[opensuse] other backup strategy with rsync
by jdd＠dodin.org 11 May '18

11 May '18

Hello, I need some hints around the rsync use. I'm very concerned by backup/archives. I already have viable archive system for important data (redundant) and clonezilla o my main disk. But all this needs manual work, and takes some time (max one hour), where the computer is either offline or not really usable. So it's done randomly at too long intervals in my feeling. I also have a very cheap unused online server with 2Tb data, to be related with the 500Gb size of my main disk. So I want to use this server as backup. For example an hourly backup, somewhat incremental, where I could find a copy of whatever file I may have deleted since the last real backup/archive. what may be the rsync syntax to a cron job to backup root and /home like this? rsync or any other simple tool. date can be limited to, say, three month in the past, and all what is older removed if no more present 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

[opensuse] 15.0 won't mount EFI System sdb1 partition
by Felix Miata 11 May '18

11 May '18

This M.2 device I just bought turned out to be used instead of new as expected. So, I wanted to see what's on it. Booted normally to a /dev/sda filesystem, trying to mount -t vfat or -t auto just gives a generic error "wrong fstype, bad option, bad superblock, blah blah". -t auto worked just fine for NTFS sdb3. What's the secret to examining an EFI System partition when the one used for booting is already on /boot/efi/? Man mount doesn't seem to make any mention of an EFI System partition. -- "Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom. Whatever else you get, get wisdom."

42.3, recently installed FF 45.x plays online videos from www.doctoroz.com, but 52 plays no audio, complaining I "may" need to install pulseaudio. gstreamer1, libdvdcss2, libpulse0 and pulseaudio are installed.

[opensuse] sox with mp3 support
by David T-G 10 May '18

10 May '18

Hi, all -- I just tripped over "no handler for file extension `mp3'" in the stock SoX v14.4.2 on Leap 42.d. Bummer. It never occurred to me that it wouldn't be there because I've been using 14.4.0 (and probably earlier) on KNOPPIX forever. Is there an easy way to add it and/or is there an mp3-enabled SuSE RPM instead?

[opensuse] OpenSUSE Dell PowerEdge 1900 and SAS1068
by Rejaine Monteiro 10 May '18

10 May '18

Hello guys. I'm trying to install OpenSuSE on an old Dell PowerEdge 1900 server with SAS1068 controller and 4 disks of 285GB each. The installation runs normally, however after the reboot, the operating system is not found (does not recognize the boot partition) At first I tried to create two mirror type arrays (2 disks per array). As it did not work, I then created two stripping arrays and lastly I tried to install it with no defined array, but none of the alternatives worked (no booting after OS installation). Any tips? -- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] How convert a Wmware Player machine into a VirtualBox virtual machine?
by Carlos E. R. 10 May '18

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, Maybe I understood wrong, but I thought that Virtualbox could load directly vmware virtual machines. But it does not seem to be so.

[opensuse] How to never check for updates?
by 712＠vivaldi.net 09 May '18

09 May '18

Hello, I'm new to the list and have just installed Leap 42.3 64bit with GNOME 3.20.2 on a Lenovo laptop. The laptop is intended for use in remote areas with low internet bandwidth. In order to reduce internet traffic as much as possible, I would like to prevent the system from checking for updates altogether when it's online in low-bandwidth areas. However, - I can't find the option to never check for updates in YaST2 > Online Update Configuration. - GNOME Software Updater configuration as described in Start-Up Guide, par. 9.4.3 Configuring the GNOME Software Updater... https://doc.opensuse.org/documentation/leap/startup/single-html/book.opensu… ...is not available on my system ("Software Settings" in the Settings app > All Settings isn't present.) What would be your preferred strategy to accomplish "never check for updates"? Hope you can help. Many thanks in advance.
