[opensuse] sync nntp
by jdd＠dodin.org 16 Nov '17

16 Nov '17

Hello, Not that I expect a positive answer, but who knows? I can now sync, that is have up to date on several computers/tablets/phones... most of my files, mails, calendar, tasks, passwd with nextcloud, thunderbird (imap), davdroid, Firefox... what I can't have is sync of nntp/usenet forums. When I don't use a news reader for some days, and I open it, all the messages since the last time are marked unread, even if I read them on other machine. Do you know any way to get this between openSUSE and android devices? I'm not fond of online system (I know some) I use thunderbird on computers and piaohong newsgroup on android as news reader (but can change) 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] root full but du not showing why - snapshots? Can't even free up
by Mikhail Ramendik 16 Nov '17

16 Nov '17

Hello, I trued to upgrade to 42.3 and the process failed because the root file system was full. df -h shows it full at 40 gigabytes. But... with du, I can only find the usage of 15 gigabytes. Moreover. I found 3 gigabytes in /root that could be deleted, and promptly deleted them. But df -h is not showing any more space! I am in the command line under root, no trash system anywhere. I suspect snapshots are the problem, because I accepted the default of btrfs for the root filesystem. So I could just delete some old snapshots. But how do I list the snapshots? And how do I remove them? Somehow when I google this I can't find anything. I mean, I did find btrfs subvolume list / and it lists quite a few lines like: ID 996 gen 288328 top level 258 path @/.snapshots/558/snapshot But I can't find a way to delete these snapshots. when I do btrfs subvolume delete @/.snapshots/558/snapshot I get "no such file or directory". So how can I delete snapshots? Even better. how do I find out which snapshots are made when and include what, so I can delete those I certainly don't need? I am tempted to reinstall with an ext4 root file system, but I do not want to spend all the time needed for a fresh install. -- 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] Boot failure after update from 42.2 to 42.3 "Grub-tpm-measure not found"
by stakanov 14 Nov '17

14 Nov '17

This is a very puzzling error as I did not install trusted grub and I do not have tpm on the system. The system is also not UEFI. The update was from 42.2 (working well) to 42.3 (screwed it up and I am now in rescue mode). Did anybody encounter this or does understand what the issue actually is? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

some users DO want to be bothered by snapshots, I include myself as one of them. It also includes many TW users for obvious reasons, from observation it even includes users of other distros who go to the trouble of installing it themselves. > He does not want to be told to do complex commands most issues that arise on forums require "complex commands", the cron job links are a separate bug (just solved on TW), the balance given the situation. > The problem that started this thread would simply not have occured in case ext4 would have been the basis of all. not buying this argument. for x number of other posts and situations - 'you wouldnt be stuck with a broken system if you had snapshots' 'average users' want to interact and invest in user space (the apps that give value), they want the plumbing to be hidden. If btrfs/snapshots do not add value then they are just exposed plumbing, if they add value they are worth investing in. Snapshots add value on TW, I dont know about leap. there is no universal/best backup method. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] plasma - non-KDE windows use KDE soft-whites (fcfcfc or eff0f1) unreadable - how to fix?
by David C. Rankin 14 Nov '17

14 Nov '17

All, I'm playing with plasma: KDE Frameworks 5.39.0 Qt 5.9.2 (built against 5.9.2) The xcb windowing system I have the breeze-dark theme, which is usable, with one major exception, all non-kde windows that are supposed to be white (e.g. virtualbox/Win7, etc.) are a dim blueish white. (0xfcfcfc or 0xeff0f1 -- verified by picking colors off the scrren with kde-colorchooser, that is what is set in kcontrol->Appearance->Colors) According to https://community.kde.org/File:Breeze_Color_Palette.png These are the Breeze Colors ("Paper White" and "Cardboard Grey"). However, they are being applied to non-kde apps making things that are supposed to have a white background -- not-white, totally messing up contrast in some of the non-kde apps. How do I tell plasma to leave the colors in non-kde apps alone? Looking at windows-explorer with a 0xfcfcfc background will drive you nuts with the soft-blue contrasting highlight windows uses. (it's like staring into a 'cool-blue' florescent light-bulb). I don't understand how the colors are getting applied, it's almost like there is some filter or overlay that is trying to make all colors in all apps match the breeze "View Text" and "Window Text" color theme settings. Any help would be appreciated. (another bewildering quandary is font-size. 8-pt mono is tiny on plasma and 9-pt mono looks like 11-pt -- there is literally no in between...) -- David C.

[opensuse] need file from former md RAID1 member
by Felix Miata 14 Nov '17

14 Nov '17

My Google Fu isn't working very well. I need to mount the following ro long enough to find and fetch one file from what's showing up as /dev/md127. Base on a /unix.stackexchange.com page Google found[1] I tried mdadm -A /dev/sdg12 but get message device /dev/sdb12 exists but is not an md array. Of course, because it is only one of two original parts. I tried this from a different PC and get the same message. Also from that page I tried mdadm --assemble --scan which only got a usage message on the first machine, and got No arrays found in config file or automatically. On the second Next tried on first. mount -t ext4 -o ro,noatime /dev/sdg12 /mnt but get the message /dev/sdg12 is already mounted or /mnt busy df shows no use of either /mnt or sdg12, and there is no sdg<anything> showing as in use in /proc/mdstat. What do I need to do? The machine this disk came from is the one of two I'm currently trying to use for the recovery, but isn't necessary to the recovery, simply what was handy and known to have working RAID modules available. Its own RAID1 was migrated from 320GB disks to 500GB several years ago. # blkid /dev/sdg12 /dev/sdg12: UUID="fc3787e2-bc83-c66c-8afe-62881c75f7f0" UUID_SUB="40d2e084-2321-f3f4-f6f7-c64f526127f3" LABEL="5" TYPE="linux_raid_member" # mdadm --examine /dev/sdg12 /dev/sdg12: Magic : a92b4efc Version : 1.0 Feature Map : 0x1 Array UUID : fc3787e2:bc83c66c:8afe6288:1c75f7f0 Name : 5 Creation Time : Tue Jan 6 23:55:05 2009 Raid Level : raid1 Raid Devices : 2 Avail Dev Size : 2072296 (1011.86 MiB 1061.02 MB) Array Size : 1036148 (1011.86 MiB 1061.02 MB) Super Offset : 2072304 sectors Unused Space : before=0 sectors, after=8 sectors State : clean Device UUID : 40d2e084:2321f3f4:f6f7c64f:526127f3 Internal Bitmap : 2 sectors from superblock Update Time : Sat Apr 16 21:40:43 2011 Checksum : c6042453 - correct Events : 8 Device Role : Active device 0 Array State : AA ('A' == active, '.' == missing, 'R' == replacing) # cat /proc/mdstat Personalities : [raid1] md120 : inactive sdg13[0](S) 78140056 blocks super 1.0 md121 : inactive sdg14[0](S) 156280216 blocks super 1.0 md122 : inactive sdg8[1](S) 10650988 blocks super 1.0 md123 : inactive sdg10[0](S) 10650988 blocks super 1.0 md124 : inactive sdg9[0](S) 10650988 blocks super 1.0 md125 : inactive sdg11[0](S) 28362652 blocks super 1.0 md126 : inactive sdg7[1](S) 9422016 blocks super 1.0 md127 : inactive sdg12[0](S) 1036148 blocks super 1.0 md3 : active raid1 sdb11[3] sda11[2] 10650988 blocks super 1.0 [2/2] [UU] bitmap: 0/163 pages [0KB], 32KB chunk md0 : active raid1 sdb8[3] sda8[2] 9422016 blocks super 1.0 [2/2] [UU] bitmap: 0/144 pages [0KB], 32KB chunk md4 : active raid1 sda12[2] sdb12[3] 28362652 blocks super 1.0 [2/2] [UU] bitmap: 0/217 pages [0KB], 64KB chunk md7 : active raid1 sdb15[2] sda15[0] 156280216 blocks super 1.0 [2/2] [UU] bitmap: 0/2 pages [0KB], 65536KB chunk md6 : active raid1 sda14[2] sdb14[3] 78140056 blocks super 1.0 [2/2] [UU] bitmap: 0/150 pages [0KB], 256KB chunk md5 : active raid1 sdb13[3] sda13[2] 1036148 blocks super 1.0 [2/2] [UU] bitmap: 0/8 pages [0KB], 64KB chunk md2 : active raid1 sdb10[3] sda10[2] 10650988 blocks super 1.0 [2/2] [UU] bitmap: 0/163 pages [0KB], 32KB chunk md1 : active raid1 sdb9[3] sda9[2] 10650988 blocks super 1.0 [2/2] [UU] bitmap: 0/163 pages [0KB], 32KB chunk unused devices: <none> [1] https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/64889/how-to-mount-recover-data-on… -- "Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom.
