[opensuse] Recent update to bind-9.9.9P1-36.1 seems to have broken named on Leap 42.1
by Bill Merriam 03 Jul '16

03 Jul '16

After my most recent "zypper up" on Leap 42.1 the named (daemon) would not start. There weren't any error messages in the system log, it just said named was starting, but it didn't start. There were also updates to procps in the same update. Fortunately for me my backup name server runs 13.2 which didn't receive the update. I used snapper to roll the change back. I will research the problem further on Tuesday if somebody else hasn't figured it out.

Make sure that: if you have IDE for your DVD and SATA for you disk, you try to change IDE port. Sometimes on some boards there is a controller conflict on addresses. If you have SATA for both: make sure that the SATA1 port is the one of the DVD and the boot HDD/SSD on the SATA2. Don't run you DVD Sata in RAID ready mode in BIOS even if the bios allows for it. If you still have difficulty try to run the DVD in the BIOS in IDE compatible mode. Does this change anything? If all of the ports are SATA and of the above simply try random changes of the port. Run the SATA DVD on the principal controller and the SSD/HDD on the secondary controller if you can. That is all what comes to my mind. With newer kernel I have what you have when running IDE/SATA mixed mode. I switched to pure SATA with the order as of above. But mine is an old mainboard, unlike yours. --- Alle Postfächer an einem Ort.

Why does proxychain stay in the repo if git-hub claims: continuation of the unmaintained proxychains project O.K.......the presence of proxychains in the repo is: a) fruit of necrophilia? b) love for the tradition and good old times c) because it works...and the next generation does not d) because the "next generation" is still beta? e) because it does something that NG cannot do? I have to decide which one to install and to use, so it would be nice to do it with an informed (call it educated) decision. Thank you, (I hope the explains it a bit better.

[opensuse] Leap 42.1 Proxychains and proxychain-ng differences?
by stakanov＠freenet.de 02 Jul '16

02 Jul '16

What is technically the difference between the packages proxychains and proxychains-ng? I tried to understand but they seem identical. Is one a fork? Why was it forked then? Because both claim to do the very same thing AFAIU. I would like to chain e.g. tor and privoxy and maybe another proxy. I would also like to know if it is possible to dynamically use profiles that vary the proxychain in relation to the situation. Thank you. --- 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] Rip DVDs
by Paul Groves 02 Jul '16

02 Jul '16

Hi, has anyone found a program that can rip dvds in full quality? (Like magic dvd ripper in windows) On magic DVD ripper you just put the disc in, choose a title to rip and a destination and go. Is there a program like this on linux? (Or a command to achieve the same thing)? I would prefer to rip to mkv I have tried handbrake VLC acid rip k3b and k9copy but the videos always come out with interlacing lines or the bitrate is fixed. (same issues on ubuntu as well) This is the only thing my linux install(s) currently cannot do that windows can. Would be nice to be able to uninstall windows 10 and free up the space on my disk.

[opensuse] leap42.1 - alt-tab not working drives me up the wall
by Per Jessen 02 Jul '16

02 Jul '16

I've more or less made it a habit to work on Leap42.1 for at least 2 hours a week. For testing (also my patience). Does anyone have an issue with alt-tab only "sort of" working? Sometimes it is ignored, sometimes I have to try three times. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (24.0°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - dedicated server rental in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] 4K QFHD laptop experience?
by Lew Wolfgang 01 Jul '16

01 Jul '16

Hi Folks, I have a customer who says they need a 17-inch 4K QFHD (3840x2160) laptop. Defer for a minute discussion that this is a wise choice in the first place, does anyone have any experience with Leap working on a 4K display? It would probably have an Nvidia Geforce GTX 98M frame buffer. It would also have 64-GB of RAM.
