[opensuse] using TAR with verify and multi volume
by Paul Groves 29 Aug '17

29 Aug '17

I have always wondered how to do this because it appears it is not possible to use tar with -W (Verify) and -M (multi volume) at the same time. Anyone know a workaround? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Firefox with virus
by Paul Groves 29 Aug '17

29 Aug '17

Hi, I have a customer's computer who's firefox profile is riddled with pop up creating viruses and other nasty stuff. Clearing the cache and cookies etc has not resolved the problem. The customer wants to keep their (almost literally) thousands of open tabs and tab groups and also the browsing history. So the question is, is there any known good way to export all open tabs and tab groups and also the browsing history then import it all back into a clean firefox profile?

[opensuse] postfix logs
by Mikhail Ramendik 29 Aug '17

29 Aug '17

Hello, I am running Leap 42.2. Where can I find the postfix logs? I see that postfix is listening to port 25, and I know a local application is supposed to send something to port 25. I'd like to know what it sends (if anything), but there is no /var/log/maillog or anything like that. -- 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

[opensuse] Locating and possibly disabling an ata device
by Roger Oberholtzer 28 Aug '17

28 Aug '17

I am seeing a message in my logs for a disk identified as 'ata12'. [ 540.600343] ata12: SATA link down (SStatus 0 SControl 310) [ 540.600365] ata12: EH complete [ 540.602844] ata12: exception Emask 0x10 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x4040000 action 0xe frozen [ 540.602845] ata12: irq_stat 0x80000040, connection status changed [ 540.602847] ata12: SError: { CommWake DevExch } [ 540.602851] ata12: limiting SATA link speed to 1.5 Gbps [ 540.602852] ata12: hard resetting link This does not look promising. Oddly, I do not know which disk this is. I am guessing that the '12' is the same as I see with lsscsi: [12:0:0:0] disk Generic Ultra HS-SD/MMC 1.82 /dev/sdg And that one is some USB disk that I am fairly certain is not connected anywhere. All known disks are accounted for. /dev/sdg is /dev/disk/by-id/usb-Generic_Ultra_HS-SD_MMC_F120C6023A1B-0:0 If I check the USB devices, a likely culprit is: Bus 003 Device 005: ID 0424:4060 Standard Microsystems Corp. Ultra Fast Media Reader So I an guessing that on the motherboard there is such a thing. But there is no connection on the outside of the box. I am not using or needing it. Is there any way to disable a device like this so that it 'goes away'? The messages in the system log appear every second or so. I don't need the clutter... -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Run Away! Increasing Numbers of US Asylum-Seekers Seeking Refuge in Canada [also known as "Making America Great Again"]
by Basil Chupin 28 Aug '17

28 Aug '17

The number of asylum-seekers fleeing the United States for Canada is increasing at startling rates. Over the past year some 6,000 people have fled to America's northern neighbor, and, in July alone, Canadian police stopped an estimated 3,000 people illegally attempting to walk into Quebec. "We've never seen those numbers," claimed Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) spokesman Claude Castonguay. "Even though our officers are patrolling 24 hours a day all year long, we've never seen such numbers coming in," he added, according to the Vermont Public Radio. A rural road border crossing north of Champlain, New York, has recently become one of the most popular pathways to flee the United States for Canada. According to a Yemeni man who asked to remain anonymous, the decision to flee the US came about because he did not feel safe in the country. "It's not freedom, it's not safety in the United States," the unnamed asylum-seeker stated. "I came here [to the Canadian border], and I'm going to help my family… [they] live in Abu Dhabi, they don't have work, they don't have money," he added. He researched his flight to Canada by looking online, according to wgntv.com. "I'm looking on the internet, how to go this way, and ask some people on the internet, and they show me everything," he said. The man, like so many others, was stopped by police officials once he reached the border checkpoint. Bilateral agreements between Canada and the United States prevent people who are already in the United States from asking for asylum at border checkpoints. People from Haiti, Sudan, Turkey and Eritrea make up a substantial proportion of those escaping the United States in search of better lives in the north. Many of those fleeing to Canada are said to be Haitian; as a temporary protected status given to many in the island nation following a catastrophic 2010 earthquake will expire in January, 2018. https://sputniknews.com/art_living/201708281056839876-increasing-asylum-see… -- You are NOT entitled to your opinion.

[opensuse] samba nmb service startup again
by Istvan Gabor 27 Aug '17

27 Aug '17

Hello: I have openSUSE 42.2 Leap and samba 4.2.2. I would like to use samba only with localhost interface. In smb.conf I set: [global] bind interfaces only = yes interfaces = lo Unfortunately samba nmb service doesn't start with this setting. # systemctl restart nmb Job for nmb.service failed because a timeout was exceeded. See "systemctl status nmb.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details. # systemctl status nmb ● nmb.service - Samba NMB Daemon Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/nmb.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled) Active: failed (Result: timeout) since Sun 2017-08-27 23:53:06 CEST; 5min ago Main PID: 4529 Status: "nmbd: No local IPv4 non-loopback interfaces available, waiting for interface ..."

Hint: Some lines were ellipsized, use -l to show in full. (nmb starts if I set "interfaces = lo eth*",but I don't want samba to bind to eth* interface) A google query resulted in a bug report regarding this issue: Debian Bug report logs - #842056 nmbd hangs on service start if only the loopback interface is configured https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=842056 If I understand correctly newer samba version should start even if only localhost network interface is configured. Therefore I have updated samba to version samba-4.6.7+git.38.90b2cdb4f22-1.1.x86_64 from http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/network:/samba:/STABLE/openSUSE_L… repo. But with this samba version I get the same error too , nmb service does not start. Is this a samba problem or systemd error? What I want to achieve is to start samba without a real network interface and bind to a virtualbox vboxnet0 interface when it becomes available. I don't want samba to bind to my real network interface (eth*). Any idea?

[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
