[opensuse] Digikam, etc. cannot upload from iPhone 6S
by Dennis Gallien 21 May '17

21 May '17

Not sure if this is a KDE or Solid (or other) issue . . . sorry for message length but trying to include all relevant data I know of . . . Digikam has worked great importing/deleting photos from iPhone 6S for a year, working on 13.2. I recently upgraded 13.2 => 42.1 => 42.2 about a month ago. I can't honestly say whether this problem arose with the Leap upgrade, or with an update since. When Digikam opens it displays the following error message: The specified camera ("/org/kde/solid/udev/sys/devices/ pci0000:00/0000:00:12.2/usb1/1-1/1-1:4.2/net/eth2") is not supported. ~>lsusb shows the camera as: Bus 001 Device 002: ID 05ac:12a8 Apple, Inc. Switching to a different port , , , ~>lsusb Bus 004 Device 003: ID 05ac:12a8 Apple, Inc. Digikam then throws this error when started: The specified camera ("/org/kde/solid/udev/sys/devices/ pci0000:00/0000:00:13.2/usb4/4-2/4-2:4.2/net/eth1") is not supported. Yet still Digikam (and other photo apps) autodetects the phone. It is shown under the Import menu, and when Import for the phone is selected the second Digikam windows opens. At bottom it shows the correct camera media capacity and amount used, while under the Device menu it shows the phone is recognized on the correct usb port. It shows that upload and delete are supported functions. But it cannot see the photo files. (It is seen as an "iPhone5 (PTP mode)"; gphoto2 --list-cameras does not show iPhone6 but that was not a problem before; the udev hwdb shows the same phone ID for both iPhone5 and iPhone6. Tested this with my wife's iPhone 5 and the errors were the same.) gphoto2: --list-ports sees the correct port --list-folders sees the "store_feedface" folder but no files. --abilities shows iPhone 5 with USB support, file preview and upload = yes When I try kio camera:/ in Dolphin I get: camera:/Apple%2520iPhone%25205%2520(PTP%2520mode)@usb:001,002/ An "Apple iPhone 5 (PTP Model)" folder appears with the sub-folder "store_feedface" but no DCIM folder nor any photos. When I try gtkam it can see the iPhone "store-feedface" but not DCIM, no files. Experimenting with this app I once got this error, too: An error occurred in the io-library ('Could not claim the USB device'): Could not claim interface 0 (Device or resource busy). Make sure no other program (gvfs-gphoto2-volume-monitor) or kernel module (such as sdc2xx, stv680, spca50x) is using the device and you have read/write access to the device. Similarly, when I tried Shotwell it threw: Unable to fetch previews from the camera: Could not claim the USB device (-53) But strangely, darktable uploads (and deletes) the iPhone files even though it uses libgphoto2.so.6 just as all the other apps do. Still works fine with my Canon A570. Digikam Version 5.4.0 Using: KDE Frameworks 5.26.0 Qt 5.6.1 (built against 5.6.1) My suspicion is that the problem is connect to the error "could not claim USB device", as I've seen that several times. Just a wild-ass guess. I checked Bugzilla KDE and Solid, found multiple instances of PTP cameras being recognized but files not retrievable over the last ~5 years. But nothing recent. I did find a 2011 bug report on Ubuntu Launchpad which was reported again in Dec claiming a regression in Digikam, but it wasn't verified. (And that was Digikam4, not 5). Any suggestions where to look further? Again, apologies for length. TIA, Dennis P.S. KDE folks might want to note that the Device Notifier entry always displays the camera twice rather than just once when it's attached, and when the "Open with File Manager" option is chosen, the app errors on not finding the KDE4 version of Dolphin: KDEInit could not launch 'dolphin4': Could not open library 'libkdeinit5_dolphin4'. Cannot load library libkdeinit5_dolphin4: (libkdeinit5_dolphin4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Virtualbox extensions
by James Knott 18 May '17

18 May '17

When installing Oracle Virtualbox, using files downloaded from Oracle, it is necessary to install the virtual box package, extensions and guest additions. In the openSUSE version, there are virtualbox, desktop icons, host kernel and virtualbox-qt. Is there anything that includes the extensions? I downloaded the guest additions from Oracle. The reason I'm asking is that when I use the openSUSE packages, I can't use USB 2, only 1.1. I could use USB 2 previously, when using the packages from Oracle. tnx jk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] 100% cpu load on firefox, unresponsive

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, Since some weeks I see my firefox peg at 100% load (on return from hibernation) and become unresponsive: PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR SWAP S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 25530 cer 20 0 5691504 1,568g 136272 267020 R 100,7 20,11 136:25.20 firefox But the "about:performance" tab doesn't display a culprit.

[opensuse] Bug reporting for LibreOffice distro from Opensuse repository
by jr87654＠gmx.com 03 May '17

03 May '17

I'm to trying to find out how to post a bug report for LibreOffice distro from Opensuse repository. It's a simple bug affecting page headers in reports created by Report Builder in Base. I posted bug report 107215 <https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=107215> on LibreOffice Bugzilla where other tests appear to confirm that this is a distro specific issue and does not affect their download packages, so they are no longer interested and recommended I report it to Opensuse. So I posted bug report 1036830 <https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1036830> on OpenSuse Bugzilla but as I am running OpenSuSe 13.2 (out of support), they won't fix on my report, but say that "this [package] is not provided by SUSE, packages are provided by community/openSUSE". I do not believe that this bug is OS related (and the other reports appear to confirm this). As the bug is in the currently available LogoopenSUSE Build Service > Projects > LibreOffice:5.2 > libreoffice <https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/LibreOffice:5.2/libreoffice> (v5.2.6.2) for OpenSuSe 13.2 x64, I would like to report it so it can be fixed. How can I do this? Thanks. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Opensuse 13.2 KDE 4 Question about a problem with PAM or permissions?
by stakanov 03 May '17

03 May '17

I have a user that has following setup: System settings are secure. User A all works as expected. You plugin a USB card / key and it asks for the root password. User B was for a long time full normal. Worked as A. Suddenly it refuses to open USB keys. It asks for the password but the user cannot see the input window for the rootpassword. What could be the reason. Yes I know I have to change the machine, but is is under the usual responsibility of that user, which is in Italy and I am in Brussels now. So I would like to have some clue where to search when I am going to do this over the phone. For me it is a kind of "focus stealing" but I am far from certain. The error message is: user did not input the authorization (or similar, in short, it is the message you get when you try to mount without authorization. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Realtek 8152 USB 4-port Ethernet
by Roger Oberholtzer 02 May '17

02 May '17

We have a new computer system with a RealTek USB-based Ethernet chip. There are 4 physical ports, each with PoE. Mysteriously, only one port seems to show up. No idea why. We have tried the original openSUSE r8152 driver, the one that came with the computer (2.00.0) and the latest from RealTek (2.08.0). It makes no difference. This is on an openSUSE 13.1 system (kernel 3.11.6-4-desktop). Which is what we want to run here. Mysteriously, lsusb only lists one MAC address: Bus 003 Device 002: ID 0bda:8152 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. CDC Ethernet: iMacAddress 3 00073240415B That is the MAC address we see. But there should be 3 more! What we do see is: 4: enp0s20u10: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP qlen 1000 link/ether 00:07:32:40:41:5b brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet6 fe80::207:32ff:fe40:415b/64 scope link valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever The BIOS is minimal. We do not see anything that seems to control this. I'm not a fan of this type of Ethernet interface. It is part of a fanless computer specially designed to run in cars and trains... Has anyone else gotten such a RealTek Ethernet chipset to work to work? -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] DVD Region Codes
by Paul Groves 28 Apr '17

28 Apr '17

Hi, I have successfully been able to use regionset to set my DVD / blu-ray drive to region 2 so that libdvdcss2 can de-crypt my DVDs. (Blu-ray discs work regardless of this). Originally the drive was set to 0 and would not play any of my region 1 or 2 dvds (played un-encrypted discs fine. Now the code is set, it plays region 2 (and un-encrypted discs) but not region 1 and regionset says I can only change it 3 times (2 left now). So my question is, how can I set the drive to be region free so I can play my DVDs from region 1 and other regions? I really do not want to have to rip all my discs or make duplicates with the protection removed because this would take a lot of time and is probably technically not legal. It must be possible seeing as when I used to have windows 7 on this PC (with the exact same drive) and used VLC with libdvdcss2 installed it played any disc even if it is not in the region the drive is set to, so it seems like windows or VLC or libdvdcss2 was just by-passing the region check. I have connected an IDE drive from an old DVD player which is region free and regionset could not detect any region (even 0) set on the drive. Maybe a clue? Has anyone managed to achieve this before?

[opensuse] IEEE 1588 PTP Grandmaster Clock
by Roger Oberholtzer 28 Apr '17

28 Apr '17

Has anyone set up an openSUSE system to be a IEEE 1588 PTP Grandmaster Clock? A nice description of why one might want this can be found here: https://eu.ptgrey.com/1588 We have our in-vehicle systems set up to be Stratum 1 NTP servers (a high-end GPS with a serial port PPS is our Stratum 0 time source) for syncing time with cooperating devices. Unfortunately, all devices do not speak NTP. Some use PTP (IEEE 1588). There is an openSUSE package for this type of thing: https://software.opensuse.org/package/ptpd But details are sketchy. So I am curious if anyone is using this package and how well it is working. -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] ?Stable? Tumbleweed inst cont.: Getting into arcana... thin lvm volumes.... no devices loaded...etc...
by L A Walsh 28 Apr '17

28 Apr '17

For some reason, I'm seeing no lvm devices, though when I do an "lvs", I see them: (have to type them right now, as setup didn't ask me for network settings). LV VG Attr LSize Pool Home Data Vwi---tz-- 512.00g HomePool HomePool Data twi---tz-- 750.00g Any ideas how to turn them on? (partly solved -- on for now, but kernel mods didn't autoload, so not sure if things are fixed). --- Issue#2: where / how do I change network settings? I can configure it manually w/ip(link,addr) and can ping my host system, but don't know where to add changes to make that permanent. --- Issue#3 -- I don't seem to be able to see any packages to install from the CD. I can enter yast and it gave errors trying to refresh the online packages, but no packages from the DVD. On boot, I see [FAILED] Failed to start LVM2 PV scan on device 8:4. See 'systemctl status lvm2-pvscan@8:4.service' for details. ... [..] A start job is running for dev-Data-Home.device (90 secs...) ----- How do I terminate a wait? Stupid timeout... a local device should never take 90 seconds. *sigh*... Oh.. the info shows that none of the modules are loaded. ... fixed that... hmmm...(this is one reason why I generally use my own kernel ended up having to recreate the LVM stuff... (or maybe I didn't, but couldn't get the volumes recognized until I did that and started 'udevd' (as udevd --daemon --debug -resolve-names=early), using the --debug option probably should have gone to a disk, way too much output to track when I did things... (like lvm operations & mkfs stuff). I'm running low on energy ... This is supposed to be the stable release? Oi!

There are recommended updates for nfs-client & kernel server. However, the updates fail with "nothing provides librirpc.so.1()(64bit) needed by nfs-kernel-server-1.3.0-26.x" Anyone else having this problem?
