At first they worked on solving 'DLL-hell' in XP, and by Vista+Win7, they'd pretty much solved that with side-by-side libraries (keeping old dynamic libs and loading the correct one for each app loaded). Later they added a special daemon ("Application Experience") to create a load-time environment around apps to support more complex cases. Distros and linux-run-time(gnu) is mostly going the other direction -- specifically adding features that are more likely to disallow apps not built specifically for a specific distribution. To support these apps, it would simply be a matter of saving their dependency-libs and not deleting old libs when adding new ones. It would also involve bumping the 'so#' on libraries when interfaces change, and not distributing files of the same name with different internal apis (internal symbol versioning). Basically linux is moving away from the model that has allowed MS to dominate the market and that will marginalize and eventually kill off any chance of linux being a competing platform. -- 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 in 10Gb
by jdd＠dodin.org 29 Aug '18

Hello :-) I have on a computera 10Gb partition with at start 42.1 then 42.3 that is used mostly for rescue use. I try to upgrade to leap 15.0 and it works, but I'm very short on disk space. I had around 1.5Gb free and I fight to have 300Mb free now. I use icewm as windows manager what can I do to reclaim some disk space? (I can't give more disk space, this partition is a remain from history :-) thanks jdd -- http://dodin.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

I manage a hosted cloud through the vCenter (vmware) web "portal".

[opensuse] why embedded versions for everything?
by L A Walsh 28 Aug '18

28 Aug '18

I compiled a new version some of the linux utils for some specific bug fix or feature, and with libsmartcols.so.1 getting recompiled. Afterwards, several programs would no longer run and I got messages like: /bin/findmnt: /lib64/libsmartcols.so.1: version `SMARTCOLS_2.25' not found (required by /bin/findmnt). The first thing I noted, was libsmartcols.so.1 had 3 versions: 1.0, 1.1 and 1.2, with version '1' pointing at '1.2'. None of those were version 2.25 -- the version number of the release of the linux utils. So why does findmnt look for a bogus version number when the version number is given in the file name? Second, what benefit does this provide to the end user? Why are these bogus version numbers being added to libraries and programs that run perfectly fine with out them (unless something requires them and failed when it can't fined them). I fail to see the benefit w/o unless a specific lib is messed up. Is there an easy util to run to strip all these out -- from libs and the programs that require them? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] mt setblk command in leap-15.0
by Mark Hounschell 28 Aug '18

Can anyone explain why mt on leap-15 no longer allows the setblk command. It works fine on leap-42.3 and on back. Not on Leap-15. This is not good. Regards Mark -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Spotify
by Jon Cosby 27 Aug '18

27 Aug '18

Is Spotify working on other people's systems? Recently I haven't been able to access my library. When I log in, I'm directed to a page with the message "Enable player in your browser", and a link to the support site. There it's suggested that I allow DRM in FF or protected content in Chrome. These are enabled, but I always go back to the same page. The stand-alone installer in Packman requires libgcrypt 11, long out of production. Does anyone know a work around for this? I have FF 60.1 on LEAP 42.3. Jon Cosby -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] wok
by Chuck Payne 27 Aug '18

27 Aug '18

Guys, Has anyone got wok working correctly on Tumbleweed with KVM? I have looked I see a lot of folks with Ubuntu/RedHat have, I am only asked because I am want to ask if you can share your notes. I am having an issue with pam module for python that I can't anything for, I would assume that it's python-pam but no luck. I really want to get wok working as I have 5 KVM servers that would be nice to use web to manage with. If you know of another web management for KVM that works great with opensuse, please share the url. ==================== Chuck Payne a.k.a TerrorPUP -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Script to quickly kill frozen TeamViewer 13
by Andrei Verovski 27 Aug '18

27 Aug '18

Hi, Since TeamViewer 13 freezes endlessly on SuSE Leap 15, and older version of TW simply don't work, this handy script will kill dead TeamViewer. kill $(ps aux | grep '[T]eamViewer' | awk '{print $2}') Save at somewhere as bash script. I copied it into /bin as 11kill_teamviewer.sh, for quick typing 11 -> tab -> enter with best regards Andrei -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
