[opensuse] [TW] .bashrc suddenly ignored?
by Peter Suetterlin 14 Aug '17

14 Aug '17

Hi List, One of the last updates of my TW laptop has messed up logins: Neither using ssh user@machine, nor my root terminal, 'xterm -ls -e su -' leaves me with a shell that reads my ~/.bashrc It used to do before. I assume that was the update of aaa_base? Why was this done, and how to restore the proper behavior? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] kernel options on boot
by don fisher 14 Aug '17

14 Aug '17

I would prefer to see the kernel output displayed without hitting F2. I thought I had solved this problem with the following lint in /etc/defaults/grub, GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="consoleblank=600 loglevel=0 plymouth.enable=0 resume=/dev/sdc1 showopts" I thought the Plymouth.enable=0 disabled the green screen, but it appears it does not. I could find nothing other than Plymouth.enable=0 on Google or Chapter 13 of the openSuse Reference manual.

[opensuse] pulseaudio wakeups
by Adam Tauno Williams 13 Aug '17

13 Aug '17

In the process of investigating why my laptop recent seems to be running hotter/harder recently I looked at Wakeups under "Power Statistics"->Process. pulseaudio remains steady at 400-500 (per second?). Details are "Wakeup clock (hrtimer_wakeup)". Is this normal? Even when no audio is playing? "Interprocessor interrupt" is the only higher value at 500-600. Otherwise the values fall of very quickly. -- Adam Tauno Williams <mailto:awilliam@whitemice.org> GPG D95ED383 OpenGroupware Developer <http://www.opengroupware.us/> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] How to update intel's microcode?
by Masaru Nomiya 13 Aug '17

13 Aug '17

Hello, I installed kernel 4.13-rc1 on leap 42.2. Since then, I got the message at startup; [Firmware Bug}: TSC_DEADLINE disabled due to Errata: please update microcode to version: 0x22 (or later) My pc's CPU is; processor : 7 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 6 model : 60 model name : Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4790K CPU @ 4.00GHz stepping : 3 microcode : 0x1c cpu MHz : 1041.748 cache size : 8192 KB physical id : 0 siblings : 8 core id : 3 cpu cores : 4 apicid : 7 initial apicid : 7 fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 13 wp : yes The result of; $ dmesg | grep microcode [ 0.000000] [Firmware Bug]: TSC_DEADLINE disabled due to Errata; please update microcode to version: 0x22 (or later) [ 1.469465] microcode: sig=0x306c3, pf=0x2, revision=0x1c [ 1.469634] microcode: Microcode Update Driver: v2.2. And, according to the intel's information, my CPU's microcode was updated on 20170707. So, I installed; 　　ucode-intel-20170707-7.6.1.x86_64.rpm ucode-intel-blob-20170707-7.6.1.x86_64.rpm and iucode-tool-2.1.2-1.1.x86_64.rpm. Then, I executed; # iucode_tool -K This returns; iucode_tool: No valid microcodes were loaded, nothing to do... What's wrong with me? I searched the updating method via google, but it's to no avail. Could someone inform me of updating intel's microcode? Thanks, --- ┏━━┓彡 Masaru Nomiya mail-to: nomiya @ galaxy.dti.ne.jp ┃＼／彡 ┗━━┛ "Bill! You married with Computers. Not with Me!"

[opensuse] emacs and xterm scroll bars
by don fisher 13 Aug '17

13 Aug '17

I have been frustrated with scroll bars, both on xterm and emacs. The emacs scroll bar does not re-size as a function of the buffer size (like Firefox and old emacs). Clicking on the scroll bar top and bottom move the cursor, but the text does not follow. Dragging the cursor appears to work, nearly. It goes to the top correctly, but goes way past the bottom of the buffer. The cursor position does not follow the current text position when movement are made without the cursors. These operations all use mouse-button 1 The xterm scroll bar appears to re-size correctly, but clicking at the top, bottom or dragging does not appear correct. Click on top should bring cursor to top and move text accordingly. click on bottom should bring cursor to bottom. Drag of cursor should slide cursor up and down an show text accordingly. These operations all use mouse-button 1. I also cannot discover not to color the scroll bar and thumb. I have tried setting the modes manually within emacs and they still comes up gray. One used to be able to set resources to colorize different window components. If they exist, I cannot discover the resource names in this environment. These operations all used to work, way back. One can see that Firefox remembers the good old times. After much time on Google, I found an new scroll bar package, yascroll.el. I assume since it is not a .elc file I cannot load it directly. Can anybody remind me 1)if I compile yascroll.el can I load it? 2) and how to compile it and 3) and if not, do I have to rebuild emacs to include it? Any ideas on xterm?

[opensuse] Alt-F2 even more screwed up KDE on 42.3
by James Knott 12 Aug '17

12 Aug '17

I while ago, I started a thread about how pressing Alt-F2# etc. no longer opened a man page. Now even Alt-F2 Man:/ no longer works. Instead of the man page opening, I get a blank Seamonkey window. In addition, something like google.com now opens up Gwenview, instead of going the web site. I now have to specify www.google.com. I wish the devs would quit trying to fix something that's not broken. All they're doing is breaking things. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] can't see Android/sshelper in dolphin
by Daniel Bauer 12 Aug '17

12 Aug '17

Hello, Since google decided that they should be the only one with full access to my mobiles data, it got really complicated to access the data on my android mobile phone. ESftp does not work anymore, and so I installed sshelper. This worked once, but now I have upgraded to leap 42.3 and updated my android 7.0 on a Samsung galaxy S6, and I can't see the phone in dolphin anymore... Before I could click in dolphin on "network" and one of the showed links opened a terminal on the phone to which I could copy my rsync command. Now under "network" there is nothing. When I try from the computer "ssh mobiles-ip-number" it says "access denied", the same happens when I type a rsync command, of course. On the mobile phone I can type the rsync command and it works, but that is very complicated, as I have to type all the text and numbers and pathes on the phones keyboard, making it very complicated and error prone. I cannot use copy/paste and haven't found the key that would let me repeat or change a previously typed command... So, in principle sshelper works, but I cannot use it from the computers side. It would be enough if I could ssh to the mobile in console, so I can type the commands on the desktop, but as said, I don't get a ssh connection in this direction. I Guess it is just something I have to type, but what? Thanks for your hints!

[opensuse] VPN failure with v42.3
by Joseph Comfort 12 Aug '17

12 Aug '17

My university provides a script to establish a VPN connection before I can log in. It is based on Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client. It has worked (and continues to work) fine with openSuSE v13.2 and v42.2. But it fails with v42.3. Thwe error message is: >> state: Connecting >> notice: Establishing VPN session... gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file /tmp/vpn.BRkMjn/vpndownloader: error while loading shared libraries: libpangox-1.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory >> notice: Connection attempt has failed. >> error: AnyConnect was not able to establish a connection to the specified secure gateway. Please try connecting again. >> state: Disconnected None of the 3 SuSE OS's have libpangox . There are 'xft', 'ft2', 'cairo', and empty versions, but no 'x' . openvpn is installed, but I have not tried it. openconnect is also available and the description suggests it may work with Cisco. Does anyone know what the compatabilities are? BTW. I reinstalled v42.2 from my original DVD, with the same rpms (updated) as before, and then encountered the same failure. I used the export/import features of Yast, which has always been a good way to restore an installation. Going from v42.2 to v42.3 is a broken process.

[opensuse] Cannot install rsyslog under Leap 42.3
by Marc Chamberlin 11 Aug '17

11 Aug '17

According to the README file that comes in /var/log it says I should be able to install rsyslog to run alongside the fancy journal - "Syslog implementations such as syslog-ng or rsyslog may be installed side-by-side with the journal and will continue to function the way they always did." Yet when I try, using YaST2, I am getting the following ominous error message - "systemd-logger-228-29.1.x86_64 conflicts with namespace:otherproviders(syslog) provided by rsyslog-8.24.0-1.3.x86_64" My choices are to either deinstall systemd_logger-228-29.1.x86_64 (sounds like a bad idea to my uneducated eyes) or not to install rsyslog which conflicts with my intentions because that is exactly what I am trying to do, install it! So, if I blow away the systemd-logger will I also lose the ability to use the fancy journal logging ability? Or encounter some other nasty surprise later on? Thought I better ask before I do something dumb, as I was expecting rsyslog to install without a whimper...
