[opensuse] MPV suddenly starts in maximized window
by Peter Suetterlin 14 Sep '17

14 Sep '17

Hi, my video player mpv suddenly started maximizing the window when I start the program. I cannot find a related setting in /etc/mpv/mpv.conf, nor a window rule for kde/kwin :( System is up-to-date Tumbleweed (mpv-0.26.0-13.2, updated monday) Any suggestions what to look for are highly welcome... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Problem mount nfs share with SLES12
by Rejaine Monteiro 13 Sep '17

13 Sep '17

Hi, I am having a problem to mount an nfs share from a SLES11 server to a client SLES12 (SLES11 to SLES11 works fine) The server side is a SLES11 with the following export: /home/myfolder *(rw,no_subtree_check,no_root_squash,async) The client side is a SLES12 SP2 and when having mounted it gives the following error: # mount server:/home/myfolder /mnt mount.nfs: mount system call failed * No firewall enabled on the server or on the client and both are on the same network (no problem with dns, firewall, etc... ) Any tips? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] openSUSE supports FSFE's new "Public Money, Public Code" Campaign
by Richard Brown 13 Sep '17

13 Sep '17

Hi all, openSUSE rarely involves itself in political or broad advocacy campaigns, but the Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) have today launched a campaign which the openSUSE Board collectively feel very passionately about, and so we have pledged our support to their "Public Money, Public Code" campaign. The premise is nice & simple, that software developed and purchased using tax payers money should be "Public Code", as in covered under an Open Source license. If such a premise were to become policy of governments within Europe, this would bring clear benefits not only in the technical terms of accelerating the pace of innovation & simplifying discovery of security problems, but also in the financial aspect of saving taxpayers money. If you feel the same way I'd like to encourage you to sign the open letter at https://publiccode.eu Anything you can do to help spread the word and encourage support for this campaign would be greatly appreciated. The website also serves as a good source of additional information; There is also this press release: https://fsfe.org/news/2017/news-20170913-01 Spiegel Online also have an article (German only): http://spon.de/ae3Rs The campaign was also mentioned at oSC 17 earlier this year: https://youtu.be/jMdYxmjq0Vk?t=31m20s Thanks, Richard Brown openSUSE Chairman openSUSE Board -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

For the last couple of months Kmail running under Leap 42.3 does not display most messages. Only the top header is shown. I have applied the latest updates today. The alternative is launch Evolution in Leap. Under TW, Kmail displays messages correctly. Go figure!! Regards.

[opensuse] Plasmashell and Firefox freezing if started within five minutes of log-in
by Matthias Bach 09 Sep '17

09 Sep '17

Hi all, Since todays set of updates for openSUSE Leap 42.3, which seems to have included kernels and Systemd updates, my plasmashell will fail to fully load after log-in. It shows the small working area handle in the upper corner but the main control bar is missing. Running `killall plasmashell && kstart plasmashell` will result in exactly the same if done withing roughly five minutes after log-in. Once about five minutes have passed plasmashell will come up fine after a restart and then work flawlessly. The same issue happens for Firefox. If started within the first five minutes after log-in the window will come up, but it won't load any tabs and I can't interact with it. Once roughly five minutes have passed I can start it and it works as usual. Also, konsole works basically, but it will sometimes freeze. Then only killing the window will recover it. This, too, vanishes after the (about) five minute mark. Has anybody observed anything similar after todays update? I have tried booting with the previous kernel version (4.4.79-19.1), but this did not make a difference. The only red lines I found in the Systemd journal is `eventfd() failed: Too many open files`. This however happens about twice per minute: Sep 08 00:43:28 eddie dbus[1730]: [system] Activating via systemd: service name='org.freedesktop.RealtimeKit1' unit='rtkit-daemon.service' Sep 08 00:43:28 eddie systemd[1]: Started RealtimeKit Scheduling Policy Service.

[opensuse] Set up two displays for virtual machine with Virt-Manager (Leap 42.3)
by sogal 08 Sep '17

Hi, I would like to add a second display in my Leap 42.3 VM (hypervisor is KVM on Leap 42.3). I use Virt-manager as graphical frontend. I have already found some information about that and tried to add a second "Video QXL" then use "Remote viewer". Here, in the toolbar > Display > Displays, I can see two entries (checkboxes) but the second remains uncheckable, hence no second display is available. As anyone tried successfully to do this ?

[opensuse] Install Leap 42.3 on a USB booted disk?
by Markus Egg 07 Sep '17

07 Sep '17

Hello, my old trusted laptop from 2007 is capable of booting from a USB disk. I first build in the disk and made the first installation of Leap 42.3 (dual boot with Windows). Then I moved the HDD to a USB case and let the laptop boot to that USB connected disk. Everything looks fine. Question: if I go on with installation on the USB booted disk are there any caveats/bugs/peculiarities I have to pay attention to? Any no go's? After completion I want to move the USB booted HDD back to the laptop as main HDD . Is it possible to do that with a SSD (which is running as main disk in the laptop now) also? Thanks in advance.

[opensuse] Google Earth on Leap 42.3
by Roger Oberholtzer 07 Sep '17

07 Sep '17

Is anyone running Google Earth on Leap 42.3? I have installed it from http://dl.google.com/linux/earth/rpm/stable/x86_64 When I run it, the bit that should show the earth is in a small section in a corner of the app window. Maybe it is a display driver issue? I am using nouveau. I had initial difficulties with the Nvidia driver (installed from RPMs via the Nvidia repo) and had to uninstall it. I have not tried the latest version. But if others still have google-earth-ec issues with other drivers, then it may be a Google-earth issue. -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] DOO mirror trouble debilitating
by Felix Miata 07 Sep '17

07 Sep '17

https://status.opensuse.org/ continues to report major outage. :-( Can someone on 42.3 who is able to make zypper behave as expected using any specific mirror rather than DOO post the content of their OSS and Non-OSS .repo files from /etc/zypp/repos.d/ please? I started an upgrade from 42.1 to 42.3 on my main system late yesterday. It got almost done, then the mirrors went haywire. NAICT, the immediate problem has its roots in the "type" line in each .repo file. I saw something about this subject recently on one of the opensuse mailing lists, but have no idea which list or what the context was, and can't remember enough info for a search to find between zero and an infinite number of hits on lists.opensuse.org. Examining the content of these files, these are the possible types: yast2 rpm-md none For some inexplicable reason, the OSS and Non-OSS repos seem to require a different type than update or optional BS or Packman repos. All other repos host a valid .repo file, but not OSS or Non-OSS. RPM reports no package owns these files, so there's no way to find out what belongs in them. When after getting timeouts trying to use DOO, I try to change to use a specific mirror, I get these messages: Retrieving repository 'NonOSS' metadata .........................................................................[error] Repository 'NonOSS' is invalid.

[opensuse] Problem installing openSUSE Leap 42.3 on Acer Aspire ES 15 in dual boot with Windows
by Freek de Kruijf 06 Sep '17

06 Sep '17

At first I tried to install openSUSE Leap 42.3 with UEFI enabled in the BIOS. I was able to boot from an USB stick and installed it on the disk. However this system when booting only used the Windows boot system, so I never saw GRUB2. The Boot page in BIOS shows a list of devices to boot from, first the USB HDD, second the disk, third Windows Boot System, but with the USB device removed only Windows Boot System is used. Choosing Boot from Disk using the USB stick gives an error message, which I searched for with Google, but I did find, discussions, however not a solution. After that I went for Legacy BIOS and now I get the GRUB2 boot screen, however without the possibility to boot Windows. Changing back to UEFI in the BIOS gives me only Windows again. Changing to Legacy in BIOS gives me GRUB2 and only Leap. It is some kind of dual boot, but not the desired one.

[opensuse] Checking /
by Roger Oberholtzer 06 Sep '17

06 Sep '17

If one needs to have / checked, does openSUSE (13.1...) support making a file called /forcefsck so it happens on reboot? We have a user with a system that is reporting an I/O error on /var/log/messages. And the system is slow. At least KDE is slow. Having eliminated the obvious (no or little disk space), and seeing no process eating CPU time, and getting an I/O error when accessing the end of /var/log/messages, I am considering checking if the root fs has issues. -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] How to set up razor-agent in Leap?

I find plenty of advises how to configure razor-agent in /etc/spamassassin... like: sudo razor-admin -home=/etc/spamassassin/.razor -register sudo razor-admin -home=/etc/spamassassin/.razor -create sudo razor-admin -home=/etc/spamassassin/.razor -discover But this is not the configuration case in opensuse if you just run spamassasin on a userbase AFAIU. Can I use razor-agent in these conditions and were(??) to set it up. How to set it up? Just change the path from /etc/spamassassin to a pass in the respective userhome? And which spamassasin rule has to be set in kmail? And: can two users contemporaneously run it?

Well, if the number of bad sectors keep growing, I also kick the disk out. I have disks in use that once developed a few bad sectors, but not any more. I kept using them for several years and there were no more incidents, till I retired them "because old age", or simply because they are too small. However, I don't use raid, the situation may be different there, because of the timing issues you mention. But notice that if the disk continues to grow bad sectors, I do not use it. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
