[opensuse] Trying and failing to run vmware player on Leap 15.1 Beta.

Hi, I have VMware-Player-12.5.9-7535481.x86_64.bundle. I can not run a more recent version because it rejects my CPU. As is, the package fails to run and has to be patched, following the instructions here: <https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1715552/comments/26> First step is "run" the bundle to install it. Then download and expand the patch: wget https://github.com/mkubecek/vmware-host-modules/archive/player-12.5.9.tar.gz tar -xzf player-12.5.9.tar.gz cd vmware-host-modules-player-12.5.9/ Elesar:~/vmware/vmware-host-modules-player-12.5.9 # make make -C vmmon-only make[1]: Entering directory '/root/vmware/vmware-host-modules-player-12.5.9/vmmon-only' Using kernel build system. make -C /lib/modules/4.12.14-lp151.24-default/build/include/..

[opensuse] any significant difference between /etc/sysconfig/network/routes and /etc/sysconfig/network/ifroute-device ?
by Per Jessen 22 Apr '19

22 Apr '19

I've always used /etc/sysconfig/network/routes for configuring static routes (unless set up by dhcp). Yesterday I added a default ipv6 route to /etc/sysconfig/network/routes, and this seem to prevent the machine from even getting an ipv6 address. I moved the default route to /etc/sysconfig/network/ifroute-wlan0 instead, and then it worked. I'm just being curious, either solution is good. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (12.9°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] In seek of a working proxying/caching scheme for zypper updates
by Hans-Peter Jansen 22 Apr '19

22 Apr '19

Hi, anybody out there with a working caching scheme for zypper updates/upgrades? The problem is two-fold: for one, it needs to intercept https with all kinds of side effects, security implications, etc, and the other is the CDN (mirrorbrain). What I'm looking for is *not* a complete mirror, because this is overkill for small sites. It would be more in a fashion of a proxy, but should provide the cached packages in a human readable form as well. It would proxy zypper fetch requests in a CDN-server agnostic form, fetch the files, as zypper does, and deliver them the "last mile". That way, any (update) package would only be fetched once from upstream, and subsequent accesses are dealt with locally, much improving speed and reducing bandwidth needs. The human readable caching form would allow for some manual downgrades, if needed. As a bonus, some retention processing may limit storage needs. I've experimented with a squid helper already, https://github.com/frispete/ squid_dedup, but intercepting https isn't fun... Have you guys something up, that (at least partly) works that way? Per?

[opensuse] experience with dovecot search systems?
by L A Walsh 21 Apr '19

21 Apr '19

I note that dovecot has 3 different full text search methods one can use: dovecot23-fts-2.3.4.1-1.1.x86_64.rpm dovecot23-fts-lucene-2.3.4.1-1.1.x86_64.rpm dovecot23-fts-solr-2.3.4.1-1.1.x86_64.rpm dovecot23-fts-squat-2.3.4.1-1.1.x86_64.rpm Has anyone ever used any of these? I've no clue how one differs or is better than another. Thanks, -l -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Where can I find my stored Wifi-Passwords?
by Daniel Bauer 20 Apr '19

20 Apr '19

Hi everybody I use Opensuse 42.3, KDE 5.8.7 and connect to WiFis with Network-Manager. I want to connect to a WiFi from my mobile phone, but can't find the password. In network-Manager the password field has no "show password" checkbox. In KDE-Wallet I don't find any WiFi-entries. In the files in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/ there are no passwords... Where do they hide? Thanks!

[opensuse] x11vnc service suddenly died on me :-(
by Marc Chamberlin 17 Apr '19

17 Apr '19

Hello - I am running OpenSuSE Leap 15.0, with the KDE desktop using sddm as the display manager, on a number of systems to which I need VNC access to the real display :0 at all times. (I cannot use VNC in a mode where it brings up a log in prompt, I need access to the running display. I leave these systems running 24/7 under my log in account. Most of these run in remote places, running unattended, so it is not easily possible for me to interact with them directly. ) Nor is it an option to change the KDE desktop since I am not the only person accessing these remote systems via VNC and interacting with them, and the other users are NOT sophisticated Linux users and need the GUI support provided by KDE. Up until what appears to have been a recent update, I have had this working by running x11vnc as a service, on the remote systems, with the following setup - > # cat /etc/systemd/system/x11vnc.service > [Unit] > Description=X11VNC Service > > [Service] > Type=simple > ExecStart=/usr/bin/x11vnc -auth /home/marc/.Xauthority -display :0 > -forever -loop -noxdamage -repeat -rfbauth /etc/vncpasswd -o > /var/log/x11vnc.log -rfbport 5900 -noipv6 -shared > ExecStop=/usr/bin/x11vnc -R stop > Restart=on-failure > RestartSec=2 > User=root > Group=root > > [Install] > WantedBy=multi-user.target I am not sure how to display the contents of the .Xauthority file here as it appears to contain binary data but this cut/paste shows a little bit - > bigbang:/home/marc # cat .Xauthority > > linux-0per0MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1��4#��T�o~�;��6 > linux-1een0MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1��lQ��!�� > linux-8kpg0MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1bv"��d\�̙��bigbang1MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1�à��RŘ��R� > linux-13qd0MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-12�^��l��׋��'bigbang0MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1ǂ__z�e��!,�m� When I start the x11vnc service and then look at the x11vnc log file, I see something has gotten sick with connecting to DISPLAY :0 and the magic cookie stored in the .Xauthority file- > cat /var/log/x11vnc.log > 14/04/2019 07:34:23 passing arg to libvncserver: -rfbauth > 14/04/2019 07:34:23 passing arg to libvncserver: /etc/vncpasswd > 14/04/2019 07:34:23 passing arg to libvncserver: -rfbport > 14/04/2019 07:34:23 passing arg to libvncserver: 5900 > 14/04/2019 07:34:23 x11vnc version: 0.9.13 lastmod: 2011-08-10 pid: 3672 > Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 keyNo protocol specified > 14/04/2019 07:34:23 XOpenDisplay(":0") failed. > 14/04/2019 07:34:23 Trying again with XAUTHLOCALHOSTNAME=localhost ... > Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 keyNo protocol specified > > 14/04/2019 07:34:23 *************************************** > 14/04/2019 07:34:23 *** XOpenDisplay failed (:0) > > *** x11vnc was unable to open the X DISPLAY: ":0", it cannot continue. > *** There may be "Xlib:" error messages above with details about the > failure. > > Some tips and guidelines: I won't show all the tips and guidelines, but I think I am doing everything suggested...

[opensuse] Boot after fresh install fails with "no such device //efi/boot/fallback.efi"
by Andrei Verovski 17 Apr '19

17 Apr '19

Hi ! Its seems there is a strange installer bug in both Leap 15.0 and latest Tumblweed snapshot. Installation pattern: Launch installer from DVD, go with default options Expert partitioner -> Start with current proposal (SuSE installer suggests its own partitioning scheme and GPT partition map) Delete all partitions except EFI boot and bios_boot (EFI boot and bios_boot added automatically by installer) Create /swap 8GB, / ext4 80GB and the rest /home ext4 Install First boot fails with "no such device //efi/boot/fallback.efi" PC is HP Intel i5 with EFI boot. I have another HD with Linux which boots just fine on same PC (with EFI boot). Legacy boot is disabled in BIOS. Secure boot is disabled in BIOS. SSD with fresh SuSE install is being left as single disk, no dual boot, only DVD-RW attached to another SATA port. Thanks in advance.
