[opensuse-support] Cannot complete registration with openSUSEforums
by JigsTheorem 13 Jun '20

13 Jun '20

Hi all I have a problem with Leap 15.1 and went to sign up with openSUSE forums. I received a validation email, which contained neatly ordered garbage but no validation code. The sender of this email is the webmaster from microfocus, but an email to that address just bounces. I have since discovered that openSUSE and microfocus are no longer associated. So, given that the validation process is broken, how do I get signed up to the forums?

[opensuse-support] LEAP 15.1 installation & config
by David T-G 01 Dec '19

01 Dec '19

Hi again, all -- I've played with a few installs of 15.1 and am a bit confused. I'm using the network installer and in both cases have added Main Repository Non-OSS Repository Main Repository Update Non-OSS Repository Update and otherwise just enjoyed the defaults. My first pass was Desktop with KDE and my second was Server but both seem lacking. I was surprised that the installer didn't ask me in any case to set the host name; I ended up with linux-xxxx for some semi-random string of 4 chars, so I had to manually set the name. The real surprise, though, was that ifconfig netstat and who knows what else weren't installed! Um, what did I miss? A GUI installer like this should be simple enough even for a dummy like me to manage to get a good system build :-) I'm going to want a KDE-based desktop with the typical userspace browser and other such, and I'll need NFS client & server services as well as of course sshd. It's eventually going to get a fixed IP but I don't care too much right now either way. I don't expect to run a web server, but the usual SA's bag of scripting languages will be useful. Are there patterns to select to make sure I have all of that, or do I have to drag my way through a zillion packages in YaST to find what I want?

[opensuse-support] /usr/lib/at-spi2/at-spi2-registryd - Extremely high CPU consuming!
by Marco Calistri 03 Nov '19

03 Nov '19

Hello, Recently I noticed an extremely high CPU load with consequent abnormal CPU heating and then I discovered that the cause was /usr/lib/at-spi2/at-spi2-registryd attempting to execute an infinite series of tasks which were failing one after the other. Attempting to uninstall the at-spi2-core was not possible due the fact of hundreds of packages dependencies belong on this single package (reason not understandable by me). To workaround the issue I done: 1 - sudo chmod ugo-x /usr/lib/at-spi2/at-spi2-registryd 2 - sudo rm /usr/share/dbus-1/accessibility-services/org.a11y.atspi.Registry.service Thanks for your attention.

[opensuse-support] SMPlayer doens't work properly with last mpv update
by Mykola Krachkovsky 31 Oct '19

31 Oct '19

Hi, I've created bugreport for SMPlayer with last mpv update (0.30.0+git. 1572040975.a908101258-37.1). SMPlayer has no video control (timeline, play, stop, volume level — are disabled). Reverting to the previous mpv (0.30.0+git. 1571393471.acba87e53f-36.2) solves the problem for me.

[opensuse-support] mounting USB content automagically
by David T-G 30 Oct '19

30 Oct '19

Hi, all -- I was somewhat disappointed to try a test run on my new LEAP 15.1 system and see then I still have to go to the system tray and select an activity, such as opening with a File Manager, when I pop a card reader into a port. Is there a way to have OpenSuSE just happily mount the volume at /run/media/<user>/<volname> (or wherever) without requiring GUI interaction? I'd even accept needing a direct mount command a la Debian/KNOPPIX as long as it doesn't need root or manual pre-editing of the fstab file...

[opensuse-support] data moving tuning
by David T-G 30 Oct '19

30 Oct '19

Hi, all -- I am building a system for fast transfer of video files from MicroSD cards, and I am looking for tunables advice. It will also be my everyday desktop, since I can't afford two machines, but its primary mission is to move data fast. My plan is to use 15.1 and, without starting another religious war :-) and after the convenient recent file system discussion, leave my beloved ReiserFS to use XFS for the large data partition. The box has a single Ryzen CPU, an m.2 SSD, 16G of RAM that I will bump to 32G as soon as funding permits, 10 gigabit motherboard USB, and a second 10 gigabit USB daughter card. I'm limited to this hardware by budget, so there isn't much else that I can do there, but I wonder about parameters and settings in the OS or perhaps the file system config. Are there any knobs to turn to speed moving data across the bus? Is there a better version or even -- gasp -- a better flavor for this kind of work? Any suggestions in general?

[opensuse-support] Problem with sending email via gmail from postfix on Tumbleweed
by Freek de Kruijf 29 Oct '19

29 Oct '19

Since a few days, apparently after an upgrade, postfix tries to send messages to smtp.gmail.com:587 (SASL authentication failed; cannot authenticate to server smtp.gmail.com[2a00:1450:400c:c0a::6d]: invalid parameter supplied). I have a file /etc/postfix/sender_dependent_relayhost in which messages I send with my gmail account are referred to this server. I also have a /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd file with this server and associated username and password. This used to work quite well a few days ago. I searched the internet for solutions, but found none. Any suggestions. -- fr.gr. member openSUSE Freek de Kruijf -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-support] Re: [opensuse-factory] Tumbleweed: NetworkManager does not run script on shutdown
