But there's a bunch of things I get regularly where at some point in the past I have clicked the Preferences above the message and opted to explicitly allow remote content from whatever domain or address. The last few days, this is continually forgotten, I have to do it for every message even if the content is from the same origin. > > gumb > As you can see, I posted the same question when you did. The problem exists in both the recent 52.8063.1 update and the updated 52.8-1.1. Can't say how many versions back this goes, I just migrated my mail to T'bird a couple weeks ago. --dg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] History repeats itself: disk cache
by Roger Oberholtzer 23 May '18

23 May '18

A couple of years ago I had a problem where a program was streaming data to a file. Unfortunately, the OS cached the contents in RAM and only dealt with it occasionally. The problem was that this would cause periodic delays of a long time while the cache was dealt with. Write calls would have to wait until this task was completed. See the following for the original discussion: https://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2013-06/msg00069.html The solution that worked was to have something like the following running: while [ 1 ]; do sync; echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches; sleep 60; done & This really did solve the problem. We have now updated the OS for this system to Leap 42.3. It does not seem that this is having the same effect. One difference I see is that the sync command seems to take a very long time. Like over a minute each time. The fwrite() calls change from taking 1 msec to write a buffer (which is actually cached in ram by the kernel fs driver until later), to 20 secs or a minute. While we do buffer data, these long write delays are a problem. I have looked to see if there is anything different about /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches since we had originally used it. I think it was openSUSE 13.1 where we last saw that it seemed to be working as expected. Anyone have a clue about this? Maybe there is a better way to do this now? We are using ext4. IIRC, we tried other file systems at the time, but this was a general feature of all file systems. -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] What are the "opensuse-current" and "opensuse-stable" repositories?
by Fábio Mallaco Moreira 23 May '18

23 May '18

So, I was getting ready for Leap 15 release and updating my repository files and I noticed these other directories on the server. What are those? It seems to me the packages in them are tha same as in the 42.3 repo, are they just logic links to the most recent leap version repos? OSS > download.opensuse.org/distribution/leap/42.3/repo/oss/ > download.opensuse.org/distribution/openSUSE-current/repo/oss/ > download.opensuse.org/distribution/openSUSE-stable/repo/oss/ non-OSS > download.opensuse.org/distribution/leap/42.3/repo/non-oss/ > download.opensuse.org/distribution/openSUSE-current/repo/non-oss/ > download.opensuse.org/distribution/openSUSE-stable/repo/non-oss/ Update OSS > download.opensuse.org/update/leap/15.0/oss/ > download.opensuse.org/update/openSUSE-current/ > download.opensuse.org/update/openSUSE-stable/ Update non-OSS > download.opensuse.org/update/leap/15.0/non-oss/ > download.opensuse.org/update/openSUSE-non-oss-current/ > No stable version for this? I found "current" versions of the source and debug repos also. Could these possiply be used to keep a system runing the latest leap repease without changing the repositories?

[opensuse] Q: btrfs setting in openSUSE LEAP 15.0

[opensuse] zypper dup leap 42.3 to 15.0, does it work?
by cagsm 23 May '18

23 May '18

Is this still a tested and proven scenario? Also what I read contradicting procedures about zypper dup from one distribution version to the next was, if one were to zypper update zypper itself first and only issue zypper dup as the last step or run the zypper from the still current distribution version. Back several opensuse versions ago, there were also conflicting compression algorithms and stuff used in rpm if i recall correctly where you even had to update rpm to the next distribution version first as well and so on. Any experiences yet? Also can we already zypper dup as the online repos except for the isos are already available and populated?

[opensuse] where did /etc/sysconfig/syslog come from?
by L A Walsh 23 May '18

23 May '18

Tried to see what package owned it -- as it was changed a few months back to use rsyslog instead of my configured ng-syslog, which I sorta thought was odd -- thought they usually put configfiles aside and labeled them with a special suffix, but didn't see any of those around. Just a bit on the strange side... Thanks -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] how does a plain user get access to a core dump?
by Per Jessen 22 May '18

22 May '18

It's been a while since I have reason to, but I need a plain (non-root) user to access his own core dumps, and I've forgotten how that is done? Is there perhaps a way of reverting to having core dumps written to the working dir? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (15.9°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free dynamic DNS, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Virtualbox load
by James Knott 22 May '18

22 May '18

I've noticed that lately a Windows 10 virtual machine has become a real hog. Top shows virtualbox taking well over 100% sometimes over 200% of CPU. Memory usage appears OK, but starting up W10 causes a real performance hit on Linux and even within W10. Has anyone else noticed this? I believe there was a recent update to Virtualbox on openSUSE and there was an update to W10 a couple of weeks ago, so I'm not sure where the problem may be. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Wrong desktop for main window and pop-up windows (plasma)
by Bengt Gördén 22 May '18

22 May '18

Hi, I've got a problem that I can't seem to get rid of. I'm not sure if it's Opensuse (TW, several incarnation), plasma or Thunderbird. But here goes. I start Thunderbird like this from the KDE menu and I'm at desktop 2. Thunderbird is placed on desktop 1. kstart5 --desktop 1 thunderbird %u When I go from one mailbox/folder in Thunderbird to another and I get a question like "do you want to jump to <mailbox>?" in a pop-up window, Thunderbird goes back to the desktop I started it from (desktop 2). I tried the old kstart but it was the same problem. When I move it manually with right click on taskbar everything stays at correct desktop. Anyone seen this and knows of a remedy? I'll file a bug report if it's nothing obvious I missed. I start two other programs like this google-chrome and quasselclient but they doesn't seem to behave like this so I suspect that it's only Thunderbird and how it starts it's pop-up-windows.
