[opensuse] Missing possibility to choose Windows at startup
by A. den Oudsen 10 Oct '18

10 Oct '18

A few snapshots earlier I suddenly could not choose for Windows at startup anymore. I sometimes needs that. At the start of the snapshot DVD 20181002 I could choose for Windows In Windows I deleted all openSUSE partitions. After that I used the same DVD to install Tumbleweed as fresh as possible. After restart I got - to my big surprise - Windows, with no possibility to choose Tumbleweed. Now I start Tumbleweed by inserting the 20181002 DVD and chosing 'Boot from Harddisk', and there I can chose both. How to solve this into a simpler situation?

[opensuse] No IPv6 privacy address in 15.0
by James Knott 09 Oct '18

09 Oct '18

I just discovered IPv6 privacy address are not enabled in 15.0 by default. Why is this? It's necessary to add sysctl net.ipv6.conf.eth0.use_tempaddr=2 to /etc/sysctl.conf to enable them. This is on systems using Yast to configure networks. It appears OK with network manager. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

Hi, I just created a new signing key for Emulators and its subprojects like Emulators:Wine. Schlüssel 0xDFA175A75104960E wurde 801 Sekunden in der Zukunft erzeugt (Zeitreise oder Uhrenproblem) My machine seems at the exact time. Can you please check if the machine creating the key is not 13 minutes in the future?

[opensuse] Remote system shutdown
by Roger Oberholtzer 09 Oct '18

09 Oct '18

On a local network, what would be the preferred way for one system to shut down or reboot another system? Something over the network. I am thinking that a systemd service on the master system (openSUSE) would control this other system (Linux - openSUSE or Ubuntu). ssh? I have played with rexec/rcmd and such before. I do not need anything fancy. But a password (exchanged keys perhaps) is needed. -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] dual boot mounting and virtual machines
by George from the tribe 08 Oct '18

08 Oct '18

Is there a way to mount a linux partition in a linux virtual machine on a windows host? The idea is, sometimes I have to boot into windows on my laptop. Most of the time I am in linux, but occasionally I need a true windows environment, without the overhead of a windows virtual machine running in a linux host. When running windows, I have a program that allows me to see and read files on my ext4 partition on the laptop, but it is buggy and performs poorly. Instead, I would like to have a virtual machine running opensuse on my windows host and mount my ext4 partitions on that virtual machine, even though they don't mount in windows without special software. That way I could access my data files from my linux partition, use the applications I am used to that only run on linux, but still be able to use windows. It would not be my normal mode of operation, but it would give me a lot of flexibility. The barrier seems to be figuring out how to get a virtual machine to recognize the file system of the physical hard drive, rather than only recognizing virtual drives. Maybe I could trick it into thinking it is a network drive, or something like that? -- 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] How to get eth0 up early in boot process
by don fisher 07 Oct '18

07 Oct '18

I am trying to use netconsole to examine some problems I am having booting certain laptops. I am running opensuse 42.3 with generic 4.18.7 kernel configured to include netconsole. After building my kernel and including the proper command (as shown below) in the linux boot string: netconsole=64001@192.168.7.60/eth0,64001@192.168.7.55/34:e6:d7:01:2a:dd I receive the following error message as shown by journalctl: sudo journalctl -b | grep netconsole Sep 24 22:01:25 dfpc60 kernel: netpoll: netconsole: local port 64001 Sep 24 22:01:25 dfpc60 kernel: netpoll: netconsole: local IPv4 address 192.168.7.60 Sep 24 22:01:25 dfpc60 kernel: netpoll: netconsole: interface 'eth0' Sep 24 22:01:25 dfpc60 kernel: netpoll: netconsole: remote port 64001 Sep 24 22:01:25 dfpc60 kernel: netpoll: netconsole: remote IPv4 address 192.168.7.55 Sep 24 22:01:25 dfpc60 kernel: netpoll: netconsole: remote ethernet address 34:e6:d7:01:2a:dd Sep 24 22:01:25 dfpc60 kernel: netpoll: netconsole: eth0 doesn't exist, aborting Sep 24 22:01:25 dfpc60 kernel: netconsole: cleaning up Sep 24 22:01:25 dfpc60 systemd-modules-load[185]: Module 'netconsole' is builtin From Google(netpoll is intended for monitoring multiple file descriptors to see if I/O is possible on any of them. It supports edge-triggered and level-triggered interfaces.) I looked at dmesg and netconsole is trying eth0: at 2.348515 sec after boot. The first other mention I see of eth0: is at 9.739663 sec. The message is: [ 9.739663] alx 0000:3c:00.0 eth0: Qualcomm Atheros AR816x/AR817x Ethernet [a4:4c:c8:5e:e0:12] which I assume is just recognition if loading the driver. From sudo journalctl -b | grep eth0: Sep 24 22:02:01 dfpc60 wicked[942]: eth0 up Wicked seems to appear about half a second after netconsole looks for eth0: Is there something I can do in systemd, the eth0: configuration, or elsewhere to get wicked to load eth0 earlier? I was a little surprised that netconsole did not go back and try again a little later.

[opensuse] XFS mount problem
by Dave Howorth 07 Oct '18

07 Oct '18

We had a very brief power-glitch last night, but it was enough to cause my PC to reboot. But the reboot didn't come up cleanly. It was complaining about not being able to mount an XFS filesystem that I use for storing recorded TV programmes. In fact mount claims 'wrong fs type': # mount -v /srv/live-tv/ mount: /srv/live-tv: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/mapper/mint_vg-live--tv_lv, missing codepage or helper program, or other error. I tried to run xfs_check but it doesn't seem to be in the repositories so I tried xfs_repair -n: # xfs_repair -n /dev/dm-3 Phase 1 - find and verify superblock... Phase 2 - using internal log - zero log... ALERT: The filesystem has valuable metadata changes in a log which is being ignored because the -n option was used. Expect spurious inconsistencies which may be resolved by first mounting the filesystem to replay the log. - scan filesystem freespace and inode maps... sb_ifree 81, counted 80 sb_fdblocks 12504226, counted 12276402 - found root inode chunk Phase 3 - for each AG... - scan (but don't clear) agi unlinked lists... - process known inodes and perform inode discovery... - agno = 0 imap claims a free inode 135 is in use, would correct imap and clear inode - agno = 1 - agno = 2 - agno = 3 - process newly discovered inodes... Phase 4 - check for duplicate blocks... - setting up duplicate extent list... - check for inodes claiming duplicate blocks... - agno = 0 - agno = 1 entry "Coronation Street Omnibus.ts" at block 0 offset 3848 in directory inode 96 references free inode 135 would clear inode number in entry at offset 3848... - agno = 3 - agno = 2 No modify flag set, skipping phase 5 Phase 6 - check inode connectivity... - traversing filesystem ... entry "Coronation Street Omnibus.ts" in directory inode 96 points to free inode 135, would junk entry bad hash table for directory inode 96 (no data entry): would rebuild - traversal finished ... - moving disconnected inodes to lost+found ... Phase 7 - verify link counts... No modify flag set, skipping filesystem flush and exiting. The mount is being tried against fstab: # grep live-tv /etc/fstab #LABEL=LiveTV /srv/live-tv xfs noatime,noacl 0 2 /dev/mint_vg/live-tv_lv /srv/live-tv xfs noatime,noacl 0 2 I normally mount this filesystem by label but I commented that out to get the system to boot and I added the /dev line as a more basic method to see if it helped, but it gives the same error. lv/pv/vgscan all report everything normal. This is Leap 15.0 I'm a bit stuck now; my XFS foo is not strong today, it seems. Can anybody suggest what my next steps should be? I'll keep googling but I hope somebody may have more informed ideas :) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] List all installed packages for a new install
by Trey Sizemore 06 Oct '18

06 Oct '18

Hi all- I'm re-installing openSUSE on a new (bigger) drive. My thought is (after backing up my home directory) to use zypper to list all installed packages to a file and then later use that file (and zypper) to re-install those packages on the new drive. Has anyone done this? What would be the zypper commands to do so? -- Cheers, Trey ---- For the judgement of mankind is as relentless to the weakness that falls short of a recognized renown, as it is jealous of the arrogance that aspires higher than its due.

[opensuse] programs in /sbin -- why aren't they in /usr/sbin?
by L A Walsh 06 Oct '18

06 Oct '18

Some of the programs in /sbin don't seem to make sense and I was wondering why they had not been moved to /usr/sbin Specifically: (part of info package): /sbin/install-info (part of rpcbind package): /sbin/pmap_set2 /sbin/rpcbind /sbin/rpcinfo There may be others, but these stood out because they require libraries in /usr/lib64 -- and it seems a bit intuitive that if a programs's libraries are in /usr/lib64 that would expect the program to be in /usr/[s]bin. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
