what's this delay thing at boot?
by David T-G 24 Mar '21

24 Mar '21

Hi, all -- I have an existing Leap 15.2 system with an nvme SSD, and I'm happy with how it boots. It does not, such that I have ever noticed, exhibit this behavior. However, I have also just built another Leap 15.2 diskfarm:~ # grep . /etc/SUSE-brand /etc/os-release ; uname -a /etc/SUSE-brand:openSUSE /etc/SUSE-brand:VERSION = 15.2 /etc/os-release:NAME="openSUSE Leap" /etc/os-release:VERSION="15.2" /etc/os-release:ID="opensuse-leap" /etc/os-release:ID_LIKE="suse opensuse" /etc/os-release:VERSION_ID="15.2" /etc/os-release:PRETTY_NAME="openSUSE Leap 15.2" /etc/os-release:ANSI_COLOR="0;32" /etc/os-release:CPE_NAME="cpe:/o:opensuse:leap:15.2" /etc/os-release:BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.opensuse.org" /etc/os-release:HOME_URL="https://www.opensuse.org/" Linux diskfarm 5.3.18-lp152.63-default #1 SMP Mon Feb 1 17:31:55 UTC 2021 (98caa86) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux system on a single SATA SSD, and as it boots is reports [ slider ] A start job is running for dev-disk-by\x2dlabel-System.device (nns / 1min 30s) that always runs to the 90-second timeout and then fails. What is that, and how do I make it not?!? TIA & HAND :-D -- David T-G See http://justpickone.org/davidtg/email/ See http://justpickone.org/davidtg/tofu.txt

how to see boot messages when in a diagnostic shell?
by David T-G 15 Mar '21

15 Mar '21

Hi, all -- I am building a Leap 15.2 system and had some filesystem mount issues that caused the system to stick at "enter root password or press Ctrl-D to continue" asking for help. I did get that one (user missing from the passwd file but specified as an NTFS volume content owner) figured out, but it wasn't because I could figure out how to see the errors that went by before the screen cleared and the message & password prompt popped up. I tried looking in /var/log/messages and running dmesg and poking at anything else that I could imagine, but I never did see that mount error. When I'm in a recovery/maintenance single-user shell after a boot failure, how do I see the boot messages to read back and see what blew up? TIA & HAND :-D -- David T-G See http://justpickone.org/davidtg/email/ See http://justpickone.org/davidtg/tofu.txt

Re: How to delete and reinstall Java
by J Leslie Turriff 12 Mar '21

12 Mar '21

I've screwed up the Java package on my machine, and now the system can't see/run java. ...Aaaand it appears that I won't have to reinstall it after all, just add back the symbolic link | ln -s /usr/lib64/jvm/java-11-openjdk-11/bin/java /usr/bin/java which possibly update-alternatives erased? Anyway, my Java seems to be working again. Leslie -- openSUSE Leap 15.2 x86_64

How to delete and reinstall Java
by J Leslie Turriff 12 Mar '21

12 Mar '21

I've screwed up the Java package on my machine, and now the system can't see/run java. Background: In order to use packages NetRexx and NetRexx-Pipelines, which until recently depended on Java 8, I had both Java 8 and Java 11 installed, with update-alternatives mediating the two. Now the NetRexx products have been upgraded to work with Java >8, so I didn't need the Java 8 any more. I deleted that, but I'm guessing that update-alternatives wasn't notified. I removed the entries from its "database", but that hasn't helped. Poking around, I see various things like aliases defined in /etc, that refer to java, but don't have comments, etc. tying them to one or the other of the packages. I'm thinking that I need to delete the NetRexx components (easy), then Java 11, then reinstall Java and then NetRexx. Zypper shows | ● zypper se -i java-11 | Loading repository data... | Reading installed packages... | | S | Name | Summary | Type | ---+---------------------------------------+------------------------------------------------------------------------+-------- | i+ | java-11-openjdk | OpenJDK 11 Runtime Environment | package | i+ | java-11-openjdk-headless | OpenJDK 11 Runtime Environment | package When I try to remove them zypper says, | ● zypper rm java-11-openjdk{,-headless} | Reading installed packages... | Resolving package dependencies... | | The following 26 packages are going to be REMOVED: | apache-commons-lang3 apache-commons-logging bouncycastle flute java-11-openjdk | java-11-openjdk-headless libbase libfonts libformula liblayout | libloader libreoffice-base librepository libserializer pdftk pdftk-qgui | pentaho-libxml pentaho-reporting-flow-engine sac texlive-arara | texlive-collection-binextra texlive-collection-plaingeneric texlive-latex2nemeth | texlive-scheme-medium texlive-tex4ht texlive-texosquery | | 26 packages to remove. | After the operation, 209.0 MiB will be freed. | Continue?

I tried to use YaST sw_single to delete the two Java 11 packages, but bizarrely, it tries to install them instead of removing them. Help! Leslie -- openSUSE Leap 15.2 x86_64

Non-bootable system after upgrade
by Jogchum Reitsma 08 Mar '21

08 Mar '21

Hi, Today I tried to upgrade a system which apparently hadn't been upgraded for ages: it still ran 42.3. I did it he way I am used to: choose for a fresh install, and import the filesystem layout and mountpoints from the existing system. (It still puzzles me why the default proposition from the installer always is to re-arrange the existing filesystems on disk, in a way that is destroying all data on it.. Why not at least keep the /home partition intact?). In this process I get the warming The system might not be able to boot: * A partition of type BIOS Boot Partition is needed to install the bootloader * Such a setup is not supported and may cause problems with the bootloader now and in the future And I'm given the choice to continue or not. The message as such is somewhat ambiguous to me: is a partition of type BIOS Boot Partition needed for the new installation, and is it non-existing? Or, the other way around, does it exist and should it be deleted for a successful install? Moreover, the message doesn't give a clue as to what to do. This warning slightly resembles another one, for which I asked for and got help for the 10th of October 2018 (https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/533410-Warning-about-missing-bio…); there I decided to continue, and installation went without problems. Therefore, AND not knowing what the installer wanted, I decided to continue. But this time the installation itself went smoothly, but left me with an unbootable system: there is no valid partition found to boot from. The partitions on the disk are: /dev/sda1 4.00 GiB Swap on Swap /dev/sda2 50.00 GiB BtrFS on / /dev/sda3 0.86TiB XFS on /home /dev/sda4 1.00 GiB FAT on /boot/efi Why did the system boot on 42.3, and refuses it to boot from 15.2? More important, what can I do to make the system boot? Preferably without touching /home... Your help is greatly appreciated! regards, Jogchum

by Christian Schmitz 03 Mar '21

03 Mar '21

Hi everyone. I am having trouble booting from usb. I am trying to recover data from a notebook with windows. So i think use a live linux from opensuse. And perform the following steps: 1) download a opensuse liveCD, (3 opensuse versions and others) 2) install the image with imagewriter to a usb with a SD memory. 3) go to failed notebook select boot from usb 4) Grub menu works fine. 5) I select start live..... 6) The system cant boot: mount /run/overlay/squashfs_container: wrong fs type on /dev/loop0 mount /run/overlay/rootfsbase: special device /LiveOS/rootfs.img does not exist. system halted Y try on another notebook (that work well) with the similar result. dracut: FATAL: failed to mount live ISO dracut: Refusing to continue I need touch some on bios? live TW & live Leap are broken? Some special command to grup is required? Or any other idea or clue? Best Regards Christian -- Be Free, Be Linux

intel / nvidia and xorg.conf
by mh＠mike.franken.de 01 Mar '21

01 Mar '21

Hi *, I'd like to setup a machine with an internal Intel UHD630 device plus a PCIe NVidia GTX750 card. I started with the Intel device as single graphics adapter. With the attached xorg-intel.conf everything works as expected, all screen and monitor sections have been accepted by the X server and the plugged monitors show the appropriate output streams. Then I added the NVidia sections to this xorg.conf, named it xorg- intel_nvidia.conf and things got strange. Screen 0, that has the nvidia device attached , works as expected - the tv signal shows up on the tv. But for the screens served by the intel device I get an error messages saying "(EE) Screen 1 deleted because of no matching config section." - but the sections contain exactly the same parameters as they have in the intel only configuration, where they are working perfectly!?!? Whats more, I still get Screen 1, but with some default settings. I don't get Screen 2 at all. I spent at least four days trying to find out whats going on here, but didn't succeed. To make it even harder, every time I run xrandr for any of the screens, the NVidia driver is dumping core 8-( This also doesn't happen with the intel only setup. Any idea whats up here? Thx. Bye. Michael.
