[opensuse] 42.3 - Konqueror doesn't open to home directory
by James Knott 01 Sep '17

01 Sep '17

Since updating to 42.3, I find Konqueror no longer opens to my home directory. I was finally able to get it to the point where it opens to a blank screen, but I still have to click on the home button, to show my home directory? Is there any way to fix this, so that it works properly? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Tape Drive Trouble
by Paul Groves 01 Sep '17

01 Sep '17

Hi, I have 4 tape drives in my server and I am lately experiencing a few problems. One night a backup failed with rmtio failed: Input output Error. I ran it again and it worked. This has happened more and more frequently and now the drive fails writing every time with this error. I put the drive (Hp storageworks Ultrium 920) in another server. It works fine. I have just received a storageworks ultrium 1760 drive today. Same problem is occuring. The easiest way to make the error come up is to try mt -f /dev/st3 erase The drive sounds like it erases the tape, then the tape is unloaded and goes back in again automatically. Then it erases it again, then does it again then again and again then eventually it gives up with the message mt: /dev/st3: rmtioctl failed: Input/output error Can anyone enlighten me, what exactly is an mt: rmtio: Input/output error and how can I diagnose where exactly this error is occuring. I have tried disconnecting all other drives on the SCSI bus and only connecting the one scsi drive. I have also tried a different scsi connector on the same cable (which is where another drive that works fine is usually connected). I thought could this be a fault with the cable or the controller? But why would the other 3 drives work fine? Then I thought but if the problem is with my two drives why do they both work in another server? I have also tried connecting one of my working drives to each SCSI connector on the cable in turn and it works fine on every one of them, so surely it is not the SCSI controller or cable? Answers to the obvious: The drive jumper pins are correct I do have a terminator on the end of the SCSI cable I have tried more than one tape I have ran several cleaning cartridges in each drive. There are no error LEDs on the drives I have already tried turning it off and on again :) Please can anyone assist with this? I am completely stumped. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] accessing music files on HDD plugged into router (French ISP "Free")
by gumb 27 Aug '17

27 Aug '17

Hi. This is a very specific case so I'm not expecting miracle responses, but before I give up totally on the idea I thought I'd see if anybody has experience with this: I have an external spinning SATA HD that until now I've plugged directly into the USB port on my PC. There are two partitions, one of which houses my music collection, mostly in FLAC. I access this through Clementine. However, I also have a second PC and the option to access those same files, again through Clementine without having to unplug the drive and stick it in the 2nd PC would be an advantage, especially for times when the first PC is not switched on. I don't want to get into other fancy media storage or outlay further cash. It's not a big deal. But my router, provided (rented, essentially) by my French ISP "Free", has 2 USB ports (and one USB/eSATA). This is the Mini 4K model, box number 1 (I don't bother plugging in box 2 since I don't pay for the TV functionality). Free's routers are perhaps a bit non-standard in their functionality, and you can't simply install some other software on them. This wikipedia page has some info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freebox When I set up the hard drive on the Freebox OS login page, the address it gives me to access the music partition is of the format: http://{my IP address}:{port number}/share/{unique string} It reads XFS, even if it says I should better use ext4, and I believe FLAC files are supported in some way or other if you want to use the Freebox's built-in media functionality, which isn't really my aim. I'd like to set Clementine to read/write to the music partition via the router, and also just access it as a regular partition on a connected device. I can't simply browse to these files in Dolphin (I'm on Leap 42.2 with KDE). I can use the Freebox OS login through my browser to access the files but you have to use its clumsy interface to upload onto it. The French documentation doesn't really cover a use-case like mine. The above wiki page suggests: 'The server's hard drive is available from the local network to Macintosh, Linux, and Windows computers. It can be made available from the WAN.' I think that's rather referring to the built-in HD on a different model. My model has no built-in HD. Is there a simple way to make this work without getting into hairy network shares setups or other fancy configurations? gumb -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] 42.3: No graphical login after upgrade
by Daniel Bauer 18 Aug '17

18 Aug '17

Hi, I just upgraded to 42.3. It seems to boot normal, but where the graphical login should appear is only a black screen with a mouse-pointer (that I can move) - and nothing happens... If in the boot menu I choose and older Kernel (4.4.74-18.20) I can log in to KDE. That's from where I write now. Where and what can I check so that I can boot normally? Thanks for your help!

[opensuse] update repo very slow
by George from the tribe 07 Aug '17

07 Aug '17

This morning trying to refresh my repositories, the refresh was getting hung up on updating the repo at http://download.opensuse.org/update/leap/42.2/oss/repodata/. I switched from zypper to yast, and started monitoring the update, and it turns out this file was the one that was going very slow, in the repodata subdirectory. http://download.opensuse.org/update/leap/42.2/oss/repodata/cfa171ff1eeec497… So why would that be? The file is listed at a size of 13M, and another file listed at 9.2M seemed to take only the normal time of a few seconds to download. Is there some problem with the update repo? -- George Box: 42.2 | KDE Plasma 5.8 | AMD Phenom IIX4 | 64 | 32GB Laptop #1: 42.2 | KDE Plasma 5.8 | AMD FX 7TH GEN | 64 | 32GB 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] Impressions
by Xen 07 Aug '17

07 Aug '17

I am unsubscribing again, but just wanted to say 2 or three things. I mean, I am happy to see that the OpenSUSE mailing list is at least a lot more busy than the Ubuntu one. OpenSUSE always seemed to have a much larger following strangely enough but maybe that is also because it more a community thing of a real community instead of one artificially created by a company. One the other hand -- well and I could also say that in the past of course OpenSUSE had a great community wiki that really felt like a collection of random people feeling welcome and doing their thing. However, participation is now a commodity. But anyway, back to topic. It troubles me to see that... Basic computer problems such as attaining an IP address or being able to log in, having graphical log in errors, ... I mean to say that if you cannot cover the basics in life, you will never get to the higher things. If you spend your every day hunting, you will never get to some writing, know what I'm saying? The recent debate apparently with dear Linda about rescue environments not being usable by the average person. If you cannot cover the basics then what good can come of the higher level functions? I wish the time would one day come for Linux where support requests were for applications or more advanced stuff. For how to modify the system... ...instead of getting it running ... When I use Windows I do not frequent Windows mailing lists or forums. The thing just works and keeps working most of the time. There are some forums were very mundane problems are voiced; I stay away from these forums. It would be the equivalent of constantly having to deal with people complaining their electricity doesn't work, just because you own a house. Of course Microsoft is trying to render itself extinct by forcing people in due time to pay monthly fees for everything. And I don't know much about Apple but it also sees fans leaving. Due to exorbitant prices in that case, but anyway. Microsoft is in fact in the process of making Linux (or a free, community-owned system) the only possibility. To think that it would suicide. But anyway. Even so it upsets me that the daily things people on Linux mailing lists deal with are so basic and mundane, troubleshooting the lowest cores of the system. Sorry to insult here but to me it is the equivalent of endless worry. Basic stuff should just work. I personally feel the same way I think Linda does. The problem space is getting bigger, not smaller. There are more things that can go wrong now, than in the past. I used OpenSUSE from about 2001 I believe and then later again from about 2009 for a while. I long for the days when stuff was simple and overseeable. When software had the equivalent feeling of the cartoons of the 80s: slow and sane. And now: everything a hyper panic. People these days cannot stand watching these cartoons. Of the 80s. Don't have the patience for it. Everything is so slow-paced we can't believe it. But it also means sanity. Peace and tranquility. I hope this for Linux. But I notice that the underbelly is rumbling and maybe we ate something wrong. That's all I wanted to say: I am a bit shocked by the kinds of troubleshooting that comes by. That's all. See you. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] 42.3 GRUB error: /boot/grub2/i386-pc/normal.mod not found
by Roger Price 04 Aug '17

04 Aug '17

I installed 42.3 on a Dell Precision T7500, in /dev/sda3, ext4, taking all the default Grub options, without UEFI. It has 13.1 and 42.2 already installed in the other partitions. After the installation, 42.3 booted correctly. In /etc/defaults/grub I set GRUB_TIMEOUT=300 and removed options quiet and splash from GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT. I then ran grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg On reboot I see Welcome to Grub! error: file `boot/grub2/i386-pc/normal.mod' not found Entering rescue mode.. grub rescue > Googling shows that this is a known problem in other distributions, but with no crisp simple solution. After reading https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/70538/grub-error-file-grub-i386-pc… I wondered if the simplest approach is to copy the file from /usr/lib/grub2/ ? But how do I do this? Grub rescue is crippled. No help command, no cp command, no command completion, all that "ls (hd0,msdos3)" reports is "File system is ext2". (It's ext4.) I am not an expert in this area - am I looking at a grub2-mkconfig bug? Any hint would be appreciated.

[opensuse] zypper and mirror: maximum redirects
by Roger Oberholtzer 02 Aug '17

02 Aug '17

I have been getting this error sometimes when running zypper (on Leap 42.3): Error code: Curl error 47 Error message: Maximum (6) redirects followed If I tell zypper to retry, it usually works. So, when running zypper interactively, this only a curiosity. The problem is that I am using kiwi to try to build some OEM images of Leap 42.3, and that fails when this happens. So in that context it is a problem. It seems to happen for any repo. All my repos are http://download.opensuse.org, it is doing the redirection to mirrors. Any ideas? -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
