[opensuse] OS LEAP on a USB stick
by David T-G 05 Mar '20

05 Mar '20

Hi, all -- I have a media server stuffed full of hard drives, and I have to date been using Knoppix with a Casper partition on a USB drive to run it. The idea was that 1) replacing the boot media should be easy (and I clone the stick to another every once in a while) and 2) upgrading should be easy (by just whipping up a fresh stick with the latest version and comparing my persistence partition files with the new fresh versions) while 3) maintenance should be simple. It's worked well enough so far, but ... I'm about to bring another server in-house, and I maybe want just a bit more than Knoppix, although I still won't have disk slots to spare. I need the simple stability of LEAP, which will of course get updates regularly anyway, and wonder about running on a thumb drive in the same way. This one will run MySQL/Maria, probably run a web server, and will handle email and need at least a basic forwarding MTA if not the real thing. I imagine that I'd want to run without swap (*gasp* yes, that discussion again ;-) and figure I'm stuck with content changes right in the live OS rather than in an overlay volume. Does that sound right, or is there a LEAP live image (no, I haven't gone looking yet) that can UNIONFS on top in the same way?

[opensuse] MIT-MAGIC COOKIE-1
by dieter.jurzitza＠t-online.de 04 Mar '20

04 Mar '20

Dear listmembers, I recently upgraded from 42.3 via 15.0 to 15.1 - so far, so good. I am currently facing one single problem you (might ...) be able to help me with: When deleting .Xauthority and re-logging in, everything is running fine. When I log in for a second time I always get such messages when starting programs from within an xterm: Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key and xauthresults in xauth> list <ABC>.<mydomain>.com/unix:0 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 65db7bfc71996ce5f85e255a52d13e70 <ABC>/unix:0 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 488c94f4a806b77dd0e34f1dcbc54545 xauth> when deleting Xauthority and logging in for the first time this problem does not show, I only see the first line containing "<ABC.domain.com>". Any hints/ ideas? Everything seems to work, however, I would love to get rid of this ... Thank you very much for looking into this, best Dieter Jurzitza -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] tumbleweed on nfs root - dracut has issues with /etc/services and /etc/protocols ?
by Per Jessen 03 Mar '20

03 Mar '20

I'm setting up some hardware for burn-in and wanted to install Tumbleweed on an NFS root. When trying to rebuild the initrd: https://files.jessen.ch/mm29-dracut-output.txt dracut-install: ERROR: installing '/etc/services' dracut-install: ERROR: installing '/etc/protocols' dracut: FAILED: /usr/lib/dracut/dracut-install -D /var/tmp/dracut.Lm1PZh/initramfs -a /etc/services /etc/nsswitch.conf /etc/rpc /etc/protocols /etc/idmapd.conf Command line is not complete. Try option "help" sed: can't read /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-: No such file or directory I thought someone might want to know. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (12.6°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] ext4lazyinit - must I wait?
by Daniel Bauer 03 Mar '20

03 Mar '20

I just inserted a new hard disk (6TB) in my Desktop-Computer and made a new encrypted partition using Yast. Now ext4lazyint runs and runs and runs... I read it is a background process that has to do with inodes. My questions are: - can I already use that disk (exactly to rsync 3TB of data to it) or must/should I wait until ext4lazyinit has terminated? - can I shut down the computer while this is still running? Or shouldn't I? Thanks.

[opensuse] Housekeeping functions
by Ianseeks 01 Mar '20

01 Mar '20

Hi For ordinary lazy users like me who are not interested in or capable of system admin as a daily chore, should there not be the possibility of a section in Yast2 or Systemsettings where some standard user friendly housekeeping functions (e.g. flushing tmp folders, vacuuming journals etc) could be activated/configured to run at startup/shutdown rather than have to scour the net for solutions. For many like me, the computer should be doing more work with stuff that could be automated. I've just hit the "system disk full" message when running "zypper", it would have been better if a "disk getting full" message was displayed at login so i could have dealt with it. Any thoughts? regards Ian -- opensuse:tumbleweed:20200214 Qt: 5.14.1 KDE Frameworks: 5.67.0 - KDE Plasma: 5.18.0 - kwin 5.18.0 kmail2 5.13.2 (19.12.2) - akonadiserver 5.13.2 (19.12.2) - Kernel: 5.5.2-1-default - xf86-video-nouveau: 1.0.15 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
