[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.

[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

With previous versions of OpenSUSE, there used to be a live version that could be booted from CD or USB stick. Is there such a thing for Leap? tnx jk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Zypper and restart?
by Anton Aylward 16 Mar '19

16 Mar '19

I'm having troubles with my cable service. The symptoms are a reduced bandwidth and intermittent reset. While email can survive this and web service can - sort of - it makes a mess of updates from opensuse.org. I run 'zypper up' and hope that the updates get completed, even at the reduced bandwidth, before a rest. Not always. And certainly not for kernel updates of the larger RPMs. Now I know that cURL can continue from an aborted transfer and it seems that Wget can be a bit smarted about figuring out the 'continue' functionality. But how can I get zypper to take advantage of this? -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] migrate from photoshop to darktable?
by Felix Miata 16 Mar '19

16 Mar '19

Are they functional equivalents? If yes, does DT have anything to facilitate migration? Besides Anton, do any of the regulars here routinely use it? I've never tried DT or PS. I have been dabbling with Gimp for years, but haven't really learned much other than cropping and scaling. This isn't about me. It's for my sister, whose lifeblood depends on income from her photographic magic. Her oldest son has been her admin since I boosted his computing interest while he was in his teens, but he's apparently been less supportive since he passed 30 and started spending half his time out of house, town, state or country. He has her on a Macbook Retina running Win7 (whether VM or multiboot I'm not sure, but I think VM) to do roughly half of her work via remote to a PC running Win7. She's also Quickbooks dependent. Most storage is between the PC and her son's big RAID on Leap. Sooner or later Win7 is going to have to go. It seems like migrating off Photoshop before migrating off Win7 might make her life less difficult, and might be something I can help her with.
