by Carlos E. R. 12 Nov '18

12 Nov '18

Hi, I just noticed that Thunderbird now writes the hour in the dates (index view) as "HH. MM", instead of "HH:MM" My locale is: cer@Legolas:~> locale LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TIME=en_DK.UTF-8 LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY=es_ES@euro LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE=es_ES@euro LC_MEASUREMENT=es_ES@euro LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ALL= cer@Legolas:~> And I'm on 15.0 -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.

by Albert Oszkó 09 Nov '18

09 Nov '18

Hi all, My problem is in the subject. I even cannot find anymore where ccould I set it. I have two ASUS laptops, from the K501U series, but they are non identical. Keyboard backlight is lost on both of them. The last 4.17.x kernel had/has keyboard light. I waited for updates but with the coming of 4.18.6 kernel the lights are still lost. Albert

[opensuse] Epson L805 , anybody?
by Radule Šoškić 03 Nov '18

03 Nov '18

Hi, Any experiences with Epson L805 on this list? Compatibility, qualty, economy - pro et contra, please. Currently, I know there is some level of support for Linux (generic driver and utility SW available at http://download.ebz.epson.net/dsc/search/01/search/searchModule) It's all very new (25.10.2018). It seems that CISS/ITS technology takes economy to next level comparing to older ink-jets and lasers, and that's what attracted me. But I would like to get some real-life comments from real users, if any. TIA and best regards, Radule Soskic N��r��y隊Z)z{.�ﮞ˛��m�)z{.��+�:�{Zr�az�'z��j)h��Ǿ� ޮ�^�ˬz��

[opensuse] python question
by George from the tribe 02 Nov '18

02 Nov '18

I am looking to get started on learning python. Any python programmers out there? My number 1 question is, what is your preferred IDE? I am looking at a medium sized project (for my experience) and I expect I will need some good troubleshooting tools that also give syntax help. I have read that Eclipse is a really good IDE for python, even though it is mostly used for java, and that PyDev adds lots of features to Eclipse. But there are other recommendations also. Anyone have any thoughts on what you have used and prefer? Advantages and disadvantages? -- George Box: 42.3 | KDE Plasma 5.8 | AMD Phenom IIX4 | 64 | 32GB Laptop #1: TW | Plasma 5.13 | AMD FX 7TH GEN | 64 | 32GB Laptop #2: 15.0 | KDE Plasma 5.8 | Core i5 | 64 | 8GB -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Questions about name resolving using /etc/hosts
by Marc Chamberlin 01 Nov '18

01 Nov '18

I am running OpenSuSE Leap 42.3 on a machine with 2 NICs. I am also running a Bind DNS server on the same system. I did an experiment in order to assign a unique hostname to each of the NIC interface cards by simply editing my /etc/hosts file as shown below: (sorry, I am not sure how to format this for a newsgroup.) bigbang:/etc # cat /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 localhost # added for each nic 192.168.10.100 bigbangInternal.mydomainname.com bigbangInternal 10.10.10.100 bigbangExternal.mydomainname.com bigbangExternal ::1 localhost ipv6-localhost ipv6-loopback fe00::0 ipv6-localnet ff00::0 ipv6-mcastprefix ff02::1 ipv6-allnodes ff02::2 ipv6-allrouters ff02::3 ipv6-allhosts My host.conf file is configured to look at the hosts file first when resolving names: bigbang:/etc # cat /etc/host.conf ## file comments deleted for brevity... order hosts, bind multi on My nsswitch.conf file is also configured to look at the hosts file first when resolving names: bigbang:/etc # cat /etc/nsswitch.conf ## file comments deleted for brevity... passwd: compat group: compat hosts: files mdns_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns networks: files dns services: files protocols: files rpc: files ethers: files netmasks: files netgroup: files nis publickey: files bootparams: files automount: files nis aliases: files After editing the /etc/hosts file I flushed the name service cache: bigbang:/etc # systemctl restart nscd.service and when I test things out I get the following "surprising" results which appear at first glance to show that the name resolving order specified in nsswitch.conf is not being honored. But something else even deeper is going on as well that really has me baffled: bigbang:/etc # ping bigbangInternal ping: unknown host bigbangInternal ??? I didn't expect that! bigbang:/etc # getent hosts 127.0.0.1 localhost 192.168.10.100 bigbangInternal.mydomainname.com bigbangInternal 10.10.10.100 bigbangExternal.mydomainname.com bigbangExternal that looks good... bigbang:/etc # getent hosts localhost ::1 localhost ??? I am a bit surprised by this as I did not enable IPv6 addresses in YaST bigbang:/etc # getent hosts bigbangInternal bigbang:/etc # getent hosts bigbangInternal.mydomainname.com ??? no response! why not? bigbang:/etc # getent hosts 10.10.10.100 10.10.10.100 mydomainname.com ??? huh? Why did I get my dns domain name? bigbang:/etc # getent hosts 192.168.10.100 ??? no response! My guess is that these attempts to resolve these names and ip addresses is being done by my bind dns server and not by looking things up in the /etc/hosts file. But I don't understand why given that I am specifying that the order of lookup is to be done first via the /etc/hosts file and then by the bind dns server if the lookup in the hosts file fails. What am I missing and/or not understanding? Thanks in advance for any guidance/clues as to why I am seeing these results.

[opensuse] ls or find on directories with millions of files ?
by Per Jessen 01 Nov '18

01 Nov '18

This might be file system dependent, I'm not sure. I've been doing some tidying up and got stuck on a few directories with millions of files in them. 3+ million per directory. Doing a 'find' takes a very long time and also essentially chokes the system. I ended up writing a small utility using getdents() instead, much faster and the system remains operational. I was just wondering if e.g. 'find' or 'ls' had some options that would limit the scope ? (not mtime etc). -- Per Jessen, Zürich (5.9°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - your free DNS host, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
