how to prevent /etc/profile.d/ files from returning
by David T-G 13 Apr '22

13 Apr '22

Hi, all -- I'm running Leap 15.2 (and this has been happening for a while), and after a round of updates I have to go back to /etc/profile.d and wipe out files that I don't want (alias.bash + ls.bash in particular). Different from adding my own run commands to profile.local.sh thereunder, I want to NOT get the stock stuff. Is there any way to keep them from being dropped again so that I don't have to deal with this over and over? *sigh* TIA & HAND :-D -- David T-G See http://justpickone.org/davidtg/email/ See http://justpickone.org/davidtg/tofu.txt

vpn
by Douglas McGarrett 01 Jul '21

01 Jul '21

I have had some evidence of a lack of privacy in my system, and I have a couple of questions. This lack of privacy is a function of the internet, not some person having physical access to the computer. I realize that a vpn will definitely work with email, but will it work with Thunderbird? And will it work with vendors on the 'net? Can one access (for example) Amazon, peruse a category and purchase an item from them via vpn? Is it vendor neutral, so it works with any vendor of any type of product? Assuming the answers to the previous questions are positive, which vpn would be easiest to set up and to use in practice, without being a 'nix guru? Thanx for any comments--doug

kernel 5.13.x and nfs
by mh＠mike.franken.de 01 Jul '21

01 Jul '21

Hi *, just a hint. There seems to be a problem with kernel 5.13.x and nfs (at least v4). Using this kernel, nfs v4 mounts won't succeed any longer - they are just hanging. I found https://lkml.org/lkml/2021/6/29/218, but no solution. Switching back to 5.12.x solves the problem. Bye. Michael.

Incomplete /boot/grub directory leading to boot problems
by Robert Munteanu 28 Jun '21

28 Jun '21

Hi, I have a virtual server that's been running since 13.2, now at 15.1 . At some point I started having boot problems requiring me to log in to the provider's virtual console and manually press enter a couple of times. The first type of problems wa that I only saw error: file `/boot/grub/fonts/unicode.pf2' not found. and the boot process hung (unless I pressed enter a couple of times). So I copied /usr/share/grub2/unicode.pf2 to /boot/grub2/fonts ( the directory did not exist ), regenerated grub.cfg using grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg and rebooted. I was next greeted by error: file `/boot/grub/i386-pc/all_video.mod' not found. which indeed, did not exist. I checked another virtual server I have running ( 15.2 this time ) and working properly and it has the following additional entries in /boot/grub device.map i386-pc locale I could start copying them over, but I guess I'm missing some sort of fundamental operation that was supposed to happen and also potential updates will not happen. I checked, and these files are installed by packages: $ rpm -qf i386-pc locale device.map file /boot/grub2/i386-pc is not owned by any package file /boot/grub2/locale is not owned by any package file /boot/grub2/device.map is not owned by any package With a recent Leap 15.1 upgrade all the grub2 packages were reinstalled, so these were not brought in by scriptlets. I have no idea where to look next right now. Does anyone have any suggestion about how I can get my /boot/grub directory in working order? Thanks, Robert

Sound Problem after Tumbleweed update
by Go Slowly Turtle 23 Jun '21

23 Jun '21

Can someone help me to diagnose a problem with sound on my laptop? My system (after update) is:- Operating System: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20210620 KDE Plasma Version: 5.22.1 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.83.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 Kernel Version: 5.12.10-1-default (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 4 × Intel® Core™ i7-7500U CPU @ 2.70GHz Memory: 15.5 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: Mesa DRI Intel® HD Graphics 620 The problem is that when I play music (through VLC media player or audacity) everything is fine until I plug in earphones. When the earphones connect, there is only silence. The 'phones worked fine until a recent update. PulseAudio Control (Volume Control), shows output and under 'Output Devices' tab when I switch from headphones to speakers, I hear music. Back to headphones, silence. I ran alsa-info.sh when playing through speakers, then connected the headphones and ran alsa-info.sh again. ************** Output: 6c6 < !!Script ran on: Wed Jun 23 15:40:01 UTC 2021 --- > !!Script ran on: Wed Jun 23 15:42:05 UTC 2021 403c403 < Amp-Out vals: [0x4e 0x4e] --- > Amp-Out vals: [0x00 0x00] 416c416 < Amp-Out vals: [0x00 0x00] --- > Amp-Out vals: [0x57 0x57] 513c513 < Amp-Out vals: [0x00 0x00] --- > Amp-Out vals: [0x80 0x80] 593c593 < Pin-ctls: 0x20: IN VREF_HIZ --- > Pin-ctls: 0x21: IN VREF_50 642c642 < Amp-Out vals: [0x80 0x80] --- > Amp-Out vals: [0x00 0x00] 648c648 < Pin-ctls: 0xc0: OUT HP --- > Pin-ctls: 0x00: 767c767 < crw-rw----+ 1 root audio 116, 2 Jun 23 11:39 /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p --- > crw-rw----+ 1 root audio 116, 2 Jun 23 11:41 /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p 829c829 < Mono: Playback 78 [90%] [-6.75dB] [on] --- > Mono: Playback 87 [100%] [0.00dB] [on] 835,836c835,836 < Front Left: Playback 0 [0%] [-65.25dB] [off] < Front Right: Playback 0 [0%] [-65.25dB] [off] --- > Front Left: Playback 87 [100%] [0.00dB] [on] > Front Right: Playback 87 [100%] [0.00dB] [on] 854,855c854,855 < Front Left: Playback 87 [100%] [0.00dB] [on] < Front Right: Playback 87 [100%] [0.00dB] [on] --- > Front Left: Playback 0 [0%] [-65.25dB] [off] > Front Right: Playback 0 [0%] [-65.25dB] [off] 937,938c937,938 < value.0 0 < value.1 0 --- > value.0 87 > value.1 87 946,947c946,947 < dbvalue.0 -6525 < dbvalue.1 -6525 --- > dbvalue.0 0 > dbvalue.1 0 953,954c953,954 < value.0 false < value.1 false --- > value.0 true > value.1 true 964,965c964,965 < value.0 87 < value.1 87 --- > value.0 0 > value.1 0 973,974c973,974 < dbvalue.0 0 < dbvalue.1 0 --- > dbvalue.0 -6525 > dbvalue.1 -6525 980,981c980,981 < value.0 true < value.1 true --- > value.0 false > value.1 false 1105c1105 < value 78 --- > value 87 1113c1113 < dbvalue.0 -675 --- > dbvalue.0 0 1139c1139 < value false --- > value true ********************* It seems that a number of values get set to zero on plugging in the headphones.

KMail broken since Plasma 5.22/framework 5.83
by Axel Braun 21 Jun '21

21 Jun '21

Hi This is more a heads-up resp. request for confirmation: Since one of the latest TW updates - I guess to Plasma 5.22 - KMail does not display all mails anymore: - It shows 25 unread mails, but I find only 8 marked as unread (although 25 is correct) - it does not show a single mail from yesterday (where the PC was off) - akonadictl fsck/vacuum did not fix it - neither did restarting everything Anyone experiencing the same issue? Cheers Axel

Tumbleweed - mtp problems
by mh＠mike.franken.de 20 Jun '21

20 Jun '21

Hi *, when connecting my Samsung S9 via USB-C to my DELL XPS13 notebook, it doesn't show up in the removable devices applet. Instead the applet tells me "no removable devices". Opening dolphin, the smartphone is shown in the devices section, though. From there I can open the folders on either the internal storage or the additional card and also access pictures taken by the smartphone camera below the DCIM folder. But I can't - manage the device via the removable devices applet, - test or configure the smartphone camera in the "digital camera" settings in systemsettings (I get messages like "can't claim USB device" when I try it), Enable autmatic mounting of removable media ist off in system settings. I also uninstalled all gvfs packages, because I suspected them to be the culprit. I am sure, this all worked at least up to last October. I am not sure, when it stopped working - I use this feature only when I'm on vacation. Actually the latest Tumbleweed snapshot is installed on this notebook. Any idea? TIA. Bye. Michael.
