[opensuse] using old IDE laptop
by jdd＠dodin.org 05 Mar '19

05 Mar '19

Just a word to say what did a friend of mine. He had a laptop he liked, but the disk died and it was an IDE disk. So no possibility to set a new disk: ide laptop disks are difficult to find, and sata disk with interface do not fit. But msata do. And you can find easily cheap ide to msata converters, and now msata disks are pretty cheap (last one I buy last week, 250Gb for 37€ laptop saved from obsolescence :-) jdd -- http://dodin.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] mtp:/Galaxy S7/ dolphin / midnight commander ??
by Simon Becherer 28 Feb '19

28 Feb '19

Hi, to access a galaxy s7 phone: on tumbleweed plugging in usb cable, could it open with dolphin, no problem. but where in the directory hierarchy i would find it? i would like to use midnight commander to copy files, NOT dolphin. is there a possibility? (like with old android phones or with apple with ifuse and fusermount????) to get access during the normal filesystem-directory's. - or maybe with something inside midnight commander like the ftp-connection #??? thanks, simoN -- www.becherer.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] firewalld vs Shorewall?
by Lew Wolfgang 28 Feb '19

28 Feb '19

Hi Folks, I've finally started to move 42.3 systems to Leap 15 and have run into some issues with firewalld. The basic install works okay on this dual-stack v4/v6 network, but when I try to configure two interfaces (exterior/interior) I lose my v6 address assignment. Stopping the firewall allows dhcpv6 to work, starting the firewall breaks it again. I've explicitly tried to enable the dhcpv6 service, and to enable logging for troubleshooting, all to no avail. The GUI interface is confusing at best, and I've got direct experience with ipchains and iptables, so I didn't just fall off of the turnip truck. Does anyone have experience with Shorewall as a replacement for firewalld? I'm tempted to try it before I get too far into the weeds with firewalld. Any suggestions?

[opensuse] Partitioning Recommendations on New Install
by Jim Flanagan 28 Feb '19

28 Feb '19

Hi guys, I know this has been asked many times, and probably by me more than once, but here goes again. I finally got an SSD which I'd like to install on my Linux box. Yea! Starting off with a new drive I have the luxury to start fresh, i.e. place grub where I want. But, I liked to maintain my existing installs as bootable at least for a while while I get the new install set up properly. But new install on a new drive gives me that chance to re-think my past partitioning setup and bring it up to current thinking. I'm on Leap 42.3 and I'd like to stay with Leap (not TW), 42.3 has been very stable and to my liking. Currently I have 2 physical drives, sda with Grub in MBR (I think), sda1 is swap, sda5 and sda6 are installation drives (extended), and sda7 is basically storage. sdb is music, nothing else. What I've done in the past is to do / installs of new releases in the older of the two sda6 or sda7, alternating between keeping the newest, and installing the new release on the older of the two. No separate /home, all each in /. That way I could keep my most current release working and install the new one to play with and migrate to when ready, basically copy /home over the the new install. I have had problems with Grub finding the older install from time to time, but mostly this worked. But, openSuse has moved forward and seems there's a better way to upgrade now. My new SSD is a 120GB Kingston. I don't think I could do the 2 separate partition installs on this as my current partition is 100GB with about 50GB free. I don't want to limit my working space too much. The 120GB drive would give me about 50 or 55GB space for each of the two and I feel that's too limiting. I do plan on keeping teh current sda for large files and other storage to save space on the SSD. So to get down to it, what is the recommended way to install Leap 15 on this new drive? I'd like to keep boot access to at least 42.3. I'm not sure how that will work with Grub on MBR on sda. Should Grub go on the new SSD, and in MBR or other? And what's the recommended partitioning scheme so that I can upgrade or clean install new releases going forward? Install is for a basic desktop, no email server or web server. Not major use anyway. Intel i5 4GB ram Currently have Leap 42.3 and oS 13.2 but don't' need that. Not sure you need this but here's my current partitioning setup. Other than swap, all are Ext4 except 42.3 which is BtrFS. linux-di48:/home/jim # fdisk -l Disk /dev/sda: 465.8 GiB, 500107862016 bytes, 976773168 sectors Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disklabel type: dos Disk identifier: 0x0003f497 Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type /dev/sda1 2048 8386559 8384512 4G 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/sda2 8386560 8787967 401408 196M 83 Linux /dev/sda3 * 8787968 976773119 967985152 461.6G f W95 Ext'd (LBA) /dev/sda5 8790016 218499071 209709056 100G 83 Linux /dev/sda6 218501120 428212223 209711104 100G 83 Linux /dev/sda7 428214272 976752639 548538368 261.6G 83 Linux Disk /dev/sdb: 1.8 TiB, 2000398934016 bytes, 3907029168 sectors Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disklabel type: dos Disk identifier: 0x0009f628 Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type /dev/sdb1 2048 629153791 629151744 300G 83 Linux /dev/sdb2 629153792 2097172479 1468018688 700G 83 Linux Many thanks, Jim F -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] OT: Accessing Web Interface

26 Feb '19

Hi all. I have a new network device. An Extron DVS 304 to be precise. I want to access the web page by IP. The IP address is 192.168.254.254 255.255.0.0 my network is 192.168.0.* 255.255.255.0 When I type in the IP 192.168.254.254 firefox takes about 5 mins then never loads the page and says The connection has timed out. I tried resetting the unit. I tried setting my PC to 192.168.254.1 255.255.0.0 Can anyone give me a pointer as to what I am doing wrong?

[opensuse] Network question, probably a dumb one...
by Marc Chamberlin 25 Feb '19

25 Feb '19

I am kinda racking my brains on this and know it is probably either duck soup easy or impossible... I have a SOHO network at home configured with one system using SuSEFirewall2 (yeah I know it is deprecated now...) running OpenSuSE Leap 15, with 2 NICs. SuSEFirewall2 provides NAT (masquerading) between my external NIC (which has a static IP address assigned to it) and my internal private LAN on the other NIC. My ISP just upgraded my internet connection with fiber optics cable and as a super bonus gave me a block of public static IP addresses to enjoy. So what I would like to do with these is to assign them so that I can get a couple of my internal machines to be directly available from the internet using these new static IP addresses. (I have been doing the things I want with a lot of FW_FORWARD_MASQ definitions in SuSEFirewall2 and playing fast and loose with port assignments) And I have a number of overlapping and duplicated services, like VNC, Web, SSH, Email etc that I have had to juggle running on two or more different systems. I know that with YaST I can assign all these new static IP addresses to the NIC card that I use to connect me to the fiber optics cable, what I don't know/understand is how to connect/route/forward (whatever the terminology is) these static IP addresses and assign them to different computers on my network, while at the same time maintaining the topology of my private LAN. Do I need separate cabling or can I do this over my existing cables? Without getting Martian errors? Can I assign both an internal DHCP assigned IP address and one of these static IP addresses to the same NIC card? And can any and all port connection requests, made on one of these static IP addresses, be routed to the appropriate "internal" machine by default? (yeah I will run a firewall on it also since it will become directly exposed to the internet if this is possible.) This is new territory for me, never had to do anything like this before! So appreciate any and all kind words of advice... Marc...

[opensuse] systemctl start displaymanager times out with wdm/windowmaker
