[opensuse] Why so many 32bit packages on 64bit install?
by Larry Stotler 07 Dec '17

07 Dec '17

I just did a fresh install of 42.3 64bit. I had the dvd to do the install, but had to update on a very metered connection, so I went through the installed packages to find out what I could remove to save data. Now, I thought this had been addressed before, but after searching around the archive of this list, I didn't find anything. Why are like 80 some 32bit packages installed by default? I ended up removing and the taboo-ing all of them to save my data allowance. I do not have any 32bit programs installed at all, no WINE or anything else, so I am not sure why so many packages got installed. I allowed YaST to break the dependencies and have not had any issues so far but I am concerned that I may end up with some. So my question is, are there really any 32bit packages that need to be a dependency on a pure 64bit install? If not, then why are they added by default during the install, when no 32bit programs are selected? I've been running S.u.S.E. since v5.3 and I think my biggest frustration has been unwanted packages installed by default as dependencies, or failing to install due to an unsolvable dependency(tho this has gotten rarer over the years, but boy was it a pain when I was on dailup at the beginning). I never install stuff like pulseaudio, avahi, libreoffice, etc. but I'm always warned I may be breaking the install when I taboo a lot of them.

[opensuse] mDNS TTL
by James Knott 07 Dec '17

07 Dec '17

All the recent discussion about mDNS caused me to fire up Wireshark, to look at some mDNS packets. I have seen several queries and responses. The queries have a TTL of 1, which is per spec, but the responses have 255. Why is this? Multicast addresses in the 224.0.0.0/24 range are supposed to only have a TTL of 1. The IPv4 address for mDNS is 224.0.0.251. Typical TTL for outgoing packets is 64. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Where can I find xdpyinfo?
by Bob Williams 07 Dec '17

07 Dec '17

I've recently come across inxi, a great command line program to show tons of information about your system. It will even give you a weather report: 10:40 bob@blackbox:~> inxi -w -xxx Resuming in non X mode: xdpyinfo not found. For package install advice run: inxi --recommends Weather: Conditions: 52 F (11 C) - light rain drizzle Wind: From the SSW at 25 MPH Gusting to 37 MPH Humidity: 94% Pressure: 29.77 in (1008 mb) Location: Steyning P6 (GBR) Altitude: 18 ft Time: December 7, 10:42 AM GMT (Europe/London) Observation Time: December 7, 10:20 AM GMT But it always complains that it cannot find xdpyinfo. I also cannot find it anywhere, either in the openSUSE repos or via Google. Can anyone help?

[opensuse] Leap 42.3 and Radeon RX 480 (Polaris family)
by Michael Fischer 06 Dec '17

06 Dec '17

Anyone got this combination working? Would seem that I'll need to upgrade the kernel to at least 4.8.x to get the right radeon driver goodies - and I wonder how the graphical bits will go until I can do such upgrade... BTW, anyone have thoughts on putting / on an SSD, keeping /home on rust? Obviously, home-on-rust is a tried-and-true thing, but this will be the first machine I've acquired with a sizable SSD, and I'm curious about the pros/cons of putting / on such.

[opensuse] OT: Web App / Service Project
by Paul Groves 06 Dec '17

06 Dec '17

So I am at last tackling my next project which I need to create a service to run on linux in the background with a web front end to manage it. One example would be plex media server, which has a service running as root. The service starts up a web server to allow the user to manage the program from a web front end as well as the service running other code in the background. Of course I am not making my own version of plex, that is just an example of how I need my program to run. Since this is the first time I have made such a program, what would be the best way to go about this? Could apache be used as the web server for this? Any and all advice is appreciated. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] How do you get mdns working?
by Richmond 06 Dec '17

06 Dec '17

I have changed the domain names of two systems to .local, and on both systems: I have the service avahi-daemon running (and /usr/sbin/avahi-dnsconfd -s). I have enabled the Bonjour service in the firewall. I have hosts: files mdns_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns in /etc/nsswitch.conf But if I ping computer2.local or computer2 it does not recognize the name. How do I get this working? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

Where does my user crontab get stored? I have to reconstruct it each time I reinstall the system, so I thought I should add it to my backup. Bob -- Bob Williams System: Linux 4.4.92-31-default Distro: openSUSE 42.3 (x86_64) Desktop: KDE Frameworks: 5.32.0, Qt: 5.6.2 and Plasma: 5.8.7

by Mark Hounschell 06 Dec '17

On Leap 42.3, I find versions 4, 6, and 7 of the gcc compiler. Where do I find version 7 of the g++ compiler. I'm looking for a version that has full c++11 support.
