[opensuse] HP printer Leap 42.2
by michael norman 01 Mar '17

01 Mar '17

My HP D2300 usb printer has worked for many years. It is attached to one of my two pcs and shared between the two. This worked fine up to 13.2 but I cannot get 42.2 to share the printer. Sharing fails in Yast whereas it worked up to 13.2, when I try to sahre it using the CUPS interface I am not offered adminstrator settings (I always used my root password for this hitherto) so cannot change the settings to share the printer. All of this works on Linux Mint 18.1 fwiw. Is there a known fix for this ?

[opensuse] fyi only - out of memory with 128GB of RAM!
by Greg Freemyer 20 Feb '17

20 Feb '17

All, I just thought this was worth sharing. I've got the 128GB RAM PC I built up last spring (much discussion on this list). I don't have a swap space setup because who could ever use that much RAM. The OOM background tool just kicked in and killed one of my tasks! Top agrees and says I only have 10GB of RAM free (after killing my task). Setting up swap space now!

[opensuse] How to grep a save command in order to save the complete output of hwinfo to a txt file?
by stakanov 10 Feb '17

10 Feb '17

I have to put the complete hwinfo from the cli to a txt outputfile. I recall I can do this somehow with grep, but all the web resources speak about long scripts. Notwithstanding, I recall, a very simple command can do this. If somebody is knowledgeable I would appreciate. Seasonal greetings. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

Hi, I see scripts in "/usr/lib/systemd/system-sleep/". What would be the right place to add my own scripts? A pointer to reading about them? -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)

[opensuse] setting up mysql error
by george from the tribe 02 Feb '17

02 Feb '17

Ok, so I used the following procedure https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:LAMP_setup to set up an apache2 web server, then php7, and then the mysql server with mariadb. Following that procedure in the SDB, it ran great, I was able to set up a small database, connect to it and edit it with phpmyadmin, and was pretty happy with it. Of course, there is one problem with that setup, and that is that it installs all the database files in the root partition. The SDB doesn't give any guidelines for how to move the database to my home partition, which is where I want it to be. So, I tried to move things on my own, and I am sure I messed something up. The directory where the database was installed at first was here: /var/lib/mysql And the directory that had the apache2 web server and phpmyadmin was here: /srv/www/htdocs Also, there was a file, /etc/my.cnf, in which you could change the location of the database. So here is what I did - I shutdown thy mysql service with systemctl stop mysql Then I went into /etc/my.cnf and put in this line where it says to in the file: # Remove leading # if you want to store your database elsewhere datadir = /home/george/FaithWiringDB/dbproj/mysql Then I copied the mysql files from /var/lib/mysql over to /home/george/FaithWiringDB/dbproj/mysql at first I changed the permissions to george:users, but that didn't work so I changed them back to root:root Now, when I tried to do systemctl start mysql.service, it won't start. # systemctl start mysql.service Job for mysql.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status mysql.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details. And here is the error I get: # systemctl status -l mysql ● mysql.service - MySQL server Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/mysql.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled) Active: activating (start-post) (Result: exit-code) since Tue 2017-01-31 15:45:43 PHT; 26s ago Process: 15402 ExecStart=/usr/lib/mysql/mysql-systemd-helper start (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) Process: 15388 ExecStartPre=/usr/lib/mysql/mysql-systemd-helper upgrade (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Process: 15375 ExecStartPre=/usr/lib/mysql/mysql-systemd-helper install (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Main PID: 15402 (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE); : 15403 (mysql-systemd-h) Tasks: 2 (limit: 512) CGroup: /system.slice/mysql.service └─control ├─15403 /bin/bash /usr/lib/mysql/mysql-systemd-helper wait └─15488 sleep 1 Jan 31 15:45:43 facofficeeng02 systemd[1]: Starting MySQL server...

[opensuse] Settings to have wifi up and running after boot
by Albert, Oszkó 01 Feb '17

01 Feb '17

Hi all, This is a long standing problem for me. Now I have an ASUS K501 UX laptop with Leap 42.2 and KDE. Tha laptop possibly does not matter, since this was the situation with 42.1 on this laptop and 42.1 on a Lenovo and on another kind of ASUS with 42.2. The symptoms: When I boot, wired connection gets initialized, and usable when I plug in the cord. I would expect that if and when the network cable is not plugged, the wifi starts working automatically. This is not the case and rfkill says wireless is hard blocked. I can only get wifi running if I put the system to sleep (with fn+Zz or mains switch), and then wake it up (with Esc or mains switch). Sometimes this should be done twice. There is another twist: boot+put to sleep + waking always works on one condition: the mains (or battery charger) is plugged. In this case closing the lid suspends the system and opening the lid wakes it up. When the charger is not plugged the above sequence sometimes works and sometimes (mostly) not. Closing the lid suspends the laptop, opening the lid either wakes it up or causes reboot. I do not know and understand how and why these phenomena are connected. What the charger plugged in state has to do with wifi start or reboot. It is mysterious why the things sometimes at least partly work and sometimes why not. And the basic question is: why the configured wifi does not start after or during bootup. Any kind of hints or tips are welcome. Regards, Albert

[opensuse] cannot delete a RAID drive
by george from the tribe 01 Feb '17

01 Feb '17

I am trying to free up a partition on my work desktop. One of the partitions on the extra disk is part of an old RAID-1 configuration, and I am trying to delete the raid drive from the system and re-format that partition. However, whenever I try to use fdisk, it re-activates the RAID even though I have already removed it. Here is my partition table: # fdisk -l /dev/sdb Disk /dev/sdb: 931.5 GiB, 1000204886016 bytes, 1953525168 sectors Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 4096 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes Disklabel type: dos Disk identifier: 0x12c2c333 Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type /dev/sdb1 2048 206847 204800 100M 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT /dev/sdb2 206848 324458495 324251648 154.6G 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT /dev/sdb3 324458496 358275071 33816576 16.1G 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/sdb4 * 358275072 1953523711 1595248640 760.7G 5 Extended /dev/sdb5 358277120 419717119 61440000 29.3G 83 Linux /dev/sdb6 419719168 481159167 61440000 29.3G 83 Linux /dev/sdb7 481161216 1953523711 1472362496 702.1G 83 Linux The device in question is /dev/sdb5. Note how if I look at the mdstat file, it shows it is active. So I try to fail the drive, but it won't let me. Then I stop the raid drive and remove it, and it shows it is no longer there. Seems like it should work. facofficeeng02:/home/george # cat /proc/mdstat Personalities : [raid1] md0 : active raid1 sdb5[0] 30703616 blocks super 1.2 [2/1] [U_] md1 : active raid1 sdb7[0] 736050176 blocks super 1.2 [2/1] [U_] bitmap: 6/6 pages [24KB], 65536KB chunk unused devices: <none> facofficeeng02:/home/george # cat /etc/mdadm.conf ARRAY /dev/md/facofficeeng02:1 UUID=a8872a97:eecd6828:f759773c:cb18678e facofficeeng02:/home/george # cat /proc/mdstat Personalities : [raid1] md0 : active raid1 sdb5[0] 30703616 blocks super 1.2 [2/1] [U_] md1 : active raid1 sdb7[0] 736050176 blocks super 1.2 [2/1] [U_] bitmap: 6/6 pages [24KB], 65536KB chunk unused devices: <none> facofficeeng02:/home/george # mdadm --fail /dev/md0 /dev/sdb5 mdadm: set device faulty failed for /dev/sdb5: Device or resource busy facofficeeng02:/home/george # mdadm --stop /dev/md0 mdadm: stopped /dev/md0 facofficeeng02:/home/george # mdadm --remove /dev/md0 facofficeeng02:/home/george # cat /proc/mdstat Personalities : [raid1] md1 : active raid1 sdb7[0] 736050176 blocks super 1.2 [2/1] [U_] bitmap: 6/6 pages [24KB], 65536KB chunk unused devices: <none> However, then when I run fdisk again, just to try and mess with it, the array re-activates itself: acofficeeng02:/home/george # fdisk /dev/sdb Welcome to fdisk (util-linux 2.28).

I tried gdisk for experiment (I can't use gdisk because the drive is mbr, not gpt), and it does the same thing. The drive re-activates itself. How do I completely get rid of my system seeing the raid in this partition and reactivating itself? I removed all the information from the /etc/mdadm.conf file for that drive, so it is not getting information from there. I am on a 42.2 system. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
