Strange nfs-problems
by Jogchum Reitsma 09 Apr '23

Hi, Since a couple of years I have a Hardkernel N2, running (actually booting) a Kodi implementation called CoreElec. That CoreElec is based on Ubuntu (I tried to run OpenSuse on the N2-box, but gave up in the end). All the media CoreElec should present are on an OpenSuse box, running TW. It nfs-mounts a few dir's on that TW box containing audio, video and pictures. That has worked years without problems. But since a few months, I can mount the nfs dirs, grab some content, and then transferring stops. Even worse, from that point on all other OpenSuse boxes with nfs-mount to that server lose their nfs-connections too. That I can only repair by rebooting the server. Systemd commands to restart the nfs deamon on the server hang endlessly, so that is no solution it seems. I've done some googling for finding log files for nfs, but found no answers so far. Any ideas here? Would be much appreciate (as always....) regards, Jogchum Reitsma

TW unable to boot 6.2 kernels

Hello, I have HP x2 210 G2 [1] (Intel Atom x5 Z8350) which I don't use often, so I hadn't noticed earlier. I have TW installed on it and when I try to boot so far any 6.2.X kernel I get an error like [2]: [ OK ] Reached target Local File Systems. Starting Early Kernel Boot Messages... [ T818 ] atomisp-isp2 0000:00:03.0: atomisp: Error -2 while requesting firmware shisp 2401a0_v21.bin [ T818 ] atomisp-isp2 0000:00:03.0: IUNIT power-off timeot. [ T818 ] atomisp-isp2 0000:00:03.0: Failed to switch off ISP And here the boot hangs forever. Kernel 6.1.12-1 is the last one which is working. How can I fix that? Sincerely, V.

Desktop background etc. gone

Hi, On a 15.2 box, KDE Plasma, suddenly the background of the (two) screens, the ordering of desktop icons, and, more pityful, also all the notes on the desktop are gone. Is there any chance to get that back? Does Plasma save older sessions, like e.g. firefox does? I can't find anything related in ~/.config/plasma* files. Any ideas? Thanks in advance, regards, Jogchum

It is intended to replace FAT32, removing some of its limitations. exFAT is a standard FS for SDXC memory cards. These utils/progs packages seem to be the same thing. Are they? Which should I install for making and maintaining USB sticks that both Win10 and Linux like? Other than exfat-utils has a newer latest release on github, what's the difference? Is fuse required additionally, or instead? Is it only intended for use with older kernels lacking exfat support? -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science. Team OS/2 ** Reg.
