I usually take the newest openSUSE kernel (from repository
Kernel_stable). But since some month I have a DVB T2 HD card, which
requires a patch (see https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=194171).
So I need to compile kernels myself. I have a working compilation path.
But the current path has 12 steps! It takes some time. I wonder, why it
is so complicated to configure, compile and install a Kernel under openSUSE.
Is there a better/easier/automated way to configure, compile and install
a Kernel under openSUSE?
I know this blog article. But the article uses Vanilla kernels and also
needs 6 steps. With additional patches (4 steps), third-party modules (2
steps) and cleanup (1 step) the article would also need 13 steps:
Compiling the Linux Kernel, the SUSE way
https://www.suse.com/communities/blog/compiling-de-linux-kernel-suse-way/
This is my Kernel configuration, compilation and installation path:
1. Update kernel-source and kernel-default from Kernel_stable repository
2. Save kernel-source: cp -a /usr/src/linux-4.x.y-...
/usr/src/linux-4.x.y-my
3. Apply my patches
cd /usr/src/linux-4.x.y-my
patch -b -p1 < ~myuser/.../my-kernel-patch.patch
4. Copy standard configuration:
cd /usr/src/linux-4.x.y-my
cp -v /boot/config-4.11.4-1.gcba98ee-default .config
5. Edit .config:
remove CONFIG_LOCALVERSION, CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL, CONFIG_EXPERT
remove some hardware-dependent settings
6. edit configuration interactively:
Disable CONFIG_EXPERT and CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL, because otherwise
"make binrpm-pkg" creates huge kernel binaries.
make oldconfig
[...]
Local version - append to kernel release (LOCALVERSION) [] (NEW) -my1
*
* Configure standard kernel features (expert users)
*
Configure standard kernel features (expert users) (EXPERT) [N/y/?]
(NEW)
Kernel debugging (DEBUG_KERNEL) [N/y/?] (NEW)
make menuconfig
Do some additional configuration.
7. Compile kernel
(-j4 for four processor cores, ionice and nice to reduce the load,
binrpm-pkg for RPM without source-RPM)
make clean
nice ionice -c idle make -j4 binrpm-pkg
8. Install the kernel RPM package
rpm -Uvh /usr/src/packages/RPMS/x86_64/kernel-4.x.y_my1-....x86_64.rpm
9. Install necessary symbolic links for "dkms"
cd /lib/modules/4.x.y-my1
ln -sv /usr/src/linux-4.x.y-my source
ln -sv /usr/src/linux-4.x.y-my build
10. Update third-party modules (e.g. Nvidia driver):
dkms install -m nvidia -v 375.66 -k 4.x.y-my1
11. Cleanup
cd /usr/src/linux-4.x.y-my
make clean
12. Select Grub configuration and reboot
grub2-once --list | less
grub2-once 2
reboot

Björn

Just been emailed this link:
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/49650/how-to-get-keycodes-for-xmod…
To quote this article:
Here you can see keycode 97 is unused on my system:
|keycode 94 = less greater less greater bar brokenbar keycode 95 = F11
XF86Switch_VT_11 F11 XF86Switch_VT_11 keycode 96 = F12 XF86Switch_VT_12
F12 XF86Switch_VT_12 keycode 97 = keycode 98 = Katakana NoSymbol
Katakana keycode 99 = Hiragana NoSymbol Hiragana |
The keycode X uses and the keycode the kernel uses are OFF BY 8 for
"historical reasons". So take 97 - 8 = 89 and use 89 with the
setkeycodes command (again as root):
So to make my vol - button work (xmodmap keycode 122 -8 = 114)
setkeycodes e01e 114
This has worked! I have re-mapped apl the buttons apart from my hotkeys.

Still looking for the keycodes for F13-16

Hi Folks,
There seems to be a flurry of IPv6 talk going on, maybe this is time
for me to bring up the rogue router problem again? I asked about
this a couple of times over the years but could never find anyone
to comment on it.
First, here's the RFC that describes the problem:
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6104
Rogue routers have affected me personally at a customer's site.
This is a large, professionally managed, dual-stacked network with
a number of v4 class B addresses and thousands of hosts. Subnets
seem to be /20 CIDR in size, so there are plenty of "neighbors" on
any given subnet.
I've encountered the situation where misconfigured Windows systems
will advertise themselves as an IPv6 router. They then happily accept
traffic and drop it all silently on the floor. This problem doesn't seem
to bother other Windows boxes too much, but it absolutely kills SSH
connections. SSH preferentially tries IPv6 port 22, which when sent
to a dumb Windows box results in very long hangups and connection
failures. My workaround for my cohort of Linux desktops and servers
was to disable IPv6 for both ssh and sshd. This will work for as long
as the host network supports dual stacks, but eventually?
Then there's the issue of intentional MITM attacks using this vector.
If a bad actor has physical access to a subnet, or has compromised
a host on that subnet, your goose is cooked.
This link mentions some mitigations, but they're quite technical and
may require hardware support.
https://community.infoblox.com/t5/IPv6-Center-of-Excellence/Holding-IPv6-Ne…
So, what is the threat to a home IPv6 user who has WiFi and an Internet
of Things with minimal/non-existent security? I personally feel safer
behind a nice natted IPv4 firewall with ACL rules between my copper
and WiFi subnets. I just feel that I have more control of the situation
with a simpler network.
Has SUSE addressed this issue? Tell me I don't have to worry about it!
Regards,
Lew

The worst offender this moment is Firefox (Thunderbird is closed now).
But the next is clamd (clamav, antivirus mail scanner daemon)! It is
using more than LibreOffice!
How can that be? It is iddle at the moment, doing nothing.
What can be done to reduce its footprint?
Instead of the daemon, I could call it from amavis, one process per
mail. But this impacts scan speed.
Could the daemon be started "on demand", and be killed a minute after
the last email goes through?

Hi,
I simply can't find a suitable video editor that works.
My goal is to extract the interesting parts of a TV recording. Ie, mark
the start of the movie, the end, the commercials inside, and dump all
that into a single file, perhaps recoding.
One limitation is that movies here have two sound tracks, one in
Spanish, and the other one in the original language, typically English.
I want to keep both, obviously.
I don't need any transition or effect, just a simple editor that allows
me to remove unwanted sections.
I have tried:
pitivi - crashes on start
LiVES - works for an hour at 100% CPU and can't load the file.
dvbcut - says my mpeg file is not a video (and it certainly is!)
tragtor - can convert, but not edit.
openshot - almost. My video has two sound tracks, and this tool ignores
the second track.
cinelerra-cv - I can't make head or tails of it. I tell it to load a
video file, it does, but then I don't see how to do anything. It doesn't
even display the video. I may have to read the manual, but I dislike
having to read a manual for a GUI. Still...
kdenlive - Well... crashes too often. I can mark the cuts, but it does
not display what I'm cutting. And only one sound track.
HandBrake - no edit.
Avidemux - one sound track only.
Kino - abandonware.
Lightworks ??
Shotcut - Segmentation fault on start.

Flowblade ?? I don't understand the tool. May need some reading. At
least it runs.
I would like something that would produce a command line to ffmpeg in a
GUI. Then I could modify further the options. This would be ideal.
tragtor works this way, but has no editor.

Above is from rsync log. Before interrupting the rsync and restarting it I logged output
from hdparm and smartctl:
http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/Hardware/Disk/hdpd-201207-fi965azbme-wd20eurs-os131…
Similar logs from the first WD Green AV disk, first WD I ever bought:
http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/Hardware/Disk/smart-wdAVGP3200AVVS.txt
The smaller 320GB device I consider functional but unreliable, removed from SD DVR
service shortly after the warranty expired and the DVR began producing inexplicable
errors.
The larger (disk of of current interest) has been in a satellite receiver that
runs on a variation of Mips Linux Dreambox FOSSware using a 3.92 kernel, resulting
in original creation of the files that error'd.
I was able to delete the 4 uncopyable files, then restore them from backup.
Smartctl -x reports from my few other WD disks all seem to have identical
Reallocated_Sector_Ct, 200 200 140
Reallocated_Event_Count, 200 200 0
Current_Pending_Sector, 200 200 0
Offline_Uncorrectable 100 253 0
except for 200 173 0 on the bad 320 for current pending.
Can anyone suggest what most likely caused the 4 files to be repeatedly uncopyable?
Driver error or other error in the Dreambox software maybe?
Before the 320 AV and the 2TB AV I had never ever purchased a WD disk, due to
miserable experiences with used WD HDs that had come into my possession over
the years. I was Quantum user for as long as it lasted, eventually switching
to Seagate after nearly as bad experiences with Toshiba and Maxtor.
