Packagekitd and zypper stalls during downloads
by Arjen de Korte 18 Dec '20

18 Dec '20

For a while I have been struggling with stalling downloads when running packagekitd and/or 'zypper dup' for openSUSE Tumbleweed on multiple systems. Until recently, I would send a 'kill -HUP <process>' to them to break the stall and restart the downloads. Since previously downloaded updates would be in the cache, this eventually would finish the downloads and successfully run the update. A couple of days ago I thought it might be interesting to see what would happen if I would just kill the stalled connection to the download servers with 'ss -K dst [download server address] dport = 80'. Bingo! Both packagekitd and zypper would immediately resume the download without further input. The connection to the download servers is native IPv6 (fiber) so I guessed it might be a PMTU problem. On my side of the connection MTU = 1500, so it is not likely that packets are being dropped on this end. The 'http://icmpcheckv6.popcount.org/' also shows no problems, so if there is a PMTU problem, it doesn't appear to be something I can fix. My question is, is this a known problem? Are there other people who see this? I have two systems on Tumbleweed, one connected through GigE and one through WLAN 5GHz. Both exhibit the same behavior.

What exactly is the difference between a "users" list and a "support" list? What subject(s) are common from "users" that don't constitute the subject of either another list, or support? The existence of both where many exist creates confusion. The changeover of list servers should have consolidated the two. -- Evolution as taught in public schools, like religion, is based on faith, not on science. Team OS/2 ** Reg.

[heroes] [List migration] Nomail subscription doesn't work
by ASSI 09 Dec '20

09 Dec '20

Hi, due to the list migration I recognized that I was no longer subscribed to the support mailing list. So I subscribed (again), but none of the documented ways of getting a "nomail" subscription without an account works with the new list software. the feature itself must still be there b ecause the other lists did not suddenly start to send email (thankfully) after the migration. Can this please be corrected?
