[opensuse] Which is the proper method to set the language in XFCE?
by Carlos E. R. 20 Nov '17

20 Nov '17

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I do not see a setting to set the user language in XFCE, different from the system language. Traditionally I use the file .i18n file, like this: LC_TIME=en_DK.UTF-8 LC_MONETARY=es_ES@euro LC_NUMERIC=es_ES@euro LC_PAPER=es_ES@euro LC_TELEPHONE=es_ES@euro LC_MEASUREMENT=es_ES@euro LC_NAME=es_ES@euro which works. But if I try to set the entire environment to Spanish, it fails: LANG=es_ES.utf8 I get English (this is already reported in Bugzilla). Is there another "correct" way to set the language per user on XFCE? - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.

[opensuse] Recover Degraded LVM Stripe Set?
by Eric Robinson 20 Nov '17

20 Nov '17

How do I recover an LVM stripe set where one drive went bad? I created 2 volume groups as follows: vgcreate drbdpool_under_0 /dev/sda5 /dev/sdb5 /dev/sdc5 /dev/sdd5 /dev/sde5 /dev/sdf5 vgcreate drbdpool_under_1 /dev/sda6 /dev/sdb6 /dev/sdc6 /dev/sdd6 /dev/sde6 /dev/sdf6 Then I created 2 logical volumes: lvcreate -i6 -I16 -L1.31T -n lv0_under_drbdpool /dev/vg0_under_drbdpool lvcreate -i6 -I16 -L1.31T -n lv1_under_drbdpool /dev/vg1_under_drbdpool One of the drives went bad and had to be replaced, but I don't know how to recover the volume group and logical volumes. pvscan shows the following... ha11a:~ # pvscan WARNING: Device for PV L6YooS-MX8j-FtgX-MNRn-Y4Ff-hbms-IO5dvA not found or rejected by a filter.

[opensuse] DAT72 drive stopped working
by Paul Groves 20 Nov '17

20 Nov '17

It seems there is no end to the problems with tapes for me. :( I tried to do a weekly backup today and my DAT72 drive has decided to stop working (just to spite me I imagine). so I type in this command (as root) tar -cvf /dev/st0 /home and I get: tar: Removing leading `/' from member names /srv/backups/backup-www.sh tar: /dev/st0: Cannot write: Invalid argument tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now what does tar: /dev/st0: Cannot write: Invalid argument mean exactly? However the same command does work on my spare USB DAT72 drive and also on the LTO drive installed in the same server. but not for st0 which is a DAT72 drive. Now I have read that it is not compatible with the Ultra320 card I have installed, however it HAS been working fine since July on this card. I rolled back to a snapshot of the hard drive from August and it is not working there so perhaps it is a compatibility problem. Does anyone know a way I can prove / diagnose this? thanks Paul -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] BERT: Can't request iomem region <00000000a4008018-00000000a400802b>
by listreader 20 Nov '17

Brand new Dell Precision Workstation T3620 Mini Tower. I installed Leap 423 with an XFCE desktop and was working fine. Until today. Multiple hiccups. Don't know whether they are related or not so I'll post them in separate threads. This is 1-of-2: Message on tty at boot (and in journal) BERT: Can't request iomem region <00000000a4008018-00000000a400802b> It wasn't there before. Now it is. Google tells me "BERT is Boot Error Record Table" which doesn't sound like a good thing. FWIW, the address range seems to be within a block labeled "ACPI NVS". What is this message telling me? Thanks. Ralph -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Is it possible to update Tumbleweed to a less-than-current version?
by Christopher Myers 19 Nov '17

19 Nov '17

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 I've been using Tumbleweed for several months now, and love it. One thing that I've been curious about though is -- let's say that I'm on 20171107, and the most recent is 20171114, but there was a release on 20171110. Is it possible to upgrade from 1107 to 1110, when 1114 is the most recent? I guess a way to be cutting edge without being totally bleeding edge?

[opensuse] black screen after changing user with change user dialogue or with ttyn
by stakanov 19 Nov '17

19 Nov '17

The machine: Asus M5A97EVO R2.0 with AMD FX4300 and an Nvidia Gforce 7300 GS/PCIe OpenGL 2.1.2 Nvidia 304.137 Xserver resolution is 1440x900 DPI has not been changed. OS is Leap 42.3 (updated from 13.2 to 42.2 to 42.3). Os is running stable, no greater problems but one annoyance When you log out the session and log in another user no problem. When you log in to another session without logging out the user, the situation is: or you see a black screen with cursor when coming back to the original session. This independently if using ttyn or using the dialogue of "change user" in plasma. The second user session remains viable for a while when changing back with ttyn. When you switch back for two times, the second open user shows "deteriorating screen". That is black lines behind the icon names that are prodromic ot the user finally crashing after further switches. I have already put both user on xrender as Plasma 5 with this card crashes openGL and deactivates it when restarting the machine. So the openGL driver of nvidia "should" not be responsible. I tried Nouveau, but then the screen is already at boot up "black with cursor". So, the proprietary driver seems the only chance. I would be happy to receive tips and hints how to restore multi users setting in this machine. Of course if you know that this is a known limitation of 42.3 that e.g. will be fixed upstream, please let me know. I checked xsession errors and also journalctl -r but........ no pertinent voice of a crash seems to be there. Waiting for some suggestion or info.

[opensuse] Apache Start Up Problem
by Paul Groves 17 Nov '17

17 Nov '17

Hi All, I had a weird problem today. I noticed that after a reboot of my server, my owncloud instance on my desktop was complaining about an invalid certificate. I tried to 'open owncloud in browser' and was presented with my apache default page. So first thing I tried is restart the apache service. This fixed the problem. However, every time I reboot apache is not loading my configuration correctly and the problem repeats. It appears to be loading the default configuration file fine at boot but ignoring the other files. (including owncloud). But when I manually stop and start the service they load fine. Huh?? Any idea how I can diagnose what is causing this problem? What is the difference between the apache service loading at boot compared to manually starting the service?

[opensuse] Help needed with acpupsd and a ACP 550 backups pro, config error?
by stakanov 17 Nov '17

17 Nov '17

With 13.2 the acpupsd worked flawlessly. With 42.2 it segfaulted but to my delight having updated the machine to 42.3 now it starts, all seems O.K. BUT(!): I have no communication. A fast check shows that: sudo systemctl status acpid.service [sudo] password di root: ● apcupsd.service - APC UPS Power Control Daemon for Linux Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/apcupsd.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled) Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since mer 2017-11-15 08:57:44 CET; 55min ago Process: 12179 ExecStart=/usr/sbin/apcupsd -b -f /etc/apcupsd/apcupsd.conf (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) Process: 12175 ExecStartPre=/bin/rm -f /etc/apcupsd/powerfail (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Main PID: 12179 (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) nov 15 08:57:44 azzurro.fritz.box systemd[1]: Starting APC UPS Power Control Daemon for Linux... nov 15 08:57:44 azzurro.fritz.box systemd[1]: Started APC UPS Power Control Daemon for Linux. nov 15 08:57:44 azzurro.fritz.box apcupsd[12179]: apcupsd FATAL ERROR in apcconfig.c at line 671 nov 15 08:57:44 azzurro.fritz.box apcupsd[12179]: Terminating due to configuration file errors. nov 15 08:57:44 azzurro.fritz.box systemd[1]: apcupsd.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE nov 15 08:57:44 azzurro.fritz.box systemd[1]: apcupsd.service: Unit entered failed state. nov 15 08:57:44 azzurro.fritz.box systemd[1]: apcupsd.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'. Now the thing is, I did not really change something of the configfile and I do not see any difference to the default file when it comes to settings or syntax. If somebody sees or knows what is happening, I would be very grateful to point me to a solution. I get in the apc mon "unknown@localhost" is NISERR NIS network error. But since I run it with locally attached usb cable.... ? I controlled all cable settings and all cable plugs on the UPS and the machine. I join the config file here: http://paste.opensuse.org/75785249 Thanks in advance. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
