[opensuse] LibreOffice help menu
by Dave Howorth 19 Jan '17

19 Jan '17

I run LibreOffice Version: 5.2.3.3 Build ID: 20m0(Build:3) on openSUSE Leap 42.1 I just clicked on LibreOffice Help in the Help menu and discovered that it opened a web page instead of a help window. The web page is https://help.libreoffice.org/index.php?title=5.2/Common/Help&Language=en-US… and I can't figure out how to use it to get help! It seems to be some kind of overview/index but there doesn't seem to be any way to actually invoke help. How do I use it?

[opensuse] RESOLVED: Mounting a 5TB NTFS drive?
by Greg Freemyer 18 Jan '17

18 Jan '17

The issue was trivial. The partition table was GPT and I was using fdisk to look at it. Once I used "gdisk -l" to look at the partition setup, I found I needed to mount partition 2.

[opensuse] Mounting a 5TB NTFS drive?
by Greg Freemyer 18 Jan '17

18 Jan '17

All, I routinely mount USB-3 drives to openSUSE. Normally to 13.1. I don't recall ever mounting anything over 4TB before. I'm in the field today and the only DVD I have with me is a 13.1 DVD. I bought a new Seagate 5TB USB-3 drive. It works in Windows 10 and I have put data on it. I can see the 5TB drive when I boot the PC in question from the openSUSE 13.1 DVD, but it fails to mount. Is there a known problem going over 4TB? Will it work if get a Leap 42.2 machine? (90 minutes round trip drive time to my office, thus the question).

[opensuse] Programming F1 with twm or ctwm
by Richmond 18 Jan '17

18 Jan '17

I have two computers with an identical .ctwmrc, and it has this line: "F1" = : window : f.iconify On the first computer it works, pressing F1 iconifies a window, but on the second it doesn't work, it just makes the mouse cursor disappear for a second. Sometimes OP (an escape sequence?) appears in the xterm window (if that is the window targetted). This second computer did have a .Xmodmap but I renamed it. I rebooted the system after renaming .Xmodmap. I have found the same problem with twm. I changed the default window manager to twm, the default display manager to xdm, rebooted the system, created a new user, copied the .twmrc file, but still F1 didn't work. xev shows it is sending key 67 F1. I have tried plugging in a USB keyboard, but no difference. What's happening? Why does it behave differently on this computer? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] A question....
by ianseeks 18 Jan '17

18 Jan '17

HI I've had a console session open running 'top' and i switched to ctrl-alt-F7 to login to a graphical session. I put the password in, hit enter and switched back to the console to watch 'top'. My question is, why doesn't the graphical login proceed at normal pace to load the desktop? It seems to halt the login progress until i switch back to the graphical session.

[opensuse] Leap 42.2 overwrote Win10 mbr on /dev/sda on grub update for SuSE on /dev/sdb
by David C. Rankin 18 Jan '17

18 Jan '17

All, This was somewhat disturbing. I have 2 drives in my laptop, win10 on /dev/sda and Leap 42.2 on /dev/sdb. I boot either by selecting the drive I want to boot with the quick select bios boot option (e.g. press F9, the select hd1, hd2 of network boot) A couple of days ago, there was an update to grub2, and whatever hook is in place forced a grub reinstall. The problem is that grub installed to /dev/sda (writing itself to my win10 drive, instead of writing itself to my opensuse drive). This was quite surprising when I next tried to boot win10. Thankfully, grub detected and set up a chain-load for win10, but the issue is -- why would it touch /dev/sda, when it was booted from and running on /dev/sdb. I was able to recover/remove grub from /dev/sda with a call to bootsect, but I want to prevent this from ever happening again. I suspect part of the problem was the original installation of grub2 by yast and the creation of the archaic /boot/grub2/device.map containing '(hd0) /dev/sda' during install. I have rewritten device.map to contain (hd1) /dev/sda (hd0) /dev/sdb What I need to know is "Are there any other hooks or defaults in the way opensuse calls `grub-install` following a grub2 update that would cause it to write to /dev/sda instead of the drive opensuse is running on?" (after that we can get to 'why in the heck did an update to grub require a grub-install on a working system to begin with?' there was no kernel update or any change that would warrant a reinstall of grub to the drive) -- David C.

[opensuse] baloo crashes resumed - how do I install debug symbols
by Mikhail Ramendik 18 Jan '17

18 Jan '17

Hello, Unfortunately, killing the database and restarting the scan did not end my baloo troubles. When I saved a docx document today it crashed again. And this is not just about docx parsing - indexing has gotten frozen: > balooctl status Baloo File Indexer is running Indexer state: Indexing file content Indexed 7028 / 98944 files Current size of index is 88.30 MiB This seems to mean that indexing is stuck on a particular file for quite some time and nobody knows what file. Might be time to go to the KDE mailing lists or forums, but first I need to install debug symbols, and this is an opensuse thing. So how *do* I Install them? -- Yours, Mikhail Ramendik Unless explicitly stated, all opinions in my mail are my own and do not reflect the views of any organization -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] How to start mdadm service in openSUSE Leap 42.2?
by Istvan Gabor 17 Jan '17

Hello: I have a few md raid1 sets I used in previous openSUSE versions. In my freshly installed Leap 42.2 the raid sets are not assembled automatically at boot, though I have a correct mdadm.conf file.
