[opensuse] Tar Read volume label only
by Paul Groves 29 Nov '17

29 Nov '17

Hi, Might be a simple one. I have a tape with no sticky label and I want to read the volume label which was set with --label="volumelabel" when the archive was written I could do tar -tvf /dev/st0 to get the table of contents which has the volume label at the top. e.g. V--------- 0/0 0 yyyy-mm-dd 00:00 volumelabel--Volume Header-- files list here But is there a way just to read ONLY the volume label with tar?

[opensuse] systemd - zgrep -m1 gives me "gzip: stdout: Broken pipe" ?
by Per Jessen 29 Nov '17

29 Nov '17

Okay, I need another pair of eyes - in a bash script, I have "zgrep -m1 SOA file.gz". The script is being run under systemd. The line with SOA is found, but I always get "gzip: stdout: Broken pipe". zgrep is obviously "gzip -dc | grep". I guess grep closes early when the first line is found, but why does this produce the error when running under systemd? If I remove the '-m1', no problem, no message. In the console, if I run the "zgrep -m1" manually or from within a script, no problem, no message. The script itself (suitably redacted) is nothing much: #!/bin/sh sec=47 addr=1.2.3.4 name=myscript version=1.1 echo "$name started, version $version, cwd=$PWD" trap "echo \"$name terminated\"" exit while true do a=$(date +%S) a=${a#0} w=$(((60+sec-a)%60)) sleep $w echo "running rsync ..." rsync -rvt -q -4 --address=$addr etc etc zgrep -m1 SOA newfile.gz make -r -C /srv/rbldnsd 2>&1 >>updatelog sleep 1 done -- Per Jessen, Zürich (3.9°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - virtual servers, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Hamachi equivalents?
by Christopher Myers 29 Nov '17

29 Nov '17

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 In the past I've used Hamachi to get around my ISP's NAT issues at home, but it doesn't work on newer versions of linux, including Tumbleweed: https://community.logmein.com/t5/LogMeIn-Hamachi-Discussion s/Ubuntu-17-10-hamachid-crashes-on-login-glibc-2-26/td-p/141071 Out of curiosity, does anyone know of alternatives to Hamachi? I found https://www.dynvpn.com/ which seems to have the same functionality, but I'm weird about not wanting to install software on my machines when I don't know anything about the company, especially when its explicit intent is to intentionally create a backdoor.

[opensuse] BIOS updates
by Tom Kacvinsky 29 Nov '17

29 Nov '17

Lost the thread from yesterday about BIOS updates on Lenovo laptops. I have been told that the executables provided by various laptop providers are really UEFI executables that you can copy to /boot/efi, reboot, and select the firmware upgrade for the executables options. I am going to try this on my Dell and report back, but I don't know how well it will work on Lenovos. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Installing IME firmware updates in openSuSE
by Christopher Myers 28 Nov '17

28 Nov '17

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 I ran Intel's IME firmware bug detection tool on my Lenovo T570 today, and it said that my laptop is vulnerable and to contact my vendor. So I went to Lenovo's website and found patches...for Windows only. I'm going to bet that Lenovo won't release Linux patches, or bootable CDs with firmware patches, etc. Out of curiosity, how are others addressing things like this? Do I really have to swap out my hard drive with a Windows version to install the patch, and then revert back to my nice safe Linux home afterwards? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEzBAEBCgAdFiEE7GM/Dul8WSWn72odQ1nEo4DFCIUFAlode84ACgkQQ1nEo4DF CIUyAgf/eN/8zHeQVUqtrDgovckKz0QR9elBfgQKkLK/pVzeTpC9GKtKGzj7uNN+ RxTVc3Rdj0WzcoU7VfgvxAXj14B5TOpG/zEwdtPd5m1HtcvRPxOHYFQllGzKJgPx p5zF0gQ8TElLnskkO94AQDU0OAL/usgwqWtvPvu0nzS3EVr9NnezIdflxtsYLIDD Hhf+AwL6X1DfkEO7WsWFP5jEZU9KatfHgT9UP5msPU76Hk17b/ZSNX0GrO1vHNdk BPU+BJYNYlo5KvvSkk9pHz+t65H9l7iFNdh0rRjGxepmjDATdGKOWQOHbq+EQag4 991GWaYrrDG7rXq+JTglL6fkqg/LBQ== =N7ib -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

[opensuse] network change, name resolving and nscd
by Peter Suetterlin 28 Nov '17

28 Nov '17

Hi list, I noticed a really weird behavior of my laptop, running TW: I regularly switch it between work and home network, I suspend the laptop, move to home/work, wand resume there in the new network. In both cases I use the wired eth0 interface, in both networks address and routers/nameservers are assigned via dhcp. Now, especially when I get to work after having run at home for a while, I experience a delay in name resolving. If I ping a machine, even in the same network as the laptop, it takes 2-3s before the pigs start. It is not a slow nameserver - a nslookup host immediately gives me the correct answer. Still just using the hostname for commands like ping (but also ssh) results in the mentioned delay. The culprit seems nscd, because if I restart it, name resolving is immediately OK again. I tried to figure out *what* nscd is doing in theis few seconds, but didn't get anywhere. While I can of course restart nscd manually each time, I wonder if this is a bug I should report, or if I'm doing something wrong (but what?)... Has someone seen similar hangs after a network change?

[opensuse] SOT: fetchmail and AOL's SSL mail
by Jeffrey L. Taylor 28 Nov '17

28 Nov '17

While I was on vacation, my wife's AOL account switched to mandatory SSL e-mail. It's taken me several hours of Googling and fiddling to find something that works. The non-obvious key was to specify SSL, not SSLPROTO. The first few lines of .fetchmailrc needs to look something like this: poll pop.aol.com with proto POP3 service pop3s user 'AOL_username' there with password 'AOL_PASSWORD' ssl is I'm posting here because it is the only place I have OT access to that Google and probably other search engines will index. SSLPROTO 'TLS1' does not work. Perhaps another SSL protocol would. I see no reason to override AOL's first choice.

[opensuse] OpenSuSE 42.3 with 3 media plus 3 media Addon?
by Markus Egg 28 Nov '17

28 Nov '17

Hello, from https://software.opensuse.org/find I came to https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/Leap:/42.3/images/repo/ and there I see: [DIR] openSUSE-42.3-x86_64-Build0065-Media1/ 08-Feb-2017 17:32 [DIR] openSUSE-42.3-x86_64-Build0065-Media2/ 08-Feb-2017 17:32 [DIR] openSUSE-42.3-x86_64-Build0065-Media3/ 08-Feb-2017 17:33 [DIR] openSUSE-Addon-NonOss-FTP-x86_64-Build0082-Media1/ 17-Jul-2017 16:11 [DIR] openSUSE-Addon-NonOss-FTP-x86_64-Build0082-Media2/ 17-Jul-2017 16:11 [DIR] openSUSE-Addon-NonOss-FTP-x86_64-Build0082-Media3/ 17-Jul-2017 16:11 Are the 3 media containing all of SuSE 42.3 so that I never have to connect to internet for installing various repos which are not on the official single DVD? Also the 3 media for the Addon stuff? 6 DVDs -to get it all- would be very nice. ;-) BR -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Leap 42.3 suddenly doesnt assign ipv4 default route via dhcpv4 any more?
by cagsm 27 Nov '17

27 Nov '17

Hi there, today I was called to figure out what network trouble there was going on. Turns out that a 42.3 leap installation configured for dhcp v4, was getting its address but wasnt getting a default route at all. route -n shows only the local lan ipv6 route is there The only stuff I can think of right now is this recent yast network update. I have rebooted the leap machine several times and I even checked # wicked check dhcp4 eth0 or that command it fetches the dhcp information nicely and in there are the gateways and route shown, but the network stack from the actual wicked stack running doesnt assign or use this gateway info What happened? Is anyone else having trouble with dhcp4 on a simple lan? this is like very basic stuff, wondering if its again me messing stuff up, although I cant remember anything :( Thanks for helping. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] OT: Strange Idea Proof of Concept
by Paul Groves 27 Nov '17

27 Nov '17

Someone said to me the other day that it is possible to convert a linux install ISO, such as openSUSE, Fedora or Ubuntu and put it on floppy disks to install from directly with no CD. Of course it would be very impractical and also would use many floppies. But then perhaps it could be useful for some uses (although I could not imagine any). Now personally I have a few floppies with PLOP bootloader on them. I haven't used them for a while but occasionally I will come across a computer with a botched CD drive or the USB ports will not work in the BIOS so it is useful to boot to PLOP then choose the linux USB or CD. However, I was quite intrigued by this floppy idea and thought it would be a good proof of concept. What ways are there that one would could use to achieve this? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
