[opensuse] Nvidia proprietary drivers on Leap 42.3
by Roger Oberholtzer 20 Sep '17

20 Sep '17

Prior to Leap 42.3 (maybe earlier), the nvidia driver RPMs for openSUSE seemed to be remade when a new kernel was released. IIRC, no compiling in the install system was needed. At least that is how I remember it. Now it seems that the driver is recompiled. On http://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/leap/42.3/x86_64/ I see drivers for kernel for 4.4.76_1. On my Leap 42.3 I am running 4.4.87-25-default. While this isn't generally a problem, I am including the drivers in some KIWI install images. Compiling the nvidia stuff seems to take a very long time. Am I missing something? Or perhaps remembering incorrectly? I know that keeping this driver in sync is not an automatic thing. -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Configure IPSec VPN - KDE network manager
by James Knott 19 Sep '17

19 Sep '17

I'm trying to set up an IPSec VPN. In the past, with other systems, I have been able to use a preshared key, to configure the VPN. However, in the network manager, I can choose Certificate/private key, but it appears to also need certificate. Is there something I'm missing with this? Generally, you'd use a certificate or private key, not both. I'm trying to connect to pfSense. tnx jk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

Re: [opensuse] Killing ReiserFS
by Stevens 19 Sep '17

19 Sep '17

I have been following this thread with some interest because of having been running ReiserFS since before he turned homicidal. I have had zero, count that ZERO, problems in all that time so I read with some dismay the effort to actively kill its usage in this whatever-you-call-it distro. I think that the more relevant question to ask is not "can we keep this file system around, pretty please" but "what distros are allowing its use by not actively trying to kill it"? I have used opensuse since before Mandrake went away, which has been a while and, although I don't really want to change distros, I am not married to suse (or leap, or whatever). I feel that what we have here with opensuse/leap is an example of the classic "swing" cartoon which shows the stages of project development from sales, engineering, installation and what the customer actually wanted. My need is not as complex as some and for that ReiserFS works quite well. So, my question remains, "If not suse/leap, then who"? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Update to fetchmsttfonts - is it really necesary to download the fonts again
by Carlos E. R. 19 Sep '17

19 Sep '17

Hi, I noticed an update to fetchmsttfonts. openSUSE-2017-1041 - Recommended update for fetchmsttfonts This update for fetchmsttfonts contains the following fixes: - fetchmsttfonts now uses sf.net automatic mirror selection (boo#1057119) - The cryptographic checksums of the downloaded fonts are now verified (boo#958651) References: 958651 (bugzilla) : add hash validation to fetchmsttfonts.sh 1057119 (bugzilla) : fetchmsttfonts seems to fail It seems it applies to the script. What I wonder is why the script has to actually run on computers that already have the fonts downloaded. It is a very slow process, so why run it again? -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

[opensuse] dhcpd on Leap 42.3
by Roger Oberholtzer 19 Sep '17

19 Sep '17

Has dhcpd been depreciated for Leap 42.3? I see that the Leap docs claim it is the one to use. But I do not see it for Leap 42.3 (as an official package). https://doc.opensuse.org/documentation/leap/reference/html/book.opensuse.re… https://software.opensuse.org/package/dhcpcd -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] komparator
by gumb 19 Sep '17

19 Sep '17

Anybody know of an alternative program to Komparator with very similar functionality? https://sourceforge.net/projects/komparator/ A GUI application with the ability to analyze two directories side by side, show missing files, newer files, duplicate files, compare MD5 checksums, copy from one pane to the other, and more. Note: This is not to be confused with the Kompare utility which shows the content of two text-based FILES side by side. And I'm not really after any of the myriad sync utilities unless they also perform the same *comparison* functions of Komparator. Syncing directories is not my principal concern, it's the more comprehensive side-by-side analysis that is particularly useful. It still works under my 42.2 install but hasn't been updated in years, and I fear given the desire of KDE to drop anything that hasn't been converted to Frameworks 5 it probably won't function come the Leap 15 release series. I use this program regularly - it's incredibly handy, particularly since I can feed it a URL via SSH to a folder on a network machine. gumb -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Leap 42.3
by Robert Schweikert 18 Sep '17

18 Sep '17

Hi, Not even sure as to how to describe the issue or where to start looking. What is happening appears to be an issue with oom or process limits, but I have no idea how to nail this down. My work habbits have not changed, meaning compared to when I was running Leap 42.2 I have a many browser tabs open as before, a lot, and as many terminal and editor windows open as well, again, a lot of those. The symptoms I am seeing are - systemd-coredump process running off and on and when it runs it sucks up 100% cpu - I get "no more process" errors when trying to open a new terminal window - Rhythembox appears to be the mos frequent victim and it gets killed or dies dmesg does not have any "trace" information, but there is a message pointing to some kind of trouble: [178155.684433] Corrupted low memory at ffff880000004000 (4000 phys) = 002777f2 Anyway, the whole thing is annoying and I'd sure like to figure out what's going on. Thoughts? Thanks, Robert -- Robert Schweikert MAY THE SOURCE BE WITH YOU Distinguished Architect LINUX Team Lead Public Cloud rjschwei(a)suse.com IRC: robjo
