[opensuse] USB stick is not writeable after playing content on smart TV

by Albert Oszkó

Hi all, My problem is shown in the subject. I just wanted to try whether our not too young, not too smart TV can play mkv files. So I copied two videos on a 8G FAT 32 USB stick. The TV could play both files, with sound. I waned to add some more files from my laptop, but the drive is not writeable any more. Not as superuser. I see the content and can play the two video files on the laptop. I noticed that a new directory, called DVR was created. What can I do besides reformatting? Thanks, Albert

[opensuse] UEFI, dual boot, and shrinking Windows partition

by Mikhail Ramendik

Hello, So I have this Lenovo AMD A6 laptop with 4 Gb of RAM and an HDD (not SSD). And under Windows 10 it is s-l-o-w, but my wife uses it and she has one indispensable Windows application. I would like to make this a dual-boot machine, so that if Linux proves much faster, we could try that application under WINE, or try VirtualBox with some very old Windows in it, or, finally, see if an open source replacement can be made to work for her. But it's a recent laptop so it has UEFI and Secure Boot and all that. Also, no optical drive at all, of course. So what can I do to make this into a dual-boot machine with OpenSUSE?.. -- Yours, Mikhail Ramendik Unless explicitly stated, all opinions in my mail are my own and do not reflect the views of any organization -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] What fills root if not snapshots

by Albert Oszkó

Hi all, This Asus laptop (with TW and KDE) was not used for ten days. Yesterday evening I switched it on and saw I have >800 updates. I tried tio install them with zypper dup. I failed, because root got full. This was with 4.18.0 kernel. I managed to boot into 4.17.14 kernel (got some complaints, but none showstopper) and manually remove all downloaded rpm packages from /var/cache/zypp/packages with mc. Dolphin did not start in superuser mode. All these deleted and having only the 0 and 1 snapshots, I have less than 600 M in root from 40 G. And I have no idea where is the rest of the space? Can I get any help? Albert

[opensuse] Halp! After reboot, simple Leap 15.1 system stalls at grub2 with hd0 error

by cagsm

Something like invalid read or write on (hd0) and something about ramdisk and you need to load kernel first or something. What happened? Some dracut updates or whatever and and I needed to do maintenance on my power supply here, and after the start up of this system it is in this limbo state now. Sigh :( Any helpers? What can I do? I think I have pretty simple swap, / and /home three partitions, thats all. Simple mbr disk. What now? And even more interestingly, WHY oh WHY? :( Is this some known issue with recent boot/disk related updates and patches? I always do zypper ref zypper up Eventually this system got itself a shutdown and now the boot up attempt totally fails :( Thanks for helping. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Susefirewall drop zone MAC source address

by James Knott

Am I correct in assuming that if I select the "drop" firewall zone and enter a source MAC address, all frames from that MAC address will be dropped? tnx jk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Searching a tool for Samba ACL management

by Bjoern Voigt

I have to manage some projects and work groups on a openSUSE Samba server. The project members are changing from project to project. Minimal permissions are required, because of the "need to know" principle, established during an external auditing process. I often have the task to setup permissions like this for a project folder. * a group A with write access * an additional user B with write access * a user C with read access * new files and directories should get the same permissions as existing files/directories * sub-directories sometimes have more, less or other permissions * optional, but may be required in future: reporting of all permissions (for the auditing) It is clear, that I need ACLs on the Samba server to fulfill the requirements. On average I have to change permissions of around one project folder (with many sub-folders and files) a day. In most situations the project folders are in use. The Samba server and my desktop PC run on openSUSE. The project members run Windows 10, but do know nothing about Windows/Samba ACLs. Which tool is best suited for the task to setup (and optional report) Samba/Windows ACLs? I already tested some tools and methods: 1. chown, chgrp and chmod only possible directly on the server; not capable of ACLs another than Unix standard (owner, group and others) 2. chown, chgrp, chmod, setfacl and getfacl (my current method) works, but takes some time on usage; difficult; only possible directly on the server; can be scripted, if the tasks are comparable; not very fail-safe (of course because of usage errors) 3. smbcacls works, but is slow; difficult; needs a login for each execution; no recursion 4. Windows file properties dialog, security tab works, but I have to start a Windows VM extra for this task; no reporting 5. Cacls (Windows) works, but I have to start a Windows VM extra for this task; difficult 6. Winacl (FreeNAS) Only for Samba servers on FreeNAS; only possible directly on the server 7. Local administration (mounted CIFS share) with "multiuser" mount option even with the "multiuser" mount option owners, groups, permissions and ACLs of the original files/directories on the server are hidden on the client Greetings, Björn -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Missing file at Leap15.0

by Carlos Xavier

Hello, I tried to setup Mariadb-Galera before on Leap 42.3 but I was stuck on not finding a well suited package for it. Leap 15.0 comes with support to Mariadb-Galera, then I installed the following packages mariadb-10.2.15-lp150.2.3.2.x86_64 mariadb-galera-10.2.15-lp150.2.3.2.x86_64 libmariadb3-3.0.3-lp150.1.2.x86_64 mariadb-errormessages-10.2.15-lp150.2.3.2.noarch mariadb-client-10.2.15-lp150.2.3.2.x86_64 When I tried to configure the wsrep_provider I could not find the file libgalera_smm.so anywhere. This file is used on this configuration file /etc/my.cnf.d/50-galera.cnf ... # Full path to wsrep provider library or 'none' wsrep_provider=%{_libdir}/galera/libgalera_smm.so ... Is there another package with it or it was missed when the package was built?

[opensuse] Kernel patch needed for Leap upgrade

by DennisG

I am planning a Leap 42.3 => 15.0 upgrade along with new AMD B450/Ryzen 5 2400G hardware. After the upgrade I intend to install the 4.18 kernel from kernel:stable to enable using the integrated VEGA graphics. However, there are recent reports of the Leap install failing due to the ccp kernel module locking up on a bug in the amd firmware. Apparently this is not fixed in the most recent kernel. A kernel patch was submitted only just yesterday that works around this issue: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/1534367485-4386-2-git-send-email-brijesh.singh… I have no idea how to determine when this patch is applied to an opensuse kernel, and which/where that kernel is. Any help? Thanks in advance! --dg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] No duplicate address detection or gratuitous ARP on 15.0

by James Knott

I was just doing some checking with Wireshark and noticed Leap 15.0 does not appear to use either DAD or gratuitous ARP on an Ethernet connection. Gratuitious ARP is an older method of detecting address conflict and DAD is newer. But it appears 15.0 does neither. Not only do they detect address conflicts, but also let switches and other devices know that the NIC is connected. Why is this not happening? I'm running 15.0 with KDE and connecting with Network Manager. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Laptop cannot connect to the internet on college wifi

by Noah Davis

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
