Problem configuring GMail in Thunderbird on Leap 15.5
by Freek de Kruijf 13 Jun '23

13 Jun '23

According to the documentation is entering the GMail mail address and password enough to let Thunderbird configure the access to the IMAP service of GMail. However Thunderbird shows a message that it does not know how to do that. Thunderbird is installed from from the Main repository and has version 102.10.1. Anybody having more success? -- fr.gr. member openSUSE Freek de Kruijf

USB-ports stay closed using buttons ' start and escape ' simultaneously to start an other Linux
by Dr. Manfred Neubauer 13 Jun '23

13 Jun '23

Hallo, after updating, nothing has changed, USB-ports are still closed except a BIOS screen poped up immediately. BIOS gave no better results. Formerly an unknown passphrase poped up. I guess updatting the system lead to a change no longer demanding a passphrase but instead the BIOS sreen appeared. opening:( Settings ---->Sharing -----> Remote Login ( was open, could not be closed)( In the meantime I got an information: (Security Violation : Something is lousy going wrong) when I tried to close 'remote login' I got an information ' ssh linux local', try 'secure shell comand'. I think this is no longer my turn. I am a user and no developer. Has anybodythe same problem as me. I only try to start an other Linux from a stick but USB-ports remain closed. i work with Leap 15.5 Leap 15.3 I could start an other LInux without problems. dr.8 Kronos

Last edit to https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Pipewire was in November, also pre 15.5. It claims pipewire-pulseaudio is needed, but no pipewire package failed to install in its absence. I've since installed it, but nothing changed. I thought pipewire was supposed to replace pulseaudio? Since audio works, just not loud enough, it seems like some alsa setting may need adjusting, but if so, what? Any suggestions what's needed/missing? I tried susepaste alsa-info.txt multiple times, but they always generate 404s. :( Anyone know an alternate command-line pastebinner for openSUSE? -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science.

Howto report bugs or wishes to extra repositories?
by Bjoern Voigt 08 Jun '23

08 Jun '23

What is the best way to report bugs or wishes to extra repositories? I wanted to report a problem of security:netfilter repository. (The problem is already fixed in the meantime.) I believe that in the past there was a "report bug" menu point, but I do not find this menu point anymore. https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/security:netfilter https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/security:/netfilter/ Björn

when trying dup-ing to 15.5 there is still at least one key missing
by cagsm 08 Jun '23

08 Jun '23

Support, <https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:System_upgrade#0._New_4096_bit_RSA_signing_key> there is still a key missing what gives? :( the backports 15.5 URL triggers the missing key questionaire. why? why was this key omitted? when will actually all keys be finally included? will opensuse ever have a decent automatic way and built in piece of software that would manage an absolutely smooth and painless transition from one simple leap 15.x to the next 15.x+1 build? will we ever enjoy to see these fantastic features of a plain and painless upgrade? ty

Mirror error
by Luis M 07 Jun '23

07 Jun '23

Hi, after installing TW/Krypton, I changed the mirrors to http://provo-mirror.opensuse.org because the default one connected me to a mirror here in LATAM which was slow (it took about 2 hours to install). I was a few hours more using it, downloaded other packages and never launched new updates. A couple of days ago I went back to continue testing and it notifies me that there are +500 updates, I take a quick look and I realized that certain packages were going to be downgraded. I manually check the mirror and I notice that inside the unstable KDE repo there are two directories that are synchronized until Oct 2022 http://provo-mirror.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Unstable:/Applications/K… and http://provo-mirror.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Unstable:/Extra/KDE_Unst…. As I said the day I made the change did not show me any new update, so that de-synchronization happened later, I imagine it has to do with the problem that occurred a few days ago.

binutils doesn't seem to use LD_LIBRARY_PATH
by L A Walsh 05 Jun '23

05 Jun '23

in trying to use a different version of gcc/+libs/+binutils I have run into a problem -- namely that ld seems to use a hard coded path (or two): /home/devel/root/usr/bin> ldd ./ld ./ld: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.34' not found (required by ./ld) linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffcc6340000) libbfd-2.40.0.20230412-4.so => not found libctf.so.0 => not found libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x00007f724619b000) /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f7246c7a000) The 'ld' prog from binutils ignores LD_LIBRARY_PATH and points to the root to resolve libc, a few other libs that are not found and ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (hard-coded to /lib64 instead of using LD_LIBRARY_PATH Is this necessary?
