Re: [opensuse] Setting domain name in Yast
by Roger Oberholtzer 23 Aug '17

23 Aug '17

Changing the order of the values in /etc/hosts from acme acme.ramboll.ramboll-group.global.network to acme.ramboll.ramboll-group.global.network acme Did the trick. Not only did hostname now return the correct value, but YaST now shows the Domain Name. So the question is why YaST does not set this as it should be when one sets the Domain Name. Especially given that YaST itself is confused about the Domain Name because of this omission.

[opensuse] iscsi and systemd ? anyone?
by Per Jessen 23 Aug '17

23 Aug '17

I am slowly considering running leap42[23] with xen, but I'm having trouble getting iscsi to work. For instance '/sbin/iscsiadm -k' seems to be hanging all the time. If I kill it, another one appears immediately. Trying to start iscsid results in "IPC qtask write failed: Broken pipe". I know this is hardly the most used technology on this list, but you never know. I suspect some sort of systemd issue - this is the first time I'm trying it with systemd looking after iscsi (daemon, socket). -- Per Jessen, Zürich (18.1°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

[opensuse] Leap 42.2 Latest update kernel 4.4.79-18.26.2 - latptop runs warmer?
by David C. Rankin 22 Aug '17

22 Aug '17

All, Has anyone else noticed laptop temps (or fans running remarkably more) after install of the latest kernel from the update repo? Kernel 4.4.79-18.26.2? I was browsing in FF after the update and the fans seem to run almost non-stop when scrolling pages and the temp recover (to fans quite) is taking longer than with the 4.4.79-18.23.1 kernel. It may be senility on my part, but logging nvtemp shows consistent temp excursions up to 54 degrees. I thought I would ask if anyone else has noticed something similar before I start down this rabbit-hole... -- David C.

[opensuse] Password managers
by Dave Howorth 22 Aug '17

Anton's question about password generators set me thinking. Do people use password managers on openSUSE and why or why not? If you do use one, which one? Cheers, Dave -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

I don't think it's the WiFi connection asking you for a root password. Rather, I am suggesting that NetworkManager may want your root password to be able to set up the connection. I have had NetworkManager ask me for my root password to configure VPN connections. Unfortunately, the interface often isn't clear which password it is asking for :/ -- Carmen Bianca Bakker <carmen(a)carmenbianca.eu> PGP: 2A09 F627 39F6 DEC8 CFFC A216 CD0A 90F1 C5CA 0C92

[opensuse] howto change desktop preview size when mouse over icon (KDE plasma)?
by Daniel Bauer 22 Aug '17

22 Aug '17

Hello, Until 13.2 when hovering over an icon (for example of an image) on the desktop a preview appeared that showed that image in a quite larger size. Since 42.1 this preview image is even smaller than the icon itself and thus isn't really helpful... How can I change the size of the preview image shown when mouse is over the icon? Opensuse 42.3 KDE using folder view for desktop "show preview" for the corresponding filetypes is set in dolphin the preview works as desired Thanks for hints Daniel (To illustrate what I mean I uploaded two small screenshots: http://www.daniel-bauer.com/test/dolphin_preview.jpg http://www.daniel-bauer.com/test/desktop_preview.jpg ) -- Daniel Bauer photographer Basel Barcelona https://www.patreon.com/danielbauer http://www.daniel-bauer.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] xdvi showing white on white text, howto default text black?
by David C. Rankin 22 Aug '17

22 Aug '17

All, Dabbling with latex and xdvi. Unfortunately the xdvi output is white-on-white. What setting controls default rendering? Try it: $ vim myfile.tex \documentclass{article} \begin{document} This is my \emph{first} document prepared in \LaTeX. \end{document} $ latex myfile.tex $ xdvi myfile.dvi If you see something without have to Options->Fonts Darker (about 20 times), what's the trick? I can use '-bg black' and set the xdvi background black and the text shows fine, but why should it default to while-on-white? kdvi renders fine (black text on white background), so it's just xdvi that is the problem on Leap 42.2.
