[opensuse] Best procedure to clone GPT disk into a larger disk?
by Carlos E. R. 05 Aug '18

05 Aug '18

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I have a 0.5TB rotating rust disk currently having Windows 10 (GPT and EFI) which I want to migrate to a 1TB SSD disk. My idea is to do a 'dd' of it. But then, once I make that boot, I want to enlarge the partition table and adds partitions for Linux and thus have double boot system. What is the procedure for that "enlarging" of a GPT disk? Does GPT hold structures at the end of the layout that have to be moved? Of course, I'm also googling "enlarging GPT disk, linux" and found hits, but seem to be about enlarging a partition, not the disk. Should perhaps I use clonezilla instead of dd? Will it handle that case automatically? - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.

[opensuse] How to add a second openSUSE install to an EFI machine?
by Carlos E. R. 05 Aug '18

05 Aug '18

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Ok, now I have an EFI laptop that successfully boots Windows and Linux freshly installed (leap 15.0) Now I also want to copy another openSUSE install from an external backup to the internal disk (using rsync). I have no issues with root and home, but I do not know how to handle the EFI partition. Because both openSUSE installs use the same dirs and files in EFI... Ideas? - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.

[opensuse] Which WiFi uses less battery
by Carlos E. R. 04 Aug '18

04 Aug '18

Hi, Apparently for tethering my laptop to my mobile phone I can configure to use 2.4 or 5 Ghz. So I wonder which uses less battery - on each side. If it is a significant difference. Normally on radio higher frequency uses less energy (and reach less distance and is more directive) Just curious! :-) -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

[opensuse] keyboard in Leap 15.0
by Dave Howorth 04 Aug '18

04 Aug '18

When I boot Leap 15 the vertical pipe symbol doesn't work. Instead it prints '>' and backslash prints '<'. I have a UK keyboard that has always worked fine. So I go into YaST/Hardware/System Keyboard and I see that it says I have English(UK) selected. So I type in the Test box and see >< instead of what I should see. So I select English(US) and then select English(UK) again and type again and this time see |\. Which would be fine except this happens every time I boot. Which is very annoying. Anybody seen this? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

Agreed, Hans-Peter, please open a bug report with the information from your e-mail and reference that the behavior has been confirmed on the factory list. vncserver/vncviewer should just work. The same way they have for the past 17+ years. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

The mythtv user is there with a userid of 471 and a description of "MythTV Backend User" and is a member of audio and video groups. (created by the system, not by me). There are no special groups. Does anybody understand what this means or how to fix it? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Which is better? Exchange 2016 or Linux-based SMTP Servers?
by Turritopsis Dohrnii Teo En Ming 02 Aug '18

02 Aug '18

Good evening from Singapore, I am torn between deploying Exchange 2016 and Linux-based SMTP servers like sendmail, postfix, qmail and exim. Relative ease of installation and configuration is an important consideration factor. Exchange 2016, Domain Controller, and Active Directory are relatively easy to install and configure. Linux-based SMTP servers are extremely difficult to install and configure and of course, extremely time-consuming. One of the features of Exchange 2016 is that you can create additional folders on your Inbox in the server (server-side). Can Linux-based SMTP servers do that? Does Exchange 2016 offer more user-friendly features or Linux-based SMTP servers? Besides the above considerations, how about security? Traditionally, Linux is far more secure than Windows. Judging by security, Linux-based SMTP servers ought to have a higher percentage of the market share? Finally, I can only use Windows Server 2016 Standard Evaluation Copy FREE for a period of 3 years MAXIMUM. But I can use Linux servers and Mail Transport Agents (MTA) FREE perpetually. Please advise. Thank you very much. ===BEGIN SIGNATURE=== Turritopsis Dohrnii Teo En Ming's Academic Qualifications as at 30 Oct 2017 [1] https://tdtemcerts.wordpress.com/ [2] http://tdtemcerts.blogspot.sg/ [3] https://www.scribd.com/user/270125049/Teo-En-Ming ===END SIGNATURE=== -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Bug 1099565 – Icons and text not displaying properly - Leap 15.0
by James Knott 02 Aug '18

02 Aug '18

I created this report because of a frequent problem with the desktop. Has anyone else noticed it? Also, I find, with 15.0, that some things are slower to start. For example, if I press Alt-F2, to do some function, and start typing, it takes a few seconds for the characters to appear. It seems sluggish in other ways too. https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1099565 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
