[support] unexpected mirror redirects
by Felix Miata 29 Nov '23

29 Nov '23

I'm in SE USA. I did traceroutes to cdn.opensuse.org (151.101.1.91) and download.opensuse.org (195.135.223.226) to see if the results suggest any reason for apparent sluggishness. Cdn resolved to Rome. Download resolved to Vienna. Why nothing on same continent, without an ocean in between? 23.82.143.211 is reported for mirror.mia11.us.leaseweb.net/opensuse, but that IP shows in Amsterdam. mirror.math.princeton.edu/pub/opensuse-full, which is expected to live in New Jersey, is 128.112.18.21, shows near San Francisco. ftp.ussg.iu.edu/linux/opensuse (156.56.247.193) is Indiana University, but shows in North Carolina. 91.193.113.70 in Nuernberg is returned for provo-mirror.opensuse.org!?!?! I've been using https://www.ipligence.com/geolocation to lookup IPs to match domains, which seems must be doing a lot of lying. What's the best cmdline utility to locate the physical location hosting any given IP? Is there any? Is there any way to determine which mirrors actually are nearby, or if any are? -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science. Team OS/2 ** Reg.

Message in info of KDE (Sysinfo): event in August says: kernel not integer. - A part from this no other warning received.

Eventi sicurezza host 2023-08-27 07:22:35: <span style="color:red;"></span><span style="font- weight:bold;color:red;">✘</span> Il kernel non è integro in English this is: security event host: the kernel isn't integer Do I have to reinstall, what kind of problem could this be? I am also using a CPU based TPM (AMD) but the system says "no tpm". I did activate "reliable boot via UEFI" in Yast but the system claims that uefi is not used.... weired because I did install with UEFI. So is this only false positives from the software or should I be alarmed and reinstall the system?

Hardware Support questions
by Joe Salmeri 22 Nov '23

22 Nov '23

Can anyone point me to a list of supported motherboards ? I'm building a new PC and looking either the Asus z790 Maximus Hero or the Asus z90 Maximus Formula motherboards but I'm having trouble confirming that these motherboards are supported. Anybody using Tumbleweed on one of those motherboards ? Those boards have an HDMI port and 2 Thunderbolt 4 ports and the Thunderbolt 4 ports support DisplayPort over Thunderbort 4. I have a dual 27" monitor setup with one of the monitors using DisplayPort currently and was planning to get a DisplayPort to Thunderbolt 4 cable. Does anyone know if that is supported ? Thanks in advance!

sftp broken in konqueror
by eddie 22 Nov '23

22 Nov '23

I installed Leap 15.5 today. I have several computers and communicate/transfer files between them using sftp in konqueror. I have submitted a bug report but I was wondering if anyone else has this problem and found a workaround or simple solution. My current workaround is to install the 15.4 files for konqueror and dolphin.

Is i686/Pentium 3 dead on TW?

My last Socket A Athlon won't run zypper any more. How about a Slot 1 Pentium 3 Coppermine? Still "functional"? -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science. Team OS/2 ** Reg. Linux User #211409 ** a11y rocks! Felix Miata

apparently made a huge mistake - removing certain packages from some calibre repo completely - system kind of uninstalled
by cagsm 17 Nov '23

Support, apparently I made a huge mistake or so, via the yast softwaremanagement, I went into that mode where I see the repositories on the left side each and every repo for itself. When clicking them, the yast listing the packages coming from that package. Some while ago, I added calibre ebook repo, from use user I think named ecsos or so, as that was the only repo I could kind of find via software.opensuse.org whose repo I could add to my 15.5 system that would then install me calibre. Anyhow, that repos brought in a set of other packages, I remember many python 3.11 or so packages being added as well. Today I wanted to simply delete or remove (red stop street road sign) in that yast software part. When trying to apply, the yast was doing dependency checks and it asked a few questions but not too many, oddly enough it asked e.g. I still remember if i wanted to keep or remove mozilla nss and so, which I have not messed with at all, dunno how this dependency came into play or how it was a chain of packages building on top of another and all being interconnected or something I suppose. Of course I kept all the packages that those questions asked by the yast software component. it even asked about openjdk or some weird stuff. I all kept those packages as I only remembered ticking off the python311 named packages in that ecsos repo with calibre. To the end before the yast software management started to run, it checked all those depending packages and eventually started off to work At the end, I kind of ended up with an empty KDE start menu and many of my pinned start symbols on the KDE tray or so (firefox, dolphin etc...) vanished or are now only a grey sheet symbol. Additionally the network (wifi) kind of turned itself off and vanishes, networkmanager or so seems gone, and even zypper ( i suppose /usr/bin/zypper ) doesnt come up any more. So quite a mess happened I didnt intend to I am so frustrated of myself and too liddle knowledge and experience. The affected system (15.5) is still up in KDE desktop, I can still fire up a konsole and e.g. midnightcommander and some stuff still works. To maybe make things worse? this system is full-disk-encrypted, just the normal way the 15.5 installer or was it the 15.4 installer back then offered with btrfs and snapshots. Could I simply reboot or turn off this system and maybe save my neck by reverting to a snapshot or something? I hope it did not kill the basic parts that I can boot somewhat into this fde grub menu and select an earlier snapshot there? i never tried this snapshot stuff before. This is kind of a hope, or any other hints on this matter? i can still attach an USB key to the machine although it doesnt automount it into the KDE session any more etc, but I guess i could make it work. maybe mount the 15.5 iso in some way and make the system repair somehow? i wouldnt know on how to fix the whole system step by step bringing in zypper or repos from the iso or whatnot? even wired ethernet seems to be off, no dhcp wise, although it still has a link and gets a linklocal ipv6 fe80: address or what that is called? but no ipv4 dhcp stuff and no global unicast ipv6 though. still zypper is gone or i dont find it? I compared a slowroll where zypper comes from there, but its not the same path on 15.5 or it is gone :( any good starters on this situation? thanks for any hints in helping me saving and repair this machine. ty.

slowroll (with e.g. firefox 119.0) wants to downgrade like 500+ packages....
by cagsm 17 Nov '23

17 Nov '23

Support, suddenly today, a normal working slowroll, with firefox 119.0, zypper ref and zypper dup wants to download like 640+ packages, wants to downgrade 500+ packages with firefox 118.0 rpm being downloaded. is slowroll somehow being re-spun, re-based or whatnot special expert wording and technical terms, or is something else amiss. this slowroll installation has been working nicely on a new x64 amd laptop the recent weeks. i have normal slowroll repos, the h264/cisco stuff and the update gage repo/metadata errors when refresh today but the rest acted as i described above. repos as described here, all normal, simple basic kde desktop setup. > <https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Slowroll> anyone? thanks.

gimp in 15.5 black text on black background
by Felix Miata 17 Nov '23

17 Nov '23

Since upgrading from 15.4 to 15.5, $subject describes all the input fields in trying to scale, making it impossible to edit whatever they contain. Does this need some settings change to fix? Is some kind of theme or package change needed? Something else? -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science. Team OS/2 ** Reg.
