by David C. Rankin 16 Oct '18

16 Oct '18

All, zypper is reporting the metadata is messed up on the cinlerra-cv repo for leap 42: baseurl=https://cinelerra-cv.org/five/pkgs/leap42/ The error is: Retrieving repository 'cinelerra' metadata .........................[error] Repository 'cinelerra' is invalid. [cinelerra|https://cinelerra-cv.org/five/pkgs/leap42/] Valid metadata not found at specified URL Please check if the URIs defined for this repository are pointing to a valid repository. The rpms are there and the metadata appears to be there, e.g. https://cinelerra-cv.org/five/pkgs/leap42/cinelerra10bit-5.1-leap42.3-20180… https://cinelerra-cv.org/five/pkgs/leap42/cinelerra-5.1-leap42.3-20180930.x… and https://cinelerra-cv.org/five/pkgs/leap42/repodata/repomd.xml Is there a way to query and figure out what is messed up? -- David C.

[opensuse] Media playing via local network.
by Carlos E. R. 16 Oct '18

16 Oct '18

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Ok, I have a small computer that I use as home file and media server. So I can use it to play files stored on it using Kodi. It also has an Apache server. So I try to watch movies on my tablet, served from my home server. I select a file using the default web brower, tap on it, choose play directly with VLC, and it plays directly without downloading the file in full first. It works fine. I can also select a point of the movie at random and go from that point. But I can't do the same on my laptop, it can't cope despite having much more power. Intel video. First I try with "kodi". Kodi can add video sources: I try "http" and "ssh". Both work, but after a bit the audio gets out of sync with the video. Same problem if I select ssh source (actually sftp). CPU load seems to be 80..90%. So I try vlc: vlc "http://Isengard.valinor/.../file.avi" It plays, but also here the sound gets out of sync, and frames seem to be missing. So I download the file with wget, then play it directly with VLC: plays fine this time. Local play. Then I try another type of remote "download": sshfs cer@Isengard.valinor:/ ~/fusermount/ which mounts the remote system at directory ~/fusermount/, and videos play fine. CPU load seems to be lower, around 60..70% Most of the problems happen with videos recorded from digital tv stream (mpeg). But the same videos play fine when I use fusermount instead of telling VLC to do the downloading. Kodi using fusermount with the same video file gets out of sync. What should I look at? I can not increase the power of the laptop, and anyway, the tablet seems to handle the situation much better. Well, it is also a somewhat smaller display... Ideas? - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.

[opensuse] OT: RGB Video Conversion
by Paul Groves 16 Oct '18

16 Oct '18

Not strictly open SUSE, but technically kind of related as I will be using an openSUSE PC in this set up. Does anyone have any experience with Extron RGB devices? I have some games consoles and a dvd player which all use either Composite / S-Video / YPbPr / RGsB / RGBS and also a PC with a VGA output which is RGBHV. I intend to connect all these devices to an Extron MVX 84 VGA A switch. The first problem is than not all of these signals are RGB. Extron have suggested the DVS 304 which they say will take all the above signals from my switch and convert them to either RGBS or RGBHV. This is great because I have two monitors I can use. One accepts RGBHV (VGA Monitor) and the other accepts RGBS (CRT TV). The problem I have if you may have spotted it is that I have two different sync signal frequencies. The PC being VGA is 31KHz H-sync (meant for VGA) and all of the other devices are 15.6KHz (meant for RGB TVs). So what I want to know is; can I use a device such as the Extron DVS 304 to convert all of the input sync frequencies to either 15.6KHz or 31KHz so that I can use one of my two available monitors? Any advice will be appreciated. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] What is your favorite Dropbox replacement?
by Albert Oszkó 16 Oct '18

16 Oct '18

Hi all, Probably many of you got a warning from Dropbox that from this November it will only support ext4 filesystems (from the linux world). Unfortunately my two most used computers have XFS filesystem, so I am in a bit trouble. Before moving - to my regret - to something other cloud storage, I would like to ask your opininon: how do you manage this question. Google drive would be an obvious choice, but I still do not know of a decent linux client. Albert

[opensuse] problem with network startup and netcosole
by don fisher 16 Oct '18

16 Oct '18

I am running opensuse 42.3 with a 4.18.7 kernel. I have worked on this netconsole problem for almost two months. I realize it is not part of the standard distribution, but I feel it should work to allow one to record crash dumps. I am currently looking for: 1. a person with expertise in network startup and netconsole; 2. a person that will build a system with netconsole to verify my problem. Below is my setup, first the kernel command line: linux netconsole=64001@192.168.7.60/eth0,64001@192.168.7.55/34:e6:d7:01:2a:dd loglevel=8 and then my receiving script: sudo nc -v -u -l 64001 | tee netconsole.log In summary, netconsole works fine, up to the point it hangs at around 12us after boot. Before the hang the destination output matches that presented by dmesg. I looked in /var/log/messages for an entry corresponding to the time netconsole halts and I find: systemd[1]: Started wicked AutoIPv4 supplicant service. And I do not believe the destination is hanging, because if I reboot the source, the output log on the destination continues. Messages such as those generated by ("modprobe floppy" = no such device) also do not appear on the destination, but do appear in dmesg. The output also continues on the destination if I issue a command to generate a panic, "echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger". So something in the panic must be fixing netconsole. If I run the module version, it behaves as expected printing the "no such device" messages from "modprobe floppy", and others that I found suggested on the net. I have read the Linux Device Drivers book, and asked the question on opensuse_kernel, kernelnewbies and this list. From what I can discover, netconsole is a driver stacked on printk, so anything printk issues should go to netconsole. Most respondents to my queries tell me that the log level is incorrect, but I feel if the messages are appearing in the dmesg dump the log level must be correct. The "Started wicked AutoIPv4 supplicant service" message coincident with the freeze makes me believe that the opensuse system startup is corrupting the linkage netconsole has established. Any assistance would be appreciated. Don -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] ntfs or ntfs-3g?
by DennisG 15 Oct '18

15 Oct '18

I have 2 W10 partitions using ntfs. When I set the first one up for mount in fstab, I manually edited the file to use the ntfs-3g driver because the openSUSE documentation recommends using that FUSE driver. Later, for the second partition I used YaST Partitioner to set the mount point in fstab; in that case YaST wrote ntfs to fstab rather than ntfs-3g. Both appear to work. Which is correct? And why do they both work? Thanks! --dg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] How to disable synaptiks/touchpad in KDE4?
by Istvan Gabor 15 Oct '18

15 Oct '18

Hello: This occurs in openSUSE 13.1 with its default KDE4 (4.11.5). Whenever I login to KDE session a message window pops up. Originally I did not have this message after login, it started only some time ago. The title of the window is: "Error - synaptiks" The message in the window is: "No touchpad found No Touchpad found in this system. If the system has a touchpad, please make sure that the synaptiks drive is properly installed and configured. If your touchpad is not found, though the driver is installed and configured correctly, please compile detailed information about your touchpad hardware and report this issue to the issue tracker." I don't have touchpad attached to the computer. Why does KDE try to start it? I searched for touchpad in KDE4 settings (systemsettings) and found only one instance of touchpad called "touchpad configuration" under Hardware/Input devices/Touchpad. But that shows the very same message as the above, and there is no any option to disable touchdpad. I found that in system tray I have a synaptiks icon (little triangle) but its menu's "Touchpad on" line is not checked and the "Configure synaptiks" line is grayed out. I checked yast too but couldn't find synaptiks or touchap setting there. How can I disabel it and get rid of this annoying popup message?
