[opensuse] SuSEfirewall2 on Debian
by Roger Price 09 Jan '18

09 Jan '18

I was looking for a firewall for a Debian box used as a workstation with one network interface. I found a choice of 16 at https://wiki.debian.org/Firewalls , but after some time looking at Shorewall I realized that the familiar SuSEfirewall2 would be much simpler and easier to set up. As an added bonus, SuSEfirewall2 offers easy to use hooks to add custom functions, for example to use ipsets. I copied the following 42.3 files: /usr/sbin/SuSEfirewall2 (Check directories of utility programs) /usr/share/SuSEfirewall2/rpcusers /usr/share/SuSEfirewall2/defaults/50-default.cfg /etc/sysconfig/SuSEfirewall2 /etc/sysconfig/SuSEfirewall2.d/services/* /etc/sysconfig/scripts/SuSEfirewall2-* /etc/systemd/system/SuSEfirewall2_setup.service (Soft link) /usr/lib/systemd/system/SuSEfirewall2.service ExecStart=/bin/bash /sbin/SuSEfirewall2 boot_setup ExecStop=/bin/bash /sbin/SuSEfirewall2 systemd_stop /usr/lib/systemd/system/SuSEfirewall2_init.service ExecStart=/bin/bash /sbin/SuSEfirewall2 boot_init I created directory /var/run/SuSEfirewall2 and I had a fully working stateful packet filter firewall. My custom Bash script which sets up ipsets worked at the first attempt. For openSUSE admins who also have to manage other distributions, SuSEfirewall2 on Debian - recommended.

[opensuse] optimus and meltdown fix
by Peter Suetterlin 09 Jan '18

09 Jan '18

Hi, I just rebooted my TW laptop with the latest, meltdown-fixed kernel (4.14.11-1). Indeed the meltdown-exploit test shows it as NOT VULNERABLE Great. But the computer has an optimus graphics (HD530+940MX), so I had a look at the standard test, optirun glxspheres. It runs at ~49 fps! This used to be 60 (refresh rate of the screen), so that would suggest an 18% performance drop :o Just tried to verify the old numbers, as also the nvidia driver had been upgraded (384.98->111, though the changelog doesn't mention anything strange) I rebooted the previous kernel, 4.14.9-1. Unfortunately™ the update had also updated bbswitch-kmp-default and removed the neccessary module for the previous kernel. Shouldn't those allow multi-version and stay installed when a newer kernel comes in? It's not that the old kernel boot option is useless that way, but it's clearly flawed :( So no reconfirmed old number on the fps. But almost 20% - wow. Didn't someone state programs like games should not be affected too much? I'll try a boot with nopti now and see what happens.... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

Hello. I'm trying to use audacity in Opensuse Leap 42.2 as I've been doing for long but these days I've got the following message: Fatal Error: Mismatch between the program and library build versions detected. The library used 3.0 (wchar_t,compiler with C++ ABI 1002,wx containers,compatible with 2.8), and your program used 3.0 (wchar_t,compiler with C++ ABI 1009,wx containers,compatible with 2.8). I'm using the PACKMAN version. What can I do? Thanks in advance Josep M -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

Hi, While a performance hit will likely be there, it is hard to say how big it will be. It really depends on the workload.

[opensuse] Accessing Samsung S8
by Koenraad Lelong 07 Jan '18

07 Jan '18

Hi, My daughter has a new smartphone, a Samsung S8. She want to transfer files to it, but it's not working. Plugging in the phone in her laptop and setting the phone's USB-properties to "file transfer" results in the phone being seen. Unfortunately, from there on it fails. No way to access the phone. Rather strange, on my own PC it works. Both are running Leap 42.2. I did a journlctl -f on my daughter's laptop. This is the result : jan 05 23:03:04 julie-hp2 kernel: usb 1-3: new high-speed USB device number 11 using xhci_hcd jan 05 23:03:05 julie-hp2 kernel: usb 1-3: New USB device found, idVendor=04e8, idProduct=6860 jan 05 23:03:05 julie-hp2 kernel: usb 1-3: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 jan 05 23:03:05 julie-hp2 kernel: usb 1-3: Product: SAMSUNG_Android jan 05 23:03:05 julie-hp2 kernel: usb 1-3: Manufacturer: SAMSUNG jan 05 23:03:05 julie-hp2 kernel: usb 1-3: SerialNumber: xxxx jan 05 23:03:05 julie-hp2 kernel: cdc_acm 1-3:1.1: ttyACM0: USB ACM device jan 05 23:03:26 julie-hp2 ModemManager[1173]: <info> Creating modem with plugin 'Generic' and '1' ports jan 05 23:03:26 julie-hp2 ModemManager[1173]: <warn> (ttyACM0) could not open serial device (2) jan 05 23:03:26 julie-hp2 ModemManager[1173]: <info> Modem for device at '/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb1/1-3' successfully created jan 05 23:03:26 julie-hp2 ModemManager[1173]: <warn> Couldn't start initialization: Couldn't open ports during modem initialization: Couldn't open primary port: Could not open serial device ttyACM0: No such file or directory jan 05 23:03:26 julie-hp2 kernel: usb 1-3: USB disconnect, device number 11 jan 05 23:03:26 julie-hp2 kernel: cdc_acm 1-3:1.1: failed to set dtr/rts jan 05 23:03:26 julie-hp2 ModemManager[1173]: <warn> couldn't initialize the modem: 'Modem is unusable, cannot fully initialize' jan 05 23:03:26 julie-hp2 ModemManager[1173]: <info> (tty/ttyACM0): released by modem /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb1/1-3 jan 05 23:03:26 julie-hp2 kernel: usb 1-3: new high-speed USB device number 12 using xhci_hcd jan 05 23:03:26 julie-hp2 kernel: usb 1-3: New USB device found, idVendor=04e8, idProduct=6860 jan 05 23:03:26 julie-hp2 kernel: usb 1-3: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 jan 05 23:03:26 julie-hp2 kernel: usb 1-3: Product: SAMSUNG_Android jan 05 23:03:26 julie-hp2 kernel: usb 1-3: Manufacturer: SAMSUNG jan 05 23:03:26 julie-hp2 kernel: usb 1-3: SerialNumber: xxxx jan 05 23:03:26 julie-hp2 kernel: cdc_acm 1-3:1.1: ttyACM0: USB ACM device jan 05 23:03:45 julie-hp2 ModemManager[1173]: <info> Creating modem with plugin 'Generic' and '1' Any hints to solve this ? Googling was no help, but maybe I'm not giving the right question. I thought usb_modeswitch would to the trick, but on both laptops it's installed, and the conf-file in /etc is the same. Or should I look elsewhere ? It's a long time since I needed usb_modeswitch, I can't remember what I did when I needed it.

[opensuse] Is it possible to define br0 without IP ?
by Andrei V 07 Jan '18

07 Jan '18

Hi, I have KVM guest running on SuSE Leap 42.3 PC (with 2 NICs), and current net setup (done by Yast) made a br0 bridged to eth0. Is it possible to remove IP from the br0 definition ? 2nd NIC on this server have IP 192.168.0.11, and is used for file server archive. So I would like to keep both NICs connected. Right now this PC have a network problem with name resolution or default route.
