1-issue-generator not generating; 2-last login absent
by Felix Miata 31 May '24

31 May '24

I have multiple installations where I removed issue-generator for some period until I decided to reverse my attitude about it. The main idea was, and remains, I don't want to see IP addresses onscreen with VT logins. Now I have some installations where even though it has been reinstalled, login prompts on VTs are simply hostname login: on an otherwise blank screen until such time as I systemctl start issue-generator.service Also on all these installations, logging in fails to report date last logged in. Reinstalling issue-generator hasn't helped. # inxi -S System: Host: msi85 Kernel: 6.6.30-1-longterm arch: x86_64 bits: 64 Console: pty pts/0 Distro: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20240514 # systemctl list-units --type target --state active | grep graphical # systemctl status graphical.target ○ graphical.target - Graphical Interface Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/graphical.target; indirect; preset: disabled) Active: inactive (dead) Docs: man:systemd.special(7) # dmesg | grep issue # journalctl -b | grep issue # systemctl list-unit-files | grep issue issue-generator.path enabled enabled issue-add-ssh-keys.service disabled disabled issue-generator.service enabled enabled # ls -glG /etc/issue.d/* /etc/motd.d/* /etc/motd /etc/issue /run/issue ls: cannot access '/etc/motd': No such file or directory ls: cannot access '/run/issue': No such file or directory lrwxrwxrwx 1 12 Apr 29 2022 /etc/issue -> ../run/issue -rw-r--r-- 1 0 Aug 18 2021 /etc/issue.d/70-eth0.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 0 Aug 18 2021 /etc/issue.d/90-openSUSE.conf -rw-rw-r-- 1 27 Oct 3 2015 /etc/motd.d/welcome # cat /etc/issue.d/* /etc/motd.d/* /etc/motd /etc/issue /run/issue Have a lot of MSI85 fun... cat: /etc/motd: No such file or directory cat: /etc/issue: No such file or directory cat: /run/issue: No such file or directory # How can these installations be troubleshot?

plymouth only showing for a brief second on boot
by Jonas Kvinge 29 May '24

29 May '24

Hi, I'm struggling to get plymouth fully working on openSUSE Tumbleweed on an RPI CM4, but I'm not sure this is specific to RPI4 at all, I usually use a verbose mode without plymouth on all my other opensuse machines. I'm using a modified JeOS image from https://en.opensuse.org/HCL:Raspberry_Pi4 with a seperate /boot partition and a encrypted root partition. It's supposed to show a png image during the whole boot process, but it's only show for a brief second after the LUKS partition is unlocked. On reboot however, it works perfectly. This works on Debian bookworm with the same configuration (on the same rpi), on Debian the logo is perfectly shown during the whole kernel boot process including the luks passphase. Here is the relevant configuration: /boot/efi/extraconfig.txt: dtparam=spi=on dtoverlay=dwc2,dr_mode=host dtoverlay=tpm-slb9670 dtoverlay=tpm-soft-spi disable_overscan=1 disable_splash=1 boot_delay=0 auto_initramfs=1 dtoverlay=disable-bt dtoverlay=disable-wifi GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT from /etc/default/grub looks like this: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="systemd.show_status=0 vt.global_cursor_default=0 plymouth.ignore-serial-consoles video=HDMI- A-1:1920x1080M@60,rotate=90 fsck.repair=yes cgroup_enable=memory swapaccount=1 net.ifnames=0 rd.neednet=1 ip=192.168.250.20::192.168.250.200:255.255.255.0::eth0:off quiet splash" Grub configuration was regenerated with: grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg The plymouth logo is a custom one placed under /usr/share/plymouth/themes/vendanor-logo with the following files: /usr/share/plymouth/themes/vendanor-logo/vendanor-logo.plymouth: [Plymouth Theme] Name=Vendanor Logo Description=Vendanor Logo ModuleName=script [script] ImageDir=/usr/share/plymouth/themes/vendanor-logo ScriptFile=/usr/share/plymouth/themes/vendanor-logo/vendanor- logo.script /usr/share/plymouth/themes/vendanor-logo/vendanor-logo.script: wallpaper_image = Image("vendanor-logo.png"); wallpaper_sprite = Sprite(wallpaper_image); It's set with: plymouth-set-default-theme -R vendanor-logo I've tried to look into the journalctl logs, but I don't see anything sticking out.

need an advice over a message during zypper dup: Blocked executable in the ESP, ensure grub and shim are up to date: /boot/efi/EFI/grub/shim.efi.
by Stakanov 28 May '24

28 May '24

The system in question suddenly displays Blocked executable in the ESP, ensure grub and shim are up to date: /boot/efi/ EFI/grub/shim.efi Authenticode checksum [be435df7cd28aa2a7c8db4fc8173475b77e5abf392f76b7c76fa3f698cb71a9a] is present in dbx I found that it is possible that this happens if another OS was installed before, but that was not the case here. Anybody has a suggestion why this could happen? Systemstructure is quite standard: NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINTS sda 8:0 0 119,2G 0 disk ├─sda1 │ 8:1 0 501M 0 part /boot/efi ├─sda2 │ 8:2 0 4G 0 part [SWAP] └─sda3 8:3 0 114,8G 0 part /var /tmp /usr/local /root /srv /opt /boot/grub2/x86_64-efi /boot/grub2/i386-pc /.snapshots / sdb 8:16 0 931,5G 0 disk └─sdb1 │ 8:17 0 931,5G 0 part └─md127 9:127 0 931,5G 0 raid1 /home sdc 8:32 0 931,5G 0 disk └─sdc1 │ 8:33 0 931,5G 0 part └─md127 9:127 0 931,5G 0 raid1 /home sdd 8:48 1 0B 0 disk sde 8:64 1 0B 0 disk sdf 8:80 1 0B 0 disk sdg 8:96 1 0B 0 disk sr0 11:0 1 1024M 0 rom Is this a known issue with a grub update? I thought it would apply only to fwupd? Is it save to proceed to update the system anyway? Can I force grub to update, how would I do this? The system is not under my hand so answers may take some time, currently the user is online. Thank you

how read different language variants of opensuse webpages?
by cagsm 25 May '24

25 May '24

Support, on english firefox surfing the opensuse pages or opensuse wiki, it shows the english editions of the suse websites, respecting the language settings given by the firefox browser application. can I select and surf a different language of the suse pages by adding some parameter to the URL or can this be achieved in some other way than setting language settings inside the webbrowser itself? thanks.

openSUSE leap 15.6 ready for primetime already? zypper today brought in patches
by cagsm 25 May '24

25 May '24

Support, today or the other recent day, zypper on 15.6 brought in the first time updates that were patches. Some day or week ago there were still tons of new packages but all came via zypper up, some final refreshes or rebuilds to the final 15.6 level or so? today also came some openSUSE-release and openSUSE-release-ftp so I figure maybe we have arrived at pretty much the final release level (rtm, rtw, gold)? maybe i can push some boxes from 15.5 to 15.6 safely now? thanks all.

GRUB _ *only* displayed after zypper dup:
by -pj 25 May '24

25 May '24

Hi, I am using Tumbleweed with KDE 6 on a machine here. I decide to update the machine today by passing 'zypper dup' into Konsole. After a bit the update completed and 'zypper ps -s' said there were no core libraries updated but I proceeded to powercycle the machine. After doing this the machine is stuck at the following displayed on screen > GRUB _ Can you tell me what may have happened and the steps to try to attempt to get this repaired?

Automatically grow luks root partition on boot
by Jonas Kvinge 23 May '24

23 May '24

Hi, The RPI4 JeOS image (https://en.opensuse.org/HCL:Raspberry_Pi4) automatically grows the root filesystem partition on boot. I have a custom partition setup based on this image where the root filesystem is encrypted. It has 3 partitions: 1. fat16 UEFI, 2. ext4 /boot partition 3. luks ext4 root partition. I create an image of this setup to use on several machines, and I'd like to automatically grow the luks partition on boot. My understanding is that it's normally done by systemd-repart, but it is possible to set it up so it resizes the root partition after cryptsetup before mounting the root partition? How do I set that up? Jonas
