[opensuse] reducing wifi use of bandwith
by Constant Brouerius van Nidek 10 Sep '16

10 Sep '16

For my main use of my router I use the cable connection via a switch. Three computers are connected in this way. A fourth cable forms the connection to wifi which I put there for my guests. No guest at the moment I have allowed two neighboring boys to use my wifi. They are the only ones close enough to make use of the wifi. Due to the very low connection speed to the internet, 1,4 Mbps download and 0,54 Mbps upload, I have now regularly problems with the normal use of the internet. Could I reduce their internet us (the wifi connections) to say 30% of the actual total capacity of my internet connection in those cases that I am downloading bigger updates etc.? I can of course just kill the wifi part by using the on off switch but that does not seem the way to go. -- Qt: 5.6.1 KDE Frameworks: 5.25.0 kf5-config: 1.0 KDE Plasma: 5.7.4 Kernel: 4.7.2-2-default opensuse:tumbleweed:20160907 Linux User 183145 working on a Pentium IV . -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] g-exec error quark message when running a virtualized OS in KVM trying to use USB
by stakanov＠freenet.de 10 Sep '16

10 Sep '16

I have to set up a machine with Leap as KVM host and Win7 as KVM guest. The Win has to do nearly nothing only running a scanner. But I cannot join the scanner (or any usb storage or any usb) with the error message being: g-exec-error-quark: Could not redirect Canon CanoScan [04a9:2229] at 9-6: Esecuzione del processo figlio "/usr/bin//spice-client-glib-usb-acl-helper" non riuscita (File o directory non esistente) (8) The user running Virt manager of KVM is member of the group users, kvm, quemu and libvirt. So permissions should be O.K? Do I have to install supplemental software in the guest or is there a known bug, that can be worked around? The problem appears with: default hyper visor settings, usb2 and usb3 setting no matter what. Otherwise the guest runs well, has a working internet bridge and appears well set up. Permissions of the guest are "normal" security. Any idea what could be done? The scanner and all other devices appear normally in the selection list. Any selection causes this respective error. Running Leap 42.1 standard with KDE. All very standard. --- 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

My office is in business district of Atlanta. They just replaced the sidewalk in front of us. I asked the guys doing the work who was paying for it and they said it was part of the Google Fiber project. Whoop!

[opensuse] What version of openSUSE will run on a Pentium 3?
by Dave Plater 09 Sep '16

09 Sep '16

I'm trying to turn a P3 computer with 128M ram into an nfs server so as I can access my pata drives. I made an os on suse studio based on 13.2 but it goes into a kernel panic as soon as the kernel starts.

[opensuse] No LXDE in 42.2 Beta ?
by Roger Price 08 Sep '16

08 Sep '16

I am trying to install 42.2 Beta using the NET install CD, but when I get to "Desktop Selection", I cannot find LXDE as included in previous releases. Is openSUSE abandoning LXDE?

[opensuse] What syslog daemon
by Carlos E. R. 08 Sep '16

08 Sep '16

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, In this machine (13.1) I use rsyslog. Some years ago I used syslog-ng. I find rsyslog problematic when finding errors in the config file, it fails to point at the exact error. what do you think is currently better, rsyslog or syslog-ng? (No, I do not like systemd journal. I disable it) - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.

[opensuse] 42.1 versus 42.2
by jdd 06 Sep '16

06 Sep '16

Hello, I will have pretty soon to build a new openSUSE server (before the end of September). What do you recommended, using 42.1 (knowing I will have to update to 42.2 in less than 6 month) or directly 42.2 beta? I have to use mostly apache2 (with pmwiki and piwigo), postfix, dovecot, roundcube. the server is not critical (can stop for some hours without harm, but preferably not for days in case of bug). this may also be seen as: "how difficult will be the update from 42.1 to 42.2?" thanks jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Display manager with network manager (Wifi/VPN) functions?
by Bjoern Voigt 05 Sep '16

05 Sep '16

In Windows it is possible to start a VPN before login. I may need this for users who want to login into a corporate active directory. Now I want to do the same for openSUSE clients. I know, that's possible to start a Wifi connection and a VPN during boot with SystemD. But it's not ideal, because especially the Wifi settings may change for different locations. Selectable Wifi and VPN profiles before login would be better. Are there any display managers with network manager (Wifi, VPN) functions? If not, what is a feasible alternative strategy for mobile notebook users?

[opensuse] photo management on leap
by Dave Howorth 04 Sep '16

04 Sep '16

I just got around to start using my Leap box to manage my photos. But I'm rapidly getting frustrated and would appreciate any help. I'm aware that these issues are likely to do with individual applications, but I'd appreciate the best ways to make my views known to those application devs as well as Leap packagers, if relevant. But of course, best of all would be for somebdy to explain how to deal with these issues by better understanding the programs. My first annoyance was gimp. It seems to have decided that when I open a jpg, I haven't 'opened' it, I have 'imported' it. More practically annoying is that when I select part of a jpg image and try to save it, it doesn't. It tries to save some xcf thing and I have to 'export' to a jpg. Which wouldn't be too bad except it still keeps the image status as unsaved, giving me one more piece of information I have to hold in my head instead of having the computer remember the obvious stuff for me. So how do I open a jpg, cut a bit out of it, and save that as jpg with least grief? My second annoyance is photo management. I use LXDE, not KDE and not Gnome. I use a couple of photo managers for different purposes. Tonight I'm experimenting with the use where I've historically used f-spot. So my first guess was to use shotwell. But I'm stuck at the first hurdle. It apparently can import f-spot data, but it seems to expect me to know where that is. I don't; why can't it find it? Plus (a) it keeps wingeing about dconf not working and (b) the help won't popup because it tries to launch firefox and it doesn't have permission (and I'm not going to give it permission!). So any advice on how to drive shotwell, particularly importing an f-spot database, or where to find help, or alternative programs that could be a substitute would be gratefully received. The other program I sometimes use is digikam, but that tends to annoy me so I haven't tried to use that yet.
