After doing a new install of 15.2, I realized I was never prompted for a root password. Now I can't access most things to configure the system. How do I set a root password on this system?

/var/run/wpa_supplicant ?
by Per Jessen 02 Mar '21

02 Mar '21

Background first - I am writing an interface for configuring wifi over a small 160x80 display and a numeric keypad only. I am only just getting my feet wet with wpa_supplicant - for working with wpa_cli, I seem to need /var/run/wpa_supplicant as specified in /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf. /var/run/wpa_supplicant seems to be missing ? (on at least three systems I've looked at). Judging by the man page for wpa_supplicant.conf, what we (openSUSE) provide as a default is wrong? We have ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant ctrl_interface_group=wheel whereas the man page suggests: ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=wheel 'ctrl_interface_group' is not even mentioned in the man page. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (4.2°C)

Fwd: [packman] PMBS will go down in a few minutes - back probably tomorrow around noon

---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Stefan Botter <jsj(a)jsj.dyndns.org> Date: Sat, Feb 27, 2021 at 9:19 AM Subject: [packman] PMBS will go down in a few minutes - back probably tomorrow around noon To: <packman(a)links2linux.de> Hi Packmans, as announced earlier, PMBS will be down for the move. I have to do a cold migration, as I am changing architectures (Intel to AMD), and previous moves suggest a transfer time of about 8-10 hours. As I will probably sleeping when the machine is transferred, I will start it back tomorrow. I will move my mail setup also, and will thus not be able to write a mail about it at that time, but will get back to you as soon I am able to write mails again.

Installing MicroOS and Other Issues
by colony.three＠protonmail.ch 01 Mar '21

Hello, anyone friendly here? I get all kinds of grief on IRC about MicroOS. I'm concerned about the future of MicroOS because they tell me I am the only one running it. No one will even help with OpenSuse questions because I'm running MicroOS. Miuku says he has no use for MicroOS. No one recognizes the hacker-resistance that immutability confers, not to mention rollbacks, etc. I find that once you learn its secrets it runs great, but with little or no uptake by others, is this a dead project? Tell me now, before I standardize on it. Second, I am trying to install mailu/postfix into the current MicroOS. I've managed to install podman3 and docker, and have set up the mailu config files. But when I run $ docker-compose up -d Creating network "mailu_default" with driver "bridge" Pulling redis (redis:alpine)... ERROR: Get https://registry-1.docker.io/v2/: dial tcp: lookup registry-1.docker.io on [::1]:53: dial udp [::1]:53: connect: cannot assign requested address # Yep, I have IPV6 disabled. But running a grep for [::1]:53 in ~ and /etc I come up empty. Why in the world does it only try IPV6? Any idea where to neuter this? Also, I am downloading MicroOS https://download.opensuse.org/ports/aarch64/tumbleweed/iso/openSUSE-MicroOS… . This is for an ODroid N2+. Once I get it, do I dd to a USB flash and boot to install?
