[opensuse] start firefox from script
by Istvan Gabor 17 May '16

17 May '16

Hello: I would like to start firefox browser from bash script. I made this script: #! /bin/bash ffpid=`pidof firefox` ffexit=$? echo "firefox PID is: $ffpid" if test $ffexit == 0 then `kill -9 $ffpid` fi sleep 5 firefox -P list http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2016-05/all.html & exit What I want is to check if firefox is running, if it's runing stop it and start it again with specific profile with specific URL. This works with the above script but the problem is if I run the script at least two times, the second time firefox opens with two tabs, with the same content in both tabs. 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. I use an old firefox version (24.8.1 ESR, the last ESR that doesn't have australis uinterface), I don't know if it matters.

[opensuse] I can not filter out some systemd messages in syslog
by Carlos E. R. 17 May '16

17 May '16

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I have this in "/etc/rsyslog.conf": if ($programname == 'named' or $syslogtag == '[named]:') \ then -/var/log/named & stop ... if ($msg contains 'Started Session' and $msg contains 'of user') \ then -/var/log/systemdpurged & stop # # the rest in one file # *.*;mail.none;news.none -/var/log/messages I get the expected entries in "/var/log/systemdpurged": <3.6> 2014-03-01 16:30:01 Telcontar systemd 1 - - Started Session 93 of user cer. <3.6> 2014-03-01 16:33:01 Telcontar systemd 1 - - Started Session 94 of user news. But I'm also getting them in "/var/log/messages": <3.6> 2014-03-01 16:30:01 Telcontar systemd 1 - - Starting Session 93 of user cer. <3.6> 2014-03-01 16:33:01 Telcontar systemd 1 - - Starting Session 94 of user news. And they should not be there. So the "stop" line for those systemd entries is not acting. However, it works for other sections, like the "named" section shown above, and others I do not show for clarity. Are systemd entries special? - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.

[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. Is there no more any simplified way of controlling daemons, analogous to that described above? Have a nice Pentecost day, hopefully less cold than in Germany (at the moment 9.7° in Hannover, incredible!).

[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] zypper seems to pick the wrong package version
by Paul Clarke 11 May '16

Greetings, I'm trying to install a package, which has a dependency on package "A >= version". The repository has package "A" with several versions, including "version" and "version+1". I would expect "version+1" to be installed, but that is not happening. Am I misunderstanding something about the dependency resolution?
