[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] "grub error: symbol `grub_tpm_measure' not found" after upgrade from 42.2 -> 42.3

Hello list, after Upgrading openSUSE Leap 42.2 to 42.3 on a machine, i cannot boot anymore. onboot grub starts in rescue mode: error: symbol `grub_tpm_measure' not found. Entering rescue mode grub rescue> set shows correct paths: btrfs_relative_path=y btrfs_subvol= btrfs_subvolid= cmdpath=(hd0) lang= locale_dir= prefix=(hd1,msdos2)/boot/grub2 root=hd1,msdos2 if I call "insmod linux" or "insmod normal", I get the message: error: symbol `grub_tpm_measure' not found again. How can I proceed? I do not have physical access, only connection is via IPMI. No EFI, but BIOS.

[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.

[opensuse] https/http redirection on client
by Istvan Gabor 10 Dec '17

10 Dec '17

Hello: Earlier I used a program called texprinter to fetch stackexchange threads (website is https://tex.stackexchange.com/) in pdf format. The program's site is http://texprinter.sourceforge.net. This is a java program, it asks for the thread id and it downloads the thread in a pdf or a tex file. The problem is that the program hasn't been updated for a while. In the meantime stackexchange started to use https service, that is all http:// requests are redirected to https:// protocol. But texprinter cannot handle the redirection/https protocol and fails to find the requested page. Is there any application I can install locally and could convert the outgoing http request to https and convert back the incoming https answer to http, so that texprinter could handle it. I tried to google for local proxy servers but could not find out if any of these could be used such a way. Thanks is advance, Istvan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Chromium locks up machine
by Anton Aylward 10 Dec '17

10 Dec '17

I keep considering abandoning Firefox in favour of Chromium/Chrome I have installed # zypper info chromium Information for package chromium: --------------------------------- Repository : openSUSE-Leap-42.2-Update Name : chromium Version : 63.0.3239.84-104.41.1 Arch : x86_64 Vendor : openSUSE Installed Size : 223.0 MiB Installed : Yes Status : up-to-date On a # cat /etc/os-release NAME="openSUSE Leap" VERSION="42.2" ID=opensuse ID_LIKE="suse" VERSION_ID="42.2" with a kernel # uname -r 4.14.4-1.gb29439c-default Oh and # zypper info mozillafirefox Information for package MozillaFirefox: --------------------------------------- Repository : openSUSE-Leap-42.2-Update Name : MozillaFirefox Version : 52.5.0-57.21.1 Arch : x86_64 Vendor : openSUSE Installed Size : 104.9 MiB Installed : Yes Yes I'm aware that's OOD, but I make heavy use of Groups, and updating would loose that capability. After running Chromium for a while my machine locks up. Everyting freezes to the point where even the mouse movement does not cause the pointer to on the screen to move. There is disk activity as if the machine was threashing, but I know that situation with Firefox tab overload and the machine still responds to mouse movement and I can still hot-key Alt-F1 to a vtty, which I can't with this lock-up. I can do it slow or do it fast. I can do it slow by just bring up Chromium and opening a few tabs, a couple of eBay items, a tiddlywiki application. As I say after about ten minutes I get the lockout. I can do it fast by trying to transfer a few tabs from Firefox using the "Open In Chrome" add-on. This says in the "About: The intended use case is when you suddenly realize you have more tabs opened in Firefox than the browser can handle without slowing to a crawl. Chrome has no problem handling a lot of tabs and as such is better suited for managing a lot of tabs. This plugin provides an easy way to migrate you opened tabs off Firefox onto Google Chrome, so you can close down the tabs in Firefox and make the browser usable again. It's OK when I use it in single-tab mode, but if I try it with as few as four tabs then the I get an instant freeze. The idea of opening 40 or 80 tabs is ludicrous! Yes, I know I should take this latter to the developer of the plugin but since Chromium seems to lock up even when I'm not using that, I don't see it makes any difference. Before I go hunting through bugzilla, I want to check that I'm not doing some misconfiguration thing.

[opensuse] S. Korean 'decapitation unit' will be armed with suicide drones to take out Kim Jong Un
by Anton Aylward 10 Dec '17

http://www.businessinsider.com/south-korea-decapitation-unit-take-out-kim-j… Hmm. The logic isn't to assassinate him but to make him afraid and so come to the negotiating table .... where he, presumably, becomes vulnerable to assignation ...? Let's face it, a budget of $310,000 isn't much. many executive make more than that. $24Million sounds more like it.
