[opensuse-support] Tumbleweed and KVM :"The libvirtd service does not appear to be installed ..."
by Peter McD 24 Oct '20

Hi, I'm trying to get an existing virtual machine running. The procedure worked in Leap 15.2 but I have no success with Tumbleweed. There are two error messages: with libvirt after: systemctl status libvirtd - "Failed to initialize libnetcontrol. Management of interface devices is disabled" and with the Virtual Machine Manager: - "The libvirtd service does not appear to be installed. Install and run the libvirtd service to manage virtualization on this host. A virtualization connection can be manually added via File->Add Connection" I documented what I did below Any advice?

[opensuse-support] Status of GIMP?
by Peter Suetterlin 23 Oct '20

23 Oct '20

Hi list, I just wanted to upgrade my TW laptop, which I had not done in a while, and noticed that this would remove gimp-plugins-python. Of course I canceled the upgrade. A GIMP without support for the python plugins is close to useless, at least for me. What do others in a similar situation do? Lock it and hope it survives like that until GIMP 3.0 comes out next decade? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-support] No protocol specified
by Marco Calistri 19 Oct '20

19 Oct '20

Hello, After one of the latest TW updates I noticed this message whenever I start some app from console: *No protocol Specified* Example: xclock No protocol specified The app is working normally but I would like to renove the warning message because it never appeared before! I googled but almost the topics are about remote X connection to local X server which is not my case. Thanks and regards, -- Marco Calistri Build: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20201014 Kernel: 5.8.14-1-default (Xfce 4.14) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-support] Missing icons in KDE/Plasma system tray after upgrade to Leap 15.2
by Till Dörges 19 Oct '20

19 Oct '20

Hi all, I just did a 'zypper dup' from openSUSE Leap 15.1 to 15.2. With 15.1 everything was working as expected. With 15.2 the system tray icons of several applications don't show in KDE/Plasma. For example: - amarok - clementine - pidgin - twinkle The behavior is the same for a freshly created user. I also tried deleting ~/.cache but to no avail. Generally icons are shown there (e.g. clipboard, network manager). The upgrade to Leap 15.2 itself went w/o problems. Searching the net didn't give me anything that seemed to apply to my scenario. Since the problem seems to affect Qt4 (clementine), Qt5 (Amarok) or GTK2 (pidgin) apps it looks like the problem is not related to s specific application. Is there anything that needs to be done to have systray icons in KDE/Plasma under Leap 15.2? TIA -- Till -- Dipl.-Inform.

[opensuse-support] 15.2, plymouth, and multiple LUKS partitions
by Ralph 18 Oct '20

18 Oct '20

Hello! Some strangeness in a fresh install of Leap 15.2 on a system with multiple LUKS partitions mounted at boot, all owning the same password. Normal boot and plymouth(?) displays a neon green text line on a blank background asking for the LUKS password for swap. After entering pw, plymouth(?) then displays three neon green blocks for several seconds. Remaining three LUKS partitions are invisibly mounted without further prompting and system boots into graphical mode. Boot with plymouth.enable=0 and I get the text display, as expected and usual in previous revs, but then I get prompted for passwords for all 4 partitions, even though they all have the same password. This used to be buffered and pw retried on additional partitions first before system would ask for any needed additional pw. Not now, apparently. What is happening here? No 'you must immediately delete plymouth from the system' suggestions, please ;) Ralph -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-support] Installing CUDA on TW
by Jogchum Reitsma 18 Oct '20

18 Oct '20

Hi, I'm on TW, snapshot 20201011-0, kernel 5.8.14-1-default #1 SMP Wed Oct 7 06:23:04 UTC 2020 (cea47bb) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux. Since I'm still on kernel 5.8.x, the licensing problems with 5.9.x don't appear here. I have added the nvidia repo for cuda., and did a zypper refresh. But if I want to install one of the offered cuda-versions, zypper reacts with Problem: cuda-11.1.0-1.x86_64 demands cuda-11-1 >= 11.1.0, but this demand cannot e fulfilled uninstallable providers: cuda-11-1-11.1.0-1.x86_64[cuda] Solution 1:the following actions are taken:: remove nvidia-computeG05-450.66-28.1.x86_64 remove nvidia-gfxG05-kmp-default-450.66_k5.8.0_1-28.1.x86_64 remove nvidia-glG05-450.66-28.1.x86_64 remove x11-video-nvidiaG05-450.66-28.1.x86_64 Solution 2: do not install cuda-11.1.0-1.x86_64 Solution 3: break cuda-11.1.0-1.x86_64 by ignoring some of it's dependencies (my own translations from Dutch). This if for cuda-11, but the other offered versions give the same result. Neither solution seems a good idea to me. Anyone here who knows how to install the cuda-drivers without breaking things? regards, Jogchum -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner(a)opensuse.org

See /etc/sddm.conf i tried to send this reply to the list but my mailer sylpheed sends it only to the OP regardless of what I select short of manual intervention (maybe the word list in that email address is confusing it) the file is empty, I'm only wondering because there ARE 2 gnomes, 2 and 3 and derivatives of gnome 2 (mate) and 3 (Cinamon?) just like threre is still KDE4 as well Yast isn't all that forthcoming either but 'gnome-version' the package says v-3 (for the benefit of anyone else googling for this info) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-support] ALL sound through JACK
by ksusup＠trixtar.org 17 Oct '20

17 Oct '20

During guitar sessions when I have JACK running I want ALL sound to route through JACK: assorted studioware, browser, VLC you name it. Other distros seem to have packages spec. built for this purpose but I don't see any for Suse (Leap-15.2 in this case). I "could" live with this setup being permanent but that is not necessary, I gotta have it for the sessions though.
