[opensuse-support] updatedb now fails for regular user with local db
by Ralph 29 Nov '18

29 Nov '18

[os Leap 15, xfce] I have a private mlocate database in my /home. Since a few days ago attempting to update the db now fails for a command such as: "updatedb -l 0 -o /home/rsil/Downloads/rsildb -U /home/rsil" Message is: "updatedb: can not open a temporary file for `/home/rsil/Downloads/rsildb" There was an update to mlocate on 17 Nov, perhaps the culprit, or not. Whatever. How do I get back the ability to update my own database? Thanks.

[opensuse-support] KWin does not work on some web browsers
by Constant Brouerius van Nidek 27 Nov '18

27 Nov '18

At the moment I am using Vivaldi as my web browser. I like what it has to offer. One thing though is that I cannot tie Vivaldi to My number three desktop because there is no way to use the KWin feature which is part of most windows. Working with some other browsers I found that the KWin feature is also not available with Opera. Due to this these programs just fix themselves at the desktop number one, a desktop which I have assigned to something different. How can I give these browsers there own desktop window? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-support] nVidia support
by Liam Proven 22 Nov '18

22 Nov '18

I am trying to install the proprietary drivers for an nVidia Quadro K620. Is there anything I should know or do? I have tried by this method: https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:NVIDIA_drivers I have 2 installations on the machine, side by side. Tumbleweed and Leap 15. Both are new, clean installations. With both, I get the same symptoms. After installation, when I reboot, I get a 1024*768 desktop on the primary monitor only. I cannot run ``nvidia-settings'' because it says there's no xorg.conf file and I am to run ``nvidia-xconfig'' as root to create one. I do this and reboot. Result, blank screens, flashing text cursor, nothing else. Both distros behave identically. Both were fully updated prior to trying this. If I use Alt-F1 to switch to vconsole 0, I can log in, remove the nvidia packages, rename /etc/X11/xorg.conf to *.old or whatever, reboot, and nouveau works again, on both monitors. -- Liam Proven - Technical Writer, SUSE Linux s.r.o.

[opensuse-support] Google Earth requires unavailable mesa-libGLU
by Felix Miata 21 Nov '18

21 Nov '18

https://en.opensuse.org/index.php?title=Google_Earth&action=history shows GE OS wiki page last touched 23 months ago. Nothing on the page says anything about $SUBJECT. Is mesa-libGLU maybe hiding in (uninstalled) libGLESv1_CM1 or libGLESv2-2 or some other Mesa-lib* package? Mesa-libGL1 and Mesa-libglapi0 are installed. I wrote on https://en.opensuse.org/Talk:Google_Earth my experience trying to install GE on 15.0, both from repo dl-google.com and the Fedora/SUSE rpm downloaded from Google. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is religion, not science.

[opensuse-support] swap starts being filled after upgrading to snapshot 20181116 of openSUSE Tumbleweed
by H Zeng 19 Nov '18

19 Nov '18

Hello everyone, I have 24GB memory and 'vm.swappiness=1' enabled. But the swap space has been used, although only a little, lately after upgrading to snapshot 20181116 of openSUSE Tumbleweed. The swap was always empty before this. Does anyone know the reason? What should I do to avoid using swap unnecessarily? Here is the current memory usage, ``` cnzhx@ostp:~> free -m total used free shared buff/cache available Mem: 23986 8481 1662 4897 13841 10243 Swap: 2051 5 2046 ``` Best regards, ZHX -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-support] python2-certbot doesn't renew certificate

Since the packaging change from certbot to python2-certbot, it doesn't renew certificates for domains configured in /etc/certbot/renewal/ anymore. There is a file in /etc/certbot/renewal/mydomain.conf, but it seems to ignore it: >$ sudo certbot -vvv renew >Root logging level set at -10 >Saving debug log to /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log > >- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - > >No renewals were attempted. >- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - >no renewal failures contents of /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log >2018-11-09 10:23:59,144:DEBUG:certbot.main:certbot version: 0.27.1 >2018-11-09 10:23:59,144:DEBUG:certbot.main:Arguments: ['-vvv'] >2018-11-09 10:23:59,144:DEBUG:certbot.main:Discovered plugins: >PluginsRegistry(PluginEntryPoint#manual,PluginEntryPoint#null,PluginEntryPoint#standalone,PluginEntryPoint#webroot) >2018-11-09 10:23:59,160:DEBUG:certbot.log:Root logging level set at -10 >2018-11-09 10:23:59,161:INFO:certbot.log:Saving debug log to /var/log/ letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log >2018-11-09 10:23:59,162:DEBUG:certbot.renewal:no renewal failures What should I do?

[opensuse-support] Fillets NG broken for Leap 15.0 and Tumbleweed
by Vojtěch Zeisek 04 Nov '18

Hello, nice logic game Fillets NG is broken for Leap 51.0 and Tumbleweed: $ fillets main.cpp:117: ERROR init file not found; path='/usr/share/script/init.lua'; systemdir='/usr/share'; userdir='/home/vojta/.fillets-ng'; hint='try command line option "systemdir=path/to/data"' It will probably be some packaging issue or so, because of installation of version for Leap 42.3 (packages fillets-ng and fillets-ng-data; without any other change) fixes the problem: sudo zypper in -f http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/Leap:/ 42.3/standard/x86_64/fillets-ng-1.0.1-5.2.x86_64.rpm http:// download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/Leap:/42.3/standard/noarch/ fillets-ng-data-1.0.1-5.1.noarch.rpm Everything then works fine. -- Vojtěch Zeisek Komunita openSUSE GNU/Linuxu Community of the openSUSE GNU/Linux https://www.opensuse.org/ https://trapa.cz/
