[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] cups-browsed dies - where to start looking?
by Peter Suetterlin 31 Jul '19

31 Jul '19

Hi list, just wanted to print from my laptop (don't do this too often). Its cups is supposed to connect to our local printserver, but didn't print. Checking the logs I find No destination host name supplied by cups-browsed for printer "samsung", is cups-browsed running? Hm, no, it's not. Restarting it doesn't help, so I check the error log Wed Jul 31 15:40:17 2019 main() in THREAD 140070619588288 Wed Jul 31 15:40:17 2019 cups-browsed: Creating http connection to local CUPS daemon: /var/run/cups/cups.sock:631 Wed Jul 31 15:40:17 2019 update_netifs() in THREAD 140070619588288 Wed Jul 31 15:40:17 2019 network interface lo: Local host name/address: 127.0.0.1 Wed Jul 31 15:40:17 2019 network interface lo: Local host name/address: localhost Wed Jul 31 15:40:17 2019 network interface eth0: Local host name/address: Wed Jul 31 15:40:17 2019 network interface eth0: Local host name/address: woodstock.xxx Wed Jul 31 15:40:17 2019 Network interface eth0 at xx.xx.xx.xx for legacy CUPS browsing/broadcasting Wed Jul 31 15:40:17 2019 cups-browsed [BrowsePoll /var/run/cups/cups.sock:0]: IPP-Create-Subscription Wed Jul 31 15:40:17 2019 cups-browsed [BrowsePoll /var/run/cups/cups.sock:0]: subscription ID=1530 Wed Jul 31 15:40:17 2019 cups-browsed (/var/run/cups/cups.sock): cupsEnumDests Wed Jul 31 15:40:17 2019 Could not determine system default printer!

Hi, I've updated yesterday and got video stuttering, everything else works fine, system doesn't hang, no errors in journal. With kernel 5.1.16 displaying doesn't stutter. Bug is present in TTY as well as in X (actually in TTY it even worse).

[opensuse-support] 15.1 upgrade weirdness (bug?)
by Ralph 25 Jul '19

25 Jul '19

[Leap 15.0, xfce] A week or so ago I started to upgrade a Leap 15.0 system to 15.1 from DVD but yast installer could not find my wifi dongle. No functioning ethernet wire on this machine. The kernel in 15.1 does not have the drivers for the dongle (nor does 15; I use a kernel from stable which does have the module). Since I am going to upgrade to bigger nvme hardware on this machine soon, and thus will have to do a fresh install on the new hardware anyway, I just simply aborted the current really unnecessary upgrade through the normal yast installer buttons. Today I noticed that the repositories were all messed up. The extra repositories which I had elected to keep and manually edited from 15.0 to 15.1 during the preliminary upgrade process were still there, now correctly returned to their 15.0 versions, but the standard opensuse repositories were completely gone (oss, non-oss, updates, the dvd). No 15.0 versions nor 15.1 versions. I've manually reinstalled the standard 15.0 repositories but it seems to me this might be a bug in yast installer if it doesn't automatically completely revert a properly aborted upgrade process to its original configuration. Yes, bug? Or is this simply a case of "don't do that (abort an upgrade) and you won't ever have this problem"?

[opensuse-support] Two IP addresses on one interface and martians
by Peter Suetterlin 25 Jul '19

25 Jul '19

Hi list, I wonder if one of the network gurus around here can give me some hints on an issue I'm seeing here: We have a normal, visible IP address range for our observatory network. As we also have lots of guests that want internet access, I prefer to have them in a separate subnet (192.168 class), but using the same infrastructure. For this, the central server has two IP addresses on its (bonded) interface, and unknown clients get (via dhcp) an address in the 192 subnet, with the servers 192 address as gateway, and its set up to do forwarding and masquerading for them. This works fine (AFAICT) However, the server log is full of martians (ARP requests) like this Jul 25 09:00:26 helios kernel: IPv4: martian source 192.168.13.51 from 192.168.13.1, on dev bond0 Jul 25 09:00:26 helios kernel: ll header: 00000000: ff ff ff ff ff ff 00 e0 81 24 72 bf 08 06 .........$r... 13.51 is one of those unknown clients, 13.1 is the secondary address of bond0 As I understand martians, they would be packets arriving on an interface that is not configured for that network. But I do have both the address and a routing entry for it, so I'm not really sure why it is regarding those as martian. Is something wrong in my setup? Are they only logged, or completely discarded? Can/should I just disable martian logging for this interface? Or are there better solutions? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-support] well supported usb wifi dongle ?
by Daniele 25 Jul '19

25 Jul '19

Hy guys, I need to move my router to another room so I have to switch my connection from cable to wifi. I don't want "small/nano dongle" (usually low range), I've found few models with good reviews but they need the rtl8822bu driver that is not in the kernel. Often all compatibility list are outdated. Any advices ? Thanks, Daniele. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-support] Akonadi fails to start after latest Tumbleweed update (snapshot 20190721)
by Rodney Baker 25 Jul '19

25 Jul '19

Hi all, Sending this from Thunderbird because my KMail/Akonadi install is non-functional after updating to Tumbleweed snapshot 20190721). Running akonadictl start --verbose produces the following output: org.kde.pim.akonadiserver: Found mysql_install_db: "/usr/bin/mysql_install_db" org.kde.pim.akonadiserver: Found mysqlcheck: "/usr/bin/mysqlcheck" org.kde.pim.akonadiserver: Using mysqld: "/usr/sbin/mysqld" org.kde.pim.akonadiserver: Database "akonadidb" opened using driver "QMYSQL" org.kde.pim.akonadiserver: Running DB initializer org.kde.pim.akonadiserver: checking table "SchemaVersionTable" org.kde.pim.akonadiserver: "ALTER TABLE SchemaVersionTable ADD COLUMN version INTEGER NOT NULL DEFAULT 0" org.kde.pim.akonadiserver: "\nSql error: Duplicate column name 'version' QMYSQL: Unable to execute query\nQuery: ALTER TABLE SchemaVersionTable ADD COLUMN version INTEGER NOT NULL DEFAULT 0" org.kde.pim.akonadiserver: Unable to initialize database. org.kde.pim.akonadiserver: terminating connection threads org.kde.pim.akonadiserver: terminating service threads org.kde.pim.akonadiserver: Shutting down "NotificationManager" ... org.kde.pim.akonadiserver: stopping db process org.kde.pim.akonadicontrol: Application '/usr/bin/akonadiserver' exited normally... I've tried dropping the column in question so akonadi can recreate it, but then it generates the same error for the second column in SchemaVersionTable. If I drop SchemaVersionTable from the database, it fails on the next table. It seems as though akonadi is now trying to initialise the database from scratch, when it should simply be using the existing database as-is. I have no idea what's caused this - nothing has changed apart from zypper dup to the latest snapshot. It was working prior to the upgrade, and stopped working after the reboot. Yes, I can login to MariaDB using the configured akonadi user/password, I can use the configured database, I can view the schema and the tables and I can select data from the tables. I can't find a configuration option anywhere that could be forcing akonadi to initialise the database from scratch, but I may be looking in the wrong places. Any suggestions welcome. If there's no quick fix, looks like a bug report on the way.

[opensuse-support] btrfs backup and reconstruction - to/from 2nd machine via ssh on Leap 15.1
by Sebastian M. Ernst 23 Jul '19

23 Jul '19

Hi all, I thought this was a pretty "standard scenario" - however, I failed to find reasonable tutorials or wikis about this subject. Please correct me if I am wrong. Idea: I have two machines, both running openSUSE Leap 15.1. Both use btrfs in openSUSE's standard configuration (except for /home, but this is beyond the scope of my question). I.e. there are subvolumes for /var, /usr/local, /tmp, /srv, /root, /opt, /boot/grub2/x86_64-efi and /boot/grub2/i386-pc. Both machines also run snapper, also in openSUSE's standard configuration. One machine is a workstation, the other is a data sink (i.e. a backup system or NAS). The backup system has plenty of unpartitioned and unformatted space available. The workstation is supposed to backup its subvolumes and snapshots (created by snapper) to the backup system. Right now, I do not care whether this is manual labor or a cron job - it's about principles. I am interested in how to configure both systems so that in the event of e.g. a disk failure in the workstation I am able to recover quickly and efficiently from my backups on the backup system. Just for fun, let's say in one scenario I want to recover to the exact same (wiped) harddrive in the workstation and in another scenario I want to recover to a new hard drive in the workstation. So far, I have not had a defect requiring such actions. And I surely do not want to provoke anything similar. However, I'd be very interested in going through the steps with two "live" virtual machines - all the way from system configuration, backup and "failure" to recovery. *Would someone here on this mailing list be willing to support this little experiment? I'd be more than happy to wrap the eventual findings into a readable wiki article / tutorial.* I have performed similar actions successfully with ZFS before (though not for root/system partitions). As far as ZFS is concerned, I am fairly certain about procedures and terminology. However, btrfs has slightly different interpretations of snapshots, subvolumes and mounting (configurations) and how (incremental) send/receive works on top of that. After studying various articles at btrfs.wiki.kernel.org I am admittedly left somewhat more confused than before.
