[opensuse] reading timezone files
by Dave Howorth 13 Sep '20

13 Sep '20

Is there a utility to let me read a timezone file? e.g. /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/London is a binary file containing information about the London timezone. Is there anything that will read that file an output its contents in a readable format?

[opensuse] Question about gparted and usb stick
by Carlos E. R. 12 Sep '20

12 Sep '20

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, The other day I had to use a 32GB usb stick to put the Leap iso on it, for lack of a smaller stick. Now I'm formatting back the stick, so I fired up gparted, and looked at the posibilities. fat16 limits at 4GB, so no. fat32 would be the normal choice. But "exfat" is greyed out - why? Perhaps a newer version of gparted (I'm on Leap 15.1)? I did it manually: Telcontar:~ # mkfs.exfat -n Toshiba32 /dev/sde1 mkexfatfs 1.2.8 Creating... done. Flushing... done.

[opensuse] Disk cloning with ddrescue (gnu)

A lot, for a disk with no errors found. ddrescue said initially (yesterday night) that it would take 5:45 hours. This morning it was still running: it said 7 minutes remaining, it took about 14. The thing is, I could see in gkrellm that ddrescue was alternating reading from one disk and writing on the other, instead of doing it simultaneously. Why? :-o I would understand that when it finds a read error it drops to alternating the operations, but when there is no problem, why? If a disk is prone to failure, the longer it takes, the danger increases, right? -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.

[opensuse] Are new post-install hooks causing rpm to run after reboot?
by David C. Rankin 11 Sep '20

11 Sep '20

All, After updates today, the computer(s) were extremely slow after reboot. So being curious I launched top to find out what was grinding away. To my surprise, rpm was the main culprit, just churning away for the first few minutes after reboot -- along with a grub install. What is rpm doing running? Why was the grub install and grub-mkconfig not run by dracut prior to reboot? -- David C.

[opensuse] Python: OBS vs PIP
by Roger Oberholtzer 10 Sep '20

10 Sep '20

I am trying to get tensorflow and related packages installed on openSUSE Leap 15.1 and/or Tumbleweed. We have a package from a consulting company who have developed with tensorflow 1.14, but OBS has only 1.15. Seems this is not compatible. I can install tensorflow via zypper or pip3. It seems they install the same version, which looks to be the version in OBS. My question is: what is the relationship between packages built in OBS and that are also available via pip3? I looked around in the openSUSE docs and there is lots on how best to build a package on OBS (via py2pack that looks very useful!). But that is from the developer's view. What about from the package user's view? Most Python packages have a setup functionality that get the needed bits via pip. Is that effectively just getting thighs from OBS? The reason I used tensorflow as an example is that for many systems (Ubuntu as an example) older versions of packages seem to be available via pip. Is the reason that I do not see older versions of tensorflow for openSUSE in pip because these older versions are no longer available in OBS? -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

What flavor would you use on a server that serves files (I would not think that an uncommon usage for a server). I use my server to serv ALL of my files except programs. Looking through my videos, the most demanding I have now at 1080p with DTS HD 5.1 w/ multiaudio, needs 38Mbps. It is an 8-bit encoding I'd say that works comfortably with a PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY, however, about 7-10 years ago, **PREEMPT_NONE** **failed** **frequently**, even with the much less demanding streams available then. Of note -- I'm not sure how this interacts with the above, though I run a tickless clock, it still wants a clock Hz which I have set at 1000Hz. I don't have any of the newer 4K vids which would need about 4X the BW, not to mention the 8K video that Nvidia was just demoing with their latest 3xxx series cards. Additionally many newer videos have 10-12 bit color with 48-bits of color -- I'd expect that to go to 16bit within the next few-several years as a round-up of the 14bit range for the human eye. I really don't think the NONE config is going to be useful for most server configs unless they are pure "batch"-job machines with no interactive or user dependencies. As for PREEMPT_FULL -- I'm sure some scientific, maybe even gaming platform boxes might find a use for that -- but I'd tend to think PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY would work for most people in most cases. - -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
