Gnome extensions not working on 20210414 / Gnome 40
by Robert Munteanu 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. Thanks and regards -- Till --- snip --- box:~ # uname -a Linux box 5.3.18-lp152.66-default #1 SMP Tue Mar 2 13:18:19 UTC 2021 (73933a3) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux box:~ # lsb-release -d Description: openSUSE Leap 15.2 box:~ # zypper --version zypper 1.14.43 box:~ # rpm -q zypper zypper-1.14.43-lp152.2.18.1.x86_64 box:~ # zypper lu Loading repository data...

/tmp is emptied; /var/tmp/ is not
by DennisG 04 Apr '21

04 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

Enter your netmask(s) in CIDR notation (/25) or dotted decimals (255.255.255.0). Inverse netmasks are recognized.
