[opensuse] Disabled multimedia apps and libs Publishing
by Dave Plater 07 Sep '17

07 Sep '17

Hi, I've disabled publishing for the two main multimedia projects as per request on https://status.opensuse.org/incidents/18#update-20 This may make installation from these repos unreliable. Maybe other project maintainers should do the same. Dave P -- 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. Any suggestions? -- fr.gr. member openSUSE Freek de Kruijf -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[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?
by stakanov 05 Sep '17

05 Sep '17

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? Thank you. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

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)

[opensuse] 42.3 - Konqueror doesn't open to home directory
by James Knott 01 Sep '17

01 Sep '17

Since updating to 42.3, I find Konqueror no longer opens to my home directory. I was finally able to get it to the point where it opens to a blank screen, but I still have to click on the home button, to show my home directory? Is there any way to fix this, so that it works properly? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
