Cardreader keeps crashing
by Axel Braun 27 Dec '23

Hi, I have a SD card reader in my old ThinkPad T520. With curent TW I have an issue that the card reader crashes and reports a non- readable SD card, although the card is pretty OK See https://paste.opensuse.org/pastes/2ec91bfec203 Is there any known issue with recent kernels? Anything one could do except (cold) restart? Cheers Axel

Hi there, i have leap 15.5 here and would like to install an rpm package created with nfpm. When i want to remove the package with zypper rm, i get the error message that this package does not exist. i have no problems of this kind with rpm -i or rpm -e. i can install or uninstall the package without any problems. Question, why does zypper have these problems with uninstalling the package at this point? thx Stefan error: package haproxy-3.0.0~dev-dc0e1ab4-1.x86_64 is not installed (1/1) Removing haproxy-3.0.0~dev-dc0e1ab4-1.x86_64 ....................................................................................................[error] Removal of (176)haproxy-3.0.0~dev-dc0e1ab4-1.x86_64(@System) failed: Error: Subprocess failed.

Kudos to OpenSUSE 15.5
by Mark D. Neidorff 21 Dec '23

Happy Holidays, When major upheaval come along with an OS upgrade, I've learned from many years of experience that waiting is the safest bet. What I'm typing about in this case is the switch from bios to uefi. I put it off, and put it off...and in the process put off learning all about UEFI (its "documentation" isn't documentation, it is a reference for people who already know all about UEFI--rant over). I purchased one of the small (12cm W X 4cm H X 11cm D), downloaded the latest LEAP to a DVD, Hooked up an external DVD drive...took several deep breaths (had my old system ready to look thing up, when needed) and started the install. Many KUDOS to the SUSE team for crafting an extremely smooth install. When it "sniffed out" what the setup was, it took over, and flew like a "bat out of hell". No issues with the install. Very smooth and well done. CONGRATS!!! to the many people who brought this about. Mark -- All the world's a stage, and I got the cheap seats.

x11-video-nvidiaG06 renamed?
by Jogchum Reitsma 20 Dec '23

20 Dec '23

Hi, Just rebooted on after zypper dup'ing the latest snapshot, obs (open broadcast) refuses recording. When issued from the terminal, it complains about [h264_nvenc @ 0x559ce901fbc0] Driver does not support the required nvenc API version. Required: 12.0 Found: 11.1 [h264_nvenc @ 0x559ce901fbc0] The minimum required Nvidia driver for nvenc is 520.56.06 or newer In my system version 470<....> is present, part of the nvidiaG05 bundle. When I select the nvidiaG06 bundle, there is no X11-video-nvidiaG06 available as a replacement for the installed X11-video-nvidiaG05. On reddit.com I read it is renamed to nvidia-video G06, is that correct? regards, Jogchum

USB Ethernet Adapter?
by Lew Wolfgang 16 Dec '23

16 Dec '23

Hi Folks, We have a need to connect a second physical Ethernet adapter to a laptop. USB to Ethernet adapters are cheap, but does openSUSE have the suitable kernel modules to make it work? We can't use WiFi in this case due to policy constraints. Thanks for any advice you can offer. Regards, Lew

how to safely jump-start into opensuse (e.g. slowroll) about trusting keys, repos etc?
by cagsm 16 Dec '23

16 Dec '23

Support, today I have noticed that the slowroll wiki page <https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Slowroll> had listed changed URLs for the repositories. My slowroll was stuck on october 2023. I then removed all the previous (experimental and what not) URLs and added all according to the wiki page. So far so good. When doing then zypper ref it refreshed all repos except for one where it listed a security question about trusting a pgp / gpg? or repository key or signature or whatever correct wording for that situation was. It showed a long fingerprint and then asked me if to always trust, or temporarily or not at all etc. How do I decide such a question in a meaningful and valid way, how do I double check that information that is being presented there? I never understood so far, also observed previously other similar situations on the mailing lists, that essential security and trust related information is not thoroughly and prominently being communicated and presented on open / suse webpages for user base to be able to double check and verify against. Back then, some new? wiki page has been added also for opensuse at <https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Signing_Keys> but this doesnt? list that key or pgp or fingerprint stuff that the zypper command presented as far as I can tell. Is this really best practices for open source projects of letting the user base out alone in the dark, to make arbitrary decisions and unclear choices and so on? please do communicate all the security related basics and fundamental information always in advance, in a single or organized and structured place and please do tell me how do you guys all decide during such moments, how do you live with our without trust, verifiability etc Maybe I am just uneducated, to me it seems as if? nobody just never cares for such stuff. Why? In my universe, I try to establish some kind of chain of strust, on going to webpages of projects, of finding their security and project and organisational information and make educated? choices. maybe I am overestimating or exaggerating my own approach into this and the results and conclusions I end up with, so maybe I am all wrong. thanks lots.
