[opensuse] zypper hangs - strange network-related issue?

[opensuse] RTL8812AU woes - now "works" but some things hang
by Mikhail Ramendik 20 Dec '17

20 Dec '17

Hello, Well, while I was trying to get a tcpdump output. the RTL8812AU thing started working. Sort of. It got an IPv4 address. Then after a reboot pings started working. That may have been caused by me retyping the WPA-PSK password, or not. However, not all is well. While pings are stable, some network transactions just hang. Google Mail gets mysteriously stuck at "still working" and zypper gets stuck at a download that, actually, works fine with wget. I even created a thread on zypper but then realized it might be the card, and it was. Of course I tried lowering MTU but it just won't lower MTU. Using yast, I set it to 1400 in the /etc/sysconfig editor (then rebooted), and it is also at 1400 in the network settings editor, but it is still 1500 in the ifconfig output. So I reverted to the old 2.4Ghz card which also has an MTU of 1500 but everything works right. How can I troubleshoot this now? If the dongle is broken, it's broken in a very strange way. And anyway a lower MTU *should* help, because pings work - but I can't lower the MTU and that is certainly not a hardware issue. -- Yours, Mikhail Ramendik Unless explicitly stated, all opinions in my mail are my own and do not reflect the views of any organization -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

If you have a 4KB drive it is best to ensure it doesn't do an optimization for aligning with the old practice of starting the first partition on sector 63. I've never seen one that supported the sector 63 alignment, but I understand those that do have a jumper to control it.

[opensuse] Wi-Fi dongle not getting IPv4 address
by Mikhail Ramendik 19 Dec '17

19 Dec '17

So I thought it was the RTL8812AU driver, but now I used a version tested by Linux Kamarada of this list (thanks!) and I am still having the problem. I have a new Wi-Fi dongle (5 GHz/2.4GHz, wlan1) as well as a PCI card (2.4 only, which is why I want to use the new dongle; wlan0). I configure both with wicked in yast. Unfortunately, while the new dongle appears to connect to the wireless network, it fails to get an IPv4 address and no communication happens. After ifdown wlan1 and ifup wlan1 , I see "setup-in-progress". The only stuff added in dmesg at ifup wlan1: [ 1525.360875] cfg80211: Regulatory domain changed to country: GB [ 1525.360878] cfg80211: DFS Master region: ETSI [ 1525.360878] cfg80211: (start_freq - end_freq @ bandwidth), (max_antenna_gain, max_eirp), (dfs_cac_time) [ 1525.360882] cfg80211: (2402000 KHz - 2482000 KHz @ 40000 KHz), (N/A, 2000 mBm), (N/A) [ 1525.360884] cfg80211: (5170000 KHz - 5250000 KHz @ 80000 KHz, 160000 KHz AUTO), (N/A, 2000 mBm), (N/A) [ 1525.360886] cfg80211: (5250000 KHz - 5330000 KHz @ 80000 KHz, 160000 KHz AUTO), (N/A, 2000 mBm), (0 s) [ 1525.360887] cfg80211: (5490000 KHz - 5710000 KHz @ 160000 KHz), (N/A, 2700 mBm), (0 s) [ 1525.360889] cfg80211: (57000000 KHz - 66000000 KHz @ 2160000 KHz), (N/A, 4000 mBm), (N/A) iwconfig and ifconfig outputs, which show the problem: # iwconfig wlan1 wlan1 IEEE 802.11abgn ESSID:"Ramendik_44_5Ghz" Mode:Managed Frequency:5.18 GHz Access Point: 70:50:AF:CC:3B:05 Bit Rate=867 Mb/s Tx-Power=12 dBm Retry short limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Encryption key:off Power Management:off Link Quality=36/70 Signal level=-74 dBm Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0 # ifconfig wlan1 wlan1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0F:00:37:B8:6D inet6 addr: fe80::20f:ff:fe37:b86d/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:871 errors:0 dropped:670 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:72 errors:0 dropped:78 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:81082 (79.1 Kb) TX bytes:11537 (11.2 Kb) When I look into the admin interface of the router, I actually see this device listed under the IPv6 address. But normal communication is IPv4 and that does not work. I tried to set "DHCP version 4 only" for this interface in yast, this does not change anything. Unfortunately, the router does not let me disable its "Enable IPv6 DHCP server" setting. This is also not some incompatibility of the router with Linux. A laptop that runs Fedora (with the iwlwifi driver for its built-in WLAN) connects to the same 5GHz network just fine. So how do I make wlan1 use IPv4 as normal? And are there any other logs I should look at? Of course this is a new dongle ordered from China, so there is a chance of a hardware failure. But this looks like a strange kind of hardware failure? Or should I suspect one? I do have a Windows 10 machine, so if I have no other option I can try and set the dongle up in that machine just to see if it works. But I'd rather resolve my problems just with Linux. -- Yours, Mikhail Ramendik Unless explicitly stated, all opinions in my mail are my own and do not reflect the views of any organization -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] multiboot vis-a-vis /boot/efi/EFI/opensuse
by Felix Miata 19 Dec '17

19 Dec '17

Neither https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:UEFI nor anything I've found so far suggests how to multiboot multiple releases of the same distribution. I see I can create new entries with efibootmgr, but can each openSUSE installation ever use the same /boot/efi/EFI/opensuse/, or does each need its own directory with unique names? Do I create a new entry for the first after renaming the original (TW20171214 is already installed), or after copying the original to a new name? Does the Grub that actually does the work on a / partition need to be reconfigured with a unique directory name in /boot/efi/EFI/? Nothing was evident in the bootloader phase of TW installation to address EFI directory naming. My ultimate expectation is to EFI boot more or less the same way as with Legacy Grub and MBR, with a main boot menu I configure on a partition not managed by any installed distro, possibly rEFInd or AiR-Boot, and each distro's own bootloader configured by it to exclude any other installed distro (os-prober disabled). With EFI, I anticipate efibootmgr to be sufficient to the task at least initially. -- "Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom. Whatever else you get, get wisdom."

I installed iperf3 on my desktop and notebook computers. When I run it as a server on my desktop, it displays a text box that say server listening on 5201. I then run it as a client on my notebook computer. After a while it times out saying it can't reach the server, even though pinging the same address works. When I run Wireshark, I don't see any traffic from iperf3.

[opensuse] Running Ubuntu bins on openSUSE
by Roger Oberholtzer 18 Dec '17

18 Dec '17

(I think this is a libusb question). I am trying to run some Ubuntu 16.04 binaries on openSUSE Leap 42.3. I have added whatever Ubuntu libraries are different (based on names) to a directory on openSUSE. I can actually run quite a bit. The software is an SDK for high-speed USB3 cameras from Flir (formerly Point Grey). I can run a QT GUI as well as simple command line programs to try to access images from the cameras. The applications talk to the camera. Everything works except getting an image. In strace I see that it is in a futex waiting and waiting. I have obviously been in contact with Flir support. But we are none the wiser. Saying that you are not running Ubuntu is pretty much the same as saying that you are not running Windows... I do not know that the issue is in libusb. I do not have the source (or it would not be a Ubuntu app...). I can only guess that it is since that must be how the SDK gets images. I have tried the standard openSUSE libusb as well as the one for Ubuntu. It makes no difference. Anyone have any experience running Ubuntu binaries on openSUSE? It seems it is so close to working. But close is not good enough. -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Get an SSD just for swap?
by Mikhail Ramendik 18 Dec '17

18 Dec '17

Hello, I have a 8Gb Pengium G2120 system with a normal WD Red 3 TB hard drive. Most of the time it actually does what I want just fine. Unfortunately, sometimes it starts to swap and then becomes very slow immediately. I tried reducing swappiness to 10, now it starts to swap in less cases - but when it does it basically hangs for a few minutes. I can't afford a full upgrade (CPU. Mobo, RAM), especially with current RAM prices. And I am not sure I should spend money on more DDR3 RAM now, especially since I am not exactly sure if what I have is DDR3 or DDR3L and how new additional RAM will affect the system. So I wonder - would it help to get a small (16-32G) SATA SSD and use it just for swapping? As this is for swap only, I can get a cheap SSD (if it breaks I just lose one session). I can get a 32Gb SSD for about 25 Euro, while an extra 8GB of RAM would apparently set me back more like 50 Euro. But will this work? -- Yours, Mikhail Ramendik Unless explicitly stated, all opinions in my mail are my own and do not reflect the views of any organization -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] How do I get installation USB? Or install from HDD?
by Mikhail Ramendik 17 Dec '17

17 Dec '17

So I want to install OpenSUSE Leap 42.3 on my new SSD. I have the old 42.3 (upgraded 42.1>.2>.3) on the HDD and I also have the laptop with Fedora. The laptop has a better Wi-Fi connection so I tried to use that to download stuff. And I do not have an easy way to connect with Ethernet, so I am wary of the netinst image. Ideally I would want a "bootstrap"m where I boot from the existing HDD and run the installer for the SSD. I could not google out such an option. I have downloaded openSUSE-Leap-42.3-DVD-x86_64.iso and I have a 32G USB stick. So first I tried the live-fat-stick script, but it turned out the file was too big for teh FAT32 file system. So I tried, on Fedora: # dd if=openSUSE-Leap-42.3-DVD-x86_64.iso of=/dev/sda bs=4M status=progress && sync Unfortunately, dd came to the expected size and then hung. Ctrl+C would not stop it. I pulled out the USB stick and the installer has booted, but the image appears corrupt - checksums of multiple repo files are reported wrong. I did not risk installing from it. So I need a way to place that image on the USB stick (ideally on Fedora but I can get the file onto the OpenSUSE machine by reformatting the stick as ext4 temporarily), or else I need a way to install from HDD. Advice on either would be much appreciated! -- Yours, Mikhail Ramendik Unless explicitly stated, all opinions in my mail are my own and do not reflect the views of any organization -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] /boot not mounted on fresh install
by Mikhail Ramendik 17 Dec '17

17 Dec '17

Hello, So I have the nice fresh install of Leap 42.3 on SSD. And after installing a few things I checked free space with df -h and found /boot was missing. After mount /boot (as root) it was present all right. But if /boot is not mounted, won't it mix up automatic updates if they try to update the kernel? If so, why did the system get configured like that by default? Or else how could /boot be unmounted? If it matters, I now have an encrypted /home but the rest of the system is not encrypted.

[opensuse] Partitioning LVM in Leap installer
by Mikhail Ramendik 17 Dec '17

17 Dec '17

Hello, So I managed to get the Leap installer running from a USB stick. Did it on Fedora, even. Formatted the stick as ext4 and used live-grub-stick. It could not find grub-install which was fixed by: # ln -s /usr/sbin/grub2-install /usr/local/bin/grub-install Then it ran and now I have the installer. But I do not like the proposed partitioning of the new SSD. (Swap too small at 10G; with use of ext4 it also makes root too small at another 10G). So I wenr into expert partitioner. But I want LVM and I'm unable, so far, to get LVM. I have created a primary partition /dev/sda1 for /boot and an extender partition /dev/sda2. I used all of the extended partition for an LVM partition which is /dev/sda5. But how can I make this expert partitioner thing add a volume group and then actual volumes to the LVM partition? When I go to Volume Management, I only see the existing LVM group on the HDD and seem to have no way to add a volume on the SSD. Or do I need to partition the SSD from the command line and only then use the installer, just because I want LVM and do ont like the proposed settings? -- Yours, Mikhail Ramendik Unless explicitly stated, all opinions in my mail are my own and do not reflect the views of any organization -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] how much swap, again?

Hi, all -- I am finally breaking out my Linux Mag DVD to install on my shiny used laptop, and the partitioner has me scratching my head. I have 8G of RAM, and I gave myself about 17G of swap space when I laid out the disk. The partitioner has a check box for "Enlarge swap for suspend", although it isn't selectable (perhaps because I have my OS partition right behind it?). Sooooo... How much swap do I need if I'm planning to suspend to disk (aka hibernate as compared to sleep, but I forget the s2/s3/... stages)?

[opensuse] bluetooth question [42.3]
by listreader 17 Dec '17

17 Dec '17

I solved my previous BT problem by changing the notification method. LXDE(gtk) still has too much Gnome in it whose default notification scheme prevents LXDE(gtk) from displaying the passcode on screen so I never could pair the two previously since I could neither see nor answer the inquiry. Solved. Now, I need to multi-boot with a bluetooth keyboard on an older machine with no bluetooth support in its BIOS. I want to be able to get into the BIOS if necessary at boot time as well as have the BT keyboard functional when grub2 appears but the way it is now (with USB/BT dongle) BT and keyboard only become active after the OS loads. Question is: there are add-on internal BT boards. Any one have any experience with these for non-laptops? Do these boards have a BIOS or whatever to permit what I need to do? The machine has both PCIe (1x) and PCI slots open but no mini-PCIe motherboard sockets. Thanks.

[opensuse] recommendation for dual boot setup with Win/Bitlocker
by Wolfgang Rosenauer 16 Dec '17

16 Dec '17

Hi, seems I'm not quite up to date with modern hardware installations. What I've got: - a modern new laptop with UEFI, SecureBoot, Windows 10, Bitlocker encrypted I got Leap 42.3 installed in UEFI mode meanwhile after workarounding a few things. (like https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=939456) Now I can boot openSUSE as expected but Windows does not boot from the grub menu because Bitlocker lost its trust apparently. I found a workaround to boot into Windows again by using the BIOS EFI boot menu where I can select the Windows Boot Loader before grub is loaded. But this is a tedious procedure. What is the best practice to be able to boot into one simple menu by default where I can start openSUSE or Windows without issues?

[opensuse] Leap 42.3 install woes
by Michael Fischer 14 Dec '17

14 Dec '17

First time in years this wasn't smooth. Machine is "Dell XPS 8920 XPS8920-7922BLK-PUS Tower Desktop" https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N325O8P/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?… Seems like dell doesn't sell it direct anymore, but it might still be too new for Leap 42.3 to handle. (possiblity that I got a defective one is not impossible - the graphics card wants a kernel upgrade, to be sure) Symptoms: 1) goes into text mode and stays there - not a surprise given the graphics card wants kernel 4.10 (it also keeps blinking the screen even in text mode) 2) tries to DHCP both the network interfaces, fails as I don't run DHCP At least it does know about both interfaces. 3) I hit "BACK" in the curses window, and it goes through language, and then get "Main Menu". Here I choose "Expert" and discover that it can't figure out where the DVD drive is - in fact, it only recognizes a "Multi Card Reader" and none of the HD, SSD nor DVD. 4) Choosing DVD / CD-ROM for Installation Source Medium gets "No Repository Found" It *does* seem to recognize a random thumb-drive when I insert it and ask "System Information" -> "Hard Disks or CD-ROMs". Maybe I need to burn the iso to such a thumb-drive? Though the bios might not go for it. Also, if 42.3 somehow can't work out the DVD drive at installation, that doesn't bode well for using it for oh, playing DVDs after a successful install... I'm off to try the thumb-drive approach. Suggestions welcomed. TIA Michael -- Michael Fischer michael(a)visv.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Leap 421 to 423 upgrade problem - udev
by listreader 14 Dec '17

14 Dec '17

I just upgraded my last 421 to 423. Kept the LXDE (gtk) desktop. Not so smooth upgrade. I didn't uninstall a proprietary driver first because: what could go wrong :-D Answer: ha ha ha. Hours to figure out what was going on and then to fix it. And the needed proprietary uninstaller was, of course, on an inaccessible LUKS drive. But anyway, now fixed. Another problem, not fixed: everything seems to work fine but the log is filled with thousands of the following lines (except the first line, which isn't repeated). The lines continue to be generated after the system is running. systemd[1]: Started udev Kernel Device Manager. systemd-udevd[1079]: failed to execute '/usr/lib/udev/socket:@/org/freedesktop/hal/udev_event' 'socket:@/org/freedesktop/hal/udev_event': No such file or directory systemd-udevd[1077]: Process 'socket:@/org/freedesktop/hal/udev_event' failed with exit code 2. systemd-udevd[1086]: failed to execute '/usr/lib/udev/socket:@/org/freedesktop/hal/udev_event' 'socket:@/org/freedesktop/hal/udev_event': No such file or directory systemd-udevd[1077]: Process 'socket:@/org/freedesktop/hal/udev_event' failed with exit code 2.

[opensuse] Fritz!Box telephony in the US

While hoping that the FCC doesn't kill network neutrality, I'm thinking about setting up VoIP at home to kiss my monthly phone bill good-bye. I've read up a bit on the router made in Germany called the Fritz!Box which purports to include in it the hardware and software and that it will work with US phones (the old, standard landline phones every American over twelve should have seen). Does anyone have first-hand experience using VoIP with the Fritz!Box in the US? I'm considering their model 7590.

This is exactly what I did (booted from both harddisks and tried every combination of partitions in root, cmdpath and prefix). grub2 also finds the needed files (otherwise the error is "file `linux.mod' not found."). But it keeps the error about grub_tpm_measure, despite which module I try to load normal or linux. as both hard disks are raid1, the content should also be the same, only 2 partitions, swap at the beginning and btrfs containing all other filesystems.

[opensuse] Cleanest way to mount LUKS
by Mikhail Ramendik 12 Dec '17

12 Dec '17

Hello, I would like to create a LUKS drive, requiring a password to access, in order to store data for a confidential project. I don't think I want to encrypt the entire machine as my CPU is pretty basic (Pentium G2120) and I'm worried about performance. (Or is this a non-issue?) Anyway - what is the cleanest way to create and then mount a LUKS drive in Leap? Ideally I want some sort of automount with a GUI prompt for password when I try to access the path. I could live with a manual mount command and password entry. provided I do not have to do it as root. Also, should I use a file or a partition? Is it possible to have a LUKS drive that grows automatically as needed if I use a file? -- Yours, Mikhail Ramendik Unless explicitly stated, all opinions in my mail are my own and do not reflect the views of any organization -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] preempt rt and Leap 42.3 kernel
by Roger Oberholtzer 12 Dec '17

12 Dec '17

I think there was a discussion about this a while back. But I'm just checking the current consensus. The Leap 42.3 kernel seems not to have the PREEMPT_RT patches applied. Or at least I do not see it in uname -a. Is this correct? I recall that there was some discussion that concluded that the default Linux kernel has most of this as standard, so the patch was no longer needed.

[opensuse] Nautilus/totem, viewing a video from phone
by Carlos E. R. 10 Dec '17

10 Dec '17

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I'm clearing out whatsap videos from my Android phone. Nautilus opens the folder on the phone using MTP. I can view those files with Xine, but not with Totem, which complains that "MTP protocol source is required to play the file, but is not installed". It proposes to "find in software", which fails because packagekit is not installed, I guess. It is anyway curious, because the video file can be transparently accessed in: /run/user/1000/gvfs/mtp:host=%5Busb%3A007%2C005%5D/Almac. interno/WhatsApp... For instance, I access it with "midnight commander". Or xine: xine /run/user/1000/gvfs/mtp:host=%5Busb%3A007%2C005%5D/Almac. interno/WhatsApp/Media/WhatsApp Video/VID-20171031-WA0028.mp4 and that runs transparently without the application knowing that it is accessed via MTP; it is just another file in the filesystem.

[opensuse] https/http redirection on client
by Istvan Gabor 10 Dec '17

10 Dec '17

Hello: Earlier I used a program called texprinter to fetch stackexchange threads (website is https://tex.stackexchange.com/) in pdf format. The program's site is http://texprinter.sourceforge.net. This is a java program, it asks for the thread id and it downloads the thread in a pdf or a tex file. The problem is that the program hasn't been updated for a while. In the meantime stackexchange started to use https service, that is all http:// requests are redirected to https:// protocol. But texprinter cannot handle the redirection/https protocol and fails to find the requested page. Is there any application I can install locally and could convert the outgoing http request to https and convert back the incoming https answer to http, so that texprinter could handle it. I tried to google for local proxy servers but could not find out if any of these could be used such a way.

There is disk activity as if the machine was threashing, but I know that situation with Firefox tab overload and the machine still responds to mouse movement and I can still hot-key Alt-F1 to a vtty, which I can't with this lock-up. I can do it slow or do it fast. I can do it slow by just bring up Chromium and opening a few tabs, a couple of eBay items, a tiddlywiki application. As I say after about ten minutes I get the lockout. I can do it fast by trying to transfer a few tabs from Firefox using the "Open In Chrome" add-on. This says in the "About: The intended use case is when you suddenly realize you have more tabs opened in Firefox than the browser can handle without slowing to a crawl. Chrome has no problem handling a lot of tabs and as such is better suited for managing a lot of tabs. This plugin provides an easy way to migrate you opened tabs off Firefox onto Google Chrome, so you can close down the tabs in Firefox and make the browser usable again. It's OK when I use it in single-tab mode, but if I try it with as few as four tabs then the I get an instant freeze. The idea of opening 40 or 80 tabs is ludicrous! Yes, I know I should take this latter to the developer of the plugin but since Chromium seems to lock up even when I'm not using that, I don't see it makes any difference.

[opensuse] Why so many 32bit packages on 64bit install?
by Larry Stotler 07 Dec '17

07 Dec '17

I just did a fresh install of 42.3 64bit. I had the dvd to do the install, but had to update on a very metered connection, so I went through the installed packages to find out what I could remove to save data. Now, I thought this had been addressed before, but after searching around the archive of this list, I didn't find anything. Why are like 80 some 32bit packages installed by default? I ended up removing and the taboo-ing all of them to save my data allowance. I do not have any 32bit programs installed at all, no WINE or anything else, so I am not sure why so many packages got installed. I allowed YaST to break the dependencies and have not had any issues so far but I am concerned that I may end up with some. So my question is, are there really any 32bit packages that need to be a dependency on a pure 64bit install? If not, then why are they added by default during the install, when no 32bit programs are selected? I've been running S.u.S.E. since v5.3 and I think my biggest frustration has been unwanted packages installed by default as dependencies, or failing to install due to an unsolvable dependency(tho this has gotten rarer over the years, but boy was it a pain when I was on dailup at the beginning). I never install stuff like pulseaudio, avahi, libreoffice, etc. but I'm always warned I may be breaking the install when I taboo a lot of them.

[opensuse] mDNS TTL
by James Knott 07 Dec '17

07 Dec '17

All the recent discussion about mDNS caused me to fire up Wireshark, to look at some mDNS packets. I have seen several queries and responses. The queries have a TTL of 1, which is per spec, but the responses have 255. Why is this? Multicast addresses in the 224.0.0.0/24 range are supposed to only have a TTL of 1. The IPv4 address for mDNS is 224.0.0.251. Typical TTL for outgoing packets is 64. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] OT: Web App / Service Project
by Paul Groves 06 Dec '17

06 Dec '17

So I am at last tackling my next project which I need to create a service to run on linux in the background with a web front end to manage it. One example would be plex media server, which has a service running as root. The service starts up a web server to allow the user to manage the program from a web front end as well as the service running other code in the background. Of course I am not making my own version of plex, that is just an example of how I need my program to run. Since this is the first time I have made such a program, what would be the best way to go about this? Could apache be used as the web server for this? Any and all advice is appreciated. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Looking for openSUSE Account management
by Bjoern Voigt 04 Dec '17

04 Dec '17

Hello, I am searching for an user-friendly account management solution for openSUSE and for a small company with around 15 users. For security reasons I used different passwords for different users in the past (e.g. a user has one username/password für SMTP/IMAP, one for Apache authentication, one for Samba). This isn't so critical anymore, because most services are secured by a restricted VPN (user authentication with smart card and user/password authentication) now. Unfortunately the existing solution can't be managed user-friendly and it does not scale, if the company grows: * users can not change their passwords in most services * users can not recovery their lost passwords in most services * password change and password recovery functions in one service can not be used for other services (e.g. the command line program to change Samba passwords from Microsoft can not change the Apache password) * I do not want to know the passwords for my users as Root (resetting passwords for other users should work) Here is my wishlist for the account management solution: * users can change their passwords with a user-friendly application or a web portal * users can recovery their lost passwords via e-mail (or an other alternative) * common services like Apache, Dovecot, Samba are supported * administrators can manage all accounts * support for Windows 10/Mac users and Linux servers (openSUSE, Ubuntu) * password synchronization or password caches between the Linux servers (no single point of failure) * secure passwords (e.g. no MD5 encrypted passwords), password rules and other common security features (e.g. Fail2Ban support) * commercial solutions which costs more than 1000 EUR each year are less attractive Any tips?

The migration to 42.3 with over 1/2 its usable lifetime expired makes little since. In the past when circumstances such as this arose, there were accommodations made to insure there wasn't a forced update to a version that would expire within 12 months. This is another good opportunity to do so. The two-year lifecycle is a good thing, but when version releases are pushed, then it would make sense to extend for just these reasons.

[opensuse] Again, trying to find a suitable video editor.
by Carlos E. R. 02 Dec '17

02 Dec '17

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I simply can't find a suitable video editor that works. My goal is to extract the interesting parts of a TV recording. Ie, mark the start of the movie, the end, the commercials inside, and dump all that into a single file, perhaps recoding. One limitation is that movies here have two sound tracks, one in Spanish, and the other one in the original language, typically English. I want to keep both, obviously. I don't need any transition or effect, just a simple editor that allows me to remove unwanted sections. I have tried: pitivi - crashes on start LiVES - works for an hour at 100% CPU and can't load the file. dvbcut - says my mpeg file is not a video (and it certainly is!) tragtor - can convert, but not edit. openshot - almost. My video has two sound tracks, and this tool ignores the second track. cinelerra-cv - I can't make head or tails of it. I tell it to load a video file, it does, but then I don't see how to do anything. It doesn't even display the video. I may have to read the manual, but I dislike having to read a manual for a GUI. Still... kdenlive - Well... crashes too often. I can mark the cuts, but it does not display what I'm cutting. And only one sound track. HandBrake - no edit. Avidemux - one sound track only. Kino - abandonware. Lightworks ?? Shotcut - Segmentation fault on start. cer@Telcontar:~/Videos/Fusion/trabajo> shotcut QSqlDatabase: QSQLITE driver not loaded QSqlDatabase: available drivers: QMYSQL QMYSQL3 QSqlQuery::exec: database not open QSqlQuery::exec: database not open Database::Database(QObject*) Failed to get version.

[opensuse] bluetooth problem (42.3, 42.1)
by listreader 02 Dec '17

02 Dec '17

I have a new Dell T3620 workstation which has a very cool wireless keyboard (WK717) that handles 3 devices simultaneously (hardware slide-switch on top the keyboard). One connection is by a Dell proprietary dongle, similar to a Logitech dongle, and the other two connections are bluetooth. Didn't come with the extra bluetooth dongles needed for most desktops so I bought a couple on eBay that are fully within the Dell specs and also listed in the (old?) openSUSE HCL as working (Cambridge CSR 4.0) My main business OS on the T3620 is 42.3 with a XFCE desktop. The wireless dongle is connected to this one and works great in 42.3, instantly recognized, instant plug-and-play. The second machine I need to connect is an old HP DC7800 Core 2 Duo with a half-dozen OS's on-board. I plugged in a bluetooth dongle and booted up Win10 and that was plug-and-play, OS found the dongle, presented a bluetooth icon in the tray, and pairing to the keyboard was easy. But, the OS I need to use with the bluetooth on this machine is 42.1 with an LXDE desktop and I'm not getting how to get it working. The 42.1 boots with the dongle down, I can 'hciconfig' to bring it up and then it's recognized fine. But 'hcitool scan' doesn't find the keyboard. The lights come on both the dongle and the keyboard but They don't find each other. BUT! The only other bluetooth device I have here today is a phone and the phone and the dongle do see each other fine AND the phone and the keyboard also see each other fine. So why don't the dongle and the keyboard see each other? I'm a bluetooth dummy and I'm obviously missing something here. What? Thanks.

[opensuse] conflict between nut and apcupsd - really?
by Peter Suetterlin 02 Dec '17

02 Dec '17

Hi list, it seems nut and apcupsd refuse to be installed at the same time. The nut package lists a conflict with apcupsd, apcupsd itself seems not to care. This is strange, as I cannot find a real collision between the two packages? Digging into this 'conflict' I found a notice on the debian list that nut needs to conflict with apcupsd because both use /etc/init.d/ups-monitor. Now that is somewhat ridiculous in itself (rather rename init scripts or use alternatives I'd say), but for recent OS systems the file isn't there at all and all systemd stuff seems to use 'personalized' commands. So is - as I assume - this collision only a historical one that should be removed? I really want both installed, not for monitoring, but for maintainance of UPSes (we have many, of various brands, and nut does not support all commands on APC units...) Still googling around to find out how to override that conflict. Is there one, or do I have to unpack the rpm manually and install it without knowledge of the packet manager?

[opensuse] Display problems
by Larry Stotler 30 Nov '17

30 Nov '17

I'm running Leap 42.3 on a Dell Precision m6400 laptop. Core2 Quad Q9000, 8GB RAM, ATI Firepro m7740(RV740/M97 GL) The laptop has a DisplayPort on it and I have a dock that has the Displayport & a Dual-Link DVI connector. I have an HP ZR2740w that has a native resolution of 2560x1440 (or 1440p). This monitor doesn't have an onscreen display, but it has Display Port & Dual Link DVI connectors. This is a fresh install. When I connect with the DisplayPort cable, it is detected on the laptop & the dock but I get nothing on the screen. The system recognizes it(X & using xrandr) is there but no matter what resolution I try I get nothing. The light on the display shows it's asleep(solid orange). When I connect with a Dual Link DVI cable to the dock(which supports a max res of 2560x1600), it only allows 1440x900 or 1280x720, and will only work at 1280x720. When I try to use 1440x900 the light on the display just blinks blue. The Firepro card has 1GB RAM, so it's got plenty for the 27" LCD and the onboard 1440x900 LVDS. I also tried it with my Thinkpad T60p(firegl 5200 with 512MB) with the dock's DVI connector and it only works at 1440x900. I had Windows 7 on the Dell before and it only worked at 1440x900. The laptop would lock up when playing video(which seems to be a common problem under windows with this card). I'm using the stock ATI driver. I didn't see a proprietary driver to install. I'm at my wits end. Any suggestions? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Tar Read volume label only

Hi, Might be a simple one. I have a tape with no sticky label and I want to read the volume label which was set with --label="volumelabel" when the archive was written I could do tar -tvf /dev/st0 to get the table of contents which has the volume label at the top. e.g. V--------- 0/0 0 yyyy-mm-dd 00:00 volumelabel--Volume Header-- files list here But is there a way just to read ONLY the volume label with tar?

[opensuse] systemd - zgrep -m1 gives me "gzip: stdout: Broken pipe" ?
by Per Jessen 29 Nov '17

29 Nov '17

Okay, I need another pair of eyes - in a bash script, I have "zgrep -m1 SOA file.gz". The script is being run under systemd. The line with SOA is found, but I always get "gzip: stdout: Broken pipe". zgrep is obviously "gzip -dc | grep". I guess grep closes early when the first line is found, but why does this produce the error when running under systemd? If I remove the '-m1', no problem, no message. In the console, if I run the "zgrep -m1" manually or from within a script, no problem, no message. The script itself (suitably redacted) is nothing much: #!/bin/sh sec=47 addr=1.2.3.4 name=myscript version=1.1 echo "$name started, version $version, cwd=$PWD" trap "echo \"$name terminated\"" exit while true do a=$(date +%S) a=${a#0} w=$(((60+sec-a)%60)) sleep $w echo "running rsync ..." rsync -rvt -q -4 --address=$addr etc etc zgrep -m1 SOA newfile.gz make -r -C /srv/rbldnsd 2>&1 >>updatelog sleep 1 done -- Per Jessen, Zürich (3.9°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - virtual servers, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] BIOS updates
by Tom Kacvinsky 29 Nov '17

Lost the thread from yesterday about BIOS updates on Lenovo laptops.

I am going to try this on my Dell and report back, but I don't know how well it will work on Lenovos. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] network change, name resolving and nscd
by Peter Suetterlin 28 Nov '17

28 Nov '17

Hi list, I noticed a really weird behavior of my laptop, running TW: I regularly switch it between work and home network, I suspend the laptop, move to home/work, wand resume there in the new network. In both cases I use the wired eth0 interface, in both networks address and routers/nameservers are assigned via dhcp. Now, especially when I get to work after having run at home for a while, I experience a delay in name resolving. If I ping a machine, even in the same network as the laptop, it takes 2-3s before the pigs start. It is not a slow nameserver - a nslookup host immediately gives me the correct answer. Still just using the hostname for commands like ping (but also ssh) results in the mentioned delay. The culprit seems nscd, because if I restart it, name resolving is immediately OK again. I tried to figure out *what* nscd is doing in theis few seconds, but didn't get anywhere. While I can of course restart nscd manually each time, I wonder if this is a bug I should report, or if I'm doing something wrong (but what?)... Has someone seen similar hangs after a network change?

[opensuse] SOT: fetchmail and AOL's SSL mail
by Jeffrey L. Taylor 28 Nov '17

28 Nov '17

While I was on vacation, my wife's AOL account switched to mandatory SSL e-mail. It's taken me several hours of Googling and fiddling to find something that works. The non-obvious key was to specify SSL, not SSLPROTO. The first few lines of .fetchmailrc needs to look something like this: poll pop.aol.com with proto POP3 service pop3s user 'AOL_username' there with password 'AOL_PASSWORD' ssl is I'm posting here because it is the only place I have OT access to that Google and probably other search engines will index. SSLPROTO 'TLS1' does not work. Perhaps another SSL protocol would. I see no reason to override AOL's first choice.

[opensuse] Leap 42.3 suddenly doesnt assign ipv4 default route via dhcpv4 any more?
by cagsm 27 Nov '17

27 Nov '17

Hi there, today I was called to figure out what network trouble there was going on. Turns out that a 42.3 leap installation configured for dhcp v4, was getting its address but wasnt getting a default route at all. route -n shows only the local lan ipv6 route is there The only stuff I can think of right now is this recent yast network update. I have rebooted the leap machine several times and I even checked # wicked check dhcp4 eth0 or that command it fetches the dhcp information nicely and in there are the gateways and route shown, but the network stack from the actual wicked stack running doesnt assign or use this gateway info What happened? Is anyone else having trouble with dhcp4 on a simple lan? this is like very basic stuff, wondering if its again me messing stuff up, although I cant remember anything :( Thanks for helping. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] OT: Strange Idea Proof of Concept
by Paul Groves 27 Nov '17

27 Nov '17

Someone said to me the other day that it is possible to convert a linux install ISO, such as openSUSE, Fedora or Ubuntu and put it on floppy disks to install from directly with no CD. Of course it would be very impractical and also would use many floppies. But then perhaps it could be useful for some uses (although I could not imagine any). Now personally I have a few floppies with PLOP bootloader on them. I haven't used them for a while but occasionally I will come across a computer with a botched CD drive or the USB ports will not work in the BIOS so it is useful to boot to PLOP then choose the linux USB or CD. However, I was quite intrigued by this floppy idea and thought it would be a good proof of concept. What ways are there that one would could use to achieve this? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

Faster swap won't help in that situation. all faster swap does is compress time, and as I've seen, time is not a fix. I suspect that memory won't be a fix for whatever it is that is stretching the kernel to its capacity in this situation; all more memory does is push that limit out further, needing 1,000 tabs instead of just 450. -- 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] Weird automount behavior
by Scott Simpson 25 Nov '17

25 Nov '17

OpenSUSE Tumbleweed (latest code) I have some automounts I'm using with ypbind. Some of the automounts work on my local machine and some of them don't (the ones accessed during boot work but the automounts not accessed during boot don't work after the machine is up). Here are my automounts: ssimpson@madhatter:~$ ypcat -k auto.master /people auto.people /apps auto.apps ssimpson@madhatter:~$ ypcat -k auto.apps build 192.168.2.1:/home/mounts/& software 192.168.2.1:/& multimedia 192.168.2.1:/& win 192.168.2.1:/home/mounts/& local 192.168.2.1:/home/mounts/& ssimpson@madhatter:~$ On my local machine 192.168.2.1, /apps/local works (since it was accessed on boot) but /apps/multimedia doesn't! ssimpson@madhatter:~$ ls /apps/local bacula bin gorilla krb5kdc lib sbin share shellenv zm ssimpson@madhatter:~$ ls /apps/multimedia ls: cannot access '/apps/multimedia': No such file or directory ssimpson@madhatter:~$ If I go to another machine on my network, both work: ssimpson@mythtv:~$ ls /apps/local bacula bin gorilla krb5kdc lib sbin share shellenv zm ssimpson@mythtv:~$ ls /apps/multimedia Family.mpg ssimpson@mythtv:~$ This only broke recently (in the last few months).

I've been using Amarok for years to listen to music. However, lately there seems to be a problem with the progress bar that shows the position in the music.

At the moment, one song is playing, but the displays shows the previous song about 2/3 the way through. This is a very recent issue. Has anyone else noticed it?

[opensuse] alsa-mixer.c: Failed to set switch of Speaker: Input/output error
by listreader 20 Nov '17

20 Nov '17

Brand new Dell Precision Workstation T3620 Mini Tower. I installed Leap 423 with an XFCE desktop and was working fine. Until today. Multiple hiccups. Don't know whether they are related or not so I'll post them in separate threads. This is 2-of-2: I had pulseaudio installed. The speaker would switch off. Checking I found that pulseaudio had switched to "headphones (plugged in)" which they were not, and "speakers" showed as "not available". I used yast2 sound module to reset/reload the card. That works. Pulseaudio shows speakers as live. Short time later, speakers go off again. Looking in the journal I see... "[alsa-sink-ALC3861 Analog] alsa-mixer.c: Failed to set switch of Speaker: Input/output error" "[alsa-sink-ALC3861 Analog] alsa-mixer.c: Failed to set switch of Headphone: Input/output error" ...repeated multiple times in multiple places. I uninstalled pulseaudio. Problems appear to be gone - no further speaker and headphone switch problems either real or in journal. Sound is ok (but very low volumn). But I'd like to put pulseaudio back for use with the "Skype Preview" (i.e. beta) and etc. Any ideas what I should be looking at? Thanks!

It seems there is no end to the problems with tapes for me. :( I tried to do a weekly backup today and my DAT72 drive has decided to stop working (just to spite me I imagine). so I type in this command (as root) tar -cvf /dev/st0 /home and I get: tar: Removing leading `/' from member names /srv/backups/backup-www.sh tar: /dev/st0: Cannot write: Invalid argument tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now what does tar: /dev/st0: Cannot write: Invalid argument mean exactly? However the same command does work on my spare USB DAT72 drive and also on the LTO drive installed in the same server. but not for st0 which is a DAT72 drive. Now I have read that it is not compatible with the Ultra320 card I have installed, however it HAS been working fine since July on this card. I rolled back to a snapshot of the hard drive from August and it is not working there so perhaps it is a compatibility problem.

[opensuse] black screen after changing user with change user dialogue or with ttyn
by stakanov 19 Nov '17

19 Nov '17

The machine: Asus M5A97EVO R2.0 with AMD FX4300 and an Nvidia Gforce 7300 GS/PCIe OpenGL 2.1.2 Nvidia 304.137 Xserver resolution is 1440x900 DPI has not been changed. OS is Leap 42.3 (updated from 13.2 to 42.2 to 42.3). Os is running stable, no greater problems but one annoyance When you log out the session and log in another user no problem. When you log in to another session without logging out the user, the situation is: or you see a black screen with cursor when coming back to the original session. This independently if using ttyn or using the dialogue of "change user" in plasma. The second user session remains viable for a while when changing back with ttyn. When you switch back for two times, the second open user shows "deteriorating screen". That is black lines behind the icon names that are prodromic ot the user finally crashing after further switches. I have already put both user on xrender as Plasma 5 with this card crashes openGL and deactivates it when restarting the machine. So the openGL driver of nvidia "should" not be responsible. I tried Nouveau, but then the screen is already at boot up "black with cursor". So, the proprietary driver seems the only chance. I would be happy to receive tips and hints how to restore multi users setting in this machine. Of course if you know that this is a known limitation of 42.3 that e.g. will be fixed upstream, please let me know. I checked xsession errors and also journalctl -r but........ no pertinent voice of a crash seems to be there. Waiting for some suggestion or info.

[opensuse] Apache Start Up Problem
by Paul Groves 17 Nov '17

17 Nov '17

Hi All, I had a weird problem today. I noticed that after a reboot of my server, my owncloud instance on my desktop was complaining about an invalid certificate. I tried to 'open owncloud in browser' and was presented with my apache default page. So first thing I tried is restart the apache service. This fixed the problem. However, every time I reboot apache is not loading my configuration correctly and the problem repeats. It appears to be loading the default configuration file fine at boot but ignoring the other files. (including owncloud). But when I manually stop and start the service they load fine. Huh?? Any idea how I can diagnose what is causing this problem? What is the difference between the apache service loading at boot compared to manually starting the service?

A fast check shows that: sudo systemctl status acpid.service [sudo] password di root: ● apcupsd.service - APC UPS Power Control Daemon for Linux Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/apcupsd.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled) Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since mer 2017-11-15 08:57:44 CET; 55min ago Process: 12179 ExecStart=/usr/sbin/apcupsd -b -f /etc/apcupsd/apcupsd.conf (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) Process: 12175 ExecStartPre=/bin/rm -f /etc/apcupsd/powerfail (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Main PID: 12179 (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) nov 15 08:57:44 azzurro.fritz.box systemd[1]: Starting APC UPS Power Control Daemon for Linux... nov 15 08:57:44 azzurro.fritz.box systemd[1]: Started APC UPS Power Control Daemon for Linux. nov 15 08:57:44 azzurro.fritz.box apcupsd[12179]: apcupsd FATAL ERROR in apcconfig.c at line 671 nov 15 08:57:44 azzurro.fritz.box apcupsd[12179]: Terminating due to configuration file errors. nov 15 08:57:44 azzurro.fritz.box systemd[1]: apcupsd.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE nov 15 08:57:44 azzurro.fritz.box systemd[1]: apcupsd.service: Unit entered failed state. nov 15 08:57:44 azzurro.fritz.box systemd[1]: apcupsd.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.

[opensuse] sync nntp
by jdd＠dodin.org 16 Nov '17

16 Nov '17

Hello, Not that I expect a positive answer, but who knows? I can now sync, that is have up to date on several computers/tablets/phones... most of my files, mails, calendar, tasks, passwd with nextcloud, thunderbird (imap), davdroid, Firefox... what I can't have is sync of nntp/usenet forums. When I don't use a news reader for some days, and I open it, all the messages since the last time are marked unread, even if I read them on other machine. Do you know any way to get this between openSUSE and android devices? I'm not fond of online system (I know some) I use thunderbird on computers and piaohong newsgroup on android as news reader (but can change) thanks jdd -- http://dodin.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] root full but du not showing why - snapshots? Can't even free up
by Mikhail Ramendik 16 Nov '17

16 Nov '17

Hello, I trued to upgrade to 42.3 and the process failed because the root file system was full. df -h shows it full at 40 gigabytes. But... with du, I can only find the usage of 15 gigabytes. Moreover. I found 3 gigabytes in /root that could be deleted, and promptly deleted them. But df -h is not showing any more space! I am in the command line under root, no trash system anywhere. I suspect snapshots are the problem, because I accepted the default of btrfs for the root filesystem. So I could just delete some old snapshots. But how do I list the snapshots? And how do I remove them? Somehow when I google this I can't find anything. I mean, I did find btrfs subvolume list / and it lists quite a few lines like: ID 996 gen 288328 top level 258 path @/.snapshots/558/snapshot But I can't find a way to delete these snapshots. when I do btrfs subvolume delete @/.snapshots/558/snapshot I get "no such file or directory". So how can I delete snapshots? Even better. how do I find out which snapshots are made when and include what, so I can delete those I certainly don't need? I am tempted to reinstall with an ext4 root file system, but I do not want to spend all the time needed for a fresh install. -- Yours, Mikhail Ramendik Unless explicitly stated, all opinions in my mail are my own and do not reflect the views of any organization -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Boot failure after update from 42.2 to 42.3 "Grub-tpm-measure not found"
by stakanov 14 Nov '17

14 Nov '17

This is a very puzzling error as I did not install trusted grub and I do not have tpm on the system. The system is also not UEFI. The update was from 42.2 (working well) to 42.3 (screwed it up and I am now in rescue mode).

some users DO want to be bothered by snapshots, I include myself as one of them. It also includes many TW users for obvious reasons, from observation it even includes users of other distros who go to the trouble of installing it themselves. > He does not want to be told to do complex commands most issues that arise on forums require "complex commands", the cron job links are a separate bug (just solved on TW), the balance given the situation. > The problem that started this thread would simply not have occured in case ext4 would have been the basis of all. not buying this argument. for x number of other posts and situations - 'you wouldnt be stuck with a broken system if you had snapshots' 'average users' want to interact and invest in user space (the apps that give value), they want the plumbing to be hidden. If btrfs/snapshots do not add value then they are just exposed plumbing, if they add value they are worth investing in. Snapshots add value on TW, I dont know about leap. there is no universal/best backup method. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] plasma - non-KDE windows use KDE soft-whites (fcfcfc or eff0f1) unreadable - how to fix?
by David C. Rankin 14 Nov '17

14 Nov '17

All, I'm playing with plasma: KDE Frameworks 5.39.0 Qt 5.9.2 (built against 5.9.2) The xcb windowing system I have the breeze-dark theme, which is usable, with one major exception, all non-kde windows that are supposed to be white (e.g. virtualbox/Win7, etc.) are a dim blueish white. (0xfcfcfc or 0xeff0f1 -- verified by picking colors off the scrren with kde-colorchooser, that is what is set in kcontrol->Appearance->Colors) According to https://community.kde.org/File:Breeze_Color_Palette.png These are the Breeze Colors ("Paper White" and "Cardboard Grey"). However, they are being applied to non-kde apps making things that are supposed to have a white background -- not-white, totally messing up contrast in some of the non-kde apps. How do I tell plasma to leave the colors in non-kde apps alone? Looking at windows-explorer with a 0xfcfcfc background will drive you nuts with the soft-blue contrasting highlight windows uses. (it's like staring into a 'cool-blue' florescent light-bulb). I don't understand how the colors are getting applied, it's almost like there is some filter or overlay that is trying to make all colors in all apps match the breeze "View Text" and "Window Text" color theme settings. Any help would be appreciated. (another bewildering quandary is font-size. 8-pt mono is tiny on plasma and 9-pt mono looks like 11-pt -- there is literally no in between...) -- David C.

[opensuse] need file from former md RAID1 member
by Felix Miata 14 Nov '17

14 Nov '17

My Google Fu isn't working very well. I need to mount the following ro long enough to find and fetch one file from what's showing up as /dev/md127. Base on a /unix.stackexchange.com page Google found[1] I tried mdadm -A /dev/sdg12 but get message device /dev/sdb12 exists but is not an md array. Of course, because it is only one of two original parts. I tried this from a different PC and get the same message. Also from that page I tried mdadm --assemble --scan which only got a usage message on the first machine, and got No arrays found in config file or automatically. On the second Next tried on first. mount -t ext4 -o ro,noatime /dev/sdg12 /mnt but get the message /dev/sdg12 is already mounted or /mnt busy df shows no use of either /mnt or sdg12, and there is no sdg<anything> showing as in use in /proc/mdstat. What do I need to do? The machine this disk came from is the one of two I'm currently trying to use for the recovery, but isn't necessary to the recovery, simply what was handy and known to have working RAID modules available.

[opensuse] the gost of a removed hard-disk gives me a problem
by C. Brouerius van Nidek 11 Nov '17

11 Nov '17

One of my hard-disk stopped functioning properly so I removed it from my main computer. The HDD had two partitions, the first a 2 GB swap and the second partition an ext 4 159 GB single work-space. After removal of the disk I found that the reboot took me much longer. Looking at the cause I found that the machine is still looking for the local swap. I have given all my swap spaces a volume label, in this case label swapc. >From where is the boot-loader getting its information so that I can remove this old and unjust information. -- opensuse:tumbleweed:20171108 Qt: 5.9.2 KDE Frameworks: 5.39.0 kf5-config: 1.0 KDE Plasma: 5.11.2 plasmashell 5.11.2 Kernel: 4.13.11-1-default Linux User 183145 working on a Pentium IV . -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Heads up, vbox 5.1.2X to 5.2 update will leave headless win guests unable to capture mouse/kbd
by David C. Rankin 10 Nov '17

10 Nov '17

This is a side-note for anyone that virtualizes windows guests on a linux host and provides the headless guests for remote access. For all previous 5.1 host updates, the headless guests would make use of the existing guest additions to allow normal login and update of guest additions within the guest itself. Apparently there is an incompatibility between 5.1.X guest additions and the new 5.2 guest additions that prevent guests from recognizing existing 5.1.x guest additions after the host is updated to 5.2. (meaning you have to start the windows guest normally on the host (or use VBoxManage on the host) to install the new 5.2 guest additions. This has the side effect of making win guests unavailable for remote access until 5.2 guest additions are installed. If accessed remotely before the guest addition update, the login screen will be visible, but there is no way to interact with it as neither keyboard or mouse can be captured (with or without use of the local host-key -- usually right-ctrl) I don't suspect too many people will fall into this issue unless you virtualize guests on a server and provide access via network (remote) access via rdesktop or the like. (but if you do, know you remote clients will have no way to login until you update their guest additions) The kicker is it requires host access to fix, where before remote clients could update their own guest additions following vbox version update on the host. Reported upstream ticket/17259 (also, there are a few other issues for headless guests like setvideomodehint color depth settings being lost, etc.. and there seems to be a bit of degraded video performance for headless guests) Hopefully these bumps will get ironed out before 5.2.1 comes out (or 5.2.2) -- David C.

[opensuse] Please Recommend - OpenSource KVM/XEN virtualisation / Cluster Management
by andreil1 09 Nov '17

09 Nov '17

Hi ! I would be glad if someone with successful experience would recommend me open source KVM/XEN virtualisation and cluster management software, which offers GUI, backup, live migration, and possibly high-availability features. Systems will run under KVM, or may be XEN full virtualisation. Right now I’m trying to install and configure Ganeti + Django-based GUI, but it appears quite difficult and time consuming, and I’m close to the point to give up, and switch to something else. I’m need to run several SuSE & Ubuntu guests, host version of Linux doesn’t matter, it could be SuSE, Debian, whatever else. Thanks in advance for any suggestion(s).

[opensuse] KDE and directories
by Roger Oberholtzer 08 Nov '17

08 Nov '17

I think I know the answer to this (and Google was no help), but I thought I would ask in case I messed something very obvious: Is it possible to have KDE run a program when you enter a directory? Say in Dolphin. We want to sense if the current directory contains a file with a specific name. If so, do something. The point is that it should be automatic. And it must be done for all directories. There is no name rule or pattern that can be used. We already register numerous file associations. So I explored https://specifications.freedesktop.org/shared-mime-info-spec/shared-mime-in…. There is something about Non-regular files and inode/directory. But I just don't see how to use this to trigger running a program. Has anyone implemented this in such a general way? -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] btrfs rollback gives dead display manager
by listreader 08 Nov '17

08 Nov '17

After a possibly ill-advised sideload upgrade/fix of a perl app, I tried to do a btrfs rollback but I end up with a dead display manager. Going back to the current/last snapshot and display manager works fine. I see nothing in intervening snapshots (or in yast2) that relates to any display manager changes nor anything else in there that would seem to have anything to do with display manager. This is a new (few days) fresh install of Leap 423 with xfce that previously to this event had all updates installed. Display manager is lightdm. Any ideas? Thanks.

[opensuse] Unstable wifi on 42.2
by Mikhail Ramendik 08 Nov '17

08 Nov '17

Hello, I have Leap 42.2. After some update relatively recently (or possibly after a change of VDSL provider and therefore of access point/router) wifi became unstable. It is an old-ish 2.4 GHz card that uses the rt2800pci driver. It is working, but after some time, pings to the access point/router become very slow (up to 3 seconds!) and packet loss appears. Network connectivity is noticeably flaky (slow loads, extrtemely laggy games, etc). The output of the dmesg command contains the following kind of messages periodically: [ 8488.700135] cfg80211: World regulatory domain updated: [ 8488.700139] cfg80211: DFS Master region: unset [ 8488.700140] cfg80211: (start_freq - end_freq @ bandwidth), (max_antenna_gain, max_eirp), (dfs_cac_time) [ 8488.700141] cfg80211: (2402000 KHz - 2472000 KHz @ 40000 KHz), (N/A, 2000 mBm), (N/A) [ 8488.700142] cfg80211: (2457000 KHz - 2482000 KHz @ 20000 KHz, 92000 KHz AUTO), (N/A, 2000 mBm), (N/A) [ 8488.700143] cfg80211: (2474000 KHz - 2494000 KHz @ 20000 KHz), (N/A, 2000 mBm), (N/A) [ 8488.700144] cfg80211: (5170000 KHz - 5250000 KHz @ 80000 KHz, 160000 KHz AUTO), (N/A, 2000 mBm), (N/A) [ 8488.700145] cfg80211: (5250000 KHz - 5330000 KHz @ 80000 KHz, 160000 KHz AUTO), (N/A, 2000 mBm), (0 s) [ 8488.700146] cfg80211: (5490000 KHz - 5730000 KHz @ 160000 KHz), (N/A, 2000 mBm), (0 s) [ 8488.700147] cfg80211: (5735000 KHz - 5835000 KHz @ 80000 KHz), (N/A, 2000 mBm), (N/A) [ 8488.700147] cfg80211: (57240000 KHz - 63720000 KHz @ 2160000 KHz), (N/A, 0 mBm), (N/A) [ 8489.835461] wlan0: authenticate with 70:50:af:cc:3b:02 [ 8489.851029] wlan0: send auth to 70:50:af:cc:3b:02 (try 1/3) [ 8489.853331] wlan0: authenticated [ 8489.854916] wlan0: associate with 70:50:af:cc:3b:02 (try 1/3) [ 8489.858363] wlan0: RX AssocResp from 70:50:af:cc:3b:02 (capab=0x1411 status=0 aid=2) [ 8489.858433] wlan0: associated [ 8490.006569] SFW2-INext-DROP-DEFLT IN=wlan0 OUT= MAC=00:0e:2e:e5:df:23:70:50:af:cc:3b:01:08:00 SRC=192.168.1.254 DST=192.168.1.10 LEN=308 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x0 0 TTL=64 ID=0 PROTO=UDP SPT=67 DPT=68 LEN=288 What can I do to fix or diagnose this? -- Yours, Mikhail Ramendik Unless explicitly stated, all opinions in my mail are my own and do not reflect the views of any organization -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] another WD Green AV-GP HD failure
by Felix Miata 07 Nov '17

07 Nov '17

Last I reported one of these was for a 2TB model in August 2017. This one is a 320GB model WD3200AVVS shipped in a DVDR manufactured in 2011, the exact same model I had fail in a sister DVDR 3 years ago. The HD check function of the DVDR reported HD hours in use >20000. The HD was manufactured a month before the DVR, so both are more than 5 years old. When DVDR is powered up and not intentionally recording, it constantly buffers up to the last 6 hours of the currently tuned channel or input source for replay or permanent saving. These DVRDs use the HD in a proprietary manner, so backup and restore like we do with PC files is not possible. It can write to/from DVD, but only in real time, which makes backup and restore impractical other than by removing the disk from the DVDR and imaging it, useless for anything saved since making the last image. The DVDR froze trying to play a recording, so I shut it down, pulled the HD out, and made an image of it thus: ddrescue -d /dev/sdc dvdrfile.img dvdrfile.logfile Rescued size while running was 10MB less than total size. Average rate was 49894kB/s. Errsize: 67072B. Errors: 81. Rescued: 320072MB. ipos/opos 314588MB. Runtime: 106min. The man page, like most man pages, is minimalist WRT examples. <https://www.linux.com/learn/intro-to-linux/2017/3/gnu-ddrescue-best-damaged…> like <https://www.gnu.org/software/ddrescue/manual/ddrescue_manual.html> suggests 3 retries. I tried again adding -r5, but errsize only improved by 3 X 512. Should I try again using -r12 or more, or with other options? Or with dc3dd, or something else? Should I try again after dropping its temperature in the refrigerator or freezer? Is more improvement pointless to hope for?

[opensuse] openSUSE merits a better home page
by Roger Price 06 Nov '17

06 Nov '17

openSUSE merits a better home page than the current one [https://www.opensuse.org/] A recent article in Linux.com [4] explains << Initially openSUSE’s mission statement was to “encourage use of Linux & Open Source everywhere.” But, that’s no longer the heart and soul of openSUSE. OpenSUSE has evolved beyond just a Linux distribution project. They now cater to a totally different audience -- developers and sysadmins. So, openSUSE board members drafted a new mission statement: “Openly engineered tools to change your world.” ... >> << “... What we do essentially is engineering - we help in building packages, we help in testing and we help in delivering them. We care about the process.” said Brown. “At the same time everything that we do is a tool, OpenQA is a testing tool, OBS is a packaging tool, YaST is system management tool, even our distributions Leap and Tumbleweed are tools.” >> Now that openSUSE recognizes that it's main audience is a world of developers and sysadmins, the home page should show this with a style suitable for developers and sysadmins. The home page should be precise and unashamedly technical with just sufficient graphics; no twirling logos, no large pastel coloured rectangles. The home page should also be a tool, providing a crisp statement from the Chairman of the Board on why openSUSE+Yast is the best distribution of them all, and clear links to all the other tools from the top of the page. See Debian [1], DNS24 [2] and openBSD [3] for succinct examples of what can be done.

[opensuse] tumbleweed and vim question
by Lew Wolfgang 06 Nov '17

06 Nov '17

Hi Folks, Okay, I'm ignorant, and my friend Google hasn't been of any help. I installed the latest tumbleweed this afternoon and was dismayed to see that the default vim behavior has changed. First, searching for a string by hitting "/" and entering the string was funky. Then cutting and pasting into an open vim screen in the "insert" mode using the left and right mouse buttons did surprising things. Pasting from the clipboard using the "edit/paste" drop down menu worked, but that's very cumbersome and is contrary to how I've been doing this for 35-years. Rather than giving up and learning how to use Windows 10, is there a way to configure tumbleweed's vim to emulate the old vi syntax?

[opensuse] fdisk can't find USB stick that dmesg finds, and Win10 mounts
by Felix Miata 03 Nov '17

03 Nov '17

I have 3 identical Adata UV128 16GB USB 3.0 sticks purchased on one invoice 370 days ago: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820211760 All worked when new, but only one remains accessible via Linux (TW, 42.3, 42.2, 13.1; on more than one machine) any more. Kernel reports attachment in dmesg, but errors except on the one I reformatted NTFS (to avoid the FAT file size limitation, probably using W10, but I don't remember). I attached dmesg tail so as to avoid line wrap. The last attachment notice is from the NTFS one that works. One of the other two sticks is (FAT32, empty) accessible via Win10. The other makes the device inserted message jump on and off the screen over and over. How does one go about troubleshooting what's happened, since I can't even tell if a partition table exists on two of the three? Win10 diskpart syntax is inexplicable, demanding a disk be selected first, then ignoring that selection has been made. The one that is completely inaccessible has many family photos I put there using 42.1. :-( -- "Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom. Whatever else you get, get wisdom."

[opensuse] systemd, gpsd, and sockets
by Roger Oberholtzer 02 Nov '17

02 Nov '17

We are using the gpsd package as provided by openSUSE Leap 42.3. The package comes with whatever is needed to make it work (or not work...) with systemd. We use serial port GPS receivers, so the udev stuff to start gpsd does not apply. We have gpsd enabled via a call to systemctrl enable gpsd Unfortunatly, gpsd fails to start when this is done. It complains that the sockets it will use are busy. Which is odd because only gpsd should start them. The RPM comes with this file: /usr/lib/systemd/system/gpsd.socket Which contains this: [Unit] Description=GPS (Global Positioning System) Daemon Sockets [Socket] ListenStream=/var/run/gpsd.sock ListenStream=[::1]:2947 ListenStream=127.0.0.1:2947 SocketMode=0600 [Install] WantedBy=sockets.target It is the 2947 ports that it complains about. If we comment these two lines, all is fine. So, what do these lines really mean? Is it that systemd will listen on them, and when there is activity start gpsd? If so, that seems wrong as that is not how gpsd works. It is running because of the systemctrl command. As it should. It must do things like provide system time information long before some client might attach on these ports. Or is there something else that is wrong in the setup? -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Synchronization of notes
by Vojtěch Zeisek 02 Nov '17

02 Nov '17

Hi, I'm looking for a way how to synchronize notes. So far I have been using KDE Basket. It is very nice application, but it has no support for syncing. My requirements are: 1) Running in sys tray of openSUSE with KDE (not necessarily KDE application). 2) Synchronization over custom server (I have SFTP, ownCloud, ...). So no solution provided by private company. 3) App available for Sailfish OS and Android (well, Sailfish can run Android apps, but native Sailfish app is better). 4) Web interface is not required, but nice. 5) Fully FOSS solution. 6) Having multiple notes, group them, and so. Rich text is not required. ownCloud offers in its app store several note apps. Does anyone have recommendations which to use? I'm bit confused by high number of them... QOwnNotes http://www.qownnotes.org/ also looks promising, but I'd like to hear some experience before trying to deploy it (or something similar).

[opensuse] leap42.3 as xen host - wants to install gtk3 ?

I don't recall hearing about LTFS I've never used, but I know a world class tape expert. He is using it for data archiving, but not daily backups. If you have 10 thousand plus tapes you want to retire from your enterprise, watch this video: http://www.sullivanstrickler.com/invenire.html One thing he does is migrate the data from legacy tapes to new generation LTO.

[I used to use rdiff-backup years ago. Replaced it with spideroak.] That seems to be the point of LTFS. It allows solutions like rdiff-backup to write to tape without modification. It presents a filesystem interface to rdiff-backup and translates that into tape commands on the backend. LTFS seems to work best with large files. rdiff-backup makes no effort to consolidate small files, but if your files being backed up, it should perform well. Next question: With a large dataset will a single LTFS filesystem span a tapeset?

[opensuse] Your laptop battery is definitely broken
by Richmond 31 Oct '17

31 Oct '17

I have two installations of 42.3 on two different computers. Each tells me that the battery is probably broken, which is true enough. But the first requires me to press OK for the message to go away, whereas the second is a yellow notice which vanishes after a few seconds. What might cause the difference? I would rather not see the message as I am not about to do anything about the batteries, other than remove them altogether. But the yellow notice is better than the OK prompt. It is the Mate desktop in both cases, and I think the notice is coming from the Power Manage applet. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Large Data Backups?
by Lew Wolfgang 31 Oct '17

31 Oct '17

Hi Folks, BLUF: How to backup large data stores? Say I've got 300-TB of on-line data, most if it is fairly static, while some of it changes frequently on a daily basis. I do daily incremental backups on the dynamic areas to disk filesystems on separate computers, with a monthly full disk image being stored off-line at an off-site location. But I'm worried about the bulk of the data that isn't being backed up. Most of the data consists of lots of binary files stored on multiple hardware RAID-6 arrays. The arrays have hot-spare disks, and I've got spares on the shelf. But as the graybeards know, reliable RAID isn't backup! One technology being considered is LTO tape. LTO-8 is due out any day now that claims to store 12-TB native. A drive or two with a tape library would possibly fill the requirement. Does anyone have any thoughts/advice? What do clouds like Google and AWS do for backups? Thanks, Lew -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] ssh / scp

I'm not too well versed on ssh. I already remotely access another PC for which I generated the key and uploaded it to the other machine. This is under my user account. I have my own account on each machine with the same username and user ID, but the other machine belongs to somebody else so has additional user accounts. What I want to know, hence, is this: If I want to copy files between machines using SCP, does that automatically use the same SSH key or is SCP a separate thing? and What about when I log in as another user on the remote machine - is this still secure or do I need to create a separate key for each user?

[opensuse] KOBO and Leap - how to connect via wlan
by stakanov 28 Oct '17

28 Oct '17

Is there anybody that can point me to a howto or a blog describing this? Or has anybody does this with leap? I will have to set this up in a few days with a leap 42.3 based system that I will set up. What ports do I have to open? Any special things to do? On Leap the KOBO would be managed by Calibre. The system has a double NIC, the onboard one eth for internet and a pci-e wlan card to connect to hardware like KOBO. So I guess I will have to do some settings, but I do not know if it is better to set the cards up with wicked or nm. Any suggestions? Thank you. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Since when did opensuse start closing bugs "Upstream" and just hoping the reporter follows through??
by David C. Rankin 28 Oct '17

28 Oct '17

All, I filed a bug yesterday on the libreoffice file chooser not remembering its last used size. (annoying, but not a showstopper). The bug was CLOSED UPSTREAM? LibreOffice file chooser dialog does not remember last used size https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1065398 That is bad practice. The bug should remain OPEN UPSTREAM and the maintainers should coordinate with upstream as has always been the policy in the past. Simply closing the bug and "hoping", "wishing", or "assuming" the reporter actually follows through and reports upstream is how issues fall through the cracks. I don't know when this policy changed, but it needs to be re-thought. I have noticed a recent rash of closures (some for confirmed bugs that had not been addressed since 2010). I have also had recent bugs reported that were upstream issues where the maintainers followed the time-honored tradition here and coordinated with upstream until a resolution was secured. So when did the policy change? What is it now? If the bug affects upstream is it just going to be CLOSED UPSTREAM and the reporter (who may be filing his first bug), left on his own? -- David C.

[opensuse] Libreofficewriter problems printing embedded inage.
by Anton Aylward 27 Oct '17

27 Oct '17

This may be a printer problem, but then again not. I took a screensnhot to png, but later converted to jpg with no better result. I tried embedding said image in a document. I've also tried converting the image to greyscale only. When I print, the image doesn't come out. I believe the printer and driver can print images for a number of reasons. I can print a page from a PDF document that has images on it. I admit the graphical parts don't come out as well as the text part of the image. I've also printed web pages such as recipes/yummily that have images and they come out. This is a brother HL-517DN and I seem to have a PDF style driver installed. That seems the new norm. However I've gone through all the possible settings that make sense (aka not the '2-up' or rotations) without much joy. I'm not sure this is a good thing, to be honest but that seems to be the new norm. Please, experience should trump theory. I know the theory. Telling me that over again isn't going to help. -- 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] moving /home
by jdd＠dodin.org 27 Oct '17

27 Oct '17

Hello, My present install uses 3 partitions, / (30Gb, btrfs), /home (30 Gb, xfs)and /data, the last for large file storing (around 400Gb, xfs). no lvm. I want to install an other distro (ubuntu) to test some special config only documented on ubuntu AFAIK it's not possible to reduce the size of an xfs filesystem :-( So Here what I did: * copy (rsync, as root) my /home to /data/home-active folder * coment out the /home line in fstab * adding in fstab /data/home-actif /home none bind" it seems to work, but before trashing the original /home partition I would like to know if all is ok, specially in the fstab line thanks jdd -- http://dodin.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] systemd stops postfix/nfsserver for false(?) reasons
by Peter Suetterlin 25 Oct '17

25 Oct '17

Hi, I'm running a server on Leap 42.2. Amongst other things, it is mail and NFS server for the home directories. After a reboot today neither postfix nor the nfs server were running. A look at the boot log: Oct 23 07:44:43 royac6 systemd[1]: Stopped Postfix Mail Transport Agent. Oct 23 07:44:43 royac6 systemd[1]: Created slice system-mdadm\x2dlast\x2dresort.slice. Oct 23 07:44:43 royac6 systemd[1]: Starting Activate md array even though degraded... Oct 23 07:44:43 royac6 systemd[1]: Stopped NFS server and services. Oct 23 07:44:43 royac6 systemd[1]: Stopping NFSv4 ID-name mapping service... Oct 23 07:44:43 royac6 systemd[1]: Stopped NFS Mount Daemon. Oct 23 07:44:43 royac6 systemd[1]: Stopped NFSv4 ID-name mapping service. Oct 23 07:44:43 royac6 systemd[1]: Started Activate md array even though degraded.

Oct 23 07:44:43 royac6 systemd[1]: Unmounted /home. So obviously it is because a 'problem' with the home directories (/home is served by nfs-server, and postfix uses Maildir in the home directories). But /home is mounted... So I looked at that: Oct 23 07:44:09 royac6 kernel: sdb: sdb1 Oct 23 07:44:09 royac6 kernel: sda: sda1 Oct 23 07:44:12 royac6 kernel: md: bind<sda1> Oct 23 07:44:13 royac6 kernel: md: bind<sdb1> Oct 23 07:44:13 royac6 kernel: md/raid1:md1: active with 2 out of 2 mirrors Oct 23 07:44:13 royac6 kernel: created bitmap (8 pages) for device md1 Oct 23 07:44:13 royac6 kernel: md1: bitmap initialized from disk: read 1 pages, set 11 of 15260 bits Oct 23 07:44:13 royac6 kernel: md1: detected capacity change from 0 to 1024061145088 Oct 23 07:44:13 royac6 systemd[1]: Found device /dev/disk/by-uuid/133b616a-1100-4278-86a7-9eb677783e9b.

Sidenote: It is stopping the nfs and mail services before they even are started...

[opensuse] 42.3 ignoring router priority
by James Knott 24 Oct '17

24 Oct '17

With IPv6, there can be multiple default routers on a network and there is a priority setting so that one is favoured over another. However, it appears 42.3 is ignoring that prioriy. Here's the output of ip -6 route, which shows both as medium priority. default via fe80::1:1 dev eth0 proto ra metric 1024 expires 57sec hoplimit 64 pref medium default via fe80::216:17ff:fea7:f2d3 dev vlan3 proto ra metric 1024 expires 48sec hoplimit 64 pref medium However, the router on eth0 is set for high priority and on VLAN 3, low. This has been verified with Wireshark captures. So, why is openSuse ignoring that priority? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

For instance, I replaced the hard disk on my laptop, and now sometimes (few) the laptop doesn't boot, doesn't see the disk at all. Or there may be a problem initializing your network hardware, and knopix knows how to do it, and the current package you have doesn't. So if you reboot from one to the other without powering off, it keeps. Might also happen with Windows. It is important to investigate your repo list and package mix. Please attach your repo list to a message, and maybe upload the package list with the command I posted to susepaste.org (for a limited time), then post the link here. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.

[opensuse] Using Volume Groups and the Boot Partition
by Richmond 21 Oct '17

21 Oct '17

In the documentation I see this: Warning: File System for Booting The file system used for booting (the root file system or |/boot|) must not be stored on an LVM logical volume. Instead, store it on a normal physical partition. https://doc.opensuse.org/documentation/leap/reference/html/book.opensuse.re… However, I have installed Leap 42.3 and I accepted a recommended partition layout (although I did change it and go back and forth a few times) and it put the /boot partition on the system-root logical volume. I have a grub2 rescue disc and I found I was still able to use it provided I 'insmod lvm' first. So is this documentation out of date? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] where is the user's PATH variable set
by eddie 21 Oct '17

21 Oct '17

Some how my path is missing /home/user/bin. I know this is the default so one of my files must be messed up. Can someone tell me where the user's path variable is set please. I've checked /etc/profile .profile and .bashrc and they all seem standard and are untouched. I have some scripts in my bin folder that I would like to run and I can only do so by accessing them directly. How can I reset my path variable. It currently is: /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/games but the default should be /home/me/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/games Thanks -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Empty dialog boxes in some applications
by Mark Hounschell 20 Oct '17

20 Oct '17

I am running the eclipse IDE recently downloaded and when I hover my mouse over an icon, instead of getting text in a box describing what the icon is for, I get an empty box. I reported this over on the eclipse user forum and they wanted a recording of what I was doing so they could see. Si I installed xvidcap from packman to get a recording and I noticed that the xvidcap program did the same thing. Emtpy dialog boxes when I hover over an icon. So I now suspect this may be a SuSE problem. I've only done this on leap 42.3. Anyone else ever see this and know a possible solution?

Most sessions nowadays are spread-spectrum. I'm not sure how it works, but if you disrupt the connection open sequence, ie get the client transmitting on one frequency, and the router receiving on another, you can MITM the conversation. You then simply don't forward packet #3, forcing the client or router (can't remember which) to retry. This then causes the connection to reset with a nonce of 0, and a key of 0. Bingo - connection encryption now cracked, and the supposedly secure connection is wide open. That's the way these things always go - someone cocks up and the resulting crack is pretty simple. Changing topic slightly - you're aware somebody's found a bug in an RSA implementation such that any 4096-bit keys from this generator can be brute-forced? Not sure how long it takes but it's well within the ability of a determined attacker! As always, an implementation cockup gives a back-door into the encryption.

Well, instead I went back to google maps and printed that, using BRScript (brothers PS) settings all the way down the line. That came out a a faint greyscale. This is not a colour printer. That result is disjointing. I would not use it as a graphic in a proposal.

Then I created a layer that was just text, markers to items on the map that googlemaps didn't state. I then embedded it in the document a printed. The text layer came out OK, the image layer didn't. As I say, weird. This is why I think there is something hinky in the PDF aspect of the print subsystem. I wish I could better see what the processing stream was, what transformations get done.

[opensuse] root in extended partition (42.3)
by listreader 16 Oct '17

16 Oct '17

Leap 423 upgraded from 422. Old drive has been in use probably since 10x. Bios. Generic code is in the MBR. I have 423 / in an extended partition. Grub2 is in 423 /. All was good. I used Yast2-bootloader module to change an option (boot loader password, if it matters). I then exited normally (OK) and yast rewrote/reinstalled the bootloader. Next boot failed at a blinking cursor. I booted with Parted Magic and found that Yast had set the extended partition itself as the boot partition, rather than / which was 2 or 3 partitions deep into the extended. I fixed that and rebooted normally. I went into Yast2-bootloader and Boot Loader Location was still correctly set there as Boot from Root Partition, even though that is not what it apparently wrote to the bootloader. So, my question is, is this expected behaviour? I don't remember this happening in previous releases. Thanks.

[opensuse] ICMP Path MTU message

I just used ifconfig to display interface addresses and got the following: eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr F0:DE:F1:8C:DC:99 inet addr:172.16.4.100 Bcast:172.16.4.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fd48:1a37:2160:4:f2de:f1ff:fe8c:dc99/128 Scope:Global inet6 addr: fe80::f2de:f1ff:fe8c:dc99/64 Scope:Link The first IPv6 address is a type known as a Unique Local Address (ULA), which is used in a manner similar to IPv4 RFC 1918 addresses. However, despite this, ifconfig shows it's scope as global. A global address is a public address reachable from the Internet. ULA addresses are not. Shouldn't ifconfig show the proper scope? The same applies to the ip command. However, the link local and global addresses show the correct scope. ULA addresses are in the range of fc::/7. This is with OpenSUSE 42.3. tnx jk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Tab window section in XFCE4 terminal too large
by Carlos E. R. 13 Oct '17

13 Oct '17

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I updated XFCE to the one in X11:XFCE repo, version 4.12.1, I think. I wanted the new Pulse Audio Panel Plugin. Everything is nice, except that the TAB area in the Terminal is too large, compared to the menu area, and I don't see if this can be adjusted or is coded. I tried many settings, didn't see any change. See attached photo, if it passes through, to see my meaning. - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.

[opensuse] Install unsigned packages with Zypper
by Bjoern Voigt 12 Oct '17

12 Oct '17

I usually use Zypper also to install foreign RPM packages, among other things it resolves dependencies. Unfortunately since some weeks, I have to confirm each unsigned package with "i" (ignore). The useful switches --gpgcheck-allow-unsigned (Short hand for --gpgcheck-allow-unsigned-repo --gpgcheck-allow-unsigned-package) are only available for the actions addrepo|ar and modifyrepo|mr. Is there a work-around or should I file a feature request? # zypper in $(find LibreOffice_5.4.2.2_Linux_x86-64_rpm* -name '*.rpm') [...] 55 packages to reinstall. Overall download size: 293.6 MiB.

[opensuse] bluetooth mouse
by jdd＠dodin.org 12 Oct '17

12 Oct '17

-> what may I do to recover my mouse? I'm not sure what was the real solution, because I tried too many things, but now it - almost - works If I get it correctly, for the device to be detected, it needs to come after the wifi is, or something similar. so after the start, if BT don't works, systemctl restart bluetooth.service rfkill unblock bluetooth should make the bluetooth to be actionable in the widget that said, at some time in the configuration, I was asked for the root passwd to continue and since then at boot I have to give root passwd in a notification windows to get bluetooth. This is a bit odd, so is there a way to avoid this? I wonder if blacklisting the bluetooth could make the system work, but I fear to try because I don't want to fix a working system :-( thanks jdd -- http://dodin.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] audacious - disabling window grabbing on menu bar click
by Istvan Gabor 11 Oct '17

11 Oct '17

Hello: This occours in openSUSE 13.2 with KDE3. I use audacious mucic player with gtk interface. When I click to the menu bar the mouse pointer becomes an arrow-cross and the mouse grabs the audacious window. How could I disable this? Other windows are only grabbed if I click the title bar and keep the mouse button ppressed.

All, When it rains it pours. I have an interesting issue with an old laptop (still running 13.1), that in the past has runs for weeks/months on end, now suddenly beginning to freeze ever day or two.

Usual suspects would be memory (test fine) and hard disk (swap corruption?). But I have no indication of any disk issues. So I guess my plea for help is basically a "What else to check?" question. How do you troubleshoot a problem that doesn't appear in the logs. (it's a laptop, so I can't just pull the case cover and check for puffy caps -- which may be a consideration). Ideas? I am no expert in kernel Call Traces. I can read them, I understand what the stack pointer address are saying, I'm just not 100% sure what it is telling me.

Well CUPS has its own ACL I did try installing CUPS for Android on my devices but either I couldn't get it configured or it was broken, so tablet -> cups server -> printer is a a No-Go. However the tablet and the phone, when on the same network (as opposed off on yet another NAT) can print to an IP address. For some reason a return address that being behind a another NAT won't permit kills that. I have a vague idea why, perhaps James can say it more definitively. But I don't want outsiders, even if they somehow get past the firewall or penetrate my wifi password, from accessing devices like the router or the printer. So they have IP based ACL. So 'known' devices have static IPs to make like more manageable. OK, so its not earth-moving insurmountable security, but it is enough to discourage a lot of the 'casual' and 'drive-past'. -- 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] PHP Login
by Paul Groves 10 Oct '17

10 Oct '17

Hi, Currently we have a php site with an SQL table of users. Users can login and reset their own password, admins can reset other users passwords. However we would like to link to the built in system users on the local machine. So basically I would like a login form in PHP that uses the system users instead of an sql table. also how can an authenticated user change their own password via the web page? Is this possible? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] No network of leap 42.3
by Dave Smith 10 Oct '17

10 Oct '17

I recently installed 42.3 on a second computer. This computer has 2 disks. One disk for Leap 42.3 and the other for Windows 10. The install went very smooth (as usual) and I use grub to boot into my disks. I was able to update 42.3 and noticed no issues. Today I went to use the machine and discovered I have no internet. Ifconfig shows I have no address assigned via dhcp. To eliminate a hardware issue I booted into Windows. Windows had internet connectivity. The motherboard is an ASRock H97 Pro4 which uses the Intel gigabyte ethernet chip, the same one used by the machine I am typing from now (leap 42.2). I then switched to a static ip to see if it is a dhcp issue. I used YAST to configure the static ip. Using wicked I was able to start and stop the network successfully. Ifconfig showed my static ip address assigned to eth0. Still no internet. lsmod shows e1000e is loaded. My system consists of a NETGEAR ProSafe™ Gigabit 8 Port VPN Firewall FVS318G router attached to a cable modem. All devices are plugged into the router which assigns ip addresses via dhcp during boot. I have the two computers, a ps3, and a cisco wifi plugged into the router. All are visible to the router and have internet access. On the machine in question when I boot into windows the router shows the computer and assigned ip address(dhcp). When I boot into 42.3 nothing shows up on the router, dhcp or static ip. Any ideas what could be going on? Is there a known problem with the e1000e module? Any ideas will be appreciated.

[opensuse] Getting Started With Linux Magazine
by ddemaio 10 Oct '17

10 Oct '17

Hi all, Members of the openSUSE community have been working with Linux-Magzine.com to publish a special edition of a Getting Started With Linux magazine (cover attached). I am thrilled to inform you that this 100-page magazine featuring openSUSE Leap 42.3 will be available on newsstands throughout the globe over the coming months. The distribution of the magazines are expected to bring more openSUSE users to our community. You might see more asking questions about using openSUSE in the coming months even though the magazine does a great job of explaining the basics. The project has received 3,000 of these magazines to be used for various purposes like distributing at conferences. In addition to distributing some at conferences, we would like to also send a package to people who could distribute them to their local university, college, computer science class or Linux user group. There are 30 magazines in a pack and I can send you a package if you are willing to distribute it to one of the above mentioned target groups. If you are willing to do this, please reply with your full name, mailing address and phone number so I send you a package. I would like to thank the people in our community who helped to make the Getting Started With Linux magazine possible, and thank you to the community members who are helping to bring openSUSE to users throughout the world. Have a lot of fun! Respectfully, Doug

[opensuse] Starting different Firefox sessions with different profiles

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I can start Firefox in different sessions by using a different profile for each: firefox -P default & firefox -P g-lists & For instance, I never login to google with my normal profile, so that even though they track me, they don't associate that tracking to an actual name. I need to do that with Amazon, too: they have the nasty habit of emailing me about things I simply googled for. But the problem is knowing later which window belongs to what profile.
