[opensuse] node-red, node.js, npm deprecated?
by Dave Howorth 09 Jan '19

09 Jan '19

I decided to play with node-red. I have no experience with it or with node.js or with docker. I gathered that the best way to install it was to install the other components from the openSUSE repositories, including npm, and then install node-red using npm. When I did, I got a bunch of warnings about deprecated modules/components/whatever (I don't know the correct terminology). Since I've no idea what I'm doing, I have no idea whether they matter, or how to fix them if they do. So I'm hoping that somebody on here is more familiar with this stuff than I am and can tell me whether I need to worry. This is the npm output: # npm install -g --unsafe-perm node-red npm WARN deprecated mailparser(a)0.6.2: Mailparser versions older than v2.3.0 are deprecated npm WARN deprecated nodemailer(a)1.11.0: All versions below 4.0.1 of Nodemailer are deprecated.

[opensuse] Puzzling timeout for a non existing disc - how to find the culprit?
by stakanov 08 Jan '19

08 Jan '19

I am running a system with a single ssd (notebook). /etc/fstab is as follows cat /etc/fstab /dev/system/root / ext4 acl,user_xattr 0 1 /dev/system/home /home ext4 data=ordered,acl,user_xattr 0 2 /dev/system/swap swap swap defaults 0 0 So far so good. During startup I have a 1.30 minute job running for a disc that times out. This is normally sign that a) the disc denomination is wrong our b) double. I am not understanding were I have to search for the entry. Goes like this: Timed out waiting for device dev-disk-by\x2duuid-69fb75a4\x2d7dc0\x2d4dbf \x2d9db> I looked in cat /etc/crypttab cr_sda2 UUID=cab3c018-394e-4ee8-83bc-82096111e4b2 cr_ata-WDC_WD10JPVX-22JC3T0_WD-WXW1A372PSED-part1 UUID=69fb75a4-7dc0-4dbf-9db4-724e35370033 this ata-WDC is not really understandable to me, as I have a samsung ssd. I think here could be the reason. Can I simply comment that out? I am puzzled as I do not even understand were this entry comes from. Could it be a non well unmounted encrypted external backup disk? _________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________ Ihre E-Mail-Postf�cher sicher & zentral an einem Ort.

[opensuse] Leap 42.3: Touchscreen calibration
by Daniel Spannbauer 08 Jan '19

08 Jan '19

Hello, I have to install a embedded system with a touch screen with opensuse LEap 42.3. To do this I have installed the xinput_calibrator, calibrated the display, added the calibration file to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-calibration.conf, but the calibration is as worst as before. What ist the right way to configure a touchsreen with opensuse?

[opensuse] using libnss-mysql in nsswitch.conf
by Per Jessen 07 Jan '19

07 Jan '19

I know this is likely a long shot, but never mind - I have a number of systems using libnss-mysql to facilitate users/groups/password being stored in a mysql database. This has worked fine for years, but I am just now setting a new box on Leap15 and now it seems to fail because a connection to the database (over the network) cannot be establisbed at start-up, ie. before the network is active. That makes perfect sense, but it doesn't seem to be established later on either? The other systems are all NFS-root, so the network _is_ active on boot, preventing this issue, but I don't understand why the database connection isn't being retried later? Comparing the config between system1 (leap15 on NFS-root) and system2 (leap15 on local disk), they are identical. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (3.2°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - your free DNS host, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] influxDB
by Dave Howorth 06 Jan '19

06 Jan '19

I'm confused about the availability of influxDB for Leap 15.0 Does anybody use it? According to https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/v1.7/introduction/installation/ There are RPM packages provided by openSUSE Build Service for SUSE Linux users: # add go repository zypper ar -f obs://devel:languages:go/ go # install latest influxdb zypper in influxdb But that actually produces: 'influxdb' not found in package names. Trying capabilities. No provider of 'influxdb' found. So a search revealed two opensuse mentions: https://software.opensuse.org/download.html?project=devel:languages:go&pack… only mentions 42.3 and factory whilst https://software.opensuse.org/package/influxdb advertises an official package for Tumbleweed and five experimental or community versions for 15.0 So which, if any, is safe/best to use? And why are there contradictory sources of information? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] To whom it might concern - amarok's wiki - functionality has been kicked by opensuse, starting with leap 15.0
by Dr.-Ing. Dieter Jurzitza 04 Jan '19

04 Jan '19

Dear listmembers, to whom it might concern: amarok is (starting with leap 15) not capable any more to display wiki entries (this is what made amarok so special and valuable to me ...) The root cause for this is a disabling of the wiki - support in kde4 what in turn rises the need to disable the integration of that exact feature from amarok. If someone would like to manually get this functionality back: just let me know, you need to build both kde4 and amarok on site with modified spec files.
