by Daniel Spannbauer 03 Dec '18

03 Dec '18

Hello, Did anyone configure a system to use a nfs root? If yes, how? I tried to build a initrd for nfsroot with dracut, but it alwys searches for a local root device at startup.

I have my own local database for the wtf program (bsd-games rpm), in /usr/share/misc/acronyms.local: $NetBSD: acronyms.local,v 1.00 2015/06/15 QRE que rayos es FIM foot in mouth COC code of conduct SPoF single point of failure TLA Recursive acronym for a Three-Letter Acronym.

This worked in the past, but doesn't work now. On 2015⁽¹⁾ the program (a shell script) had: acronyms=${ACRONYMDB:-`ls /usr/share/misc/acronyms*`} Now it has: acronyms=${ACRONYMDB:-/usr/share/misc/acronyms} which breaks it. I tried adding the asterisk again, but then it fails: cer@Telcontar:~> wtf RTHM /usr/bin/wtf: line 45: [: too many arguments /usr/bin/wtf: line 54: /usr/share/misc/acronyms*: No such file or directory Gee...

[opensuse] FTP to a box
by stakanov 02 Dec '18

02 Dec '18

Hi, I wish to ftp "within the first seconds of boot" of a fritzbox router in order to check for the hw revision. Idea is, that, since EOL, a flash with openwrt is indicated and could revive the box. I am on leap15, which ftp program would allow this in the most appropriate and easy way? I guess it would be good to switch of the firewall or to use "trusted" zone for the eth when I do it. Did anybody do this in the past and could give some hint? Thank you. _________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________ Ihre E-Mail-Postf�cher sicher & zentral an einem Ort.

[opensuse] 42.3: KDE on-screen clock 2 hours off
by Mikhail Ramendik 02 Dec '18

02 Dec '18

Hello, I have an OpenSUSE 42.3 system. now fully updated with zypper up. Network time sync is enabled. The timezone is Dublin. which should be GMT. If I open a Konsole window and run "date", I get the correct time (now 13:50 GMT) But the clock in the system tray is off by 2 hours, showing 11:50! I have right-clicked the clock and selected "Digital Clock Settings" and the timezone is correct, Dublin. I tried adding a Moscow rime zone, now on mouseover I get "GMT 11:50 MSK 14:50", even though actually it's GMT 13:50 MSK 16:50 - and the GMT in the command line is correct! How can I fix this?

[opensuse] Copying a home dir from one PC to another
by Liam Proven 01 Dec '18

01 Dec '18

I have a new desktop. \o/ I want to copy my home directory -- all of it -- from my old one to my new one. They're on the same LAN. I do not have write access to a local fileserver, though. So what's the best way? I don't really want to do it over ssh, because there's no need for encryption -- it's pointless overhead. Old machine runs Tumbleweed. New one has Tumbleweed, Leap 15 and Win10. Neither is a server for anything at all. -- Liam Proven - Technical Writer, SUSE Linux s.r.o.
