But I'm having trouble getting it to consistently occur. When it occurred in the same session I also saw popups concerning a kwin reset. So perhaps it is linked to compositor or window management issues. Or perhaps due to me switching to a text console to run htop. I now have a power monitor on the PC's wallplug so that when it happens I will return to see the power consumption at 125 W instead of the expected 65 W. Have you tried getting the locker to do less by setting a plain colour and or turning off the clock? When I set a plain colour I thought I'd fixed it, but it's more likely due to me logging out and logging in which would have reset kwin and the compositor. At the moment if I run the locker with no arguments its working fine with any settings I care to try: /usr/lib64/libexec/kscreenlocker_greet I wonder if there was some junk in a config file somewhere that all my playing has cleared. I noted you other message about it being a known fixed bug that may not actually be fixed. As the bug seems to be related to openGL, I might try the Display and Monitor - Compositor - Rendering backend options to see if that shakes things up a bit? That might cause more trouble I suppose. I'm totally grasping at straws here I'm afraid. I'm willing to try other experiments if it would help. Sorry to be the source of false hope.

[opensuse] intel opengl
by jdd＠dodin.org 24 Feb '20

24 Feb '20

Hello, I want to use a proprietary software (DaVinci Resolve). My ASUS N550JK is an optimus computer, but I never could make bumblebee work more than 10 mn long (during these minutes, resolve worked 5x faster than kdenlive, the reason why I would like to use it). Resolve works on a much less powerful computer with intel graphics and no optimus. On the ASUS, it ask for "an openCL interface". As far As I understand, Mesa openCL (and lib openCL) is installed. Is it possible to to hide completely the nvidia video part? Is there a chance intel driver can provide openCL? Note: I can't make bumblebee work right now, neither in openSUSE nor in ubuntu or the native resolve distro of choice centos, so using it is not a reasonable choice for the moment thanks jdd -- http://dodin.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Obsolete entry in fstab stalls booting
by zb4ng 22 Feb '20

22 Feb '20

Please note, that the problem at hand is already solved, but the underlying issue gets in my way from time to time, so I wanted to tell (or rant 😉) about it. Two days ago, I wasn't able to boot my system (LEAP 15.1): X-Server didn't start and I could only log into maintenance mode with no network either. First, I suspected a botched update, but the kernel-firmware was updated a couple of days before and I had successfully booted in the mean time. So, I was dumbfounded, but then I remembered to look into /etc/fstab and found an entry of a USB drive that I had plugged in and removed. I deleted said entry and LEAP booted just fine. My point is: maybe the maintainers could help to avoid this situation: Please, don't break the boot process if some malfunctioning but unimportant entry in fstab doesn't work! Or at least, make it easier for the user to find out what is going wrong. I had similar issues multiple times over the past years and sometimes it took me quite a time to figure them out.

[opensuse] TW observations
by Per Jessen 21 Feb '20

21 Feb '20

I have not installed a new Tumbleweed in years. Today I was prep'ing a new machine for our datacenter console, and decided I might as well use Tumbleweed. In yast ncurses, I was surprised to see - a) to change to wicked I have to tab into the option, it is not available with keyboard shortcuts under Change->Network Config. b) that predictable interface names were used by default (easily changed, I know). c) at the end of installation, a pop-up window with no timer ? That one meant a bit more exercise for me - I saw the installation drawing to a close, so I left my office to walk to the datacentre and see the box boot-up. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (8.2°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - virtual servers, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] What process/program handles file system use?
by Istvan Gabor 20 Feb '20

20 Feb '20

Hello: In the thread of my previous question on "usable free space on an ext4 file system" I wrote that I could not fill the available free space with one big file. In openSUSE 13.1 I can not copy one big file to fill the available free space. I found that in openSUSE Leap 15.1 I can copy the same file to fill the available space, using the very same partition. When I want to copy the file the system says there is no space left on the device. Some file is copied partially. In this case df reports that the available space is 0. If I umount the file system and mount it again, df reports that the available space is 55K. I find it srange. Maybe it is a silly question, but I would like to know what process or program handles file systems and their use (used space, available space). Is it the kernel or mount program or somethging else?

[opensuse] creating symlinks for all files in directory recursively in specified directory

Hello: I tried to summarize in the subject what I'd like to do: I want to create symlinks for all the files within a folder recursively with the symlinks to be in one directory.

[opensuse] browser and passwords and RSA, oh my.
by Roger Oberholtzer 20 Feb '20

20 Feb '20

I have a very unusual situation. I am trying to log in to a web site (https://www.zf-laser.com if you are curious) from either Firefox (72.0.2) or Chrome (79.0.3945.130) on Tumbleweed. I enter the password, but it is not accepted. Both browsers change the password I have entered into a long string that starts with "rsa:". I am guessing this is what they send. And, when Firefox offers to keep the password, I see that it is this same altered string, not the one I entered. I can log in to other sites (e.g. OBS). But not this one. I have no idea what is happening. Especially since both browsers do the same thing. Any ideas? A Google search did not seem to me to show anything related to this. Just stuff generally about RSA and passwords in browsers. -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] checking if patches for spectre, meltdown etc are applied or not ?
by Per Jessen 19 Feb '20

We have a customer for whom we manage a number of boxes - they are used for some hpc app, molecular modelling or some such, I'm not sure. This morning I was asked if these systems have the mitigation patches for Spectre, Meltdown etc applied. Apparently these patches have measureable performance impact - the next question was: if they are applied, can we have them un-applied?

[opensuse] usable free space on an ext4 file system
by Istvan Gabor 17 Feb '20

17 Feb '20

Hello: I would like to find out how much space is available for a regular user on an ext4 file system. If I know correctly the system reserves some space (~5%) for root only acces. I made a ~100 M ext4 file system for testing, and would like to find out how much space is available for a user. tune2fs shows this: # tune2fs -l /dev/sdc1 tune2fs 1.42.8 (20-Jun-2013) Filesystem volume name: <none> Last mounted on: /mnt1 Filesystem UUID: 740ccbf0-da58-4f69-80cc-bc48396345ce Filesystem magic number: 0xEF53 Filesystem revision #: 1 (dynamic) Filesystem features: has_journal ext_attr resize_inode dir_index filetype needs_recovery extent flex_bg sparse_super huge_file uninit_bg dir_nlink extra_isize Filesystem flags: signed_directory_hash Default mount options: user_xattr acl Filesystem state: clean Errors behavior: Continue Filesystem OS type: Linux Inode count: 24096 Block count: 96356 Reserved block count: 4817 Free blocks: 87661 Free inodes: 24085 First block: 1 Block size: 1024 Fragment size: 1024 Reserved GDT blocks: 256 Blocks per group: 8192 Fragments per group: 8192 Inodes per group: 2008 Inode blocks per group: 251 Flex block group size: 16 Filesystem created: Thu Feb 13 20:18:41 2020 Last mount time: Thu Feb 13 20:18:55 2020 Last write time: Thu Feb 13 20:18:55 2020 Mount count: 1 Maximum mount count: -1 Last checked: Thu Feb 13 20:18:41 2020 Check interval: 0 (<none>) Lifetime writes: 4483 kB Reserved blocks uid: 0 (user root) Reserved blocks gid: 0 (group root) First inode: 11 Inode size: 128 Journal inode: 8 Default directory hash: half_md4 Directory Hash Seed: 5a3a878d-c9e3-4e36-b939-1ca844f69f0c Journal backup: inode blocks df shows this: # df /dev/sdc1 Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/sdc1 89211 1551 80916 2% /mnt1 If I sum the numbers they don't match, eg. df's 1551+80916 does not give 89211. Furthermore tune2fs' block count is 96356, differs from the above too. If I add tune2fs' reserved and free block (4817+87661) it doesn't give 96356.

[opensuse] How to make sure that each vNIC in guest is always associated with a correct VLAN?
by Martin T 17 Feb '20

17 Feb '20

Hi, I have six virtual bridges in xen host machine and following virtual machine configuration file section defining the vifs: vif = [ 'bridge=br10', 'bridge=br20', 'bridge=br30', 'bridge=br40', 'bridge=br50', 'bridge=br60' ] This means that in the guest(openSUSE Leap 42.1) I have six vNICs(eth0 - eth5). Can I be sure that eth0 is always connected to br10, eth1 to br20, etc? Or should I specify a MAC address for each vNIC created like this: vif = [ 'bridge=br10, mac=00:14:5E:11:C6:F1', 'bridge=br20, mac=00:14:5E:11:C6:F2', 'bridge=br30, mac=00:14:5E:11:C6:F3', 'bridge=br40, mac=00:14:5E:11:C6:F4', 'bridge=br50, mac=00:14:5E:11:C6:F5', 'bridge=br60, mac=00:14:5E:11:C6:F6' ] .. and then configure udev rules which make sure that interface associated with MAC 00:14:5E:11:C6:F1 and br10 is always named eth0, interface associated with MAC 00:14:5E:11:C6:F2 and br20 is always named eth1, etc? Or maybe there is a better way using /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-* files? thanks, Martin -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Referring to the FWUPD 1.3.8 (mentioned on Phoronix)
by stakanov 15 Feb '20

https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Fwupd-1.3.8-Released There they give the command: cat /sys/class/block/sd*/device/model to be run and report the result. I am puzzled about what the information would be (in case all goes well). For me, I have a Samsung 850 Pro (with obviously another firmware than the other Samsung SSD 850 EVO. Now one would expect to get a list of: firmware version, serial number etc. Instead the result with me is: cat /sys/class/block/sd*/device/model Samsung SSD 850 Oops, this does not even make clear which 850 SSD this is, EVO or PRO. Is this intended? If yes, I do not have twitter. Do you happen to know by chance how to report back?

Dear all, In the last few days there was a big TW upgrade with more than 1300 items. I am glad, I could reboot. But... My laptop says it removed thunderbird. Well, then let's reinstall it. It says it is already installed and nothing to be done. Then let's remove it. It says there is no such software. I tried to change from CLI zypper (zypper -f did not work either) to Yast, I failed, because neither Yast nor Yast2 worked, missing some modules. I tried to save some documents, it insisted to put them in temp. I tried to run zypper dup several times, with minor success. these processes always began with trying to remove cyrus* packages that could not be done because they are not installed - said zypper. i use TW with KDE Please help, where should I begin to tidy up things?

[opensuse] Thunderbird memory usage has increased

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, Since two or three updates, Thunderbird has gone up in memory usage.

[opensuse] Printing a PDF from Libreoffice and from Ocular
by Basil Chupin 10 Feb '20

10 Feb '20

What is the trick to be able to successfully print a PDF file from (a) Ocular and (b) from Libreoffice? The question really relates to the the selection of page numbers when printing a range of pages. For example, I opened a PDF file in ocular and selected a range of pages to print --eg, 53 to 85 but the printing started from page 42 (I watched as the pages were being printed so stopped the job before too many pages [and ink] were wasted. The same happened (but with a different PDF file) when the file was opened in Libreoffice. At the bottom of the displayed page it shows the correct page number as the start page for the pp range I want to print but the printing begins from a different page (similar to the experience with Ocular). I also notice that with Libreoffice the left hand column displays a 'slideshow' page number but using these page numbers produced even mare wasted paper. The question therefore is: is there a "trick" in selecting the correct starting/ending pages to be printed when a PDF file is opened in either Ocular or LibreOffice? All help most appreciated.

[opensuse] Problem with Btrfs - it thinks disk is full
by Vojtěch Zeisek 10 Feb '20

10 Feb '20

Hi, I installed twice new TW system (once after replacement of disk) using TW snapshot 20200205 image. Installation went fine, but on running system I repeatedly run into problems with 'df -h' showing no space available, but 'sudo btrfs fi show /' correctly showing plenty of space. The answer is in 'sudo btrfs fi df /' showing I'm (nearly) running out of space of Metadata: $ df -h Souborový systém Velikost Užito Volno Uži% Připojeno do devtmpfs 12G 0 12G 0% /dev tmpfs 12G 111M 12G 1% /dev/shm tmpfs 12G 1,7M 12G 1% /run tmpfs 12G 0 12G 0% /sys/fs/cgroup /dev/mapper/pocitac-koren 3,5T 759G 0 100% / /dev/mapper/pocitac-koren 3,5T 759G 0 100% /.snapshots /dev/mapper/pocitac-koren 3,5T 759G 0 100% /boot/grub2/x86_64-efi /dev/mapper/pocitac-koren 3,5T 759G 0 100% /opt /dev/mapper/pocitac-koren 3,5T 759G 0 100% /boot/grub2/i386-pc /dev/mapper/pocitac-koren 3,5T 759G 0 100% /root /dev/mapper/pocitac-koren 3,5T 759G 0 100% /usr/local /dev/mapper/pocitac-koren 3,5T 759G 0 100% /tmp /dev/mapper/pocitac-koren 3,5T 759G 0 100% /var /dev/mapper/pocitac-koren 3,5T 759G 0 100% /home /dev/mapper/pocitac-koren 3,5T 759G 0 100% /srv /dev/sda1 300M 8,1M 292M 3% /boot/efi tmpfs 2,4G 0 2,4G 0% /run/user/65534 tmpfs 2,4G 16K 2,4G 1% /run/user/1000 $ sudo btrfs fi show / Label: 'korinek' uuid: df8db051-fb0b-4d70-b4cb-3126d757f544 Total devices 1 FS bytes used 758.09GiB devid 1 size 3.48TiB used 760.03GiB path /dev/mapper/pocitac-koren $ sudo btrfs fi df / [sudo] heslo pro root: Data, single: total=757.00GiB, used=755.49GiB System, single: total=32.00MiB, used=112.00KiB Metadata, single: total=3.00GiB, used=2.57GiB GlobalReserve, single: total=512.00MiB, used=0.00B The numbers keep changing, so it's not super up-to-date, but I hope the problem is obvious. Fix is possible by using 'sudo btrfs balance start /' - it usually enlarges limit for Metadata. I never had such issue on older system (updated to the same TW snapshot), but I keep having it regularly on new installs. Is it some known bug with Btrfs, or should I report it?

[opensuse] Nextcloud client
by jdd＠dodin.org 08 Feb '20

08 Feb '20

Hello, I use Nextcloud client on openSUSE 15.1 plasma (kde) I plan to use Nextcloud pretty extensively as I just setup a personal server with lot of disk space. but, right now, when I add anything on my Nextcloud account, it's downloaded on my laptop disk. When it was only 10Gb, I could cope with it. of course I can simply use the web interface, but the kde integration is so good I would like to keep it. is it possible to setup the Nextcloud client so that it only keep a link to the server (like the android client does) and download only on demand? thanks jdd -- http://dodin.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
