[opensuse] Upgrading OpenSuSE and repos
by Marc Chamberlin 20 Jan '19

20 Jan '19

Hello - I am still trying to track down and understand why my attempt to upgrade OpenSuSE Leap 42.3 to OpenSuSE Leap 15.0 has failed. After using an OpenSuSE installation DVD, to do an in place upgrade, my system was working partially OK but there were some problems with the plasma widgets and tools and and I was advised to try and do a zypper dup to fix those issues. That worked until I tried to do some further installation of some additional software and then I lost the ability to do anything with KDE. Both the keyboard and mouse no longer work at the point the login prompts are shown. I can SSH in to the system, and from that perspective everything seems to be working OK, services I want to run are running etc. Using the QT version of YaST, from an SSH shell, I have discovered that the repositories that YaST is using are still pointing at the 42.3 versions, so I suspect I now have a mixed bag of software from both the 42.3 and the 15.0 repos. Doing another zypper dup simply tells me there is nothing to update however... So I am wondering, could/should I go in to /etc/zypp/repos.d and change all the BaseURL references for the repositories from 42.3 to 15.0 (or perhaps to $releasever )? Seems like I could, but I am guessing.... And then I would think doing a zypper dup (or zypper dup --$releasever 15.0 ) might insure I have a consistent system? And this all begs another question, why weren't my repository definitions updated when I used the OpenSuSE installation DVD to upgrade my system?

[opensuse] SuSEfirewall2-fail2ban
by Marc Chamberlin 18 Jan '19

18 Jan '19

I thought I would throw this out for discussion based on my recent experience with this particular package. I installed this in my new installation of OpenSuSE15.0. I thought initially this package SuSEfirewall2-fail2ban was a good idea for integration between these two applications. But based on my recent experience with trying to install it I got to say either this package needs to be tossed or fixed, as it stands it seriously breaks SuSEfirewall2 and it is not an easy thing to debug. Some of the problems I had, once it was installed were - 1. It forces the startup of the fail2ban service each time SuSEfirewall service is started, not something you might want sometimes, and not easy to figure out how to discover and stop this relationship. 2. It has/causes dependency errors in the systemd launcher that breaks the ability of the SuSEfirewall service from starting properly. (this problem is widely talked about in other distros as well with their versions of firewalls, bug reports have been submitted, and no fix is yet available) 3. It caused/forced my networks internal NIC card to be relabeled as an external facing NIC, which then caused me to have 2 external facing NIC's and that broke all sorts of other services I had running on my server. (which led me on many wild goose chases trying to track down errors that other services such as Apache2, Tomcat, Apache James and even Named were reporting.) Given all the headaches this package caused me, my recommendation is to get rid of it, it is not really necessary AFAIK and my system seems to be running fine without it. Want to have some fun? Try it yourself, install the fail2ban service and this package also. Then restart the SuSEfirewall2 service and watch it belly ache. If you have two NICs like I do, one ext and one int then you will also see what happens with the int NIC. Yarrg!

[opensuse] MD RAID output
by stakanov 16 Jan '19

16 Jan '19

cat /proc/mdstat Personalities : [raid1] md127 : active raid1 sdc1[2] sdb1[0] 976760640 blocks super 1.0 [2/2] [UU] bitmap: 2/8 pages [8KB], 65536KB chunk unused devices: <none> Is this a correctly working raid? I would say yes. UU should show it is working as expecte. But I do not understand sdc1(2) and sdb1(0). Could somebody shed some light on how to read this output correctly? What does (2) and the (0) stand for? _________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________ Ihre E-Mail-Postf�cher sicher & zentral an einem Ort.

[opensuse] VirtualBox 6.0.0 Win7 guest (dir in cmd.exe takes 50% CPU)
by David C. Rankin 15 Jan '19

15 Jan '19

All, If any of you are running Win7 guest in virtualbox, I'm trying to nail down an issue and need some help. I basically keep a win7 guest on the server to access over the LAN with the --headless option to use to answer coding questions involving MinGW or VS. I have used this setup since Virtualbox 4. With the update to Virtualbox 6.0.0, the Command Prompt in the Win7 guest is rendered all but unusable. Something has changed that effects the ability to 'redraw' the terminal as lines are output (slowing output to that of a Dot-Matrix printer) Attempting to move the command prompt window (or PowerShell window) similarly results in artifacts left of the desktop which are slowly repainted to complete the move. I'm working the issue on the vbox-users-community list and I could use some additional input. With my setup I launch the Win7 guest while ssh'ed into the host server with: VBoxManage startvm Win7Pro_32bit --type headless (if needed I set the resolution for the guest with) VBoxManage controlvm "Win7Pro_32bit" setvideomodehint 1440 864 32 (I have done it this same way for years) With the install I have with vbox 5.2.22, there is no problem with the Command Prompt 'dir' listing in the Win7 guest. With 6.0.0 it takes 20.5 seconds to list 176 files (do you know how long 20.5 seconds is just waiting for a short directory list to complete is? -- it's really long) So does anyone else use Virtualbox to access headless windows 7 guest via their LAN? If so, open a Command Prompt and change to a directory with a 100 files or so and type 'dir' and let me know if it takes a painfully long time to complete while spiking the CPU usage by 40-50%. -- David C.

[opensuse] Firefox javascript debugger
by Dave Howorth 15 Jan '19

15 Jan '19

I'm obviously missing something pretty basic, but can anybody tell me what? I want to debug a javascript program on a web page. So I fire up FF, go to the Tools menu and select Web Developer and then Debugger. The developer area opens at the bottom of the window but it is blank. Then I repeat the process and the developer area contains some ASCII art style buttons and two areas titled 'Breakpoints' and 'Watch Expressions' both containing text that says they are empty. It's all black text on a white background. Oh and there's just the top of some box showing above. I pasted an image at https://paste.opensuse.org/49017814 When I look at the mozilla MDN pages, they show the debugger as multi-coloured text on a black background and say there should be three areas at the bottom, with the right-hand one divided into four parts. So completely different. What am I missing? TIA, Dave -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
