[opensuse] grub2-install question

For some reason my box decided to stop booting. All I get is "GRUB" at boot. I try re-installing grub as I've done in the past but no-go. # fdisk -l /dev/sda Disk /dev/sda: 465.8 GiB, 500107862016 bytes, 976773168 sectors Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disklabel type: gpt Disk identifier: 51CAE1F2-829B-4F9C-9CC7-CE6460E07AB8 Device Start End Sectors Size Type /dev/sda1 2048 20973567 20971520 10G Linux filesystem /dev/sda2 20973568 54527999 33554432 16G Linux swap /dev/sda3 54528000 473958399 419430400 200G Linux filesystem /dev/sda4 473958400 683673599 209715200 100G Linux filesystem /dev/sda5 683673600 976773134 293099535 139.8G Linux filesystem # mount /dev/sda3 /mnt # mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot # mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev # mount --bind /sys /mnt/sys # mount --bind /proc /mnt/proc # chroot /mnt #grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg Generating grub configuration file ...

GRUB can only be installed in this setup by using blocklists. However, blocklists are UNRELIABLE and their use is discouraged.. grub2-install: error: will not proceed with blocklists. Don't remember ever seeing the above error and this has worked in the past. What am I doing wrong? I still just get "GRUB" at boot.

[opensuse] Weird error after zypper dup: symbol __res_maybe_init, version GLIBC_PRIVATE not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference

Hello, I've just updated my server from 42.3 to Lead 15.0. Most stuff works fine but I'm seeing these errors in /var/log/zypp/history: # 2019-03-03 11:24:25 system-user-wwwrun-20170617-lp150.3.34.noarch.rpm installed ok [...] # nscd: relocation error: nscd: symbol __res_maybe_init, version GLIBC_PRIVATE not defined in file libc.so.6 with link 2019-03-03 11:24:25|install|system-user-wwwrun|20170617-lp150.3.34|noarch||repo-oss|736861021fd7782938b3b00f5fc82539140c751e8a09fc5ad121f186ef25d89e| # 2019-03-03 11:24:25 system-user-nobody-20170617-lp150.3.34.noarch.rpm installed ok [...] # nscd: relocation error: nscd: symbol __res_maybe_init, version GLIBC_PRIVATE not defined in file libc.so.6 with link Also when starting privoxy, I get: /usr/sbin/privoxy: relocation error: /lib64/libnss_dns.so.2: symbol __res_maybe_init, version GLIBC_PRIVATE not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference Google tells me this happens when I have two versions of libc installed but that doesn't seem to be the case: # /sbin/ldconfig -v | grep libc.so /lib libc.so.6 -> libc-2.26.so /lib64 libc.so.6 -> libc-2.26.so The RPM package glibc has no modifed files: # rpm -V glibc # I'm stumped what could cause this error.

[opensuse] Probably OT but just in case ...

My system: Leap15 / Plasma 5 I have been trying unsuccessfully to play dvds on this new system. Tried all the usual but nothing worked, then started on the not-so-usual. My system would see everything on the dvd drive but vlc wouldn't play the video. After further digging it seemed that it wasn't passing region check. More digging turned up the following, "The problem is that a lot of newer drives are RPC2 drives these days. Some of these drives don't allow raw access to the drive until the drive firmware has done a region check. VLC uses libdvdcss and it needs raw access to the DVD drive to crack the encryption key" So, I removed the little slim drive (mfg date June 2012) and connected a full sized LG drive from March 2010 and now everything works just fine except the cover won't fit. Maybe a usb to sata converter and go outboard? Question now is how do I find a slim dvd drive that will fit in this mini-itx case that is also RPC-1? Or, how do I find a dvdcss equivalent that works with an RPC-2 drive?
