[opensuse] Repository keys and config management
by Ansgar Esztermann-Kirchner 20 May '20

20 May '20

Hello List, I'm just wondering how you deal with GPG keys when using config management. In my case, that's CFEngine, but I guess the issue would be quite similar with Puppet, Chef, or whatever you happen to be using. I can add required repositories simply by copying the .repo to /etc/zypp/repos.d. I can then install any packages via zypper, but only after the appropriate public key has been installed. Right now, I do this in a semi-manual way: The .repo and the packages are handled by CFEngine, but I need to call zypper ref once per machine and repository in order to import the key. This is feasible (but not elegant) because machines are installed with a fairly complete set of repositories from an image, and "extra" repositories typically are required only on a handful of clients. A solution I'd prefer woul look like this: -download the pubkey, once, on the policy server; -distribute it to the clients using CFEngine; -install away, again using CFE. Is there any way to do that? Thanks, A. -- Ansgar Esztermann Sysadmin Dep. Theoretical and Computational Biophysics http://www.mpibpc.mpg.de/grubmueller/esztermann

[opensuse] Lost audio while playing with icons
by Doug McGarrett 19 May '20

19 May '20

OpenSuse Tumbleweed. I have tried every combination of Pulse Audio I can think of, and the sound is gone, even tho in some cases I can see the VU bar hopping along with the input audio. And the bar underneath it is reading silence. Well that's what I'm getting! Using YouTube as a source. This worked yesterday! someone please tell me the secret of Pulse Audio. I seem to remember some time ago (in a different Linux system) there were several large windows opening to PA, but I don't see a way to get to them anymore. Just two--one on the right, one on the left, not many choices altogether. There must be some PA Maven out there--HELP! --doug -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Thunderbird does seem slugish (rantish)

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, Well, here I am with a big desktop new computer. I have 32 gigs of ram, an AMD Ryzen 5 3600X 6-Core Processor, a Radeon RX 580 graphics card, and after 8 days of use Thunderbird does seem sluggish. top output: top - 22:19:26 up 8 days, 11:12, 2 users, load average: 1,63, 1,44, 0,83 Tasks: 575 total, 1 running, 573 sleeping, 0 stopped, 1 zombie %Cpu(s): 0,6 us, 0,2 sy, 0,0 ni, 99,1 id, 0,0 wa, 0,0 hi, 0,0 si, 0,0 st KiB Mem : 32876712 total, 2216932 free, 13011280 used, 17648500 buff/cache KiB Swap: 10485760+total, 10453939+free, 318208 used. 18559720 avail Mem PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR SWAP S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 5234 cer 20 0 7705532 4,235g 163400 0 D 2,985 13,51 376:07.07 thunderbird-bin As you can see, Th is using the absurd amount of 4.2 gigs of ram.

Further info: looking up Permissions on the icon (which is still on the desktop, btw) says "This file is a link and does not have permissions." But it does say User: root Group: root. I'll dig into this further as time and interest permit. As it happens, the system is in flux right now with the icon problem, so this will have to wait. It's not hurting anything, AFAIK. --doug -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

You could do "ls -la | less" and verify that all files are like these: drwxr-xr-x 1 doug users 3444 May 8 19:42 Downloads - -rw-r--r-- 1 doug users 383 Aug 4 2019 Epson_downloads with none that says "root".

[opensuse] Icons still gone
by Doug McGarrett 16 May '20

16 May '20

As requested, I detailed the situation leading up to the loss of icons in a separate message. I don't know how the icons are attached to the application names on the KDE screen, but there should be some way to reattach them. If there is not a blanket fix, I am willing to do each one separately until I get them all back. Someone will have to tell me how. Please help. --doug -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
