[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

dic 21 22:56:58 linux-hk9l.suse systemd-coredump[6171]: Process 5677 (dragon) of user 1001 dumped core. What? I do not know of dragons, so I would like to ask for curiosity: what kind of dragons I have on my system (or better what could give such a curious error message?) _________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________ Ihre E-Mail-Postf�cher sicher & zentral an einem Ort.

[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.

[opensuse] Help with IPv6
by Mark Petersen 23 Dec '17

23 Dec '17

I have a computer running Tumbleweed that I'm using as a router. I am using wicked for network management. I have 1 interface (enp5s6) connected to the wan using dhcp. I have 1 interface (enp3s0 bridged br0) connected to the lan with a static ip address. In YaST2 on the routing tab of network settings I have Enable IPv4 & IPv6 Forwarding checked. In Yast2 in the Masquerading section of Firewall, I have Masquerade Networks checked. I have dnsmasq taking care of dns and dhcp. This all works, but I would like to get IPv6 working. I found this guide https://doc.opensuse.org/documentation/leap/reference/html/ book.opensuse.reference/cha.basicnet.html and created the 50-router.conf file. After several reboots of the computer and modem, I'm not getting an IPv6 address assigned to the interface. n1250:~ # ip a 1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000 link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00 inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever inet6 ::1/128 scope host valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 2: enp3s0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast master br0 state UP group default qlen 1000 link/ether 50:e5:49:c6:1a:e0 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 3: enp5s6: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000 link/ether 00:50:04:22:fd:33 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 174.1xx.xxx.xxx/20 brd 255.255.255.255 scope global enp5s6 valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever inet6 fe80::250:4ff:fe22:fd33/64 scope link valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 5: br0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP group default qlen 1000 link/ether 50:e5:49:c6:1a:e0 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 192.168.0.50/24 brd 192.168.0.255 scope global br0 valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever inet6 fe80::52e5:49ff:fec6:1ae0/64 scope link valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever I only have an fe80 address.

[opensuse] Best Upnp server
by Paul Groves 23 Dec '17

23 Dec '17

Hi All, So I have a rather substantial collection of music films etc on my server which I would like to access from my ubuntu and opensuse pcs, my PS3 and also kodi. I uses to use Plex media server for absolutely ages until they started removing features so you have to buy premium. I uninstalled it once they stopped transcoding from working therefore rendering all of my flac and mkv files useless on my PS3. So the question is which Upnp server is best? My requirements are it must be free or open source and support transcoding so my flac, mkv files etc can play on the PS3. What do you all use?

[opensuse] ntpd and systemd
by Peter Suetterlin 23 Dec '17

23 Dec '17

Hi, While checking logs for some other stuff I stumbled across a line systemd-timesyncd[917]: Synchronized to time server 216.239.35.0:123 (time1.google.com) WTF!? I have ntpd enabled and configured to sync to our server, but woodstock:~ # systemctl status ntpd ● ntpd.service - NTP Server Daemon Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/ntpd.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled) Drop-In: /run/systemd/generator/ntpd.service.d └─50-insserv.conf-$time.conf Active: inactive (dead) Docs: man:ntpd(1) Instead systemd-timesyncd is running and syncing to those google servers. No mention of ntpd *at all* in the logs. (This is a tumbleweed system, up-to-date with systemd-234-9.1 and ntp-4.2.8p10) So why does this f*****g systemd decide it rather wants to use its own thing than what I tell it to do? Sometimes I really feel like giving it an asskick to Mars without return ticket.... ...but maybe that would be unfair to the Martians? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] why does thunderbird always aks me about add-ons?
by Daniel Bauer 23 Dec '17

23 Dec '17

Often, when I start thunderbird, instead of shownig me my emails it says something like: an addon wants to change your thunderbird (translated from german) I then must click a select box and click "continue" for each add-on. With some of them it asks to restart thunderbird. So I have three restarts until thunderbird finally has the kindness of letting me access my emails. How comes, this program asks me the same again and again? It is really annoying. How can I tell it once and for ever that I really want the add-ons I have installed (mostly spell checkers in different languages)?
