LEAP 42.2 Seagate USB3 portable confuses Gparted

Hi

I bought a Seagate USB3 portable storage drive from ebay. It arrived with an NTFS filesystem. I mounted it as sdc1 and tried to look at it with Gparted. Gparted interface whirled its wheels for a while and could not complete its normal scan of devices. Clearly it was confused by the plug-in seagate drive.

Gparted stopped trying to scan and asked this of me:
Code:
john@leap422:~> su -c gparted
Password:
======================
libparted : 3.1
======================

/dev/sdc contains GPT signatures, indicating that it has a GPT table.  However, it does not have a valid fake msdos partition table, as it should.  Perhaps it was corrupted -- possibly by a program that doesn't understand GPT partition tables.  Or perhaps you deleted the GPT table, and are now using an msdos partition table.  Is this a GPT partition table?

** (gpartedbin:4862): WARNING **: Invalid borders specified for theme pixmap:
        /usr/share/themes/Breeze/gtk-2.0/../assets/line-h.png,
borders don't fit within the image
In addition I was asked by the software to respond "yes" or "no" to the question "Is this a GPT partition table?".

I'm being very careful because a prior USB3 drive from ebay a week earlier became irrevocably broken after I tried to do stuff with it.

What is the answer I should give the question, and why?

OTHER VERSION X in ALT+CTRL+F8, not F7?

My main work machine is still on oS 13.2 x64 KDE4. Today there was a power failure and, after viewing the messages in ALT+CTRL+F10, I had to use ALT+CTRL+F8 to go back to X, i.e., the graphical terminal. I've noticed this before, but thought it was just the way oS 13.2 is set.

However yesterday in another 13.2 x64 KDE4 machine, a media center, I noticed that X is associated to ALT+CTRL+F7, not F8.

I'm curious about why the difference, but couldn't find any references in a (quick) search.

Thanks,

Hi,

how can I solve this problem?

Problema: nada fornece libcrypto.so.1.0.0(OPENSSL_1.0.0)(64bit) que é necessário a pclsync-3.1.1-2.x86_64
Solução 1: desinstalação de pclsync-3.1.1-2.x86_64
Solução 2: quebrar pclsync-3.1.1-2.x86_64 ao ignorar algumas das dependências

I have installed some packages to try to solve it, but nothing work.

Many thanks

CVE-2017-7494 - SAMBA vulnerability - Immediate mitigation and bugfix status

SUSE bugfix status
https://www.suse.com/security/cve/CVE-2017-7494/

Mitigation steps at the bottom of this RHEL bulletin if you can't risk waiting for the bugfix
https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2017-7494

Description:
Remember that Wannacry ransomware in Windows these past 3 months or so, which have paralyzed a number of major systems most notably the UK Healthcare system?

Although the vulnerability is different, the exploits which are already in the wild are the same... ransomware encrypting your shared files through a SAMBA vulnerability. Anyone running any modern version of SAMBA (3.5 and later) is affected.

At the moment as this is being posted, there are only a few infections, but if you can't wait for the bugfix, be sure to implement the patch in the RHEL bulletin. Since this is now hitting the general public news outlets, there may be more exploits written.

And, this means that everyone should be on the watch for the expected System Update which will include this patch... Don't delay your next system update (maybe execute daily for now).

Manual encryption partition setup for stronger full disk encryption

May 26, 2017, 3:20 pm

When installing openSUSE or SUSE Linux Enterprise, YaST is able to configure encrypted LVM using LUKS for full disk encryption. The default configuration is aes-xts-plain64 using a 256 bit master key. However, due to how the XTC mode splits the key into two halves, this reduces the effective key size used for AES to 128 […]

LEAP 42.2 Leap 42.2, Asus and Nvidia

May 26, 2017, 7:07 pm

Hi there opensuse team and users

I recently got a new laptop to replace my ancient Asus A7k. Its a lovely ASUS ROG GL752VW-DH71.

I've tried to install Leap 42.2 several times without much success. I understand that it is an optimus platform. Accordingly I've following the bumblee instructions. I've tried both btrfs and ext4 filesystems for both home and root partitions. Neither has changed the end result.

During my latest install attempt, I got to the point where the NVIDA drivers (easy way) were installing but encountered soft-locks (this has been typical of every attempt thus far....very annoying) that wouldn't go away for the last two rpms. I rebooted, and wasn't able to login with my stated user id, and default kernel (hung at text login). Zo I thought I'd resume using debug kernel. I finished installing the rest of the rpms, and finished the bumblebee config steps (Perhaps not the best idea, but it was late, I was frustrated, and had little sleep). Now for debug and regular kernel and regular safemode, I boot, get to text login. This looks alive long enough for me to type 4 characters (i.e. root) as login credentials, then it hangs.

The only way I can login to linux at this point is debug, safe mode. By some small miracle I get a graphical login and can get into plasma.

When I run optirun --status, it tells me that X is inactive and discrete video is likely on. optirun glxgears tells me that secondary GPU driver could not be loaded.

Any suggestions would be helpful (please tell me I don't need to reinstall again!). I've also tried 'intel_pstate=disable' and 'nomodeset' or 'nouveau.modprobe=0' after doing research within the forums. Unfortunately this hasn't moved me any further.

I know I should be including various diagnostics, but its been awhile since I had to build drivers so bear with me. Let me know what is needed so I don't waste anyones time

Cheers

LEAP 42.2 Broadcom Now Offering Drivers for some BCM43XX Cards

Broadcom now offering Linux Drivers for several BCM43XX Cards.

I repeat, Broadcom now offering Linux Drivers for several BCM43XX Cards.

I stumbled upon this on the Broadcom website while checking something with my wireless card and most people aren't aware of it.

https://www.broadcom.com/support/dow...pa=&dk=BCM4321

An excerpt of the driver description reads:

"These packages contain Broadcom's IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n hybrid Linux.. device driver for use with Broadcom's BCM4311-, BCM4312-, BCM4313-, BCM4321-, BCM4322-, BCM43224-, and BCM43225-, BCM43227- and BCM43228-based hardware. There are different tars for 32-bit and 64-bit x86 CPU architectures. Make sure that you download the appropriate tar because the hybrid binary file must be of the appropriate architecture type. The hybrid binary file is agnostic to the specific version of the Linux. kernel because it is designed to perform all interactions with the operating system through operating-system-specific files and an operating system abstraction layer file. All Linux. operating-system-specific code is provided in source form, making it possible to retarget to different kernel versions and fix operating system related issues. NOTE: You must read the LICENSE.TXT file in the lib directory before using this software. Support questions for the latest version of these drivers may be directed to linux.-wlan-client-support-list@broadcom.com."

They apparently came out with this two years ago in 2015 but Broadcom did not notify anyone in the Linux Community. 32 and 64 bit drivers are here. They are listed as the Linux(R) STA 64 Bit Driver or the Linux (R) STA 32 Bit Driver.

Root ran outa space when zypper dup & trying to install new kernel. YaST says two kernels installed at the moment, I aborted zypper install to await advise. Will I need to manually increase / via Clonezilla & GParted, in which case rob from some other partition, I guess? Or hopefully not need to clone & just a simple resize?

OTHER VERSION Afhankelijk heden programma en of updaten van 42.1 naar 42.2

Wat is het probleem ?

Leap 42.1 heeft het eind van zijn leven bereikt.

Ik moet dus naar 42.2 als ik nog updates wil krijgen.

Nu heb ik echter net een programma zelf gecompileerd, LMMS rc 1.2 en dat is elke keer vooral lastig, omdat je alle afhankelijkheden moet zoeken.
Er is wel een lijst van de afhankelijkheden ( dependecies), maar daar ontbreken dingen aan.

Ik ben al dagen aan het zoeken geweest, maar vind geen duidelijk antwoord waar ik wat aan heb.

Vraag1
Begrijp ik het nou goed, dat als ik een update uitvoer, en ik mazzel heb, ik LMMS niet opnieuw hoef te compilen ? ( ik weet even niet wat compilen in het nederlands is )

Vraag 2
Kan ik een lijst maken van de afhankelijkheden, van de LMMS versie die ik zelf gecompileerd heb? Via de opdracht prompt ?
Op mijn computer staat nu ook een andere versie van lmms, van packman, die is op de normale manier via yast geïnstalleerd is.

Vraag 3
Is een update uitvoeren (42.1 -> 42.2) ipv een gewone installatie, vragen om problemen, als je de nvidia drivers gebruikt ?

Beetje off topic, ik heb de 42.2 iso natuurlijk al met bittorrent binnen gehaald, helaas ging het branden van de dvd mis, en dat was waarschijnlijk het einde van mijn huidige brander.
Ik heb inmiddels een nieuwe dvd brander binnen. Je blijft lachen met die computers. :sarcastic:

Ik haal altijd mijn openSUSE iso's altijd binnen met Bit torrent, stukje traditie inmiddels. Gebruik ik bit torrent tenminste af en toe ook waar het voor gemaakt is. ;)

Hello.

I try to set env variables of my own for every users.
Every users log in graphical env : KDE dektop.

I have create a file : /etc/profile.local and put in it :
Code:
if [[ "$PROFILE_LOCAL_READ" != "true" ]] ; then
    # For all users

    export PATH=/backup_sys/000_COMMON/Bin:$PATH

    /backup_sys/000_COMMON/Bin/system_wide_common_env_set
fi
#
# set only once
#
if [[ -z "$PROFILE_LOCAL_READ" ]] ; then
    readonly PROFILE_LOCAL_READ=true
    export PROFILE_LOCAL_READ
fi
The script "/backup_sys/000_COMMON/Bin/system_wide_common_env_set"
source two other scripts
Code:
source "/backup_sys/000_COMMON/Bin/system_common_general_env_var"
source "/backup_sys/000_COMMON/Bin/system_common_function"
The file /backup_sys/000_COMMON/Bin/system_common_general_env_var contains :
Code:
declare -i  E_BAD_ARGS=3  E_BAD_OPTS=4  .....
export E_BAD_ARGS  E_BAD_OPTS ....
And the file /backup_sys/000_COMMON/Bin/system_common_function contains
Code:
function date2stamp_full2  {
#    "2016-11-27__14h15m02s"
    date --date "$1" +%Y-%m-%d__%Hh%Mm%Ss
}
#
function date2stamp2  {
#    "2016_11_27__14h15"
    date --date "$1" +%Y_%m_%d__%Hh%M
}
...................
.............
export -f date2stamp_full2 date2stamp2 ........
After log in, In a terminal (konsole) when I test a variable, it is unset.
I have used the command logger to display value in the journal.
It seems OK

So it seems that I have to put the assignment directly in /etc/profile.local
Or may I source the file from /etc/profile.local
Or what else

Any help is welcome.
