[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.

[opensuse] "no battery available" in Leap 42.2, question, laptop, plasma5 related
by stakanov 18 Apr '17

18 Apr '17

I had this case on a travel lately. I had 3 users open simultaneously and inadvertently I did detach the power plug. Now the user I was in (I found out after) claimed: no battery available, while the other two did indicate correctly "on battery" and the respective power left. I thought it was a bug, but I don't think so anymore. After a complete shutdown and restart all was O.K. the next day. Does anybody know which part of the desktop may have crashed and if in case it is possible to restart it manually (or by log out / in) in case it happens. Must be some program that only touches the specific userspace. Other users where not touched by this. Not a big deal, but I was left nearly without battery (needlessly) because I was not warned. So I would like to find out what happened. Thanks. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] How to inhibit accidental reboot, halt, suspend?
by Carlos E. R. 18 Apr '17

18 Apr '17

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, Do we have a method so that halt, reboot, suspend, hibernate operations are disabled? Requiring a secondary confirmation or removal of the inhibit? Scenario: ssh to server. I can accidentally type the wrong command to the wrong session and thus disable the server. If I'm local restoring is easy, but not if remote.

[opensuse] geo_ip
by suse＠a-domani.nl 17 Apr '17

17 Apr '17

Dear all, I have a question about security:/netfilter/openSUSE_Leap_42.2/noarch/xtables-geoip-2016.09-71.2.noarch.rpm In my firewall I examine all unexpected traffic, there for I end added lines for all existing countries, like: iptables -A CC -m geoip --src-cc AD -j LOG --log-prefix " CC=Andorra " iptables -A CC -m geoip --src-cc AD -j DROP I have likewise 250 lines, but still I've got some uncaught lines. Does that mean there are "other countries", or that there are subnets not defined within the package xtables-geoip-2016.09-71.2.noarch.rpm In twelve hours, I got 232 different IPv4 adresses, that xtables-geoip does not recognize. How can I correct this? Kind regards, Hans -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Badblock scanning of Terabyte drive
by Anton Aylward 17 Apr '17

17 Apr '17

My desktop's 1T drive is approaching it's supposed EOL. I realise that time was, the bathtub curve meant that if a drive worked it probably would keep on working, but modern economics seems to mean that a component dies the day after its warranty expires. So I'm apprehensive. I see 2T and 3T drives no on sale for less than I paid for my 1T drive. Why I should consider them when I haven't filled my 1T drive I'm not clear. having a set of mirrored 1T makes more sense then a 2T on a single spindle. I'm using LVM so migrating LVs from oe drive to another is not a problem. HOWEVER .... What I am concerned about is initial reliability. My experience with new drives has never been good. It is one reason why I adopted LVM. The 1T drive I'm using is a replacement under warranty for a drive that threw an enormous amount of uncorrected bad blocks about a week into use. I still had the LVs on the older drive and had simply been mirroring. Upgrading from a 750G to a 1T meant that such problems showed up quickly. But a step from the 1T to a 3T might leave a lot of space never considered. Yes I know about the 'badblock' program. There are a few variants. But that isn't fast. I've used it on a 8G USB and it took a couple of days. OK that's USB not SATA speeds. But how long would it take to scan a 3T drive using the 'badblock' program? TOO-OO-OO-OO-OO long! A drives SMART capability should include some kind of scanning but I'm unclear as to how comprehensive it is. Can anyone fill me in on that? Googling I see a few suggested ideas but they don't seem to reassure me about this question of a 'new drive'. 'smartctl -h /dev/sda' just says "PASSED" which is nice but not detailed. 'smartctl --all /dev/sda' tells me a lot but doesn't seem to tell me what I'm looking for. I'm reluctant to try forcing a scan/test on my live drive. Is there a SMARTCTL command that does the equivalent of a 'badblocks' scan? -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
