anyone running Tumbleweed and backintime-qt4 have a problem with python-sip-common python3-qt5 python3-sip updates? I have had to lock the three python apps out in order to maintain backintime-qt4-1.1.24-1.3.noarch submitted Bug 1125691 tks -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Need help with a broken network stack of Leap 42.3
by stakanov 17 Feb '19

17 Feb '19

The user contacted me yesterday alarmed saying: I just did some updates (days ago), at the end of the session I did shutdown. Now after a few days when I want to use the PC I have no network. I am only able to give advice via the phone, so all is quite complicated, user has a very low preparation in IT, so is easily "emotionally exhausted" and even easier frustrated. Therefore, less is more when it comes to “trial and error”. So what I did find (and do not really understand). Hardware: system is a ASUS M5A97 EVO R2.0 and has as eth a: Realtek 8111F Gigabit LAN controller Prior to the incident the card was recognized flawlessly. Manual: https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/SocketAM3+/M5A97-EVO_R2.0/ E8045_M5A97_EVO_R20_V2_WEB.pdf The system has a Wlan card and a eth card. But both seem to be out of funktion. It is branched to a Fritzbox AVM 7490 INT. There have been no changes in the router setting. User checked for network cables. So I can virtually exclude a router problem (has been rebooted for the sake of doing it) and the router resolves as it is possible to use a smartphone via WLAN to surf. The PC used networkmanager to handle the network. sudo ifup says correctly: handled by networkmanager skipping. O.K. In the network manager the connections are there, the settings correct. First observation: to my astonishment neither eth nor wlan is seen by the system (which raises in me the idea of an incomplete kernel update?). I tired to force a new /etc/resolv.conf , which worked by makes no difference, so it is not a question of address resolution either. So I went to yast and made the networkmanager deactivated and went to wicked. Now wicked says: there are three! eth cards, and one wlan card. two (eth0 configured) and wlan (non configured) the new one eth is not configured. Both eth cards have the same mac and the same brand so I am sure this is a double entry somewhere. I asked wicked to eliminate the "configured" eth and did let restart the network stack. Now I have just two cards revealed as expected. eth0 and wlan. The chipset is a Realtech card (Realtek 8111F) as expected. Now question: Have there been changes to the Realtech 8111F firmware in opensuse Leap recently? Is there any known breakage and how to deal with it. How can I get a meaningful dmesg (I do not know what error to search for) as in demsg I was not able to find (better the user for me) any message of failure. When I do try to set up the card in wicked it complains about the firmware and tells me to look for further information in dmesg. So I am stuck in the moment, as I do not understand what is wrong. It would be possible to do tethering with BT via the smartphone with the machine as BT is offered as networkstack in networkmanager. So I could try a zypper up to look for changes but given that the volume of these contracts are not endless, I would like to be more precise and just repaire the network and do the rest with the flat contract for dsl. If anybody has suggestion how to debug this, I would be really greatful. What else could be compromised to deactivate wlan and eth in networkmanager. It must be the firmware no? _________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________ Ihre E-Mail-Postf�cher sicher & zentral an einem Ort.

[opensuse] swapping disks
by jdd＠dodin.org 15 Feb '19

15 Feb '19

Hello, I now use Leap 15 (previously 42.3). I installed it on a disk fitted in a dvd caddy. But this caddy is half slower than main sata interface. So I would like to swap the two disks (the two of them are sata ssd). It is as simple as swapping physically the disks and not changing anything on openSUSE side? default install for grub thanks 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] Maybe a bug with kmail/kontact and ClamAv
by stakanov 14 Feb '19

14 Feb '19

I tried already on opensuse-kde but no answer. So, could anybody run a check on the following: when having a pop or imap account the wizard for clamAV seems to be broken as not filter rules are joined. Is it working now differently as before? > Hello, this is to ask whether I have to raise a bug report against Leap 15 > or > not concerning ClamAV support in Kmail via the "wizard" or assisted setup. > Until recently the assisted ClamAv setup did create a filter that would > check > for virus and then pipe for other actions, concerning ClamAv. > Spamassasin setup has the same behavior.

People are becoming much more aware of security issues these days. With the big breaches at Experian, Target, and others, average users are taking notice. When a coworker of mine is asked by friends (and parents of those friends) what they do, he says he works for a company that makes software that manages logins on the Internet. The most common response he gets was "oh, you make the Internet more secure?" These aren't IT people or tech professionals - they're end users who use computers as tools. The world is changing. People are becoming more security conscious, thanks to the big breaches, Wannacry, and other widespread security problems that have been on the increase over the past few years.

[opensuse] executables in home directory
by Istvan Gabor 13 Feb '19

13 Feb '19

Hello: The previous thread ([PLEASE SPEAK UP] Disabling legacy file systems) reminded me a question I wanted to ask for a while. Ext3/4 file system can be mounted with noexec option which prevents running executables from the filesystem. Mounting a users home directory as noexec could be a good measure against running downloaded malicious programs. Still one might want to be able to run executables from his home directory. Is it possible to prevent running executables in one directory and enable it in another on the same filesystem?

[opensuse] java application style properties
by Istvan Gabor 13 Feb '19

13 Feb '19

Hello: Is there any way to change a java application (jar) runtime style properties as a user, not as the application's developer? I think of something like qtconfig for qt applications or gtkrc file for gtk applications. I especially would like to change java application font size and window background color, if possible.

[opensuse] dynamic ip - checking for new address and emailing it
by gumb 13 Feb '19

13 Feb '19

I've mentioned this in threads once or twice before and I believe it was Per Jessen who proposed a wget one-liner, but after digging through the list archives and searching for an example, I'm not finding the exact thing I need. I need ssh access to a remote machine whose IP address is dynamic. Knowing nothing about scripting, I'd like to install a simple, minimal script on the remote machine that does the following: 1. checks on a regular basis, let's say every hour, for the current IP address 2. if the address has changed, and ONLY if it has changed, email me the new address I assume the address will need to be written to a file somewhere to be compared with on each check. Any suggestions? Cheers, gumb -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] expanding btrfs
by jdd＠dodin.org 13 Feb '19

13 Feb '19

Hello, After some error of mine I get a 42.3 btrfs root really full and so unable to run anything (not even booting). but... I have an other install (the one I use to write - Leap 15) and a available partition. my goal is to add this partition to the root to get room for subsequent operation. the simpler page I found is this one: https://www.thegeekdiary.com/how-to-resize-expand-a-btrfs-volume-filesystem/ (end of the page Add a new disk to btrfs volume) but I have a question. I have to make this action from my leap 15. Will this then allows me to boot my 42.3? What I mean: mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt # the actual 42.3 root btrfs device add /dev/sdb5 /mnt btrfs btrfs filesystem balance /mnt other reference: https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Using_Btrfs_with_Multiple_Devices#A… (I don't need raid, just add to disk size) jdd -- http://dodin.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
