[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? Regards JT -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: … [View More]

[opensuse-support] Upgrade apache2-mod_php7 halts zypper on TW
by Jogchum Reitsma 14 Apr '20

14 Apr '20

Hi, For some time now when upgrading TW (which I do regularly using zypper dup --no-allow-vendor-change) when it comes to apache2-mod_php7, zypper halts. That is, it ends with the 100% installed message, and than it stops. I have to "kill -9" it to free the terminal, and have to start zypper anew. Anyone any idea whit might cause that? cheers, Jogchum -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-support] bond interface slow on tumbleweed
by Peter Furgala 03 Feb '20

03 Feb '20

Hello, after clean fresh install of tumbleweed my bond-interface (4x1Gb Intel 82576) performs only about 60MB/s. All interfaces are up with the correct speed, no errors shown, all 4 IFs show packets with correct size, balacing mode is set correctly. Same config with Leap 15.1 made about 260MB/s. At the moment I operate with only one of the four interfaces up and get about 116MB/S what everyone would expect. Someone any idea ? best Peter -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+… [View More]

Hello support list, having some test machine used less frequently, but pretty stable. Not messing with packages or messing stuff up.

[opensuse-support] Leap 15.1: root full on boot, plenty of space a few minutes later
by mh＠mike.franken.de 27 Jan '20

27 Jan '20

Hi *, after the latest update for one of my openSUSE Leap 15.1 machines I ran into a peculiar problem: On the first boot after updating the machine lots of services didn't start and the logs told me the root partition was full. While trying to find out, why that might be, all of a sudden there were 30 gigs avalaible - without having done anything on my side. So I decided to reboot the machine again. This time all services started, but only 7 gigs were available. I waited a few minutes and … [View More]

[opensuse-support] Issue reading audio-cd
by Axel Braun 26 Jan '20

Hi, I have some trouble ripping an audio CD (Yes, I own it) with k3b on TW 20200123. k3b expects a CD to be entered, but according to the log (attached) it does not detect any (obvious). *Before that* I tried playing it with DragonPlayer, which worked for some minutes before it got stuck reading (I had cleaned the lens) Same issue with a different device and Leap 15.1 CD plays nicely on an audio CD player Any ideas what to try?

[opensuse-support] Alternative Python Builds on OpenSuse failing, how best to report?
by Glen 22 Jan '20

22 Jan '20

All - Today I ran up against an issue with Python's "make altinstall" option on OpenSuse, which is that using the documented configure; make; make altinstall results in binaries that will not run without some corrective linking post-install. The issue anecdotally appears to be limited to Suse. BACKGROUND: 1. Building python from source (configure; make) completes as expected. 2. Python provides an alternative install makefile target "altinstall" which is designed to install Python in /usr/… [View More]local in such a way that it does not interfere with other (existing) Python installations anywhere on the system. This install target seems to work as well. 3. However, trying to run the binaries installed by make altinstall results in failure messages: > /usr/local/bin/python3.8 Could not find platform dependent libraries <exec_prefix> Consider setting $PYTHONHOME to <prefix>[:<exec_prefix>] Python 3.8.1 (default, Jan 21 2020, 17:09:11) [GCC 7.4.1 20190905 [gcc-7-branch revision 275407]] on linux Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. Traceback (most recent call last): File "/etc/pythonstart", line 7, in <module> import readline ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'readline' >>> > /usr/local/bin/pip3.8 Could not find platform dependent libraries <exec_prefix> Consider setting $PYTHONHOME to <prefix>[:<exec_prefix>] Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/bin/pip3.8", line 6, in <module> from pip._internal import main File "/usr/local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/pip/_internal/__init__.py", line 19, in <module> from pip._vendor.urllib3.exceptions import DependencyWarning File "/usr/local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/pip/_vendor/urllib3/__init__.py", line 7, in <module> from .connectionpool import ( File "/usr/local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/pip/_vendor/urllib3/connectionpool.py", line 7, in <module> from socket import error as SocketError, timeout as SocketTimeout File "/usr/local/lib/python3.8/socket.py", line 49, in <module> import _socket ModuleNotFoundError: No module named '_socket' 4. Obvious things like ldconfig have no effect. However, there is an ln -s command that can resolve this issue: ln -s /usr/local/lib64/python3.8/lib-dynload /usr/local/lib/python3.8/lib-dynload After running that command, the above two binaries at least seem to run without error. In the process of Googling to find that solution, I discovered that this problem is limited to (or has only been reported on) OpenSuse. I have duplicated it on clean installs of 42.3, 15.0 and 15.1 so far. I haven't tried SLES or TW, but I'm guessing if we have the problem, they probably do too. OBSERVATIONS: 1. It seems to me that this works for all other distros except ours, so maybe this is an OpenSuse problem? -but- 2. It seems to me that Python should detect whatever is causing this and add that command to its make altinstall target so that we don't have to go through this... so maybe Python should fix this? -and- 3. Make is building 64 bit binaries here, so by convention we should be looking in /usr/local/lib64 anyway, so why are we looking in /usr/local/lib for libraries instead? I have no idea whose problem that might be. It seems to be a PYTHONPATH variable being set in the makefile, but,a again, if that's the problem, why does it seem to work (s/work/not be reported/) for other distros? QUESTION: Whose problem is this? Should I report it to Python? I can't imagine they'd care, wouldn't they just blame OpenSuse? Should I bug report it to OpenSuse? Just live with it? Or am I missing something obvious that I should have known all along? This is a problem that's clearly existed for a while, others have run into it with previous versions of Python and OpenSuse (cf. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/51201459/python-3-7-install-not-working… et al) - it still exists with Python 3.8.1 on OpenSuse 15.1... and everyone says "Put in the symlinks and be content." But it seems to me that - someone - should be made aware of this with an eye to generating a more robust fix than Google? So what is the "right thing" to do here? P.S. I am aware that OBS has experimental installable packages. But for me, that's off point here. What I am trying to do here is not so much get a fix for myself - I can symlink just fine - but rather trying to get the underlying *cause* of this issue fixed at the core, so that future OpenSuse users don't have to deal with it. Trying to "do the right thing", if possible, for the OpenSuse community. Thank you all for any clue bats you'd be willing to smash over my head.

Apologies for excluding the list in my earlier reply - Android ate the list address. The way I understand the Linux BT behavior - it is changing between low quality (3kHz) headset and "better" quality headphone profiles. That is why it sounds pretty bad once you enable headset mode. I personally find BT playback sound quality bad even in Android/windows. To my ears, it is good audio tape versus CD quality difference. I am not able to offer better advice/solution - So, I just avoid BT … [View More]altogether and prefer wired connection for both quality and simplicity as well as privacy.
