[opensuse-support] boot priority on (Intel) iMac
by Felix Miata 13 Jul '18

13 Jul '18

I installed 15.0 on a previously virgin HD, partitioning in advance, and directing openSUSE which partitions to use for what. Good so far. Then I installed Snow Leopard. It wrested boot away from 15.0, so I installed rEFInd on the OS X system partition. That worked as advertised with no fuss necessary, allowing selection among OS X, 15.0, shutdown, reboot, and more that I don't remember. Then I ran YaST2 bootloader to see what would happen. Sure enough, it: 1-usurped control from rEFInd, and 2-omitted OS X from among the Grub2 menu choices. There is no BIOS to change boot order on Mactel. What can be done to prevent openSUSE from stealing boot control from rEFInd? -- "Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom. Whatever else you get, get wisdom."

[opensuse-support] amd graphics card on laptop and slowness
by George from the tribe 12 Jul '18

12 Jul '18

So I have been using this Dell Inspiron 15 5576 (laptop #1 below) and have not been generally happy with its performance. Sluggish, sometimes freezes, can't suspend to ram, and a few other minor irritations. Should run really fast with the amount of memory it has. I found a thread indicating maybe a problem with the graphics card? So I looked up my specs on Dell, and this is supposedly the graphics card I have: AMD FX 9830P Quad-Core Processor with Radeon R7 Graphics However, here is what the hardware info detects: # hwinfo --gfxcard 09: PCI 01.0: 0300 VGA compatible controller (VGA) [Created at pci.378] Unique ID: vSkL.gwUVE8uFOP6 SysFS ID: /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0 SysFS BusID: 0000:00:01.0 Hardware Class: graphics card Model: "ATI Carrizo" Vendor: pci 0x1002 "ATI Technologies Inc" Device: pci 0x9874 "Carrizo" SubVendor: pci 0x1028 "Dell" SubDevice: pci 0x07e2 Revision: 0xcc Driver: "amdgpu" Driver Modules: "drm" Memory Range: 0xd0000000-0xdfffffff (ro,non-prefetchable) Memory Range: 0xf0800000-0xf0ffffff (ro,non-prefetchable) I/O Ports: 0xf000-0xf0ff (rw) Memory Range: 0xfea00000-0xfea3ffff (rw,non-prefetchable) Memory Range: 0xfea40000-0xfea5ffff (ro,non-prefetchable,disabled) IRQ: 228 (276509 events) Module Alias: "pci:v00001002d00009874sv00001028sd000007E2bc03sc00i00" Driver Info #0: Driver Status: amdgpu is active Driver Activation Cmd: "modprobe amdgpu" Config Status: cfg=no, avail=yes, need=no, active=unknown 32: PCI 300.0: 0380 Display controller [Created at pci.378] Unique ID: svHJ.+ug88O0PpPA Parent ID: w+J7.XZwpGIabNM5 SysFS ID: /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:03.1/0000:03:00.0 SysFS BusID: 0000:03:00.0 Hardware Class: graphics card Model: "ATI Baffin [Radeon RX 460]" Vendor: pci 0x1002 "ATI Technologies Inc" Device: pci 0x67ef "Baffin [Radeon RX 460]" SubVendor: pci 0x1028 "Dell" SubDevice: pci 0x07e2 Revision: 0xff Driver: "amdgpu" Driver Modules: "drm" Memory Range: 0xe0000000-0xefffffff (ro,non-prefetchable) Memory Range: 0xf0000000-0xf01fffff (ro,non-prefetchable) I/O Ports: 0xd000-0xdfff (rw) Memory Range: 0xfe800000-0xfe83ffff (rw,non-prefetchable) Memory Range: 0xfe840000-0xfe85ffff (ro,non-prefetchable) IRQ: 230 (55 events) Module Alias: "pci:v00001002d000067EFsv00001028sd000007E2bc03sc80i00" Driver Info #0: Driver Status: amdgpu is active Driver Activation Cmd: "modprobe amdgpu" Config Status: cfg=no, avail=yes, need=no, active=unknown Attached to: #15 (PCI bridge) Primary display adapter: #9 So it detects 2 controllers, is calling one of them an "ATI Carrizo" and the other one an "ATI Baffin [Radeon RX 460]". The Dell specs say it is Radeon R7 but opensuse is saying Radeon RX 460. Is this right? And also, is the amdgpu driver sufficient? I found this thread in the forums https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/528306-amdgpu-pro-driver-issue that seems to indicate I need to download the new amdgpu-pro driver. So I downloaded the driver from here https://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/AMDGPU-PRO-Driver-for-Linux… but I haven't installed it yet. Am I on the right path here? -- George Box: 42.3 | KDE Plasma 5.8 | AMD Phenom IIX4 | 64 | 32GB Laptop #1: 42.3 | KDE Plasma 5.8 | AMD FX 7TH GEN | 64 | 32GB Laptop #2: 42.3 | KDE Plasma 5.8 | Core i5 | 64 | 8GB -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-support] Just how crippled is 15.0 DVD rescue boot known to be?
by Felix Miata 12 Jul '18

12 Jul '18

I selected rescue from DVD boot to try to fix a corrupted EFI configuration after installing OS X added another EFI system partition, which along with the rest of installed OS X partitions I deleted, then recreated to my specifications. I expected a GUI, but didn't get one. I used efibootmgr to reaffirm that openSUSE is first in list, but Mac BIOS apparently ignores it. I tried to fix it with YaST2 from another rescue boot, but apparently YaST2 isn't on the 15.0 DVD. So I rebooted again but selected boot from HD. That fails with "error: no such device: /dev/boot/fallback.efi." So I rebooted again, this time typing in a complete Grub stanza from scratch, but it produced "error: can't find command 'load_video'; error: can't find command 'linux'; can't find command 'initrd'". I tried again but with linuxefi and initrdefi. After stumbling over can't find load_video again it proceeded to boot. What's the secret on a UEFI system to "repair" the bootloader or boot the installed system, boot a 42.3 DVD? |ID |ux|Dr|Type, description|Format |Related |VolumeLabel|OS2-LVM/BM / GPT / Crypt / additional in| Size MiB | +--</dev/sda MBR disk 1>--------+--------+-----------<ST1000DM003-1SB1>-----------------------+-----------+ |01 | 1| |Prim ee GPT-guard|Prot-MBR|GPT/EFI | | 74706daf | 953869.7| |02 | 1| |Windows BasicData|FAT16 |mkfs.fat|ST10-ESP |sda1 EFI System (ESP) | 368.0| |03 | 2| |Mac OS X HFS+ |unknown |macOS | |sda2 Mac OS X HFS+ system | 36750.0| |04 | 3| |Mac OS X HFS+ |unknown |macOS | |sda3 Mac OS X HFS+ data | 440000.0| |05 | 4| |Linux Swap |SWAP |LinuxV1 |SWAPSPACE2 |sda4 Linux Swap | 4224.0| |06 | 5| |Linux Data |EXT4 |Linux |st10suselea|sda5 openSUSE Leap | 32526.0| |07 | 6| |Linux Data |XFS |Linux | |sda6 Linux /home | 440000.0| |08 | | |Fsp + GPT pta/hdr|-- -- --|-- -- --|- - - - - -|Size 0x58f sectors | 0.695| # parted -l Model: ATA ST1000DM003-1SB1 (scsi) Disk /dev/sda: 1000GB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/4096B Partition Table: gpt Disk Flags: Number Start End Size File system Name Flags 1 1049kB 387MB 386MB fat32 sda1 EFI System (ESP) boot, hidden, esp 2 387MB 38.9GB 38.5GB sda2 Mac OS X HFS+ system 3 38.9GB 500GB 461GB sda3 Mac OS X HFS+ data 4 500GB 505GB 4429MB linux-swap(v1) sda4 Linux Swap swap 5 505GB 539GB 34.1GB ext4 sda5 openSUSE Leap 6 539GB 1000GB 461GB xfs sda6 Linux /home On boot with manually typed grub stanza I changed the Grub timeout in YaST2, which inexplicably created a new initrd identical to the existing one, but did fix HD booting at least until I install OS X again.

[opensuse-support] Invalid password file /run/systemd/ask-password/ask.Kilegy
by Ralph 09 Jul '18

09 Jul '18

[Leap 15 / btrfs, fresh install about a month old, running off a NVMe m.2 2280, on a Dell T3620 that was previously booting (and still multiboots) 42.3 and some others off a rotating drive] After an aborted boot and a reboot I got the following messages in the reboot's journal: dellT3620 systemd-tty-ask-password-agent[866]: Invalid password file /run/systemd/ask-password/ask.Kilegy dellT3620 systemd-tty-ask-password-agent[866]: Failed to show password: Bad message These journal messages are gone after another subsequent reboot but that's scary words. Who/what is 'Kilegy' (there's no such file, now)? What exactly is/was this all about? Thanks!

[opensuse-support] zypper update failed after power outage

[opensuse-support] firewalld nfs libreoffice

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, i changed my tumbleweed from susefirewall2 to firewalld problem now: nfs works when i use midnight commander to browse or copy files. nfs did NOT work if i like to open a file on a nfs directory with libreoffice. libreoffice completely stops response. when i stop firewwalld it starts to react again. so i guess some "magic" port must additionally opened (what was before automatically opened in susefirewall2) ================ my setup: i have serveral tumbleweed (and older opensuse) systems, using nfs as host and client to be able to go from every computer to every other (all only ipv4 systems, ipv6 disabled, static addresses). was working fine with tumbleweed and susefirewall2 in yast2 firewalld assigned to my network bridge and adapter "home" and opened/set up for for "home": mdns (no idea what it is for, it was open) 5353 udp mountd (without this nfs not working) 20048 tcp 20048 udp nfs3 (without this nfs not working) 2049 tcp 2049 udp rpc-bind (without this nfs not working) 111 tcp 111 udp samba (beause i later on need also a samba server running) 139 udp+tcp 445 udp+tcp (did i need other things to open???
