[opensuse] How do you stop multicast dns messages on the virtual consoles?
by Richmond 05 Dec '17

05 Dec '17

How do you stop multicast dns messages on the virtual consoles? It wouldn't be so bad if it were just one virtual console, but they appear on all of them, making them all unusable. I have tried making this change, but it didn't stop them. diff /etc/nsswitch.conf~ /etc/nsswitch.conf 32c32 < hosts: files mdns_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns --- > hosts: files dns -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Looking for openSUSE Account management
by Bjoern Voigt 04 Dec '17

04 Dec '17

Hello, I am searching for an user-friendly account management solution for openSUSE and for a small company with around 15 users. For security reasons I used different passwords for different users in the past (e.g. a user has one username/password für SMTP/IMAP, one for Apache authentication, one for Samba). This isn't so critical anymore, because most services are secured by a restricted VPN (user authentication with smart card and user/password authentication) now. Unfortunately the existing solution can't be managed user-friendly and it does not scale, if the company grows: * users can not change their passwords in most services * users can not recovery their lost passwords in most services * password change and password recovery functions in one service can not be used for other services (e.g. the command line program to change Samba passwords from Microsoft can not change the Apache password) * I do not want to know the passwords for my users as Root (resetting passwords for other users should work) Here is my wishlist for the account management solution: * users can change their passwords with a user-friendly application or a web portal * users can recovery their lost passwords via e-mail (or an other alternative) * common services like Apache, Dovecot, Samba are supported * administrators can manage all accounts * support for Windows 10/Mac users and Linux servers (openSUSE, Ubuntu) * password synchronization or password caches between the Linux servers (no single point of failure) * secure passwords (e.g. no MD5 encrypted passwords), password rules and other common security features (e.g. Fail2Ban support) * commercial solutions which costs more than 1000 EUR each year are less attractive Any tips?

The migration to 42.3 with over 1/2 its usable lifetime expired makes little since. In the past when circumstances such as this arose, there were accommodations made to insure there wasn't a forced update to a version that would expire within 12 months. This is another good opportunity to do so. The two-year lifecycle is a good thing, but when version releases are pushed, then it would make sense to extend for just these reasons. I take the fact that 15 isn't out -- as a good sign that it will be robustly tested and QA'ed before making a grand appearance. -- David C.

[opensuse] Again, trying to find a suitable video editor.
by Carlos E. R. 02 Dec '17

02 Dec '17

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I simply can't find a suitable video editor that works. My goal is to extract the interesting parts of a TV recording. Ie, mark the start of the movie, the end, the commercials inside, and dump all that into a single file, perhaps recoding. One limitation is that movies here have two sound tracks, one in Spanish, and the other one in the original language, typically English. I want to keep both, obviously. I don't need any transition or effect, just a simple editor that allows me to remove unwanted sections. I have tried: pitivi - crashes on start LiVES - works for an hour at 100% CPU and can't load the file. dvbcut - says my mpeg file is not a video (and it certainly is!) tragtor - can convert, but not edit. openshot - almost. My video has two sound tracks, and this tool ignores the second track. cinelerra-cv - I can't make head or tails of it. I tell it to load a video file, it does, but then I don't see how to do anything. It doesn't even display the video. I may have to read the manual, but I dislike having to read a manual for a GUI. Still... kdenlive - Well... crashes too often. I can mark the cuts, but it does not display what I'm cutting. And only one sound track. HandBrake - no edit. Avidemux - one sound track only. Kino - abandonware. Lightworks ?? Shotcut - Segmentation fault on start. cer@Telcontar:~/Videos/Fusion/trabajo> shotcut QSqlDatabase: QSQLITE driver not loaded QSqlDatabase: available drivers: QMYSQL QMYSQL3 QSqlQuery::exec: database not open QSqlQuery::exec: database not open Database::Database(QObject*) Failed to get version. QSqlQuery::exec: database not open bool Database::upgradeVersion1() Failed to create thumbnails table. Database version is 0 Segmentation fault cer@Telcontar:~/Videos/Fusion/trabajo> Flowblade ?? I don't understand the tool. May need some reading. At least it runs. I would like something that would produce a command line to ffmpeg in a GUI. Then I could modify further the options. This would be ideal. tragtor works this way, but has no editor. - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.

[opensuse] bluetooth problem (42.3, 42.1)
by listreader 02 Dec '17

02 Dec '17

I have a new Dell T3620 workstation which has a very cool wireless keyboard (WK717) that handles 3 devices simultaneously (hardware slide-switch on top the keyboard). One connection is by a Dell proprietary dongle, similar to a Logitech dongle, and the other two connections are bluetooth. Didn't come with the extra bluetooth dongles needed for most desktops so I bought a couple on eBay that are fully within the Dell specs and also listed in the (old?) openSUSE HCL as working (Cambridge CSR 4.0) My main business OS on the T3620 is 42.3 with a XFCE desktop. The wireless dongle is connected to this one and works great in 42.3, instantly recognized, instant plug-and-play. The second machine I need to connect is an old HP DC7800 Core 2 Duo with a half-dozen OS's on-board. I plugged in a bluetooth dongle and booted up Win10 and that was plug-and-play, OS found the dongle, presented a bluetooth icon in the tray, and pairing to the keyboard was easy. But, the OS I need to use with the bluetooth on this machine is 42.1 with an LXDE desktop and I'm not getting how to get it working. The 42.1 boots with the dongle down, I can 'hciconfig' to bring it up and then it's recognized fine. But 'hcitool scan' doesn't find the keyboard. The lights come on both the dongle and the keyboard but They don't find each other. BUT! The only other bluetooth device I have here today is a phone and the phone and the dongle do see each other fine AND the phone and the keyboard also see each other fine. So why don't the dongle and the keyboard see each other? I'm a bluetooth dummy and I'm obviously missing something here. What? Thanks.

[opensuse] wavemon function
by Koenraad Lelong 02 Dec '17

02 Dec '17

Hi, Does anyone know of a tool like wavemon ? I would like to have the "scan" results on the command-line, not in a ncurses window. iwlist is of no use, I don't have the skills to make bash parse it to get the signal info from the different "cells".

[opensuse] conflict between nut and apcupsd - really?
by Peter Suetterlin 02 Dec '17

02 Dec '17

Hi list, it seems nut and apcupsd refuse to be installed at the same time. The nut package lists a conflict with apcupsd, apcupsd itself seems not to care. This is strange, as I cannot find a real collision between the two packages? Digging into this 'conflict' I found a notice on the debian list that nut needs to conflict with apcupsd because both use /etc/init.d/ups-monitor. Now that is somewhat ridiculous in itself (rather rename init scripts or use alternatives I'd say), but for recent OS systems the file isn't there at all and all systemd stuff seems to use 'personalized' commands. So is - as I assume - this collision only a historical one that should be removed? I really want both installed, not for monitoring, but for maintainance of UPSes (we have many, of various brands, and nut does not support all commands on APC units...) Still googling around to find out how to override that conflict. Is there one, or do I have to unpack the rpm manually and install it without knowledge of the packet manager?

[opensuse] File attributes for 2to3 in Tumbleweed
by Luis Falcon 02 Dec '17

Hi there ! It seems like the exec flag is missing for 2to3-3.6, on package python3-tools. So now need to invoke it calling python. In previous versions the exec mode was set. Just wondering if this is intended or we forgot to set it. # rpm -qlv python3-tools -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 95 Nov 26 12:14 /usr/bin/2to3-3.6 Bests -- Dr. Luis Falcon, M.D., BSc President, GNU Solidario GNU Health: Freedom and Equity in Healthcare http://health.gnu.org GNUPG Fingerprint :ACBF C80F C891 631C 68AA 8DC8 C015 E1AE 0098 9199 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] systemctl stop graphical.target
by Richmond 02 Dec '17

02 Dec '17

If I can start X with: systemctl start graphical.target should I not also be able to stop it again with: systemctl stop graphical.target ? I have found this leaves the system unusable with no virtual console or graphical interface, so I have to reboot. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] perl installs from cpan [42.3]
by listreader 02 Dec '17

02 Dec '17

When I make/install (sudo) a perl script downloaded from cpan it gets installed without user eXecute rights on the directories, which requires me to do a post-install 'find-and-chmod' treewalk to correct. Is this by design or am I missing something? Thanks. Ralph -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
