by Lubos Kocman 16 Feb '21

16 Feb '21

Hello openSUSE, most of SUSE people are attending internal SLE NEXT workshop and will not be available for the meeting. Sarah also apologized that she won't be able to attend because of an overlapping meeting. Therefore the meeting itself is cancelled. I'd like to ask the usual Release team call crew to fill in meeting minutes https://etherpad.opensuse.org/p/ReleasEngineering-20210217 Thank you very much for your understanding! -- Best regards Lubos Kocman Release Manager openSUSE Leap SUSE LINUX, s.r.o.

KWallet bug? Window for entering password "freezes" after first character
by Sebastian M. Ernst 15 Feb '21

15 Feb '21

Hi all, first (quick) question: Does anyone observe the same or similar? Scenario: I have been logged into KDE for a longer period of time (several hours at least). I have yet not used KWallet for anything, so I have not entered my password yet (since I started a KDE session). Let's say I want switch from a cable connection to WIFI. KWallet pops up and asks me for my password (to unlock the WPA key) - as usual. The problem: The KWallet password prompt window allows exactly one character / key stroke. Then it "freezes", i.e. no further characters can be entered. The one already entered character can not be removed either. I am left with the option of clicking "cancel" (or "ok", but then the password is obviously wrong). This annoyance started about two weeks ago. I can not pin it to any particular change of configuration or update (but I could also be wrong). The problem goes away when I log out of my KDE session and log back in again (i.e. start a new KDE session). Second question: Any ideas how to debug this (without messing too much with this system)? This is a more or less "standard" Leap 15.1 system (yes, not yet upgraded). Thanks, Sebastian

openQA hardware testing
by Bernhard M. Wiedemann 15 Feb '21

15 Feb '21

Hi, we had some openQA hardware testing in the past using the KVM2USB device [1]. Unfortunately that had some problems: * the driver was not open-source, so you had to ask the vendor to compile it for new kernels (every year after dup) * VGA capture only provided 3x6 bit per pixel with added noise, so we had to do fuzzy matching * had to manage CDs and power separately I know also that Alexander Graf looked into HDMI capture earlier, but FPGA-based devices in that area were rather expensive and complicated to get right. and I had experimented with USB-OTG keyboard+CD emulation during hackweek in https://github.com/os-autoinst/os-autoinst/tree/hidg Now thanks to Luca Beltrame, I discovered https://www.dennogumi.org/2021/02/dyi-kvm-over-ip-with-pikvm/ * based on Raspberry Pi 4 * HDMI capture over the camera input * fully open source * emulates keyboard+mouse+CD over USB-OTG (aka HID gadget mode) * provides VNC access and there will even be v3 hardware soon as a RPi-hat with integrated power control and less manual setup work. If we go this route and it is working, at some point we could replace the embedded ArchLinux with an openSUSE. This could finally ensure that at least some NVidia and AMD graphics cards keep working, with the possibility for some extra hardware testing for whatever Ethernet/Wifi/SATA/RAID/NVMe adapter is in the system under test. Ciao Bernhard M. [1] https://www.epiphan.com/products/kvm2usb/

Pattern for Cinnamon
by Axel Braun 15 Feb '21

15 Feb '21

Dear Geekos, openSUSE offers a variety of desktops one can install right from the same installation medium. However, while we claim that we package Cinnamon, there is no pattern for it yet, so there is no easy way to select the desktop for installation. We have created https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1181253 in case someone wants to help.... Thanks Axel

davfs2 - can't mount from /etc/fstab anymore
by Ulf 15 Feb '21

15 Feb '21

Hi Together, I reviewed my logs today and I find an error at daily script which safes the WebDAVs mounted data to my storage. If I mount manually like in the past # mount /mnt/webdav unbekannte Option symfollow. Aufruf: mount.davfs -V, --version : Versionsinformation anzeigen mount.davfs -h, --help : diese Hilfe anzeigen Um eine WebDAV-Resource zu einzuhängen, sollte mount.davfs nicht direkt aufgerufen werden; stattdessen sollte „mount” benutzt werden. mount <mountpoint> : oder mount <server-url> : hänge die WebDAV-Resource entsprechend den Angaben in /etc/fstab ein. mount -t davfs <server-url> <mountpoint> [-o Optionen] : hänge die WebDAV-Resource <server-url> in Verzeichnis <mountpoint> ein. Nur root darf dies tun. Optionen ist eine durch Kommas unterteilte Liste von Optionen. Mögliche Optionen: conf= : absoluter Pfad der Benutzer-Konfigurationsdatei uid= : Besitzer des Dateisystems (Name oder numerische ID) gid= : Gruppe des Dateisystems (Name oder numerische ID) file_mode= : Standard-Rechte für Dateien (oktal) dir_mode= : Standard-Rechte für Verzeichnisse (oktal) ro : nur Lesen rw : Lesen und Schreiben [no]exec : Ausführen von Programmdateien ist (nicht) erlaubt [no]suid : gesetzte suid- und sgid-Bits sind (nicht) wirksam [no]grpid : neue Dateien erhelten die gid des übergeordneten Verzeichnisses [no]_nedev : benötigt (keine) Netzwerkverbindung # cat /etc/fstab | grep webdav https://sd2dav.1und1.de:443/ /mnt/webdav davfs noauto,user,rw 0 0 Nothing changed on the setup or package. Only done the normal "zypper dup" and reboot at 1 o'clock if a kernel update is available. (Don't remind when this was done in the past) The first time it was present at 2021-02-07_03:00:01 (the day before it works fine 2021-02-06_03:00:01). Seams that one of the previous updates change something in the davfs2 dependencies are changed. PS: Anyway - if I mount different users at the same WebDAV source - the estimation of the df comand was wrong (for each one the same size). Regards Ulf

Tumbleweed - Review of the weeks 2021/05 & 06
by Dominique Leuenberger / DimStar 12 Feb '21

12 Feb '21

Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers, Apologies for missing the review of the week 2021.05 to be sent out in time. But as you already know from the past, that does not mean the information is being lost. I’ll just give you a review of the last two weeks instead. For Tumbleweed, this means we have seen 8 snapshots being published in those two weeks (0130, 0131, 0202, 0203, 0205, 0208, 0209, and 0210). The main changes included: * Mozilla Firefox 85.0 * Rust 1.49.0 * Python 3.8.7 * Bind 9.16.11: changed protection of/against “named” from chroot jail to systemd protection. This obsolete the subpackage named- chrootenv. * Linux kernel 5.10.12 * Pulseaudio 14.2 * Pipewire 0.3.20: pipewire is growing to become a replacement for PulseAudio * util-linux 2.36.1 * Mesa 20.3.4 * GCC 11 is now used to provide the base libraries, like libgcc_s1. GCC 10 is still used to compile the distribution * KDE Applications 20.12.2 * Systemd 246.10 The next snapshot to be published (20210211 or newer, depending on QA results) will be based on glibc 2.33. As is usual with a glibc upgrade, I triggered a full rebuild of the repository. So the next snapshot coming out after today will be big (in bytes) These changes are currently piled up for future tumbleweed snapshots: * glibc 2.33 (snapshot 0211+) * Postfix: change the default database format to lmdb, migrating away from BerkeleyDB * Linux kernel 5.10.14 and later * Libreoffice 7.1 * KDE Plasma 5.21: currently 5.20.90 being tested * openssl 1.1.1i, based on centralized crypto-policies package * Use GCC 11 as default compiler (Staging:Gcc7; we should finally rename that staging :P) Cheers, Dominique
