[opensuse] Leap 42.2 and Epson 1640SU scanner?
by Markus Egg 27 Apr '17

27 Apr '17

I was searching internet if OpenSuSE 42.2 supports my EPSON 1640 SU scanner (via USB) and did not find anything. Is there some list of supported hardware for OpenSuSE leap 42.2 ?

Your suggestion to talk to Mr. Salesman seems the best approach here. -- 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] total system failure
by Dave Smith 27 Apr '17

27 Apr '17

This is a first for me. I am running a dual boot machine. Leap 42.2 and Windows 10 Pro, each on their own SSD. I have been using Leap 42.2 for a few months now and have had no issues with anything. Today I did an update and after the update everything seemed normal. I came back to the computer several hours later and everything had a serious time lag (30 seconds or more), such as opening apps, input from the keyboard, changing desktops, closing apps, etc. There were 14 updates but I did not pay much attention to what they were. I know one was Google Chrome but I cannot remember the rest. I decided to do a reboot to make sure there were no conflicts with the updates and libraries that might still be in ram. That is the last time I have been able to see my linux desktop. I can get to grub but every time I try to boot into Leap 42.2 I end up in emergency mode. The screen is totally blank prior to the emergency screen and my keyboard does not work in the emergency mode screen. I end up having to use the reset button to reboot out of the emergency mode screen. I have used both kernels both in default and recovery and every time end up in emergency mode. With the recovery kernels I do see output to the screen prior to emergency mode but I am not seeing anything that would suggest this failure. This is a basic install, I have done nothing fancy and update regularly when prompted. The only thing that is a bit different is my drive configuration. Besides a separate 500G SSD for Windows and Leap. There is a shared 4T drive that is formatted in NTFS. There is also a NAS Server. Users can access files on the NAS and shared drive from either Windows or Leap. I am typing this from Windows. In Windows I can access files on the NAS server and the shared drive so they are both up and working properly. I am totally stumped what could be wrong. Anyone with ideas on how to get my system back online? Dave -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[Please stop messaging me in private, the list is supposed to know this.TY.] it is not about some file not propagating, it is about the whole update mechanism coming to halt because the metadata blocks the whole zypper ref bytes/sec or even bits/sec trickling in and seemingly blocking and never completing the task. also the binaries of much larger stuff did propagate to mirrors. this update process is really bad if there cant be atomicity of some simple index file or softlink or similar which switches over the outdated metadata to the current metadata once all the mirrors have fetched it and meanwhile not hogging down and stalling everones update experience i am really annoyed by these eternal waits on zypper ref if it could still work and use the stuff already mirrored and already propagated in the mean time. also often there were reports on the infrastructure when the mirrorbrain and responsible scripts hosts or services were crashed or faulty that they needed manual intervention or versight and people only here reported them to the list or even the bug tracker before anyone took care of it. you never know what or if these things need attention or public display on this list or elsewhere before people might need to do something about them or if its a normal slow state until the mirrors fetch even these metadata so if you know of a better check or if anyone has some state display of these opensuse infrastructure if everything is considered to be okay or not, until then i might come forward and ask about them here on the list if i come across such situations. thank you. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Update server (download.opensuse.org) slow or crowded like mad - again

Once every few days or weeks, we see nonpropagating files especially in the updates directories that somehow only reside on the main primary source for downloads. <http://download.opensuse.org/update/leap/42.2/oss/repodata/?C=M;O=D> e.g. <http://download.opensuse.org/update/leap/42.2/oss/repodata/f150d00a0c4e5e10…> only lives on the one and only primary source, no mirrors fetched this and other files, although some others in this directory from todays date and current timestamp propagated just fine. download.opensuse.org or mirrorbrain or the whole deal seems to be often crowded or crashed or not very robust. Is this gonna improve somewhen in the foreseeable future? In the near future? In the past, I have seen lot of bugreports or bickering on lists or forums on these kind of issues with the download server.

[opensuse] zypper dup Question
by Bryon Adams 26 Apr '17

26 Apr '17

Running Leap 42.2 on my pi and out of curiosity I ran zypper dup to see what would show up. It looks like it wants to install a bunch of graphical applications and I'm not sure why, could someone explain this to me? This is a minimal install from the JeOS image. I pasted the output on susepaste here: http://susepaste.org/16775081 Regards, Bryon -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] total system failure update
by Dave Smith 24 Apr '17

24 Apr '17

I was finally able to log into emergency mode today, keyboard could not type in password last night. I ran journalctl and discovered that the kernel is not able to mount any partitions. This is happening on the Samsung 850 EVO (system drive) and the HGST 4T (shared storage drive). On the system drive /home and swap mounts are failing, /home uses the XFS filesystem. On the shared storage drive the NTFS filesystem is used. I ran the manufacturers diagnostic tools from Windows and both drives are reporting no errors. Windows is able to mount the shared storage drive and I have full access to my files on this drive. Any idea what is going on and how to fix it? This system went from working great to total failure from one use to the next.

I see a "remote control" section, but not a keyboard one. Ah, glancing at the text menu of the wiki there are more entries, one "basic controls". It is outdated, though, the default skin in version 17 has changed dramatically. No keyboard list, though. Just mention two keys, 'c' which I had already found out (context menu), and 'S', shutdown. Ah, found it. Using "search" on the wiki. http://kodi.wiki/view/Keyboard_control -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)

Hi, I use kodi in a mini PC with a small keyboard. Since the new version, 17 (Krypton), I don't know how to handle the sound volume. Ideas? -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
