[opensuse] Need a confirmation about bugs to report for 42.3
by stakanov 27 Aug '17

27 Aug '17

Could anybody with a freshly installed system (new home) or a user with freshly installed system after the creation of a new user with a virgin home confirm these bugs: (I supposte file settings to secure and umaks for the new user is 007 - this is different to the default). a) the creation wizard of kmail is broken. To see that you can do the following: create as first account an imap account (in my case with freenet.de) with it, accept the defaults that it proposes. Give the password and safe it via gpg encryption. It will accept and ... vanish. Now new account will be created. If you create the account manually by putting in the values all works fine. b) kgpg selection of new key is either crippleware or is broken. Selection of what kind of key you want to create is greyed out and dsa/el gamal ist choosen in automatic. And only with 3096. This could be caused by me having installed the nitrokey app (security repos, it is a hardware token). In this case I will have to uninstall it and see if it fixes. The bug has then to be filed against the app but it should not happen as it is in security on request of the distribution, otherwise one would download it at the producers site. Thus it really should work. But it would be nice if somebody could confirm this. I did not create a virgin user since some time so I did not notice. Thank you. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Question about Ethernet setup
by stakanov 27 Aug '17

27 Aug '17

I have following setup: PC A: two network cards with a) mainboard network branched to a router - internet and set in opensuse as eth0 b) a bridge (created to when I run an instance of KVM to give it access c) an Ethernet card PCI-e Intel that has a static IP and should only listen on a specific private range. It is dedicated to the private internal network and is set as internal zone in the firewall. It should "talk" for learning purposes via ssh to a PC B on the home network. When I do set a) eth0 as DHCP IPv4, only no ip, automatic zone b) IPv4 DHCP dynamic IP linked to eth0 -automatic zone (or external zone). and c) eth1 ipv4 static IP, internal zone. I have no internet. I do not understand why. All this is in wicked. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Kmail - Messages Not Displaying After Update
by Sudhir Anand 27 Aug '17

27 Aug '17

Having recently updated both TW and 42.3, Kmail does not display incoming emails. If a message is selected, the headers in reading window are visible but the main body of the messages are not displayed. Anyone else having these issues and any suggestions on how to resolve it? I am using evilution at the moment until this is resolved. Regards. Sudhir Anand.

Back in 2008 when kde.org was pushing KDE4 as the next most wonderful (crippled) thing ever, kde.org undertook an intentional campaign to begin hiding/erasing/destroying everything KDE3 related to force people to adopt KDE4. It wasn't a disk-space or bandwidth issue, it was just a deliberate attempt to bury KDE3 and force a move to KDE4. Unfortunately, openSuSE was complicit in that effort rolling out the "release" of KDE 4.0.4 (which was at best alpha) as the default desktop on 11.0 -- it didn't go so good... download.kde.org is a hodge-podge of mismatched information. For example, the "kate" directory contains the "Windows" executable: https://download.kde.org/stable/kate/ I can probably find a copy of the kde handbook if you really need it. I may even be installed, just under an incorrect path so that is isn't picked up by khelpcenter. (there was a huge path cleanup effort in TDE required to get all the help files in the correct place) Sigh, much work to do. We need our opensuse KDE3 on github so we can all work on it easily without fighting buildservice or osc.... -- David C.

[opensuse] where to enable syntax highlighting ?
by Per Jessen 26 Aug '17

26 Aug '17

On leap421, /etc/multipath.conf has syntax highlighting active in vim, on leap422 it does not. In leap421, when editing this file, I can turn it on and off with "syntax on/off", in leap422 this makes no difference. Syntax highlighting does work in leap422, e.g. in /etc/resolv.conf. /etc/vimrc on the two systems are identical. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (20.2°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - dedicated server rental in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] BTRFS / as Read-Only
by Marco Flores 25 Aug '17

25 Aug '17

Has anyone repaired an openSUSE System that initializes the / partition as read-only (and by definition, can't be used)? I've already tried btrfs check --repair, but no success. I can mount the partition in recovery as read-write and be able to create and edit files, but still the system mounts read-only. Don't have much time in weekdays to test, that's why I'm asking for ideas to try, or a procedure if anyone has experienced the same. Best regards. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] wireless access point
by Roger Oberholtzer 24 Aug '17

24 Aug '17

We want to set up a Linux and a Windows computer on a local wireless network. We would like to do this without using a dedicated access point. Having the Linux computer also be an access point would be the best solution. Is it possible for a single wireless port on Linux be both an access point and a regular wireless port at the same time? I have seen information on setting up openSUSE to be a wireless access point. Something like this: Ad-Hoc connection setup with YaST YaST -> Network devices -> Network Card select ifup, click Next select card, Edit select Static address setup and fill up the IP address, Next select Operating Mode Ad-Hoc and set ESSID to your domain id select authentication, Next, Finish Has anyone done this? The Linux wireless port currently reports: # iwconfig wlp2s0 wlp2s0 IEEE 802.11abgn ESSID:"RAMBOLL-GUEST" Mode:Managed Frequency:5.2 GHz Access Point: 84:3D:C6:B3:40:2D Bit Rate=300 Mb/s Tx-Power=0 dBm Retry long limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Encryption key:off Power Management:off Link Quality=65/70 Signal level=-45 dBm Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:612 Invalid misc:803 Missed beacon:0 -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Setting domain name in Yast
by Roger Oberholtzer 24 Aug '17

24 Aug '17

On both Tumbleweed and Leap 42.3, if I set the domain name in YaST2 (Network Settings -> Hostname -> Domain Name), it seems not to be kept. If I check after saving it, it is once again empty. And the hostname command does not report it. In my case, the domain name is ramboll.ramboll-group.global.network, which I think should be accepted. It is not my choice for the domain name. It is the company domain. Isn't this the way to set the domain name? -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
