[opensuse] opensuse 15.1
by don fisher 17 Aug '18

17 Aug '18

I was informed that opensuse Leap 15.1 did not exist at the current time. But on "openSUSE download server" I fine the directory: http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/leap/15.1/repo/oss/x86_64/ which is populated. Any ideas on why we have a directory full of RPMs for Leap 15.1 it it does not exist?

[opensuse] Question re why part of a magazine article does not print
by Basil Chupin 17 Aug '18

17 Aug '18

I printed out this article- https://au.pcmag.com/software/138/guide/the-best-vpn-services-of-2018 but the table at the beginning of the article won't print -- the printing begins with the Heading then skips the table of the various VPNs and continues from "VPNs Keep You Safe Online". I had to use the Firefox Add-on 'Screengrab' to save that table to a file and then printed that *.png file. Any thoughts as to why that table will not print as part of that article but has to be saved as a separate file in order to print it? (Using Leap 15.0 [with kernel 4.17.11-3], Firefox v 60.0.1esr, and the printer is Epson Expression Photo XP-960.)

[opensuse] KDE user manager doesn't work
by James Knott 16 Aug '18

16 Aug '18

I just opened the User Manager in desktop settings. I see that none of the users are listed and I can't even add one. Is this a new "feature"? This is on KDE plasma on Leap 15.0. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] CANBus experience
by Roger Oberholtzer 16 Aug '18

16 Aug '18

Anyone using a CANBus card with openSUSE? We will soon have a MobilEye device that we want to test integrating with our system. And it speaks CANBus. We are on our own to provide the CANBus card. So something that is known to play nice with Linux/openSUSE is what we are looking for. So any suggestions or experiences are welcome. -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Trump tariff, trade war hurting US business, says American boat CEO - Business Insider
by Anton Aylward 16 Aug '18

16 Aug '18

https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-tariff-trade-war-hurting-us-business-… "We have found ourselves in the crosshairs of a trade war, one that will drown out the effects of tax reform and risk our industry's promising future, taking American workers and consumers down with it," he wrote. In laying out the threat the trade war poses, Yeargin identified the three ways that Trump's trade fights are contributing to pain for US manufacturers: 1 Tariffs caused the price of imported parts to increase: Tariffs act as taxes on imports, which in turn cause the prices of the goods hit with those taxes to increase. ... 2 The prices of US goods are also increasing due to market distortions: Correct Craft sources nearly all of the aluminum sheet used in its boats from the US — more than 90% according to Yeargin — but this has not protected the company from price increases. As domestic producers have seen foreign prices rise, so too have US aluminum producers used this new pricing power. According to Yeargin, the price of domestic aluminum has risen by 20% to 30% due to market distortions created by the tariffs. ... 3 Retaliatory tariffs on US exports are hurting American companies that send goods abroad: Yeargin said that retaliatory tariffs on boats by Canada, Mexico, and the European Union — which represent a large portion of the firm's overseas sales — will harm sales and "puts the industry's $1.8 billion in recreational boat and engine exports and the jobs of Americans in jeopardy." -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

It looks like we are in for another round of Meltdown and Spectre, apparently 3 more flaws and vulnerabilities that allow lifting credentials: https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/08/14/intel_l1_terminal_fault_bugs/ https://www.tomshardware.com/news/intel-chips-foreshadow-security-flaws,376… -- David C.

[opensuse] Leap 15.0 repo question
by Mark Hounschell 15 Aug '18

15 Aug '18

We have an internal mirror that we use in house. I have one machine out of many where I get this error when trying to do updates. Just started happening. Just noticed today actually. File './repodata/263f5a933ae8bc1d1e8ed28ad2c01ee131a313f7e927dfde002b664bab50d2dc-primary.xml.gz' not found on medium 'http://opensuse.cc.local/update/leap/15.0/oss/' So it appears the problem is local to this one machine. How to fix the machine? Thanks Mark -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] How to remove binary garbage from the front of a binary file??
by Greg Freemyer 14 Aug '18

14 Aug '18

All, I don't know the origin of these files, but I have a 100GB of corrupted PST files. >From what I can tell some sort of a processing / extraction tool went haywire and prepended binary junk in the front of the real data. The actual start of the data is a header with !BDN as the first 4 chars. The prepended junk from what I've seen can be roughly from 10-500 binary octets (chars). It is sort of like ram slack, but at the start of the files. (No idea how that happened). If I knew for certain that the binary junk didn't have any newlines in it, this sed script would get rid of the junk: find . -name \*.pst -exec sed -e '1s/^.*!BDN/!BDN/' -i "{}" \; I know I can write a program to do the same but working in binary and not worrying about intervening newlines. Is there a relatively straight forward way to accomplish the above? fyi: I'm going to try and get replacement uncorrupted data files as well, but that might be easier said than done.

[opensuse] how to add a group?
by Dave Howorth 13 Aug '18

13 Aug '18

I need to create a new group - 'plugdev' - and make my user a member of the group (it's apparently necessary for android dev tools). My first try was to go into YaST, make the new group and add myself to it. That appeared to work. But when I tested, it appears it hadn't: $ id uid=1000(dhoworth) gid=100(users) groups=100(users),16(dialout) So I started a new terminal window, in case that was necessary. Same output. So I went back into YaST and it shows I am a member of plugdev. But I still get the same output from the id command in a terminal. I looked in /etc/group and I'm listed as a member there. Here's another log from the terminal: dhoworth@acer-suse:~$ groups users dialout dhoworth@acer-suse:~$ groups dhoworth dhoworth : users dialout plugdev dhoworth@acer-suse:~$ whoami dhoworth What on earth is going on? Ah, if I su to myself then $ groups users dialout plugdev but still $ ./adb -a devices List of devices attached 74e3e048 no permissions (user dhoworth is not in the plugdev group); see [http://developer.android.com/tools/device.html] 74e3e048 no permissions (user dhoworth is not in the plugdev group); see [http://developer.android.com/tools/device.html] Gah! I must be missing something basic. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
