can installing Kernel:/stable/standard on 15.2 be done?
by Felix Miata 15 Dec '21

15 Dec '21

Trying to install Kernel:/stable/standard kernel on 15.2 nothing provides kmod-zstd needed by kernel-default-5.15.8. <https://software.opensuse.org/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&baseproject=openSUSE%3A…> returns nothing. What needs to be enabled to allow a newer kernel than 15.2 provides for support of Intel Rocket Lake UHD 730 graphics? -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science.

too many packages!
by Ben T. Fender 15 Dec '21

15 Dec '21

I find that too many packages get installed because they are in a pattern or are 'required' by one or another! Would like to see an installation mode that invites users to select 'user-level' applications and then install ONLY those with all depends. The first such application would needs be install a huge load of chained depends but in the end nothing would get installed that the user didn't ask for or that wasn't a dependency for what s/he asked for. I would start with Firefox Rosegarden Qsynth Qjackctl ZynnAddSubFx Thunderbird Seamonkey Sylpheed gftp Google-Earth-Pro Audacity Sonic-Visualizer kdenlive Simple Screeen Recoder Vlc Gimp Spectacle Nedit and the usual utis like kfind kdf Dolphin Dolphin SU Konsole Kcalc I just drew up this list by looking at the icons on the side-panels of my desktop. There are very few progs that I have any interest in that are not here or that are not 'strict' dependencies. Case in point being LibreOffice, a GREAT package but I just don't do any of that, yet it frequently hogs a lot of update bandwith!

Fwd: Weird dns (?) cache behavior

I did not think Firefox would cache even redirects! Technically, it is not part of the site content, it is governed by the .htaccess file which is part of the http server configuration. And frankly this type of caching seems quite aggressive to me. It could very well bite casual users, too. BTW, I learned something new today, and finally fixed the behavior of my Firefox (and I'm sure I'll be able to fix Falkon in much the same way). For those following this thread, you may be interested in knowing how I cleared the contents cache in Firefox. Here is the page with instructions <https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-clear-firefox-cache>. It also instructs you on how to clear the cache automatically every time Firefox closes. Hope this helps. Bye Cris

Weird dns (?) cache behavior
by Cristiano Guadagnino 14 Dec '21

14 Dec '21

Hi all, I am facing a weird network behavior on my Tumbleweed box. I noticed it long ago but I just thought I was doing something wrong. Anyway... I'll try to cut it short. Yesterday I was updating some remote virtual server, connecting to a domain and adding Let's Encrypt certificates. The server had been inaccessible from the internet up to that moment, and I was used to connect to it through a vpn connection which made it visible under its LAN IP 192.168.1.43. After doing my thing, I tried to connect to it through the new domain name (the VPN was disconnected). The server hosts a Wordpress installation, which almost always replies with an HTTP 301 to canonicalize the url. Here comes the weird part: Firefox (which I had almost always used before) tried to connect to the old 192.168.1.43 IP as soon as it received the 301. After fighting for half a day with rewrite rules on the server, it occurred to me that *maybe* it was a caching problem on the client side. Actually, wget and curl both do the right thing: they are redirected to the expected canonicalized URL. I tried with Falkon, which I had seldomly used with the old IP to access the server. Falkon also exhibits the caching problem, although less extensively than FIrefox (some URL forms do work, other get redirected to the old IP). Finally, I tried with Chromium, which I never used at all. It worked perfectly. To make sure I was not dreaming, I installed the "HTTP Header Live" addon in Firefox to actually see what was going on. The result left me stunned: after receiving HTTP 301, Firefox shows a redirect to https://192.168.1.43, and the redirect is dated Monday, 06 december 2021 *always*. Needless to say, doing the same thing with curl/wget reports the correct redirect URL and current date/time. I tried innumerable times to flush the DNS cache, I even stopped completely the nscd service. BTW, the fact that each application behaves differently hints at an application-level caching (I even proceeded to flush Firefox internal DNS cache), but why are they behaving this way? I have this same consistent behavior *now*, after closing/reopening the various applications innumerable times, even after several system reboots. How can this be possible. What is going on under the hood? Please help me shed some light on this behavior. Thank you in advance Cris [image: cloudHQ] <https://www.free-email-tracker.com> Powered by cloudHQ <https://www.free-email-tracker.com>

My issues with installation images
by odyx ravo 13 Dec '21

13 Dec '21

--Hi, I'm relatively new to the linux world, And i like openSUSE, And i really want to use it for my everyday life(Currently i'm using debian testing), But i'm having a hard time trying to understand why would openSUSE chose to put a practically useless live images, Instead of a complete live images like all the major distributions, A live images that you can try the distro from and eventually installing the system from them, Instead of trying with them and knowing -as the download page state- that the live images doesn't reflect the real OS because they are incomplete.. And if i want to install the OS i have to download another image file.. I really hope that the openSUSE team would take this into consideration --AH.. And it would be really useful if the team can add torrent files to download from(Again like the major distributions(and this is not because the other distributions are better, It's just because it's very handy to have torrent files sometimes)), Because after i clicked download, The mirror link that was automatically chosen for me was downloading at 70kbps, andi found out about it after i woke up.. --much respect and love.

automount executable encrypted disk in Leap 15.3
by Rick Smegal 12 Dec '21

12 Dec '21

Hail, A disk that was encrypted in Leap 15.2 was not automatically available after a new installation of 15.3. I can access the encrypted container dev/sd1 with cryptsetup -v luksOpen /dev/sda1 cr_sda1 (r,w only). I would like to know what the clean and 'proper' way is to have this disk mount at boot (with user r,w,x) within the Leap 15.3 framework. I have the contents backed up. Rick
