Two or three times recently--as recent as this afternoon--a whole batch
of apps, the icons
of which live in the panel, or systray, have piled up at the left-hand
side. They don't overlap,
but they are all to directly the right of the normal (what I consider
normal) icons, which are the
smiling ball, desktop1, system settings, YaST, Konsole terminal, and
Kate. All the other
icons --15, plus the time/date, have moved to the left. What is causing
this, and how can
I make it stop? (I have moved them back a couple of times, but they no
longer stay put.)
System is OS-TW, up to date as per 1114. (I think it also occurred
before this update.)
Thanx for any insight--doug
Ran the latest update this afternoon. Said there was a dependency
problem with Google Earth, so I said to skip it, or whatever the wording is.
Naturally, it did not work anymore. Sent icon to trash. Trying to install
the file that the net says is current for
OpenSuse--google-earth-stable_current_x86_64.rpm
directory listing says:
-rw-r--r-- 1 doug users 74323405 Dec 27 16:10
google-earth-pro-stable-7.3.3.x86_64(2).rpm
Install attempt says:
linux1:~ # rpm -Uvh google-earth-pro-stable-7.3.3.x86_64\(2\).rpm
error: open of google-earth-pro-stable-7.3.3.x86_64(2).rpm failed: No
such file or directory
Now what?
Thanx for any assistance--doug
Hello,
I'm trying a bare metal install of Tumbleweed (snapshot 20021218...but I've had the same result with several predecessor snapshots) on an HP Envy x360 (15z-ds100) with the "Intel Wi-FI 6 AX 200 (2x2) and Bluetooth 5 combo." When I get to the "Network Settings" page, no hardware is detected.
I could install without networking and tackle the issue later, but thought I'd seek advice here first (maybe there's a fix that will help others in the future).
My troubleshooting thus far (which may or may not be helpful) consists of switching over to a terminal (ctrl+alt F1), removing the iwlwifi module ("rmmod iwlwifi") and adding it back via "modprobe iwlwifi". That last command produces the following output:

I've attempted to copy additional firmware into /lib/firmware, but that location is read-only (and not easily made read+write from my experiments).
Should I just proceed with the install and address the network issue later (it may not even be there after install) or is there more troubleshooting you can suggest (or other options). FYI, I don't have a USB-to-RJ45 adapter at the moment, so I can't use wired networking.
Thank you!
Matthew
Dear Opensuse Support,
I'm concerned about some issues I've encountered while using Opensuse Tumbleweed. Is that something you can help me with?
Kind regards,
Kwame Boateng
Hello,
(Note: This is a generic Linux/Unix question not specifically related to
Opensuse)
Here a weird fact I face running a cron job from /etc/cron.hourly which
it looks to trim away the final part of the text I aim to get.
Below is the signature generated by script I add into the cron job:
--
Marco Calistri
Build: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20201216
Kernel: 5.9.14-1-default
Desktop:
Whereas here at the bottom the same script result if I run it from my
console:
--
Marco Calistri
Build: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20201216
Kernel: 5.9.14-1-default
Desktop: (Xfce 4.14) <----------------As you can see the script ran
by the cron job it is missing this part.
I suppose it could be caused by some variables settings which are
different from my user environment and the ones used by the cron user.
This is the script I use:
#!/bin/sh
echo "Marco Calistri" >
/home/marco/.thunderbird/cy71896h.Marco/signatures/os-release.txt
echo "Build: $(head -n 1 /etc/issue|awk -F'to' '{print $2}'|awk -F'-'
'{print $1}')" >>
/home/marco/.thunderbird/cy71896h.Marco/signatures/os-release.txt
echo "Kernel: $(uname -r)" >>
/home/marco/.thunderbird/cy71896h.Marco/signatures/os-release.txt
echo "Desktop:$(xfce4-session --version |awk -F'xfce4-session' '{print
$2}'|awk -F'2' '{print $2}')" >>
/home/marco/.thunderbird/cy71896h.Marco/signatures/os-release.txt
echo -ne "\n" >>
/home/marco/.thunderbird/cy71896h.Marco/signatures/os-release.txt
Thanks for any eventual suggestion you could provide to me.
Regards,
Marco
I installed time ago unbound.
After having done some adjustment (the dns resolution would be disturbed by
settings of "automatic" in /etc/sysconfig "DNS Policy" (which i did set to "",
and since then the "outages" I experience with unbound were gone) all was
fine.
Still rarely(!) it happens that something that seems "unrelated" to unbound
"crashes". No error in unbound log, clean connection with the wlan, but no
name resolution. A complete system restart does help. Only restarting unbound
as service does not.
So something that is in the middle between unbound and network does not
function as it should (or at least I do not know how to restart it when it
blocks).
Normally I did sudo rcnetwork restart and that would restart the network. Now
it appears that, although the network is restarted, the problem is not solved.
Not even restarting unbound and rcnetwork.
So what do I have to restart, some systemd thing?
Last question:
For what is /etc/sysconfig/"netconfig modules", with unbound, what should I
insert there in yast, edit /etc/sysconfig as value for unbound? I guess:
dns-resolver -dns-bind -dns-dnsmasq nis ntp-runtime
(should do) but do I also "-" dns-resolver so all is done by unbound? or does
the dns-resolver relies on unbound?
What is the value to be set for unbound module: dns-unbound? (if anybody
knows). Currently it is simply started by system services at startup, so maybe
no extra value for it in etc/sysconfig is needed at all?
Thanks in advance.
I just tried to look up some packages, as user. It failed because it wanted
to refresh the repos, and of course didn't have write permission.
Why this change? I've switched off autorefresh *on purpose*.
Hello,
all my outbound emails to <listname>@lists.opensuse.org and certain
inbound emails
(the last ones are from Dan Čermák <dcermak(a)suse.com>, Gerald Pfeifer

end up flagged as spam by my mail provider (libero.it).
On my side I've set no filter and blocked nobody.
Libero claims responsible for the wrong flagging being the opensuse's

I attach their response to my complain.
Please check it and let me know.

Hello guys, on TW, since kernel 5.9.* I see the error:
msr: Write to unrecognized MSR 0x17f by mcelog
Please report to x86(a)kernel.org
I'm not the only one with this kind of error, it happens with different
address and different application to other people. So, it should be a
known issue..
Thanks,
Daniele
