OpenSUSE TW.
System crashed during the second part of upgrade, where files were
reporting "done." Crash occurred at
966/2162 Installing shim _15 + git47-222222222.2.x86_64
Rebooted to blank (black) screen with message as follows:
GNU GRUB VERSION 2.04
Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For the first word, TAB
lists possible command completion.
Anywhere else TAB lists possible device file completetions.
grub _
Is it possible to save this, and if so, how? Have left computer in this
condition awaiting answer.

Hi everyone.
I am having trouble booting from usb. I am trying to recover data from a
notebook with windows. So i think use a live linux from opensuse. And perform
the following steps:
1) download a opensuse liveCD, (3 opensuse versions and others)
2) install the image with imagewriter to a usb with a SD memory.
3) go to failed notebook select boot from usb
4) Grub menu works fine.
5) I select start live.....
6) The system cant boot:
mount /run/overlay/squashfs_container: wrong fs type on /dev/loop0
mount /run/overlay/rootfsbase: special device /LiveOS/rootfs.img does not
exist.
system halted
Y try on another notebook (that work well) with the similar result.
dracut: FATAL: failed to mount live ISO
dracut: Refusing to continue
I need touch some on bios? live TW & live Leap are broken? Some special
command to grup is required? Or any other idea or clue?
Best Regards
Christian

Hi *,
I'd like to setup a machine with an internal Intel UHD630 device plus a PCIe
NVidia GTX750 card.
I started with the Intel device as single graphics adapter. With the attached
xorg-intel.conf everything works as expected, all screen and monitor sections
have been accepted by the X server and the plugged monitors show the
appropriate output streams.
Then I added the NVidia sections to this xorg.conf, named it xorg-
intel_nvidia.conf and things got strange. Screen 0, that has the nvidia device
attached , works as expected - the tv signal shows up on the tv.
But for the screens served by the intel device I get an error messages saying
"(EE) Screen 1 deleted because of no matching config section." - but the
sections contain exactly the same parameters as they have in the intel only
configuration, where they are working perfectly!?!?
Whats more, I still get Screen 1, but with some default settings. I don't get
Screen 2 at all.
I spent at least four days trying to find out whats going on here, but didn't
succeed. To make it even harder, every time I run xrandr for any of the
screens, the NVidia driver is dumping core 8-( This also doesn't happen with
the intel only setup.
Any idea whats up here?
Thx.
Bye.
Michael.
As mentioned before, I have had a number of times the computer
would crash, but not the disaster I went thru a few days ago. This
is the symptom: No input from keyboard or mouse affects anything
and there is no cursor on screen. Usually two lights on the keyboard
will flash. I think numlock and capslock, but not sure it's always those.
Is there some file I can look at to try and determine what caused
the crash, and if I find it, can it be fixed?
Thanx for your expertise--doug
Hi all,
currently I have the problem to unpack an archive file which was packed as
self extractor in 1998. I guess that this file was created with the operating
system W...95. The associated file archiver was
ARJ 2.55b ALPHA TESTWARE Copyright (c) 1990-96 ARJ Software. Jul 16 1996.
which works/has worked on DOS level.
The core problem is apparently now that obviously the created self-extracting
archive is not extractable across different operating systems, because the
runtime environment is completely different today (e.g. 32-bit --> 64-bit,
etc.).
Presumably, the self-extracting archive can only be extracted under the
operating system.
Unfortunately I don't have an old operating system to try this, nor the
hardware used at the time of packing to run it.
I have now tried to solve my problem with the DOSBox 0.74-3 program.
The existing ARJ.EXE packing program can apparently be started normally with
it.
However, the existing self-extracting archive does not.
In DOSBox the following error message is issued:
This program cannot be run in DOS mode.
Does anyone have an idea how to solve this problem?
Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Kind regards

opensuse:tumbleweed:20210218
Qt: 5.15.2 KDE Frameworks: 5.79.0 - KDE Plasma: 5.21.0 - kwin 5.21.0
kmail2 5.16.2 (20.12.2) - akonadiserver 5.16.2 (20.12.2) - Kernel: 5.10.16-1-default - xf86-video-nouveau: 1.0.17
For an online session with English speaking participants I want to
temporarily switch my KDE Plasma desktop on Tumbleweed from German to
English. All texts should be shown in English. The keyboard layout
should stay German. Units, time&date etc. should also stay German, but
this is not important.
I tried to switch from German to English on two places:
- Yast - see https://paste.opensuse.org/7974c2c3
- KDE system settings - see https://paste.opensuse.org/37e295e8
Of course I logged in again after changing these settings. I also tried
rebooting.
Unfortunately desktop and console are still German. So probably
something is configured wrong.
Programs do not show English messages:
myuser@mybox:~> rm does-not-exists
rm: das Entfernen von 'does-not-exists' ist nicht möglich: Datei oder
Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
"locale" shows German settings too:
myuser@mybox:~> locale
LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=
Later I also added these environment variables to $HOME/.profile
export LANG=en_US.utf8
export LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8
export LC_MESSAGES="en_US.utf8"
export LC_ALL=
Also these settings do not help much:
myuser@mybox:~> rm does-not-exists
rm: das Entfernen von 'does-not-exists' ist nicht möglich: Datei oder
Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
myuser@mybox:~> locale
LANG=en_US.utf8

LC_ADDRESS="en_US.utf8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.utf8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.utf8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.utf8"

Here are some config files:

myuser@mybox:~> locale -a | grep ^en_US
en_US

Any ideas?
Please send my a working en_US setup (config files etc.).
