[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] KDE/Plasma Lockscreen background issue
by ulfbart＠gmx.net 31 Mar '20

31 Mar '20

SW: newest Tumbleweed KDE/Plasma 5.18.3 KDE Frameworks 5.68.0 Qt 5.14.1 Kerner 5.5.11-1-default (64bit) Inside the System settings dialog - Lockscreen - View (I don't know the exact english translation, due to the fact that I'm using the German version). If I switch the background image type to "picture of the day" and lock the screen - I can only see the "background color" and not the selected image. This will be unchanged with all providers an positioning. Remark: If I use the the same settings for the background, the pictures will be shown but after locking the system - they are not visible (only again the Background color). I have checked the last day the newest version of Mandriva KDE, the same settings work fine (not possible to check SW version, so installation was removed till now). Any idea or proposal? In which tracking system I should add the issue, if this is the only way? PS: The topic is not urgent - only nice to have ;-) Regards Ulf -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-support] Configure webcam (using android phone as wifi webcam)
by Ianseeks 31 Mar '20

31 Mar '20

HI I'm at a loss how to configure this - i'm sure there used to be a webcam option in system settings or yast - can't find it any more. Using "IP Webcam" on the phone and it gives a IP address and port but where do you configure it on TW? I've tried webcamoid (takes desktop image and redisplays it recursively in its window) and wxcam (uses /dev/video0). if there a simple way to configure a wifi device as a webcam. Couldn't find anything relevant with a search. Sure i'm having a senior moment here regards Ian -- opensuse:tumbleweed:20200320 Qt: 5.14.1 KDE Frameworks: 5.68.0 - KDE Plasma: 5.18.3 - kwin 5.18.3 kmail2 5.13.3 (19.12.3) - akonadiserver 5.13.3 (19.12.3) - Kernel: 5.5.9-1-default - xf86-video-nouveau: 1.0.15 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-support] systemd-nspawn and openSUSE "base server system"
by ITwrx 26 Mar '20

26 Mar '20

hi, I'm trying to create systemd-nspawn machines that i can update and install software from within the machines themselves, with the ultimate goal of automating that with transactional-update. I couldn't find any docs on how to create a machine with a particular system role (transactional-server) and openSUSE doesn't seem to have a wiki page for systemd-nspawn, so i just followed the openSUSE example at the bottom of the systemd-nspawn freedesktop page [1] to create some sort of normal TW machine. Unfortunately, this results in a machine that can't install or update software from within the machine. When i try, I get : > Media source 'https://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/oss' does > not contain the desired medium > History: > - Download (curl) error for > 'https://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/oss/media.1/media': > Error code: Curl error 60 > Error message: SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer > certificate I wasn't sure if maybe systemd-nspawn was the culprit, and not my machines' packages/config, so i consulted the ArchLinux wiki's systemd-nspawn page [2] and created an Arch machine following those instructions. This resulted in a working machine that i could install software in. So, not a systemd-nspawn issue. I just added "patterns-base-base patterns-base-enhanced_base patterns-base-minimal_base patterns-base-sw_management" to the machine, but the result was the same. I had also previously added "ca-certificates" and "ca-certificates-mozilla" in case it was related to the error. IOW, i'm guessing. What packages/patterns or other config are required to have a openSUSE machine that i can at least use zypper in to install packages and run "dup"? thanks in advance, ITwrx [1] https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd-nspawn.html [2] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/systemd-nspawn -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-support] anyone running Folding@Home on LEAP 15.1?
by David T-G 25 Mar '20

25 Mar '20

Hi, all -- I tried to grab the Folding@Home software and go to town, but I've run into hiccups left and right. The OpenSuSE wiki page https://en.opensuse.org/Folding@Home is apparently out of date, talking about 6.x and pointing to a dead client link. I hit the F@H Linux page https://foldingathome.org/support/faq/installation-guides/linux/manual-inst… and grabbed the 7.x RPM files and installed sudo rpm -i --nodeps fahclient-7.5.1-1.x86_64.rpm fahcontrol-7.5.1-1.noarch.rpm fahviewer-7.5.1-1.x86_64.rpm (with --nodeps straight from their steps) apparently successfully, but that's it. Running FAHControl (either as me or as root; I'd rather use the fahclient account fahclient:x:456:100:Folding@home Client:/var/lib/fahclient:/sbin/nologin created during the install, but davidtg@gezebel:~> sudo -iu fahclient This account is currently not available. that doesn't work) pops up the GUI window, but it can't talk to localhost. Running FAHClient complains davidtg@gezebel:~> FAHClient FAHClient: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.10: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory about missing SSL, which I find a little surprising but might be because The World Has Changed since I was routinely installing & configuring. Surely there must be a config FAQ out there that will tell me how to get this thing talking. Maybe there's even some SuSE experience that can lead me in the right direction :-) Any suggestions?

[opensuse-support] Charset fun in Tumbleweed/KDE
by Christian Boltz 24 Mar '20

24 Mar '20

Hello, I use Tumbleweed with KDE (in case it matters: autologin is enabled) One of the tumbleweed updates in the last weeks caused some charset "fun" for me - my KDE session switched from utf-8 to iso-8859-15, and that causes quite some fun... AFAIK the breakage was introduced somewhere between 2020-02-10 15:19:03|install|openSUSE-release|20200207-444.1|x86_64|| repo-oss| b046c3318cf79350b2a3f82f15a68082753209c626a8dbc39b15641f7407cedd| and 2020-03-08 21:55:38|install|openSUSE-release|20200307-481.1|x86_64|| repo-oss| bf71546d6f33eecea3515f4a6dfecef7ced08c766ff3ee83415c126a5b764138| (I skipped the snapshots in between, and sadly that makes it much harder to find out which change (and which package) causes my problem.) For example, I see in Konsole: # locale LANG=de_DE@euro LC_CTYPE="de_DE@euro" LC_NUMERIC="de_DE@euro" LC_TIME="de_DE@euro" LC_COLLATE="de_DE@euro" LC_MONETARY="de_DE@euro" LC_MESSAGES="de_DE@euro" LC_PAPER="de_DE@euro" LC_NAME="de_DE@euro" LC_ADDRESS="de_DE@euro" LC_TELEPHONE="de_DE@euro" LC_MEASUREMENT="de_DE@euro" LC_IDENTIFICATION="de_DE@euro" LC_ALL= (de_DE@euro means iso-8859-15 instead of utf-8 :-( ) A quite visible result is that I see "M�r" (with the infamous questionmark on black background) instead of the expected "Mär" for the month in the ls -l output. Of course that's only the tip of the iceberg, there's encoding "fun" in various (especially console) programs. This seems to affect the whole KDE session, not only Konsole - for example, I've also seen mis-encoded german umlauts in the Gnucash status bar today. If I login on tty1, the locale is set to de_DE.UTF-8 as expected. Does someone have an idea which change introduced this problem, and how I can fix it? In case it matters: # grep ^[^#] /etc/sysconfig/language INPUT_METHOD="" RC_LANG="de_DE.UTF-8" RC_LC_ALL="" RC_LC_MESSAGES="" RC_LC_CTYPE="" RC_LC_COLLATE="" RC_LC_TIME="" RC_LC_NUMERIC="" RC_LC_MONETARY="" RC_LC_PAPER="" ROOT_USES_LANG="ctype" AUTO_DETECT_UTF8="no" INSTALLED_LANGUAGES="" RC_LANG was originally set to "". I changed it to "de_DE.UTF-8", but that didn't change anything.

[opensuse-support] Leap 15.1 Resume from hibernation stopped working after latest kernel update
by Till Dörges 23 Mar '20

23 Mar '20

Hi all, I'm running a pretty much vanilla installation of openSUSE Leap 15.1 With the previous kernel (kernel-default-4.12.14-lp151.28.36.1.x86_64) everything was working just fine. After updating to kernel-default-4.12.14-lp151.28.40.1.x86_64 resume from hibernate (suspend to disk) stopped working: --- snip --- box:~ # journalctl -S 2020-03-01 | egrep 'Started Resume from hibernation using|Linux version 4.12.14-lp151.2|software suspend data detected.

[opensuse-support] NetworkManager filter usb device
by Matthias Brugger 18 Mar '20

18 Mar '20

Hi all, I'm trying to convince NetworkManager to not create a modem for a given USB device. For that I added a udev rule: ~/$ cat /etc/udev/rules.d/51-nm-blacklist.rules ATTR{idVendor}=="16d0", ATTR{idProduct}=="04b2", ENV{ID_MTP_DEVICE}="1", ENV{MTP_NO_PROBE}="1", ENV{NM_UNMANAGED}="1" But if I run journalctl -f while plugging in the device I still get: <copy> Mar 17 21:49:09 ziggy.stardust kernel: usb 1-1.2.1: new full-speed USB device number 19 using ehci-pci Mar 17 21:49:09 ziggy.stardust kernel: usb 1-1.2.1: New USB device found, idVendor=16d0, idProduct=04b2, bcdDevice= 0.01 Mar 17 21:49:09 ziggy.stardust kernel: usb 1-1.2.1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=220 Mar 17 21:49:09 ziggy.stardust kernel: usb 1-1.2.1: Product: Chameleon-Mini Mar 17 21:49:09 ziggy.stardust kernel: usb 1-1.2.1: Manufacturer: Kasper & Oswald GmbH Mar 17 21:49:09 ziggy.stardust kernel: usb 1-1.2.1: SerialNumber: 839523431373FFFFB0FF6100F000 Mar 17 21:49:09 ziggy.stardust kernel: cdc_acm 1-1.2.1:1.0: ttyACM0: USB ACM device Mar 17 21:49:10 ziggy.stardust gnome-shell[2826]: Unable to mount volume Chameleon Mini: Gio.IOErrorEnum: No MTP devices found Mar 17 21:49:27 ziggy.stardust ModemManager[1417]: <info> [device /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1a.0/usb1/1-1/1-1.2/1-1.2.1] creating modem with plugin 'Generic' and '1' ports Mar 17 21:49:27 ziggy.stardust ModemManager[1417]: <warn> Could not grab port (tty/ttyACM0): 'Cannot add port 'tty/ttyACM0', unhandled serial type' Mar 17 21:49:27 ziggy.stardust ModemManager[1417]: <warn> Couldn't create modem for device '/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1a.0/usb1/1-1/1-1.2/1-1.2.1': Failed to find primary AT port </copy> Which indicates me that ModemManager is still trying to send AT commands to the device, which I don't want it to do.

I didn't see any hardcoded python dep version for gajim, so why won't it try to use python 3.8 when the upgrade is finished? Why is gnome-music complaining about not having python 3.8 when i thought that should be the version upgraded to? I tried keeping the obsolete packages (even though i didn't want to) thinking i could update, wait on packages to catch up to whatever was going on, and then delete later, but things only got worse, so i cancelled. What is the recommended course of action here? thanks, ITwrx -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner(a)opensuse.org
