[opensuse] Big memory footprint: clamd

The worst offender this moment is Firefox (Thunderbird is closed now). But the next is clamd (clamav, antivirus mail scanner daemon)! It is using more than LibreOffice! How can that be? It is iddle at the moment, doing nothing. What can be done to reduce its footprint? Instead of the daemon, I could call it from amavis, one process per mail. But this impacts scan speed. Could the daemon be started "on demand", and be killed a minute after the last email goes through? - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.

[opensuse] Again, trying to find a suitable video editor.
by Carlos E. R. 02 Dec '17

02 Dec '17

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I simply can't find a suitable video editor that works. My goal is to extract the interesting parts of a TV recording. Ie, mark the start of the movie, the end, the commercials inside, and dump all that into a single file, perhaps recoding. One limitation is that movies here have two sound tracks, one in Spanish, and the other one in the original language, typically English. I want to keep both, obviously. I don't need any transition or effect, just a simple editor that allows me to remove unwanted sections. I have tried: pitivi - crashes on start LiVES - works for an hour at 100% CPU and can't load the file. dvbcut - says my mpeg file is not a video (and it certainly is!) tragtor - can convert, but not edit. openshot - almost. My video has two sound tracks, and this tool ignores the second track. cinelerra-cv - I can't make head or tails of it. I tell it to load a video file, it does, but then I don't see how to do anything. It doesn't even display the video. I may have to read the manual, but I dislike having to read a manual for a GUI. Still... kdenlive - Well... crashes too often. I can mark the cuts, but it does not display what I'm cutting. And only one sound track. HandBrake - no edit. Avidemux - one sound track only. Kino - abandonware. Lightworks ?? Shotcut - Segmentation fault on start. cer@Telcontar:~/Videos/Fusion/trabajo> shotcut QSqlDatabase: QSQLITE driver not loaded QSqlDatabase: available drivers: QMYSQL QMYSQL3 QSqlQuery::exec: database not open QSqlQuery::exec: database not open Database::Database(QObject*) Failed to get version. QSqlQuery::exec: database not open bool Database::upgradeVersion1() Failed to create thumbnails table. Database version is 0 Segmentation fault cer@Telcontar:~/Videos/Fusion/trabajo> Flowblade ?? I don't understand the tool. May need some reading. At least it runs. I would like something that would produce a command line to ffmpeg in a GUI. Then I could modify further the options. This would be ideal. tragtor works this way, but has no editor. - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.

[opensuse] Apache Start Up Problem
by Paul Groves 17 Nov '17

17 Nov '17

Hi All, I had a weird problem today. I noticed that after a reboot of my server, my owncloud instance on my desktop was complaining about an invalid certificate. I tried to 'open owncloud in browser' and was presented with my apache default page. So first thing I tried is restart the apache service. This fixed the problem. However, every time I reboot apache is not loading my configuration correctly and the problem repeats. It appears to be loading the default configuration file fine at boot but ignoring the other files. (including owncloud). But when I manually stop and start the service they load fine. Huh?? Any idea how I can diagnose what is causing this problem? What is the difference between the apache service loading at boot compared to manually starting the service?

[opensuse] Evolution default browser
by Christopher Myers 13 Nov '17

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Hi all, I've got Evolution installed on oS Tumbleweed using KDE, and for some reason, it doesn't respect the fact that Firefox is my default browser - -- every link I try to click on opens in Chromium. Is there any way to change things around? I didn't see any option in the configuration for browser choice. I've googled around on and off for a couple of days now and haven't found anything useful. Thanks! -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEzBAEBCgAdFiEE7GM/Dul8WSWn72odQ1nEo4DFCIUFAlm6k/QACgkQQ1nEo4DF CIWfBgf+K9LYvaYDDFUMJtRTMq+58e2lEP5GkXi7dKQhxhFkeKegwqnyo+fEfpvb RI1FT2aJAqBKsIZ5oZlxsGeJYcmp/+JO7AJ6Oa8XkWz02rmhgXjKPxqQgzQX87FM rNGqxOLXfcKu+CmcMERZswTQ/B/ZtA82eUls6Y5W7lIh2tAUbt2CnFP/6q5uM4wl pO2KNbcVJTTM2uEPSzEIBCQ/7jfZ9ogF+qIClPkn1UCmu3EqkLAhS+cdKzzJs+Cx pXyosNImtxW4FMl6W+m2NS08RCc69+U3Myr9aDe8q8/2fnM/HYApeezDsIpKkdnO t2Nr2WaxarbwUyqt15vTiNs0Q229jg== =joxc -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

[opensuse] I need more ram, but I can't.
by Carlos E. R. 17 Oct '17

17 Oct '17

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I need more ram than my 8GiB, but my board doesn't allow it. I use swap, but Leap is very slow when swapping; I have the feeling that it is slower than other releases. So I wonder if there is some type of small hard disk that can be used for fast swap. SSD? Would it wear out? SSD is typically slow at writing. A RAM based "disk"? No need for battery backup, unless to keep the format. Does it exist? - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.

[opensuse] root in extended partition (42.3)
by listreader 16 Oct '17

16 Oct '17

Leap 423 upgraded from 422. Old drive has been in use probably since 10x. Bios. Generic code is in the MBR. I have 423 / in an extended partition. Grub2 is in 423 /. All was good. I used Yast2-bootloader module to change an option (boot loader password, if it matters). I then exited normally (OK) and yast rewrote/reinstalled the bootloader. Next boot failed at a blinking cursor. I booted with Parted Magic and found that Yast had set the extended partition itself as the boot partition, rather than / which was 2 or 3 partitions deep into the extended. I fixed that and rebooted normally. I went into Yast2-bootloader and Boot Loader Location was still correctly set there as Boot from Root Partition, even though that is not what it apparently wrote to the bootloader. So, my question is, is this expected behaviour? I don't remember this happening in previous releases. Thanks.

[opensuse] Run command as another user
by Paul Groves 07 Oct '17

07 Oct '17

Hi, I need to be able to run a command as another user. I have worked out that I can run the following from one user to execute a command as the other (bob). su - bob -c command prompt for password enter password command runs as bob but, how can I run this on one line for use in a script? (so that I am not prompted for a password). something like; su - bob -c command -p bobspassword The user executing the script is not a sudoer so I cannot use; echo bobspassword | sudo -S -u bob command thanks Paul -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Lost graphical display after TW udate
by Oszkó Albert 28 Sep '17

28 Sep '17

Hi all, Please help me solve my problem, shortly described in the subject. Today I updated my Tumbleweed (with GNOME) on an ASUS K5001UX laptop. All went fine until reboot. I got an apparent command line login and a mouse cursor in the middler of the screen. The command line did not accept any input, the mouse cursor moves. I suspect this is the fault of the nouveau driver. Can I get back X without reinstalling the whole thing? Thanks Albert

[opensuse] rootmail does not work, no matter what
by stakanov 28 Sep '17

28 Sep '17

I tried to fix this since I updated to 42.3. Is there a bug with rootmail not working in that version? I do see there is mail in rootmail, I did set correctly to receive rootmail, but I do not receive anything. Seccheck: nothing rkhunter: nothing. Now these two run (or should run) on a daily basis and should give a report via rootmail. Any suggestion on how to receive rootmail with kmail again? Permissions are set correctly, I checked. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
