[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

What am I missing? I am using the 'additional hosts' mechanism of DNSMasq to block adverts Only DNSmasq doens't seem to be diing the job. I have the 'additional hosts' defined in the /etc/dnsmasq.conf # grep -C 2 addn /etc/dnsmasq.conf # or if you want it to read another file, as well as /etc/hosts, use # this. addn-hosts=/etc/dnsmasq.d/block.hosts.txt I have a goddamnawful advert from a site defined there, along with a lot of ther stuff # grep server-13-33-160-47.ord50.r.cloudfront.net /etc/dnsmasq.d/block.hosts.txt 127.0.0.1 server-13-33-160-47.ord50.r.cloudfront.net I restart dnsmasq and it confirms that it read that file # systemctl status dnsmasq.service * dnsmasq.service - DNS caching server.

[opensuse] list archive searching fubar
by Felix Miata 14 Mar '18

14 Mar '18

Does anyone know a way to search the mailing list archives where the search criteria get obeyed? Whenever I try to search by date range, first using the search box on e.g. https://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/ and then opening the advanced search link, the date range I provide is utterly disregarded. 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. Yesterday or the day before there was a post I now want to follow up to, but I already deleted it when it arrived, and have no idea which thread or list it was on. Subject matter in body I seek is IIRC lack of current maintainer for opensuse.org. -- "Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom. Whatever else you get, get wisdom."

[opensuse] text changes in libreoffice calc
by George from the tribe 11 Mar '18

11 Mar '18

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. Anyone else ever notice this? -- 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] 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
by Peter Suetterlin 07 Mar '18

07 Mar '18

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. Bad thing is, anything trying to access it runs into a 30s timeout :(( So I try to remove access to it using tmpfiles.d: woodstock:~ # cat /etc/tmpfiles.d/block_AMT_ttyS0.conf #Type Path Mode UID GID Age Argument z /dev/ttyS0 0600 - - - - However, after boot I still have woodstock:~ # l /dev/ttyS0 crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 4, 64 Mar 6 10:18 /dev/ttyS0 Is 'z' the wrong command? According to the manpage it should change modes of existing files/directories, and the serial module is loaded before systemd starts the tmpfiles scripts. Any ideas why it's not working? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[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
