[opensuse] bitcoin
by George from the tribe 21 Mar '17

21 Mar '17

Can anyone point me to a bitcoin forum, where people discuss the technical issues of how to handle bitcoin (similar to how we do this on this mailing list or the opensuse forums)? Also, if you are an active user of bitcoin, I would be interested to know your experience, lessons learned, difficulties of setting things up on the technical side, etc. -- George Box: 42.2 | KDE Plasma 5.8 | AMD Phenom IIX4 | 64 | 32GB Laptop #1: 42.2 | KDE Plasma 5.8 | Core i7-4710HQ | 64 | 16GB Laptop #2: 42.2 | KDE Plasma 5.8 | Core i5 | 64 | 8GB -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Dumb question about grep
by Marc Chamberlin 20 Mar '17

20 Mar '17

Ok I am puzzled, why does grep fail when I use it in some directories and works fine in others. I don't think this can be a permissions issue because I get the same behavior when I do a - su root and then run this grep command... Here is an example of a failure using a simple grep command - darkstar:/usr/lib/systemd/system # grep run * grep: invalid option -- '.' Usage: grep [OPTION]... PATTERN [FILE]... Try 'grep --help' for more information. If I go to my home directory /home/marc it works fine... This is probably just me being brain dead late at night, but got me beat!

[opensuse] Install Budgie from Minimal Install
by Bryon Adams 20 Mar '17

20 Mar '17

Hello, I haven't installed a GUI from a minimal install in a while and for the life of me I can't remember what step(s) I'm missing here. Maybe it's better just to install gnome and grab budgie as well afterwards. Xinit, GDM, and dudgie-desktop are all installed, but when I run budgie-desktop it cannot connect to the init server. I can run startx as root and get a gnome shell. I get a permission denied without root, "xf860OpenConsole: Cannot open virtual console 3 (permission denied)" Any ideas or suggestions?

[opensuse] Upgrade inspiration
by Vojtěch Zeisek 20 Mar '17

20 Mar '17

This is slightly off-topic, but we, users of Drupal, know how painful can be upgrade between major versions (6/7, 7/8). Recently, there was an interesting proposal by Drupal founder about new upgrade way to make it easier for users as well as 3rd party module developers. Of course, hard to compare Drupal and openSUSE, but still, it is an interesting concept to think about little bit. https://www.buytaert.net/making-drupal-upgrades-easy-forever -- Vojtěch Zeisek Komunita openSUSE GNU/Linuxu Community of the openSUSE GNU/Linux https://www.opensuse.org/ https://trapa.cz/

[opensuse] X (?) hangs after upgrade to 42.2
by Mikhail Ramendik 20 Mar '17

20 Mar '17

Hello, After upgrading to Leap 42.2 I have experienced a weird hang twice already. It never happened over a few months of running Leap 42.1. Suddenly, things on the graphical screen stop responding. The mouse cursor moves but nothing can be clicked. In both cases so far, Google Chrome was the visible application and was maximized; neither Chrome nor the task bar would respond to any clicks, and there was no response to keyboard actions on the graphical screen. I can still press Ctrl-Alt-F1 to switch to a text console. I used the text console, as root, to do "killall -9 chrome". But even with "chrome" gone from the output of "top", nothing changed on the graphics screen when I changed back to it with Ctrl-Alt-F7. There was nothing in /var/log/Xorg.log.0 when I looked at it. The boot sequence and then, after a long time, "AIGLX: Suspending AIGLX clients for VT switch" - obviously a reaction to pressing Ctrl-Alt-F1 when the hang was already in progress. I could not find any way out except "shutdown -r now" on the root terminal screen. After the second hang, when the system booted up first and I logged on (KDE 5 Plasma as usual), there was apparently no WM. WIndows appeared without a header, minimize/maximize/close buttons, etc. After another reboot the windows are normal. This might or might not be the same issue - describing it in case it shows a clue. Is there anything I can do to troubleshoot further, either now or if the hang strikes again? -- 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] grub on raid
by jdd 18 Mar '17

18 Mar '17

Hello, I'm in the way of building a 42.2 server at home on a fiber line. I use a three disk raid mirror on lvm/mdadm it runs for three month without problem. still experimental, not in production. Yesterday I did a zypper up and had lot of updates. Some of them, specially grub and kernel ones didn't went well, some post install problem. "Control C" and zypper up again allowed the update to go to the end. but as could be expected, today I had to do a reboot (for other reasons) and the computer don't reboot. It stops on initial grub greetings and then error reading of first sector of disk 1, go to rescue mode (screen copy): http://dodin.org/owncloud/index.php/s/eUPZpVHG5QyPisn is this a hardware problem? I know pretty well how to test a single disk usual computer but never had to do this on raid. what may I do? thanks jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] LTO 3 Drive Error
by Paul Groves 18 Mar '17

18 Mar '17

Hi, I am getting an intermittent error on my LTO 3 drive. It is a HP StorageWorks 920 internal SCSI drive. Sometimes backups work and sometimes tar will fail with this error: tar: /dev/st3: Cannot write: Input/output error tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now I have tried 3 old tapes and one brand new tape. It has happened on all of them. I have also run two different cleaning cartridges through the drive. Also it always fails in a different place. Sometimes it runs for 5 minutes when the error comes up, other times for an hour or so. sometimes not at all and the backup works. If I look on the monitor connected to the server I see this error: 10:0:3:0 Error on write file mark Does anyone know what this means exactly or what I should do? I read online that I should try cleaning the tape heads with isopropyl alcohol.

Unfortunately not possible in my case as the server is a member of active directory and the "unix groups" and "local users" are just users from AD linked by pam -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
