[opensuse] Transferring LVM
by suse＠a-domani.nl 11 Apr '18

11 Apr '18

Hi, Coming week, I'll try to transfer to a more recent virtualisation server and install it with more up-to-date platform (12.3 => 42.3) My XEN-clients (SLES) are all stored in LVM's What would be the most efficiant way to transfer them from one piece of iron to another? After I create new LVM's, can I 'dd' them over the network? from node1:/dev/data/minoss-servers ==> node2:/dev/data/minoss-servers Hans -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Doevecot Imap Really Slow with Recent Updates
by Charles Philip Chan 10 Apr '18

10 Apr '18

Hello all: There seem to be a permission problem with Dovecot in recent updates that leads to really slow operations. This is what I see in the journal log: ,---- | Apr 10 01:19:11 karnak dovecot[2406]: master: Fatal: execv(/usr/lib/dovecot/stats) failed: Permission denied | Apr 10 01:19:11 karnak dovecot[1925]: master: Error: service(stats): command startup failed, throttling for 60 secs | Apr 10 01:19:11 karnak dovecot[2406]: stats: Fatal: master: service(stats): child 14755 returned error 84 (exec() failed) `---- The permissions for stat seems to be OK: ,---- | -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 27240 Mar 29 07:24 /usr/lib/dovecot/stats `---- Have anyone else experienced this and is there a quick fix? Thanks. Charles

[opensuse] zypper addrepo - http:// vs. https://
by Per Jessen 10 Apr '18

10 Apr '18

I'm sure someone has a quick explanation: a) zypper addrepo 'https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Virtualization:containers/openSU…' This fails: Download (curl) error for 'https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Virtualization:containers/openSU…': Error code: Bad URL Error message: Protocol http not supported or disabled in libcurl b) zypper addrepo 'https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Virtualization:/containers/openS…' Works fine. (notice the extra slash between 'Virtualization:' and 'container'. c) zypper addrepo 'http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Virtualization:containers/openSUS…' d) zypper addrepo 'http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Virtualization:/containers/openSU…' Both work fine. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (9.1°C) http://www.cloudsuisse.com/ - your owncloud, hosted in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] File/folder permissions that does not make sense to me!
by Marc Chamberlin 09 Apr '18

09 Apr '18

I wonder if some kind guru could explain this logic to me or direct me to an appropriate users group... I have a mixed SOHO network in my home with both Linux and Windoz systems running on it. I use autofs to automount Windows folders on my Linux systems and for the most part I don't have any issues. But one thing that has been perplexing me is why I could not copy files from say my Linux laptop to my Windows system at the C:/Users/marc/Documents folder. (I automount C: using autofs under /mnt/samba/windowscomputername/C so I can have access to the entire drive from my laptop) What really perplexed me was that I could copy files to any subfolder under C:/Users/marc/Documents such as to C:/Users/marc/Documents/tmp/newfile. My instincts told me there had to be some sort of permission problem that I had to resolve on the Windows system. So I tried everything I could think of to relax the permissions so that anyone and everyone could access the Documents folder, but to no joy. It finally occurred to me to try and take a look at it from the Linux side, so using Dolphin I examined the permissions of the Documents folder and sure enough Dolphin was reporting that I only had read permissions on the Documents folder. So on a lark I decided to try and change the permissions via Dolphin (chmod also behaved the same way) to give me read/write permissions and I will be damned if that didn't work! But I will be twitched if I can understand why in the world that worked and why I have to give myself permission to write to the Documents folder on a Windows system, from/on the Linux system side also! Shouldn't file permissions and access be strictly governed by the system that owns the files and folders? Why does a Linux system user have to give himself/herself permissions in order to write to files on a different system? This is effectively saying that in order to write to a file system on another computer I have to give myself permission to do so on BOTH systems! In other words, it wasn't Windows that was blocking me from writing to the Windows file system from my Linux laptop, it apparently was Linux itself! Is there some weird magic about Documents folders on Windows systems? Doesn't make any sense to me... Just to be certain, I took a look at the folder permissions, under Windows, both before and after making the permission change on the Linux system, and I could not see any changes so this appears to be strictly a Linux side permissions issue...

[opensuse] Please show your output from "ls -l /bin/vim"

What boffoness is this!? $ whereis -b vi vim vi: /usr/bin/vi /bin/vi vim: /usr/bin/vim /bin/vim /usr/share/vim $ ll /usr/bin/vim /bin/vim /usr/bin/vi /bin/vi lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Mar 24 02:10 /bin/vi -> vim -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2363952 Jul 2 2017 /bin/vim lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 Mar 24 02:10 /usr/bin/vi -> /bin/vim lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 Mar 24 02:10 /usr/bin/vim -> /bin/vim In short, everything is a symlink to /bin/vim, but /bin/vim doesn't have execute permissions. Why/How can this be? Does anyone else have this utter strangeness? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] adding a static route
by ken 09 Apr '18

09 Apr '18

My recent install figured out the basic networking: $ route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 0.0.0.0 192.168.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG 100 0 0 eth0 192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 100 0 0 eth0 But I also need a static route to another (local) network. I can do this (old school) with: route add -net 10.10.0.0/16 gw 192.168.0.98 eth0 and then I have: $ route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 0.0.0.0 192.168.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG 100 0 0 eth0 10.10.0.0 192.168.0.98 255.255.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 100 0 0 eth0 But how do I do this in 24.3? I searched duck-duck, tried what the links there suggested... none of that worked. Also went into yast -> Network Services -> Network Settings, turned on Wicked, went to Routes, typed in the data, but was given a long error message: it didn't like my data. Is there a config file I can enter data into instead?

[opensuse] sudo /etc/sudoers.d/* files being ignored?

Hi, the following works on all (Leap 42.3 and Leap 15.1) installations, but not on a Leap 42.2 (don't know if version causing the problem). sudo doesn't seem to respect files in /etc/sudoers.d/ # ssh -t sysupdateuser(a)422machine.swabian.net 'sudo zypper ref' We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System Administrator.

[opensuse] Understanding Linux filesystems: ext4 and beyond (link to article)
by Carlos E. R. 07 Apr '18

07 Apr '18

*Understanding Linux filesystems: ext4 and beyond* Learn the history of ext4, including what's different from ext3 and the other filesystems that came before it. <https://opensource.com/article/18/4/ext4-filesystem> «The majority of modern Linux distributions default to the ext4 filesystem, just as previous Linux distributions defaulted to ext3, ext2, and—if you go back far enough—ext.» «If you're new to Linux—or to filesystems—you might wonder what ext4 brings to the table that ext3 didn't. You might also wonder whether ext4 is still in active development at all, given the flurries of news coverage of alternate filesystems such as btrfs, xfs, and zfs.» «We can't cover everything about filesystems in a single article, but we'll try to bring you up to speed on the history of Linux's default filesystem, where it stands, and what to look forward to.» (continues on the link) -- Cheers/Saludos Carlos E.

[opensuse] Upgrade Leap 42.3 -> 15.0 Disaster
by Andrei Verovski 07 Apr '18

07 Apr '18

Hi, I have just upgraded 2 pcs with Leap 42.3 to 15.0, and both have problem with networking. 1) PC #1, Linux workstation, networking broke (single static IP ethernet), redefined in yast, now working. Teamviewer 12 stopped working, hanging for forever on launching GUI. Reinstall don’t help. 2) PC #2, Linux KVM host with 10 ethernet interfaces and 2 VyOS router QEMU instances. 1 static local IP 192.168.0.172, for management. 7 ethernet interfaces enslaved for bridges, used by VyOS routers. eth0 - 192.168.0.172 Bridges: eth2 - brltc1, eth3 - brbtc1, eth4 - brdmz, eth5 - brint eth6 - br_eth6, eth7 - br_eth7, eth8 - br_eth8 eth1, eth9 - unused In Yast (screenshot can’t be attached for mailing), looks like everything is OK, yet it is not. Networking messed up completely. Some interfaces, incl. eth0, are simply lost by Wicked. Both firewalld and SuSEfirewalll rpms are removed from the system. BTW, I assume SuSEfirewalll should be marked as conflicting with firewalld. Is there any way to fix this, or I should wipe out entire OS and install back to 42.03 ? Thanks in advance for any help.

[opensuse] Command line webpin gives 404 -- it is just dead for 42.3?
by David C. Rankin 06 Apr '18

Title says it all, Installed webpin, hacked the distro.version to add 42.3 (like I've had to do since 11.0), and while it was working great on 42.2, I get a 404 response when I run it from 42.3. So is it just dead or are we having index issue? -- David C.
