[opensuse] What is the best practice to install opensuse Leap 42.3 on a SSD with EXT4?
by stakanov 28 Feb '18

28 Feb '18

The system: non(!) UEFI, normal BIOS, AMD video and processor. The SSD is an OWC with 60 GB entirely dedicated to the OS, set as first system disk. The /home is separate on a different disc. So it is about /boot or not /boot? The system will host only(!) Linux, no other OS. Question is, were to put best the boot loader, to minimize problems in the future updates / upgrades. My choice for file system on that machine is EXT4 no encrypted. Mainboard is set to AHCI and running with SATA6.

[opensuse] lvm on a drbd device ?
by Per Jessen 27 Feb '18

27 Feb '18

I need a second pair of eyes. Or a third or a fourth. I am working on a drbd test setup. Two machines, each has a 2Tb disk, 3 partitions (root, swap, drbd). drbd will eventually be controlled by pacemaker, for now I am just starting and stopping manually. I had drbd working fine, but then I created an lvm PV on /dev/drbd1 and carved out a 10Gb LV. When I boot up either of the two systems, I see a PV: office36:~ # pvdisplay WARNING: Device for PV k2i0DX-Gsao-z8pt-zLDD-Iv4b-qkq1-gGxdoW not found or rejected by a filter. WARNING: Device for PV k2i0DX-Gsao-z8pt-zLDD-Iv4b-qkq1-gGxdoW not found or rejected by a filter. --- Physical volume --- PV Name unknown device VG Name Grp1 PV Size 1.77 TiB / not usable 3.52 MiB Allocatable yes PE Size 4.00 MiB Total PE 463093 Free PE 460533 Allocated PE 2560 PV UUID k2i0DX-Gsao-z8pt-zLDD-Iv4b-qkq1-gGxdoW At this point drbd is not yet running, so there is no /dev/drbd1. I guess lvm start-up sort of gleans the above from /dev/sda3, the drbd partition. I can't start drbd either - office36:~ # drbdadm up drbddemo open(/dev/sda3) failed: Device or resource busy Operation canceled. Command 'drbdmeta 1 v09 /dev/sda3 internal apply-al' terminated with exit code 20 So something is using /dev/sda3 (my drbd partition), but what? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (-8.8°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

Honestly, from my perspective, if I'm going to test out a server OS build, I'm going to have a specific use-case in mind. I want to build my VM with a specific subset of packages, and not all the extra "bloat" that comes along with a usual live image, like a GUI. So I'm not really sure where the idea of a live server OS image fits into the grander picture? I could see SLED being useful with a live image, maybe, possibly...but not SLES. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

I would say we should show the numbers, just to show off. Show how we have built a vibrant, active community. Great marketing story.

Well, what does go on in openQA? :-) For instance, how many test cases were contributed by non-SUSE volunteers?

[opensuse] Leap 42.3, VCN, Firefox -> VNC session closes
by Tom Kacvinsky 23 Feb '18

23 Feb '18

I have noted a weird issue where I can VNC into a Leap 42.3 box, but when I fire up Firefox and go to a certain page (for the iLO on one of the servers I work with), the VNC session closes. the interesting this is this does not happen with chromium, at least I haven't it happen so far. With Firefox, the problem is pretty reproducible. Does anyone know which logs I should look at to see why VNC is disconnecting this way?

Support is for-a-fee. In the past, I am certain I have downloaded SLES to check it out. In my business, I have just never been convinced of the business case in the per-cpu or per-machine support fees.

Most definitely. The steady stream of patches flowing into Leap has made it very much a rolling distro. Those are virtually all coming from SLES, (much?) less so from openSUSE contributors. Bugreports on topics that violate SUSE's SLES support commitments are often given more attention than others. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (-1.4°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free dynamic DNS, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] kernel dmesg output on virtual terminals
by Peter Suetterlin 22 Feb '18

22 Feb '18

Hi list, on our server, the dmesg kernel output is printed to all virtual terminals. The machine is Leap 42.3 (just dup-ed from 42.2). The problem already existed with 42.2, and ISTR that it started when I removed plymouth from the system (it's a server, most of the time even without connected monitor). Could that be the case? And what to do against it? I know here's more people around with disabled plymouth. Do you also suffer this issue? Any suggestions what to look for? Google mostly points me to 10-year old 'solutions' involving syslog.conf :( -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
