[opensuse-support] apps piling up in panel
by Doug McGarrett 23 Jan '21

23 Jan '21

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

tumbleeweed 20201218 install - Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX 200 not detected
by Matthew 05 Jan '21

05 Jan '21

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: [ 1544.250127] Intel(R) Wireless WiFi driver for Linux [ 1544.259285] iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: Direct firmware load for iwlwifi-cc-a0-56.ucode failed with error -2 [ 1544.259308] iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: Direct firmware load for iwlwifi-cc-a0-55.ucode failed with error -2 [ 1544.259325] iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: Direct firmware load for iwlwifi-cc-a0-54.ucode failed with error -2 [ 1544.259342] iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: Direct firmware load for iwlwifi-cc-a0-53.ucode failed with error -2 [ 1544.259357] iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: Direct firmware load for iwlwifi-cc-a0-52.ucode failed with error -2 [ 1544.259374] iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: Direct firmware load for iwlwifi-cc-a0-51.ucode failed with error -2 [ 1544.259390] iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: Direct firmware load for iwlwifi-cc-a0-50.ucode failed with error -2 [ 1544.259406] iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: Direct firmware load for iwlwifi-cc-a0-49.ucode failed with error -2 [ 1544.259422] iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: Direct firmware load for iwlwifi-cc-a0-48.ucode failed with error -2 [ 1544.259439] iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: Direct firmware load for iwlwifi-cc-a0-47.ucode failed with error -2 [ 1544.259456] iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: Direct firmware load for iwlwifi-cc-a0-46.ucode failed with error -2 [ 1544.259472] iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: Direct firmware load for iwlwifi-cc-a0-45.ucode failed with error -2 [ 1544.259489] iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: Direct firmware load for iwlwifi-cc-a0-44.ucode failed with error -2 [ 1544.259510] iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: Direct firmware load for iwlwifi-cc-a0-43.ucode failed with error -2 [ 1544.259528] iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: Direct firmware load for iwlwifi-cc-a0-42.ucode failed with error -2 [ 1544.259545] iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: Direct firmware load for iwlwifi-cc-a0-41.ucode failed with error -2 [ 1544.259561] iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: Direct firmware load for iwlwifi-cc-a0-40.ucode failed with error -2 [ 1544.259574] iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: Direct firmware load for iwlwifi-cc-a0-39.ucode failed with error -2 [ 1544.259575] iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: no suitable firmware found!

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

cron job signatures script
by Marco Calistri 19 Dec '20

19 Dec '20

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

What exactly governs the Leap network stack when using network manager?
by Stakanov 19 Dec '20

19 Dec '20

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 <gp(a)suse.com>, etc) 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 servers. I attach their response to my complain.

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
