[opensuse] Microsoft Sculpt keyboard
by Jeffrey L. Taylor 04 Jun '18

04 Jun '18

Anyone used the newer MS Scuplt keyboard with the separate numeric keypad? It feels really nice under my fingers. I always wonder about Microsoft, have they done something proprietary with their hardware.

[opensuse] any tips/alternatives: problems with btrfs and raid (md-raid and builtin raid)
by Paul Neuwirth 04 Jun '18

04 Jun '18

Hello group, both problems I struggled with were discussed in the past. Due to recent discussion and different problems with btrfs builtin experimental raid, I decided to go to btrfs on md-raid (again, as I noticed later). I created a RAID 1 array, and created a new btrfs filesystem and created opensuse-style subvolumes. Restored my backup. Everything seemed to work fine... But after reboot, the btrfs filesystem is faulty and can't be repaired with btrfs check (does not complete, will segfault). It seems, that much data wasn't written to the hdds (missing transactions...). In a discussion two years ago, the assumption was a "write hole". In fact the SATA controller is being reset occassionally.. never had problems with that fact using ext3/ext4/reiserfs. Two years ago I switched to btrfs raid. But it was very problematically (missing implementations, no hot spare, ...) and also ended somewhen in fatal error.. Now, I am wondering if there is a good alternative filesystem? I like the subvolume management, which is easier to maintain as lvm, in my opinion. Important also snapshots and especially the cow-feature. Does anyone have tips? how can this write-hole problem be solved? any possibility to monitor/check filesystem while mounted? to get a working system again, any commands available to clear the filesystem contents, but leave the structure (subvolumes) intact?

Well, then something else, I'm not that familiar with Ubuntu. See, network config says DNS queries are answered by SELF, or localhost. Thus there absolutely needs to be some localhost daemon answering the queries. It could be bind aka named. You must find out what it is, and what outside DNS it queries.

What happens with "ping 192.168.100.1"? If "no response" there you have the problem. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.3 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)

[opensuse] Grub Customizer broken in 15.0
by James Knott 03 Jun '18

03 Jun '18

I installed 15.0 on my notebook computer, where I have both Linux and Windows installed. This means I need a boot menu to select which OS I want to use. In the past, it was possible to edit the boot menu. Someone decided to "improve" things by removing that possibility. I then had to install Grub Customizer to edit the menu. That's now broken with 15.0. On top of that, my Grub menu has 15.0 twice, but no mention of Windows and no way to fix that. Is there any way to edit the menu now? Why was this even broken in the first place? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

Hello: I am searching for an email client in which I can do this: answer a message and attach to this answer other emails from other folders (not files from the computer). I am familiar with roundcube webmail client and alpine text based client, but these cannot do the above. Thank you in advance for suggfestons.

[opensuse] a little help with Leap 5
by don fisher 02 Jun '18

02 Jun '18

I have been having a lot of trouble with upgrade, so pardon this if stupid question. I do not use LVM. When I boot the Leap 15 DVD and try to set up partitions, I get 6 rather that the usual 3 generated under 14.3. For some reason, that I can probably research on google, it sets up partition 1 as a BIOS boot partition. Not sure why this is required. But then it sets up partitions 2 and 3 as BtrFS partitions, then partition 5 as another BtrFS partition mounted as root. Then partitions for the usual swap and home file systems. Why are there 3 BtrFS partitions? The only comment I can find, all the way in Release notes:7 technical, is that there is a single subvolume for all of /var. I changed the root file system type to xfs and was able to generate the 3, (4 with BIOS boot), partition layout I am familiar with. Comments please.

Hi all, Perhaps I'm looking in the wrong places, like: ../repositories/network/openSUSE_Leap_15.0/x86_64/ ../repositories/network:/telephony/openSUSE_Leap_15.0/x86_64/ ../repositories/network:/telephony:/ (here are asterisk-14 and asterisk-15 completely missing) but I can't find asterisk-15.x while in /repositories/network:/telephony/openSUSE_Leap_42.3/x86_64/ I see: asterisk-15.4.0-2.1.x86_64.rpm build at: 30-May-2018 13:05 Looking at the wrong places, or looking too early?

Hello, I'm on Tumbleweed with network manager and KDE. With some wifi networks (now 2), network manager can connect but it has no data flux and the ping doesn't work. I haven't connection issue with another wifi networks. I can use these wifi networks with an Ubuntu live USB. Thanks for your helping.

[opensuse] Problem with leap 15 upgrade
by don fisher 02 Jun '18

02 Jun '18

I started to perform an upgrade from 43.2 to Leap 15 and received an error warning: "Some partitions on the system on /dev/sdc2 are mounted by kernel-device name" I had mounted the partitions by UUID. Is UUID that what is meant by a kernel device name? Because I was under the impression that the UUID belonged to the device. Should that cause the system upgrade to fail? I get message Execution of Command ""[["?usr.sbin.grub2-mkconfig","-o","/boot/grubd/grub.cfg"]]" failed Error output: Generating grub configuration file... and more., Then: ERROR:failed to lookup rootid:inappropriate ioctl for device. Is this a problem with the use of UUIDs? The first warning suggests changing the "mount-by" method to any other method. Don't know which other one to pick. Using google it appears that UUID is the most recommended. But another link says that the it you recreate the partitions they will get different UUIDs. I looked in /dev/disk and see by-id, by-label, by-path and by UUID. I would use by-id, but am concerned that all of the devices may not be known. Like 4GB SSD drives. By-path appears vulnerable to the pci id changing if one moves the drive. I usually do not put labels on all of my partitions, so do not know how what by label would look like. What is the best approach? And is this my problem? Don -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] please use the new opensuse-support list ??

Gertjan, I have mostly stayed out of this discussion, but this is a bit much. Given that no change of purpose for opensuse(a)o.o has been announced, proposed nor discussed, I think you are being insincere in attempting to reroute traffic, thereby unnecessarily splitting our community. The new support list has been announced, now leave it to the community to decide. If people find the support offered on opensuse-support(a)o.o to be more readily available or perhaps even better than here, they will migrate by themselves. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (18.9°C) member, openSUSE Heroes. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
