[opensuse] bug warning from kernel in dmesg. Worth reporting?
by stakanov 15 Oct '17

15 Oct '17

I have occasional crashes when changing with alt-ctl-tty the sessions. Up to now I have no real clue why. The spontaneous crashes using kmails are gone it seems after the latest bugfix. But I do get a bug warning from kernel. If somebody can understand about what it complains, I would be delighted to hear what the issue is and if I should or should not report it.

[opensuse] Ifconfig - wrong IPv6 address type
by James Knott 13 Oct '17

13 Oct '17

I just noticed a minor issue. I just used ifconfig to display interface addresses and got the following: eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr F0:DE:F1:8C:DC:99 inet addr:172.16.4.100 Bcast:172.16.4.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fd48:1a37:2160:4:f2de:f1ff:fe8c:dc99/128 Scope:Global inet6 addr: fe80::f2de:f1ff:fe8c:dc99/64 Scope:Link The first IPv6 address is a type known as a Unique Local Address (ULA), which is used in a manner similar to IPv4 RFC 1918 addresses. However, despite this, ifconfig shows it's scope as global. A global address is a public address reachable from the Internet. ULA addresses are not. Shouldn't ifconfig show the proper scope? The same applies to the ip command. However, the link local and global addresses show the correct scope. ULA addresses are in the range of fc::/7. This is with OpenSUSE 42.3. tnx jk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Tab window section in XFCE4 terminal too large
by Carlos E. R. 13 Oct '17

13 Oct '17

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I updated XFCE to the one in X11:XFCE repo, version 4.12.1, I think. I wanted the new Pulse Audio Panel Plugin. Everything is nice, except that the TAB area in the Terminal is too large, compared to the menu area, and I don't see if this can be adjusted or is coded. I tried many settings, didn't see any change. See attached photo, if it passes through, to see my meaning. - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.

[opensuse] Install unsigned packages with Zypper
by Bjoern Voigt 12 Oct '17

12 Oct '17

I usually use Zypper also to install foreign RPM packages, among other things it resolves dependencies. Unfortunately since some weeks, I have to confirm each unsigned package with "i" (ignore). The useful switches --gpgcheck-allow-unsigned (Short hand for --gpgcheck-allow-unsigned-repo --gpgcheck-allow-unsigned-package) are only available for the actions addrepo|ar and modifyrepo|mr. Is there a work-around or should I file a feature request? # zypper in $(find LibreOffice_5.4.2.2_Linux_x86-64_rpm* -name '*.rpm') [...] 55 packages to reinstall. Overall download size: 293.6 MiB.

[opensuse] bluetooth mouse
by jdd＠dodin.org 12 Oct '17

12 Oct '17

-> what may I do to recover my mouse? I'm not sure what was the real solution, because I tried too many things, but now it - almost - works If I get it correctly, for the device to be detected, it needs to come after the wifi is, or something similar. so after the start, if BT don't works, systemctl restart bluetooth.service rfkill unblock bluetooth should make the bluetooth to be actionable in the widget that said, at some time in the configuration, I was asked for the root passwd to continue and since then at boot I have to give root passwd in a notification windows to get bluetooth. This is a bit odd, so is there a way to avoid this? I wonder if blacklisting the bluetooth could make the system work, but I fear to try because I don't want to fix a working system :-( 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] audacious - disabling window grabbing on menu bar click
by Istvan Gabor 11 Oct '17

11 Oct '17

Hello: This occours in openSUSE 13.2 with KDE3. I use audacious mucic player with gtk interface. When I click to the menu bar the mouse pointer becomes an arrow-cross and the mouse grabs the audacious window. How could I disable this? Other windows are only grabbed if I click the title bar and keep the mouse button ppressed.

[opensuse] BUG: Bad page state in process suse.de-cron-lo pfn:6db6db6db6e5d85e ??

All, When it rains it pours. I have an interesting issue with an old laptop (still running 13.1), that in the past has runs for weeks/months on end, now suddenly beginning to freeze ever day or two.

Searching around, I found a kernel bug that seems semi-related: https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/8/5/371 However, this does not explain, "Why in the hell did it used to run for weeks/months (until I rebooted), to now freezing?" Usual suspects would be memory (test fine) and hard disk (swap corruption?). But I have no indication of any disk issues. So I guess my plea for help is basically a "What else to check?" question. How do you troubleshoot a problem that doesn't appear in the logs. (it's a laptop, so I can't just pull the case cover and check for puffy caps -- which may be a consideration). Ideas? I am no expert in kernel Call Traces. I can read them, I understand what the stack pointer address are saying, I'm just not 100% sure what it is telling me. I'm also at a loss to decipher the Code: kernel: [44716.074017] Code: 8b 44 24 18 4d 8d 2c 07 4d 3b 6d 00 0f 84 e9 02 00 00 45 85 e4 0f 84 d3 02 00 00 4d 8b 6d 08 49 83 ed 20 49 8b 45 28 49 8b 55 20 <48> 89 42 08 48 89 10 48 b8 00 01 10 00 00 00 ad de 49 89 45 20 Anybody here speak kernel Call Trace?

[opensuse] Why I'm not absolutely using CUPS

Well CUPS has its own ACL I did try installing CUPS for Android on my devices but either I couldn't get it configured or it was broken, so tablet -> cups server -> printer is a a No-Go. However the tablet and the phone, when on the same network (as opposed off on yet another NAT) can print to an IP address. For some reason a return address that being behind a another NAT won't permit kills that. I have a vague idea why, perhaps James can say it more definitively. But I don't want outsiders, even if they somehow get past the firewall or penetrate my wifi password, from accessing devices like the router or the printer. So they have IP based ACL. So 'known' devices have static IPs to make like more manageable. OK, so its not earth-moving insurmountable security, but it is enough to discourage a lot of the 'casual' and 'drive-past'. -- 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] PHP Login
by Paul Groves 10 Oct '17

10 Oct '17

Hi, Currently we have a php site with an SQL table of users. Users can login and reset their own password, admins can reset other users passwords. However we would like to link to the built in system users on the local machine. So basically I would like a login form in PHP that uses the system users instead of an sql table. also how can an authenticated user change their own password via the web page? Is this possible? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] No network of leap 42.3
by Dave Smith 10 Oct '17

10 Oct '17

I recently installed 42.3 on a second computer. This computer has 2 disks. One disk for Leap 42.3 and the other for Windows 10. The install went very smooth (as usual) and I use grub to boot into my disks. I was able to update 42.3 and noticed no issues. Today I went to use the machine and discovered I have no internet. Ifconfig shows I have no address assigned via dhcp. To eliminate a hardware issue I booted into Windows. Windows had internet connectivity. The motherboard is an ASRock H97 Pro4 which uses the Intel gigabyte ethernet chip, the same one used by the machine I am typing from now (leap 42.2). I then switched to a static ip to see if it is a dhcp issue. I used YAST to configure the static ip. Using wicked I was able to start and stop the network successfully. Ifconfig showed my static ip address assigned to eth0. Still no internet. lsmod shows e1000e is loaded. My system consists of a NETGEAR ProSafe™ Gigabit 8 Port VPN Firewall FVS318G router attached to a cable modem. All devices are plugged into the router which assigns ip addresses via dhcp during boot. I have the two computers, a ps3, and a cisco wifi plugged into the router. All are visible to the router and have internet access. On the machine in question when I boot into windows the router shows the computer and assigned ip address(dhcp). When I boot into 42.3 nothing shows up on the router, dhcp or static ip. Any ideas what could be going on? Is there a known problem with the e1000e module? Any ideas will be appreciated.
