[opensuse] Tumbleweed installer broken?
by Amish Munshi 01 Jun '17

01 Jun '17

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 01 Jun '17

01 Jun '17

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. 01 Jun '17

01 Jun '17

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 31 May '17

31 May '17

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

[opensuse] Download speed issues
by Mikhail Ramendik 30 May '17

30 May '17

Hello, I have a Leap 42.2 desktop with a Ralink RT2800 PCI 802.11n Wi-FI card. I have recently upgraded my broadband download speed to 40 Mbps and was testing speeds. Unfortunately, I do not have a patch cord that would reach from the desktop to the modem/router. I use speedtest.net. Only 2.4 Ghz Wi-Fi is now enabled on the modem (but I can enable 5 GHz). What I get, in the same geographical position across one internal wall from the modem/router, is: - On an Android phone and on a Windows 10 Toshiba laptop, about 35 MBps, which sounds about right for this Internet connection. - On a Windows 7 Lenovo laptop, initially 20-22 MBps. After updating the Wi-Fi driver, 24 MBps; disabling MIMO power save, 25 MBps. This increases to about 35MBps when I connect it to the modem with a patch cord. - On the Leap desktop using speedtest-cli, 25-27 Mbit/s. - On the Leap desktop using Chrome or Firefox, about 12 Mbps! Upload speeds are pretty much the same everywhere at just under 10 Mbps, which is correct for this Internet connection. So my questions are: - Why could browser-based speed be so much lower? Might downloads using these browsers and other programs be affected? Is there any way I can fix that? - Is there any way to improve the speedtest-cli speed, presumably limited by wi-fi, other than getting a new wi-fi adapter? Might there be driver tweaks? - If I do need to get a new adapter, I guess a 5 GHz one would be sure to get the speed up, as the modem can do 5 GHz, and there are a lot of cheap RTL8811AU USB dongles, but I wonder if the drivers will be a hassle? /sbin/iwconfig output: lo no wireless extensions. wlan0 IEEE 802.11bgn ESSID:"Ramendik_44" Mode:Managed Frequency:2.422 GHz Access Point: DC:EE:06:B1:81:F0 Bit Rate=144.4 Mb/s Tx-Power=20 dBm Retry short limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Power Management:off Link Quality=59/70 Signal level=-51 dBm Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:684 Invalid misc:2129 Missed beacon:0 eth0 no wireless extensio -- Yours, Mikhail Ramendik Unless explicitly stated, all opinions in my mail are my own and do not reflect the views of any organization -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
