[opensuse] sash -- can it be linked statically?
by L A Walsh 06 Apr '17

06 Apr '17

I note that 'sash' is dynamically linked, even though the manpage says: Sash should obviously be linked statically, otherwise its purpose is lost. ---- I seem to remember an alternate libc implementation that can allow static linking. It is a recovery shell -- as such, it wouldn't try to contact any daemons or network services. What are the problems in statically linking it? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] GRRR - What re-enabled 'grep' results highlight after the last updates?
by David C. Rankin 05 Apr '17

05 Apr '17

Damnit, I update and now the stupid grep highlight is re-enabled on my system. (leap 42.2). How do I turn it off again? In the past it was controlled by disabling /etc/profile.d/alias.bash That file doesn't exist on my system. Where is the setting hidden now? I want to nuke it, I don't ever want to see the moronic Las Vegas style lights on konsole again after grep. How do I shoot this dog in the head? (sorry Beagle humor) -- David C.

[opensuse] Re: [opensuse-factory] Default gcc version: release bug or request for change...

I looked for the latest under the distributions dir: http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/ and went from there. I just found a http://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/ Which I take it is the TW repo? Isn't TW a distribution? Is there a reason why there isn't, _at_ _least_, a link under the distributions dir? For someone who's never used TW and always looked for the latest distributions under the distributions dir, its not readily found (i.e. in the default distributions dir). Maybe the web maintainers might throw idiots who look for distributions under the distributions dir a 'bone' and toss in a link? ;-) ... That said, though, I'm still not clear why current distributions (like leap) don't have upgraded gcc-defaults where gcc pulls in the latest gcc. You said: > Because it's an old product and changing the compiler > that is used to build packages (and security > updates) is a PITA. I thought the latest leap *was* the current distro -- not an "old product" (i.e. not talking about pre-'latest' releases. Isn't the latest leap release still in factory? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] KRunner & # or ## no longer work
by James Knott 04 Apr '17

04 Apr '17

For many years, I've been using Alt-F2 & # to call up man pages (or ## for info), but that seems to no longer work. I find it now opens some PDF, which has nothing to do with what I want. I recall there's a setting somewhere for KRunner to configure what runs. However, I can't seem to find it. Things like man:, dict: and call: still work OK. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] XFS and CRC on Leap 42.2
by Ciro Iriarte 04 Apr '17

04 Apr '17

Hi!, can anyone comment on XFS stability on Leap 42.2 using crc=1?. I've read that crc=1 should be the new default. I created a XFS filesystem with explicit crc=1. Everything was working fine until I used that filesystem as a NFS repository for ESXi, tried to move some VMs to it and had a complete hang, hours later the filesystem went to read only mode. Trying to repair the FS I get CRC errors on the pending changelog. I can purge the log, as the entries reference the directories of the VMs I tried to move but I'm a little worried about keeping it like that. I've just moved from BTRFS trying to avoid this issues :/ Regards, -- Ciro Iriarte http://iriarte.it -- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

On My laptop: If I plug a cat5 cable in, my wlan0 becomes unuseable. It still has an IP. Network Manager still shows it connected. Kde Connect to my phone still works. But: Ping -I wlan0 <target> doesn't work via wlan0 wget --bind-address=(wlan0-IP) fails Existing ssh connections via wlan0 become dead Is this Intentional and Normal?

[opensuse] Old kernel source
by James Knott 04 Apr '17

04 Apr '17

There's a kernel source update, that fails to install due to lack of disk space. I see a bunch of kernels in /usr/src. I suppose some of those can be deleted to make room? tnx jk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
