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

09 Feb '22

have been using nvidia cards (and others) forever and had few problems, but maybe getting old is now a problem. have a new dell desktop i7-11700 with onboard intel RodketLake-S GT1 [UHD Graphicks 750] and nVidia GA104 [GeForce rTX 3060 Ti] I entered the bios and configured using the NVidia card rather than Auto. I have installed: kernel-firmware-nvidia 20211027-1.1 libnvidia-container1 1.1.1-4.1 (extra) libnvidia-egl-wayland1 1.1.7-3.1 (recommended) nvidia-computeG05 470.86-49.2 nvidia-gfxG05-kmp-default 470.86_k5.15.1_8-49.4 nvidia-glG05 470.86-49.2 nvidia-texture-tools 2.1.2-2.3 (extra) x11-video-nvidiaG05 470.86-49.2 reboot to runlevel #3 with nomodeset added to kernel boot parameters as root issue: systemctl isolate graphical prompt returns to tty screen but tty7 is blank with blinking cursor upper left I even installed kernel-source packages and tried the "Hard Way" which I used to use, but failed with msg that kernel-source not configured ??? I have spent much tooo much time trying on my own to resolve this.

grub fails to rescue prompt: '/boot/grub2/x86_64-efi' not found.
by Eric 30 Jan '22

30 Jan '22

In short: I added btrfs subvolumes (including @/boot/grub2/x86_64-efi ) to try to get snapshot booting in the grub2 menu to work, and after running an update grub fails to the recovery console and reports error: ../../grub-core/fs/btrfs.c:1997:file '/boot/grub2/x86_64-efi' not found. error: ../../grub-core/fs/btrfs.c:1997:file '/boot/grub2/x86_64-efi/normal.mod' not found. From the grub rescue prompt I can ls @/boot/grub2/x86_64-efi and it successfully reads that folder. Why can it see this path with the @ and not without the @ and how can I fix this? --------------------- Longer version My openSUSE system only had a @ subvolume for / and a @home subvolume (which was not a child of the @ subvolume, but a sibling, FWIW). To try to get the grub menu snapshots working, I created subvolumes for /var /usr/local /srv /root and /boot/grub2/x86_64-efi, copying over the contents of the directories they would replace and then moving the subvolumes into the place of the old directories (using single user mode for a couple of these such as /var), and added /etc/fstab entries for them. I did a few at a time, rebooting in between to make sure things were working properly. I added SUSE_BTRFS_SNAPSHOT_BOOTING=true into /etc/default/grub and made sure grub2-snapper-plugin was installed. The system booted fine after all of these changes but I hadn't refreshed grub. At this point I ran a full zypper update, since I was overdue, figuring it would take care of the grub refresh. And I guess it did, but now grub is broken. I've booted with a usb LIVE image and set up a chroot to run grub2-mkconfig and grub2-install to try to fix it (including once with SUSE_BTRFS_SNAPSHOT_BOOTING disabled again) but I still get the same error.

Postfix gives unsupported dictionary type: btree on Leap 15.3
by Freek de Kruijf 18 Jan '22

18 Jan '22

I have a recent installed Leap 15.3 system on a Raspberry Pi 4B and I try to configure it as an email server. The access port 25 should offer STARTTLS, which has been configured as well. This requires also the parameter smtpd_tls_session_cache_database = btree:/ var/lib/postfix/smtpd_tls_session_cache However when I access using STARTTLS to port 25 I get the warning: postfix/tlsmgr[13932]: warning: btree:/var/lib/postfix/smtpd_tls_session_cache is unavailable. unsupported dictionary type: btree I do see the file /var/lib/postfix/smtpd_tls_session_cache.db Should I file a bug report? -- fr.gr. member openSUSE Freek de Kruijf

KMail Leap 15.3 - unread mails
by Axel Braun 06 Jan '22

06 Jan '22

Hi, I have one PC that still runs Leap, and since the update to Leap 15.3 the number of unread mails as shown in the Kmail overview is some random number that does not match the real number of unread mails (which is usually Zero): [1] Selecting 'Mark read' from the context menu does not work, neither does akonadictl fsck/ vacuum fix the problem. DB backend is Postgres. Any idea what else to try? Cheers Axel -------- [1] Bild1

Konsole/Dolphin in KDE Gear 21.12
by Axel Braun 03 Jan '22

03 Jan '22

Hi, since latestet KDE Update, when opening a Konsole from Dolphin with F4, it starts automatically in root mode. This is the same (new) behaviour as Konsole itself, which suddenly starts in root mode as well. While this could be fixed by changing Settings -> Profile - > Standard as default profile, this option seem not to exist for Konsole from Dolphin ~/.config/dolphinrc does not seem to have a corresponding entry either. Any ideas? Thanks Axel
