Hi, When I try to connect to IRC I get refused, with this message: [15:36] [465] robin_listas You are banned from this server- Vulnerable SSH exposed to the public - email proxyscan(a)freenode.net for help (2018/8/16 13.36) [15:36] [465] robin_listas You are banned from this server- Vulnerable SSH exposed to the public - email proxyscan(a)freenode.net for help (2018/8/16 13.36) Initially I got some response from that email, but it has dried out. > > You have been banned from freenode by our automated open proxy scanner.

[opensuse] Short Howto Closing System (Linux or Win) Using rufus + clonezilla
by David C. Rankin 24 Aug '18

24 Aug '18

All, We have had a couple of threads on the best way to clone a system to a larger disk, whether straight dd, or some tool like clonezilla. Well, after using the windows system image, and dd, I decided to try clonezilla - I should have done that long ago... While I generally use the windows backup system image to create an image and boot disk, and then boot with the new drive in the system and the image attached via USB, this time I had the miss's computer which for all things bad about M$ (on of the rocks I have left), is Win7 Home-Premium is intentionally crippled by M$ so it will not create a system image. That just means another way around. I looked at AOMEI Backupper and EASUS Todo Backup, both have freeware standard models that will either clone or with image allowing something similar to Win system image, they are free as-in-cost, but not free as-in-from-hidden-phone-home. So after considering the options, I just went with the standard debian based clonezilla. Glad I did. Why? Pretty ingenious. Conezilla has a "Other modes of Clonezilla live" boot option which will load everything needed from the boot disk to RAM then freeing the boot media to be used as the target of the device-to-device clone. What this allows is completely eliminating the steps of creating the system image and then loading it back to the newly installed drive. Instead clonezilla installed to your new SSD will boot via USB and load everything to RAM freeing all locks on the USB connected SSD allowing it to be used as the direct target in a disk-to-disk clone. So you simply boot clonezilla, choose "Other modes of Clonezilla live", then "Clonezilla live (to RAM, Boot media can be removed)" set your Locale and change the keyboard mapping (if needed), then start clonezilla and choose "device-device" select the source (original) drive and target (new) drive, choose "disk_to_local_disk", say yest a couple of times and you are done! Your newly cloned drive is now the same drive you booted clonezilla with ready to install and boot your clones OS. If you are working from windows and need to burn the clonezilla .iso to your new USB drive, just use the GPL3 rufus package. Simple one screen chose .iso, advanced options, list USB drives, select and burn the iso to your now bootable new drive. https://rufus.akeo.ie/ Restart, and make sure you boot from that drive, clone as above and you are done. This is the process outlined at: https://clonezilla.org/show-live-doc-content.php?topic=clonezilla-live/doc/… The only addition is using rufus to put the clonezilla iso on your new drive (way easier than the methods listed -- yes, I've emailed the clonezilla devs with that info as well :) If you need to clone a system, this is a pretty slick and painless way to do it all with GPL software. -- David C.

[opensuse] where did the "encrypted home directory" option go?
by Carlos F. Lange 24 Aug '18

24 Aug '18

I just noticed now (did not need it for a couple of years) that Leap 15 does not offer to encrypt the home partition of a new user. Yast used to offer the option and create a virtual disk image, which then was mounted as the user home in /home, using the user password for decryption. Now the only options are to encrypt the whole disk, the whole home partition or to create a separate virtual disk to be mounted by the user. Does anyone know why the encrypted home directory was removed? -- Carlos F Lange Gaúcho nas Pradarias -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Leap-15.0: how to switch to single user mode?
by Josef Wolf 23 Aug '18

23 Aug '18

Hello, if i give the command "telinit s" (on VT1 of course) the screen is blanked and only a cursor blinks at the top left corder. If I use CTL-ATL-F1 to switch to VT1 again, I see the last contents of that VT1. The last command I gave (the "telinit s") just hangs. I'd expect either a root shell or a prpmopt to type the root password to get a shell. What gives? How can I switch to single user mode? -- Josef Wolf jw(a)raven.inka.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Install leap-15.0 with nvidia card
by Josef Wolf 23 Aug '18

23 Aug '18

Hello, I am trying to install openSUSE-Leap-15.0-DVD-x86_64.iso on a desktop with an nvidia quadro 2000 card. On the splash screen I select the monitor resolution and then choose "Install". Then kernel/installer is loaded (with progress bar indication on the bottom of the screen). When installer starts up, the screen turns to black and the monitor switches off, saying "going to sleep". Switching to VT1 (with CTRL-ALT-F1) works, but when I switch back to the installer (CTRL-ALT-F7), everyhting is dark again. Searching the net finds me many information about installing the nvidia drivers ON A RUNNING SYSTEM. But how is one supposed to install the system in the first place?

In addition the user.js file provided by ghacks is limited to about:config-entries considered as security relevant. The advantage of the ghacks file is it tells you in what version of firefox which of the about:config-entries can be used.

There are a few firmware files I need to down load to get my wireless running. I thought in Firefox, if you clicked on a file, there was a way to select downloading.

[opensuse] Microsoft and Linux's love-in heats up as SUSE tunes kernel for Azure

Munich: The journey from Windows to Linux and back again The kernel improves the performance and boot speeds of SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) 15 on-demand instances running on the Azure cloud platform. The new kernel also allows those running SLES on Azure to use the platform's latest services, such as as Accelerated Networking with SR-IOV and Write Accelerator, and should allow new services to be used as they're released, ... SUSE says running SLES 15 on Azure should deliver up to 25 percent faster network throughput and a 23 percent reduction in average latency compared to earlier releases, as well as having a smaller memory footprint. By default, SLES 15 instances on Azure will run on this custom-tuned kernel, although users will be able to switch back to the standard kernel using the package manager, Zypper.
