-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, How does one go about installing mytthv in a single machine? I set to install: mythtv-0_27-frontend - Client component of mythtv (a DVR) Then: mythtv-backend - Server component of mythtv (a DVR) and it wants to remove the front end... What packages are really needed? I want to see already existing files in that computer, there is not TV card. - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.

So? Then grit your teeth and save the money for that day. (What is it with this younger generation that won't face austerity in the now for a better life in the future: see various articles in New Yorker, The Atlantic and Walrus bemoaning this.)

What I'm doing is working on aggressively reducing the number of tabs in Firefox and organizing my bookmarks. I realise this doesn't help with some of the enormous spreadsheets, perhaps I can find a strategy there. Documents can be "chapter-ized", so to speak. Mind maps, Freeplane, well for a start there's the Java interrupter. But the developer says he's working on a library that makes better use of multi-core capability. I don't know if that will be more or less memory hungry. Ultimately, I suppose, it is the interpreter from Oracle that is the limiting feature and they tend to be a memory hungry bunch of <deleted>. >> I don't know how to track this kind of problem for bug reporting. > > Seeing as it happens in both Firefox and Chrome for me, I am not sure it can > even be accepted as a valid bug. When it gets to hang the machine to a point where the mouse doesn't respond, where you can't even hot-key into a TTY, then I think it is a bit more than memory consumption and a high load factor. I have a very large swap area, thank you LVM, and have gone off for a coffee break and read the news on my phone and come back and the machine is still hung. It if was just memory and swap it would, eventually, wind down. That level of incapacity gets back to the kernel. Faster swap won't help in that situation. all faster swap does is compress time, and as I've seen, time is not a fix. I suspect that memory won't be a fix for whatever it is that is stretching the kernel to its capacity in this situation; all more memory does is push that limit out further, needing 1,000 tabs instead of just 450. -- 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] Weird automount behavior
by Scott Simpson 25 Nov '17

25 Nov '17

OpenSUSE Tumbleweed (latest code) I have some automounts I'm using with ypbind. Some of the automounts work on my local machine and some of them don't (the ones accessed during boot work but the automounts not accessed during boot don't work after the machine is up). Here are my automounts: ssimpson@madhatter:~$ ypcat -k auto.master /people auto.people /apps auto.apps ssimpson@madhatter:~$ ypcat -k auto.apps build 192.168.2.1:/home/mounts/& software 192.168.2.1:/& multimedia 192.168.2.1:/& win 192.168.2.1:/home/mounts/& local 192.168.2.1:/home/mounts/& ssimpson@madhatter:~$ On my local machine 192.168.2.1, /apps/local works (since it was accessed on boot) but /apps/multimedia doesn't! ssimpson@madhatter:~$ ls /apps/local bacula bin gorilla krb5kdc lib sbin share shellenv zm ssimpson@madhatter:~$ ls /apps/multimedia ls: cannot access '/apps/multimedia': No such file or directory ssimpson@madhatter:~$ If I go to another machine on my network, both work: ssimpson@mythtv:~$ ls /apps/local bacula bin gorilla krb5kdc lib sbin share shellenv zm ssimpson@mythtv:~$ ls /apps/multimedia Family.mpg ssimpson@mythtv:~$ This only broke recently (in the last few months). The /etc/exports file is good otherwise the mythtv machine wouldn't be able to see the NFS mounts.

[opensuse] NFS filesystem size
by Rejaine Monteiro 24 Nov '17

24 Nov '17

Hello, Could anyone tell me if there is any max NFS mounted filesystem size ? I'm noticing some strange DBUS bugs in Evolution and Thunderbird when the user's HOMEDIR is mounted when server exporting a 1.5TB disk/partition. The same server exporting the same HOMEDIR with a smaller disk, problems do not occur (the only variable is the size of the exported partitions) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] kmail must have missed an update in the past
by C. Brouerius van Nidek 24 Nov '17

24 Nov '17

Remember that in the past pop emails could be found under " ~/.local/share/akonadi_maildir_resource_0" At the moment nothing is to be found in that directory but everything is found instead under the old directory "~.local/share/.local-mail.directory" Kmail is for the moment working satisfactory but I have the feeling that not all functions are working but there is nothing I miss . Is there a way to get the emails transferred to the directory "akonadi_maildir_resource_0" or should I keep it where it is now? -- opensuse:tumbleweed:20171122 Qt: 5.9.2 KDE Frameworks: 5.40.0 kf5-config KDE Plasma: 5.11.3 plasmashell 5.11.3 Kernel: 4.14.0-1-default~ Linux User 183145 working on a Pentium IV . -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Hackweek project: encrypted installation media
by Steffen Winterfeldt 23 Nov '17

Hi, - You’re still carrying around your precious autoyast config files on an unencrypted usb stick? - You have a customized installation disk that could reveal lots of personal details? - You use ad blockers, private browser tabs, or even tor but still carry around your install or rescue disk unencrypted for everyone to see? - You have your personal files and an openSUSE installation tree on the same partition just because you are lazy and can’t be bothered to tidy things up? - A simple Linux install stick is just not geekish enough for you? *** Not any longer! *** Interested?

[opensuse] Can't scp files to Tumbleweed box anymore?
by Christopher Myers 22 Nov '17

22 Nov '17

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 I'm not 100% sure at what point this broke, but I do know that it's been working sometime in the last few weeks. I regularly SCP log files from our servers to my Tumbleweed laptop for sending off to vendors, etc. However, the last few days I've noticed that this doesn't work anymore. I can pull them from my laptop successfully, but can't push them to my laptop. But, I don't see any errors reported by SCP, even with -vvv This is the results of the "-vvv" when trying to push a file from a server to my laptop (which doesn't work): http://susepaste.org/385d7b71 This is the results of the "-vvv", when trying to pull a file from a server onto my laptop (which does work): http://susepaste.org/f8874577 (Both of these logs start after I enter my authentication, either my password (for server to laptop) or SSH key passowrd (for laptop from server)) I've tried pushing files from: RHEL5 RHEL6 SLES12 openSuSE 13.2 but none of them are able to send the file successfully. I'm able to pull files from them all though. Also, this all used to work on all of these boxes until recently. I'm currently running oS Tumbleweed 20171113, but this was happening during my last version as well (I'm guessing I installed the last update the middle of last week.) Any ideas??

[opensuse] Different TRIM Behavior in LEAP than SLES?
by Eric Robinson 22 Nov '17

22 Nov '17

I have 2 Dell servers which formerly had SLES 12 SP2 installed, and fstrim worked fine on my SSD drives. Then I formatted both systems and installed LEAP 42.3. Now I get the following on both... fstrim: /: the discard operation is not supported No hardware has changed. The only thing that changed is the OS. Does LEAP disable some kind of TRIM functionality? --Eric -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
