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 -- Be Free, Be Linux

intel / nvidia and xorg.conf

by mh＠mike.franken.de

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.

crash

by Doug McGarrett

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

Problem with Self-extracting DOS Archive

by michael.kasimir＠gmx.de

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 Michael Kasimir Be Free, Be Linux

KDE Plasma - switching to English does not work

by Bjoern Voigt

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_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 LC_NUMERIC="en_US.utf8" LC_TIME="en_US.utf8" LC_COLLATE="en_US.utf8" LC_MONETARY="en_US.utf8" LC_MESSAGES=en_US.utf8 LC_PAPER="en_US.utf8" LC_NAME="en_US.utf8" LC_ADDRESS="en_US.utf8" LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.utf8" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.utf8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.utf8" LC_ALL= Here are some config files: /etc/locale.conf LANG=en_US.UTF-8 /etc/sysconfig/language # empty lines and comments deleted INPUT_METHOD="" RC_LANG="en_US.utf8" 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="de_DE,en_US" myuser@mybox:~> locale -a | grep ^en_US en_US en_US.iso885915 en_US.utf8 Any ideas? Please send my a working en_US setup (config files etc.). Greetings, Björn
