[opensuse] Is 40 dropped packets out of 300,000 high? This is wired cat5 LAN.

by Greg Freemyer

I happened to look at netstat -in with a large SMB upload ongoing and was surprised to see dropped packets. I'm on the client that is uploading the data to a Windows fileserver. They are on receive side which should not have much data in the packets at all. Just ACKs for the data being uploaded: > netstat -in; sleep 120; netstat -in Kernel Interface table Iface MTU Met RX-OK RX-ERR RX-DRP RX-OVR TX-OK TX-ERR TX-DRP TX-OVR Flg eth0 1500 0 1446805 0 105154 0 10527829 0 0 0 BMRU lo 65536 0 69 0 0 0 69 0 0 0 LRU Kernel Interface table Iface MTU Met RX-OK RX-ERR RX-DRP RX-OVR TX-OK TX-ERR TX-DRP TX-OVR Flg eth0 1500 0 1759965 0 105198 0 13887199 0 0 0 BMRU lo 65536 0 69 0 0 0 69 0 0 0 LRU If you look at the delta over those 2 minutes, it's 44 dropped RX packets out of a little over 300,000 overall received packets. It's not outrageous, but it caught me off-guard. And I don't often look at the number of dropped packets. The machines are just a few feet apart and connected to the same 1Gbit switch.

[opensuse] Tethering via USB cable no longer working - half solved.

by Carlos E. R.

Hi, When I tether via WiFi to my Android phone I get: minas-tirith:~ # ifconfig ... wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 0C:EE:E6:D7:BB:5F inet addr:192.168.43.53 Bcast:192.168.43.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::eee:e6ff:fed7:bb5f/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:2558269 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:1639469 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:2837720447 (2706.2 Mb) TX bytes:191793814 (182.9 Mb) minas-tirith:~ # minas-tirith:~ # route Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface default 192.168.43.1 0.0.0.0 UG 600 0 0 wlan0 192.168.43.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 600 0 0 wlan0 minas-tirith:~ # This works.

So I move that file away and try to connect again. But I still get the same IP and GW. The NM applet informs that the current connection is "Auto Ethernet". How do I correct the situation? I have reinstated the "Samsung mobile via USB" profile set to autoIP, but doesn't work. I then noticed that the UUID is wrong, so I renamed the file to "Motorola USB", and changed the UUID. Now, finally, I get the IP set to "192.168.42.18" and GW to 192.168.42.129, and networking finally works via USB tethering. There must be some GUI way of doing this! -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

[opensuse] Tumbleweed installer broken?

by Amish Munshi

Hi, I have tried to install Tumbleweed on a virtualbox for last 2 days and the installer fails on unarchiving few packages. Seems like a broken ISO file. Are Tumbleweed ISO's created daily? Should I just wait for few more days for the ISO to be fixed? Thanks, Amish. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

Is your interface "exposed" to outside internet? FWIW, I see about 8351 errors on one of my interfaces: > netstat -in Kernel Interface table Iface MTU Met RX-OK RX-ERR RX-DRP RX-OVR TX-OK TX-ERR TX-DRP TX-OVR Flg br0 9000 0 181542006 0 0 0 183787495 0 0 0 BMRU eth0 9000 0 42171614 0 0 0 18706929 0 0 0 BMRU eth2 1500 0 1286349301 0 8351 0 1974909214 0 0 0 BMRU eth5 9000 0 249990679 0 0 0 199901144 0 0 0 BMRU Is the interface you are having problems on exposed to the internet? tc shows over 65K packets that were requeued on xmit (so it's a busy dev)... qdisc mq 0: dev eth2 root backlog 0b 0p requeues 29532 backlog 0b 0p requeues 2286 backlog 0b 0p requeues 2477 backlog 0b 0p requeues 3461 backlog 0b 0p requeues 4437 backlog 0b 0p requeues 2822 backlog 0b 0p requeues 2942 backlog 0b 0p requeues 4378 backlog 0b 0p requeues 6729 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Youtube problems

by James Knott

In the past week or so, I've noticed a problem with Youtube in that many videos will no longer play. I now get the dot going around in a circle, but no video. This even happens with videos I had previously watched. It happens with Firefox, Chrome and Seamonkey browsers. However, they work fine on Windows 10 in a VirtualBox VM. I'm running 42.2 & KDE and the problem happens on both my desktop and notebook computers. Has anyone else experienced this? tnx jk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] How can I get the external IP on a script?

by Carlos E. R.

Hi, In order to get the external IP on a script I used (Dec 2015) this one liner: wget -qO - checkip.dyndns.org | cut -d":" -f2 | cut -d"<" -f1 and this is failing now (returns empty), but I'm unable (ie, too thick today) to see why. The output of the wget run is: cer@minas-tirith:~> wget -qO - checkip.dyndns.org <html><head><title>Current IP Check</title></head><body>Current IP Address: 2.141.215.163</body></html> cer@minas-tirith:~> Something has changed, no idea what. Meanwhile, looking on google, I got another simpler oneliner (from https://coderwall.com/p/lmi2jw/get-external-ip-in-a-script): curl http://icanhazip.com they also suggest using http://ifconfig.me/ip instead, but it fails: cer@minas-tirith:~> curl http://icanhazip.com 2.141.215.163 cer@minas-tirith:~> curl http://checkip.dyndns.org cer@minas-tirith:~> curl http://ifconfig.me/ip cer@minas-tirith:~> All sites work on a browser, but only http://icanhazip.com works on the CLI with curl. Why? -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" (Minas Tirith))

Someone suggested tell you to check if flashplayer is installed. Another person on the Spanish mail list comments a very strange but similar problem he has with youtube, this time using Windows, with chrome or Firefox. IE still works. Fails when he uses the network of the site he is at, accessing his client network with his given login. Any variation and it works again, like taking the laptop to another place, or using his login on another computer. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)

[opensuse] Asus laptop ?

by Koenraad Lelong

Hi, My daugher needs a new laptop. She is used to linux, so she wants it on the new laptop. One candidate is an Asus N752VX-GC084T. Anyone has experience with it running Opensuse ? The PC has two graphical chips (NVidia Optimus ?). Does this work with linux nowadays ? Or any recommandations ? 17" screen with decent quality, full HD, good battery-life. Thanks, Koenraad. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
