[opensuse] removable media - again
by Istvan Gabor 04 May '17

04 May '17

Hello: I have installed plasma desktop on openSUSE Leap 42.2 only to see how it shows my hard disks volumes. Here is a screenshot of removable devices system setting module (Device notifier applet -> configure removable devices): http://i64.tinypic.com/hrmy4j.jpg None of the devices listed in the window is a removable device. All of them are partitions on SATA internal hard disks, some of them are parts of RAID1 arrays. I would expect only plugable USB drives (and maybe external eSATA drives) interpreted as removable devices. It seems Leap 42.2 (and probably 42.1 and openSUSE 13.2) has deficiencies in differentiating between removable and non-removable drives. I can recall that openSUSE 9.x, 10.x, 11.x and 12.x haven't recognized internal IDE and SATA drives as removable devices. They could make a clear difference between internal drives and external USB drives and handle them accordingly (for example assign proper icons to them). Why is this?

[opensuse] RAID/XFS performance question
by Peter Suetterlin 04 May '17

04 May '17

Hi, I think there are some big-data guys around here, so I thought I look if someone has a clue on this: I'm running a large (55TB) RAID5 set for our data acquisition system. It's 16 4TB SSDs (Samsung 850 EVO) connected to two LSI MegaRAID SAS-3 3008 cards sitting in an Asus Z170-deluxe mainboard. Disks are in JBOD mode, RAID is formed via mdadm. Filesystem is XFS. In general it is a very nice system, but there is one ununderstandable thing: some of our cameras generate data in single files (~700k/file), and collects the files in a single directory, at 36files/s. So it is ending up with a lot of files. The problem arrives when the data are to be deleted: Doing an rm -rf on a 700GB directory tree (several cameras, several runs, so the data is typically split in some 30-40 subdirectories) takes around 40 MINUTES. Now I know that XFS is not the fastest for this operation, BUT: The computer has an 'emergency RAID set', in case we run out of space. It is a 6x6TB HDD RAID5, connected to the mainboards SATA ports. Also mdadm RAID with XFS. On this (in general performance much slower) 28TB RAID, the same dataset gets deleted in around 2 minutes. I tried (on a different computer though) 'faking' a 16-disk RAID on 4 1TB SSDs with 4 partitions each (on MB SATA ports), that one also deleted 'fast' (1.5 min) So the big question is what is wrong with the SSD RAID? Is it the number of disks, the LSI card, the size of the volume? Did anyone see similar problems before? Any input is highly welcome :) Here's some config info: transport1:~ # mdadm --detail /dev/md0 /dev/md0: Version : 1.2 Creation Time : Fri Apr 28 12:06:22 2017 Raid Level : raid5 Array Size : 58603292160 (55888.45 GiB 60009.77 GB) Used Dev Size : 3906886144 (3725.90 GiB 4000.65 GB) Raid Devices : 16 Total Devices : 16 Persistence : Superblock is persistent Intent Bitmap : Internal Layout : left-symmetric Chunk Size : 512K transport1:~ # xfs_info /dev/md0 meta-data=/dev/md0 isize=256 agcount=55, agsize=268435328 blks = sectsz=512 attr=2, projid32bit=1 = crc=0 finobt=0 spinodes=0 data = bsize=4096 blocks=14650823040, imaxpct=1 = sunit=128 swidth=1920 blks naming =version 2 bsize=4096 ascii-ci=0 ftype=1 log =internal bsize=4096 blocks=521728, version=2 = sectsz=512 sunit=8 blks, lazy-count=1 realtime =none extsz=4096 blocks=0, rtextents=0 -- Dr. Peter "Pit" Suetterlin http://www.astro.su.se/~pit Institute for Solar Physics Tel.: +34 922 405 590 (Spain) P.Suetterlin(a)royac.iac.es +46 8 5537 8559 (Sweden) Peter.Suetterlin(a)astro.su.se -- 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
by Carlos E. R. 04 May '17

04 May '17

-----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. Perhaps the "about:performance" tab itself. Told to reload, doesn't do it. I can't open new pages, it does not obey. I have to exit it completely and restart it.

[opensuse] Irritating "feature" - 42.2 & KDE
by James Knott 04 May '17

04 May '17

One thing I've noticed recently is that when I'm doing something like sending an email, the desktop goes black for several seconds, leaving only the email app visible. It also happens with other apps. Is there anyway to turn this off? It's very irritating. tnx jk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[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] Hard disk volumes and removable flash disks
by Istvan Gabor 03 May '17

03 May '17

Hello: I have openSUSE Leap 42.2 now. I installed KDE3 and it seems it works OK. One thing I don't understand: If I set KDE3 to show device icons on the desktop all my unmounted internal hard disk volumes are shown on the desktop as removable devices represented by the "pendrive" icon. If I plugin a pendrive it's put on the desktop as well (correctly) with the same icon. It seems the system doesn't distinguish between internal hard drive volumes and removable devices. 1. KDE3 or the base system is responsible? 2. How can I fix this? I want removable flash disks and external USB hard disks shown on the desktop but I don't want the many internal hard disk partitions there.

[opensuse] oSC17 Schedule and Registration Booth
by ddemaio 03 May '17

03 May '17

Hi all, I just wanted to write you about the schedule and registration booth for the openSUSE Conference. There were some slight modifications made to the schedule and some talks were shifted by no more than a three hour from when they were originally schedule. This was for Friday and Saturday; Sunday's schedule was unaffected. If there was anyone interested in helping out with the registration booth at the conference, please email me. v/r Doug -- 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] Network Manager not saving Wifi passwords - 42.2 & KDE
by James Knott 02 May '17

02 May '17

I'm trying to set up a WiFi connection, but the passwords don't seem to be saved. I'm also getting a pop up message "Failed to get secrets for... No agents were available for this request". Is this a new "feature" that resulted from an update? I haven't had this problem before. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
