[opensuse] lxcc won't start
by Dave Howorth 18 Jul '18

18 Jul '18

As I mentioned in another thread, lxcc won't start after my upgrade to Leap 15. I see it has been discussed before here: https://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2018-03/msg00087.html I have the same error but the previous thread doesn't really help me. I don't understand much about themes & icons etc. I try to ignore that whole area as long as I have a display that works. David Haller suggested something to do with linking process-stop.svg and gtk-stop.svg. FWIW I have: /usr/share/icons/Tango/scalable/actions/process-stop.svg /usr/share/icons/HighContrast/scalable/actions/process-stop.svg /usr/share/icons/Tango/scalable/actions/gtk-stop.svg and according to lxappearance I am using a theme called Adwaita. If I switch to Tango then lxcc starts. I have no idea what other things changing my icon theme may do. Presumably it's a bug that I had to switch icon theme, but what is the bug? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

That was it. :) Many thanks Is there any way to tell FF to apply it system-wide or do I have to change it for every profile? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Build Service Fails -- //blah/blah Device Full?
by David C. Rankin 18 Jul '18

18 Jul '18

All, Last night I experienced 2 (temporary) build service failures after update of an editor package. Out of the targets 13.1 - Leap 15, all but 13.2 built, but strangely stayed in the "Finished" state for quite a while. Both architectures for 13.2 failed and the only log message was a one line log message saying: stuff //blah/blah Device Full (I wish I would have copied it, but distinctly recall the ".. URI Device Full" full part) Was there a huge demand last night or does that indicate some type of failure in the system? -- David C.

[opensuse] ssh session, open specific software with screenoutput at host not at client
by Simon Becherer 18 Jul '18

18 Jul '18

Hi, how to ssh to a host, client opens a shell (as normal), then inside this shell i like to start a program, but the complete output of this program should be at the hosts screen? i googled, but found nothing for this situation. try to do something like: simon@local:> ssh -X host simon@host:> konsole -e mc and the konsole+midnightcommaner should be opened at host screen (with host x11/hardware) not at the local machine. (as it will do with this commands) this should be a workaround for a bigger problem: i have a virtual kvm suse 10.1 running with a propertary software. this software works fine over ssh -X, screenoutput is on the client. now this software has to start an additional konsole + wine windows software (only textbased-output-inside-console!!!) this output is also on client (as normal). but, since i switched my clients from opensuse 11.4 to tumbleweed, the old virtual 10.1suse-wine produces a error: (this error i get also when trying to start wineconsole or winecfg over ssh) X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation) Major opcode of failed request: 154 (GLX) Minor opcode of failed request: 3 (X_GLXCreateContext) Value in failed request: 0x0 Serial number of failed request: 13 Current serial number in output stream: 14 (by the way glxgears work fine at client, also fine at host opensuse10.1 inside virtual screen, but not when started via ssh) (and works also when starting over ssh from one to another tumbleweed machine) because i think this is an incompatibly hardware and or software problem from old virtual running wine to actual hardware, (and i have no idea how to fix this), the idea is to do not have this output on the client. i do NOT need the screen-window-output at clientside, its a windows shell based program which only will convert some special files, so no need to see a window or what it do at all. regrads, simoN -- www.becherer.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] firefox background colour
by Dave Howorth 17 Jul '18

17 Jul '18

So another effect of my upgrade to Leap 15 was to upgrade FF from 52.8 to 60. It has made many sites more ugly, because they used to have a white background everywhere, but now have a light grey background mostly with patches of white at random. This is presumably something to do with default background colours, and I wouldn't be surprised if it indicates the website owners have got things slightly wrong, but as a poor user it's a major irritation. Is there some way to get firefox to revert to a white background? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] BUG in Tramp: After sleep, saving file hangs
by ken 17 Jul '18

17 Jul '18

Here's the scenario: Both the local and the remote machines are running linux. The local machine is a laptop. The remote is headless and runs sshd. I often use tramp to work on files on the remote machine from the local machine. So I'll open a file on the remote machine with tramp, work on it for a time, then some time later put the local machine into sleep mode. Going into sleep mode obviously causes all internet connections to be lost, including all of those from the local machine to the remote machine. So, as is almost always the case, if I have a terminal window open from the local to the remote via ssh, it is lost when the local is put to sleep, and upon waking I must rerun "ssh remote-machine" to get it back. That's to be expected (at least until ssh becomes a lot more refined and sophisticated). Similarly, when I have a remote file open in tramp/emacs, put the local machine to sleep, bring it out of sleep, and then try to work on that remote file some more, then there is the problem. Specifically, I can edit the buffer, but when I try to save the buffer, emacs hangs, for minutes if I wait that long. I can always break that hang by doing "C-g". But then the file will not be saved. Sometimes if I try "C-x C-s" again, it will work, and the buffer will be saved, but not always. Sometimes it will take third or fourth attempt to save the remote buffer. But sometimes even that many repeated attempts all fail. Yesterday, after multiple such attempts to save, all not working, I identified the "ssh -e remote-machine" process which was the child process to emacs and killed it -- after doing that, I did "C-x C-s" in emacs and the remote file was successfully saved. Sometimes with such a hang emacs will display Debugger output, most of the time it doesn't. Yesterday, prior to my killing the child ssh process emacs displayed the following (byte-code removed for brevity, sorry for any unintended word-wrapping): Debugger entered--Lisp error: (args-out-of-range 60 198) tramp-process-actions(#<process *tramp/scp lunar*> ["scp" nil "lunar" "/home/userd/dird/osten.html" nil] 198 ((tramp-login-prompt-regexp tramp-action-login) (tramp-password-prompt-regexp tramp-action-password) (tramp-wrong-passwd-regexp tramp-action-permission-denied) (shell-prompt-pattern tramp-action-succeed) (tramp-shell-prompt-pattern tramp-action-succeed) (tramp-yesno-prompt-regexp tramp-action-yesno) (tramp-yn-prompt-regexp tramp-action-yn) (tramp-terminal-prompt-regexp tramp-action-terminal) (tramp-process-alive-regexp tramp-action-process-alive)) 60) byte-code("...."

[opensuse] upgrade to Leap 15
by Dave Howorth 17 Jul '18

17 Jul '18

I just upgrade my box from 42.3 to 15. Just one heart-stopping period. I used zypper dup and the good news is that it performed the upgrade apparently successfully and didn't complain about my reiserfs filesystems, which still work. The heart-stopping moment came when I rebooted. I saw the h/w start up, and then grub, and the opensuse stuff* and then it switched to X (or at least an X-style arrow mouse pointer appeared. But it then just sat there with a black screen. Initially it didn't seem I could do anything at all, but after rebooting again with nomodeset I was able to select text-mode tty2. After a lot of faffing around and getting frustrated I started yast in text mode and went to update-alternatives and switched from sddm to lightdm. After I rebooted, everything worked. I have no idea why sddm wasn't working, but then I have no idea why it chose sddm when I was previously using lightdm. * I also have no idea why the stuff I saw at bootup included plymouth, since it wasn't installed before the upgrade. I've deleted and tabooed it. One thing that wasted my time was that during the upgrade I was asked to approve a licence - something about nvidia video. Now my box doesn't have an nvidia hardware; it uses Intel 915 video. So one of the things I tried to fix my problem was to remove some packages with nvidia in their name, on the offchance it was a driver issue. But I couldn't remove them because of lots of dependencies. What's going on there? Why do I need a whole bunch of packages with nvidia in their names even with no nvidia hardware? And why do I have to agree some special licence? I wonder what other gotchas await? Hopefully none. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] switching to postgres96

I had the following indication from Knurpth: Install postgresql 9.6 ( not 10, if that's installed use update-alternatives --config postgresql ) Stop akonadi, move ~/.local/share/akonadi so that you can go back Change ~/.config/akonadi/akonadiserverrc like this ============== [Debug] Tracer=null [%General] Driver=QPSQL [QPSQL] Host=/tmp/akonadi-YOURUSERNAME.SOMEHASH InitDbPath=/usr/bin/initdb Name=akonadi Options= ServerPath=/usr/bin/pg_ctl StartServer=true ============== Start akonadi and the database will be rebuilt. Took about 20 minutes for 7 IMAP, 1 POP account, total of ~150.000 emails. On Leap you may need some extra KDE Framework lib, but AFAIK that's no longer needed. Now my question was: Referring to: >Install postgresql 9.6 ( not 10, if that's installed use update-alternatives >--config postgresql ) I do not understand this, I do run postgres --config postgresql after having it installed from the terminal? Postgres96 client or server? I suppose client. Or is it like mythtv that you have to install both on the same machine? I have seen it does draw in forcefully(!) also postgressql10 and and postgresql (version 10 also). >Stop akonadi, move ~/.local/share/akonadi so that you can go back So is it sufficient to rename it? Or what do you mean with move? BTW why not version 10? Is it known to have problems? _________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________ Ihre E-Mail-Postf�cher sicher & zentral an einem Ort.

[opensuse] Looking around
by Stevens 17 Jul '18

17 Jul '18

My story: A few days ago we were greeted with a beeping ups when we awakened Determined finally that the power supply for my desktop (OS13.1) had failed and took the motherboard with it. Fortunately the hdd was ok. Being between paychecks and having already committed to a different project, repair or replace wasn't an option at this time so I cast a covetous look at the webserver which is running Ubuntu 16.04. Simple, right? Wrong. Apache will run on about any linux platform and Ubuntu is the newest thing I had on dvd at the time so that's why. HOWEVER, when I started trying to move my desktop operations over to it, I discovered what others may already know: Ubuntu 16.04 with its Unity desktop is a piece of sh_t. Software installation and changes? Forget the gui. Duckduckgo has been a real help. Today I have the final major piece of the desktop (thunderbird email) up and running so there is some degree of normalcy here again. I am anticipating the time when I have the funds to replace mobo + cpu + mem in my blown puter and drop OS15.1 in it. The real plus to the move is that website admin is now much easier with me and it in the same box. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Help required to install Leap-15 on a machine with a nVidia / Intel setup
by James PEARSON 16 Jul '18

16 Jul '18

Hello I can not install Leap 15.0 (openSUSE-Leap-15.0-DVD-x86_64.iso downloaded today) on a friend's old Asus X53S laptop. This was a bit unexpected because the machine was running a dual boot setup Win7 / openSUSE-42.1 that I installed a few years ago. A sticker on the laptop sayes that it has a "GEFORCE GT540M CUDA 2GB" card. The installation of Leap 15.0 stops abruptly at boot menu right after I select "Leap 15.0" to initiate the installation : Loading initial kernel... Loading initial ramdisk... I tried hitting 'e' at the boot menu screen at the beginning of the Leap 15.0 installation and then scrolling down to the line that begins "linuxefi" and adding "nomodeset" at the end.. Existing line was : linuxefi /boot/x86_64/loader/linux splash=silent I added nomodeset like this : linuxefi /boot/x86_64/loader/linux splash=silent nomodeset After which I hit Ctrl + X or F10 to contine booting. This changed nothing. The installation of Leap 15.0 stops abruptly as before. I also had the same problem trying to install Leap-15.0 with the openSUSE-Leap-15.0-NET-x86_64.iso I downloaded TW (openSUSE-Tumbleweed-DVD-x86_64-Current.iso) and it installed fine. :) The Asus X53S video details on TW setup follow : linux-ws6z:~ # lspci -nnk | grep -A3 VGA 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:0116] (rev 09) Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. Device [1043:15f2] Kernel driver in use: i915 Kernel modules: i915 -- 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation GF108M [GeForce GT 540M] [10de:0df4] (rev a1) Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. Device [1043:15f2] Kernel driver in use: nouveau Kernel modules: nouveau I also dug out an old usb key which had Leap-42.3. When I tried installing it, I had same problem - that is the installation of Leap-42.3 stoped abruptly at boot menu with the same info : Loading initial kernel... Loading initial ramdisk... Any and all help to install Leap-15.0 and/or comments are appreciated.

[opensuse] no way to get nvidia modules loaded?
by Daniel Bauer 16 Jul '18

16 Jul '18

I start a new thread to not mix up things. I have an Asus GL552V laptop, i7 6700, optimus graphics intel/nvidia running opensuse leap 42.3, KDE The nvidia drivers are installed, but they are not loaded. I have no idea why. I completely removed everything nvidia, disabling the opensuse.nvidia repository. Then booted in init 3 and installed those drivers again using yast. I hoped this fresh istall would make them appear loaded, but no. It is possible that due to the many things I tried to get this optimus stuff running again (it worked under 13.x using suse-prime) that there is some mess in the things installed or not installed. But I don't know what is needed and what not and where to begin to search.... By the way the is no /etc/X11/xorg.conf file on my system and yast said something about that when installing the nvidia drivers. I have a xorg.conf.bak and a xorg.conf.install, furthermore a xorg.conf.nvidia-post and xorg.conf.nvidia-xconfig-original. I copied xorg.conf.bak (and later xorg.conf.install) to xorg.conf, but with this I could not reach the graphical kde login anymore. So I deleted it again. An here I am. So, if you think there is any hope that I can use the nvidia card on this optimus laptop, please help! I guess the first thing is to have those nvidia drivers loaded. And then go further from there... -- Daniel Bauer photographer Basel Málaga https://www.patreon.com/danielbauer http://www.daniel-bauer.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] graphics problems with intel (single windows flickering) - still no solution for optimus?
by Daniel Bauer 16 Jul '18

16 Jul '18

Hello, I still suffer from my expensive useless laptop. Besides that the nvidia card is not running no way, even the intel graphics makes problems: sometimes (often!) one window or one message (like the alert when mails arrive) flickers. In text windows like this email or in kwrite or in console sometimes the text hops up and down some lines, sometimes freshly written text appears and disappears and the former text lines reformat. Sometimes a website in firefox (or any other browser) flickers, hops up and down for maybe 50 pixels, sometimes in digikam the album tree appears and disappears. It happens always just in one window, sometimes one in the background (so the visible part flickers), sometimes the active one. If text flickers (moves up and down etc.) sometimes I can solve it if I scroll a bit and it keeps quiet for a while... All /really/ annoying. So: still the question: is there any way to make the nvidia graphics run on Linux? and: how can I accomplish that at least the weak intel graphics do the normal work? I already accepted that on this laptop I cannot view high res videos, but at least that flickering should go away, somehow... This is opensuse 42.3, KDE on a Asus GL552V laptop, i7 6700, optimus graphics (intel graphics cannot be disabled in BIOS, I checked) Any new ideas more than welcome!

[opensuse] upgrading KDE in Leap
by stakanov 16 Jul '18

16 Jul '18

Is it possible to upgrade KDE in Leap? Does this require also an upgrade of QT? Does this upgrade also akonadi? (as akonadi/kontact in Leap 15 is getting a serious problem - system overheat, memory leak, crash on restart of Kontact). If somebody has experience with the procedure I would appreciate a trace of: - what repos - what zypper command - experiences with the current kde version regarding kontact/akonadi _________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________ Ihre E-Mail-Postf�cher sicher & zentral an einem Ort.

[opensuse] video4linux
by Dave Howorth 15 Jul '18

15 Jul '18

So I just tried to build the current video4linux (266752) for opensuse Leap 42.3 and it fails. It starts by issuing a bunch of warnings and finally an error because openSUSE has backported a changed kernel API for get_user_pages that doesn't match its stated kernel version, which v4l uses to try to compile against a variety of kernels. Does anybody know what that is all about? Also, would upgrading to Leap 15 solve the problem and let me compile v4l, or would it just leave me even more frustrated? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] preventing programs from accessing the net
by Dave Howorth 14 Jul '18

14 Jul '18

What's the best/easiest way to stop a program accessing the net? I want to run a program (actually 'make') that may in turn run other programs and some of which might try to access the net. I'd like the access to be stopped and me given a meaningful error message (i.e. what part of what program tried to access what net resource). Ideally, I'd then have the choice of aborting or allowing it to continue. Searching throws up various possibilities, some of which are not in the standard repositories, and I'm not sure what the best approach is. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

A little off-topic, but could you tell us the name of this UPS unit which is happy to beep when wall power fails, but which cannot protect your motherboard? Some UPS's include insurance. Does yours?

[opensuse] /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build
by Dave Howorth 14 Jul '18

14 Jul '18

Where does /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build come from? Or alternately, what should its value be? It is apparently needed to build kernel modules, but is not present on my system in /lib/modules/4.4.138-59-default/ I do have kernel-default-devel, kernel-devel, kernel-source and kernel-syms installed. I see various suggestions on the web but the answer appears to depend on the distro and version (which is 42.3). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] What means this on Yast?

14 Jul '18

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I manually added repository packman on Leap 15.0 (by URL). I then tried to change priority from 99 to 98.
