[opensuse] problem with network startup and netcosole
by don fisher 16 Oct '18

16 Oct '18

I am running opensuse 42.3 with a 4.18.7 kernel. I have worked on this netconsole problem for almost two months. I realize it is not part of the standard distribution, but I feel it should work to allow one to record crash dumps. I am currently looking for: 1. a person with expertise in network startup and netconsole; 2. a person that will build a system with netconsole to verify my problem. Below is my setup, first the kernel command line: linux netconsole=64001@192.168.7.60/eth0,64001@192.168.7.55/34:e6:d7:01:2a:dd loglevel=8 and then my receiving script: sudo nc -v -u -l 64001 | tee netconsole.log In summary, netconsole works fine, up to the point it hangs at around 12us after boot. Before the hang the destination output matches that presented by dmesg. I looked in /var/log/messages for an entry corresponding to the time netconsole halts and I find: systemd[1]: Started wicked AutoIPv4 supplicant service. And I do not believe the destination is hanging, because if I reboot the source, the output log on the destination continues. Messages such as those generated by ("modprobe floppy" = no such device) also do not appear on the destination, but do appear in dmesg. The output also continues on the destination if I issue a command to generate a panic, "echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger". So something in the panic must be fixing netconsole. If I run the module version, it behaves as expected printing the "no such device" messages from "modprobe floppy", and others that I found suggested on the net. I have read the Linux Device Drivers book, and asked the question on opensuse_kernel, kernelnewbies and this list. From what I can discover, netconsole is a driver stacked on printk, so anything printk issues should go to netconsole. Most respondents to my queries tell me that the log level is incorrect, but I feel if the messages are appearing in the dmesg dump the log level must be correct. The "Started wicked AutoIPv4 supplicant service" message coincident with the freeze makes me believe that the opensuse system startup is corrupting the linkage netconsole has established. Any assistance would be appreciated. Don -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] ntfs or ntfs-3g?
by DennisG 15 Oct '18

15 Oct '18

I have 2 W10 partitions using ntfs. When I set the first one up for mount in fstab, I manually edited the file to use the ntfs-3g driver because the openSUSE documentation recommends using that FUSE driver. Later, for the second partition I used YaST Partitioner to set the mount point in fstab; in that case YaST wrote ntfs to fstab rather than ntfs-3g. Both appear to work. Which is correct? And why do they both work? Thanks! --dg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] How to disable synaptiks/touchpad in KDE4?
by Istvan Gabor 15 Oct '18

15 Oct '18

Hello: This occurs in openSUSE 13.1 with its default KDE4 (4.11.5). Whenever I login to KDE session a message window pops up. Originally I did not have this message after login, it started only some time ago. The title of the window is: "Error - synaptiks" The message in the window is: "No touchpad found No Touchpad found in this system. If the system has a touchpad, please make sure that the synaptiks drive is properly installed and configured. If your touchpad is not found, though the driver is installed and configured correctly, please compile detailed information about your touchpad hardware and report this issue to the issue tracker." I don't have touchpad attached to the computer. Why does KDE try to start it? I searched for touchpad in KDE4 settings (systemsettings) and found only one instance of touchpad called "touchpad configuration" under Hardware/Input devices/Touchpad. But that shows the very same message as the above, and there is no any option to disable touchdpad. I found that in system tray I have a synaptiks icon (little triangle) but its menu's "Touchpad on" line is not checked and the "Configure synaptiks" line is grayed out. I checked yast too but couldn't find synaptiks or touchap setting there. How can I disabel it and get rid of this annoying popup message?

[opensuse] SOT Internet issues
by Jeffrey L. Taylor 14 Oct '18

14 Oct '18

Something strange is going on. I'm on Spectrum cable. The advertised bandwidth is 200Mbps. Since most of may LAN is 100Mbps Ethernet, I don't see that speed. If I plug my laptop (Gigabit Ethernet) directly into the cable modem I see the adverised bandwidth, but several things fail: fetch from Google Apps e-mail (Ruby script), outgoing mail to same account (Thunderbird), and updating Ruby gems (gem and bundle). All error messages indicate a timeout after a half minute to minute. There may be others but these I know. Web sites work fine. Outgoing e-mail thru noise.org (local Mail Service Provider) works fine. Plug into the WiFi router w/ NAT connected to the cable modem and everything works fine. This is on 42.3. I'm using OpenSuSE's firewall and Portsentry (3rd party). The logs seem to show a possible correlation with the failed services timing and TCP SYN/Normal scan from various ripe.net addresses (Portsentry). Also blocked TCP connections (SuSEfirewall2). Turning off Portsentry does not fix the problem. Stopping the firewall doesn't help either. So possibly this is a server policy to check WHOIS on connections? And with my laptop, the firewall is blocking ripe.net, the usual WHOIS provider? Suggestion, explanations, etc. welcome, Jeffrey -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Desktop constantly momentarily pausing (nvidia)
by Chris Coutinho 14 Oct '18

14 Oct '18

Hello, I recently installed Leap 15.0 on a workstation that has an nvidia graphics card installed (Quadro K2200), and since I've been using it for graphics work I've noticed that it continuously pauses. Even while editing a file or typing this email the entire screen pauses for half a second - every 5 seconds. To say this is irritating would be an understatement. I've tested both the main Leap 15.0 nvidia repository and the CUDA repository for SLES, and the behavior is the same. I'm currently running the following packages from the nvidia repository: nvidia-computeG04 390.87-lp150.10.1 nvidia-gfxG04-kmp-default 390.87_k4.12.14_lp150.11-lp150.10.1 nvidia-glG04 390.87-lp150.10.1 x11-video-nvidiaG04 390.87-lp150.10.1 Does anyone here have any experience debugging this issue? Also, please let me know If there is a better place to report this.

[opensuse] Apache Default Site Redirect
by Paul Groves 12 Oct '18

12 Oct '18

Hi All, So I have just set up ssl on my new web server as you may have seen from my other thread. Now in the default apache config for HTTP I have simply added the following to redirect to the virtualhost I wish to see as default: RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME} =www.mysite.com RewriteRule ^ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [END,NE,R=permanent] So now what happens when I type in the IP or local hostname of the server, and by extension any other ServerName which is not defined in the apache config, I get redirected to www.mysite.com But I wish to achieve this with the default HTTPS site too. However I get a self signed certificate error if I use the default SSL certs, and also if I use the ssl cert for www.mysite.com it says bad domain. Which I expected. So my question is, how can I redirect all HTTPS requests by default to my www.mysite.com site without getting certificate errors? Can this be done?

[opensuse] SSL For Free

Hi all, I have recently learned of letsencrypt.org and their service sslforfree.com. Does anyone use this? I have just set up a certificate with ssl for free on own website and it works great. No 'This website is improperly configured' message. (even though it is properly configured, just self-signed). The only problem I have with SSL For Free is that the certificates expire after 90 days. I can understand why they do this so as not to have lots of unused certificates but as I work on many sites any manually renewing them every 3 months would be a right pain in the proverbial. Is there a way to obtain a free certificate from SSL For Free and have it renew automatically?

[opensuse] problem with static linking. of util-linux utils meant to be statically linkable...

[opensuse] Missing possibility to choose Windows at startup
by A. den Oudsen 10 Oct '18

A few snapshots earlier I suddenly could not choose for Windows at startup anymore. I sometimes needs that. At the start of the snapshot DVD 20181002 I could choose for Windows In Windows I deleted all openSUSE partitions. After that I used the same DVD to install Tumbleweed as fresh as possible. After restart I got - to my big surprise - Windows, with no possibility to choose Tumbleweed. Now I start Tumbleweed by inserting the 20181002 DVD and chosing 'Boot from Harddisk', and there I can chose both. How to solve this into a simpler situation?

On a local network, what would be the preferred way for one system to shut down or reboot another system? Something over the network.

[opensuse] dual boot mounting and virtual machines
by George from the tribe 08 Oct '18

08 Oct '18

Is there a way to mount a linux partition in a linux virtual machine on a windows host? The idea is, sometimes I have to boot into windows on my laptop. Most of the time I am in linux, but occasionally I need a true windows environment, without the overhead of a windows virtual machine running in a linux host. When running windows, I have a program that allows me to see and read files on my ext4 partition on the laptop, but it is buggy and performs poorly. Instead, I would like to have a virtual machine running opensuse on my windows host and mount my ext4 partitions on that virtual machine, even though they don't mount in windows without special software. That way I could access my data files from my linux partition, use the applications I am used to that only run on linux, but still be able to use windows. It would not be my normal mode of operation, but it would give me a lot of flexibility. The barrier seems to be figuring out how to get a virtual machine to recognize the file system of the physical hard drive, rather than only recognizing virtual drives. Maybe I could trick it into thinking it is a network drive, or something like that? -- George Box: 42.3 | KDE Plasma 5.8 | AMD Phenom IIX4 | 64 | 32GB Laptop #1: TW | Plasma 5.13 | AMD FX 7TH GEN | 64 | 32GB Laptop #2: 15.0 | KDE Plasma 5.8 | Core i5 | 64 | 8GB -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] XFS mount problem

We had a very brief power-glitch last night, but it was enough to cause my PC to reboot. But the reboot didn't come up cleanly. It was complaining about not being able to mount an XFS filesystem that I use for storing recorded TV programmes. In fact mount claims 'wrong fs type': # mount -v /srv/live-tv/ mount: /srv/live-tv: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/mapper/mint_vg-live--tv_lv, missing codepage or helper program, or other error. I tried to run xfs_check but it doesn't seem to be in the repositories so I tried xfs_repair -n: # xfs_repair -n /dev/dm-3 Phase 1 - find and verify superblock... Phase 2 - using internal log - zero log... ALERT: The filesystem has valuable metadata changes in a log which is being ignored because the -n option was used.

This is Leap 15.0 I'm a bit stuck now; my XFS foo is not strong today, it seems. Can anybody suggest what my next steps should be?

[opensuse] programs in /sbin -- why aren't they in /usr/sbin?

Some of the programs in /sbin don't seem to make sense and I was wondering why they had not been moved to /usr/sbin Specifically: (part of info package): /sbin/install-info (part of rpcbind package): /sbin/pmap_set2 /sbin/rpcbind /sbin/rpcinfo There may be others, but these stood out because they require libraries in /usr/lib64 -- and it seems a bit intuitive that if a programs's libraries are in /usr/lib64 that would expect the program to be in /usr/[s]bin. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

That was too slow. Also of note -- the standard linux scheduler 'CFQ' defeats all of the parallel operations of XFS, but of course you knew that right? There have been quite a few improvements for smal files since 2010. There's also quite a bit of work going in to support btrfs features in xfs to support deduplication and volume snapping. If the files occupy the same space I'd expect you'd get large I/O benefits, but haven't seen figures on that. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] ffmpeg: openSUSE vs Ubuntu
by Roger Oberholtzer 02 Oct '18

02 Oct '18

I'm not sure if this is the best place to post this. It's not really a programming question. It's more about a difference between how two distros make the same libraries. I have an SDK with a closed-source library that I need to use on openSUSE 42.3. The supplier (Flir, formerly Point Grey) support Ubuntu as their Linux distro. Generally, the libraries find all that they need on openSUSE 42.3. At least ldd is indicating that, generally, libs and entry points are available. With the exception of ffmpeg. And here the problem is not so much the versions of the libraries, but instead how these libraries are identifying themselves internally. The Ubuntu libraries are claiming things like this: ./libptgreyvideoencoder.so.2.12.3.31: /usr/lib64/libavutil-ffmpeg.so.54: version `LIBAVUTIL_FFMPEG_54' not found (required by ./libptgreyvideoencoder.so.2.12.3.31) ./libptgreyvideoencoder.so.2.12.3.31: /usr/lib64/libswscale-ffmpeg.so.3: version `LIBSWSCALE_FFMPEG_3' not found (required by ./libptgreyvideoencoder.so.2.12.3.31) ./libptgreyvideoencoder.so.2.12.3.31: /usr/lib64/libavcodec-ffmpeg.so.56: version `LIBAVCODEC_FFMPEG_56' not found (required by ./libptgreyvideoencoder.so.2.12.3.31) ./libptgreyvideoencoder.so.2.12.3.31: /usr/lib64/libavformat-ffmpeg.so.56: version `LIBAVFORMAT_FFMPEG_56' not found (required by ./libptgreyvideoencoder.so.2.12.3.31) So, a library such as /usr/lib64/libavutil-ffmpeg.so.54 is wanted and is found on my system. Unfortunately, the tag LIBAVUTIL_FFMPEG_54 is not found inside that library. So, I thought I would look to see what is in the openSUSE library. I see this: LIBAVUTIL_54 I do not see LIBAVUTIL_FFMPEG_54. Could it be that openSUSE and Ubuntu use slightly different text for this flag/value? Note that I had this issue previously when experimenting with similar libs from Flir. I want to make a better solution than I did before, which turned out to be lib dependency hell. When I installed the Ubuntu version of these libs, many other ones were also needed, as the Ubuntu libs were not all satisfied with the openSUSE libs. And these led to conflicts. I am hoping that perhaps I can make these 4 libraries in such a way as to make the Ubuntu libs happy, while keeping the majority of the openSUSE libs. That might be wishful thinking. I have Googled a bit. I don't really see anything related to this. The openSUSE builds in OBS seem to be using the files as is. I do not see that LIBAVUTIL_FFMPEG_54 is being modified into something else by openSUSE. So maybe Ubuntu change these values? I'm less familiar with Ubuntu's build system. So I thought I would start asking on openSUSE lists since that is where I want to run things. I'm optimistic. It's early in the game. -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Any Experience with LTO-8 Tape?
by Lew Wolfgang 01 Oct '18

01 Oct '18

Hi Folks, It looks like using tape for backup (in my situation) is finally becoming reasonable again. LTO-8 supports 13TB/tape uncompressed. Does anyone have experience with more recent LTO tapes? It looks like the interfaces are SAS or Fiber. The last tapes I used were SCSI, do Leap's "mt" commands work okay with SAS? How about shelf-life of recorded tape? Reliability?

[opensuse] video players and error recovery
by Dave Howorth 30 Sep '18

30 Sep '18

I bought a TV card recently and consequently have become more interested in the capabilities of video players than I was. By default I have tended to use VLC because I like it's interface and it's capability to play videos at faster than normal speeds whilst still producing intelligible audio (good for watching documentaries, I find). But I've also discovered that VLC's error handling is less than ideal. It seems to take quite a long while to recover from an error. So I've experimented with other players to see whether that is the fundamental nature of video (specifically DVB TV) or is player-dependent, and I've discovered that another player - totem (though oddly listed instead as the unspecific 'Videos' in menus) - also has the capability to play sound quickly and seems to have much better error recovery. I've also now noticed that I have totem from the openSUSE OSS repository (Leap 15.0; totem 3.26.0) whilst my VLC comes from packman (3.0.2). So can anybody who understands these things explain why I apparently need to get VLC from packman whilst openSUSE can supply totem and packman don't seem to need to provide a de-crippled version? (whatever crippled means in this context - why do packman need to supply VLC?) Oh and is it worth bug-reporting VLC's error handling? (which I can only do vaguely). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Question for SDDM Experts

Hello everybody. The question: when playing amarok files and having the system screenlocked with SDDM there are the commands visible to be able to play or to pause and the songs name, etc. I would like to know instead, if it is possible to show, that you have new mail. This is particularly useful, IMO, when the system is locked and you pass by after a while. If Kontact would show in SDDM "New Mail" and eventually which Pop account (for privacy it would not be good to show headers or who did write, only that there is mail and how many) that would be awesome. Did anybody set this up, or does anybody know if this is possible?

Hi, i have 5 hardware + software identical systems, only monitor's (always 2 pices) are at one system different. on this system, after update i have no output at screen (only black) at tty 1 to 6. xorg/kde (tty7 graphic is fine) also at loginscreen switching with ctrl+alt+f1 to f6 only black screen's only f7 will work. booting on the same hardware a second tumbleweed installed, same version, but without graphic system installed, there at loginpromt i am able to switch without problems tty. at boot i see the "first part" of the bootmessages, and then at some point screen went black and after some seconds i get graphical login screen but normally i should see longer the bootmessages, normally screen went short black, then messages continue to scroll over screen, and after that the graphical loginscreen will appear. also i do not have any shutdown messages at screen, pressing inside kde shutdown, screen turns black and after a while power will got away. what should i search (maybe inside journal) to find the problem? or is this a know issue? should i asked at the factory@ list because it has something to do with a tumbleweed update? simoN -- www.becherer.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Interesting new feature in Thunderbird 60: global search
by Carlos E. R. 22 Sep '18

22 Sep '18

Hi, I found a new feature in Thunderbird, under settings, advanced: Enable Global Search and Indexer. A new search box appears on the "third" status bar on the top, that says "search Ctrl-shift-k". It took something like two days busy to create the index, then on "enter" it creates a new tab with the finds, and a left panels with data and controls. Per people and per folder sort, per mailing list, per account, per tag... Once the index is created, it is fast locating mails. I don't know where the index is stored, but my global-messages-db.sqlite file is now 760 megs. I also do not know if it can take advantage of server side indexing (dovecot), but I do not have it enabled. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from openSUSE 15.0 (Legolas))

[opensuse] swap performance
by Peter Suetterlin 21 Sep '18

21 Sep '18

Hi, I just had to hard-reset my laptop :( Running some memory-intense application, it started hitting swap. I already then noticed hangs in both graphics display and the music i was playing in background. The application continued to use more memory, when at some point the whole system basically froze. Swap fill was around 60% at that moment. Music started strongly stuttering, after some 30s or so stopped completely. Mouse cursor almost frozen first, still doing some jumps, then also dead. It stayed like that for 9 minutes, then suddenly music started again, display updated - only to freeze again after a short moment (a few 10s). That was the moment I pressed the button. I checked the log. Absolutely nothing mentioned in the journal, no faults or errors. I checked the swap partition. It's on an SSD, and I can read/write at expected rates without errors. WTF is the system doing there? Has anyone seen similar problems lately?

[opensuse] MS Exchange Webmail and Thunderbird
by Lew Wolfgang 19 Sep '18

19 Sep '18

Hi Folks, I thought I'd mention this here before making a bug report, somewhere. Thunderbird 60.0-74.1-x86-64 on Leap 42.3 fails to decrypt email when encrypted with a Smartcard on Microsoft Webmail. Decryption of the identical email works as expected with TB 52.9.1-71.1-x86_64. Decryption also works on Outlook encrypted mail. Only mail encrypted with Webmail is affected. The encrypted message body shows a blank screen with a pkcs7-mime attachment on 60.0. A look at the raw messages show that Webmail wraps its MIME attachments a bit differently. Workaround of going back to 52.9 and locking works for now. Where would I submit a bug report? openSUSE or Mozilla? It's convenient to say its Microsoft's problem, but that doesn't fly if it worked with 52.9.

[opensuse] DNS not working on 15.0
by James Knott 18 Sep '18

18 Sep '18

This morning I noticed a problem with DNS resolution on my ThinkPad E520. I am not able to resolve host names. However, other devices, connected to the same network work OK. Even Windows 10, in a virtual machine on this computer, works fine. With Wireshark, I see no DNS packets, even when I use the host command. Resolv.conf doesn't list any DNS servers. This computer uses network manager and the problem occurs with both Ethernet and WiFi. I can ping by IP address, but not host name. I checked all the settings I could think of and nothing seems amiss. The only thing I can think of that might have caused this is some recent updates, but not sure. Any ideas? tnx jk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Q: How to include custom udev rule into initramfs ?

Hi ! How to include custom udev rule into initramfs ? I edited "/usr/lib/dracut/modules.d/95udev-rules/module-setup.sh" added "inst_rules 62-my.rules", yet it doesn't work. Anyone can suggest right way to do this ? Thanks in advance. "dracut -vf" lists all stuff it is including into initramfs, so I can say for sure my mod doesn't work. Dracut copies *some* udev rules from etc/udev/rules.d/ usr/lib/udev/rules.d/ but not *all*, only selected by some config I'm not aware about.

[opensuse] partition type is microsoft but filesystem is ext4
by George from the tribe 17 Sep '18

17 Sep '18

Not sure how I did this, but it happened before I upgraded to tumbleweed a couple of months ago, but I only noticed it now. On the partition in question, I had opensuse 42.2 installed, so I went in, changed all my repositories to tumbleweed, and did an online upgrade, and have been operating like that ever since.

[opensuse] Password prompt for whole disk encryption changed keyboard layout

Since the updates from beginning of this week I have to use the English keyboard layout to type in my encryption password for the whole disk encryption (openSUSE standard: encryption with LUKS and LVM, openSUSE 15.0). The password prompt is now in English regardless if I use the graphical Plymouth prompt or the console prompt. It was in German before the updates. The password input for GDM display manager later is in German. Does anyone else saw this behavior? Where can I reset the keyboard setting for the initial encryption password prompt?

[opensuse] Latest Thunderbird v60 for Leap -- a word of caution
by Basil Chupin 13 Sep '18

13 Sep '18

Just a word of caution re the latest version (version 60) of Thunderbird which will be installed when you update Leap 15.0: you will lose most, if not all, of your existing Extensions and Theme -- by this I mean that they will become 'Incompatible with...'. I don't have the time at the moment to try and find replacements (if any) for all of my 'lost' Extensions, and my favourite Theme, so I simply uninstalled v60 and re-installed version 52.9. (BTW, I saw that zypper was going to update TB (and Firefox) so the first thing I did before executing the new TB was to backup my '~/.thunderbird' directory to be on the safe side.)

[opensuse] Q: How to set min battery voltage on laptop
by Andrei Verovski 12 Sep '18

12 Sep '18

Hi ! I have reconditioned Lenovo Thinkpad laptop battery with new high-capacity 18650 cells from Samsung. However, even after battery stats reset with Lenovo Power Management software, battery capacity and remaining time are being displayed incorrectly, data is based on old 2200 mAh cells, now new 3500 mAh ones. Since I did not found a way to reset battery EPROM chip, the only way is to set minimum battery voltage is to hack parameters of either kernel/acpi or upower. Battery voltage seem to be displayed correctly yet capacity and remaining time are not. Laptop shuts down prematurely with battery still holding enough charge. How to correctly do this ? I’m using MATE desktop, it deploys standard Gnome utilities for power management.

[opensuse] Issues with Susefirewall - Opensuse 15.0
by James Knott 09 Sep '18

09 Sep '18

I am trying to set up the firewall for a very specific and perhaps unusual situation. First thing I noticed, when trying to set up the firewall was that the Yast firewall-config package was not installed. Even after installing, I find that when I try to configure the firewall, I get a message firewalld is not running. I can go into Services Manager, to enable and start it. However, after rebooting, while still enabled, firewalld is not starting. Seems to me there's a bit of a problem here. Next, is there anyway to filter outgoing packets? I don't see it in the firewall configuration. I'm trying to block the MAC address from the Ethernet port on my notebook from going out onto the network. This is the unusual situation I referred to. I have a small managed switch, which I configured for port mirroring, so that I can use Wireshark to monitor traffic to other computers. This involves inserting what's commonly referred to as a "data tap" between the two devices. I am using the managed switch in that roll. However, unlike switches from Cisco, Adtran etc., this TP-Link switch allows traffic from the monitor port to pass through the other switch ports. In a network, where a switch is configured for port security, this may cause problems, in that the port may be shut down, if an unauthorized MAC address appears on that port. Since this switch I'm using to monitor the connection allows frame from the mirror port out, this might actually cause a failure. My goal is to block any frame with the Ethernet port MAC address from leaving the computer. While I could write the appropriate IPTables commands to do this, I would prefer to do it in the firewall configuration, as the network manager supports loading specific zones, but I don't see a way to call a script. I am trying to use the "drop" zone and filtering on source MAC address.

[opensuse] Using e2fsck in, eg, Leap 15.0
by Basil Chupin 08 Sep '18

08 Sep '18

Many moons ago, when nobody ever walked into a lamp post while staring into a smartphone, one could check the status of the ext4 file system where oS was installed (as a for instance, /dev/hda3). To do this, one first issued (as root) the command: init 1 followed by mount -o remount, ro /dev/hdXY and then issuing: e2fsck /dev/hdXY (preferably) without any parameters. Now, I see that 'e2fsck /dev/hdXY' (man e2fsck) this command is still available and effective but the 'mount -o...' command does not 'work' anymore. What is the new way, please if anyone knows, to check the status of the ext4 file system?

[opensuse] UEFI, dual boot, and shrinking Windows partition

Hi all, This Asus laptop (with TW and KDE) was not used for ten days. Yesterday evening I switched it on and saw I have >800 updates. I tried tio install them with zypper dup.

I managed to boot into 4.17.14 kernel (got some complaints, but none showstopper) and manually remove all downloaded rpm packages from /var/cache/zypp/packages with mc. Dolphin did not start in superuser mode. All these deleted and having only the 0 and 1 snapshots, I have less than 600 M in root from 40 G. And I have no idea where is the rest of the space?

[opensuse] Searching a tool for Samba ACL management
by Bjoern Voigt 06 Sep '18

06 Sep '18

I have to manage some projects and work groups on a openSUSE Samba server. The project members are changing from project to project. Minimal permissions are required, because of the "need to know" principle, established during an external auditing process. I often have the task to setup permissions like this for a project folder. * a group A with write access * an additional user B with write access * a user C with read access * new files and directories should get the same permissions as existing files/directories * sub-directories sometimes have more, less or other permissions * optional, but may be required in future: reporting of all permissions (for the auditing) It is clear, that I need ACLs on the Samba server to fulfill the requirements. On average I have to change permissions of around one project folder (with many sub-folders and files) a day. In most situations the project folders are in use. The Samba server and my desktop PC run on openSUSE. The project members run Windows 10, but do know nothing about Windows/Samba ACLs. Which tool is best suited for the task to setup (and optional report) Samba/Windows ACLs? I already tested some tools and methods: 1. chown, chgrp and chmod only possible directly on the server; not capable of ACLs another than Unix standard (owner, group and others) 2. chown, chgrp, chmod, setfacl and getfacl (my current method) works, but takes some time on usage; difficult; only possible directly on the server; can be scripted, if the tasks are comparable; not very fail-safe (of course because of usage errors) 3. smbcacls works, but is slow; difficult; needs a login for each execution; no recursion 4. Windows file properties dialog, security tab works, but I have to start a Windows VM extra for this task; no reporting 5. Cacls (Windows) works, but I have to start a Windows VM extra for this task; difficult 6. Winacl (FreeNAS) Only for Samba servers on FreeNAS; only possible directly on the server 7. Local administration (mounted CIFS share) with "multiuser" mount option even with the "multiuser" mount option owners, groups, permissions and ACLs of the original files/directories on the server are hidden on the client Greetings, Björn -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Kernel patch needed for Leap upgrade

I am planning a Leap 42.3 => 15.0 upgrade along with new AMD B450/Ryzen 5 2400G hardware.

However, there are recent reports of the Leap install failing due to the ccp kernel module locking up on a bug in the amd firmware. Apparently this is not fixed in the most recent kernel.

[opensuse] Any advise on encrypting a file system for personal data on openSUSE?
by Linux Kamarada 02 Sep '18

02 Sep '18

Hi, everyone! Recently, as I told on another thread, I installed openSUSE in dual boot with Windows. I would like to encrypt a partition I use to store my personal files (Documents, Downloads, Pictures, Music and Videos). I want to use a file system that can be mounted read/write on both Linux and Windows. Is there any recommendation/advising/suggestion on which encrypted file system I could use to achieve that? I searched the opensuse and opensuse-factory mailing lists and didn't find any for Leap 42.3 and 15.0. openSUSE docs talks about LUKS, but I googled briefly and LUKS support on Windows is abandonware... Maybe I explain better showing my partition setup: Windows recover partition - 499MB Windows reserved partition - 99MB Windows (C:) - NTFS - 100GB openSUSE (/) - Btrfs - 100GB Personal files (D:) - NTFS - 200GB * Home (/home) - XFS - 30.53GB ** Swap - 16GB * This partition I want to encrypt and have it accessible on both Linux and Windows ** This partition I just want to encrypt Thank you in advance!

[opensuse] SOO: TW version numbers
by Peter Suetterlin 02 Sep '18

02 Sep '18

Hi list, I noticed strange version numbers for (at least two) Tumbleweed packages on software.opensuse.org. E.g., for GIMP it lists 2.6.12 as official release (actually in the repo is 2.10.4), for kstars it reports 4.8.2 (no idea where that even comes from - recent is 2.9.8). I'd expect there are more of them. Where are those numbers coming from? If I go to the kstars project page in openSUSE:Factory it lists 2.9.8. Should this be bug-reported? (where?). (and the blocking config window permanently popping up is a PITA....) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Firefox: is this a possible security problem?
by Basil Chupin 01 Sep '18

01 Sep '18

I am running Leap 15.0 but with 2 "non-standard" files: #1 - kernel-4.18.0-1, which comes from repo. '.../stable/standard/'; and #2 - Firefox v62.0b1x, which I download directly from Mozilla. I have no problems re the kernel but I mention it here to show that there is at least this file which is not 'standard' in my installation of Leap 15.0. However, I have just experienced something regarding the version of Firefox which I did not expect and something which didn't happen in the past (as in many moons ago when I last used a Nightly version of either Firefox or Thunderbird). And what happened raised in my mind whether this is a security problem for a Linux system (ie, openSUSE). Let me explain. Since 28 July I have been downloading and using Firefox downloaded from Mozilla site -- the file is a *.tar.bz2 file which I then unarchive (using the F2 option in Midnight Commander (mc)); I then copy the '/firefox' directory resulting from this un-archiving to my /home directory. To use this [new] version of Firefox I then edit the Firefox entry in the Applications menu and edit the Command to read '~/firefox/firefox %u'. When I began doing this I started with Firefox v61.0.1, but on 5 August I downloaded and started to use FF v62.0b14, followed by v62.0b15 on 10 August. For all of the (3) preceding files I downloaded the files myself, unarchived them, deleted/renamed the '/firefox' directory in '/home', and copied across the new version of FF to my '/home'. Until today. What occurred today is something which I did not expect on a Linux system: Firefox *UPGRADED* *ITSELF* to version 62.0b17. As I did in the past to download the latest version of FF, I clicked on HELP and when the box-menu appeared there was the message, normally seen on a Windows installation, "Restart Firefox to <something>' and the version number showing was 62.0b17. === Now that I have written the above, I just now looked inside the '/firefox' directory in my '/home' and found to my surprise 2 files: 'updater' (156, 296 bytes big), and 'updater.ini' (681 bytes big). The contents of *.ini' is attached. The only conclusion I can come to is that Firefox updated itself -- similarly to what it does in Windows! But how is this allowed in openSUSE/Linux? I do understand that I manually installed Firefox in my /home directory and that it wasn't installed in the directory /usr/lib64/firefox accessed only by root but I certainly do not expect a program to self-update/upgrade without my manual intervention. If openSUSE now allows the execution of the 'installer' in Firefox what is there to stop that 'installer' being modified to cause damage to the system? (BTW, the same 'installer' is present in Thunderbird downloadable from Mozilla -- and I am using TB v60.0 [created 1 Aug].) Is this ability in Firefox, and Thunderbird, acceptable behaviour or am I being paranoid?

[opensuse] firefox screenshot haywire?
by Dave Howorth 01 Sep '18

01 Sep '18

I just tried to take a snapshot of a web page and got a popup that says: Whoa! Firefox Screenshots wnet haywire. We're not sure what just happened. Care to try again or take a shot of a different page? But that's it. There are no buttons to choose 'try again' or 'shot of another page', just an X in the upper-right corner. The page itself is darkened with a blue 'kitt car' line in the middle. That stays there even after I close the popup, but disappears if I try to take an FF snapshot of it. Anybody else seen anything like this? The page I was trying to snapshot was https://www.bbc.co.uk/news which has been redesigned to be unusable without Javascript. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Audio volume fading out
by Jon Cosby 31 Aug '18

31 Aug '18

My audio volume is fading out in LEAP 42.3. Where the system volume was set to 70 - 80% yesterday, I have to turn it up to 100% (or higher, as the GNOME and KDE settings seem to allow). I've reset it using alsamixer but this is the same setting the GUI interfaces use. I have a Sound BlasterX Kratos S5 sub-woofer and speakers with a USB connection, and alsa recognizes this as a "sound card." The actual built-in sound card is an Intel HDA ATI SB. It's the second time this has happened; a few months ago, I finally ended up turning up the speaker volume. This isn't a long term solution, at some point it will max out. The speaker control is under my desk, so I haven't ruled out inadvertently bumping the volume with my foot, but I think it's something else. Does anyone know what it would be?

[opensuse] Okular - Please put Adobe Reader back in
by James Knott 31 Aug '18

31 Aug '18

Since switching to Leap 15.0, I have been forced to use Okular, as Adobe Reader no longer works. Is it possible to please PLEASE put it back in there? I find Okular is a very poor replacement for Adobe. For example, I often get some bills online, open them and then save. While I can open them, saving them is a real pain, compared to Adobe. For example, when I select Save as, it wants to put the file in some directory that has nothing to do with where I save documents. I can only assume it's a directory for temp files. There isn't even an easy selection for my home directory. I have to click on a button to take me to /, where I then have to select home, then my ID and only then, am I anywhere near where I want to save the file. With Adobe, it had no problem automatically selecting the folder where I wanted to save the file. Why isn't there something as simple as a home directory button, so I don't have to go through all that nonsense? Please put Adobe Reader back in, so that we have a PDF app that works properly!!! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] What would be the proper command to swtich off wlan?

Hi, I have a small laptop that doesn't have a separate switch for the WiFi, and when I plug in the ethernet cable I get both wlan and eth connections, which cause some problems (it should not, but it does). The laptop has a "airplane button" on F7 special keys which is ignored. Other keys do work, like the volume. The command "rcnetwork stop wlan1" does stop wlan, but "rcnetwork restart eth0" starts again the wifi (both, eth and wlan). How can I stop the wlan, so that NM doesn't reactivate it again? -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.3 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)

Hello, what is the proper way to install ruby gems in opensuse leap? I see there are lots of gems installable as rpm packages.

[opensuse] Kernel Stable on leap-15.0
by Mark Hounschell 30 Aug '18

30 Aug '18

I'm sure I am not the only one that does not use the Dist. kernel. Has anyone noticed that the stable kernel change from 4.18 to 4.18.1 causes the mkinitrd process to take over 10-15 minutes as opposed to 1-2? And it seems to be the i915 drm driver that causes this crazy thing? If it is removed from the config, all is normal. Could this be a Dracut bug? I suspect the kernel, but who am I to say.

FWIW, this is what I just did on Leap15 - a plain desktop machine, 'office38'. remove the older acroread package, (I had played with that previously) download and install the one acroread package from https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home%3AXimi1970%3AopenSUSE%3AExtra/… I copied over the libpcre and libxcb libraries into /opt/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/lib/ Starting acroread still caused an assert() failure. Looking at the libraries which were open on my Leap423 machine, it looks like I needed glibc-locale-32bit, so I installed that and acroread started up. Wrt Okular - for my usage patterns, it actually works fine most of the time. I have one open issue, printing A5 pages. The newer Okular on Leap15 does not recognise the page size from the PDF, but an older one (openSUSE 13.1) does.

At first they worked on solving 'DLL-hell' in XP, and by Vista+Win7, they'd pretty much solved that with side-by-side libraries (keeping old dynamic libs and loading the correct one for each app loaded). Later they added a special daemon ("Application Experience") to create a load-time environment around apps to support more complex cases. Distros and linux-run-time(gnu) is mostly going the other direction -- specifically adding features that are more likely to disallow apps not built specifically for a specific distribution. To support these apps, it would simply be a matter of saving their dependency-libs and not deleting old libs when adding new ones. It would also involve bumping the 'so#' on libraries when interfaces change, and not distributing files of the same name with different internal apis (internal symbol versioning). Basically linux is moving away from the model that has allowed MS to dominate the market and that will marginalize and eventually kill off any chance of linux being a competing platform. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] why embedded versions for everything?
by L A Walsh 28 Aug '18

28 Aug '18

I compiled a new version some of the linux utils for some specific bug fix or feature, and with libsmartcols.so.1 getting recompiled. Afterwards, several programs would no longer run and I got messages like: /bin/findmnt: /lib64/libsmartcols.so.1: version `SMARTCOLS_2.25' not found (required by /bin/findmnt). The first thing I noted, was libsmartcols.so.1 had 3 versions: 1.0, 1.1 and 1.2, with version '1' pointing at '1.2'. None of those were version 2.25 -- the version number of the release of the linux utils. So why does findmnt look for a bogus version number when the version number is given in the file name? Second, what benefit does this provide to the end user? Why are these bogus version numbers being added to libraries and programs that run perfectly fine with out them (unless something requires them and failed when it can't fined them). I fail to see the benefit w/o unless a specific lib is messed up. Is there an easy util to run to strip all these out -- from libs and the programs that require them? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

Guys, So I am trying to get better stats on Nginx. I want to use ngxtop, so I did the install pip install nginx But when I try to run the following command ngxtop -l /var/log/nginx/access.log I get the following error Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/ngxtop", line 7, in <module> from ngxtop.ngxtop import main File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/ngxtop/ngxtop.py", line 77, in <module> from config_parser import detect_log_config, detect_config_path, extract_variables, build_pattern ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'config_parser' I did a search and I found a package that says it should help with that module python-configparser I installed that package, but I am still getting that error. I am on the latest Tumbleweed with Python 3.6. Any clue what I need to install to get this working? ======================== Chuck Payne a.k.a terrorpup -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

Hi, Since TeamViewer 13 freezes endlessly on SuSE Leap 15, and older version of TW simply don't work, this handy script will kill dead TeamViewer. kill $(ps aux | grep '[T]eamViewer' | awk '{print $2}') Save at somewhere as bash script.

Hi, Corrected, in same cases only "kill -9" works.

[opensuse] drupal site and recaptcha
by Istvan Gabor 26 Aug '18

26 Aug '18

Hello: This is the most silly/ridiculous thing I've seen recently. When I want to open any drupal.org site with palemoon browser either directly of clicking a google search result link, I get the mostly unsolvable google recaptcha instead of the expected page. Literally the page says: DRUPAL Please verify you are a human Please click "I am not a robot" to continue <google recaptcha box> Access to this page has been denied because we believe you are using automation tools to browse the website. This may happen as a result of the following: Javascript is disabled or blocked by an extension (ad blockers for example) Your browser does not support cookies Please make sure that Javascript and cookies are enabled on your browser and that you are not blocking them from loading. Reference ID: #65d14520-a196-11e8-acea-01ca0bc23399 First, it is absolutely ridiculous to protect a public website from browsing with recaptcha. Second, use of google recaptcha is a nigthmare. It takes several tries to me to solve those questions, like select pictures with store front, cars, bicyles, street signs etc., because it is very difficult to identify the details of those small pictures, and I never know if it is expected to select those pictures which shown only a little piece of the given thing, for example part of a street sign. Google recapthca is a punishment, and in my opinion an intelligent website developer never ever inserts it in a webpage. This was the rant. I would like to write to drupal.org site admins but I could not find a direct contact address. If anyone knows it, please let me know. Thanks, Istvan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Returning from sleep/standby (waking up) fails

I find returning from sleep (for the computer) is unreliable. I am using MATE but I see references to XFCE4 (?)

[opensuse] Why is this so, Leap 15?
by Basil Chupin 26 Aug '18

26 Aug '18

I have 2 installations of Leap 15 on my laptop (don't worry why I installed 2copies). I Installed the first copy back last April, 26 April, and the second copy only 2 days ago, 23 August. Copy #1 was obviously installed (26 April) from the last "beta" of Leap 15 and the copy I installed 2 days ago was from the official release iso dated 16 May. Both copies are up-to-date and configured identically (I firmly believe). My Question (with above in mind) is: why is the following occurring: copy #1 of Leap 15 does not "Lock Screen" after any time period because this is how I configured the Settings>System Setings>Power Management but copy #2 *insists* on doing the "Lock Screen" rumba after exactly 5 minutes -- which annoys me very much? What changed in the final release of Leap 15, and what is needed to be done to make copy #2 stop kicking-in the annoying "Lock Screen" feature? (I suspect that Leap 15 recognises that it is being installed on a laptop and not desktop computer and therefore this Lock Screen kicks-in ... but why after 5 minutes, and there appears to be no way to override this time period.)

[opensuse] no Crypt Files in YaST Partitioner (Leap 15.0)
by Carlos F. Lange 25 Aug '18

25 Aug '18

I am trying to create an encrypted virtual disk in Leap 15.0, following the instructions from the Security Guide (https://goo.gl/8qSWgx) "To set up an encrypted virtual disk, launch YaST, switch to the System section, and start Partitioner. Switch to the Crypt Files section and press Add Crypt File." But my YaST Partitioner is not showing the "Crypt Files" section that used to appear under "Volume Manager". I only have the NFS and Btrfs sections. Sometimes there is a package that needs to be installed before certain sections show up in YaST, so I am asking first here, before reporting a bug. I think I installed all relevant packages, but does anyone have that section in their YaST Partitioner and do they know which package provides it? -- Carlos F Lange Gaúcho nas Pradarias https://www.google.com/+CarlosFLange -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Short Howto Closing System (Linux or Win) Using rufus + clonezilla
by David C. Rankin 24 Aug '18

24 Aug '18

All, We have had a couple of threads on the best way to clone a system to a larger disk, whether straight dd, or some tool like clonezilla. Well, after using the windows system image, and dd, I decided to try clonezilla - I should have done that long ago... While I generally use the windows backup system image to create an image and boot disk, and then boot with the new drive in the system and the image attached via USB, this time I had the miss's computer which for all things bad about M$ (on of the rocks I have left), is Win7 Home-Premium is intentionally crippled by M$ so it will not create a system image. That just means another way around. I looked at AOMEI Backupper and EASUS Todo Backup, both have freeware standard models that will either clone or with image allowing something similar to Win system image, they are free as-in-cost, but not free as-in-from-hidden-phone-home. So after considering the options, I just went with the standard debian based clonezilla. Glad I did. Why? Pretty ingenious. Conezilla has a "Other modes of Clonezilla live" boot option which will load everything needed from the boot disk to RAM then freeing the boot media to be used as the target of the device-to-device clone. What this allows is completely eliminating the steps of creating the system image and then loading it back to the newly installed drive. Instead clonezilla installed to your new SSD will boot via USB and load everything to RAM freeing all locks on the USB connected SSD allowing it to be used as the direct target in a disk-to-disk clone. So you simply boot clonezilla, choose "Other modes of Clonezilla live", then "Clonezilla live (to RAM, Boot media can be removed)" set your Locale and change the keyboard mapping (if needed), then start clonezilla and choose "device-device" select the source (original) drive and target (new) drive, choose "disk_to_local_disk", say yest a couple of times and you are done! Your newly cloned drive is now the same drive you booted clonezilla with ready to install and boot your clones OS. If you are working from windows and need to burn the clonezilla .iso to your new USB drive, just use the GPL3 rufus package. Simple one screen chose .iso, advanced options, list USB drives, select and burn the iso to your now bootable new drive. https://rufus.akeo.ie/ Restart, and make sure you boot from that drive, clone as above and you are done. This is the process outlined at: https://clonezilla.org/show-live-doc-content.php?topic=clonezilla-live/doc/… The only addition is using rufus to put the clonezilla iso on your new drive (way easier than the methods listed -- yes, I've emailed the clonezilla devs with that info as well :) If you need to clone a system, this is a pretty slick and painless way to do it all with GPL software. -- David C.

[opensuse] where did the "encrypted home directory" option go?
by Carlos F. Lange 24 Aug '18

24 Aug '18

I just noticed now (did not need it for a couple of years) that Leap 15 does not offer to encrypt the home partition of a new user. Yast used to offer the option and create a virtual disk image, which then was mounted as the user home in /home, using the user password for decryption. Now the only options are to encrypt the whole disk, the whole home partition or to create a separate virtual disk to be mounted by the user. Does anyone know why the encrypted home directory was removed? -- Carlos F Lange Gaúcho nas Pradarias -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Leap-15.0: how to switch to single user mode?
by Josef Wolf 23 Aug '18

23 Aug '18

Hello, if i give the command "telinit s" (on VT1 of course) the screen is blanked and only a cursor blinks at the top left corder. If I use CTL-ATL-F1 to switch to VT1 again, I see the last contents of that VT1. The last command I gave (the "telinit s") just hangs. I'd expect either a root shell or a prpmopt to type the root password to get a shell. What gives?

[opensuse] Install leap-15.0 with nvidia card
by Josef Wolf 23 Aug '18

23 Aug '18

Hello, I am trying to install openSUSE-Leap-15.0-DVD-x86_64.iso on a desktop with an nvidia quadro 2000 card. On the splash screen I select the monitor resolution and then choose "Install". Then kernel/installer is loaded (with progress bar indication on the bottom of the screen). When installer starts up, the screen turns to black and the monitor switches off, saying "going to sleep". Switching to VT1 (with CTRL-ALT-F1) works, but when I switch back to the installer (CTRL-ALT-F7), everyhting is dark again. Searching the net finds me many information about installing the nvidia drivers ON A RUNNING SYSTEM. But how is one supposed to install the system in the first place?

[opensuse] Microsoft and Linux's love-in heats up as SUSE tunes kernel for Azure

https://www.zdnet.com/article/microsoft-and-linuxs-love-in-hots-up-as-suse-… <quote> Microsoft and Linux continue to move ever closer, with the announcement that SUSE has developed a custom Linux kernel tailored to Microsoft Azure. Munich: The journey from Windows to Linux and back again The kernel improves the performance and boot speeds of SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) 15 on-demand instances running on the Azure cloud platform. The new kernel also allows those running SLES on Azure to use the platform's latest services, such as as Accelerated Networking with SR-IOV and Write Accelerator, and should allow new services to be used as they're released, ... SUSE says running SLES 15 on Azure should deliver up to 25 percent faster network throughput and a 23 percent reduction in average latency compared to earlier releases, as well as having a smaller memory footprint. By default, SLES 15 instances on Azure will run on this custom-tuned kernel, although users will be able to switch back to the standard kernel using the package manager, Zypper. Users will also have access to tools and resources for cloud-native deployments, available via the SUSE Public Cloud Module. </quote> https://www.zdnet.com/article/learn-how-to-run-linux-on-microsofts-azure-cl… -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] play sound from procmail

Hi all. I've got the basic recipe working, e.g. :0 * ^from:.*foo@gmail.com.* { :0c: ${MAILDIR}/INBOX :0ahi | cvlc -I default -R --gain 8.0 ${HOME}/ringtones/cash_register.mp3 } (pretty much copy-pasted from examples on the web). However, while the `cvlc` commmand works fine from the command line, when run from procmail, I keep getting [000055a9e1d96468] core audio output error: Audio output failed [000055a9e1d96468] core audio output error: The audio device "default" could not be used: Device or resource busy.

[opensuse] skype for linux version4.3

With the latest Skype for Linux version 8.xx I still have lots of problems with sound which entered in Skype since the last working Skype 4.3 Was lurking on the web and found that there are some Linux Skype users who found ways to use their 4.3 version. Lost that info and can not find the Skype v4.3 rpm for the install. Same as the way around the version 4.3 no-no which was build in the use of skypeforlinux. Could somebody give me the tips I looking for? -- opensuse:tumbleweed:20180815 Qt: 5.11.1 KDE Frameworks: 5.48.0 - KDE Plasma: 5.13.4 - kwin 5.13.4 kmail2 5.8.3 - akonadiserver 5.8.3 - Kernel: 4.17.14-1-default -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] ftps protocol not supported in Leap 42.2 and 42.3 KDE3
by Istvan Gabor 21 Aug '18

21 Aug '18

Hello: I use KDE3 in all of my openSUSE systems as desktop manager. I found that ftps protocol is not working in openSUSE Leap 42.2 and 42.3 KDE3. When I write "ftps://ftp.xxx.xxx:21" either into krusader or konqueror address bar I get this error message: Protocol not supported ftps ftps works in openSUSE 13.2 KDE3 and "ftps://ftp.xxx.xxx:21" in the address bar brings up the login window. Is there a way to make ftps work in Leap 42.2 and 42.3? (I also checked KDE4 krusader (2.4.0-beta3, KDE 4.14.33) and it doesn't support ftps protocol either in Leap 42.2 or 13.2.)

[opensuse] kernel versions
by don fisher 21 Aug '18

21 Aug '18

I have read discussions concerning the wisdom of Opensuse not running current kernels. But I recently purchased an Alienware 13 3 that is near EOL, so it is not real bleeding edge technology. Neither the wireless nor Ethernet are supported, and now I find the the graphics chipset is not supported either. I was able to use a USB wireless transmitter, but I cannot get around the display hardware. message about wireless in dmesg is: ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/firmware-5.bin failed with error -2 Qualcomm Atheros Killer E2500 Gigabit Ethernet Controller is not configurable, except with a patch into the /sys directory found on the internet. Message about the graphics chipset from the Nouveau list is: "GP106 is supported, you must be using an older kernel (since yours says "unknown chipset")". How dangerous is it to download on of the kernels from the Opensuse search site. Kernel.org says the latest stable release is 4.17.12. Under search/42.3/community packages, there are a few offerings shown at this revision level. How bad is it to install one of these kernels?

[opensuse] Fax vulnerability

It the past few days it's been announced that there is a vulnerability in many "fax machines" (more accurately, all-in-one printers with fax capabilities). I've tracked down and downloaded a tarball, but have found very little info about it. The contents of the tarball look like a mix of a website and a python program with some C code and printer drivers and other stuff thrown in. Should I start wading through all that, or will there be an update coming out from Suse?

I printed out this article- https://au.pcmag.com/software/138/guide/the-best-vpn-services-of-2018 but the table at the beginning of the article won't print -- the printing begins with the Heading then skips the table of the various VPNs and continues from "VPNs Keep You Safe Online". I had to use the Firefox Add-on 'Screengrab' to save that table to a file and then printed that *.png file. Any thoughts as to why that table will not print as part of that article but has to be saved as a separate file in order to print it?

[opensuse] Trump tariff, trade war hurting US business, says American boat CEO - Business Insider
by Anton Aylward 16 Aug '18

https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-tariff-trade-war-hurting-us-business-… "We have found ourselves in the crosshairs of a trade war, one that will drown out the effects of tax reform and risk our industry's promising future, taking American workers and consumers down with it," he wrote. In laying out the threat the trade war poses, Yeargin identified the three ways that Trump's trade fights are contributing to pain for US manufacturers: 1 Tariffs caused the price of imported parts to increase: Tariffs act as taxes on imports, which in turn cause the prices of the goods hit with those taxes to increase. ... 2 The prices of US goods are also increasing due to market distortions: Correct Craft sources nearly all of the aluminum sheet used in its boats from the US — more than 90% according to Yeargin — but this has not protected the company from price increases. As domestic producers have seen foreign prices rise, so too have US aluminum producers used this new pricing power. According to Yeargin, the price of domestic aluminum has risen by 20% to 30% due to market distortions created by the tariffs. ... 3 Retaliatory tariffs on US exports are hurting American companies that send goods abroad: Yeargin said that retaliatory tariffs on boats by Canada, Mexico, and the European Union — which represent a large portion of the firm's overseas sales — will harm sales and "puts the industry's $1.8 billion in recreational boat and engine exports and the jobs of Americans in jeopardy." -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] How to remove binary garbage from the front of a binary file??
by Greg Freemyer 14 Aug '18

14 Aug '18

All, I don't know the origin of these files, but I have a 100GB of corrupted PST files. >From what I can tell some sort of a processing / extraction tool went haywire and prepended binary junk in the front of the real data. The actual start of the data is a header with !BDN as the first 4 chars. The prepended junk from what I've seen can be roughly from 10-500 binary octets (chars). It is sort of like ram slack, but at the start of the files. (No idea how that happened). If I knew for certain that the binary junk didn't have any newlines in it, this sed script would get rid of the junk: find . -name \*.pst -exec sed -e '1s/^.*!BDN/!BDN/' -i "{}" \; I know I can write a program to do the same but working in binary and not worrying about intervening newlines. Is there a relatively straight forward way to accomplish the above? fyi: I'm going to try and get replacement uncorrupted data files as well, but that might be easier said than done.

[opensuse] how to add a group?
by Dave Howorth 13 Aug '18

13 Aug '18

I need to create a new group - 'plugdev' - and make my user a member of the group (it's apparently necessary for android dev tools). My first try was to go into YaST, make the new group and add myself to it. That appeared to work. But when I tested, it appears it hadn't: $ id uid=1000(dhoworth) gid=100(users) groups=100(users),16(dialout) So I started a new terminal window, in case that was necessary. Same output. So I went back into YaST and it shows I am a member of plugdev. But I still get the same output from the id command in a terminal. I looked in /etc/group and I'm listed as a member there. Here's another log from the terminal: dhoworth@acer-suse:~$ groups users dialout dhoworth@acer-suse:~$ groups dhoworth dhoworth : users dialout plugdev dhoworth@acer-suse:~$ whoami dhoworth What on earth is going on? Ah, if I su to myself then $ groups users dialout plugdev but still $ ./adb -a devices List of devices attached 74e3e048 no permissions (user dhoworth is not in the plugdev group); see [http://developer.android.com/tools/device.html] 74e3e048 no permissions (user dhoworth is not in the plugdev group); see [http://developer.android.com/tools/device.html] Gah!

[opensuse] Local rpm storage/cache
by Klaus Vink Slott 12 Aug '18

12 Aug '18

Hi I do a lot of testing at home and experimenting so I often have something like 10 virtual installs with opensuse running. Up to recently I had a unofficial mirror for base and update repositories. A simple cron job every night used wget to sync my local repository. By configuring my vm's to use this local repository I avoided downloading the same file again for each vm, during repeated install experiments and system updates. Now I am looking to replace my local mirror with something more flexible, so suggestions, best practice, pointers to examples is welcome. I not sure, but think that I'v seen a article on some Opensuse site, describing a solution based on nfs mounting the download directory on all hosts. Currently I see 3 possibilities: * continue to host a local mirror of selected repositories * configure some kind of nfs sharing between all hosts * add squid to my firewall each has pros and cons as I see it. -- Regards Klaus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

On previous versions of opensuse, I went into # /etc/sysconfig/SuSEfirewall2 and changed the appropriate line to FW_CONFIGURATIONS_EXT="sshd" Then I typed in insserv sshd as root and that set it up to always run. As things are now, in order to rsync my computers over ssh, I have to manually open port 22 in the firewall editor and run # systemctl start sshd.service I have to repeat that whenever I reboot the machine. -- George Box: 42.3 | KDE Plasma 5.8 | AMD Phenom IIX4 | 64 | 32GB Laptop #1: TW | Plasma 5.13 | AMD FX 7TH GEN | 64 | 32GB Laptop #2: 15.0 | KDE Plasma 5.8 | Core i5 | 64 | 8GB -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Booting with an encrypted home
by Carlos E. R. 09 Aug '18

09 Aug '18

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, On one machine (Leap 42.3) with encrypted home, when it boots and I'm not there it waits forever at the password prompt (not using plymouth). As it acts as my home server, this is incovenient: /etc/crypttab: cr_home /dev/disk/by-id/ata-KINGSTON... none none /etc/fstab: /dev/mapper/cr_home /home xfs lazytime,exec,nofail 1 2 On another machine (a laptop wit 15.0) if I don't type the password fast enough it goes into emergency mode, prompting me to repair or pressing control-D. It doesn't even wait 3 minutes: /etc/crypttab: cr_sda8 /dev/sda8 /etc/fstab: LABEL=Home /home xfs lazytime 0 1 Now, I would like to change things. I would prefer the first machine to boot anyway after, say, 5 minutes. And the same for the laptop. Another option would be to have the laptop wait forever. The rationale for the first one, the server, is that I might ssh as root or as plain user with home defined to somewhere different than /home, and enter the encryption password remotely. The rationale for the second one is that I boot it and I go look somewhere else; when I look again it is at the ^D prompt and I have to ctrl-alt-supr to retry. It is inconvenient, it waits too little time. I don't know how to control these timings decissions. - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.

[opensuse] Kudos to the 15.0 devs and those who made kde3 possible (both then and now)
by David C. Rankin 09 Aug '18

09 Aug '18

For those that don't check, You have a full kde3 build available for Leap 15.0. It works brilliantly. Special thanks to all that made it possible. I can't tell you how rewarding it is to have a full featured desktop that just works. No distractions, no worry about something not working correctly, no worry about having to collect data and file bug-reports, just working. Kudos for continuing to make that option available. For machines with limited RAM, there is no better desktop that provides as much, fully up and running with konqueror, kwrite and konsole in a total of 215M (that includes leap/everything) http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/KDE3/openSUSE_Leap_15.0 I have my plasma install, as well as fluxbox and i3, but by far, kde3 is the favorite. -- David C.

[opensuse] Category YUM?
by Richmond 08 Aug '18

08 Aug '18

I have two computers running opensuse 42.3. One of them was failing to refresh its repositories. When I looked in yast2 I noticed that the repositories had a category of YUM, whereas on the other computer the categories were YaST. I don't think this difference caused the failure to update, but when I delete and re-add repositories, sometimes they are YaST and sometimes YUM. Does it make any difference? Why is it different on one computer? How do I change the category from YUM to YaST? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

Ah, I did not notice that one, thanks. timeout= Specifies the timeout for querying for a password. If no unit is specified, seconds is used. Supported units are s, ms, us, min, h, d. A timeout of 0 waits indefinitely (which is the default). x-systemd.device-timeout= Specifies how long systemd should wait for a device to show up before giving up on the entry. The argument is a time in seconds or explicitly specified units of "s", "min", "h", "ms". I tried "timeout=0", but the system waits for 90 seconds only - it says so in the password prompt. So there must be somewhere else. This seems to be an undocumented change in Leap 15.0. Worse, the keyboard is ignored and I can not enter the password during that time. After 90 seconds it prompts for my root password and ignores it. With Ctrl-D it finally locks, only accepting ctrl-alt-supr. Rescue system, I see a typo in the UUID declaration. Corrected. It still ignores the keyboard, and times out at 90 seconds. But this time I'm finally allowed to enter the root password. All these lines make the system unbootable: > cr_sda8 UUID=1edf494d-d697-40b2-ba00-c7da0a1d5fbe - timeout=0 > cr_sda8 /dev/disk/by-uuid/1edf494d-d697-40b2-ba00-c7da0a1d5fbe - timeout=0 > cr_sda8 /dev/sda8 - timeout=0 > cr_sda8 /dev/sda8 none timeout=0 Only these works, with a time out of 90 seconds, unchangeable: cr_sda8 /dev/sda8 cr_sda8 UUID=1edf494d-d697-40b2-ba00-c7da0a1d5fbe cr_sda8 UUID=1edf494d-d697-40b2-ba00-c7da0a1d5fbe none none This other line: > cr_sda8 UUID=1edf494d-d697-40b2-ba00-c7da0a1d5fbe none timeout=300 is accepted, but the prompt text changes (doesn't print the timeout) and the timeout doesn't change.

[opensuse] firewall errors?
by Dave Howorth 08 Aug '18

08 Aug '18

I'm making some progress on my tvheadend problems. I've managed to retrieve a log file from the FireTV and it has log lines like: 21:38:05.039 T:18446744072835107104 ERROR: AddOnLog: Tvheadend HTSP Client: pvr.hts - unable to connect to 192.168.1.83:9982 Now if I look in the journal on my linux box using YaST, I see apparently relevant entries but it won't let me select them!!!!!! :( STUPID YAST. So off to find a way to look at the journal that WILL let me select text ... OK, I found journalctl, so here's an example: Aug 07 13:23:21 acer-suse kernel: SFW2-INext-DROP-DEFLT IN=eth0 OUT= MAC=d8:cb:8a:9c:3a:a5:60:6d:3c:05:af:5b:08:00 SRC=192.168.1.82 DST=192.168.1.83 LEN=60 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=64 ID=7538 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=57413 DPT=9982 WINDOW=65535 RES=0x00 SYN URGP=0 OPT (020405B40402080A089E4F7C0000000001030306) Now 192.168.1.82 is my FireTV, 192.168.1.83 is this linux box where tvheadend is running and port 9982 is the HTSP port of the tvheadend server. So it looks like my box is helpfully :( dropping these packets. The question is why? As far as I know I'm not running a firewall, so I go to YaST to check and see a Firewall Configuration box with a popup saying it is trying to connect to a firewalld and then an error (and again YaST won't let me select any of that text - what is that all about?). So as they say, WTF? What is going on here. Why is my machine dropping packets when I haven't told it to and apparently haven't even got a firewall installed? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

On Leap15 with Plasma5, the software updates app/applet/whatever says "18 updates", but "zypper lp" says 1 optional.

[opensuse] Everybody please watch this cat video!
by gumb 06 Aug '18

Just curious. When I play the following video on Twitter: https://twitter.com/sarperduman/status/1026158449091141632 I get the audio at twice the speed / pitch, meaning the audio is obviously not in sync with his hands and finishes after half a minute, leaving the rest of the video silent. The same thing happens with certain other videos from this same guy, but not all, and I've seen the same effect once or twice elsewhere on other accounts. I wonder if it's a more general problem with the original encoding, or a problem codec on Linux or openSUSE? This happens under Firefox on Leap 42.3. Opera says it cannot play the video, and Konqueror just shows the first static frame with no option to play. What happens when you play it, and on what browser/version/OS version? gumb -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] yast, mythweb and php version
by Dave Howorth 05 Aug '18

05 Aug '18

I'm trying to bring up mythweb. I've discovered that it's a separate package but am somewhat confused. Most of mythtv is v0.28 from packman and there is a mythweb package that is also 0.28, but there are also 0.27 & 0.26 versions and I'm not clear why. That's minor though, the main problem is that when I try to install mythweb I see an error: nothing provides apache2-mod_php5 But the only PHP module for apache seems to be v7: apache2-mod_php7 - PHP7 module for the Apache 2.x webserver and that is installed. Now according to https://code.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/12588 that problem was encountered three years ago and was fixed in mythweb two years ago apparently in v0.27. So 0.28 should be OK. So why am I seeing the error and is there any way I can work around it? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Best procedure to clone GPT disk into a larger disk?
by Carlos E. R. 05 Aug '18

05 Aug '18

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I have a 0.5TB rotating rust disk currently having Windows 10 (GPT and EFI) which I want to migrate to a 1TB SSD disk. My idea is to do a 'dd' of it. But then, once I make that boot, I want to enlarge the partition table and adds partitions for Linux and thus have double boot system. What is the procedure for that "enlarging" of a GPT disk? Does GPT hold structures at the end of the layout that have to be moved? Of course, I'm also googling "enlarging GPT disk, linux" and found hits, but seem to be about enlarging a partition, not the disk. Should perhaps I use clonezilla instead of dd?

[opensuse] keyboard in Leap 15.0

When I boot Leap 15 the vertical pipe symbol doesn't work. Instead it prints '>' and backslash prints '<'. I have a UK keyboard that has always worked fine.

So I select English(US) and then select English(UK) again and type again and this time see |\. Which would be fine except this happens every time I boot. Which is very annoying.

[opensuse] Which is better? Exchange 2016 or Linux-based SMTP Servers?
by Turritopsis Dohrnii Teo En Ming 02 Aug '18

02 Aug '18

Good evening from Singapore, I am torn between deploying Exchange 2016 and Linux-based SMTP servers like sendmail, postfix, qmail and exim. Relative ease of installation and configuration is an important consideration factor. Exchange 2016, Domain Controller, and Active Directory are relatively easy to install and configure. Linux-based SMTP servers are extremely difficult to install and configure and of course, extremely time-consuming. One of the features of Exchange 2016 is that you can create additional folders on your Inbox in the server (server-side). Can Linux-based SMTP servers do that? Does Exchange 2016 offer more user-friendly features or Linux-based SMTP servers? Besides the above considerations, how about security? Traditionally, Linux is far more secure than Windows. Judging by security, Linux-based SMTP servers ought to have a higher percentage of the market share? Finally, I can only use Windows Server 2016 Standard Evaluation Copy FREE for a period of 3 years MAXIMUM. But I can use Linux servers and Mail Transport Agents (MTA) FREE perpetually. Please advise. Thank you very much. ===BEGIN SIGNATURE=== Turritopsis Dohrnii Teo En Ming's Academic Qualifications as at 30 Oct 2017 [1] https://tdtemcerts.wordpress.com/ [2] http://tdtemcerts.blogspot.sg/ [3] https://www.scribd.com/user/270125049/Teo-En-Ming ===END SIGNATURE=== -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

by James Knott 02 Aug '18

I created this report because of a frequent problem with the desktop. Has anyone else noticed it? Also, I find, with 15.0, that some things are slower to start. For example, if I press Alt-F2, to do some function, and start typing, it takes a few seconds for the characters to appear. It seems sluggish in other ways too. https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1099565 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Small editor project - feedback

30 Jul '18

If anybody has the time (or need) for a small gtk based editor, I could use some help with testing a little project. Most recently word-completion was added along with the right-margin visual guide. Written in C with the Gtk+2 toolkit, the package is about 109k in size. Most systems will already have Gtk2 installed and the libgtksourceview package is about 300k. Both light and dark syntax highlight styles are included. For Leap 15, the package is: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/drankinatty/openSUSE_Leap_1… there are packages available for 13.1 - Leap 15.

[opensuse] Ancient OS and software
by Frans de Boer 30 Jul '18

30 Jul '18

LS, As is custom with previous releases of opensuse, leap 15 also has a unsupported and in linux terms ancient os embraced. I just wonder, why not use a LTS linux instead of an OS the opensuse developers have to maintain themself? Of course there is more ancient software like old gcc software etc. Okay, it is tried and stable and it compiles software which does not compile under 8.1 without modification due to syntax errors. A lot of old other stuff too. I do use TW when developing and in all those years it turns out as quite stable except for some glitches happening once a year. It feels like it is good enough for day to day office work, but if you want a little more...

[opensuse] Creating links in file browser
by Carlos E. R. 29 Jul '18

29 Jul '18

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I wonder if there is some file browser that would allow to select a number of files, and then create a hard-link of all of them in another directory. I have tried dolphin, nautilus, thunar, gnome commander. Some offer creating soft-links, I want hard links this time. Even Midnight Commander can't: it creates hard link only for the currently selected file only, and asks for destination name. Single file and prompt, so no use for this. Nautilus, for instance, can create soft-links on the selection, but then can not select a bunch of files by pattern. I have to select all, then delete by pattern using something else. Thunar can select by pattern, but not create links of any kind instead of copy. No tool is complete yet? Then Nautilus goes nuts, processing my directory that I'm trying to link, which is full of photos, doing the preview of a thousand photos. Both on the original and the copy. Then tracker-store goes nuts as well, at 100% CPU. All my 4 cores are busy :-( - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.

[opensuse] kodi logging in the wine directories
by Dave Howorth 29 Jul '18

29 Jul '18

Why is kodi logging under .wine? I just did a search to find if kodi made any logs. I was very surprised to find a log in /home/piglet/home/dhoworth/.wine/dosdevices/y:/.kodi/temp/kodi.log /home/piglet/home/dhoworth/ is a data directory where I keep most of my personal files. Lots of things have symbolic links from /home/dhoworth to there because there is more space there. e.g. /home/dhoworth/Pictures -> ../piglet/home/dhoworth/Pictures/ .wine is there because in the dim and distant past it used to actually be my home directory and in those dim and distant days I occasionally used wine, but I haven't used it for ages. So why has the newly installed kodi decided to write a log in such an obscure place? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] snapperd when I start a service?

[opensuse] chromium update?
by Dave Howorth 27 Jul '18

27 Jul '18

I've just got a 'security' update for chromium, together with an 'optional' update. The optional update lists a load of ffmpeg packages which on my system come from packman, not opensuse. So my instinct was to refuse the optional update. So I accepted the security update and it said it wants to 'conditionally update' (=install) libavutil56, libavcode58, libswresample3 and libavformat58. That would mean I have a mixture of libav* components from packman and opensuse. Is that wise? What is supposed to happen here?

[opensuse] tvheadend access control
by Dave Howorth 26 Jul '18

26 Jul '18

I want to try tvheadend as an alternative to mythtv. I installed the package and started the service from YaST. It's running. I believe all setup is supposed to be done through its web interface at http://localhost:9981/ but when I go there I am presented with an 'Authentication Required' dialog. I gather that the vanilla tvheadend is open-access when shipped and any required access control is added after installation and configuration from within the web interface. So I can only suppose that somebody decided unrestricted access was dangerous and modified the program before shipping the opensuse version. I've tried a few obvious candidate name-password pairs. I've looked in what seem to me to be the obvious places for any documentation, or configuration file that contains details of the required username and password, but have failed to find any such. Does anybody know how to get access to tvheadend's web interface? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] MythTV
by Dave Howorth 22 Jul '18

22 Jul '18

I'm planning to install MythTV. It's not clear to me so far exactly what I need to install or what I need to do. YaST lists a bunch of mythtv packages from packman. The latest available seems to be 27 whilst I understand the current version of mythtv is 29. I don't see any particular package that installs it. The closest I have found is mythtv-0_27-setup and its description says "MythTV provides a unified graphical interface for recording and viewing television programs. Refer to the mythtv package for more information. This package contains only the setup software for configuring the mythtv backend." But there is no mythtv package listed. As it happens, I think I do want the backend, because I'm installing a tuner card (TBS6205) so I can record programmes. I intend to then export them over my network to a FireTV box plugged into my TV and running kodi, although I'm open to better ideas. I don't yet know whether I'll want any separate means of controlling what mythtv records on the server. google has led me to the mythtv wiki but I haven't found anything there that fills me with confidence yet. https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Setup_General seems close but is for the current version, not the old version on packman. google also shows various people apparently overwhelmed by complexity, which is why I'd like to find an accurate set of instructions.

Does anyone have experience with or use a package(rpm) that can act as printer, and print the result to an Adobe-PDF formatted file? Looking for something like Adobe's "Pdf-printer" software that they used to sell...that would act as an installed printer on Windows -- that you just printed to -- and a popup would ask for the name of the file for it to save-to, but that would run on linux.

[opensuse] grub2 chainloading
by Istvan Gabor 20 Jul '18

20 Jul '18

Hello: It will be a little bit long to explain what I want to do. I have several linux OS-es on a hard disk. Each OS has its own boot loader installed on the OS's root partitition. The MBR has also a boot loader. This boot loader chainloads the other boot loaders on the root partitions. This makes easy to completely separate different boot menus for different OS-es. For the management of the above scenario at least one of the OS-es must have 2 different boot loader install configurations, one for the mbr boot loader (chainloader) and one for the OS's own boot loader on the root partition. This can be easily done by using legacy GRUB boot loader by making two separate directories for the chainloader and the other configuration. Each directory contains all the files necessary to install and make work GRUB boot loader. Legacy GRUB has command option --prefix which enables to use different GRUB config files for different GRUB installations. Here's an example: To install MBR grub chainloader: In grub shell I use: setup --force-lba --prefix=/boot/grub.chainload (hd0) (hd0,0) # in this case config files in /boot/grub.chainload dir are used. And to install the OS's own boot loader on the root partition: setup --force-lba (hd0,0) (hd0,0) # here the default /boot/grub is used. Now my question: how can I do the same with GRUB2? I would like to have a main GRUB2 menu/loader on the MBR which chainloads GRUB2 loaders on the different root partitions. Since GRUB2 configuration files are spotted at different places (/etc/default/grub, /boot/grub2/grub.cfg, /etc/grub.d/* scripts), I don't know how I could make different configuration files for the different install locations, not to mentions how I could install the different GRUB2 loaders to different locations (to mbr and to the root partition). I would appreciate any help in this matter. Thanks in advance, Istvan ps: Please don't ask me why I do want to do this and please do not suggest that I use one GRUB2 menu to load all of the different OS-es. I want to do it because I could do it with legacy GRUB and I expect that it is doable with the advanced GRUB2 too, and anyway I got used to do it that way.

[opensuse] evince in kde/plasma windowsize
by Simon Becherer 19 Jul '18

19 Jul '18

Hi, using evince in kde/plasma tumbleweed. some questions: 1) sometimes when started, its in very small windows, and i am not able to resizeit by moving mouse courser to the frame and press button and move. only right klick at top frame and selecting resize will change size. (complete enlarging works - but this is way to big for huge screens) how to start at fixed size (normaly right cklick at top frame and then "weitere aktionen" (more actions) "spezielle einstellungen fuer dieses fenster" (special settings for this windows) but the evince window did not have such a dialog. 2) all windows normally have a small black frame around, so if gray window is on gray window, you could see where is the end of the window. evince window did not have this small black frame. how to get a such frame, or how to change color of the evince window? 3) or (alternative) is there a possibility for okular to tell them "rotate and resize printing always to fit paper?) because this is was evince will do, okular not (somtimes it refuses to resize to "a3" at all, and because of manual rotation i need twice as much paper to rotate always for all printers correct..... simoN -- www.becherer.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] thunderbird in TW
by George from the tribe 19 Jul '18

19 Jul '18

Ok, with my new TW installation, I received the higher version of Thunderbird for email - it is 59.2. Problem - the lightning calendar addon that is downloadable from Mozilla has the highest max thunderbird version that it is compatible with as 52.9, not 59.2. However, this link https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Calendar/Calendar_Versions indicates that there is a stable release of Lightning available all the way up to thunderbird 62.0. So, if I upgrade lightning to the highest stable release, I should be able to run the lightning calendar addon. Problem - I cannot find where to actually download that higher stable release. The link I posted there only says it has been released. It has instructions on how to click on the link and go to the "development channel," but going there (which I assume is the same as the "developer home", as that is the only thing that sounds almost like "development channel"), there is no indication anywhere that I can find of the latest "stable" releases for download. So the other option is to downgrade thunderbird to an earlier version, one that is not available in tumbleweed. I don't really know how feasible that is Any ideas? I want to stick with tumbleweed because I can finally use my mouse pad and the graphics look nicer, as well as it being generally smoother and faster (IMHO). -- George Box: 42.3 | KDE Plasma 5.8 | AMD Phenom IIX4 | 64 | 32GB Laptop #1: TW | Plasma 5.13 | AMD FX 7TH GEN | 64 | 32GB Laptop #2: 42.3 | KDE Plasma 5.8 | Core i5 | 64 | 8GB -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Tmux froze and would not refresh.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, A curiosity. I had to shuffle around some power cables on my home-server/media-center, and instead of powering it down, I hibernated it. I power it back, and I continue doing things on it remotely via ssh. Then I notice that while my tmux session on it responded to create a new tab or switch tabs, the tabs themselves did not refresh. Then I noticed that the X display on the server had frozen, did not respond to mouse or keyboard, not even to ctrl-alt-backspace.

And I forgot to capture to file the crash dump. However, what surprised me is that "tmux" did not respond. The contents of the "tabs" froze. The X graphical session had one terminal with tmux running, and tmux could not update its contents on the frozen display... I wonder if next time I can do something to disconnect tmux from the frozen display and regain control of my important tasks running inside :-? - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.
