[opensuse] Blue background printing Web pages
by Jeffrey L. Taylor 30 Dec '17

30 Dec '17

Often when I print a Web page, there is a blue background under much of it. This makes it hard to read and is using up my ink. Unchecking Background Graphics does not get rid of it. Any thoughts? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Ripping PS1 Games to ISO
by Paul Groves 30 Dec '17

30 Dec '17

Hi, So I am trying to backup my ps1 games to ISO files. I specifically need ISO to use with an emulator. I am unable to find any toolk e.g. k3b, brasero etc. to do this because PS1 games are a mixed mode disc and none of these tools appear to be compatible. So I have found this script: https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/ju4m5/how_do_i_rip_a_ps1_cd_using_d… Which successfully generated a bin and cue file but I cannot seem to convert said bin/cue to iso I must be doing something wrong here because I have tried 6 games with the same error. Can anyone enlighten me? Below is the output from bchunk. I cannot find much information about this error online. Is there an alternative to bchunk perhaps? bchunk -v -p pmw.bin pmw.cue pmw.iso binchunker for Unix, version 1.2.0 by Heikki Hannikainen <hessu(a)hes.iki.fi> Created with the kind help of Bob Marietta <marietrg(a)SLU.EDU>, partly based on his Pascal (Delphi) implementation.

[opensuse] Correct setup for avr-gcc/avr-libc
by Simon Heimbach 30 Dec '17

30 Dec '17

Hello everyone! Since a couple of weeks my avr-toolchain installation is broken. It started with an update that resulted in a file-conflict between avr-insight and avr-libc. I choose avr-libc as I couldn't remember having ever had installed insighed. Now avr-gcc/avr-ld complains about the object-file for the microcontroller: /opt/cross/lib/gcc/avr/5.4.0/../../../../avr/bin/ld: cannot find crtatmega32u2.o I have installed several versions of cross-avr-gcc from this repo: CrossToolchain:avr I have also tried to install everything from source with no success. Actually the file does exist here: /usr/avr/sys-root/lib/avr35. And even when I force link it, I get the same error message. Can anyone point me how to solve this issue? Many thanks in advance!

[opensuse] LVM devices not being recognized by kdump initrd
by Jason Voorhees 29 Dec '17

29 Dec '17

Hello guys: I'm running suse 12 in a HP Proliant DL580 G9 server which is currently having some strange issues. I've recently configured kdump (using YaST and Low+High mem values) but I'm unable to make it work. Everytime I try to execute a SysRq (echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger9 to make my system crash and kdump to get started, I get an error like this: Starting Setup Virtual Console... [OK] Started Setup Virtual Console. Starting Dracut Emergency Shell... Warning: /dev/mapper/3600508b1001c0dff3dd8a8f270cec052_part1 does not exist Warning: /dev/mapper/vg00-lvcrash does not exist Warning: /dev/mapper/vg00-lvroot does not exist Warning: /dev/mapper/vg00-lvswap does not exist Warning: /dev/mapper/vg00-lvswap02 does not exist Warning: /dev/vg00/lvcrash does not exist Warning: /dev/vg00/lvroot does not exist Warning: /dev/vg00/lvswap does not exist Warning: /dev/vg00/lvswap02 does not exist Warning: Boot has failed. To debug this issue add "rd.shell rd.debug" to the kernel command line. [FAILED] Failed to start Dracut Emergency Shell. See "systemctl status dracut-emergency.service" for details. [OK] Started dracut initqueue hook. [OK] Reached target Initrd Root File System. [OK] Starting Reload Configuration from the Real Root... [OK] Reached target Remote File Systems (Pre). [OK] Reached target Remote File Systems. [OK] Started Reload Configuration from the Real Root. [OK] Reached target Initrd File Systems. Those Warning messages refer to LVM and/or multipath devices not being recognized. It seems that kdump initrd file does not contain the appropriate kernel modules or maybe some internal script is failing to recognize my LVM devices. My volume group vg00 resides in a local disk (no SAN), however the underlying disk appears in the output of "multipath -ll" command as if it were a SAN disk. Take a look at this: 3600508b1001c0dff3dd8a8f270cec052 dm-0 HP,LOGICAL VOLUME size=1.6T features='1 queue_if_no_path' hwhandler='0' wp=rw `-+- policy='service-time 0' prio=1 status=active `- 0:1:0:0 sda 8:0 active ready running What I've tried so far: 1. Uncompress kdump initrd file to see if dm-mod and dm-multipath modules are included. I confirm that those modules exist inside such ramdisk file. 2. Add (then remove) root_no_dm=1 and root_no_mpath=1 to /etc/sysconfig/kdump followed by a "mkdumprd -f" and "rckdump restart". I had no luck, my vg00 is not recognized yet. 3. Rebuild the kdump initrd by runnnig "mkdumprd -f -i lvm2" trying to force lvm2 module to be included. No luck. I wonder if you can help me, maybe give me some ideas or similar experieces you've had before. Thanks in advance for your time. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] mouse pointer in seamonkey 2.49
by Istvan Gabor 28 Dec '17

28 Dec '17

Hello: I have installed seamonkey 2.49.1 in openSUSE Leap 42.2. The fonts and the mouse pointer look different than in other applications. I guess it is because seamonkey 2.49 uses gtk3. How can I set gtk3 fonts and mouse pointer theme in openSUSE Leap 42.2? I use KDE3 if it does matter, but KDE4 packages are also installed.

[opensuse] YaST software update - optional not optional?
by Dave Howorth 27 Dec '17

27 Dec '17

I'm looking at the YaST2 graphical update screen and as well as a bunch of recommended updates there are two optional updates, one for 'pam' and one for 'mysql-connector-spp'. They've been there before and I had been ignoring them. Today I notice that the update for 'pam' is marked 'Install' and YaST won't let me mark it 'Do Not Install', though it will let me mark it 'Taboo'. Does anybody understand what is going on, or how to get it let me not install the update? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] best FS for Linux and Windows
by David T-G 26 Dec '17

26 Dec '17

Hi again, all -- I'm running a dual-boot system (Win 7 and SuSE 42.3 at least for now) and I would like to have all user content in a data volume accessable to both. With the demise of XP and the loss of Explore2FS (IIRC), I don't know of a good filesystem for use under both. I certainly can use NTFS, since Linux can read & write pretty stably, but it of course has no concept of *NIX permissions (including execution). Got any ideas for something that works under both but also looks fairly Linux-ish? TIA again & HH :-D -- David T-G See http://justpickone.org/davidtg/email/ See http://justpickone.org/davidtg/tofu.txt -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] windows 10, 42.3 and uefi
by jdd＠dodin.org 25 Dec '17

25 Dec '17

Hello, It's the first time I have this problem and I don't know what to search in google. It's about an ASUS eepc, with 4GB ram and 300GB HDD, amd processor, uefi firmware. I started with 42.3 basic install and wanted to have it dualboot windows 10. I used a official windows 10 dvd on usb pen. I could boot, enter install system, but had to delete all the installed partitions for windows accepting to create the two install partitions (I guess EFI and windows on GPT). I used only 100GB. Then when I was to install 42.3 yast said it couldn't create any partition on the free disk space for partition table problem. What can I do either in windows or yast to solve this problem? I can probably start a recovery session to get infos as needed, but what kind of infos? 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] The grinch packaged VB PUEL version for 5.2.4 -- doesn't update 5.1.X
by David C. Rankin 25 Dec '17

25 Dec '17

Just a note that the suse rpms at virtualbox.org for 5.2.4 will attempt to install without removing 5.1.X versions on your system. No big deal, just remove the 5.1.X version and then install 5.2.4, but it is a surprise.... I haven't tried to locate the .spec yet, but I suspect the fact that it is packaged with 'Name' of 'VirtualBox-5.2' prevents it from seeing the prior version as what it is an update for. Virtualbox trivia for opensuse, when installing the extension-pack, you can determine the auto --accept-license= checksum with: --accept-license="$(sha256sum /usr/lib/virtualbox/ExtensionPacks/Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack/ExtPack-license.txt | head --bytes=64)" (just because inquiring minds need to know...) -- David C.
