need to enforce console logins with Smartcards. It's been working with 13.1 and 13.2, but Leap introduced a problem where the Smartcard couldn't be used to unlock the screen from the screen saver. It would prompt for the /etc/shadow password, but ignore the Smartcard. So one of our guys took a look at it with strace and came up with a fix. From Dan: "Unlocking screensaver with CAC in Leap 42.1 got broken when default permissions of kcheckpass got changed from root.shadow 4755 to root.root 755 (e.g. lost setuid permission). This prevented the program from reading the nssdb database whose files have permission 600. Fix is to either change permissions of the files in /etc/pam_pkcs11/nssdb to 644 or to change the permissions of kcheckpass. I chose the later by adding this line to /etc/permissions.local." # Added to make screen locker work with CAC /usr/lib64/libexec/kcheckpass root:shadow 4755 and running chkstat --system --set All is now well! Leap is about ready for our users. Regards, Lew -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] log: Key file /dev/urandom is world-readable. This is not a good idea!
by listreader 07 May '16

07 May '16

Howdy... While trying to trace a weird problem that has recently appeared in the LXDE panels (lxpanel), I looked in the system logs. I didn't find anything relevant to my problem in there but I did find something unrelated that looks a bit strange: May 06 17:20:27 msbhpmain systemd-cryptsetup[933]: Invalid passphrase. May 06 17:20:28 msbhpmain systemd-cryptsetup[993]: Key file /dev/urandom is world-readable. This is not a good idea! I mistyped one of my LUKS passwords as my ancient fingers are sometimes wont to do. No big deal. But the 2nd line above looks strange... Comments? Thanks.

[opensuse] certifcates
by Wolfgang Rosenauer 07 May '16

07 May '16

Hi, I'm currently wondering where the "correct" location is in Leap 42.1 to save server certificates and keys. I think I heard that /etc/ssl/certs is not to be used because updates might overwrite the content. So I saved both into /etc/ssl/private but quickly ran into another issue. /etc/ssl/private is only readable by root. I need in this case access for "ldap" to read the key and certificate and used setfacl to give read access to that user. Now apparently the openssl update which came in changed the directory permissions again so that ldap couldn't access /etc/ssl/private anymore. Therefore the simple question: Somebody must have thought about where to save those certificates and how to secure access to them. Any pointer?

[opensuse] Submitting parameters to php
by Wolfgang Mueller 07 May '16

07 May '16

By default submitting parameters to php is not possible. Previously, this option could be turned on by setting register_globals = On in the files /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini and /etc/php5/cli/php.ini Now, under openSuSE 13.2, these settings are still accepted, but without having any effect. Any workaround? Thanks in advance for your help! Regards, Wolfgang -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Leap: kscreen problem?
by Lew Wolfgang 06 May '16

Hi Folks, I have short Leap screen freezes that seem to be correlated with these messages in /var/log/messages: (syslog-ng installed) May 4 14:53:26 frog dbus-daemon[30355]: kscreen: Primary output changed from KScreen::Output(Id: 634 , Name: "DVI-I-1" ) ( "DVI-I-1" ) to KScreen::Output(Id: 634 , Name: "DVI-I-1" ) ( "DVI-I-1" ) May 4 14:53:56 frog dbus-daemon: Last message 'kscreen: Primary out' repeated 7 times, suppressed by syslog-ng on frog It seems to happen on an irregular, but frequent basis. This is 42.1 with an Nvidia G96GL [Quadro FX 580] frame buffer. Anyone else seeing this?
