[opensuse] Since when did opensuse start closing bugs "Upstream" and just hoping the reporter follows through??
by David C. Rankin 28 Oct '17

28 Oct '17

All, I filed a bug yesterday on the libreoffice file chooser not remembering its last used size. (annoying, but not a showstopper). The bug was CLOSED UPSTREAM? LibreOffice file chooser dialog does not remember last used size https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1065398 That is bad practice. The bug should remain OPEN UPSTREAM and the maintainers should coordinate with upstream as has always been the policy in the past. Simply closing the bug and "hoping", "wishing", or "assuming" the reporter actually follows through and reports upstream is how issues fall through the cracks. I don't know when this policy changed, but it needs to be re-thought. I have noticed a recent rash of closures (some for confirmed bugs that had not been addressed since 2010). I have also had recent bugs reported that were upstream issues where the maintainers followed the time-honored tradition here and coordinated with upstream until a resolution was secured. So when did the policy change? What is it now? If the bug affects upstream is it just going to be CLOSED UPSTREAM and the reporter (who may be filing his first bug), left on his own? -- David C.

[opensuse] Libreofficewriter problems printing embedded inage.
by Anton Aylward 27 Oct '17

27 Oct '17

This may be a printer problem, but then again not. I took a screensnhot to png, but later converted to jpg with no better result. I tried embedding said image in a document. I've also tried converting the image to greyscale only. When I print, the image doesn't come out. I believe the printer and driver can print images for a number of reasons. I can print a page from a PDF document that has images on it. I admit the graphical parts don't come out as well as the text part of the image. I've also printed web pages such as recipes/yummily that have images and they come out. This is a brother HL-517DN and I seem to have a PDF style driver installed. That seems the new norm. However I've gone through all the possible settings that make sense (aka not the '2-up' or rotations) without much joy. I'm not sure this is a good thing, to be honest but that seems to be the new norm. Please, experience should trump theory. I know the theory. Telling me that over again isn't going to help. -- 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] moving /home
by jdd＠dodin.org 27 Oct '17

27 Oct '17

Hello, My present install uses 3 partitions, / (30Gb, btrfs), /home (30 Gb, xfs)and /data, the last for large file storing (around 400Gb, xfs). no lvm. I want to install an other distro (ubuntu) to test some special config only documented on ubuntu AFAIK it's not possible to reduce the size of an xfs filesystem :-( So Here what I did: * copy (rsync, as root) my /home to /data/home-active folder * coment out the /home line in fstab * adding in fstab /data/home-actif /home none bind" it seems to work, but before trashing the original /home partition I would like to know if all is ok, specially in the fstab line thanks jdd -- http://dodin.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] IBus icon after upgrading to TW 20171023?
by Christopher Myers 27 Oct '17

27 Oct '17

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 I just rebooted after updating my TW install to 20171023, and now I have an IBus icon down by the clock. Since I don't think that I need the functionality that it provides, is that something that I can remove? Or will it just keep coming back every time I upgrade TW?

[opensuse] systemd stops postfix/nfsserver for false(?) reasons
by Peter Suetterlin 25 Oct '17

25 Oct '17

Hi, I'm running a server on Leap 42.2. Amongst other things, it is mail and NFS server for the home directories. After a reboot today neither postfix nor the nfs server were running. A look at the boot log: Oct 23 07:44:43 royac6 systemd[1]: Stopped Postfix Mail Transport Agent. Oct 23 07:44:43 royac6 systemd[1]: Created slice system-mdadm\x2dlast\x2dresort.slice. Oct 23 07:44:43 royac6 systemd[1]: Starting Activate md array even though degraded... Oct 23 07:44:43 royac6 systemd[1]: Stopped NFS server and services. Oct 23 07:44:43 royac6 systemd[1]: Stopping NFSv4 ID-name mapping service... Oct 23 07:44:43 royac6 systemd[1]: Stopped NFS Mount Daemon. Oct 23 07:44:43 royac6 systemd[1]: Stopped NFSv4 ID-name mapping service. Oct 23 07:44:43 royac6 systemd[1]: Started Activate md array even though degraded.

Oct 23 07:44:43 royac6 systemd[1]: Unmounted /home. So obviously it is because a 'problem' with the home directories (/home is served by nfs-server, and postfix uses Maildir in the home directories). But /home is mounted... So I looked at that: Oct 23 07:44:09 royac6 kernel: sdb: sdb1 Oct 23 07:44:09 royac6 kernel: sda: sda1 Oct 23 07:44:12 royac6 kernel: md: bind<sda1> Oct 23 07:44:13 royac6 kernel: md: bind<sdb1> Oct 23 07:44:13 royac6 kernel: md/raid1:md1: active with 2 out of 2 mirrors Oct 23 07:44:13 royac6 kernel: created bitmap (8 pages) for device md1 Oct 23 07:44:13 royac6 kernel: md1: bitmap initialized from disk: read 1 pages, set 11 of 15260 bits Oct 23 07:44:13 royac6 kernel: md1: detected capacity change from 0 to 1024061145088 Oct 23 07:44:13 royac6 systemd[1]: Found device /dev/disk/by-uuid/133b616a-1100-4278-86a7-9eb677783e9b.

Sidenote: It is stopping the nfs and mail services before they even are started... As I don't see any real error message it seems to be some race condition in the systemd dependencies(?), but I'm not sure what to do to locate it. It seems to be the wait timer, but why is it still running? The device is already active, and has all it's disks... Any help appreciated!

[opensuse] 42.3 ignoring router priority
by James Knott 24 Oct '17

24 Oct '17

With IPv6, there can be multiple default routers on a network and there is a priority setting so that one is favoured over another. However, it appears 42.3 is ignoring that prioriy. Here's the output of ip -6 route, which shows both as medium priority. default via fe80::1:1 dev eth0 proto ra metric 1024 expires 57sec hoplimit 64 pref medium default via fe80::216:17ff:fea7:f2d3 dev vlan3 proto ra metric 1024 expires 48sec hoplimit 64 pref medium However, the router on eth0 is set for high priority and on VLAN 3, low. This has been verified with Wireshark captures. So, why is openSuse ignoring that priority? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] google-chrome crash?
by Josef Fortier 24 Oct '17

24 Oct '17

A few days ago chrome quit working on my Leap 42.3 desktop. Starting from a command line shows references to "zygote" fork issues. Most google results seem to be from a while ago. It occurs on a re-install, on all three version from the suse repository and on the official google chrome rpm. This is the output (I'd assume the root cert error is harmless) [1326:1363:1020/121628.684837:ERROR:nss_util.cc(725)] After loading Root Certs, loaded==false: NSS error code: -8018 ATTENTION: default value of option force_s3tc_enable overridden by environment.
