[opensuse] The Register: Systemd Security Flaw
by Lew Wolfgang 25 Jan '17

25 Jan '17

Found in the news: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/01/24/systemd_flaw/ Systemd v228 has a local privilege escalation vulnerability. CVE-2016-10156 v228 is in Leap 42.2, right? Has it been patched yet? Yet another reason to upgrade from 13.2 and older. Last paragraph of the article: |"systemd|is a suite for building blocks for Linux systems that provides system and service management technology. Security specialists view it withsuspicion <https://twitter.com/AlecMuffett/status/779941674671898624> and complaints about function creep are not uncommon."

[opensuse] i586 13.1 on RAID1 offline HTTP upgraded to 42.2 with TDE
by Felix Miata 25 Jan '17

25 Jan '17

Before starting, I uninstalled all of KDE3, but nothing from Packman. I used the upgrade=1 switch to start HTTP installation from Grub using only linux and initrd from HTTP fetch. "The installed product is not compatible with the produce on the installation media. If you try to update using the current installation media, the system may not start or some applications may not run properly." It tried to switch me to Grub2 even though grub2, shim and os-prober were not installed and were locked in /etc/zypp/locks. "Manual intervention is required." First was insistence on locked out grub2 required by bootcycle. Second was locked out libgnome-keyring0, which I allowed to unlock, but another breakage window followed, so I chose to break GnomeKeyring, which AFAIK I've never used anyway. Post-installation I installed it by choosing "remove lock" when asked by zypper (actual lock: libgnome*). Packages to update: 1045 New Packages to install: 745 Packages to remove: 117 That "new" list seems excessive. Obviously quite a number would be -32bit, but still.... IIRC, before removing KDE3 freespace was 56%, but immediately after removal, 50%. After the update and installing TDE, freespace is 59%, with only one 32bit package (glibc-32bit) installed. It discombobulated /dev/md*, replacing my orderly /dev/md[0-7] with /dev/md12[0-7]. e.g. / target of /dev/md1 was replaced by /dev/md125. However, this fixed itself when updated system was booted to the installed kernel, even though there is no /etc/mdadm.conf. :-p Somehow it decided I needed the whole bloated LibreOffice when no office suite was installed. https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=926841 still not fixed, still an annoying and useless installation delay. (In order to avoid https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1269274) I was successful in installing gtk3 from 42.1: # cat /pub/Tmp/out # rpmqa gtk | grep 3.16 gtk2-metatheme-adwaita-3.16.2-2.2.noarch gtk2-theming-engine-adwaita-3.16.2-2.2.x86_64 gtk3-branding-upstream-3.16.7-5.1.noarch gtk3-data-3.16.7-5.1.noarch gtk3-lang-3.16.7-5.1.noarch gtk3-metatheme-adwaita-3.16.2-2.2.noarch gtk3-tools-3.16.7-5.1.x86_64 libgtk-3-0-3.16.7-5.1.x86_64 libgtkmm-3_0-1-3.16.0-2.2.x86_64 TDE apparently migrated KDE3 settings automatically (as claimed it would)! :-) Everything tried so far seems to work as expected. :-) -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

Re: [opensuse] Support lifetimes
by Christopher Myers 24 Jan '17

24 Jan '17

Good to know -- this is different from the past then :) I just checked, and I do see PHP7 on the list of things I can install; I just have to uninstall PHP5 first (not ideal, but probably doable at least..) Thanks for that, my app server life just got a bit easier... :) >From my personal/developer life though -- it's the core stuff that I need most often for compatibility with different software products, which is why I've ended up going the oS route instead of the SLE route. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Tape Drive Error Log Utility
by Paul Groves 24 Jan '17

24 Jan '17

Hi, Does anyone have the linux utility for resetting the error codes on tape drives? (I cannot recall the name) I have a drive with 'Error 5' on the LED display which means a hardware error. It was due to a stuck tape which has since been removed but the drive is still in an error state. I have been on the phone to quantum but they will not support my drive or not send me a copy of the utility. (Wish I had bought a HP with lifetime warranty now).

[opensuse] Slightly OT, re: raspberry pi 3 - pretty darn amazing...
by David C. Rankin 24 Jan '17

24 Jan '17

All, Here is a quasi-ot post (except for the thought that opensuse_pi would be nice). I don't post about just cool linux often, but if you haven't checked out the raspberry pi, it is a full computer with the footprint of a credit-card. I set one up for fun, and it runs an almost complete version of debian Jessie (rasbian) that is complete with a default LXDE desktop, LibreOffice, Chromium, a full blown development suite gcc/java, gigabit ethernet, a gig or RAM, usb, audio/mic, hdmi output, etc... It uses a SD card for storage, but beyond that, it could be a desktop/server replacement (albeit a bit slower than a gaming rig), it will happily run apache, bind, php, dhcp, etc.. Enough said. For the old-timers, it is a complete treat to work with a $35 computer ($50 with case, 2A power supply and SD card). Drawing less than 1A normally, you could get weeks of uptime from a UPS if you happened to lose power -- like forever. I've seen some posts regarding ARM versions of suse in the past. It would be equally fun to have a suse_pi version to go along with debian, arch, ubuntu, etc.. (there may even be one I haven't stumbled upon yet) Pretty cool... -- David C.

[opensuse] SIP Phone client
by Klaus Vink Slott 24 Jan '17

24 Jan '17

Until now I have used SFLPhone but it was showing some age and the fact that the files on Opensuse buildservice has not been updated for quite some time now has been worrying. Now after update to LEAP, it can't install any more due to some library stuff. So what do the community recommend as a replacement - preferably a KDE application, - or at least something the works and integrates whiteout to many problems. -- Regards Klaus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
