[opensuse] my tftp setup - not exactly a howto

Sure, I'll be happy to share. There's no black magic or trade secrets, my setup goes back to 2006 :-) No apache involved btw. Only tftpd and dhcp. You can run the tftp daemon from xinetd or just permanently. I run it permanently, but it doesn't matter. I use /srv/tftpboot as my main directory. Whatever you want to use just needs specifying with '-s' when starting in.tftpd. Next important directory is <tftpdir>/pxelinux.cfg/ Under that you will find files such as: 01-00-01-2e-6b-a0-c0 The above is for my Zotac mini PC. AFAIK, the '01' indicates 'ethernet', the rest is the MAC address. Contents: ------------------------------ #serial 0 9600 default frompxe prompt 1 timeout 100 say Choose frompxe, leap151 or memtest: label frompxe kernel zotac1/vmlinuz-4.12.14-lp151.28.36-default append initrd=zotac1/initrd2 noresume label leap151 kernel install/leap151.64bit.kernel append initrd=install/leap151.64bit.initrd usessh=1 sshpassword=1234 noresume install=http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/leap/15.1/repo/oss label memtest kernel memtest ------------------ In the above assume the working dir to be <tftpdir>. Hence I have a <tftpdir>/install directory which holds the kernels and initrds for installable distros. For Leap 15.1 - install/kernel = http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/leap/15.1/repo/oss/boot/x86_64/lo… install/initrd = http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/leap/15.1/repo/oss/boot/x86_64/lo… In dhcpd.conf: group { filename "pxelinux.1"; next-server tftpserver.david.rankin; host sister1 { hardware ethernet 00:14:5e:4c:0d:56; fixed-address 192.168.6.201; } host sister2 { hardware ethernet 00:14:5e:4c:0b:2a; fixed-address 192.168.6.202; } host sister4 { hardware ethernet 00:14:5e:4c:0b:66; fixed-address 192.168.6.204; } host sister5 { hardware ethernet 00:14:5e:4c:0d:6c; fixed-address 192.168.6.205; } host sister6 { hardware ethernet 00:14:5e:4c:0b:5e; fixed-address 192.168.6.206; } host sister7 { hardware ethernet 00:14:5e:4c:0c:3c; fixed-address 192.168.6.207; } }; "pxelinux.1" is in fact <tftpdir>/pxelinux.1 - pxelinux.1 comes from the syslinux project.

I'm here: https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:NVIDIA_Bumblebee#Additional_steps_for_Leap_15.0 I don't understand "you can choose which libraries to link or not".

[opensuse] Python 2 EOL
by Roger Oberholtzer 14 Dec '19

14 Dec '19

In a short while, Python 2 will officially no longer be supported. As one would expect, distributions will no longer be making software packages based on Python 2. What is the plan for openSUSE Leap? When QT4 was no longer supported, packages were removed as part of keeping the system up-to-date. Unless one locked the various packages, they were gone. Will the same happen with Python2 packages? Should any users who rely on Python 2 lock all the needed packages? Or will they be left alone for a while? My biggest concern is the Trac package. We rely on this very much. I do not want to risk that the packages needed to keep it running get removed. I will be happy when Trac is finally running on Python 3. But it seems it (and many 3rd party plugins) are simply not there yet. Is there perhaps an rpm command that one can run to get a list of all packages that require python2? One cannot assume that the package name will always indicate this. I would prefer to errr on the side of locking a package that I might not need than risk loosing functionality. -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[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?

[opensuse] FF aboutTabCrashed
by Dave Howorth 10 Dec '19

10 Dec '19

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?
