[opensuse] no wireless in new laptop
by George from the tribe 14 Jun '17

My old laptop broke, failed motherboard... so had to purchase a new one... Here I am with a Dell Inspiron 15 5576... I have installed leap 42.2, going with gnome for the time being... but, cannot get wireless card to work, and as of now I don't have an ethernet cable to connect it directly to the router.

I mean, that is probably a pretty critical package, with a ton of libraries that the system needs. What can I try? Anything I do I have to download on a different computer, put on a stick, and then put then put the stick in the new computer, and do the package install from there. The new computer cannot connect to the internet until I get wireless installed. I might be able to go out and purchase an ethernet cable later and see if then the ethernet can connect, but I don't know when that will be. So, any help would be greatly appreciated! :) -- George Box: 42.2 | KDE Plasma 5.8 | AMD Phenom IIX4 | 64 | 32GB Laptop #1: 42.2 | gnome | AMD FX 7th gen | 64 | 12GB Laptop #2: 42.2 | KDE Plasma 5.8 | Core i5 | 64 | 8GB -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Quick question: how to call a script function from "find"?
by Carlos E. R. 14 Jun '17

14 Jun '17

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I have this script: #!/bin/bash function doall() { NOMBRE="$*" echo $NOMBRE } find /home/cer/Fusion/Videos/ -type d -exec doall '{}' \; But I get this error message: find: ‘doall’: No such file or directory find: ‘doall’: No such file or directory find: ‘doall’: No such file or directory It is not recognising that "doall" is a function in the same script; instead it tries to call an external command. How can I do this? (Yes, I did try looking 'man', did not seem to find whatever I need to find). Of course, I can write it up in two scripts, but seems ugly. - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.

[opensuse] NetworkManager-wait-online.service (9.486s)
by John Andersen 14 Jun '17

14 Jun '17

The service NetworkManager-wait-online.service takes 9.486s, which more than doubles my boot time. Network target can not start until that wait-on-line completes. Why does this take so long. The machine is connected via cat5 to a gigabit network. None of my other distos even have this service. -- After all is said and done, more is said than done. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Virtual Box not working: Qt FATAL- can't find "xcb"...?
by L A Walsh 14 Jun '17

14 Jun '17

I had VB working until a kernel update sometime ago. Over the weekend, I tried getting VB to work by re-installing. Now I'm getting: > VirtualBox Qt FATAL: This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "xcb". Available platform plugins are: eglfs, linuxfb, minimal, minimalegl, offscreen, wayland-egl, wayland, wayland-xcomposite-egl, wayland-xcomposite-glx, xcb. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

[opensuse] mdadm raid problem
by Istvan Gabor 13 Jun '17

13 Jun '17

Hello: I have this problem in openSUSE 13.2. My mdadm version is: mdadm --version mdadm - v3.3.1 - 5th June 2014 I have some degraded RAID1 arrays. Before adding back the failed devices to the arrays I would like to mount the devices independently and compare their contents. For example: cat /proc/mdstat Personalities : [raid1] md11 : active raid1 sdb11[3] 62918468 blocks super 1.0 [2/1] [U_] md11 array runs with one device: /dev/sdb11, and it (/dev/md11) is mounted. It's failed counterpart is /dev/sdc11. I would like to assemble /dev/sdc11 to a new array and mount the new array. Previously (in openSUSE 12.2, eg.) I could simply do this: mdadm -A /dev/md101 /dev/sdc11 and it worked without problem, assembled md101 that I could mount. But in openSUSE 13.2 (mdadm - v3.3.1) it gives error: mdadm -A /dev/md101 /dev/sdc11 mdadm: Found some drive for an array that is already active: /dev/md/11 mdadm: giving up. I know it means that running md11 array has the same uuid as the "would be created" new md101 array and therefore mdadm prevents its assembly. But how can I then assemble /dev/sdc11 to an independent array? I tried to assemble the new array with updating the uuid: # mdadm -A -U uuid /dev/md101 /dev/sdc11 mdadm: Found some drive for an array that is already active: /dev/md/11 mdadm: giving up. or: mdadm -A -U uuid -u 4ff5944f:b14c863f:9fddd970:c1ea6abc /dev/md101 /dev/sdc11 mdadm: Found some drive for an array that is already active: /dev/md/11 mdadm: giving up. (I changed the last 3 digits of the original uuid.) mdadm man says: -U, --update= Update the superblock on each device while assembling the array. lhe argument given to this flag can be one of sparc2.2, summaries, uuid, name, homehost, resync, byteorder, devicesize, no-bitmap, bbl, no-, metadata, or super-minor. The uuid option will change the uuid of the array. If a UUID is given with the --uuid option that UUID will be used as a new UUID and will NOT be used to help identify the devices in the array. If no --uuid is given, a random UUID is chosen. Even if I could assemble /dev/sdc11 with a new uuid, how can I then add it back to md11 later? The new uuid will prevent it, I guess. I will have to change back the uuid to the original. It is tedious and error-prone. What would be the best solution?

[opensuse] Problems with desktop sharing (krfb) in OpenSuse Leap 42.2
by Rejaine Monteiro 13 Jun '17

13 Jun '17

Hi!! I am having problems with desktop sharing (krfb) in OpenSuse Leap 42.2. On the remote desktop I run krfb with the following options enabled: Enable Desktop Sharing: checked Enable Unattended Access: checked Announce service on the local network : checked Use default port (5900) : checked Security: Allow remote connections to control your desktop: checked (with password) On the other desktop, I run krdc or vncviewer to access the remote computer. I can view the screen, move the pointer, click and open applications. The remote user can see the movement of the mouse and I can open applications, typing ... etc but all in "blind mode". I only see the static screen of the user, but when clicking something, open applications or type, nothing happens to my side (I only see movement of the mouse but remote user tells me that I'm messing with his computer ) What could be happening? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

Running a remote GUI just now, when I clicked on a topic, it started a browser on the remote machine that displays on my local machine via 'X'. Where is my browser choice stored?

Microsoft have just announced: Important notice: All Skype for Linux clients version 4.3 and older will be retired on July 1, 2017.

[opensuse] Simultaneous output to SPDIF and analog
by Mikhail Ramendik 13 Jun '17

13 Jun '17

Hello, I have an ASRock B75 Pro3-M Motherboard. The motherboard has an optical SPDIF output connector. I have a fitting cable and an audio receiver (amplifier). So I have switched the profile in volume settings > audio volume > configuration to IEC958 and now it works. However, I would like to be able to use earphones connected to the computer as well. (I don't currently have the right earphone connector for the receiver). I have enabled "add virtual device for simultaneous output on all local sound cards", but it does not seem to do anything except adding another volume control for the same IEC958 output. The analog output is silent. In the old days (about 10 years ago) I used to fix these things using alsa configuration, but now it's all pulseaudio. So how do I make pulseaudio output to analog and IEC958 at the same time here in Leap 42.2? -- 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
