Emacs and (color) emoji
by Achim Gratz 21 Jun '23

21 Jun '23

One of my Linux machines w/ Tumbleweed (which were both using the same base installation, but have probably diverged a bit during the years of using them for different tasks) shows color emoji in Emacs, while the other doesn't. I can't find out which package and/or configuration is responsible for that, any ideas?

Video Intel awaking w wrong Brightness level
by Marco Calistri 28 May '23

28 May '23

Hello, I've been able to set a specific brightness intensity at evry boot, by using an /etc/init.d/after.local script, but anytime my system awakes from suspended mode, the brightness resets to a very high intensity. from dmesg I see: [ 3.128757] i915 0000:00:02.0: [drm] Skipping intel_backlight registration [ 33.797331] ideapad_acpi VPC2004:00: Keyboard backlight control not available [28383.336476] video LNXVIDEO:00: Restoring backlight state How could I resolve this? Which file is used by Tumbleweed for an after suspend brightness adjustment? Thanks and regards, -- Marco Calistri Build: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20230213 Kernel: 6.1.10-1-default - XFCE: (4.18.1)

Network Manager and my 'Use Case'
by Charles Rinnoch 01 May '23

01 May '23

Hi All I am currently using Wicked for network connection, but very much aware that this appears to be deprecated and likely to be taken out of the next version of Leap, so I have been looking at Network Manager and hit against some issues. I run several machines on a network with a NAS for shared storage. I import a home drive image with NFS to /import/home and soft link several individual user images into /home to allow user logon to a personal environment on each of several computers on the network. So far, so good - it works really well for my small setup for several years across all Leap 15.x. Moreover, a switch between Wicked and Network Manager is sufficiently slick that I can have some user IDs on the laptop only and use available wifi away from home via Network Manager. Problems come when I try to use Network Manager for the setup at home, in that Network Manager is not invoked [by systemd?] at the same point as Wicked is. So that leaves the NFS shares unconnected when the logon screen becomes available [ie the ID's on NFS don't show up] and it appears that Network Manager is more a per user subsystem for which you need to log in in order to get the connections you want. Now, I can work around this by logging in as root and doing 'mount -a' and there appears to be some options in fstab to make this work, so I am not totally stuck. Thus, my question for anyone who has confronted similar: Is there a 'best' or 'recommended ' way to address this issue and get the NFS shares available with Network Manager before the logon screen displays. Thanks in advance, any and all help on this appreciated CR

repo update/Leap/15.4/sle performance dismal
by Felix Miata 28 Apr '23

28 Apr '23

I just updated a 15.4 installation on a Pentium D, well known for its sloth, using the following general steps: 1-zypper ref 2-zypper -v up 3-zypper in kernel-default Step 3 consumed most of its 6m15s process time re-refreshing update/Leap/15.4/sle, having just done so prior to upgrading about 120 packages. This is hardly the first time I've observed poor update/Leap/15.4/sle performance. ISTR timing refresh once to find update/Leap/15.4/sle refresh takes longer than it takes to refresh all other repos combined. I'm in FL USA, and would like to know how to tell which repo download.opensuse.org is being redirected to for zypper's use. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science.

[TW] Trying to get wpa_supplicant working
by Bob Williams 27 Apr '23

27 Apr '23

System is Tumbleweed with KDE Plasma desktop. I have been following the "Network Manager and my 'Use Case' thread with interest and have managed to setup a working ethernet network connection using systemd-networkd, thanks to the examples posted there. I also have a wireless card in this computer, and was using Network Manager to manage both wired and wireless connections. Now that I have disabled Network Manager, I would like to find a similar systemd-networkd solution for my wireless card. I believe I have to use wpa_supplicant to communicate passwords etc with the router, followed by the systemd-networkd configuration. I have created /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf --- ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant ctrl_interface_group=wheel # home network; allow all valid ciphers network={ ssid="Hillingdon Wi-Fi" <== Name as seen by mobile phone, for example scan_ssid=1 key_mgmt=WPA-PSK psk="my-wifi-password" <=== not the real password } --- But when I do # wpa_supplicant -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -d wpa_supplicant v2.10 Successfully initialized wpa_supplicant Initializing interface 'wlan0' conf '/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf' driver 'default' ctrl_interface 'N/A' bridge 'N/A' Configuration file '/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf' -> '/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf' Reading configuration file '/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf' ctrl_interface='/var/run/wpa_supplicant' ctrl_interface_group='wheel' Priority group 0 id=0 ssid='Hillingdon Wi-Fi' Could not read interface wlan0 flags: No such device nl80211: Driver does not support authentication/association or connect commands nl80211: deinit ifname=wlan0 disabled_11b_rates=0 nl80211: Remove monitor interface: refcount=0 netlink: Operstate: ifindex=0 linkmode=0 (kernel-control), operstate=6 (IF_OPER_UP) Could not read interface wlan0 flags: No such device wlan0: Failed to initialize driver interface Failed to add interface wlan0 wlan0: Cancelling scan request wlan0: Cancelling authentication timeout Off-channel: Clear pending Action frame TX (pending_action_tx=(nil) QM: Clear all active DSCP policies wlan0: CTRL-EVENT-DSCP-POLICY clear_all There seem to be two problems: 1. No such device (fatal!) 2. Driver does not support authentication - but NM succeeded in setting up a connection. Can anyone suggest what I'm missing here, please? TIA -- Bob Williams No HTML please.

dracut call during kernel uninstalling
by Bjoern Voigt 18 Apr '23

18 Apr '23

If I uninstall an openSUSE kernel, why does the RPM scripts call dracut? I don't think, this is useful. Probably it has something to do with the fact, that one kernel has three RPMs (kernel-default-5.14.21-150400.24.55.3, kernel-default-extra-5.14.21-150400.24.55.3, kernel-default-optional-5.14.21-150400.24.55.3 in the example). An example (openSUSE Leap 15.4): mybox:~ # rpm -qf /boot/vmlinuz-* kernel-default-5.14.21-150400.22.1.x86_64 kernel-default-5.14.21-150400.24.55.3.x86_64 kernel-default-5.14.21-150400.24.60.1.x86_64 mybox:~ # zypper rm kernel-default-5.14.21-150400.24.55.3.x86_64 Reading installed packages... Resolving package dependencies... The following 3 packages are going to be REMOVED: kernel-default-5.14.21-150400.24.55.3 kernel-default-extra-5.14.21-150400.24.55.3 kernel-default-optional-5.14.21-150400.24.55.3 3 packages to remove. After the operation, 232,5 MiB will be freed. Continue? [y/n/v/...? shows all options] (y): dracut: Executing: /usr/bin/dracut -f /boot/initrd-5.14.21-150400.24.55-default 5.14.21-150400.24.55-default dracut: dracut module 'systemd-coredump' will not be installed, because command 'coredumpctl' could not be found!

apparmor denies execution of binaries
by Olaf Hering 16 Apr '23

16 Apr '23

For testing purposes I have variants of upstream qemu, which are supposed to be started via upstream libvirt. Unfortunately, apparmor is denying executing these binaries: type=AVC msg=audit(N.N:N): apparmor="DENIED" operation="exec" profile="libvirtd" name="/usr/lib64/qemu-6.2/bin/qemu-system-x86_64" pid=3956 comm="rpc-libvirtd" requested_mask="x" denied_mask="x" fsuid=475 ouid=0 Apparently adding this to /etc/apparmor.d/abstractions/libvirt-qemu is not enough: /usr/lib64/qemu-6.2 r, /usr/lib64/qemu-6.2/bin r, /usr/lib64/qemu-6.2/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 rmix, What needs to be done to permit execution, except 'systemctl stop apparmor && aa-teardown'? Thanks, Olaf
