[opensuse] running a tcsh script on a bash system
by Jones De Andrade 12 Dec '19

12 Dec '19

Dear all. I'm having an issue with something I though would (or should) be a really dumb problem. I have a long tcsh script (which I won't adapt to bash) to run on a bash system (which will not be modified into a tcsh system due to other scripts needs). It would also be nice that the script runs with a syntax as simple as "./script_name.x". So, I've thought about doing something as simple as writing: #!/bin/tcsh at the beggining of the script. However, since it failed, I tested and discovered that: #!/bin/tcsh echo $SHELL Would still tell me I'm in bash. What am I missing here? Wasn't it supposed to work? Thanks a lot in advance for any help, Regards Jones -- Jones de Andrade (jdandrade(a)iq.ufrgs.br) DFQ/IQ/UFRGS Lattes: http://lattes.cnpq.br/6675936210583999 Orcid: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3429-8119 ResearcherID: https://publons.com/researcher/AAC-5337-2019/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Microsoft Teams for Linux - it's a thing
by Roger Oberholtzer 12 Dec '19

12 Dec '19

It is the first part of Office365 for Linux. Teams will replace Skype for Business, which will be defunct in about a year. As my company has swallowed the MS line, hook and sinker, this is interesting to me. Unfortunately... It actually seems to work. As much as I have tried it. https://packages.microsoft.com/yumrepos/ms-teams/ There is a complaint about the repository signing. But I plodded past that. I am guessing that one should encourage this activity. You know, in the real world. I was looking around in https://packages.microsoft.com/yumrepos/ and there seems to be a bit of openSUSE/SUSE activity. Teams seems to be distro-neutral. -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] SymLink bug in tcsh
by Wolfgang Mueller 11 Dec '19

11 Dec '19

I use tcsh under Leap 15.1. When I type "ln -s" followed by some characters and hit the tab key for getting a completion, the tcsh answers "<link_name>" instead of completing the file name. Without the parameter "-s", i.e. for a hard link, the completion works correctly. When a new patch comes, I always hope there is a correction of this boring bug, but in vain. Since the tcsh users are a neglectable minority compared to the large bash user community, I am perhaps the only one that observes it.

[opensuse] Trouble with samba, may be related to Windows 10 ?
by Per Jessen 11 Dec '19

11 Dec '19

At home, I run samba for sharing e.g. photos and printers with my wife who works mostly on Windows or Mac. Also for my son on Windows, for printers. This has worked very well for years, but has recently (in the last year or so) begun to wobble. My son can't access the printer, can't even see it. The printer is run via cups on a central print server, then shared out via samba. I run a samba locally on my workstation, for sharing photos. My wife can't see it anymore. Machines involved - File&print server - samba 3.6.12 - seen by my wife's Win10, not seen by Mac. (need to double check that). Not seen by my son's Win10. My workstation - samba 3.0.26a. Shares not seen anywhere, anymore. New fileserver - samba 4.9.5+git.176.375e1f05788. Not seen anywhere. Clients - Windows10, macOS, a couple of Linux laptops (no problem with them). Last night I started doing some research, but didn't make it very far. Some issue about which smb protocol version to use? Does that mean anything to anyone? "min protocol", "max protocol" ? I feel very reluctant to start debugging this, it'll only take hours and hours, and leave me with less hair than ever. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (2.6°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] SSD disks
by Dave Howorth 11 Dec '19

11 Dec '19

I've just bought my first SSD disks (Crucial MX500). I plan to install one on my desktop, replacing the DVD player which I'll move to USB, and use one with an RPi I have. With the one on my desktop I plan to install 15.1, probably as a fresh install, and then make some links to connect it to my existing data on the rotating rust. That way I'll still hopefully be able to boot the existing 15.0 off the rust if necessary. Does that sound like a reasonable plan? I'm currently stuck at the first step (well actually the second, I've managed to put one of the SSD into a USB enclosure and connect to it) - namely how should I format it? My 15.0 system has BtrFS with lots of subvolumes, which is another reason to do a new install. Are there any reasons to prefer particular filesystems on SSDs, like with SD cards, or do I just treat it the same as HDD? What do people use? A final question. Crucial have a Windows-only program for updating the firmware on the drive. Anybody know the Linux way?

Does anybody know what this means? I just upgraded 15.0 to its final state (modulo kernel since I have an out-of-tree driver I want to deal with separately) and part of that included an FF update. I have an existing FF session running that I don't want to close 60.8.0esr (64-bit) and whatever I do, including searching for this error message :( results in a window saying: XML Parsing Error: undefined entity Location: about:preferences Line Number 225, Column 39: <label class="header-name" flex="1">&paneSearchResults.title;</label> --------------------------------------^ including e.g. about:preferences Does anybody have any idea what's going on?

I have a computer that still works with SuSE 13.2. But I hesitate to install Leap 15.1 now because, if 15.2 were /ante portas/, that would be a waste of time.

[opensuse] Missing device for /boot/efi ???
by Dave Howorth 09 Dec '19

09 Dec '19

I created a %0 GB btrfs partition on one of my new SSDs, in preparation for a test install of 15.1. I used YaST and it said: "Warning "The system might not be able to boot: "Missing device for /boot/efi with size equal or bigger than 256 MiB and filesystem vfat Do you want to continue?" It's just said it again as I'm preparing to reformat a Windows data partition the machine came with so I can make use of the space. What is this all about? The machine has /dev/sda1 vfat 96M 56M 41M 58% /boot/efi and has previously booted well. Why should creating a partition on a new disk or indeed reformatting a previously unused partition on an existing disk cause trouble for booting? A quick search turned up something on the factory list during 15.0 beta, but I didn't read because presumably whatever the issue was it was fixed? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] SD cards quality - short follow-up
by Per Jessen 05 Dec '19

05 Dec '19

This isn't really very on-topic, but I though should add this quick follow-up. I'm not sure there was actually anything wrong with the Kingston card (16Gb, maybe 2 years old) I almost threw away. I put it aside and started working with a new Sandisk card, also 16Gb. After a little while, copying stuff to and fro, booting the nanopi, changing something etc - sudenyl it also developed some I/O problem. Odd messages in the kernel buffer, and unable to mount, then unable to even fsck. Partition table cannot be read .... This all happened with my Lenovo laptop. I began to have this gnawing doubt, and thought I would try an older Toshiba laptop. Hmm, same problem - then it occurred to me I had been in the very same situation maybe a year back. Solution - put the SD card in my Nikon camera (immediately complains the card needs formatting), format it - et voila!, no problem any more. Did the samne with the Kingston card, also works now. The difference between the two laptops - in the Lenovo the SD card is available as /dev/mmcblk0, in the Toshiba as /dev/sdb. (via USB). The difference in behaviour between the two interfaces is bad enough, but what is really weird is that it takes a 3rd device to "reset" the card. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (1.3°C) Member, openSUSE Heroes. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

I have Leap 15.0 running on an ARM board and something got screwed up a couple of days ago. Boot-up fails : [FAILED] Failed to start udev Coldplug all Devices.

[ TIME ] Timed out waiting for device dev-mmcblk0p1.device. [DEPEND] Dependency failed for File System Check on /dev/mmcblk0p1. [DEPEND] Dependency failed for /boot/efi.

It seems odd that "dev-ttyS0.device" times out - as I am using it :-) Even after mounting /boot/efi and adding swap, and I hit Control-D or type "systemctl default", the system will just hang.

Good morning, all! ...and then tomas.kuchta.lists(a)gmail.com said... % ... % The install summary page is where you can enable disable % firewall/openSsh/changeSW/runlevel/etc. The next install step is the actual % install, I think. I played with a few installations before finally committing. I of course had to go and add various patterns and packages (yes, including those deprecated tools :-) to get the system I want, but that part all went well. I also got sshd up and happy even though I don't really know my firewall yet. I *thought* I had DHCP beaten by, before actually installing, going into Network and setting the host name and IP address. The first time I did that she stopped hard, so the next time I also included routing & nameserver info, and she continued, so I figured I was in good shape; yay. But ... she grabbed an address from the DHCP server instead of using the one I specified! Arrrrgh. Now that I'm installed and don't particularly want to start over, what's the best way to switch to a static IP address (since I don't have a DHCP server I can configure to hand out specifics that way)? And, for future reference, what should one do at the summary stage to actually ensure a static IP?

[opensuse] kde, removed desktop symbols (picture) cached

Hi, i am wondering about how / where kde will cache desktop symbols, because it will show them even if the original source picture is removed: i have a "virtual-machine-management1" desktop entry. with "Icon=yast-vm-management" it shows a monitor and some tools it seems, that this picture was in some update (i use tumbleweed) removed. because if i open properties it will show a other symbol (a white animal at green background). i have more than one computers installed similar, an at one of them also on desktop there is now (i have no idea why) shown the symbol which i see when i open with right mouse click "properties" (animal) in properties, there should normally shown the same symbol i see at the desktop. but at all except one computer i see the old symbol at desktop and the animal symbol at properties. see here: https://paste.opensuse.org/83344057 so my questions are: 1) why is the old symbol still shown even if it seems to be removed (i could not find it actually on my computer by searching for "*yast-vm-management*" in /usr and in /home 2) where is it stored ? 3) how (what symbol) did kde assign a other symbol if the original is removed with other words, when in the desktop entry file is a "non existing" name of a symbol. simoN -- www.becherer.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
