[opensuse] Leap 15.2 coming soon?
by Wolfgang Mueller 10 Dec '19

10 Dec '19

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. Has anyone an idea of when 15.2 can be expected to become available.

[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] Upgrade 42.3 to 15.0 woes
by Anton Aylward 07 Dec '19

Yes, I now I'm late doing this and it is full of woes. The start-up into X11 has the hourglass spinning for a couple of minutes before the login prompt, and that fails repeatedly. The clue is that in /var/log/messages is 2019-12-01T10:12:52.850103-05:00 MainBox checkproc: checkproc: can not get session id for process 2266! 2019-12-01T10:12:52.851602-05:00 MainBox checkproc: checkproc: can not get session id for process 2266!

https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:SSD_performance says "create TMPFS filesystems "It is highly recommended to put the most volatile parts of your data on a TMPFS - this especially includes the /tmp directory. ... Hmm, FF downloads files to /tmp initially. I just deleted 1 GB of pdf files that FF has downloaded over the past however long and not bothered deleting! So how would one size a /tmpfs system to allow that? The largest download file has to fit in it apart from whatever really temporary files and temporary sockets etc are regularly created there. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

by Doug McGarrett 06 Dec '19

06 Dec '19

Hi-- Can someone tell me what's available for TW to play a MIDI keyboard? Interested in getting different tones, etc--piano, organ whatever is available. Have a low-end MIDI keyboard to play around with. I do play actual piano and B3 organ, but just looking for some fun. --doug -- 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
