[opensuse] KDE4 switch user logged in session user names in kicker
by Istvan Gabor 05 Jun '16

05 Jun '16

Hello: In KDE4 (openSUSE 13.1) start menu => leave => switch user does not show the logged in sessions. I have to open/click switch user which opens a new windows with opened sessions shown. I would like kicker to show the logged in session instead of a new window. Then I could directly see opened sessions without opening a window. How can I do that?

While many do this automagically, the easiest is to have separate address blocks, within the subnet, for each to hand out. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Gobs of RAM?
by Lew Wolfgang 04 Jun '16

04 Jun '16

Hi Folks, Does anyone have experience with openSUSE and lots of RAM? By lots, I mean as much as 6.1-TB of ECC RAM. Can Leap effectively use that much memory? Also, how about Python and matplotlib? I know there are better lists on which to ask that question, but the experience here runs deep and I bet someone knows. Or, can at least offer an opinion! :-) Thanks, Lew -- 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? I have put in a request for dhcpv6-pd to be added, but I shouldn't have had to. This is something that's becoming essential.
