You may think so, and I do, but many people do not agree. In fact, I always install with a separate "/home" partition in order to be able to do just that: format "/" during fresh install if/when needed leaving "/home" with all my valuable data intact. I almost always upgrade instead, but if the upgrade crashes beyond repair, it is nice to have the alternative. > Like always, anyone ignoring this advice will at least be notified in > the partitioning screen of the installer what is happening to their > existing partitions before anything happens.

[opensuse] Can't mount NFS
by Scott Simpson 20 Nov '18

20 Nov '18

OpenSUSE Tumbleweed 20181116 My NFS recently stopped working and I don't know why. I haven't changed anything. Here is what happens when I try a local mount (I'm on madhatter 192.168.2.1): root@madhatter:~# exportfs /home 192.168.0.0/255.255.0.0 /software 192.168.0.0/255.255.0.0 /multimedia 192.168.0.0/255.255.0.0 root@madhatter:~# mount 192.168.2.1:/home/mounts/build /mnt mount.nfs: requested NFS version or transport protocol is not supported root@madhatter:~# In the output of journalctl -f I get: Nov 18 22:44:07 madhatter rpc.gssd[948]: ERROR: can't open nfs/clnt1b/info: Invalid argument Nov 18 22:44:07 madhatter rpc.gssd[948]: ERROR: failed to parse nfs/clnt1b/info Nov 18 22:44:07 madhatter rpc.gssd[948]: ERROR: can't openat nfs/clnt1b: No such file or directory Nov 18 22:44:07 madhatter rpc.gssd[948]: ERROR: can't openat nfs/clnt1b: No such file or directory What is this? I do have Kerberos set up but I'm just trying to do a mount without Kerberos. I'm not sure what this rpc.gssd process is or whether it is screwing things up. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] long shot - is anyone familiar with CMS made simple?
by Per Jessen 20 Nov '18

Apologies for being off-topic - I have a hosting customer who wants his website hosted with us. It was made by somebody else, and they are now unwilling to help with debugging a CMS Made Simple problem - they would prefer hosting locally on their own servers.

[opensuse] Install ARM Jeos onto ARM Cortex-A53(Amlogic S912) based android TV box
by Sean Rima 20 Nov '18

20 Nov '18

I inherited two of these and am wondering if anyone here has installed the aarch jeos onto one of them. Have searched but seems to be mainly an embedded version of LibreElec . I realise they may brick but to be honest, I don't watch tv and have no other use for them. Thinking of making them into Boinc machines Sean -- No man is truly married until he understands every word his wife is NOT saying. Renvyle Weather http://my.meteoware.com/renvyle/

[opensuse] converting pdf file to an image containing pdf file
by Istvan Gabor 19 Nov '18

19 Nov '18

Hello: I have a normal pdf file (with text and embedded fonts) that I would like to convert to a pdf file which has all the pages as embedded images. In other words I want to imitate the process of printing the pdf out to paper sheets and then scanning the printed pages to a pdf file. I guess this should be doable using the command line, but which program? ghostscipt or imagemagick etc, and how to do it exactly? Thanks in advance, Istvan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] trouble with ssh connecting
by George from the tribe 18 Nov '18

18 Nov '18

I use ssh to sync my 2 laptops. I have all my keys in place, so it normally connects without a problem or having to enter a password. Until recently it worked fine, but now here is what I am dealing with. On laptop #1, I connect to laptop #2 with the following: ssh -X george(a)192.168.1.169 It connects fine without any trouble. On laptop #2 I connect to #1 with the following ssh -X george(a)192.168.1.180 I can connect to myself from laptop #1 to laptop #1 by running the same command ssh -X george(a)192.168.1.180, and it works no problem. So I think the port is open on that computer. Until recently this had no problem connecting. Now it just hangs. No error given, it just sits there. Maybe after 5 or 10 minutes it will say the request timed out, but sometimes it doesn't do anything except sit there until I hit ctrl-c to break the request. I can ping the other computer no problem, but cannot connect by ssh. Port 22 is open according to SuSEfirewall2 -- 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] ssh port forwarding question
by Carlos E. R. 18 Nov '18

18 Nov '18

Hi, on my laptop I use a script that launches several lines like this to connect to my home server: exec ssh -L 127.0.0.1:60000:192.168.X.Y:80 -N user@host & It works fine. The problem is killing that connection. What I do is "killall ssh", but perhaps there is another way I have not thought about? I mean, kill that ssh session and not another? -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from openSUSE 15.0 (Legolas))

[opensuse] Fixing Network Woes After Upgrade SuSE Linux Leap 42.3 -> 15.0
by Andrei Verovski 16 Nov '18

16 Nov '18

Hi, Upgrade 42.3 -> 15.0 again brought me few troubles. Network was up and and down in endless cycle. Quick check revealed, that networking was switched to wicked, which conflicted with Gnome/MATE NetworkManager applet (latter tried to configure networking on its own in a timed interval). Removing "NetworkManager-applet" fixed this problem. Hopefully will be useful for someone.
