how to prevent /etc/profile.d/ files from returning
by David T-G 13 Apr '22

13 Apr '22

Hi, all -- I'm running Leap 15.2 (and this has been happening for a while), and after a round of updates I have to go back to /etc/profile.d and wipe out files that I don't want (alias.bash + ls.bash in particular). Different from adding my own run commands to profile.local.sh thereunder, I want to NOT get the stock stuff. Is there any way to keep them from being dropped again so that I don't have to deal with this over and over? *sigh* TIA & HAND :-D -- David T-G See http://justpickone.org/davidtg/email/ See http://justpickone.org/davidtg/tofu.txt

TW/KMail - encoding broken
by Axel Braun 26 Apr '21

26 Apr '21

Hi, using KMail on Tumbleweed, I notice some broken encoding when sending a mail to a large number of recipients (yes, sounds strange, but given the fact that there were some hard limits on the number of receipients for some time...) Each line break comes with '=20' at the end of the line. Looking at the mail header: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" -> looks good, but I miss Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable which probably does the trick (and is in other mails). I assume saving a mail in draft folder of am IMAP account should not change anything. So, the criteria 'number of recipient' (>50 in that case) is the only common denominator. Did anyone else notice this? Thanks Axel

convert fila to open libpcre2-8.so.0

Hi, I'm using convert regularly to extract jpegs from pdf's, like convert -density 300 Jauchzet-dem-Herren.pdf -quality 80 Jauchzet-dem-Herren-%02d.jpg But after one of the the last updates of TW (don't know which snapshot, I'm on the latest (20210423); the one before that had the problem too) I get this error: gs: error while loading shared libraries: libpcre2-8.so.0: failed to map segment from shared object and as a result convert fails: convert: no images defined `Jauchzet-dem-Herren-%02d.jpg' @ error/convert.c/ConvertImageCommand/3322.

Crashed!
by Doug McGarrett 24 Apr '21

24 Apr '21

Recently have had increasing problems with system crashing. Hoping that updating would correct this, I ran zypper dup. and it crashed while installing everything. It is now not possible to boot the system, either on the recovery option or the earlier system shown in the boot selection. I expect I will have to reinstall, however, I would like to try and copy off some files to a second (presently empty) hard drive I installed a couple of months ago. If this is not feasible, I have a blank hard drive that can be hooked up to a usb port if necessary. Am writing this from the Windows os that came with the machine. I don't suppose there is anything in Windows that will do what I need--correct me if I'm wrong--so I can download a present version of OpenSuse TW or use a DVD that I downloaded last summer. Whichever is suggested, I need instructions on how to recover important files and pictures and save them to the second hard drive. (I have or will format that to ext4 from gparted.) Then I will download a present iteration of the system and install it on the original drive. Sorry about the double spacing--Windows T/B style! Thank you for any assistance--doug -- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus

IO or IRQ conflict after installing nVidia geForce 2060 RTX card
by J Leslie Turriff 18 Apr '21

18 Apr '21

I recently installed an nVidia geForce 2060 RTX graphics card that I want to dedicate to a virtual machine, but now my built-in Intel sound device stopped working. I opened YaST => Sound, deleted the Intel sound device, then attempted to set it up again with the Edit button. After a moment I got the message, | An error occurred during the installation of | | 200 Series PCH HD Audio | | The kernel module snd-hda-intel for sound support | could not be loaded. This can be caused by incorrect | module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters. What's the best way to fix this? Leslie -- openSUSE Leap 15.2 x86_64

Thunderbird characters size not adjustable
by Marco Calistri 18 Apr '21

18 Apr '21

Hello, Somebody could tell me if I have any chance to adjust Inbox messages characters size whose source contains: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Messages coming sent with the above format are not adjustable in characters size by Thunderbird: they stay the same and too small for reading. I say this because if the format of source message is different, as for example: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="windows-1252"; format="flowed" Content-Language: en-US Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Then the size of the characters size is adjustable and adequate for an optimal reading. I remember this is a very old problem of Thundebird I faced from the very beginning many years ago. Thanks, -- Marco Calistri Build: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20210408 Kernel:5.11.11-1-default Desktop: XFCE (4.16.0)

Gnome extensions not working on 20210414 / Gnome 40
by Robert Munteanu 16 Apr '21

16 Apr '21

Hi, After upgrading to the latest snapshot I can't see to get any Gnome extension to work. I was previously using https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/615/appindicator-support/ https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1422/stocks-extension/ Now when I visit the installed extensions web page [1] all extensions are disabled. If I try to enable then, nothing happens in the UI. In the page they show as enabled until I refresh the page. I've tried with the extensions I mentioned above and the 'system' extension SLE Classic - no luck. I've tried the following: 1. uninstalling/reinstalling from the gnome.org extensions website I get an 'Install extension' prompt, something seems to be happening, and looking at the system journal it downloads and unpacks it but then nothing. The last line is usually extracting: $HOME/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/stocks(a)infinicode.de/metadata.json 2. restarting gnome-shell using alt-F2 and r 3. checking for errors using looking glass alt-F2, lg, then 'Show Errors' for the extensions, and for all extensions it shows 'has not emitted any errors'. 4. Physically removing $HOME/local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/* At this point I have no idea what to try next. Is anyone else seeing this or has some idea how to debug/fix? Thanks, Robert [1]: https://extensions.gnome.org/local/

'zypper patch' for kernel-default not working (openSUSE-2021-532, 5.3.18-lp152.69.1)
by Till Dörges 10 Apr '21

10 Apr '21

Hello everybody, I have several openSUSE Leap 15.2 boxes where installing the latest update via 'zypper patch' for kernel-default is not working. It has been working flawlessly in the past. Doing 'zypper install' for the kernel does work, but YaST online update (/usr/lib/YaST2/bin/online_update) happens to use 'zypper patch'. Other patches that were available at the same time (e.g. openSUSE-2021-529 for updating to gzip-1.10-lp152.2.6.1) were installed w/o any problems via 'zypper patch'. Zypper states that "Patch 'openSUSE-2021-532-1' is not needed." - which I obviously disagree with. Could anybody shed some light on what's going on/wrong here? See below for some more information.

/tmp is emptied; /var/tmp/ is not
by DennisG 05 Apr '21

05 Apr '21

At boot, my /tmp directory is being cleaned out. However, /var/tmp/ still has ~3000 folders, containing ~300 files. All but 2 of the folders are named zypp.*, created over the past 2 years and appear to contain mostly public/private keys and associated files. My /etc/tmpfiles.d/tmp.conf looks like (as recommended on the Forums): D! /tmp 1777 root root 1d D! /var/tmp 1777 root root 1d So it would appear that the first line for /tmp is being used (I presume by a systemd unit), but the second line is not. My /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/tmp.conf has: d /tmp 1777 root root - d /var/tmp 1777 root root - which I have understood is the installed default and is not used when tmp.conf exists under /etc/tmpfiles.d/ (?). What am I missing? TIA! -- dg Leap 15.2 w/KDE
