[opensuse] Digest verification failed when doing system upgrade
by Ey P 24 Mar '19

Hi. I got "Digest verification failed for file 'glibc-devel-2.26-lp150.11.9.1.x86_64.rpm'" warning when doing system upgrade using 'sudo zypper up' on Leap 15.0. Anyone can help me out of this? Thanks. -- >From Ey P -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] how to determine actual SATA speed ?
by Per Jessen 22 Mar '19

22 Mar '19

On a running system, how do I determine which SATA speed (1.5/3/6) the disk are currently connected at? I found this: https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-command-to-find-sata-harddisk-link-spee… None of the methods described work :-( (dmesg, smartctl, hdparm, /sys/class/ata_link/*/sata_spd ). The boards have an ICH7R controller which is 3Gbps, so I'm pretty certain about the speed, but surely there is a way to tell? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (4.9°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] best practice with msysql and root password
by stakanov 21 Mar '19

21 Mar '19

Akonadi when starting up recalls: please remember to set a root password for the Mariadb root user! So what is best practice? Set it or not. That referred to usage local with kontact / kmail /akonadi. And if one should set it: why did I never hear of it or read of it. Just saw that bit on the terminal output of "akonadictl start".

[opensuse] Transparent Huge Pages
by Dave Howorth 20 Mar '19

20 Mar '19

I've just noticed that Transparent Huge Pages are enabled on my Leap 15.0 system. I don't believe I've done anything to cause that since I didn't know what they were until I recently read the redis log which says: "WARNING you have Transparent Huge Pages (THP) support enabled in your kernel. This will create latency and memory usage issues with Redis. To fix this issue run the command 'echo never > /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled' as root, and add it to your /etc/rc.local in order to retain the setting after a reboot. Redis must be restarted after THP is disabled." So why are THP enabled by default? I could understand if they were set to madvise for example, but are they likely to make a huge difference on my 8 GB desktop? And I don't understand why redis recommend a setting of never rather than madvise, if anybody has any thoughts on that? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] MS loves Linux...
by Roger Oberholtzer 20 Mar '19

20 Mar '19

https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/setup/linux I followed the openSUSE instructions. Visual Studio is installed as expected. It is a native app in that it is not just a web version like office. Seems to be written in Java. I don't know if the Windows VS is written in Java. Seems it will get updated by zypper. They seem to do monthly releases. Added the VIM extension, and my vim keys work (mostly). I cannot say it is obvious how to import existing code and makefiles. There is Makefile syntax highlighting. But I think it ends there. I probably won't use it. But I had to take a look. Some people like these environments. I prefer vim and make. Seriously. Enjoy! -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Why are nsupdate changes not persistent?
by Marc Chamberlin 18 Mar '19

18 Mar '19

Hi - This has been a difficult journey but I believe I have now configured my bind (named) service to accept updates using nsupdate to one of my zones. It seems to be working but when I restart the named.service the updates I made using nsupdate do not persist. I will try to show as much info as I can and hopefully some nice guru will tell me what I need to do to get these changes to persist (sensitive info redacted of course). I am running under OpenSuSE Leap 15.0 My named service is configured to run split brained with 3 views - localhost.resolver, internal, and external. I have a zone for example.com, defined in all 3 views. This first thing I did was create a new TSIG (Transaction SIGnature) key - cd /etc/letsencrypt dnssec-keygen -a HMAC-SHA512 -b 512 -n HOST letsencrypt Next I extracted the key from the created .key file and added a key definition in named.conf - key "letsencrypt" { algorithm hmac-sha512; secret "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx..."; } In each of the zone configuration files I set up the zone for example.com as follows - local_zones.conf - zone "example.com" in { file "/etc/named.d/local/master/example.com"; type master; allow-transfer { none; }; allow-update { key "letsencrypt"; }; }; external_zones.conf - zone "example.com" in { type master; allow-transfer { "aclID"; }; also-notify { xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx; yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy}; file "/etc/named.d/external/master/example.com"; allow-query { any; }; allow-update { key "letsencrypt"; }; }; internal_zones.conf - zone "example.com" in { file "/etc/named.d/internal/master/example.com"; type master; allow-transfer { none; }; allow-query { any; }; allow-update { key "letsencrypt"; }; }; To test nsupdate I created a file called test.txt shown below, ns1.example.com will access my named service via the external interface - > cat test.txt server ns1.example.com debug yes zone example.com. update add foo.example.com. 86400 TXT "bar" show send With this setup I tested the update process as follows - > systemctl restart named.service > nsupdate -k /etc/letsencrypt/Kletsencrypt.+165+56715.key -v ./test.txt Outgoing update query: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: UPDATE, status: NOERROR, id: 0 ;; flags:; ZONE: 0, PREREQ: 0, UPDATE: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; ZONE SECTION: ;example.com. IN SOA ;; UPDATE SECTION: foo.example.com. 86400 IN TXT "bar" Sending update to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxxx#53 Outgoing update query: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: UPDATE, status: NOERROR, id: 36698 ;; flags:; ZONE: 1, PREREQ: 0, UPDATE: 1, ADDITIONAL: 1 ;; ZONE SECTION: ;example.com. IN SOA ;; UPDATE SECTION: foo.example.com. 86400 IN TXT "bar" ;; TSIG PSEUDOSECTION: letsencrypt. 0 ANY TSIG hmac-sha512. REDACTED_KEY 36698 NOERROR 0 Reply from update query: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: UPDATE, status: NOERROR, id: 36698 ;; flags: qr; ZONE: 1, PREREQ: 0, UPDATE: 0, ADDITIONAL: 1 ;; ZONE SECTION: ;example.com. IN SOA ;; TSIG PSEUDOSECTION: letsencrypt. 0 ANY TSIG hmac-sha512. REDACTED_KEY 36698 NOERROR 0 and using dig demonstrates that indeed the new TXT record was added - > dig +short -t txt foo.example.com "bar" "bar" So I know that at least the update was recorded in the bind journal file. But if/when I restart the named.service I discover that the update was not persisted back into the configuration for example.com - > systemctl restart named.service > dig +short -t txt foo.example.com "bar" > Dig returns nothing, nada... I don't think it is a permissions issue that is causing the failure to persist the update either, all the /etc/named.d files and subdirectories have ownership set to "root:named" and both "root" and the group "named" have rw permissions. The named.service is running under the system user - "named" and that system user belongs in the system group "named". I am not finding anything in the log files either that gives me a clue as to why the persistence is not occurring but I suspect there is something going on when the named.service is stopped causing it's journal to not be written back into the example.com domain configuration files. I am by no means an expert on systemd and reached the limits of my ability to grok why nsupdate changes are not being persisted. Any kind suggestions from the gurus will be much appreciated! ;-) Marc.. -- *Computers: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the user Marc. His mission: to explore strange new hardware.

[opensuse] systemd logging
by Dave Howorth 17 Mar '19

17 Mar '19

Can systemd's journald be configured to write logs to RAM and then periodically save them to disk? I know it can write to RAM and I know it can write to disk, but I don't know whether it can combine the two. The use case is to reduce the number of write operations on a memory card. PS An actual configuration example would be a lot more use than a simple yes or no in answer to my question :) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
