[opensuse] Why does software.opensuse.org prompt for Distro Settings -- and then IGNORE them?
by David C. Rankin 14 Jun '18

14 Jun '18

All, For the first time today, software.opensuse.org triggered a pop-up window prompting me to choose a distribution to limit the search results (the default in the dropdown is "All Distributions"). I had no complaint with the past behavior of the page, but I though cool, I'll chose OpenSuse Leap 42.3 and just get results I'm looking for... Nope - despite triggering an unwanted and unwelcome pop-up, and then my selecting 4.23, the search returns packages for All Distributions (mtpaint package here) openSUSE Tubleweed openSUSE Leap 15.0 openSUSE Leap 42.3 SUSE SLE-15 openSUSE:12.3 openSUSE:13.1 openSUSE:13.2 openSUSE:Leap:42.1 openSUSE:Leap:42.2 openSUSE:11.3 openSUSE:11.4 openSUSE:12.1 openSUSE:12.2 DISCONTINUED:openSUSE:11.2 I don't mind looking at all packages, but when I get an annoying setting dialog prompting me to enter setting to limit the results -- I expect it to work... -- David C.

[opensuse] Mozilla Released 52.8.1esr on 6/618 - Will we get update for 42.3
by David C. Rankin 14 Jun '18

14 Jun '18

All, A couple of weeks ago, Leap 42.3 jumped to Firefox 60esr despite Leap 42.3 coming with 52 -- which went against the policy of staying with the released version. At the time we were told on this list that was required because there would be no more releases of 52esr. That statement was untrue. On June 6, 2018 Mozilla released 52.8.1esr continuing the 52.8 branch, e.g. http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/52.8.1esr/ Will we get an update for 52.8.1esr in update, since that is the release that 42.3 should be on? -- David C.

[opensuse] Apparmor service doesnt work (since upgrade?) on leap 15.0
by cagsm 13 Jun '18

13 Jun '18

Some test machine, I can not exactly tell if apparmor was working on 42.3 where the machine came from, or even earlier 42.2 before that. Default install, guess apparmor comes with that. Kde desktop. Just booted up 15.0 and I observed a red line in the bootup messages speaking about apparmor. Apparmor status says: [sudo] password for root: ● apparmor.service - Load AppArmor profiles Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/apparmor.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Wed 2018-06-13 10:52:33 CEST; 16min ago Main PID: 470 (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) Jun 13 10:52:31 linux apparmor.systemd[470]: Found reference to variable pid, but is never declared Jun 13 10:52:31 linux apparmor.systemd[470]: Error: /etc/apparmor.d/usr.lib.dovecot.imap-login failed to load Jun 13 10:52:31 linux apparmor.systemd[470]: Found reference to variable pid, but is never declared Jun 13 10:52:31 linux apparmor.systemd[470]: Error: /etc/apparmor.d/usr.lib.dovecot.lmtp failed to load Jun 13 10:52:31 linux apparmor.systemd[470]: Found reference to variable pid, but is never declared ......... there was just an apparmor update I have noticed in zypper ref zypper up right now, maybe it will fix things, but I dont even know where to start fixing this: I have never taken any steps towards config files or settings of apparmor, so on the user side of this, I have never touched a thing (tm). What is apparmor for normal users about exactly and how would one reset it to default, whyever or whenever those defaults changed to nonworking config, and how would one overcome such situations? Is apparmor even needed for normal users? I guess it it because suse distro decided to install it for me. Any hint?

[opensuse] Problem with system suddenly swapping with large amount of ram (seems a memory leak?)
by stakanov 13 Jun '18

13 Jun '18

Since the update to Leap 15, the longer my system runs, the more memory it consumes. I tried to track this but I do not understand. Following is the output of the terminal of meminfo and I join also a link with the output (snapshot) of top. https://paste.opensuse.org/16233536 Note that the system has 8 gb of RAM and should never swap. Currently it does swap until it blocks. If you restart the swap returns to normal..for some time. Then, (seems related with the time that it runs therefore I thought of a memory leak) it rebuilds up the swap demand. sudo egrep --color 'Mem|Cache|Swap' /proc/meminfo [sudo] password di root: MemTotal: 7953176 kB MemFree: 137320 kB MemAvailable: 417340 kB Cached: 524404 kB SwapCached: 201472 kB SwapTotal: 8388604 kB SwapFree: 5495036 kB entropia@hk9l:~> sudo cat /proc/meminfo MemTotal: 7953176 kB MemFree: 132844 kB MemAvailable: 433172 kB Buffers: 29772 kB Cached: 582808 kB SwapCached: 202804 kB Active: 6208760 kB Inactive: 1211252 kB Active(anon): 6011452 kB Inactive(anon): 914676 kB Active(file): 197308 kB Inactive(file): 296576 kB Unevictable: 128 kB Mlocked: 128 kB SwapTotal: 8388604 kB SwapFree: 5495804 kB Dirty: 300 kB Writeback: 0 kB AnonPages: 6748820 kB Mapped: 294356 kB Shmem: 190476 kB Slab: 153200 kB SReclaimable: 54828 kB SUnreclaim: 98372 kB KernelStack: 22580 kB PageTables: 165200 kB NFS_Unstable: 0 kB Bounce: 0 kB WritebackTmp: 0 kB CommitLimit: 12365192 kB Committed_AS: 15205204 kB VmallocTotal: 34359738367 kB VmallocUsed: 0 kB VmallocChunk: 0 kB HardwareCorrupted: 0 kB AnonHugePages: 460800 kB ShmemHugePages: 0 kB ShmemPmdMapped: 0 kB HugePages_Total: 0 HugePages_Free: 0 HugePages_Rsvd: 0 HugePages_Surp: 0 Hugepagesize: 2048 kB DirectMap4k: 315452 kB DirectMap2M: 7864320 kB _________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________ Ihre E-Mail-Postf�cher sicher & zentral an einem Ort.

[opensuse] Leap 15 question #1
by Lew Wolfgang 13 Jun '18

13 Jun '18

Hi Folks, I've full-installed Leap 15 on a test box in preparation for rolling it out to the users. But I've discovered some changes from 42.x that I can't figure out yet. I'll ask the questions on at a time for the sake of simplicity. Question #1: how can I get kdm to run on startup rather than sddm? I've installed kdm, and edited /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager: DISPLAYMANAGER="kdm", but sddm runs anyway. I've been using kdm to remain compliant with local security policy. For example, I need a login screen that doesn't show other usernames or the user currently logged in. I also need to display a click-through warning banner before login. No click to approve, the login fails. I've been doing this with zenity invoked from /etc/X11/xdm/Xstartup. But sddm doesn't call Xstartup, kdm does. So I think I can restore our login security policy if I can get kdm to run. Any suggestions?

[opensuse] Installer of Leap 15 and LVM: installer asks for formatting /home?
by stakanov 13 Jun '18

13 Jun '18

When running install on an existing system with an LVM (ext4), when asking to departure from existing files systems and then saying "import" previous install, I get the correct volumes (included LVM after having given the password of course). But unlike previous versions of Leap, this one tries to format /home?? Fortunately I saw it in the last moment. Have there been changes to the encryption method used in Leap 15 for LVM (for which the installer deems necessary to format my data?) or is this a bug in the installer of Leap 15? _________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________ Ihre E-Mail-Postf�cher sicher & zentral an einem Ort.

[opensuse] Big problems with Cinepaint 1.4.0 under OpenSuSE Leap 42.3
by Per Inge Oestmoen 11 Jun '18

11 Jun '18

Hello friends! I have used Cinepaint for more than ten years, and it is still the best open source/free software image editor. GIMP 2.10 still lacks mature color management, the internal engines are programmed to presuppose sRGB in all files. Therefore GIMP is a limited alternative, at least for me. However, since I had to upgrade from OpenSuSE 13.2 to Leap 42.3 because of compatibility issues with new RAW image converters, I have encountered two big problems. I use CinePaint 1.4.0. The exact version is cinepaint-1.4.1-1.19.x86_64. I have also tried cinepaint-1.4.1-2.40.x86_64, but that one would not open a single file and instead crashed repeatedly. Problem 1: Failure to open the program from the graphical menu in the systray: http://www.coldsiberia.net/phototest/Screenshot_20180611_181031_cinepaint_e… Problem 2: This is very serious: http://www.coldsiberia.net/phototest/Screenshot_20180611_145508_cinepaint_e… - The first problem is an inconvenience. It is possible to start the program from the console, but it is not optimal in particular if we want more people to use CinePaint. - The second problem is serious, it hampers the program function and these error messages pop up constantly. No matter what I do with CinePaint under OpenSuSE Leap 42.3, large numbers of similar error messages litter the screen. Can you give me - and others with the same problems - help to remedy them effectively? If so, I shall be thankful. -- Noise reduction is just another word for image destruction.

[opensuse] brtfs subvolume as VM images storage
by sogal 11 Jun '18

11 Jun '18

Hi all, I have a project of a small home server that I will use as an hypervisor. I was wondering if there is any advantages (except the ones natively provided by btrfs itself) or drawbacks using a btrfs subvolume as VM (qcow files) images storage ? Or if there is some mount options to add for performance purpose ? This storage will host four or five 40G qcow files. Thanks a lot for your comments.

[opensuse] Why tumbleweed not faster (or fastest?)
by L A Walsh 11 Jun '18

11 Jun '18

https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=mac-win-linux2018&num=6 Phoronix did benchmarks w/windows10 macOS 10.13.4, Ubuntu, Win10 WSL Ubuntu18.04 Fedora WS 28, & Clear Linux 22780. Clear linux was leader almost 60% of the time followed by a 21% showing for MacOS and Fedora 10%... Win10 was in last place 38% of the time, followed by Ubuntu @ 30% of the time in last place... They don't rank the other OS's in the synopsis, but the best Tumbleweed did was middle of the pack on many tests, one it got 2nd place, while several it was dead last almost 6x slower on some tests against Clear linux. How's that possible? I would have thought the linux OS's would have been grouped closer together, but apparently not. Tumbleweed didn't show in any of the graphicsMagick packages. Article didn't say why. Anyway not often I see tumbleweed mentioned, so ... at least that was a postive. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Internet doesn't work after 42.3 dup 15.0
by Mark Misulich 11 Jun '18

11 Jun '18

Hi, I upgraded my laptop from 42.3 to 15.0 using zypper dup. I was able to access the internet before the upgrade, now I can't. I can connect to my wifi router, but the upgraded operating system won't allow me to access the internet now. I am connecting using Networkmanager. I tried to connect with my wired connection, and I can't get the internet through it as well. I switched to wicked, and in yast my wifi and other wifi's in the neighborhood are visible. So the hardware appears to work normally, but I still can't get the internet. I also cannot connect using a wired ethernet connection using wicked. So I switched back to Networkmanager. I have compared the network configuration settings in yast to my desktop computer settings, and the configuration appears to be identical. The laptop is a dual boot, and using Mr. Gate's system, I can connect to the internet normally. I would appreciate help to fix this problem.

[opensuse] keyboard layouts in vnc
by Istvan Gabor 11 Jun '18

11 Jun '18

Hello: I frequently use different vnc programs: for server I use x11vnc or vncserver of xorg-x11-Xvnc package. I use either vncviewer-tigervnc or realvnc vnc clients. I also use different keyboard layouts on the server and client machines, usually default English layout and Hungarian layout with accented characters. The desktops I use KDE3 and KDE4. My question is how the keyboard schemes are defined/set in vnc (server and client side) and how it is decided that a given pressed character what character will be on the other side. It's seems to me really messy. For example which one is important: the keyboard layout on the client machine or the server machine? Is it affected by desktop manager (KDE3/KDE4/GNOME), etc. Thanks in advance, Istvan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] help with fvwm
by don fisher 09 Jun '18

09 Jun '18

I have been running fvwm for so long that I forgot how I set it up. Where are a bunch of options in the menu that pops up from the lower left corner. But I am sorry to say that I do not know how to discover which option I am currently running under. I start fvwm2 from with my .xinitrc file. So I guess I am looking for some bland login that will not get in the way of fvwm when it starts. My current approach is to employ the fvwm button, and then execute fvwm from the window presented. I am frustrated by xosview not picking up the meter descriptions from .Xdefaults as happened in 42.3. Some things, such as placement and size are recognized, (I assume by fvwm), but not the graph descriptions which would be read by the xosview app itself. Sorry for probably dumb question.

I have VNC working just fine on Leap 42.3 Thank You, Bob Perez Regards, Bob Perez Messaging Escalation, GroupWise Customer Support Micro Focus 1800 S Novell Place Provo, Utah 84606 (Phone)+1 801.861.8107 (Fax)+1 801.861.5255 bperez(a)gw.novell.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] How create ARCHIVES.gz and INDEX.gz?
by Carlos E. R. 08 Jun '18

08 Jun '18

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, Till 42.2 at <http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/leap/42.2/repo/oss/> there were some interesting list of files: [ ] ARCHIVES.gz 09-Nov-2016 11:25 44M Details [ ] INDEX.gz 09-Nov-2016 11:25 361K Details [ ] ls-lR.gz 09-Nov-2016 11:25 438K Details It is obvious how ls-lR.gz was created. How about INDEX.gz and ARCHIVES.gz? INDEX.gz goes like this: ./ChangeLog ./content ./license.tar.gz ./gpg-pubkey-3dbdc284-53674dd4.asc ./gpg-pubkey-307e3d54-4be01a65.asc ./docu/RELEASE-NOTES.zh_TW.txt ./docu/RELEASE-NOTES.zh_TW.rtf ./docu/RELEASE-NOTES.uk.txt ./docu/RELEASE-NOTES.uk.rtf ... But ARCHIVES.gz is more complex, it looks inside: - --------------------------------------------------------------------- - --------------------------------------------------------------------- - --------------- Here comes contents of all files: ------------------- - ------ *.rpm *.tar.gz *.tar.Z *.tgz *.taz *.tar.z *.tar *.deb ------- - ------------------ found in any subdirectory ------------------------ - --------------------------------------------------------------------- - --------------------------------------------------------------------- - ----------------------------------------------------------------- - ---> ./boot/x86_64/yast2-trans-zu.rpm - ----------------------------------------------------------------- ./boot/x86_64/yast2-trans-zu.rpm: Name : yast2-trans-zu ./boot/x86_64/yast2-trans-zu.rpm: Version : 84.87.20161108.95adeff ./boot/x86_64/yast2-trans-zu.rpm: Release : 1.1 ./boot/x86_64/yast2-trans-zu.rpm: Architecture: noarch ./boot/x86_64/yast2-trans-zu.rpm: Install Date: (not installed) ./boot/x86_64/yast2-trans-zu.rpm: Group : System/YaST ./boot/x86_64/yast2-trans-zu.rpm: Size : 778570 Thats rpm -ql of every rpm. It must be a script. Is that script available? I have a disk with a mirror copy and I want to create an ARCHIVES.gz and INDEX.gz of it. By the way, ARCHIVES.gz for 42.3 non-oss is missing. I found <https://tr.opensuse.org/CD_creation> but doesn't say. - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.

[opensuse] Problem with cups after upgrade to 42.2
by Rejaine Monteiro 08 Jun '18

08 Jun '18

Hello, I have a Honeywell PC42t-203-FP Thermal Printer (USB) that worked perfectly on OpenSUSE 12.1 with a generic postscript driver. After upgrading to OpenSUSE 42.2 Leap, the printer no longer prints. Cups can find and install the printer, but when sending a print command, it hangs on "Sending data to printer".. The printer 'blinks', but nothing comes out ... I have tried to use the same PPD file that I was using in OpenSUSE 12.1, but no success. I have already checked permissions, tested various configurations, different drivers and I am doing all tests with root user. Any tips what it might be? # lpstat -v device for eti1fischer: usb://Honeywell/PC42t-203-FP?serial=17041B38DB # cups error.log: D [07/Jun/2018:18:05:46 -0300] [Client 16] Accepted from localhost:631 (IPv6) D [07/Jun/2018:18:05:46 -0300] [Client 16] Waiting for request.
