[opensuse] Repair of XFS fails
by Anton Aylward 26 Aug '16

26 Aug '16

I'm slowly working my way though putting my DVDs on to disk and hence USB so I can watch them on my tablet. For the most part I use handbrake. Nice UI. Some DVDs, though, handbrake doesn't seem to want to deal with. Some DVDs take it like that; I don't now why. I was stuck in a recent movie, "Jurassic World". it a 2hr, 5 min movie. Handbrake scans it and then ... nothing. So I turn to VLC, which ... well it play the menu. I set VLC to rip the mive. it rips that one part, the menu, over and over and over. It never modes past it. So I break out of VLC and delete the 3.6M, just grown to 3.7 ... 3.8 ov that over-and-over but not the main movie. I try VLC again but with a starting point of "1" rather than "0". It hangs. It hangs the whole machine. Rebook I get an error. Its the mounted ~/MyMovies, which is an XFS. Oh, <deleted>!. There goes this mornings work. I try xfs_repair with a few options such as verbose, progressively more aggressive about it. Xfs_repair says its all OK. Mounting says: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/mapper/vgmain-MyMovies, missing codepage or helper program, or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so. That's a pretty standard message. The dmesg|tail says [ 4475.435209] XFS (dm-20): Mounting V5 Filesystem [ 4475.489498] XFS (dm-20): Corruption warning: Metadata has LSN (1:5500) ahead of current LSN (1:2). Please unmount and run xfs_repair (>= v4.3) to resolve. [ 4475.489503] XFS (dm-20): log mount/recovery failed: error -22 [ 4475.489537] XFS (dm-20): log mount failed Iterating xfs_repair & mount is of no joy. I'd chose XFS on advice here to deal with big files, aka movies. I'm not happy with the result I've ended up with. Is there anyone more knowledgeable about XFS recovery? -- 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] Authentication failed
by James Knott 26 Aug '16

On two 13.1 systems, I'm getting error messages popping up: "Authorization failed Failed to check for authentication: GDBus.Error.org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1.Error.Failed: Action org.freedesktop.packagekit.system-sources-refresh is not registered. These errors started today and I have no idea where they're coming from. There's nothing listed in Yast Software Repositories that matches this. However, a Google search turned up this: https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/511012-uid-1000-failed-to-obtain… Any idea? tnx jk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] "IPv4: martian source" Error Messages in Journal
by fastcpu 25 Aug '16

25 Aug '16

When connected to a VPN via OpenVPN, I am getting these messages when viewing journalctl, and they occur every few minutes: Aug 21 19:01:24 linux-6uhj kernel: IPv4: martian source 192.168.1.5 from 1.1.1.1, on dev enp7s0 Aug 21 19:01:24 linux-6uhj kernel: ll header: 00000000: ff ff ff ff ff ff b8 a3 86 57 78 f5 08 06 .........Wx... I have tried researching on Google what IPv4: martian source means and have not came up with much information, besides not to turn off Marian Source logging because if you ever do get attacked you want it on. How would I go about figuring out what these errors mean and how to stop them? They don't seem to happen when not connected to the VPN.

[opensuse] kwrite: how to easily save txt file to remote server using dolphon/fish
by Daniel Bauer 24 Aug '16

24 Aug '16

Hi, for small changes I used to open the directory on my webserver with dolphin/fish, then open the file with kwrite, add the changes, save, done. But now "save file" or ctrl-s does nothing, except removing the * (signal that file was changed) from the window title, although it actually wasn't saved. Only when I close kwrite it asks me if I want to upload the changes. I never had this strange behavior on 13.2. Is that one of the new "backwards-features" of leap/kde5 and can one generally not easily use local kwrite for remote files anymore? Just as it lost it's ability of spell checking? Or can I change a setting somewhere so that kwrite behaves normal again? Thanks for hints! Daniel <rant> (Sorry for the annoyed tone. But since I installed this leap thing I more and more get the impression that some key developers must be paid by microsoft or apple to annoy people away from linux. So many things that worked for years simply do not exist anymore. Is linux already part of the past?) </rant> -- Daniel Bauer photographer Basel Barcelona http://www.daniel-bauer.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] where did .xsession-errors' content go in TW?
by Felix Miata 24 Aug '16

24 Aug '16

On some installations (e.g. TW/KDE3 host hpg33), there's no sign of anything like it in journalctl, in fact, nothing from journalctl ever shows up anywhere in /var/log/, and nothing I can find in ~/, while on (most TW) others, ~/.xsession-errors is still being produced. Google doesn't seem to have any useful clues to offer. There are some references to ~/.local/share/ but I couldn't find any Xorg-related content there. Problems I expect (because on TW hosts that produce .xsession-errors there are plenty) to find clues to in .xsession-errors: 1-why right click context menu for desktop does not exist 2-why systemsettings for desktop wallpaper doesn't put any wallpaper on the desktop 3-why systemsettings for display power save is ignored (~5 minutes to blanking instead of 120 minutes) -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

[opensuse] how to get systemd.status messages to all consoles?
by Ruediger Meier 23 Aug '16

23 Aug '16

Hi, I'm using these kernel paramters: ... console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200 ... and get kernel messages and login prompt on both consoles. But the status messages ([OK] started bla ...) appear only on the first specified console. How could I tell systemd to print them on ttyS0 too? cu, Rudi -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
