[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.

[opensuse] raspberry 3 pi and USB throubhput ?
by Greg Freemyer 16 Jan '17

16 Jan '17

The Raspberry PI thread got me thinking. I need a "portable PC" that can do high-speed USB-3 i/o. I've been using a laptop with both USB-3 ports and a eSata port. I would like enough horsepower I can run compression on the data stream. Effectively "dd if=/dev/sdb | gzip > compressed_image_file" (I actually use ewfacquire from the distro to do this.) My plan is to buy a new laptop, but a nice Arm box might be a much better choice. Especially if I can get one for under $200. I could buy 3 of those instead of a decent laptop. Any suggestions of what I should look at? Thanks Greg -- Greg Freemyer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] How to customize gtk3 themes in oS 13.2?
by Istvan Gabor 16 Jan '17

16 Jan '17

Hello: How can I customize gtk3 settings like background and foreground colors, font size in openSUSE 13.2? I tried gnome-control-center but it has no such option. Especially I'd like to change the volume meters' thickness in pavucontrol.
