[opensuse] OT: Pihole Local resolution
by Paul Groves 14 Mar '19

14 Mar '19

Hi all. Is anyone using pihole? I am having trouble resolving local host names. I did the following to my pihole to allow local host resolution: nano /etc/dnsmasq.d/02-lan.conf Add this line: addn-hosts=/etc/pihole/lan.list nano /etc/pihole/lan.list add this line: 192.168.0.11 server.local server I can resolve it like this: pign 192.168.0.11 And this: ping server.local but not like this: ping server This happens for all local hostnames. I have found many posts relating to this but cannot find and actual solution to get this to work. Anyone got a suggestion? thanks Paul -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

Hi, all -- I am trying to load the LEAP 15 live image after having use PenDrive's YUMI to install it on my thumb drive. When it boots, however, it asks for the installation medium path, giving me cd:/ hd:/ Enter another URL choices. Neither preset appears to work, and I don't know what I'd put as "another".

[opensuse] Looking for recommendations: Wi-FI 802.11ac + Bluetooth card for laptop
by Linux Kamarada 11 Mar '19

11 Mar '19

Hi everyone! I want to replace my laptop's Wi-Fi + Bluetooth card: Qualcomm Atheros QCNFA335 https://www.amazon.com/Atheros-QCNFA335-Bluetooth4-0-Wireless-Lenovo/dp/B01… by one that also connects to Wi-FI 802.11ac (5GHz) and is better supported on Linux. I already had problems with Bluetooth in the past: https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/524410-Qualcomm-Atheros-Bluetoot… For it to work, I need to do some tweaking... (for instance, on a Live system, I have no chance) Searching this list, I found this model, which seems to be what I'm looking for: Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 8260 - Wi-FI 802.11a/b/g/n/ac 2.4/5GHz + Bluetooth 4.2 https://www.amazon.com/Intel-8260-IEEE-802-11ac-Adapter/dp/B0197W86IE Can someone please confirm that it works flawlessly out of the box on openSUSE Leap 15.x? Or recommend another model that does? Thank you!

[opensuse] firewall question Leap 15.0
by Istvan Gabor 09 Mar '19

09 Mar '19

Hello: Up to openSUSE Leap 42.3 in Yast's firewall configurator there was an option "Switch on and off" with the accompanying buttons "Start firewall now" and "Stop firewall now" that could be used for temporarily turning the firewall off and on without changing firewall settings. It was very good for testing purposes. How can I do the same in Leap 15.0? I cannot find similar option in firewall-config. Thanks, Istvan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] markdown retext error
by Dave Howorth 08 Mar '19

08 Mar '19

A few days ago, I sought wisdom about redis. I've still to get that working fully and am trying to read the documentation. It's in markdown format, which I haven't used before. The web lists lots of possible ways to view (and mostly edit) markdown but most are not in openSUSE's standard repositories for some reason. So what do people recommend for viewing markdown files? In the meantime I picked retext as a simple way to do it and installed it. But when I run it, it briefly shows the text in a window and then crashes and dumps core: $ retext /usr/share/doc/packages/php7-redis/README.markdown Using configuration file: /home/dhoworth/.config/ReText project/ReText.conf Process Process-1: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/multiprocessing/process.py", line 258, in _bootstrap self.run() File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/multiprocessing/process.py", line 93, in run self._target(*self._args, **self._kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/ReText/converterprocess.py", line 57, in _converter_process_func current_markup = markup_class(job['filename']) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/markups/markdown.py", line 146, in __init__ self._apply_extensions() File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/markups/markdown.py", line 132, in _apply_extensions self.md = self.markdown.Markdown(extensions=extensions_final, output_format='html4') File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/site-packages/markdown/core.py", line 100, in __init__ configs=kwargs.get('extension_configs', {})) File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/site-packages/markdown/core.py", line 126, in registerExtensions ext = self.build_extension(ext, configs.get(ext, {})) File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/site-packages/markdown/core.py", line 166, in build_extension module = importlib.import_module(ext_name) File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/importlib/__init__.py", line 126, in import_module return _bootstrap._gcd_import(name[level:], package, level) File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 994, in _gcd_import File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 971, in _find_and_load File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 953, in _find_and_load_unlocked ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'markups.mdx_mathjax(enable_dollar_delimiter=False)' Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/ReText/tab.py", line 233, in updatePreviewBox self.converted = self.converterProcess.get_result() File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/ReText/converterprocess.py", line 136, in get_result status, converted = receiveObject(self.conn) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/ReText/converterprocess.py", line 24, in receiveObject sizeBuf = recvall(sock, 4) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/ReText/converterprocess.py", line 17, in recvall raise EOFError('Received 0 bytes from socket while more bytes were expected.

Aborted (core dumped) Have I done something extremely stupid or is this a bug I should report? And in the meantime can anyone interpret the traceback and give me a hint as to how to get retext to show me the document? I've also attached the dump as a file in hope it will be better-formatted.

[opensuse] running python virtual environment and tumbleweed
by George from the tribe 07 Mar '19

07 Mar '19

Ok, so in my journey of learning python, I setup a virtual environment. The command for doing so is this: virtualenv -p <path to python in /usr/bin> <dir name virt env> What this is supposed to do is setup everything that is necessary for running only that version of python that you want to use inside the directory name of the virtual environment. So I set this up for python 3.6.5 in tumbleweed, and it was running fine. Then I worked on getting a new desktop set up to use as a workstation, and installed tumbleweed on it, and by that time the tumbleweed python had upgraded to 3.7.2. I tried to copy all the files over from the virtual environment directory to a mirror directory on my desktop, but python 3.6.5 would not run in the new computer, even though it was supposed to be a virtual environment that preserved everything that was necessary to run 3.6.5. I even tried using pip freeze and pip install with all the requirements, but that didn't work. So looking inside the virtual environment directory, I could see that all the python module files are actually just symlinks to the various python 3.6.5 files inside the /usr/bin directory. That's why it didn't work on the new machine - 3.6.5 was never installed when I put tumbleweed on it, because tumbleweed had already upgraded to 3.7.2. So I changed the minor things in my python project so that they would run in 3.7.2. I didn't know what else to do. But now I am faced with the continuous tumbleweed upgrades, and the possibility of it moving into python 3.8 before I am ready to be done with 3.7. My project is not nearly finished, and I am sure I will have to install modules that will only be compatible with 3.7.2 at some point in the future. Pip install should take care of any associated problems, I hope. So I am wondering if anyone else has run into the problem of what to do about your python virtual environment, when all of a sudden you move to a new computer and cannot get the packages for your older version of python before? In general what do you do about keeping your python environment exactly how you want it? -- George Box: 42.3 | Plasma 5 | AMD Phenom IIX4 | 64 | 32GB Laptop #1: TW | Plasma 5 | AMD FX 7TH GEN | 64 | 32GB Laptop #2: TW | Plasma 5 | Core i5 | 64 | 8GB -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] redis
by Dave Howorth 07 Mar '19

07 Mar '19

I just installed redis 4.0.10-lp150.3.3.1 from openSUSE Leap 15.0 repository but I can't figure out how to start/use it. I installed it to use with a system called emoncms but that says: "redis enabled but not installed" I tried redis-cli: $ redis-cli Could not connect to Redis at 127.0.0.1:6379: Connection refused Could not connect to Redis at 127.0.0.1:6379: Connection refused not connected> same if I try as root. $ systemctl status redis Unit redis.service could not be found. $ man redis gives me the documentation for the perl binding that I also installed. So how do I get it working? Anybody know? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Backup Data to a Remote Tape Drive
by Mark Petersen 06 Mar '19

06 Mar '19

I'm looking for some help in backing up some data on a virtual machine to the host's tape drive. Searching the internet, I found this command: # tar cvzf - /data | ssh root@host "cat > /dev/st0" But, I would like to run the script from the host not on the guest vm. I have limited space on the host and guest, so I'd like to "stream" the data to the tape drive. Thanks for any assistance.

[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
