[opensuse] ARG: Running Tumbleweed setup DVD - how setup disk as gpt (or run parted?)
by L A Walsh 22 Apr '17

22 Apr '17

Running openSUSE-Tumbleweed-DVD-x86_64-Snapshot20170414-Media.iso... First, I chose to "install", not upgrade. I got to an 'expert' paritioner, but it seems to want to limit partition sizes to 2TB or less and seems to be defaulting to using /dev/sd{a-c}+extended. That doesn't sound like gpt, but a standard PC-compat partition setup. I tried to start the text startup, but still ended up in GUI, which is driving me insane due to the physical mouse cursor not lining up with the virtual one. So... 1) how do I boot in text mode so I won't have to deal w/a broken mouse? (if I solve the above, I might be able to run parted from installer CD, but not sure....if not...) 2) how do I setup the partition table to use gpt? or, how do I run parted? Maybe I should boot the rescue disk and try initializing the disk w/gpt first? ....booting rescue.. why does sysd complain about missing groups: tty, kmem, video, audio, disk, cdrom then fail to generate issue-generator fail issue-generator network add enp0s17 -- no such file or directory fail issue-generator network dd enp0s8 -- no such file or directory --- seems sysd doesn't know how to start a rescue system -- though since a rescue system is supposed to start from a shell, how do I boot to a shell? adding init=/bin/sh (or init=/bin/bash) seems to be ignored. It starts a gui desktop. Why can't I get to a terminal from here? I try pressing ALT-F1 to get to the 1st console, but its ignored, and alt-f2 gets brings up an application finder. Also, no mouse cursor at all in this GUI. How do I run the GUI w/no mouse -- tab does some switching, but nothing to bring up a rescue menu. Why no ability to boot to a shell? Help? -linda -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Tumbleweed setup...Not enough room on 500GB HD? I don't think so...ignore?
by L A Walsh 22 Apr '17

22 Apr '17

I setup: /dev/sda1: boot@64MB /dev/sda2: swap (8G) /dev/sda3: / (root) 512GB /dev/sd4: LVM (1.5TB) /home-pool (thin pool; 750GB) /home (thin disk 500GB) --- Then it told me insufficent space for a server (text mode) setup. ??? Went to go back to partition table -- apparently went 1 too far... it then wiped all my changes. Back to drawing board... Um... so when it comes up and says not enough space, everyone knows that it full of doodoo....right? :~!

[opensuse] pkcs11, Java, and browsers?
by Lew Wolfgang 21 Apr '17

21 Apr '17

Hi Folks, This looks bad. We have a requirement to use smartcards to authenticate to a webvpn system. The webvpn product requires Java support to open a ssh terminal. Alas, this all stopped working when Chrome and Firefox dropped support for NPAPI. In other words, no Java now with Chrome and Firefox. It doesn't look like opera will ever support pkcs11, and I don't think Konqueror does either. Alternatives? Oracle's Java web site recommends using MS Windows or Apples. I'm truly loathe to do this, but we could run Windows in Virtualbox just to get Java compatibility. Tell me this isn't so!

[opensuse] 2nd monitor "720p" resolution - 42.2 & KDE4
by James Knott 19 Apr '17

19 Apr '17

One thing I've noticed is I cannot configure a 2nd monitor connected to my laptop to 1366 x 768 resolution, to match the built in display. This means it's not possible to unify the displays, without significantly dropping resolution. On Windows, I can have both displays show the same content, regardless of whether the 2nd display is a 720p or 1080p. It just works. Extending the display works OK though, with the different screen resolution. Is there any way to fix this? There does not appear to be a setting for 1366 x 768 in the display configuration for the 2nd display. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Supported USB3 to DVI/DP converters to have 3 external monitors?
by Lars Marowsky-Bree 19 Apr '17

19 Apr '17

Hi folks, it turns out connecting three monitors wasn't quite as straightforward as I naively thought, having misread Lenovo's compatibility sheet - I want to connect 3x 2560x1440 (Dell U2515H) monitors, but my T440s can only drive two of them at full resolution even with the Ultra Dock. Using a VGA-to-DP adapter would work, but I'd loose some of the resolution and only get 1080p or so. Not the preferred result. So, for one of them, I'd be happy enough if it had a lower refresh rate and connect it via USB3 to DVI/DP adapters. (Mainly for reading documentation and so on.) Those adapters - like the Wavlink USB 3, Cable Matters, etc - only support Windows/Mac, and there's a proprietary driver for Ubuntu (DisplayLink). And I could only find some semi-happy results from 2015 on the opensuse-factory list. Has anyone re-tried this recently? (Hints as to which laptops do support 3 external monitors with less pain on Linux are also welcome, but I think a lower budget solution would be good in the interim ...)

[opensuse] Leap to Leap 42.2 mini-bug
by Jos van Kan 19 Apr '17

19 Apr '17

Hi, Yesterday I made the long overdue switch from 13.1 to Leap 42.2. Yeah, I know. I did a new installation with preservation of /home and existing users. That was certainly not a straightforward procedure and I wonder how many unsuspecting switchers wiped their home directory in the process. (Yeah, right, you should make a backup) First the good thing: the default network setup by wicked performed flawlessly, a pleasant surprise, because most of the time to set up the netwerkservice was a royal PITA. A couple of glitches, the suggested packman repository at Austria was dead (fortunately the mirror at uni-erlangen was up) and to my complete surprise Thunderbird did not get installed in the default setup. I'm completely stumped by the following irritating, but not showstopping, bug (feature?) in Konsole: whenever I type a - (minus sign) I get an upside down T-beam (like the APL base operator for the cognoscenti). This only happens in Konsole, not in tty and not in Xterm or any other flat text application (Kate, Kwrite etc). Using KDE.. Any suggestions?

[opensuse] Multiple windows open, only 14 listed - KDE on 42.2
by James Knott 18 Apr '17

18 Apr '17

One thing I've noticed is that while I might have several browser windows open, only 14 are listed above the task bar, when I click on the browser. There is nothing to indicate more than 14, other than a half height bar for the next window in the list. This means the only way I can get to anything beyond those is to put the cursor over the browser on the task bar and use the scroll wheel to cycle through every open window, to find the one I want. Is there any way to get more than 14.5 windows listed? Scrolling over the list does not work. tnx jk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] tumbleweed not finding some .so files
by Roger Oberholtzer 18 Apr '17

18 Apr '17

I am trying to link an application that uses libpthread and libtbb. I have these installed (OPB standard packages) on an up-to-date Tumbleweed. For some reason I cannot understand, these libs are not found. When I run ldd on a program of library, I get: linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffd23d17000) libpthread.so.0 => not found libiomp5.so => /opt/rsoft/lib/libiomp5.so (0x00007f82fb669000) libtbb.so.2 => not found libippch.so.7.0 => /opt/rsoft/lib/libippch.so.7.0 (0x00007f82fb562000) libippdc.so.7.0 => /opt/rsoft/lib/libippdc.so.7.0 (0x00007f82fb455000) libippcc.so.7.0 => /opt/rsoft/lib/libippcc.so.7.0 (0x00007f82fb338000) libippcv.so.7.0 => /opt/rsoft/lib/libippcv.so.7.0 (0x00007f82fb214000) libippj.so.7.0 => /opt/rsoft/lib/libippj.so.7.0 (0x00007f82fb100000) libippi.so.7.0 => /opt/rsoft/lib/libippi.so.7.0 (0x00007f82faf4f000) libipps.so.7.0 => /opt/rsoft/lib/libipps.so.7.0 (0x00007f82fade7000) libippcore.so.7.0 => /opt/rsoft/lib/libippcore.so.7.0 (0x00007f82faccc000) libpthread.so.0 => /lib64/libpthread.so.0 (0x00007f82faaae000) libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x00007f82fa709000) libdl.so.2 => /lib64/libdl.so.2 (0x00007f82fa505000) libm.so.6 => /lib64/libm.so.6 (0x00007f82fa1f2000) /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00005617b4a56000) Looking at libtbb.so.2, I see: ldd /usr/lib64/libtbb.so.2 linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffc0b5db000) libdl.so.2 => /lib64/libdl.so.2 (0x00007f172c38e000) libpthread.so.0 => /lib64/libpthread.so.0 (0x00007f172c170000) libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6 (0x00007f172bde7000) libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib64/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x00007f172bbcf000) libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x00007f172b828000) /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x000055804559e000) libm.so.6 => /lib64/libm.so.6 (0x00007f172b515000) So all for that lib is found. Just in case the RPMs did not do so, I ran ldconfig. So I expect the libs in /usr/lib64 to be seen. My /etc/ld.so.conf file is the default: /usr/local/lib64 /usr/local/lib include /etc/ld.so.conf.d/*.conf # /lib64, /lib, /usr/lib64 and /usr/lib gets added # automatically by ldconfig after parsing this file. # So, they do not need to be listed. I am not new to this as I use libs all over the place all the time. I have not experienced libs not being seen.
