[opensuse] libreoffice LibreLogo macro bug
by Dave Howorth 06 Aug '19

06 Aug '19

There's apparently a bug in LO that can run arbitrary code. https://www.theregister.co.uk/2019/07/30/libreoffice_macro_virus/ Does anybody know whether this has been or will be patched for Leap 15.0 (LO 6.1.5.2)/ i.e. an openSUSE back patch since LO aren't fixing AIUI. LibreLogo appears to be part of the libreoffice-pyuno package. Is there any way to disable it, or just remove the /usr/lib64/libreoffice/share/Scripts/python/LibreLogo directory?

[opensuse] rsync --exclude --include question
by Carlos E. R. 06 Aug '19

06 Aug '19

I have: OPTIONS="--archive --acls --xattrs --hard-links --sparse --stats --human-readable " rsync $OPTIONS --password-file /root/cripta/keys/rsync.secrets \ --exclude=/lost+found --exclude=/dev --exclude=/sys --exclude=/proc --exclude=/run \ --exclude=/data --exclude=/mnt --exclude=/other --exclude=/media --exclude=/var/lib/samba/lock/ --exclude=/var/run/ \ --include=/data/storage_** \ / root@Isengard::MyBook_Telcontar/001 It is failing, /data/storage_** is not included. What is the proper way in this tree: /data/something/* /data/somethingelse/* /data/somethingmore/* /data/somethingevenmore/* /data/storage_a/* /data/storage_b/* to copy /data/storage_a, /data/storage_b, and ignore all the rest, without explicitly listing all the rest? I thought that --exclude=/data --include=/data/storage_** would do it. The manual is very confusing to me. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.0 x86_64 at Telcontar)

[opensuse] btrfs compression report - how do I interpret it?
by Carlos E. R. 05 Aug '19

05 Aug '19

As commented on another post, I have done a backup of my main computer using rsync to another machine with a btrfs formatted hard disk of 8TB. Mounted with compression. Info: <https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Compression> Isengard:~ # mount -v | grep btrfs /dev/mapper/cr_my_book_tlcntr on /mnt/BookTelcontar type btrfs (rw,relatime,lazytime,compress=zlib,space_cache,subvolid=5,subvol=/) Isengard:~ # Finally, I have found "compsize" - maybe I mistyped the name before: +++............... How can I determine compressed size of a file? compsize takes a list of files on a btrfs filesystem and measures used compression types and effective compression ratio: https://github.com/kilobyte/compsize There is a patch adding support fort that, currently it's not merged. You can kind of guess at its compressed size by comparing the output from the df command before and after writing a file, if this is available to you. ...............++- This is the report: Isengard:~ # time compsize --bytes /mnt/BookTelcontar/001/ Processed 3415745 files, 7871897 regular extents (8084571 refs), 1896373 inline.

[opensuse] Kmail message decryption fails on large messages
by Tobias 05 Aug '19

05 Aug '19

Hello, I am using kmail on tumbleweed and experience this strange behavior: When I get very large encrypted text-only emails (> 1mb ) kmail fails to decrypt them. "Please wait while the message is being decrypted..." is being shown forever (kmail does not crash, though). Decryption of smaller emails or emails with attachments (can be larger) from same or other senders is no problem. Also decryption of the same messages with thunderbird/enigmail or with evolution is no problem. And of course saving the gpg encrypted part and manually decrypting it works as well. Any ideas what might cause this problem? Thank you, Tobias -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] media check errors
by gumb 04 Aug '19

04 Aug '19

Installing Leap 15.1 on a new machine, and for the first time ever I'm using USB instead of DVD (since there is no optical drive). I've downloaded the ISO, first by torrent, run sha256sum in the terminal, all is good. When I start the installation, by force of habit I go to the extra menu and choose media check. Whether that is designed for USB as well as DVD I don't know, but it starts off anyway. To my surprise, when it finishes it says there is an error. Back on the Leap 42.3 machine that I downloaded the ISO on, I decide to go into YaST > Software > Media Check, then Check ISO File... (on the ISO file on hard disk, not the USB stick). It also produces an error: Medium: DVD1 Size: 3961474 kB Result: sha256sum wrong I downloaded it again, direct this time instead of torrent. Ran sha256sum in the terminal, all fine. Ran the YaST Media Check again. Same error. WTF? Should I proceed with installation? (I'm going to anyway because this seems like horseclod, but why does it happen?) gumb -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Unable to mount /dev/sr0
by JD 04 Aug '19

Leap 15.1-1 I inserted a DVD into the dvd drive, and waited to see if it would auto-mount. It did not get automounted So, I sudo mount -t iso9660 /dev/sr0 /mnt/sr0 mount: /mnt/sr0: no medium found on /dev/sr0 Yet the dvd plays on ordinary DVD player connected to TV. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] cpulimit question
by Carlos E. R. 04 Aug '19

04 Aug '19

Hi, In the past I have used cpulimit to limit the CPU percent used by a process. But I'm having dificulties. AME cpulimit -- limits the CPU usage of a process SYNOPSIS cpulimit [TARGET] [OPTIONS...] [ -- PROGRAM] DESCRIPTION TARGET must be exactly one of these: -p, --pid=N pid of the process -e, --exe=FILE name of the executable program file -P, --path=PATH absolute path name of the executable program file ... So I do: Isengard:~ # ps afxu | grep rsyncd root 10824 0.0 0.0 7432 812 pts/29 S+ 13:57 0:00 \_ grep --color=auto rsyncd root 4781 0.0 0.0 24584 760 ? Ss Aug01 0:00 /usr/sbin/rsyncd --daemon --no-detach root 8501 0.6 0.0 97452 4788 ? S 12:37 0:32 \_ /usr/sbin/rsyncd --daemon --no-detach root 8502 88.8 0.0 153260 5968 ? R 12:37 70:42 \_ /usr/sbin/rsyncd --daemon --no-detach Isengard:~ # cpulimit -e rsyncd -l 90 Warning: no target process found. Waiting for it... ^CExiting... Isengard:~ # cpulimit -p 8502 -l 90 Process 8502 detected Why doesn't it act on the process by name "rsyncd"? It is obviously in the list of processes. And I'm root. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

[opensuse] Another couple of curious things with KDE - 15.1
by James Knott 02 Aug '19

02 Aug '19

One recent issue with KDE is when I click on a task bar item to select from several open windows for an app, sometimes I only get a few out of dozen or so open windows. On occasion, those few will have a large blank area down to the other task bar. Clicking again will present the entire list. The other thing that's been happening for quite some time is pressing Alt-F2 does not open the box for entering a command. The only way I've found to clear this is to log out & back in. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
