[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

[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.

[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

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.
