I'm trying to start spamd on Leap 15.1 - somehow systemd does not recognise it has been started and then kills it. # systemctl cat spamd [snip] [Service] Type=forking PIDFile=/var/run/spamd.pid ExecStartPre=/bin/bash -c "sa-update || true" EnvironmentFile=-/etc/sysconfig/spamd ExecStart=/usr/sbin/spamd $SPAMD_ARGS -r /var/run/spamd.pid ExecReload=/usr/bin/kill -HUP $MAINPID Seems to me the pidfile is fine ? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (29.0°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Leap + Tumbleweed + boot partition
by Stephen Berman 06 Jul '19

06 Jul '19

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?

[opensuse] Mounting a dead Android device
by Jon Cosby 05 Jul '19

05 Jul '19

Is there any way to mount a dead Android phone in Linux? I'm trying to recover somebody's data, and there are no backups. It's all on internal storage. I can find tools for doing this in Windows, but not on my Linux PC.

[opensuse] There is an ongoing attack on PGP that could affect us.
by Carlos E. R. 04 Jul '19

04 Jul '19

Hi What they do is sign a PGP key many thousand of times, increasing its size to megabytes. Tools like enigmail can not cope and crash. The key servers were designed to never delete anything, but obviously this attack (on just a few keys so far) overloads the system. If it spreads, it could potentially affect packaging and distribution of upgrades.

Well, the previous mail you sent to me only, you did not post to opensuse(a)opensuse.org. And this post also was not sent to the mail list, because you sent to @opensuse.com, not @opensuse.org. You are using Thunderbird. A button that says "Reply List" should be there, use it. Here is the missing post for the list: > >>> It is not a command.

[opensuse] who is eating (my) packets?
by Per Jessen 03 Jul '19

03 Jul '19

I think I need a second pair of eyes. We are migrating a somewhat complex cluster setup from openSUSE 11.0 32bit to Leap 15.1 64bit. Just for completeness, for the topic at hand I don't think it matters, except I sort of suspect a change in behaviour due to the big jump in kernel versions. Maybe some default setting I need to tweak. I won't try to describe the complete setup unless I have to - it's not secret, just slightly complex. On a cluster node (tattoo16) I try to initiate an outbound connection over 10.0.1.144/30 on an ipip device. I use telnet - when the first response comes back, it seems to "disappear". The response comes from the external host (public IP) to my ipip network 10.0.11.146. (on outgoing, it has been appropriately snat'ed). So far so good. I see the response using tcpdump - but it never gets back to telnet. I started adding some iptables rules to log it: -t filter INPUT - nothing. -t filter FORWARD - nothing. I did the same with the nat and mangle tables, never caught anything. Then I tried the "raw" table and voila! I see my response (as I see it with tcpdump). In summary - I see the response with tcpdump and in the "raw" table, where else can I look for this response packet? I expected it to turn up in INPUT, the rest I tried in pure desperation. I know someone is going to say "firewall" at some point - the firewall has plain ACCEPT rules for everything on the ipip devices. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (19.8°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] Mouse middle button
by sysek 01 Jul '19

01 Jul '19

Hello to everyone again. Dunno if I can write here with problems, but I didn't find any solutions anywhere. 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. I know that maybe silly but for me is very annoying. Maybe some met with that problem and can help? -- Cheers, MM -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
