Hi, Steam is asking for python3-apt. The only package I see that I have is python38-wrapt. Is this the correct package. I don't know the name of the tumbleweed version, and I don't want to guess at it. Thanks, mike

2-Terabyte-Mushkin-SSD?

by -pj

The largest Mushkin SSD I can purchase is 2 Terabytes. What are your thoughts on a drive that may be within my needs. If following the basic/standard COW protocol. So seriously.. it's just a "desktop computer" thinking about a brother-MFC-J485DW printer....someday..:| I do not like Crucial nor others on information (What is the nicest SSD for openSUSE TW currently?) Honestly I really do not like to support many more companies than my 85.00 USD a month internet provider now. <-You may get my drift. I am hoping to put the massive (to me) into an old HP Lenovo m-91p - Everything is fine now with the - well all of it really. Just wanting to see what your thoughts are on SSD's and Copy on Write. ----COW---- Copy on Write. I thank you for your opinions. --Finest Regards

openSUSE as FreeIPA client

by Ciro Iriarte

Hello!, Reading the documentation, I see that I could configure opensuse machines as a FreeIPA client using the stock sssd, although the ipa-client-install command is not available. I see that yast could be used (yast2-auth-client), but I would like to know if there's a non-interactive CLI tool I could use to automate the configuration. Regards, CI.-

please help: did I just ruin my ssd? mkfs.ext4: invalid blocks

by Daniel Bauer

Hello, I have a new ssd, I encrypted a partition and installed reiserfs (did that on my 15.1 system). Plugging it to my pad with 15.3 I saw that it canot handel it, and searching I found that Opensuse decided to make my backups worthless. So I plugged it again to the 15.1. used fdisk to delete the partition. made a new partition in fdisk. Wet to yast, clicked to istall an encrypted ext4 system. As after the last click the window disappeared without further notice I assumend it was done and unplugged the ssd. Received a nice message, that a process was iterrupted (and I thanked a lot to the highly itelligent programmer who closes a window without any hint about a still running process...). Ok, wanted to repeat. But Yast says it cannot istall ext4 because some cr_xxx is already here. So again fdisk, delete partition, make a new one, back to Yast, same error. So I wet the manual way (the ssd partition is sdg1): dd_rescue -m 2M /dev/urandom /dev/sdg1 cryptsetup -v --key-size 256 luksFormat /dev/sdg1 my_cryptkey-file cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sdg1 cr_sdg1 mkfs.ext4 /dev/mapper/cr_sdg1 /dev/mapper/cr_sdg1 here I get: mkfs.ext4: invalid blocks '/dev/mapper/cr_sdg1' on device '/dev/mapper/cr_sdg1' Did I do an error? How can I get my ssd back into a virgin state, to begin from scratch? I need urgent help, because I go to travel tomorrow and must take those ssd with me, working on 15.3... Thank you very much for your help. Daniel -- Daniel Bauer photographer Basel Málaga https://www.patreon.com/danielbauer https://www.daniel-bauer.com

smartctl

by mcgarrett

I have been beating my head against smartctl for over two hours now. I cannot seem to get the command "long" accepted, as the various tutorials explain. When I try to insert it, I get an error, like this: linux1:~ # smartctl long /dev/nvme0n1 smartctl 7.0 2019-05-21 r4917 [x86_64-linux-5.3.18-57-default] (SUSE RPM) Copyright (C) 2002-18, Bruce Allen, Christian Franke, www.smartmontools.org ERROR: smartctl takes ONE device name as the final command-line argument. You have provided 2 device names: long /dev/nvme0n1 (It doesn't like "short" either.) And my typing is getting worse! It doesn't help that my drive is called /dev/nvme0n1. As I mentioned earlier, the lightning strike has damaged something in this, my main computer, and I'm trying to find out what. For those who missed the earlier post, the only thing I can connect to here is the internet. I cannot see the printers or the laptop machine, and nmap basically doesn't work. I started this quest at 11:30 PM and it's now 3:30 AM. I'm going to bed! --doug

OT(?): viewing virtualbox or qemu VM on another host

by David T-G

Hi, all -- This is probably a VM-ish question rather than a SuSE-ish question, but since I'm running OpenSuSE I figured I could ask here to get started :-) I want to create a VM on host X and view it from my host Y desktop. All of the examples I've seen show someone working locally. Can either of these tools support running the VM "there" but viewing and interacting with it "here"? If not, is there another simple and free hypervisor that will fill the bill? I'm not particularly in love with either, not least since I have no experience; they just seem to be at the top of everyone's "virtualization for dummies" lists. I just want to run a few simple VMs, but I have neither the disk space nor the extra RAM on my little desktop to do so -- and I don't particularly want to have to get up and go to the coat^Wserver closet any time I have to access them. TIA & HAND :-D -- David T-G See http://justpickone.org/davidtg/email/ See http://justpickone.org/davidtg/tofu.txt

removing Claws--another failure

by mcgarrett

I guess the lightning got me this time. YAST message: An error occurred during repository initialization. [https-download.opensuse.org-e14d6223|https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/SUSE:/SLE-15-SP1:/GA/pool/] Valid metadata not found at specified URL History: - [https-download.opensuse.org-e14d6223|https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/SUSE:/SLE-15-SP1:/GA/pool/] Repository type can't be determined. Is this fixable or must I reinstall the whole system? Agh! --doug
