[opensuse] Laptop cannot connect to the internet on college wifi
by Noah Davis 04 Sep '18

04 Sep '18

My college wifi uses WPA2 Enterprise/PEAP. I am able to connect and authenticate (username and password are accepted) to the wifi network, but I don't get any internet. I know it's not a problem with the wifi because my Android phone has no problem using the wifi. I have an ASUS K501UW laptop running Tumbleweed 20180828. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Any advise on encrypting a file system for personal data on openSUSE?
by Linux Kamarada 02 Sep '18

02 Sep '18

Hi, everyone! Recently, as I told on another thread, I installed openSUSE in dual boot with Windows. I would like to encrypt a partition I use to store my personal files (Documents, Downloads, Pictures, Music and Videos). I want to use a file system that can be mounted read/write on both Linux and Windows. Is there any recommendation/advising/suggestion on which encrypted file system I could use to achieve that? I searched the opensuse and opensuse-factory mailing lists and didn't find any for Leap 42.3 and 15.0. openSUSE docs talks about LUKS, but I googled briefly and LUKS support on Windows is abandonware... Maybe I explain better showing my partition setup: Windows recover partition - 499MB Windows reserved partition - 99MB Windows (C:) - NTFS - 100GB openSUSE (/) - Btrfs - 100GB Personal files (D:) - NTFS - 200GB * Home (/home) - XFS - 30.53GB ** Swap - 16GB * This partition I want to encrypt and have it accessible on both Linux and Windows ** This partition I just want to encrypt Thank you in advance!

[opensuse] Firefox: is this a possible security problem?
by Basil Chupin 01 Sep '18

01 Sep '18

I am running Leap 15.0 but with 2 "non-standard" files: #1 - kernel-4.18.0-1, which comes from repo. '.../stable/standard/'; and #2 - Firefox v62.0b1x, which I download directly from Mozilla. I have no problems re the kernel but I mention it here to show that there is at least this file which is not 'standard' in my installation of Leap 15.0. However, I have just experienced something regarding the version of Firefox which I did not expect and something which didn't happen in the past (as in many moons ago when I last used a Nightly version of either Firefox or Thunderbird). And what happened raised in my mind whether this is a security problem for a Linux system (ie, openSUSE). Let me explain. Since 28 July I have been downloading and using Firefox downloaded from Mozilla site -- the file is a *.tar.bz2 file which I then unarchive (using the F2 option in Midnight Commander (mc)); I then copy the '/firefox' directory resulting from this un-archiving to my /home directory. To use this [new] version of Firefox I then edit the Firefox entry in the Applications menu and edit the Command to read '~/firefox/firefox %u'. When I began doing this I started with Firefox v61.0.1, but on 5 August I downloaded and started to use FF v62.0b14, followed by v62.0b15 on 10 August. For all of the (3) preceding files I downloaded the files myself, unarchived them, deleted/renamed the '/firefox' directory in '/home', and copied across the new version of FF to my '/home'. Until today. What occurred today is something which I did not expect on a Linux system: Firefox *UPGRADED* *ITSELF* to version 62.0b17. As I did in the past to download the latest version of FF, I clicked on HELP and when the box-menu appeared there was the message, normally seen on a Windows installation, "Restart Firefox to <something>' and the version number showing was 62.0b17. === Now that I have written the above, I just now looked inside the '/firefox' directory in my '/home' and found to my surprise 2 files: 'updater' (156, 296 bytes big), and 'updater.ini' (681 bytes big). The contents of *.ini' is attached. The only conclusion I can come to is that Firefox updated itself -- similarly to what it does in Windows! But how is this allowed in openSUSE/Linux? I do understand that I manually installed Firefox in my /home directory and that it wasn't installed in the directory /usr/lib64/firefox accessed only by root but I certainly do not expect a program to self-update/upgrade without my manual intervention. If openSUSE now allows the execution of the 'installer' in Firefox what is there to stop that 'installer' being modified to cause damage to the system? (BTW, the same 'installer' is present in Thunderbird downloadable from Mozilla -- and I am using TB v60.0 [created 1 Aug].) Is this ability in Firefox, and Thunderbird, acceptable behaviour or am I being paranoid?

[opensuse] firefox screenshot haywire?
by Dave Howorth 01 Sep '18

01 Sep '18

I just tried to take a snapshot of a web page and got a popup that says: Whoa! Firefox Screenshots wnet haywire. We're not sure what just happened. Care to try again or take a shot of a different page? But that's it. There are no buttons to choose 'try again' or 'shot of another page', just an X in the upper-right corner. The page itself is darkened with a blue 'kitt car' line in the middle. That stays there even after I close the popup, but disappears if I try to take an FF snapshot of it. Anybody else seen anything like this? The page I was trying to snapshot was https://www.bbc.co.uk/news which has been redesigned to be unusable without Javascript. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Audio volume fading out
by Jon Cosby 31 Aug '18

31 Aug '18

My audio volume is fading out in LEAP 42.3. Where the system volume was set to 70 - 80% yesterday, I have to turn it up to 100% (or higher, as the GNOME and KDE settings seem to allow). I've reset it using alsamixer but this is the same setting the GUI interfaces use. I have a Sound BlasterX Kratos S5 sub-woofer and speakers with a USB connection, and alsa recognizes this as a "sound card." The actual built-in sound card is an Intel HDA ATI SB. It's the second time this has happened; a few months ago, I finally ended up turning up the speaker volume. This isn't a long term solution, at some point it will max out. The speaker control is under my desk, so I haven't ruled out inadvertently bumping the volume with my foot, but I think it's something else. Does anyone know what it would be?
