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

Safely remove Apparmor?
by DennisG 22 Feb '22

22 Feb '22

I don't use Apparmor (installed by default), so I would like to remove it. There is an Apparmor Pattern which when deleted will remove package patterns-base-apparmor, but many apparmor packages remain. It appears all the apparmor packages (except for libapparmor1, a dependency for systemd) can be individually deleted by YaST, which is what I would prefer. Is that safe to do? TIA! --dg 15.3/Plasma

Hello, I'm trying to include a picture into an article on the openSUSE-Wiki. I go to the upload box, select a local file (.png, with rw access), confirm that it is my work and hit 'upload'. Result: Something went wrong The path at which the stashed file should have been found was invalid. Are special authorisations required to upload pictures? Cheers Axel

Best practices for automatic updates
by Axel Braun 17 Feb '22

17 Feb '22

Good morning, I would like to learn about best practices on how to automate updates for Leap and trigger a reboot if required. I understand transactional update & rebootmgr should only be considered for MicroOS. In general, a one-liner like zypper up -l -y && shutdown -r 0 could be triggered by cron job (or systemd-timer). In case there are conflicts this will most likely get stuck. I feel for a server an update should be triggered manually, dependng on requirement and available time-window Another option, mainly for desktop systems, could be a similar script that runs as part of the shutdown process. Any other suggestions/comments? Thanks Axel

Re... message from the grub2 underworld
by Ben T. Fender 09 Feb '22

09 Feb '22

I've been getting sporadic boot hangs and posted to the Devuan forum on account of it occurring only with my Devuan installation. The opinion there was that the problem was not Devuan 'as-such', me I haven't got the faintest clue because I was born that way :-) https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=4855 From my perspective of which the current moments are fairly typical as I'm running outside to do snow-removal https://imgur.com/uRNgqGr.png the problem is a non-event. When it does materialize I just reboot and I've never seen it repeat consecutively. I am however curious as to why a dev-name would at all get into the chain seeing that (after years of futile resistance bordering on violence) all the fstabs involved use only partition uuid. Maybe some Suse devs would like to look into it, time permitting I will supply what info I can.

If this is true then It seems to be result of repository mix I used during update process. I was to enable (only two options are use or remove repository). So I used all repositories used in damaged system including disabled repositories at time of crash and I added 4 repositories OSS, nonOSS, update and source/debug.

HIDPI?
by mh＠mike.franken.de 06 Feb '22

06 Feb '22

Hi *, recently I got a new DELL XPS 13 9310 2-in-1 with a screen resolution of 3840x2400. In the meantime I managed to get readable grub and console screens. I created a config file in /etc/sddm.conf.d with [X11] ServerArguments=-dpi 192 EnableHIDPI=yes which led to a readable sddm login dialog. But from this point on things started to behave really strange. After logging into plasma, I still get an unreadable small screen resolution. Nevertheless I managed to run systemsettings5 and set the scaling factor to 200%. After pressing "Apply" the screen switches to a much bigger scaling factor than 200% - just as if plasma had recognized the dpi server options at this point, too. After logging out an in, I again get an unreadable small screen resolution despite the fact, that the scaling factor is still set to 200%. What am I doing wrong here? TIA. Bye. Michael.
