Hi Felix, Almost nothing in /etc/sysconfig/ is owned by any package. On 08.04.21 06:47, Felix Miata wrote:

Maybe it is just an old config entry? When was this machine initially installed? Nothing ever gets removed from /etc/sysconfig/*, that's one of the problems of the fillup approach (which is slowly getting deprecated nowadays). Templates for /etc/sysconfig/* are in %_fillupdir: ~> rpm --eval %_fillupdir /usr/share/fillup-templates so you could try to find out if one of your installed packages carries this config with grep -r FBSET /usr/share/fillup-templates -- Stefan Seyfried "For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for nature cannot be fooled." -- Richard Feynman

It's the same on 7 installations, 15.1, 15.2, 15.3 & TW, across 3 UEFI machines checked so far, 6 of which are originally newer than 3 years old, much newer than the last openSUSE fbset rpm.

My freshly installed 15.2 does not include FBSET in /etc/sysconfig/console anymore. The template for it is in /usr/share/fillup-templates/sysconfig.console So, this looks fixed for new installs - but old installs will not get the entry removed automatically, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger aj@suse.com Twitter: jaegerandi SUSE Software Solutions Germany GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, D 90409 Nürnberg (HRB 36809, AG Nürnberg) GF: Felix Imendörffer GPG fingerprint = EF18 1673 38C4 A372 86B1 E699 5294 24A3 FF91 2ACB
