[opensuse] list of users of primary group
by Alex Naumov 15 Feb '18

15 Feb '18

Hey, can someone tell me how to get users list of some primary group. For example, I know only the name of this group: users. This is primary group and I can see it in id(1) output. How to get list of users who has the same prrmary group? Without needing to parse files. getent(1) and id(1) can do it, but it works contrariwise: it returns name of primary group (by giving user name). Thanks for info!

Re: [opensuse] Ancient History

While we are going down this rabbit hole, I have a complete TI 99/4a system with tape reader, 5" floppies and expansion cabinets (2) and some of the rom software: DOD, Calc, etc plus manuals. Been trying to find it a new home. Need to find a history buff or museum or something. Ancient History is the thread, hope I'm not hijacking.

[opensuse] openSUSE on OpenVZ or Virtuozzo
by Bjoern Voigt 14 Feb '18

14 Feb '18

Some years ago some hosters offered openSUSE vServers based on the Virtuozzo virtualization platform. Now other distributions like Ubuntu LTS, Debian or CentOS are offered by such hosters. Even if someone tries to use openSUSE vServers for smaller setups based on Virtuozzo or the free OpenVZ project, this is not easy, because nobody created openSUSE templates more recent than openSUSE 13.2: https://help.virtuozzo.com/customer/en/portal/articles/2509591 https://openvz.org/Download/template/precreated Does anyone know the reasons for this development?

[opensuse] grub2 won't show me the menu..
by Peter Suetterlin 14 Feb '18

14 Feb '18

Hi list, (I'm running TW, but I assume the issue is more general) After some issues with the latest update, I wanted to boot the previous kernel to see if that helps. /etc/default/grub is set to GRUB_DEFAULT=saved GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0 GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true GRUB_TIMEOUT=0 As there is only on main OS on anyhow. OK, so press SHIFT during boot and ..... nothing, it just boots the default entry without even showing the menu. Also tried 't' (which is sometimes requested to press, too). No luck either, so I eventually gave up. So I changed the two timeout values to 2, and ran the grub2-mkconfig program. It still doesn't show the menu and just boots the default entry! I start getting quite pissed, TBH. OK, change the default boot entry or use grub2-once. But to what!? There are 31 possible commands listed if you type grub2-<TAB><TAB> NONE of them seems to be useful to provide the boot numbers from the menu. Nor does the manpage of programs that need this number as input give you a clue where to get the right number from. Why is SHIFT not working? Why does it ignore TIMEOUT settings? Why are manpages close to useless? What kind of **** is this? (Sorry for bad words, it's the weakest I could find) OK, somewhat cooled down, I'll try googling a bit more. But if someone already knows (some of) the answers.... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Get PID of a process
by Carlos E. R. 13 Feb '18

13 Feb '18

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, Is it possible to get the PID of the previous command launched and finished? Example: fetchmail .... echo "Posible PID of fetchmail was: $!" Well, the value I get I know it was not the PID. The documentation says that "$!" gets the PID of the previously backgrounded process, so it is not what I want. - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.

[opensuse] How to add entry to grub with separate /boot partition?
by Kaigue7 12 Feb '18

12 Feb '18

Hi, I have three OSs on /dev/nvme0n1, TW with a separate /boot partition, a Leap 15 installation and a Windows installation. After updating Leap 15 grub can't find TW anymore. os-prober does not work (only finds Windows installation). What do I have to do in order to add TW back to the grub menu? Thanks. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] feh & jpegtran - what is broken?
by Dave Howorth 12 Feb '18

12 Feb '18

I sometimes use 'feh' to browse images. I used it today but when I tried to rotate a picture (File/Edit in Place/Rotate 90 CW) the rotate didn't happen and I got a useful error message in the command terminal: $ feh WARNING: lossless rotate: Is 'jpegtran' installed? Failed to exec: No such file or directory feh WARNING: lossless rotate: Got exitcode 1 from jpegtran. Commandline was: jpegtran -copy all -rotate 90 -outfile P1020918.JPG P1020918.JPG This is on 42.3. The last time I used rotate was on 42.2 and I'm fairly sure it worked there. The current version of feh is 2.18.3-7.1-x86_64 from openSUSE-Leap-42.3-Oss. YaST doesn't show me any results when I search for jpegtran. rpmfind OTOH finds libjpeg-turbo-1.5.3-42.1 and says it contains jpegtran. And sure enough after I install libjpeg-turbo, rotation works in feh. But YaST still doesn't return any results for jpegtran. Something's clearly broken, but what? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] raid 1 with btrfs
by jdd＠dodin.org 11 Feb '18

11 Feb '18

I said: * one ssd (450Gb) for main disk (30GB system, btrfs, 380GB data, xfs) I want to add some explanation. When I speak of "data" in the line above, I mean user data (home, for example), not data in the BTRFS meaning. I can manage to take some time to recover user data in case of crash. But if BTRFS/RAID have to be useful, I need a booting computer. If the crash is not that of the disk but the computer itself, I may not be able to rebuild a similar hardware, so the question: is the BTRFS raid 1 mirror single disk readable (better bootable) on an other computer? mdamdm disk are not, not without a small but non obvious change thanks jdd -- http://dodin.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
