[opensuse] Leap 421 to 423 upgrade problem - udev
by listreader 14 Dec '17

14 Dec '17

I just upgraded my last 421 to 423. Kept the LXDE (gtk) desktop. Not so smooth upgrade. I didn't uninstall a proprietary driver first because: what could go wrong :-D Answer: ha ha ha. Hours to figure out what was going on and then to fix it. And the needed proprietary uninstaller was, of course, on an inaccessible LUKS drive. But anyway, now fixed. Another problem, not fixed: everything seems to work fine but the log is filled with thousands of the following lines (except the first line, which isn't repeated). The lines continue to be generated after the system is running. systemd[1]: Started udev Kernel Device Manager. systemd-udevd[1079]: failed to execute '/usr/lib/udev/socket:@/org/freedesktop/hal/udev_event' 'socket:@/org/freedesktop/hal/udev_event': No such file or directory systemd-udevd[1077]: Process 'socket:@/org/freedesktop/hal/udev_event' failed with exit code 2. systemd-udevd[1086]: failed to execute '/usr/lib/udev/socket:@/org/freedesktop/hal/udev_event' 'socket:@/org/freedesktop/hal/udev_event': No such file or directory systemd-udevd[1077]: Process 'socket:@/org/freedesktop/hal/udev_event' failed with exit code 2. Anyone know what these messages mean? Thanks. Ralph -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Fritz!Box telephony in the US
by ken 14 Dec '17

14 Dec '17

While hoping that the FCC doesn't kill network neutrality, I'm thinking about setting up VoIP at home to kiss my monthly phone bill good-bye. I've read up a bit on the router made in Germany called the Fritz!Box which purports to include in it the hardware and software and that it will work with US phones (the old, standard landline phones every American over twelve should have seen). Does anyone have first-hand experience using VoIP with the Fritz!Box in the US? I'm considering their model 7590. Thanks. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Calibre version
by Josep 13 Dec '17

13 Dec '17

Hi, I'm trying to use Calibre on Opensuse 42.2. but it seems that the version in repositories is too old for my purposes. As I been said from Calibre bug list I should update in order to get my Kindle Oasis detected. How should I do this? Should I install as binary or should I add a new repository in case it exists? What's the best option? Thanks in advance Josep M Sole -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

During zypper dup to1210 I got Ctr+Alt+F2 log in ctl unlock-session1 Ctrl+Alt-F7 That did not work! After update with snapshot1210 all worked well, but I had lost the choice for Windows10 during start up. How can I correct this?

This is exactly what I did (booted from both harddisks and tried every combination of partitions in root, cmdpath and prefix). grub2 also finds the needed files (otherwise the error is "file `linux.mod' not found."). But it keeps the error about grub_tpm_measure, despite which module I try to load normal or linux. as both hard disks are raid1, the content should also be the same, only 2 partitions, swap at the beginning and btrfs containing all other filesystems. Another idea: Are there commands I can boot into an older snapshot (previous installed kernel...)? >> >> A few more words to the installation: >> It was a clean Leap 42.2 install.

[opensuse] Cleanest way to mount LUKS
by Mikhail Ramendik 12 Dec '17

12 Dec '17

Hello, I would like to create a LUKS drive, requiring a password to access, in order to store data for a confidential project. I don't think I want to encrypt the entire machine as my CPU is pretty basic (Pentium G2120) and I'm worried about performance. (Or is this a non-issue?) Anyway - what is the cleanest way to create and then mount a LUKS drive in Leap? Ideally I want some sort of automount with a GUI prompt for password when I try to access the path. I could live with a manual mount command and password entry. provided I do not have to do it as root. Also, should I use a file or a partition? Is it possible to have a LUKS drive that grows automatically as needed if I use a file? -- Yours, Mikhail Ramendik Unless explicitly stated, all opinions in my mail are my own and do not reflect the views of any organization -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] preempt rt and Leap 42.3 kernel
by Roger Oberholtzer 12 Dec '17

12 Dec '17

I think there was a discussion about this a while back. But I'm just checking the current consensus. The Leap 42.3 kernel seems not to have the PREEMPT_RT patches applied. Or at least I do not see it in uname -a. Is this correct? I recall that there was some discussion that concluded that the default Linux kernel has most of this as standard, so the patch was no longer needed. Is that the case? -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Nautilus/totem, viewing a video from phone
by Carlos E. R. 10 Dec '17

10 Dec '17

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I'm clearing out whatsap videos from my Android phone. Nautilus opens the folder on the phone using MTP. I can view those files with Xine, but not with Totem, which complains that "MTP protocol source is required to play the file, but is not installed". It proposes to "find in software", which fails because packagekit is not installed, I guess. It is anyway curious, because the video file can be transparently accessed in: /run/user/1000/gvfs/mtp:host=%5Busb%3A007%2C005%5D/Almac. interno/WhatsApp... For instance, I access it with "midnight commander". Or xine: xine /run/user/1000/gvfs/mtp:host=%5Busb%3A007%2C005%5D/Almac. interno/WhatsApp/Media/WhatsApp Video/VID-20171031-WA0028.mp4 and that runs transparently without the application knowing that it is accessed via MTP; it is just another file in the filesystem. But Totem (and some others) fail. I wonder what is missing, or whether it is a bug in Nautilus? - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.
