[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] 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] cannot get updates
by mike 27 Feb '20

27 Feb '20

Hi, OK I don't know what happened but I cannot get a repository connection with zypper. I dropped my tv plan with xfinity and kept internet. Everything works like mail, web pages etc. However zypper claims it can't get a connection. The only clue is the system says locked by pid 3740 /usr/bin/ruby.ruby2.6 any help would be appreciated.......thanks, mike -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-support] riot-web
by Felix Miata 25 Feb '20

25 Feb '20

[WHY?: because moznet IRC is shutting down; luckily, freenode still works] >From https://software.opensuse.org/package/riot-web : "riot-web A glossy Matrix collaboration client for the web Riot (formerly known as Vector) is a Matrix web client built using the Matrix React SDK." I installed it from darix home, but: > man riot-web No manual entry for riot-web > which riot-web which: no riot-web in (/opt/kde3/bin:/home/me/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/home/me/bin) Search box in menu starter turns up nothing. So I loaded https://riot.im/app/, but it invisibly claims: "Sorry, your browser is not able to run Riot.

With your current browser, the look and feel of the application may be completely incorrect, and some or all features may not function.

I opened https://riot.im/ in another browser, but I don't see a connection between it and the installed riot-web package. Google doesn't seem to want to provide a link to useful instructions for using riot-web. What's the secret? -- Evolution as taught in public schools is religion, not science. Team OS/2 ** Reg.

[opensuse-support] chrome based browsers - tabs crashing
by Ianseeks 23 Feb '20

23 Feb '20

Hi Since the last TW update, its impossible to use any browser that is chrome based, the tabs crash regularly, it doesn't seem to matter what website you are visiting. The tab will have either crashed before you visit it or during activity on the website. Firefox seems fine.

[opensuse-support] How/where to volunteer for opensuse documentation
by tomas.kuchta.lists＠gmail.com 18 Feb '20

18 Feb '20

Hi, Can someone point me to how/where to volunteer for documentation? I apologize if this list is not the place for my question - I would be happy to resubmit the question elsewhere. I was browsing the recent openSuSE news over the weekend and somewhere/someone (I cannot remember where/who) - mentioned it as number one priority/deficiency for the project. After sleeping on it, maybe I could help. Thanks, Tomas -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-support] Optimus (nvidia) and bumblebee (or primus?)
by Peter Suetterlin 18 Feb '20

18 Feb '20

Hi list, I wonder if some here use Optimus laptops and can share some input. I do, and use bumblebee, because all I need it for is some single applications. suse-prime, which requires logging out and in, is therefore way too much overhead. I've read that newer prime versions do also support prime-run using render offload with nvidia drivers newer than some 435.xx But checking the opensuse pages on prime nothing of that is mentioned, and 'cnf prime-run' doesn't give any matches. So it seems I'm stuck with bumblebee (which I don't have an issue with). However, now there's kernel 5.5 (I run Tumbleweed). And the current version of bumblebee uses nvidia 418.113, which won't compile against 5.5 :( Naive as I am :o, I just pulled the RPM source for the kernel modules, changed the spec file to use 440.59 instead, and generated my own package for nvidia-bumblebee. It does install and compile the kernel modules without error. I can load them, also w/o error. BUT: It doesn't work :( woodstock:~ # systemctl status bumblebeed.service ● bumblebeed.service - Bumblebee C Daemon Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/bumblebeed.service; disabled; vendor preset: disabled) Active: active (running) since Tue 2020-02-18 11:14:04 CET; 7s ago Main PID: 28447 (bumblebeed) Tasks: 1 (limit: 4915) Memory: 1.7M CGroup: /system.slice/bumblebeed.service └─28447 /usr/sbin/bumblebeed woodstock:~% optirun --status Bumblebee status: Ready (3.2.1).

[opensuse-support] openSUSE Bugzilla unresponsiveness
by Mykola Krachkovsky 16 Feb '20

16 Feb '20

Hi, I know that it's known bug about openSUSE bugzilla site unresponsiveness which AFAIK linked to servers where bugzilla is located. But can't we really do anything with this? Maybe with some help of community. I've created bug report only now, though problem exists at least for 2 weeks, because when I try to do a search I don't get a result, but ERR_CONNECTION_RESET instead. I've made search today 3 times before error-free result, though I still not sure I haven't created duplicate, because I had issues with previous bug reports when I got empty search results while there were bugs with matching description and searching later showed them. When filling a bug report "possible duplicates" is empty often (for the same reason I think). Also, sometimes (not today) when creating bug report site shows error, you are creating report again, again, and then you got 2-3 identical reports, because they were created but you haven't got results with ID. This is kinda killing the mood of filling reports and making me sad, as I think it's better to keep bugs in bugzilla (or other issue tracking system), not mailing lists. So, this is partially just whining, partially a call to people to speak aloud what we (SUSE/openSUSE team and openSUSE community) can do about this. -- Kind regards, Mykola Krachkovsky -- Найкращі побажання, Микола Крачковський

[opensuse-support] GRUB2 boot from zstd-compressed btrfs
by Maximilian Trummer 13 Feb '20

13 Feb '20

With GRUB 2.04 finally supporting btrfs with zstd compression, I was thinking of switching my OS disk to that algorithm. I ran a quick test install of a VM with zstd'ed btrfs with Tumbleweed, and it failed to boot in a BIOS install but worked with UEFI. This seems to be the cause: https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/openSUSE:Factory/grub2/0001-bt… Does this mean that using btrfs with zstd compression is fine when using UEFI? regards
