How does one go about getting a package into Factory? I am reading [1] and I get the impression one has to file a FATE first. Is that the case?

[opensuse] Some machine just can not x11vnc but others work fine?
by cagsm 09 Mar '17

09 Mar '17

I have once looked up some very basic way to grab some remotely running opensuse machine and see its real console pixels via vnc via vncviewer or similar. The machines are running leap 42.2 and basically I am ssh-ing into them and running as root (or via sudo) the following line: > sudo x11vnc -localhost -nolookup -nopw -display :0 -auth guess One machine works perfectly, prints out all sort of stuff that it is grabbing the local :0 session of X or vnc and those display and screen names and all that technical stuff. But this other machine never managed to do that. It quits and comes with a mere output of four error lines: > 09/03/2017 14:27:54 x11vnc version: 0.9.13 lastmod: 2011-08-10 pid: 2028 xauth: file /root/.Xauthority does not exist > 09/03/2017 14:27:54 -auth guess: failed for display=':0' > 09/03/2017 14:27:54 -auth guess: since we are root, retrying with FD_XDM=1 > 09/03/2017 14:27:54 -auth guess: failed for display=':0' What is wrong here and how can I make it work? The other machines it runs flawlessly detecting some of those settings automatically, and I can then vnc into it via an ssh-forwarded tcp port to the 5900 tcp port of that linux machine. That .Xauthority file doesnt exist on the working machines either, just as a remark. Weird. Whats up here? Thanks for all the help.

There are command lines in GUI terminals, and there are command lines on vttys. Which is it here? You can't expect qt to work on a vtty[1-6]. Are all your installed *yui*.rpm in version sync? Are any not installed that should be? Maybe you should try a new LV cloned from 13.2 and zypper dup it to 42.1 with selective locks set, trying to work up to something resembling 42.2. 42.1 is only weeks away from support termination. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

[opensuse] Bluetooth controller powered off after resume from suspend
by John Andersen 08 Mar '17

08 Mar '17

I've had this problem on and off for several releases at least since 2008. Machine is an older Dell Inspiron 9400 with a built in Bluetooth, which is provided by the BCM4311 (wifi+bluetooth chip), but which the system sees as if it was part of the USB system: > jsa@poulsbo:~> lsusb > Bus 005 Device 024: ID 413c:8126 Dell Computer Corp. Wireless 355 Bluetooth Synopsis: Resume from suspend will often leave my Bluetooth controller in the powered off state. Not always, but usually, for and suspend over night, or long duration. My BT mouse will therefore not work. Luckily I have a touchpad which is good enough in emergencies. I've found over several years that simply using the keyboard key combo to toggle airplane mode on (killing all radios) and after a 3 seconds toggling it off again would solve this problem. Recent versions of the KDE Configure System Settings (the bluetooth option in KDE System settings, which Opensuse insists on labeling "Configure Desktop" in the kde menu), can determine this situation (bluetooth controller powered off) and will offer to fix it. See: image here: https://paste.opensuse.org/75459363 I want to find out what that KDE settings utility does when "Fix it" is clicked and build it into a systemd resume script, in /usr/lib/systemd/system-sleep/ (which I already have working for other things) But what exactly does the pictured "Fix It" option do? Anyone know: Where is the source for that module? -- After all is said and done, more is said than done. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] ntptimeset
by Carlos E. R. 08 Mar '17

08 Mar '17

Hi, On this laptop, when it had 13.1, I synced the clock by running an hourly cronjob: /usr/sbin/rcntp ntptimeset That does no longer work because the initd script does not exist. I copied that script from 13.1 and I'm trying to make ntptimeset work. It doesn't. I still have to investigate it more. Meanwhile... What is the consensus now for a one shot time sync? No, running the ntpd daemon is not an option here. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" (Minas Tirith))

[opensuse] Yast Printer setup Problem. No ppd files / filters at all! listed.
by stakanov 08 Mar '17

08 Mar '17

This machine has been updated to 42.2 from 42.1. In 42.1 it worked perfectly with a Lexmark C543 Laser Printer which is branched on USB. Now the printer is listed in lsusb. It is found by yast. There is no printerdriver discovered of ANY sort. Even manually installing the printer driver does not change anything. I checked in /usr/shared/cups. All is there. Even the printer driver installed via yast manually. It also created his nice "folder" called downloaded printer drivers. Unfortunately no driver is selectable. I tried already to reinstall all cups related packages but nothing changes. BTW during the update must have been something "forgotten" because when I go on download.opensuse.org then the driver proposed is for 42.1 not for 42.2. However, I checked all repos twice: no 42.1 repo left since a long long time. Any suggestion on what that could ever be? This is driving me nuts. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
