[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

For users of old Nvidia cards using the legacy driver 340.102, a patch has to be applied to Nvidia's files before the drivers will compile and install. Full instructions are available at: https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/1019362/fully-working-patch-fo r-nvidia-driver-340-102-compiler-installer-file-and-linux-kernel-4-12/ I followed the setps and the driver installed without any problems.

[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

[opensuse] kde plasma 5 suspend kaput
by Richmond 24 Aug '17

Has anyone tested suspend with 42.3 kde plasma5? It doesn't seem to work at all to me. On resuming, it's like a new login. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] no alias generated by multipath ?
by Per Jessen 24 Aug '17

24 Aug '17

I have a multipath.conf with this: multipaths { multipath { wwid 0x4945540000000000[snip] alias "paga99" path_grouping_policy multibus path_selector "round-robin 0" failback immediate rr_weight priorities no_path_retry 5 rr_min_io 100 } } In defaults, I have "user_friendly_names no". I don't seem to get the alias "paga99" generated under /dev/mapper ? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (19.8°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free dynamic DNS, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] vim-data was downgraded from 421 to 422 ?
by Per Jessen 24 Aug '17

24 Aug '17

In 421 I had vim-data-7.4.326-11.1.noarch, in 422 I have vim-data-7.4.326-10.3.1.noarch - and I'm missing syntax highlighting for /etc/multipath.conf. Just wondering if this downgrade is to blame. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (23.0°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - virtual servers, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Resolve Hostname not working with firewall on
by Paul Groves 24 Aug '17

24 Aug '17

OK probably a dumb question with an obvious answer. I just set up an apache2 server on the latest version of tumbleweed. When I go to http://10.113.0.23 it loads fine when I go to http://hostname it will not load unless I turn off the firewall then it works fine. which ports do I need to allow? Basically having a blonde moment. :-) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] /etc/iscsi/iface/<device> - how do I get to keep iface.ipaddress ?
by Per Jessen 23 Aug '17

23 Aug '17

Every time I amend /etc/iscsi/iface/eth5-bnx2i to add "iface.ipaddress", and then subsequently start yast:: iscsi-client, my change is ignored/overwritten and "iface.ipaddress" disappears. I cannot find anywhere in yast::iscsi-client where this address can be set. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (20.1°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
