Tumbleweed rescue upgrade: Product problem during update initialisation
by Peter Fodrek,ml.-súkromne 17 Mar '22

17 Mar '22

Dear openSUSE experts, I would like to rescue damaged tumbleweed instalation via upgrade from bootobale usb due to damaged are shim, glibc and rpm database at least. Chroot form SystemRecuseCD/SystemRecue is not possible to use After settings with only one popup window due to not popssible grub2 config read (error in script), there is everything ok. When upgrade is initialising it crashhed with no method path available in to remove product Tumblewwed 202105..in /mounts/imp001/usr/share/YaST2/lib/y2packager/resolvable.rb script on line 132. Maybe it is due to I was to used packager repository from openSuse build service repository in the past. Is there any solution to remove product from selection if trying to edit product list is not allowed in the installer,please? Something like moveing files from /etc/zypp/repos.d for packages will be helpfull to me, too. Or is there any other recomended solution,please? I look forward hearing from you Yours faithfully Peter Fodrek,j.r.

[Leap 15.3] Reinstallation question
by Bob Williams 14 Mar '22

14 Mar '22

This machine has Leap 15.3 installed on a 250GB M2 NVME drive. This is very wasteful of space, and I'd like to repartition the drive and then reinstall Leap 15.3 in a smaller partition. I plan to use BTRFS with snapshotting enabled. I'm thinking 50GB would be ample. /home is on a separate rotating rust device. I'd like to get the system back to its current state as quickly as possible, so my work plan is: 1) Reinstall Leap 15.3 from appropriate media (I have a DVD), reformatting the M2 NVME drive at this stage. 2) Upgrade the new installation (I believe this happens concurrently during installation nowadays?) 3) Reinstall all my current applications. To do step 3) what do I need to copy from the current installation? something in /etc/zypp I believe?

override blacklist HPFS in TW
by Felix Miata 14 Mar '22

14 Mar '22

What exactly needs to be in some file in /etc/modprobe.d/ to override /usr/lib/modprobe.d/60-blacklist_fs_hpfs.conf? Is copying it to /etc/modprobe.d/ as same name and commenting its contents, or emptying it, sufficient, superceding the same name file in the /usr/ tree? -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science.

Unable to mount virtio-fs shared directories since Tumbleweed 20220216 transactional-update
by bjurg orsku 10 Mar '22

Hi all, Host: Tumbleweed transactional-server Guest VM: Leap 15.3 (up to date) I'm unable to mount virtio-fs shared directories since Tumbleweed 20220216 transactional-update. The Guest VM is managed through libvirt tools and still work very well while the KVM host is running Tumbleweed 20220215. Here are higlights for the guest VM libvirt xml file: ---8<---------- <memoryBacking> <hugepages> <page size='2048' unit='KiB'/> </hugepages> <access mode='shared'/> </memoryBacking> --->8---------- ---8<---------- <filesystem type='mount' accessmode='passthrough'> <driver type='virtiofs' queue='1024'/> <binary path='/usr/libexec/virtiofsd' xattr='on'> <cache mode='none'/> <sandbox mode='namespace'/> <lock posix='on' flock='on'/> </binary> <source dir='/var/data/VG0-DATA'/> <target dir='VG0-DATA'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x07' slot='0x00' function='0x0'/> </filesystem> --->8---------- For historical reasons, VG0-DATA is an XFS filesystem on LVM2 on LUKS2 encrypted disk. I can't identify anything in the diff files of the snapshot changes that is responsible for this issue: https://openqa.opensuse.org/snapshot.../diff/20220215 --- https://openqa.opensuse.org/snapshot.../diff/20220216 Latest transactional-update still do not solve this problem, my only solution for now is to stay on snapshot 20220215. I would be very grateful to anyone who can point me to a solution. Regards,
