[opensuse] A slightly complicated permission problem with kvm/libvirt and an existing disk with images
by stakanov 19 Nov '19

19 Nov '19

Hello to all. I had to reinstall my TW these days. I have a separate disc mounted as /kvmimages where I hold the images of the OS. When I check, all is O.K.. The images are effectively present and they are owned by root:root. Now my user is called entropy. Entropy is member of the groups kvm and libvirt. As a matter of fact, he can start and connect kvm/qemu and then you can choose "new" - virtual machine - choose from existing images. When I try to do so, unfortunately I do not see anything because there seems to be a permission problem. This puzzles me, because while being entropy member of kvm/qemu he should be able to read them, even when owned by root. Am I mistaken? In this setup (see above) and respecting the security issue of not wanting this /kvmstorage be world readable, what permission do I have to set to / kvmstorage in order to be able as "entropy" to import the existing images. Thank you. P.S. PAM solutions are also highly welcome (as long as you are verbose enough and I shall be able to understand them fully). _________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________ Ihre E-Mail-Postf�cher sicher & zentral an einem Ort.

[opensuse] disable hibernation--followup
by Doug McGarrett 19 Nov '19

19 Nov '19

Apparently google doesn't allow attachments with a .com extension. And rebooting Windows without shutting off does NOT work in a version I got with a new computer last May or June. Anyway, it's easy enough to just write the words here: Right-click the START button and choose Windows Powershell (admin): you see a prompt like this: PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> to that, add a command, as shown: PS C: \WINDOWS\system32> powercfg.exe /h off That's all there is to it. It's now permanently off. If you want to turn it back on again, substitute the word on after the /h. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Disable Windows hibernation--this one works!
by Doug McGarrett 17 Nov '19

17 Nov '19

[somewhat OT, but useful] When you disable Windows hibernation, you can then, using File Manager Super User, copy a file and paste it in a Windows directory. (There has been a lot of misinformation about this, but a file I just received today (from a Windows forum) tells you oaw: (see attachment) This allows you to download some Windows app while you're in Linux and paste it directly into a Windows directory.

[opensuse] syntax to download opensuse metalink4 with aria2c
by stakanov 16 Nov '19

16 Nov '19

I am getting stupid with the aria2c syntax. I did write aria2c --check-integrity=true --max-connection-per-server=4 --dir=/home/ entropia/Downloads M=https://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/iso/openSUSE-Tumbleweed-DVD-x86_… But it fails saying: 11/16 16:05:09 [NOTICE] Download GID#412df6dcfe401aab not complete: Riepilogo scaricamenti: gid |stat|avg speed |path/URI ======+====+=========== +======================================================= 412df6|ERR | n/a|n/a Legenda degli stati: Errore. What am I doing wrong? I tried to set also x=1 (or max-connection-per- server=1) but nothing changes. What am I doing wrong. 我是太郁闷了！！！！ _________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________ Ihre E-Mail-Postf�cher sicher & zentral an einem Ort.

[opensuse] Why is pdfchain not build for 15.0 Oss when it has been in Oss since before 42.3 - it's CRITICAL
by David C. Rankin 14 Nov '19

14 Nov '19

All, Devs Why is pdfchain no build for 15.0? It was there in 42.3. It's critical for anyone who needs to assemble pdf documents, such as faxes, exhibits, court filings, etc.. It is a wonderful gui that allows to you rotate and assemble many pdfs into a final document. I had a settlement and closing documents due by the 18th in Federal Court for the Sourthern Dist. of Texas and went to use pdfchain that was present before the zypper dup -- only to find out it is no longer on my system -- what?? It's something that was built and part of OSS, not some tangent repo. Can somebody go re-enable the build to add 15.0 and 15.1 to the build lists. This one caught me off guard. -- David C.

[opensuse] Cannot install Leap-15.1 on HP laptop
by Wolfgang Mueller 13 Nov '19

13 Nov '19

Today I tried to install Leap-15.1 on my new HP Pavilion Gaming Laptop 15-cx0112ng, but in vain. (Despite its name, I have no intention to use the laptop for games.) After inserting a bootable USB stick made from openSUSE-Leap-15.1-NET-x86_64.iso, I switched on the laptop and selected "Installation". This was the system's response: - Loading kernel - Loading initial ramdisk ... ... ... - Loading base drivers...ok - Starting hardware detection... But then an "ok" never appeared. Three overlapping green bars slowly grew from the left to the right for showing the hardware detection's progress. But after their arrival at the right-hand end, nothing happened any more. I waited one more hour, but in vain. I repeated this attempt of installation twice, loosing a lot of time, but without obtaining a different result. Unfortunately the laptop has no CD/DVD drive. So, there is no alternative to the installation with a bootable USB stick. Any help is welcome! Thanks in advance, Wolfgang -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] wireless intermittent
by Dave Howorth 13 Nov '19

13 Nov '19

I'm a complete noob when it comes to wireless! I just turned wireless on on my openSUSE PC (Leap 15.0) in order to be able to control a TP-Link HS110 smart plug. But the wireless seems to be flaky on the PC and I have no idea why. I set it up in YaST - I use Wicked - and it seemed to work, then it stopped, then it worked, then it didn't etc. YaST now says: RTL8821AE 802.11ac PCIe Wireless Network Adapter (Not connected) MAC : 80:a5:89:34:b8:27 BusID : 0000:03:00.0 Device Name: wlan0 Started automatically at boot IP address assigned using DHCP but on my router's network management page I can see an IP address for my PC's WLAN interface (it's on a different net to the wired LAN) and part of the time it indicates a connection and part not. When it does the signal strength is -73 dBm. Is it telling me there's an actual connection problem (needs a better antenna) or is there some other possibility? How can I tell for sure? Oh there's a bunch of stuff in the log that probably helps if I knew what it meant: 2019-11-09T17:33:48.960206+00:00 acer-suse kernel: [9051579.222125] wlan0: Connection to AP 9a:9b:cb:9d:ab:52 lost 2019-11-09T17:33:52.240230+00:00 acer-suse kernel: [9051582.502761] wlan0: authenticate with 9a:9b:cb:9d:ab:52 2019-11-09T17:33:52.240242+00:00 acer-suse kernel: [9051582.503188] wlan0: send auth to 9a:9b:cb:9d:ab:52 (try 1/3) 2019-11-09T17:33:52.244205+00:00 acer-suse kernel: [9051582.509073] wlan0: authenticated 2019-11-09T17:33:52.244217+00:00 acer-suse kernel: [9051582.509992] wlan0: associate with 9a:9b:cb:9d:ab:52 (try 1/3) 2019-11-09T17:33:52.250061+00:00 acer-suse kernel: [9051582.515266] wlan0: RX AssocResp from 9a:9b:cb:9d:ab:52 (capab=0x1431 status=0 aid=6) 2019-11-09T17:33:52.250072+00:00 acer-suse kernel: [9051582.515519] wlan0: associated 2019-11-09T17:33:52.276592+00:00 acer-suse wickedd-dhcp4[1406]: wlan0: Request to acquire DHCPv4 lease with UUID 5fdb3c5d-1de5-0b00-a505-00000d000000 2019-11-09T17:33:55.580226+00:00 acer-suse kernel: [9051585.842867] wlan0: deauthenticated from 9a:9b:cb:9d:ab:52 (Reason: 34=DISASSOC_LOW_ACK) etc etc -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Certbot packages missing in OpenSuSE 15.1?
by Marc Chamberlin 13 Nov '19

13 Nov '19

Any idea what happened to the certbot and certbot-doc packages for OpenSuSE Leap 15.1? YaST is not showing these packages when I do a search for them... I will try and install these from the 15.0 repository but curious as to why they are missing in 15.1?
