[opensuse] usb headset ?
by Per Jessen 14 Mar '17

14 Mar '17

I was playing with a USB headset (speakers+micro) this morning - it is being recognised fine, on both Leap422 and older systems. Am I right in thinking audio in+out should be switched over automagically? (which doesn't seem to happen). -- Per Jessen, Zürich (6.9°C) http://www.cloudsuisse.com/ - your owncloud, hosted in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] yast2-dirinstall
by James Martin 14 Mar '17

14 Mar '17

Hi, In the past, one could use the yast2-dirinstall module to create an installation into a specified directory (eg for creating an image for OpenVZ - which I was hoping to do with LEAP 42.2). This module doesn't exist any longer - has its functionality been moved elsewhere?

[opensuse] Help evaluate and bug check GtkWrite text editor
by David C. Rankin 14 Mar '17

14 Mar '17

All, I wrote a small text editor that I've put on build service to see if I could get a bit of community feedback on. (it basically grew out of running fluxbox or i3 and not wanting to use an ide (geany) and leafpad wasn't quite enough. RPMS are available for 13.1 - Leap 42.2 (Tumbleweed build currently fails for some really weird harfbuzz gradient linker error which I'll get to as time permits). It is intentionally written in C using Gtk+2 and GtkSourceView2. Load it, use it in place of your current editor for a bit and let me know what you find, like hate excetera. My buildservice repo is drankinatty, and the link to the rpms, are, e.g.: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/drankinatty/ with direct links: Leap 42.2 http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/drankinatty/openSUSE_Leap_4… 13.2 http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/drankinatty/openSUSE_13.2/i… http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/drankinatty/openSUSE_13.2/x… 13.1 http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/drankinatty/openSUSE_13.1/i… http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/drankinatty/openSUSE_13.1/x… The layout and functionality is fairly self-explanatory. If you need any extra help, ask or take a look at the Readme.md in the normal doc/packages directory. Thanks. -- David C.

[opensuse] snapper question. Something wrong here?
by Peter Suetterlin 13 Mar '17

13 Mar '17

Hi, I just snooped around a bit in the snapper snapshots, deleting old ones to make room again. But there's something I don't understand: woodstock:~ # snapper ls Type | # | Pre # | Date | User | Cleanup | Description | Userdata -------+---+-------+--------------------------+------+---------+-----------------------+--------- single | 0 | | | root | | current | single | 1 | | Fri Aug 19 19:50:24 2016 | root | | first root filesystem | So far, so good. So snapshot 1 should be the original install from last August. But if I check files in there and compare: woodstock:~ # l /.snapshots/1/snapshot/bin/dbus-daemon /bin/dbus-daemon -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 223192 Mar 5 18:23 /.snapshots/1/snapshot/bin/dbus-daemon* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 223192 Mar 5 18:23 /bin/dbus-daemon* They are the same!? Yes, that is also what snapper thinks: woodstock:~ # snapper status 0..1 woodstock:~ # snapper status 1..0 woodstock:~ # Is it working different from what I assume, is it messed up? Can I safely delete snapshot 1?

by Boyd Lynn Gerber 13 Mar '17

13 Mar '17

Hello, I usually ssh to a system and run various applications. I do have ssh configured to allow root access from a specfic IP to a specific IP. I can't seem to get the following applications to work there were several others. I just can't seem to remember then right now. ssh -X -Y -p xxxx remote_host firefox & seamonkey & .... ssh -X -Y -p xxxx remote_host sudo yast2 ssh -X -Y -p xxxx root@remote_host yast2 & yast2 --qt & running either of the above the only thing I see/get on my ssh window is qt5ct: using qt5ct plugin Before the upgrade I could run yast2 on a Leap 42.2 or Leap 42.1 system. Now nothing ever shows up. these work yast2 --gtk & yast2 --ncurses libreoffice & chromium & Any ideas?

[opensuse] gpg error get_passphrase failed: Operation cancelled
by Richmond 12 Mar '17

12 Mar '17

Why do I get this error? It happens if I use "su - user" to switch to a different user and then try to decrypt a file. I am pretty sure it used to work. And it will work if I log in on the console as the different user. It should prompt for the passphrase in a window. gpg: CAST5 encrypted data gpg-agent[5394]: command get_passphrase failed: Operation cancelled gpg: cancelled by user gpg: encrypted with 1 passphrase gpg: decryption failed: No secret key I'm on 42.2 64 bit. gpg --version gpg (GnuPG) 2.0.24 libgcrypt 1.6.1 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] DNS lookup slow - autoconfig wireless from router
by Mikhail Ramendik 12 Mar '17

12 Mar '17

Hello, I am using wireless networking. In Yast, Wicked Service is selected. The wlan0 interface is set for DHCP and the DNS config is left at default values. I recently (some time after upgrade to 42.2) started getting delays every time a host is looked up. /etc/resolv.conf has these uncommented lines: == search suse home nameserver fe80::1%wlan0 nameserver 192.168.1.254 == So it seems like an ipv6 version is checked first and does not work. I don't need ipv6. I understand I can use yast to switch to manual DNS configuration, and just put 192.168.1.254 there (or 8.8.8.8 even). But this could lead to problems down the line if I later have to configure a different connection. Is there any way I can remove the ipv6 version while keeping auto-configuration working? -- 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

Hi, I have a php script that I use since years, but now something does not work anymore. on a file_get_contents on a https-URL I get Unable to find the socket transport "ssl" - did you forget to enable it when you configured PHP? and Warning: file_get_contents(): Unable to find the wrapper "https" - did you forget to enable it when you configured PHP? Well, I havn't configured anything since a long time, but there was a php update some days ago. What can I do?

[opensuse] KVM v. Vbox (howto fix kvm artifact and provide seamless mouse integration)
by David C. Rankin 11 Mar '17

11 Mar '17

All, I have hardware virtualization support on my laptop for KVM. and I generally need to virtualize a windows install for accounting/tax software. In the past I've always used vbox (from virtualbox.org), but the latest rpm is 13.2. I've used KVM on this laptop, but have run into artifacts at time and I do not like have to ctrl+alt to release the mouse. Does anybody have a tweak for KVM that will allow auto-mouse integration vbox guest additions, and has anyone found a way to get rid of the occasional window artifacts that appear on overlapping window move in KVM? I'm leaning toward vbox again, but would like to take advantage of KVM if I can make it work without artifact and get mouse integration down. I'm using virt-install/virt-manager, so if there are additional qemu command line switches that can help, that's probably what I need to try. What says the braintrust? Anybody tried/evaluated kvm verses vbox for win7 guests? Anybody experienced then cured the kvm/artifact on overlapping window move (e.g. a gtk app over an xterm will generally produce them -- but not always). Anybody found a way for seamless mouse integration with kvm like guest additions? (beyond '-usbdevice tablet' to prevent grabbing the mouse) -- David C.
