[opensuse] Can't get closed captions with handbrake
by Anton Aylward 27 Jul '16

27 Jul '16

I'm trying to put some of my DVDs onto a chip for my tablet so that I can watch them on the long boring trips to offices, conferences and other destination. I'm using handbrake-gtk, the GUI for this. Its a nice tool, pretty fast. Some of the DVDs transcribe OK. OK being that I include the closed captions. Yes I know about headphones, sorry, that's not enough when when I find my hearing aids are hurting from wearing them too long. Or when I turn them off so as 'suppress extraneous noise'. But some DVDs don't seem to result in the CCs being there. Same settings as others (thanks to the 'save setting' mechanism). On some, the 'subtitles' just give the chapter number as text. unhelpful. This is puzzling because if I play the DVD from the drive using the same tools - I prefer SMplayer since it has easy skip-back - the closed captions are there. A few observations: The "add closed captions when available" checkbox in "subtitle defaults" tab won't stay clicked, but that hold true for the DVD where I do get CC, so I'm not sure of its significance. The above is true even if I change the 'preferred language' from "Any" to "English". Under the 'subtitle list' tab I've tried adding 'English (closed caption}', the plain "Closed Caption", and 'all', each in turn. Yes the options for 'eng' do appear in Smlayer under the 'subtitles' section when I try playing it, but they do not appear as they do when I play the DVD directly using smplayer. Somehow, with some DVDs, handbrake is not trascoding the closed captions. I'm puzzled as to why. -- 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] raid error: mdadm: Found some drive for an array that is already active
by Istvan Gabor 27 Jul '16

27 Jul '16

Hello: This is on openSUSE 13.1. I use mdraid with several raid1 (mirror) arrays. I played with one of the arrays and now I can't assemble the array. mdadm -A /dev/md111 /dev/sda7 /dev/sdb7 mdadm: ignoring /dev/sdb7 as it reports /dev/sda7 as failed mdadm: /dev/md111 has been started with 1 drive (out of 2). What does it mean that sdb7 reports sda7 as failed? I tried to assemble sdb7 as a different array: mdadm -A -R /dev/md112 /dev/sdb7 mdadm: Found some drive for an array that is already active: /dev/md111 mdadm: giving up. What does this mean? proc/mdstat gives: md111 : active raid1 sda7[2] 31455164 blocks super 1.0 [2/1] [U_] Why I can't then assemble sdb7 to md112? What I'd like to do now is: Assemble /dev/sda7 to one array and /dev/sdb7 to another array. Mount the two arrays separately to different mount points then compare the contents of the arrays. Synchronize the content if necesary, unmount arrays, and finally reassemble the original array (/dev/md7) with the two drives (dev/sda7 and /dev/sdb7). How can I do that? There is another strange problem: ff I assemble an array it gets mounted automatically. Why? In case of a degraded array with one drive only this can ruin the array. Why is the array mounted automatically upon assembly? It should be only mounted (automatically) on running mount -a and at boot.

[opensuse] Leap: What packages do I need to install for kernel stable?
by stakanov＠freenet.de 27 Jul '16

27 Jul '16

I am running Leap with encrypted LVM (EXT4). Now, following indications of a bug report I have to install tentatively the kernel stable (which is now 4.7 something). I selected the base package. But trying to boot I get a failing cryptsetup due apparently to dependency error. I really do not recall any more if I have to install supplemental packages for running kernel stable with leap. If anybody could give me a short refresher telling me what package I am missing, I would be grateful. --- Alle Postfächer an einem Ort.

[opensuse] Status of FreeIPA-support?
by Bjoern Voigt 27 Jul '16

27 Jul '16

Is anyone using or maintaining FreeIPA on openSUSE? At first I was glad to see the openSUSE FreeIPA portal: https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:FreeIPA But there are no installable FreeIPA packages besides a Perl helper package (perl-Net-FreeIPA). FreeIPA on build service is broken: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/network/freeipa Greetings, Björn -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

To tell the truth, everything will depend on what you do. I encountered no problem with email and with the office (actually the 5.0 libre office of Leap is far more efficient than the 4.x of 13.2. Screensaver has some trouble (but not so many). Depends also on your hardware, with Intel chip-set it is quite o.k. ATI also, with nvidia you have some quirks AFAIK. Blender should work fine on both.

[opensuse] Grub 2 question: can I configure a default entry?
by Carlos E. R. 25 Jul '16

25 Jul '16

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I have finally upgraded my main hard disk, grom 500GB to 2000GB. So I had to also migrate my 13.1 system with grub1 to a GPT disk. Worked fine. The problem is elsewhere. The computer is oldish, BIOS only. The main disk is GPT. The protective MBR has "Syslinux GPTMBR (4.04-5.01)", which boots the partition that has the flag legacy_boot. In that partition there is a grub 2 boot system pertaining to a Leap 42.1 install. This system, instead of automatically generating entries for other systems, has manual entries in /boot/grub2/custom.cfg like: menuentry 'Main (with uuid)' { insmod part_gpt insmod ext2 set root='hd0,gpt5' if search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root e99d9dcb-869d-4a24-94cf-cba32f169b8d ; then chainloader +1 else echo Could not find this OS instance, will not boot (3) sleep 1 fi } (thanks to Andrei Borzenkov and others for setting up that idea) So that the menu writes entries to the boot screen (from memory) like these: Leap 42.1 Advanced options for Leap Main (with uuid) 11.4 (with uuid) etc. Well, the question is whether it is possible to change the default entry, which now is the first line (automatically generated) to the third one (manually generated).

[opensuse] most fonts not available in libreOffice
by Daniel Bauer 24 Jul '16

24 Jul '16

Hi, I am here on leap 42.1, KDE 5, Libre Office Version: 5.1.3.2 Most of my system-wide installed fonts do not appear in the fonts dialog of libreOffice. I can use all fonts in Gimp, Digikam etc., but not in libreOffice. I have all fonts installed as System fonts, none in personal fonts. Under 13.2 I could use all fonts in libreOffice, too. Is there a way to get my fonts work in this program? I am missing most basic fonts like Helvetica etc., fonts I once bought from adobe... Thanks for your help.

[opensuse] How can I set a GPT partition flag?
by Carlos E. R. 24 Jul '16

24 Jul '16

Hi, Seeing that I can not select a predefined boot entry of my choice in grub2 (see thread "Grub 2 question: can I configure a default entry?", I have an alternate method possible: Gestor:~ # parted /dev/sda print Model: ATA ST2000DM001-1CH1 (scsi) Disk /dev/sda: 2000GB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/4096B Partition Table: gpt Disk Flags: Number Start End Size File system Name Flags 1 1049kB 8389kB 7340kB primary bios_grub 2 8389kB 21.5GB 21.5GB ext4 primary legacy_boot 3 21.5GB 37.6GB 16.1GB linux-swap(v1) primary 4 37.6GB 38.7GB 1078MB ext2 primary 5 38.7GB 39.7GB 1077MB ext2 primary Change the "legacy_boot" flag to partition 5 or back when needed. I just have to find a command that does that easily, on the command line. man parted: set partition flag state Change the state of the flag on partition to state. Supported flags are: "boot", "root", "swap", "hidden", "raid", "lvm", "lba", "legacy_boot", "irst" and "palo". state should be either "on" or "off". So I think it would be: parted /dev/sda set 5 on But I get: Gestor:~ # parted /dev/sda set 5 on parted: invalid token: on Flag to Invert? ^C Gestor:~ # I see no examples in the man page. Ideas? -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

[opensuse] UEFI Recommendations?
by John Andersen 22 Jul '16

22 Jul '16

Building a new mini-server on a Gigabyte Motherboard (GA-J1900N-D3V)that has both Legacy and UEFI support. Will maybe have software raid mirrored drives, two network interfaces, and handle mail and firewall/routing. Did a test install in Legacy mode to find out if all the hardware works, and am satisfied that it does what I need for it to do. Before I get too committed to this machine I might want to install in UEFI mode for whatever protections it might offer against getting hacked. Which would be wiser, stick with old legacy, or install in UEFI Mode. Any experiences? and recommendations? Is OpenSUSE handling all aspects of UEFI well these days? Are upgrades a pain? -- After all is said and done, more is said than done. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
