[opensuse] DRM reader
by Jeffrey L. Taylor 17 Feb '17

17 Feb '17

I need to read a contemporary book, search it, bookmark it, and write notes in it. Searching is the one thing that really requires an ebook. It will almost certainly be available only in a DRM format, but I may have a choice. I'd prefer a native reader, though if only Web based ones are available, that would work. Any experience?

[opensuse] Fork fails with Leap 42.2 on AMD FX machines
by Nick LeRoy 16 Feb '17

16 Feb '17

All, I have a couple machines running AMD FX CPUs. Both are running Gigabyte motherboards. One is a GA-990FXA-UD5 with 32G of RAM and an FX(tm)-8350 (8 core). The second is a 970A-UD3P with 32G of RAM and an FX(tm)-6300 (6 core). The 990FXA uses the 990FX northbridge, the 970A uses the 970 northbridge. Both use the SB950 southbridge. I upgraded the 970A machine from Leap 42.1 to 42.2 several weeks ago, and immediately started having problems with Google Chrome / chromium crashes, as well as a lot of "bash: fork: retry: No child processes" from shells. I tried upgrading to several different kernels (all from OBS), with similar results. I also tried playing with the IOMMU settings, both in BIOS and in the kernel parameters. The problems persisted (and still do). Last night, I upgraded the 990FX box, and am now having the same problems. I was hoping the the 990FX chipset would be different enough, but apparently it's not. At work, I'm running Leap 42.2 on several Intel boxes, and I've not seen this problem, so I'm guessing that it's linked to either the CPU or, I think more likely, the chipset. I don't think that it's relevant, but both boxes are running ATI / AMD video cards: Radeon R7 370 and 360, respectively. Various searches of the mailing list archives Somebody else must have run into this, I can't believe that I'm the first. dmesg (and /var/log/messages (I use syslog-ng)) are surprisingly quiet about it all. The most common things I see are messages like: trap invalid opcode ip:5608d1232a92 sp:7ffe373a73d0 error:0 in chrome[5608cd3fb000+67d5000]traps: If anybody has any suggestions, requires more information, etc., please don't hesitate.

[opensuse] AMD Carrizo Firmware with Leap 42.2
by Simon Heimbach 16 Feb '17

16 Feb '17

Hello everybody, I just upgraded to an AMD Carrizo notebook. It works fairly decent. Just the fan runs a bit to often for my taste. glxinfo|grep vendor says: server glx vendor string: SGI client glx vendor string: Mesa Project and SGI OpenGL vendor string: X.Org It seems as if no hw-driver is loaded. So I upgraded to kernel-stable 4.9 and its equivalent kernel-firmware. But to no improvement. When I look up /lib/firmware/radeon "CARRIZO" does not show up. It's predecessor KAVERI does as -rw-r--r-- 3 root root 8832 16. Dez 2015 kaveri_ce.bin -rw-r--r-- 3 root root 8832 16. Dez 2015 kaveri_me.bin -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 17024 1.

Mai 2016 kaveri_uvd.bin -rw-r--r-- 5 root root 101072 16. Dez 2015 kaveri_vce.bin Is there a fairly easy solution? Can I actually simply clone https://people.freedesktop.org/~agd5f/radeon_ucode/carrizo/ in there and run an mkinitrd? Is it a better idea to run tumbleweed and wait for the 42.3 release?

[opensuse] login screen does not appear after booting
by Joseph Comfort 16 Feb '17

16 Feb '17

After doing a fresh install of Leap 42.2 on a computer that had been running v13.2, the system boots but the login screen does not show up, at the point where it should. I can log into the computer from another one and do essentially everything, including bringing up yast2 etc. v13.2 had been running very well for some years. Before that, I was doing some experimenting with a solid state disk (SSD), and then used it for v13.2. I used the old-time partitioning system, and put / , swap, /usr, and /usr/local on the SSD. After the initial installation stage from the dvd, the system booted with a proper graphical display and I could log in and complete some tasks (e.g., network configuration). The graphical display fails on all subsequent reboots. Some specs-- Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-970A-D3 (v1.1) Bios: Award F7 Graphics card: nVidia GT218 [GeForce 8400 GS, Rev.3] Driver: nouveau, with drm The root / partition is on /dev/sda1, /usr is /dev/sda5, /usr/local is /dev/sda6, and /home is /dev/sdb1. These correspond to the hardware wirings. In the Yast2 bootloader app, I had to move /dev/sda1 up to the top of the list, and also adjust the optional kernel command line to that same point. Curiously, the /boot/grub2/grub.cfg file contains the line: set root='hd1,msdos5' . (1) What is needed to get the graphical display to come up? (2) How does one set run levels now? (The screen goes black if I do a 'init 3', so there is at least some response. Thank you.

[opensuse] libreoffice help opens web browser
by george from the tribe 15 Feb '17

15 Feb '17

On older versions of libreoffice, hitting f1 or going to the help menu would bring up the actual libreoffice help menu. Since about a month ago it opens up my browser and goes to the web based help. I have searched through the menus, especially tools -> options, and cannot find a configuration command to tell it to open up the installed help instead of the web, and no avail. I find several instances of the same problem on the web, but none that actually provide a solution. This has happened on my home desktop, my laptop, and my work desktop. On all 3 I am using Leap 42.2 and libreoffice 5.2.3. Anyone else have the same problem, and maybe you know a way to go back to offline help? Seems like it has to be common, if I have it happening on all 3 of my computers.

No motto yet, but we have a meeting in like three minutes, so I can bring it up. Of course the odds are a cool design might be the one that gets selected. v/r Doug -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] When are those cron.hourly and other folders exactly being scheduled?
by cagsm 15 Feb '17

15 Feb '17

Hi there, I am trying to find out when (minute, hour, etc.) are those cron.hourly, cron.daily and such folders being executed exactly and where this is defined? Haven't looked really too much at cron or crontab in the past, but I think lot of this stuff used to be directly in crontab and its syntax there. But recent openSuSE releases have kind of relayed or are indrectly calling these cron jobs. My goal is: to run a script during working hours on work days every two hours for example starting from 10:00am til 18:00pm, and some single script at the end of the day say 22:00pm every work day. Running leap 42.2 Thank you. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
