[opensuse-support] yesterday's update changed xterm font size
by Patrick Shanahan 21 Sep '18

21 Sep '18

did an update yesterday and rec'd new kernel, kernel-default-4.17.14-1.2.x86_64, and about 300 other packages. rebooted for new kernel and now opening xterm provides a large font (unwanted). <ctrl><rt-click> on <medium> provides original font. what changed that may have caused this? If needed I can provide a list of the updated packages. tks -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-support] Tumbleweed: repository signature verification started failing for private repo
by Robert Munteanu 06 Sep '18

06 Sep '18

Hi, For some time I've been using a private repo for various programs I've repackaged. It's a very simple setup based on createrepo. Now my TW machine refuses to use this repo, complaining that File 'repomd.xml' from repository 'lmn_private' is signed with an unknown key '.....' I've done the following checks: 1. Downloaded $REPO/repodata/repomd.xml 2. Downloaded $REPO/repodata/repomd.xml.asc 3. Ran gpg --verify repomd.xml.asc repomd.xml The output matches the key reported by zypper. 4. Verified that the key is known to rpm using rpm -qi gpg-pubkey-...-..... The body of the key known to RPM and the public key used to sign the packages are identical. The verification fails on my TW machine, with zypper-1.14.5-1.1.x86_64 libzypp-17.3.1-1.1.x86_64 But works on a Leap 42.3 server with zypper-1.13.32-5.12.1.x86_64 libzypp-16.15.6-5.12.1.x86_64 I'm not sure where to go next from here, what else can I try?

[opensuse-support] LEAP 15.0 - logging amavis
by mh＠mike.franken.de 30 Aug '18

30 Aug '18

Hi *, starting with openSUSE Leap 15.0 I got a problem with logging from the amavis daemon. Before 15.0 amavis logged to /var/spool/amavis/amavis.log, which was rotated once a day. With 15.0 amavis only logs to syslog despite the configuration setting "$do_syslog = 0;" in /etc/amavis.conf. After modifying the amavis.service file and commenting out "StandardOutput=syslog" I got no logging at all. Because amavis is logging a lot I don't want my syslog/journal get flooded, but I want at least a log file to see what is going on. Any idea? Thx and bye.

I doubt the problem here has anything to do with /etc/alternatives. I have other TW/KDE3 installations that work as expected. On the failing one I had this already: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 33 Dec 4 2017 default-displaymanager -> /usr/lib/X11/displaymanagers/kdm3 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 37 Jun 16 22:37 default-xsession.desktop -> ../../usr/share/xsessions/kde.desktop I redid the latter to be a normal symlink instead of relative, but it changed nothing. Startx fails to start icewm, which coredumps as well, so apparently this isn't just a KDE3 problem. Doesn't look like kernel either, as same failure whether 4.18.0, 4.17.14, 4.16.12 or 4.15.13. :-( -- "Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom. Whatever else you get, get wisdom."

[opensuse-support] Tumbleweed sensors-detect >> no driver for ITE IT8655E Super IO Sensors yet
by Peter McD 19 Aug '18

19 Aug '18

Hi, Tonight I ran sensors-detect in Tumbleweed, updated as it comes. GKrell shows only one k10temp and one cpu-fan for my motherboard. Data: # sensors-detect revision $Revision$ # Board: ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. PRIME B350-PLUS # Kernel: 4.17.14-1-default x86_64 # Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 1700 Eight-Core Processor (23/1/1) Error message: "Note: there is no driver for ITE IT8655E Super IO Sensors yet. Check http://www.lm-sensors.org/wiki/Devices for updates. No modules to load, skipping modules configuration. Unloading i2c-dev... OK Unloading cpuid... OK" It seem that one driver is missing. A bit googling pointed to a solution with kernel 4.15. (Gentoo -forum https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-8180344.html Any solution for Tumbleweed, present kernel? cu Peter -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-support] Evolution only offers 'fi' for spell checking
by Robert Munteanu 16 Aug '18

Hi, Using an up-to-date TW install, I noticed that evolution no longer underlines misspelt words. The message view menu Edit → Current Languages only shows "Unknown (fi)". I would like English spell checking, what am I missing?

[opensuse-support] grub2-i386-pc required on UEFI installations
by Felix Miata 10 Aug '18

Anyone know why? Just curious. Attempting to reduce unneeded cruft, zypper rm grub2-i386-pc wants to remove all of grub. rpm -qi grub2-i386-pc sheds no light, saying "subpackage provides support for pc systems". -- "Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom.

[opensuse-support] Adding a new NIC
by huw 06 Aug '18

06 Aug '18

Hi everyone I have recently started dual booting with Windows 7 and encountered a nasty bug with the Windows driver for my PC's integrated NIC (Realtek) that is making dual booting an even bigger headache than it already is. After exhausting the solutions I found online, I've decided to just order a new NIC and plug it into a spare PCI slot. The new NIC is made by TP LINK. Am I being hopelessly optimistic to assume that when it's plugged in and my ethernet cable connected to it, it will be automatically detected and configured? If not, what do I need to do to use the new NIC? I am running Tumbleweed and the Plasma desktop. Many thanks in advance. Kind regards, Huw
