[opensuse] qemu guest network bridged
by Richmond 28 Jan '20

28 Jan '20

Is there a simple way to get a bridged network for the qemu guest? From what I have read this should work: qemu-system-x86_64 -machine pc VirtualBox\ VMs/debian/debian.vdi -boot c -enable-kvm -m 1024 -nic tap qemu-system-x86_64: could not configure /dev/net/tun: Operation not permitted Other things I have tried allow me to start the machine but there is no networking. I have tried both wired and wireless on the host (and in fact at the moment I have both, I am not sure how that works). I normally use virtual box but it doesn't seem to work with kernel 5, which I am using to get around a problem with suspend on kernel 4. :/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Zypper up negative repository
by Anton Aylward 28 Jan '20

28 Jan '20

Yes, I know, I've asked before, SUBJ="How to exclude sites from Zypper?" I'm fed up with single digit KiB/s rates where I can't even download a new kernel overnight! Patrick has described here how to add lines to a /etc/zypp/repo/<file>.repo to give specific repository sites to use. baseurl=<LIST OF REPOSITORY SITES> That's all well and good IF AND ONLY IF you have a positive site to list. I seem only to run ones that are slow. Oh, they ping close enough, but download slow. I can see them using netstat to find what I'm being connected to. So I can learn what NOT to connect to, what the slow servers are, regardless of geolocation. Past correspondence on this subject ended up with: >> The official procedure is to report that mirror to the admin at >> opensuse. > > It's certainly worth a try, we have had issues with the geolocation, but > we can't do much about lack of bandwidth or peering. But how can I use something like Patrick's trick to say DON"T GO THERE as opposed to the "DO" ?? -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Using grub2 in a separate boot partition outside of the btrfs volume to boot the opensuse.
by Hongyi Zhao 27 Jan '20

27 Jan '20

Hi, I installed the latest opensuse leap 15.1 with the default btrfs filesystem. But I want to boot it from outside the btrfs volume with grub2 which is located on a separated boot partition. I tried many times, but still cannot figure it out. On the other hand, the refind boot manager can automatically detect the opensuse and boot it. Any hints / notes for my issue? Is it possible to boot opensuse on the btrfs with grub2 outside the btrfs?

[opensuse] Migrating software mdraid Raid1 data partition only to larger physical disks?
by cagsm 26 Jan '20

26 Jan '20

Hello fellow lists dwellers, trying to plan and make decisions about migrating a simple, currently two disk sata Raid1 with only a single data partition on it. Created during initial install time of some openSuSE early leap or even earlier times, some years ago in the past. I am not booting off that Raid1, mdraid that is, md127 or something got created by some opensuse installer back then. Methinks I even read about some bugzilla entries at opensuse about why it was called md127 instead of md0 and md1 and such low numbers. Never gotten fixed or settled or I never cared about its name. Also, no LVM here or that kind of stuff, never managed to wrap my head around it, dont know if its even state of the art or necessary for my basic needs. Need data redundancy for a simple data store for files. Found some nice article: <https://zedt.eu/tech/linux/migrating-existing-raid1-volumes-bigger-drives/> System is currently on Leap 15.1 level. Is it advised to use built-in means to go about such a task? Does yast partition and disk tools support adding these things and migrating data over to larger physical disks etc at a sufficient technical level so that everything works fine? I also read in various other articles about partition and data alignment woes, about partition identifiers and whatnot, and wonder if built-in stuff of Leap 15.1 suffices for my basic needs and expansion idea of my physical disks? Thanks for any further pointers and ideas or suggestions what to take into consideration?

[opensuse] wine 5.0 - "Mono missing"
by Daniel Bauer 26 Jan '20

26 Jan '20

Hi, reading another thread about wine 5 i got curious and installed it. Then I wanted to run a window program xxxinstaller.exe. Wine started but then showed a message that wine-mono is missing. I checked, and it is installed, but it seems wine doesn't find it. What can I do?

[opensuse] Kubic....?
by Mathias Homann 23 Jan '20

23 Jan '20

Hey all, has anyone tried Kubic yet? I've tried to install a Kubic master in a VM (KVM - virt manager) and it failed to even create a partition layout... not exactly inspiring. Is there any documentation for it that isn't outdated? and NO, I'm not volunteering to write it - i believe in documentation that is written by people who know the topic...

I have a Dell XPS L701X. Bluetooth is enabled in BIOS settings but opensuse says there is no bluetooth device. I cannot find a bluetooth setting in Yast.
