[opensuse] pam auth and own password file.
by josef Karliak 10 Jan '17

10 Jan '17

Hi there, is there possible to set up PAM to search for users and passwords in another file, for example "/etc/external_accounts" ? With 3DES password's hash...

[opensuse] zypper and a couple RPMs
by Roger Oberholtzer 10 Jan '17

10 Jan '17

I have a strange issue with zypper and RPMS from OBS. At first I thought it was related to the aarch64 repos I was using. Now I see the same files have problems on other openSUSE versions when zypper is trying to retrieve them. What happens is that most all of the file is downloaded. But the download status stays at 99% for a bit, and then zypper fails and wants to to retry the download. It never succeeds. It is always the same files that fail from different zypper clients: http://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/oss/suse/noarch/kernel-firmwar… http://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/oss/suse/noarch/php5-ZendFrame… So, I downloaded them in my browser (on the same computer where zypper is failing) and that works. The files are probably okay. So, I thought I would put the files in /var/cache/zypp/packages/repo-oss/suse/noarch so the files would not need to be retrieved again. All the other files waiting to be installed are there, and zypper does not try to get those again. Seems just adding these files here does not make zypper see them. I guess that's too easy. It tries to retrieve them again. Is there any way to get zypper to use these files instead of trying to download them again? In one case I am doing a zypper dup from 13.1 to Tumbleweed. So there are thousands of files involved. Getting the dup to ignore needing these files seems like it would cause other issues.

[opensuse] android device backup
by Istvan Gabor 09 Jan '17

09 Jan '17

Hello: Is it possible to backup a whole android file system to an openSUSE linux computer? The net is full of sites explaining how to do android tablet or phone backup to PC but those mostly apply to backing up some of the data only. I would like to make a copy of the whole file system of a cell phone to my openSUSE computer. I would like: -backup/copy the whole file system -use cable connection between android device and computer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] gnome-boxes on Leap 42.2
by Tibor Attila Anca 09 Jan '17

Hi, me again. I regularly try new distros with gnome-boxes (it is enough for a first glance), but on Leap 42.2 there is no iso I could start as a virtual machine. Here is the console output of gnome-boxes (currently I only have a netinstall iso of debian testing...): (gnome-boxes:3238): Boxes-CRITICAL **: libvirt-machine.vala:143: Failed to fetch configuration for domain 'boxes-unknown': Unable to get domain XML config: Domain not fo und: no domain with matching uuid 'bd9ed773-47e2-4798-b462- e160b121ff30' (boxes-unknown) (gnome-boxes:3238): Boxes-WARNING **: machine.vala:606: Failed to start debian-stretch-DI-alpha8-amd64-netinst: Unable to start domain: internal error: process exited wh ile connecting to monitor: uhci2,masterbus=usb.0,firstport=2,bus=pci.0,addr=0x6.0x1 -device ich9- usb-uhci3,masterbus=usb.0,firstport=4,bus=pci.0,addr=0x6.0x2 -device vir tio-serial-pci,id=virtio-serial0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x5 -device usb- ccid,id=ccid0 -drive file=/home/tibor/.local/share/gnome- boxes/images/boxes-unknown,format=qcow2,if=none, id=drive-ide0-0-0,cache=writeback -device ide- hd,bus=ide.0,unit=0,drive=drive-ide0-0-0,id=ide0-0-0,bootindex=2 -drive file=/home/tibor/Downloads/debian-stretch-DI-alpha8 -amd64-netinst.iso,format=raw,if=none,id=drive-ide0-1-0,readonly=on -device ide-cd,bus=ide.1,unit=0,drive=drive-ide0-1-0,id=ide0-1- 0,bootindex=1 -netdev user,id=hostnet0 -device rtl8139,netdev=hostnet0,id=net0,mac=52:54:00:e4:05:3f,bus=pci.0,addr=0x 3 -chardev spicevmc,id=charsmartcard0,name=smartcard -device ccid-card- passthru,chardev=c harsmartcard0,id=smartcard0,bus=ccid0.0 -chardev pty,id=charserial0 -device isa-serial,chardev=charserial0,id=serial0 -chardev spicevmc,id=charchannel0,name=vda Since I am only a user of boxes, I do not have any idea what this means.

[opensuse] Communication with wireless printer
by Tibor Attila Anca 09 Jan '17

09 Jan '17

Hi, I have a Brother MFC-J615W. It would run and do its job flawlessly with the most different linux distros, but with the recent opensuse leap 42.2 I just couldn't use it as wireless printer and scanner. I always install the drivers from Brother's website and I also payed attention to some specific dependencies (issues on an 64 bit system with i386 drivers). The drivers would install correctly and the printer/scanner can be configured, but I cannot reach the device over w-lan. My workaround is now a lan cable (and this fine, no big deal), but I would still appreciate any hint, what a I may have missed with my considerations. Thanks, -- Tibor I use OpenSource!

[opensuse] Question about 42.1 to 42.2 update
by stakanov＠freenet.de 09 Jan '17

09 Jan '17

The machine has several repos aktivated (that are as it seems available in their 42.2 version). It has Nivida proprietary driver and is 64 bit. Is it sufficient to run zypper dup with all corresponding repos changed to have a soft migration experience? Where do I run it? In a window or in tty1? Before restarting, should I run manually mkinitrd or should this be automatic after install? Thank you in advance. --- Die Bundesliga hat begonnen!

[opensuse] CUPS is doing something strange

However my knowledge on CUPS internals is limited. I'm just thinking of what a (passive) server would be doing. That I can't account for it doesn't bother me so much. Its a brother laser printer, a HL5170DM, and has never given me any technical problems. This is not a showstoper of a problem, but I do wonder why there is all this network traffic and if I've possibly made a configuration error that is causing it and that the configuration error is somehow limiting or wasteful in other ways. -- 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] Substitute for sddm
by stakanov 08 Jan '17

08 Jan '17

What substitute one can install for sddm. This is a local computer. No network functionality other than on the very machine (however multiuser mode) is needed. What would be a candidate? (excluding KDM). Reason is an apparent incompatibility with the serial kernel 4.4. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
