Support, what does it mean when the openSUSE-release-ftp and kernel package appear agaon today? some leap 15.6 machine was already up to date last week and had all these packages but today or so zypper lu shows these packages appearing again kind of a rerelease or so? what does this mean? is this some post-final fixing or rerelease or reissuing ot syncing to the suse linux enterprise service pack level 6 or something happening? think that the -ftp package came in last week even multiple times and today again and even the kernel. the changelog of these packages dont show current date stuff that would hint anything trying to make sense of how opensuse release and packages and stuff works. ty

VT prompt litter on fresh 15.6 installation
by Felix Miata 24 Jun '24

24 Jun '24

Please tell me how to stop VTs from spewing SSH host keys prior to login prompt. I've seen this happen before, but have no recollection what causes it. There is nothing I see in /usr/lib/issue.d/ that I recognize as suggesting it. /etc/issue.d/10-openSUSE.conf contains "Welcome to \S - Kernel \r (\l)", but what doc explains? Man issue draws a null. -- 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

cockpit on 15.6, Sudo: unable to run /nonexistent/libexec/cockpit-askpass: No such file or directory sudo: no password was provided sudo: a password is required

Support, cockpit on 15.6 > Problem becoming administrator > Sudo: unable to run /nonexistent/libexec/cockpit-askpass: No such file or directory sudo: no password was provided sudo: a password is required Never used cockpit before. Similar like webmin or so? I can only log into cockpit with a local normal user using for KDE desktop as well. Inside cockpit it tells me that it is restricted mode or something and some root stuff is missing coming up with a popup when I click that blue topmost notification or button with text given: "turn on administrative access". the result is that stated error message popup. Anyone running this successfully? ty

Glitches on desktop
by Jogchum Reitsma 18 Jun '24

18 Jun '24

Hi, Since the change to Plasma6 there are still some glitches on my TW-system. One of them is that, if I go to the Properties of an program icon in the desktop folder, and close the window, the icon disappears from the desktop folder. This happens also if I don't change anything: just opening the Properties window and closing it is enough. All return if I log out and log in again. Another thing is that I don't see a way of moving the desktop folder around the screen: I can't find a handle of any type for it. Not a disaster, but yet annoying... Anyone an idea to correct this behavior? regards, Jogchum

1-issue-generator not generating; 2-last login absent
by Felix Miata 16 Jun '24

16 Jun '24

I have multiple installations where I removed issue-generator for some period until I decided to reverse my attitude about it. The main idea was, and remains, I don't want to see IP addresses onscreen with VT logins. Now I have some installations where even though it has been reinstalled, login prompts on VTs are simply hostname login: on an otherwise blank screen until such time as I systemctl start issue-generator.service Also on all these installations, logging in fails to report date last logged in. Reinstalling issue-generator hasn't helped. # inxi -S System: Host: msi85 Kernel: 6.6.30-1-longterm arch: x86_64 bits: 64 Console: pty pts/0 Distro: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20240514 # systemctl list-units --type target --state active | grep graphical # systemctl status graphical.target ○ graphical.target - Graphical Interface Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/graphical.target; indirect; preset: disabled) Active: inactive (dead) Docs: man:systemd.special(7) # dmesg | grep issue # journalctl -b | grep issue # systemctl list-unit-files | grep issue issue-generator.path enabled enabled issue-add-ssh-keys.service disabled disabled issue-generator.service enabled enabled # ls -glG /etc/issue.d/* /etc/motd.d/* /etc/motd /etc/issue /run/issue ls: cannot access '/etc/motd': No such file or directory ls: cannot access '/run/issue': No such file or directory lrwxrwxrwx 1 12 Apr 29 2022 /etc/issue -> ../run/issue -rw-r--r-- 1 0 Aug 18 2021 /etc/issue.d/70-eth0.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 0 Aug 18 2021 /etc/issue.d/90-openSUSE.conf -rw-rw-r-- 1 27 Oct 3 2015 /etc/motd.d/welcome # cat /etc/issue.d/* /etc/motd.d/* /etc/motd /etc/issue /run/issue Have a lot of MSI85 fun... cat: /etc/motd: No such file or directory cat: /etc/issue: No such file or directory cat: /run/issue: No such file or directory # How can these installations be troubleshot?

haveged often with updated files pending immediately after a reboot - zypper ps
by cagsm 12 Jun '24

12 Jun '24

Support, on a current leap, maybe even observed on 15.6, after a fresh reboot of the leap machine, zypper ps , shows that haveged is apparently pending with new files or updated stuff, similarly when updates and patches arrive via zypper, and zypper ps lists then quite a lot of processes or services that can approve of a restart of their stuff. [1] now i wonder, why does a haveged service has pending or updates files right after a normal reboot. how come? ty.

Strange behavior to login in Tumbleweed
by Freek de Kruijf 10 Jun '24

10 Jun '24

When trying to login om tty1 I get the prompt and enter root, but instead of getting asked for the password, I get "Login incorrect". When loging in using sddm on tty2, the session starts on tty3 and after ending the session and logging in again even on tty4. Anyone else seeing this behavior? I updated the system to VERSION_ID="20240607". -- fr.gr. member openSUSE Freek de Kruijf

Raspberry Pi 4 Does not remember shutdown time
by Jonas Kvinge 06 Jun '24

06 Jun '24

Hi, I'm running the RPI4 Tumbleweed JeOS image (https://en.opensuse.org/HCL:Raspberry_Pi4) on a RPI CM4. Unlike Raspberry Pi OS, it does not remember the shutdown time, it always shows May 16 on boot until chrony has set the correct time. Log from booting now: May 16 10:01:20 localhost kernel: Booting Linux on physical CPU 0x0000000000 [0x410fd083] May 16 10:01:20 localhost kernel: Linux version 6.9.1-1-default (geeko@buildhost) (gcc (SUSE Linux) 13.2.1 20240509 [revision b7a2697733d19a093cbdd0e200ffce069a4bc812], GNU ld (GNU Binutils; openSUSE Tumbleweed) 2.42.0.20240130-3) #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Fri May 17 11:59 ni211:~ # uptime 11:37:41 up 19 days 1:36, 1 user, load average: 0.97, 0.47, 0.18 Any solution to this?

sane (sane-airscan) not working
by Andreas Croci 05 Jun '24

05 Jun '24

I posted this question on the sane-devel list a few weeks ago and Johannes Meixner was so kind as to point me to a possible solution, but that didn't work. Since I'm having this problem only with openSUSE machines, I now think this is actually the right list to ask. I have a multifunction printer Canon MF746Cx. I also have several machines, relevant are one bare-metal Ubuntu 22.04, one VM Kali 2024, one VM Debian 12, both running under openSUSE Leap 15.5 with KVM, the bare openSUSE Leap 15.5 and one bare-metal Tumbleweed. Like said, on all three Debian-based machines, scanning just works out of the box. On both openSUSE machines, it doesn't. I have installed for Leap and TW the sane-airscan package from https://software.opensuse.org/search?baseproject=ALL&q=airscan as suggested by Johannes Meixner in the other mailing list. One thing I have noticed is that in both openSUSE machines "airscan-discover -d" only "tries" the network address of the machine itself: it seems not to "go out of the machine", whereas in the Debian-based machines it scans the entire network. Could it be a firewall/apparmour/selinux problem? Any suggestion would be most appreciated. Thank you.
