[opensuse] K3b (Version 2.9.90+git20160111.2358-11.7-x86_64 - packman) and ISO burning
by ianseeks 17 Jul '16

17 Jul '16

HI I've been trying to burn a iso of Windows 7 i downloaded but it just opens the window to say its its preparing and the progress does not go any further than 0%. It has caused some strange performance issues. if i load system monitor, it shows "kuiserver" upto 30%+ cpu and i've also had a systemd_coredump (i think that was what it was called). I've sometimes had to use Ctrl Backspace to kill the session to log out. I was just wondering if anyone else is having this problems with this version from packman.

[opensuse] cannot open KDE session anymore
by Frédéric Bron 17 Jul '16

17 Jul '16

Hi, I cannot open a KDE session anymore. I enter my login+password and then nothing happens, the computer is blocked. With Ctrl+Alt+F1, I can switch to text mode root session and see that the following processes are running for my user account: systemd, (sd-pam), dbus-laun..., dbus-daem..., at-spi-bu..., dbus-daem..., at-spi2-r... What does that mean? The other accounts work well. Regards, Frédéric -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] external speakers OK in 13.1, 13.2, TW; but NOT in 42.1
by Felix Miata 17 Jul '16

17 Jul '16

SFF Dell Optiplex 780 has an internal speaker that's supposed to work only if the external speaker jack is not occupied. It works as expected in 13.1, 13.2, TW installed to HD, and in Knoppix 7.6.1 DVD with kernel 4.2.6. 42.1 behaves as though the external speaker jack is not occupied, producing sound from aplay and speaker-test only from the internal speaker, not loud enough to hear unless nothing else in the room is making any sound, and then barely so. This is so with 42.1 kernels 4.1.15, 4.1.21 and 4.1.27, and with TW's 4.6.3 kernel. Content of /etc/modprobe.d/ seems to be identical between TW and 42.1 except that 42.1 has a 50-sound.conf file that TW does not, which if present during boot, causes no such device-type errors trying to use speaker-test and aplay with no parameters, and changes output of /proc/asound/cards to 1 instead of 0. VOODOO - making 50-sound.conf visible, rebooting, testing with -Dplughw:1 made external speakers work. Then removing 50-sound.conf visibility and rebooting again, made sound work one boot with either -Dplughw:0 or no option at all. Then I removed the TW kernel, rebooted, and found it was back to using the internal speaker. Next I tried configuring the sound card with Yast's quick automatic method. It created a new 50-sound.conf file. I rebooted. No change, so I redid it with normal setup method. Sound remains on the internal speaker. Besides creating 50-sound.conf, what did Yast actually do. How does one proceed to find a solution? Is this a case for filing a bug? http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/SUSE/421/ contains: 1: alsa-info-gx780-s421.txt is output from alsa-info.sh with output of 'lsmod | grep snd' and a selected short list of installed sound rpms appended 2: http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/SUSE/421/snd-gx780-stwk3.txt contains from TW: a.list of files in /etc/modprobe.d b.aplay -l output c.aplay -v /usr/share/sounds/alsa/text.wav 3: http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/SUSE/421/snd-gx780-s421tde.txt contains from 42.1: d.list of files in /etc/modprobe.d e.content of /etc/modprobe.d/50-sound.conf f.aplay -l output g.aplay -v /usr/share/sounds/alsa/text.wav -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

[opensuse] xrdp server questions
by Greg Freemyer 16 Jul '16

16 Jul '16

All, I do 80% of my openSUSE work at the command line the last few years, so I have little X/KDE/Gnome experience. What little GUI activity I have is in openSUSE VMs that I use to experiment with and none of it remote. I setup a Leap 42.2 test machine with nice new desktop PC hardware.. I decided to access it via RDP from my windows laptop. After installing the xrdp server and starting the service, it is working great in general. The only surprises so far are: - I can log into the machine with multiple simultaneous logins (3 at once so far). I can login as me at the main console, and from 2 Windows PCs simultaneously. Each login is unique. That is perfectly fine. - Among those 3 concurrent login sessions, I can only launch one instance of Firefox total. If I try to launch it from a second session I get an error: ("Firefox is already running and is not responding ...."). Is that a long-term well known bug? Or is it a bug unique to Leap 42.2? - I keep getting a dialog box asking for the root password. It seems related to a background check for security updates. "Authorization is required to refresh the system sources." The application's vendor is "The PackageKit Project". It provides PIDs too if that is helpful. Is that just because I'm using XRDP, or is there a bug?

[opensuse] Cura and Repetier for SuSE 13.1 ? Other 3D printer software with SuSE 13.1?
by MarkusGMX 16 Jul '16

16 Jul '16

I was trying to put Cura ( https://ultimaker.com/en/products/cura-software ) onto my SuSE 13.1 system, found out that there is only a fedora rpm thing, had to install mock from fedora, just to finally realise that it all fails because of missing createrepo_c which is not available for SuSE 13.1 according to https://software.opensuse.org/package/createrepo_c :-( Is there any way to get official packages for Cura and Repetier for SuSE 13.1 ? (I've only seen untrusted versions here: https://software.opensuse.org/package/Cura ) Which other 3D printer software can I use with SuSE 13.1 ? Thx in advance ME -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Building a mid-range desktop PC - lower cost MB/CPU/video solution?
by Greg Freemyer 15 Jul '16

15 Jul '16

All, By chance, I've built a couple high-end tower PCs in the last year. $1500-$2500 each Now I want to build one closer to $500, but I want to have as much commonality as makes sense. Definitely the same case for cosmetic reasons. I'm hoping I can save a lot of money in the CPU/video selection, and also I will use a lot less RAM this time. == The $500 desire doesn't include a HDD/SDD. (I've got spare SSDs I can use, and I just ordered a small NVMe SSD to experiment with, so I won't count it in this budget if this is where it ends up permanently.) I don't need screaming speed, etc. and I'm happy with the cheapest graphics solution I can get. These are the core components I bought last time: Termaltake V51 case - $100 (mandatory for this build. I want it to look the same.) AsRock X99 MB - $175 (It would be very nice to use again, but not mandatory.) i7-5820K 3.3GHz - $370 (don't need) Asus Radeon RT 360 - $120 (don't need) === Is there a reasonable cost CPU w/integrated graphics that I can use with the X99? Or is there a different MB/CPU/Video solution I should consider that might be closer to $200 combined?

[opensuse] Simple SRs to include docs from the tarball in the RPM

As you say, not something I worry about. RE: large disks - SSDs are becoming the norm and even 125 GB is over $50, so for me space is becoming important again on some of my machines.

SR => Submit Request To modify a readme you have to do a SR: ===== One time setup === - via web browser login into build.opensuse.org (with your normal bugzilla creds) When you do that that first time your home project is setup. You only have to do that once, but you MUST do it before you can do anything from the command line, etc. - from your openSUSE CLI sudo zypper in osc quilt mkdir ~/obs (Or whatever top level dir you want to use. I like obs for this) osc ls Archiving (answer questions about creds) Archiving is just a relatively small project that is easy to list out, but it won't work until you have your home project and credentials setup. ==== End of one time setup ==== - from your openSUSE CLI cd ~/obs (or whatever you named your top level working dir) osc bco <package> # by default the above: # - determines the devel project for the package # - creates a new sub-project in your home project to hold the branch # - branches a copy of the package from the devel project to the new sub-project # note the name of the sub-project that this command created ls # verify the new directory was created cd <new_project_dir> ls # verify a directory exists for the package you want to work on cd <package> # to edit an existing README.suse (etc.) vi README.suse osc vc (to create a changelog describing your edit) osc diff (to confirm you've made the changes you want) osc commit (commits the changes back to YOUR sub-project on the server) osc sr (send the change to devel project maintainer) Once your SR is accepted, you can delete the sub-project.

[opensuse] Packet update dependencies
by Bjarne Hansen 15 Jul '16

15 Jul '16

Once more, I get a message that an update is available, and among it a security update. When I click on it, it says "a package depencency failed". This happens quite frequently, and recently I had to wait about 3 weeks, before I could update properly, as KDE 5.6 kmail was broken, to the point of being unusable. Can't you set a stricter rule, that when an update is uploaded, that it can only be uploaded if all it's depencies exist there? //Bjarne -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Playing with apache.
by Carlos E. R. 15 Jul '16

15 Jul '16

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I'm trying to setup a local apache server to serve a mirror of some repos. In httpd.conf.local I have written: <Directory /data/waterhoard/mirrors> Options FollowSymLinks Indexes Includes AllowOverride All IndexOptions FancyIndexing \ ScanHTMLTitles \ NameWidth=* \ FoldersFirst order deny,allow deny from all allow from localhost .valinor 192.168.1.51 192.168.1.52 </Directory> However, browsing to "http://localhost/data/waterhoard/mirrors" produces error 404, Object not found! The directory in the filesystem is indeed correct. However, I have the file /srv/www/htdocs/index.html, which contains: <a href="/ficheros/mirrors" title="Mirrors">[Mirrors]</a> <br> which works, combined with this definition: <Directory /srv/www/htdocs/ficheros> Options FollowSymLinks Indexes Includes AllowOverride All IndexOptions FancyIndexing \ ScanHTMLTitles \ NameWidth=* \ DescriptionWidth=* \ SuppressLastModified \ SuppressSize order deny,allow deny from all allow from localhost .valinor 192.168.1.51 192.168.1.52 </Directory> There is this directory structure: /srv/www/htdocs /ficheros ~mirrors -> /data/waterhoard/mirrors What would be the correct structure so that: "http://localhost/data/waterhoard/mirrors" works, or even better, "http://localhost/mirrors" The later I think should be just an alias, but first I must make the prior http request to work. - -- Cheers Carlos E.
