[opensuse] libc segfaults attaching an iPad

I just tried to attach an iPad to my openSUSE 15.0 system, via USB. I think I've done it before, but this time it fails.

[opensuse] Raid, Raid6, what file system for good fault tolerance?

by cagsm

Hi list, speaking about software raid, not hardware controller based. I am trying to go for some local OpenSuse machine and adding some storage to it. Was considering Raid6, and now reading about a bit and people left and right scaremongering about the larger the disks these days in the double digit terabyte capacities even, the more likely it is that during a reconstruction of a raid subsequent errors would occur. I would absolutely like to keep my data consistent, and I am not thinking about double digit terabytes either, would stick to 2TB or 4TB disks, with Raid6 thats at least 4 physical drives. Now I am wondering if it possible to use a good robust file system that can add some more parity or check blocks or redundancy on top of the hardware disks, to absolutely be able to always read my data. I can't add multiple machines or like those high availability stuff like clusters and what not I read about DRBD (Distributed Replicated Block Device), or maybe I am just too scared by those technical terms or consider myself to be just a simpleton and wanting to keep it rather simple. My use case here is also not constant availablity, when a disk needs to be replaced, so be it, but I don't want to lose my data that I can not ever read certain parts of it again or such stuff. The thing that came to my mind was, if there is some file systems that would add redundancy and robustness onto the mdraid system of the linux kernel? Anyone with some useful insights? Roughly speaking, I was considering some simple pcie esata interfaced controller card and an external case enclosure with esata port and portmulitplier stuff inside, that can present at least 4 physical disks as JBOD, just a bunch of disks, so that the Linux can seem them all separately. Speed and rebuild times are not my concern, but data persistence and data integrity. Not even number of physical disks, I could live with even one of those 8 bay device enclosures and cases that are out there on the market. Thanks for any help and hints. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Epson Inkjet Printer can't connect

by Doug McGarrett

Re: Tumbleweed: I have an Epson WP-4530 all-in-one printer/copier/scanner. The Driver is available in /usr/etcetera, and Yast claims to have installed it, and if I try to print something, the Epson is shown as a choice, but nothing happens. If I try to use XSane, a message tells me it can't find a device. Meanwhile, an HP LaserJet Pro is found and prints perfectly. But it can't scan or print in color. I've gotten used to Tumbleweed and I like it, but why won't it print?

[opensuse] 15.1 LXQt - what camera app/picture viewer

by Felix Miata

PhotoQT opens to black screen with a very generic looking panel icon, and no discernable way to open any images or camera. LXImage seems too simple, no apparent way to get pix from a Camera. YaST2 doesn't make it too easy to find a Camera app, at least, not a non-GTK-based one. KDE's Digikam requires KF5Contacts, which seems like an address book thingie I shouldn't need to have cluttering this simple installation. Any suggestions? -- Evolution as taught in public schools is religion, not science. Team OS/2 ** Reg. Linux User #211409 ** a11y rocks!

[opensuse] Leap + Tumbleweed + boot partition

by Stephen Berman

I bought a computer with Leap 15.0 preinstalled on an SSD, and I also wanted to install Tumbleweed on the disk. For reasons detailed below, I did this without installing a bootloader for Tumbleweed, but since Tumbleweed is frequently updated, including grub2, I think it would be better to install the bootloader in Tumbleweed. Due to my lack of knowledge, I would be grateful for advice on how to do that safely. Some specifics follow about the disk and what I did to install Tumbleweed. The SSD had three partitions: /boot, / (root) and swap. I shrank the root partition (formatted as ext4) and added a btrfs partition for Tumbleweed. I first left /boot and swap as is, but the Tumbleweed installer said there was no bootable partition (I don't remember the exact wording, something like no BIOS boot table). I then tried deleting the /boot partition and adding it again, selecting "BIOS Boot" as the partition ID, but the installer still said there was no bootable partition. I also tried different file systems to format /boot -- originally it was FAT and I also tried XFS and ext3 -- but that made no difference. So finally, I left the /boot partition unchanged but unmounted it and proceeded with the installation. At the summary I then changed the boot setup to prevent any boot loader being installed and any changes made to the MBR. The installer said I might end up with an unbootable system, but I went ahead anyway. The installation completed and on rebooting the boot screen showed only Leap 15.0 as before, but after running grub2-mkconfig in Leap, Tumbleweed was found and I could boot it and it seems to be fine. The disk has GPT with protective MBR. As noted the /boot partition is formatted as FAT and also contains a directory efi, which is populated in the running Leap, which mounts /boot/efi, but in the running Tumbleweed, where /boot is not a separate partition, after mounting the partition Leap sees as /boot/efi, the efi directory is empty (in the running Tumbleweed). I do not plan to install any MS-Windows system, but I do plan to install other Linux-based systems besides Tumbleweed, and possibly a *BSD system. How can I install the bootloader in Tumbleweed -- either from the currently installed Tumbleweed or by reinstalling it -- without risking making both Tumbleweed and Leap unbootable? If that requires deleting the existing /boot partition and add it anew, is it necessary, given the systems I plan to install, to have the efi directory, and if so, do I just have to make /boot/efi a mountpoint, and if not, what else to I need to do to make sure it exists and gets populated as required (if it's required)? And if the efi directory is not needed, what would be the recommended file system for the boot partition? I also have a question concerning having a separate /boot partition shared by Leap, Tumbleweed and any other systems I install: in each system the directory /boot contains versioned files of the kernel, config, etc., but there are also symlinks vmlinuz and initrd pointing to the latest version installed in the system; if Leap and Tumbleweed (and other Linux-based systems) populate the same /boot directory, the last one installed would override existing symlinks, so I don't see how this can work. Is it possible for different systems to use the same /boot directory, installed on a separate partition, and if not, where do the files used for booting different systems need to go, when a separate /boot partition is used?

I have openSuSE 15.1 with xfce4 but I have no idea why the middle button doesn't work in Linux. I tested mouse with work laptop (Windows 10) and works. On my personal PC doesn't.
