[opensuse] Re: [opensuse-factory] Phoronix has done some network tests windows vs a few distros (incl TW)
by nicholas cunliffe 17 Mar '18

17 Mar '18

to discuss sloppiness of tests (or at least an unwillingness to clarify test assumptions) (its a while ago, but i believe this is the outline). in 2016 he did comparisons of different distros, testing read write speed using a database. After pointing out in the comments that in fact opensuse, btrfs guides and (i think) the authors of the database recommend using nodatacow for such applications the comment was 'set upon' by michaels fanboys using lame, handy wavy arguments, saying the test had to be done 'out of the box' and that turning off nodatacow introduced 'issues of data integrity'. https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=eoy16-ws-server&num=1 would i assume phoronix tests are authoritative without investigation? - not likely. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] vncviewer and fonts
by Roger Oberholtzer 16 Mar '18

16 Mar '18

I am trying to use vncviewer from a Leap 42.3 system to connect to a Windows display. I have done this in the past. Now I am trying from a Leap 42.3 install. I get this from the vcnviewer: Warning: Cannot convert string "-*-helvetica-bold-r-*-*-16-*-*-*-*-*-*-*" to type FontStruct Warning: Unable to load any usable ISO8859 font Warning: Unable to load any usable ISO8859 font Error: Aborting: no font found It does this after accepting the password. In fact, I have many fonts installed (it's a KDE desktop). I have seen this reported over 15 years ago. But I don't see much now. And the solutions were typically to install some fonts. These vnc RPMs are installed. The vncviewer is from tightvnc x11vnc-0.9.13-18.2.x86_64 libXvnc1-1.6.0-21.1.x86_64 xorg-x11-Xvnc-1.6.0-21.1.x86_64 tightvnc-1.3.10-123.10.x86_64 These font packages are installed: xorg-x11-fonts-core-7.6-34.16.noarch xorg-x11-fonts-7.6-34.16.noarch gnu-unifont-bitmap-fonts-20080123-88.3.noarch noto-sans-fonts-20151215-4.13.noarch google-noto-fonts-doc-20151215-4.13.noarch liberation-fonts-1.07.2-6.3.noarch hack-fonts-2.020-3.3.noarch ghostscript-fonts-std-9.06-29.5.noarch Other X applications seen to run (e.g., xterm).

[opensuse] Scanner Setup

Hi, I have dug out my old scanner. A Tiny FU318D. The scanner powers up fine. It was last used with Windows 98SE in 2006 I have plugged it in and is does not show in SimpleScan scanimage -L does not find any scanners lsusb shows it as: Bus 001 Device 007: ID 0461:0340 Primax Electronics, Ltd Colorado 9600 Scanner This is the first scanner I have come across that doesn't 'Just work' in Linux.

[opensuse] Is YAST able to configure and administrate a mailrelay?
by Jonathan Sélea 15 Mar '18

15 Mar '18

Hi, I am exploring the option to set up a mail relay with SuSE/SLES. I have always done it Debian before and now I wanted to try another approach (mainly because of YAST so other people admin it too) Is it possible to set up a mail relay that does DKIM (and possible ARC) signing with YAST only? Ofc there is alot of different domains that is going to use that relay. Let me know if I am unclear! Thanks!

[opensuse] Ethernet and onboot/oncable
by Roger Oberholtzer 15 Mar '18

15 Mar '18

The configuring Ethernet ports in openSUSE, it is possible to say when the port should be configured. This is the STARTMODE= value in the port configuration file. Has there been a deliberate change in the 'onboot' mode? In previous openSUSE releases, this would cause the port to be configured when the system is booted, independent of whether there is a cable attached. If one want to require that there be a cable, STARTMODE can bet set to 'oncable'. In Leap 42,3, it seems that when one selects On Boot in YAST, STARTMODE is set to 'auto'. If there is no cable attached, the port does not get an address. It acts like 'on cable connect'. I am not running Network Manager. The ports are managed in the traditional way (or whatever fills that role these days). The network and related services are all running before anyone logs in. This is a problem in systems that boot along with other hardware. If, say, the Leap machine starts it's network before some other system, the port on Leap will not get an address. This is bad. While plugging in cable (or the remote system turning on) will cause the port to get an address, services that use that port are not restarted. For example, dhcpd will ignore ports without an address - and it will never try again until you actively restart it. Is there any way to get the previous on boot functionality so that ports with fixed address are assigned them on boot, no matter what may or may not be connected to them? -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] btrfs and deletion of large directory
by Josef Fortier 14 Mar '18

14 Mar '18

I've a server accumulating a lot of netflow data. The whole filesystem is btrfs. It's not yet full, but it's getting full enough that I've been removing some old netflow data directories. But even though the directories themselves are quite large, deleting them has no impact of reported disk usage, either at the OS level, or the level of the various btrfs filesystem commands. I've run the suse cron.weekly and cron.monthly btrfs jobs (scrub and balance). They do not help, with the same reported usage before and after jobs run. I've removed old snapshots. This also has no impact on reported usage. What sorts of trouble shooting steps would be next? Thanks. -- __________________________________________________________________________ Josef Fortier Systems Administrator fortier(a)augsburg.edu Phone: 612-330-1479 __________________________________________________________________________ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

When I try to limit results to only one list, that too is utterly disregarded. Also, there's no option in the select list to search only the body.

I am trying to make a record of my partitions on various drives in a libreoffice calc spreadsheet. Whenever I start to type something like "/dev/sda1" into a cell, as soon as I hit the 2nd forward slash, the first forward slash disappears and the font of what I just typed switches to italics. It seems like some kind of autocorrect feature that should be easily disabled, but I can't find that keystroke sequence in the autocorrect listings, as there is nothing in there that indicates a change in font style.

[opensuse] Intention to run for board.
by Simon Lees 09 Mar '18

09 Mar '18

Hi All, For those of you who don't know me my name is Simon Lees and I am announcing my intention to run for the board. About me: As you can guess from my email address I now work for SUSE, I have done so for 2 years but I have been involved in the openSUSE community for around 7 years, mostly packaging the enlightenment desktop and a few other things. I am also part of the factory review team and have contributed to a bunch of other areas including patterns etc. Vision for the project: The reasons I started using openSUSE were 1. It treated all software particularly desktops equally, 2. The reasons I started contributing to openSUSE 7ish years back were 1. basically any contribution is welcome and 2. contributing is easy. I don't have any radical new plans for the vision of the project I think its in a really good place, mostly I just want to keep helping to make the reasons I joined the project reasons for other people to join and keep working on the project. Why Vote for me: * When I see something that needs fixing i'll probably just go and fix it. * I have decent people skills and am reasonably good at helping people work through problems. * I have a good technical understanding of may parts of the project. I might have a bit more to say in coming weeks, but if you have questions feel free to bug me via email or as simotek on the freenode irc network.

[opensuse] tmpfiles.d question

Hi list, any experts for tmpfiles.d around? I have a laptop with intel ME that has a serial port. It is detected by linux (serial8250), but doesn't work because ME is disabled.

[opensuse] Grubby fingers in the boot straps
by Richmond 07 Mar '18

07 Mar '18

I seem to have broken grub. Or maybe it broke itself. I have tried to re-install it a few times with yast2 bootloader, but it is failing with "no menuentry" or I think that's what it says, it vanishes quickly. Here is the history: I installed Manjaro on a partition, /dev/sda2. Opensuse grub detects this, but it does not boot properly because Manjaro likes its own grub. So I installed Manjaro grub on /dev/sda2, and then I chainloaded it successfully from Opensuse grub. I then tried to make a chainloader menu entry in /etc/40_custom, but that didn't work so I thought nothing more of it. But today when I booted the system, opensuse grub failed with an error, then went straight to Manjaro grub. I tried to remove anything I added to /etc/40_custom, and I tried to re-install grub as I said. I also ran grub2-script-check but it does not report errors. How do I re-install grub with the default configuration? Can I do it from opensuse which I have booted from the Manjaro boot menu? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

Re: [opensuse] Moving to MariaDB Galera Cluster
by Eugen Block 07 Mar '18

07 Mar '18

Hi, have you been able to resolve your issue? I just stumbled upon your question as I need to install a new galera cluster. I have the advantage of having two new servers to install everything from scratch and just import the database dump if the cluster is up (at least that's my theory). > The main question is, witch packages do I have to remove/install to > be able to > configure the servers? > I already went to > https://software.opensuse.org/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=galera&search_devel=f… > But I got confused and didn't realize what do I have to do. > > Do I need to remove MariaDB and install a brand new package? > Please, can someone show me the right packages I have to install? > Is there any documentation on how can I achieve this working? I found this guide [1] to migrate your database to Galera, but I didn't really go through the details. I just thought this could probably be of help for you. Considering the package question, I believe you need the 10.2.13 version of mariadb (so an upgrade) and additionally install mariadb-galera, you can find that in [2]. This creates a file in /etc/my.cnf.d/50-galera.cnf containing the required wsrep (and other) config options. The repo mentioned in [2] is not the official repo, I assume you could also use the official repo for leap-15 [3], it's the same version (10.2.13), but I don't know if that is an option and if this could lead to data inconsistencies or other problems. So be careful as I did not test it! Maybe someone with more experience can also shed some light on this.

[opensuse] Permissions, systemd and automount
by Roger Oberholtzer 05 Mar '18

05 Mar '18

I am trying to use x-systemd.automount,noauto in /etc/fstab to set up automount of disks. For the most part it works fine. I am struggling with permissions. When the disk is, say, CIFS, I can add uid=roger to /etc/fstab and the files will belong to roger. This is because the file system itself does not have user ownership of individual files. Or at least the CISF driver makes it so. If I want this to work with ext4, this seems not to work as I would like. The problem is the top-level mount point. I do not seem to have any control over the permissions. So if a user inserts a disk, they cannot make any files in the top level of the disk. But that is what I need. When we were not using automount, the mount point's permissions were whatever the disk file had. They were not changed by the mount command. Autofs sets the permissions to rwx------. We really want to use autofs. If the disks are not inserted and they are in /etc/fstab, the system will not boot. Autofs solves this nicely. Any ideas on how to sort out permissions when systemd is managing autofs? I have googled, but all seems to discuss when you set up autofs yourself. I can do that. But we are trying to make this less complicated for the people who are managing the systems. -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

Here is the layout of the drive: tribetrekDell:/ # fdisk -l Disk /dev/sda: 447.1 GiB, 480103981056 bytes, 937703088 sectors Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disklabel type: gpt Disk identifier: 2C1BF30F-7D76-4D8E-A2CB-FD86115234B3 Device Start End Sectors Size Type /dev/sda1 2048 411647 409600 200M EFI System /dev/sda2 411648 444415 32768 16M Microsoft reserved /dev/sda3 444416 133564415 133120000 63.5G Microsoft basic data /dev/sda4 935960576 937701375 1740800 850M Windows recovery environment /dev/sda5 133564416 146245631 12681216 6G Linux swap /dev/sda6 146245632 193349631 47104000 22.5G Linux filesystem /dev/sda7 193349632 240453631 47104000 22.5G Linux filesystem /dev/sda8 240453632 935960575 695506944 331.7G Linux filesystem Partition table entries are not in disk order. I have 2 root drives, both 22.5G, for the purpose of when the time comes to upgrade, having the previous version backed up in order to be able to boot into my system if the upgrade fails, or I have some other kind of major failure. It has saved my back many times. So, I want to keep the 22.5G drives equally sized, and I don't want to reduce the "home" partition of 331.7G. I noticed that /dev/sda3 for windows is only using about 45G on it. Since I hardly ever use windows, I was thinking of trying to take 14G off of that drive, split it into 2 partitions, and somehow append those extra 7G to each of the root drives in order to give my root more room. Is that something that is even possible? Does anyone have better recommendations? Like splitting off some of the directories from my root drive that take up a lot of memory, and moving them to the new partitions, and then just symlinking to those partitions in order to continue running? I don't really know the best course of action here. Any help is greatly appreciated. -- George Box: 42.3 | KDE Plasma 5.8 | AMD Phenom IIX4 | 64 | 32GB Laptop #1: 42.3 | Gnome 3.20 | AMD FX 7TH GEN | 64 | 32GB Laptop #2: 42.3 | Gnome 3.20 | 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] Display artifacts in Leap 42.3, on oldish laptop with Intel Video
by Carlos E. R. 04 Mar '18

04 Mar '18

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hi, I just upgraded my laptop to Leap 42.3 from 42.2 (offline upgrade aka dvd method), and I see artifacts on the display: areas that do not redraw, typically the menu area of a window. Some time whole windows that take seconds to redraw after switching the workarea. Gkrelmm has zones that are unreadable for long time, even if I put another window on top to try force a redraw (the CPU_0 panel, for instance, is gargabe). This instant, the whole Thunderbird went unreadable as I switched worskpace (I'm typing at Alpine). I'm not happy. minas-tirith:~ # hwinfo --display 08: PCI 02.0: 0300 VGA compatible controller (VGA) [Created at pci.378] Unique ID: _Znp.rCqQQ9NkN2D SysFS ID: /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0 SysFS BusID: 0000:00:02.0 Hardware Class: graphics card Model: "Intel Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller" Vendor: pci 0x8086 "Intel Corporation" Device: pci 0x2a42 "Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller" SubVendor: pci 0x103c "Hewlett-Packard Company" SubDevice: pci 0x3069 Revision: 0x07 Driver: "i915" Driver Modules: "i915" Memory Range: 0xd0000000-0xd03fffff (rw,non-prefetchable) Memory Range: 0xc0000000-0xcfffffff (ro,non-prefetchable) I/O Ports: 0x4110-0x4117 (rw) IRQ: 26 (8103 events) I/O Ports: 0x3c0-0x3df (rw) Module Alias: "pci:v00008086d00002A42sv0000103Csd00003069bc03sc00i00" Driver Info #0: Driver Status: i915 is active Driver Activation Cmd: "modprobe i915" Config Status: cfg=no, avail=yes, need=no, active=unknown 09: PCI 02.1: 0380 Display controller [Created at pci.378] Unique ID: ruGf.MfB3K+fOff2 SysFS ID: /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.1 SysFS BusID: 0000:00:02.1 Hardware Class: graphics card Model: "Intel Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller" Vendor: pci 0x8086 "Intel Corporation" Device: pci 0x2a43 "Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller" SubVendor: pci 0x103c "Hewlett-Packard Company" SubDevice: pci 0x3069 Revision: 0x07 Memory Range: 0xd2400000-0xd24fffff (rw,non-prefetchable) Module Alias: "pci:v00008086d00002A43sv0000103Csd00003069bc03sc80i00" Config Status: cfg=no, avail=yes, need=no, active=unknown Primary display adapter: #8 minas-tirith:~ # - -- Cheers Carlos E.

[opensuse] Leap 42.3 / Firefox 58 can't play some youtube videos
by Andrei V 03 Mar '18

03 Mar '18

Hi ! I have continuous problem with Leap 42.3 / Firefox 58 can't play some youtube videos - "Your browser does not currently recognize any of the video formats available". Some effect with both SUSE builds and bins from Mozilla site. This tool https://www.youtube.com/html5 Detects H264 as unsupported format. Googling lead to this link https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1146825 which suggested this solution. https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-7991240.html?sid=38ed7080bf31ac898795… However, I don't have any third-party packages which install its own copy of libavcodec.so.57 rpm -qf /usr/lib64/libavcodec.so.57 libavcodec57-3.4.2-10.1.x86_64 (from openSUSE:Leap:42.3:Update) Anyone have any idea how to solve this problem? Thanks in advance. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
