[opensuse-support] A stop job is running for User Manager for UID 0 (nnnnnnnnn/2min)
by Felix Miata 20 Mar '19

20 Mar '19

This huge reboot/shutdown delay is highly annoying. When shutdown needs to happen, it needs to happen now, not at the whim of systemd. I haven't figured out what triggers it, but it seems like maybe something that happens during zypper dup related to KDM(3 or 4) or Plasma5. It doesn't always happen. Last to happen here was on TW20190314 host big31 on first post-dup boot. What make ps -A produce " 983 ? 00:00:00 (sd-pam)"? What exactly is "User Manager"? Is this just happening to me? -- Evolution as taught in public schools is religion, not science. Team OS/2 ** Reg. Linux User #211409 ** a11y rocks!

[opensuse-support] package database corruption
by DennisG 20 Mar '19

20 Mar '19

After having run a routine YaST Online Update, somehow my package database appears to have gotten corrupted. Specifically, I have ~30 packages where YaST/zypper thinks that the older (replaced) version is still installed and therefore should be deleted. The new version was installed in the update, and YaST Software shows that as the installed version. However, when YaST/zypper attempts to delete that older version, it fails because that version is no longer found on the system. Yet when I run "zypper se -s", it reports that both versions are installed. If I tell zypper to rm the older version with the -f (force) option, it errors on being unable to find it. If I tell zypper to delete the entire package (so I can just reinstall the new version), it again returns an error saying that it cannot find it, displaying the old version number. Forcing a reinstall again installs the newest version, but the problem still exists. I've checked the dates on a sampling of files from these packages, and they are the newest, so the initial updates were done correctly. The old package versions and the old files indeed do not exist - except in the mind of libzypp. I assume that the package database is somehow corrupted. What can I do to correct this problem?

Hi *, any idea, what ima: impossible to appraise a kernel image without a file descriptor; try using kexec_file_load syscall. means? I get this message on my Tumbleweed machines since kernel 5.x.

This is way too advanced for Leap 15.0. In which sense? You may also want newer versions of system utilities like iproute2 or ethtool if you want access to some new features but in general, kernel is relatively independent of the rest of the system. I'm using Kernel:stable kernel on one of my 15.0 systems (and Kernel:HEAD on another, but that's mostly to test it) and there is no obvious incompatibility. > <http://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/oss/x86_64/> has > version 5.

This is where kernel for Tumbleweed is submitted from so there is not much of a difference. Kernel:stable is a bit ahead, usually few days but it can be up to 2-3 weeks when switching to a new version. And with Tumbleweed, you know the kernel has passed openQA automatic tests so that the risk that it's seriously broken is lower. As for the out-of-tree (or even closed source) modules, there is no difference: neither Kernel:stable nor Tumbleweed kernels preserve kABI or (kernel) API so that you have to expect problems form time to time. > <https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/openSUSE-15.0/stan > dard/x86_64/> has the same version as Leap. The relationship between Kernel:openSUSE-15.0 and Leap 15.0 updates similar to Kernel:stable vs. Tumbleweed repository, i.e. the former are daily snapshots built from the git branch.

[opensuse-support] Weird kernel message during boot
by Neil Rickert 16 Mar '19

16 Mar '19

Tumbleweed (64-bit) at 20190314: The following lines are from "dmesg" output: [ 1.774479] Couldn't get size: 0x800000000000000e [ 1.774490] fbcon: Taking over console [ 1.774491] MODSIGN: Couldn't get UEFI db list [ 1.774513] Couldn't get size: 0x800000000000000e [ 1.774515] Couldn't get UEFI MokListRT [ 1.774535] Couldn't get size: 0x800000000000000e [ 1.774536] Couldn't get UEFI dbx list I am seeing 4 of those lines on the screen in early boot (before prompted for LUKS passphrase. The lines on the boot screen are the three "Couldn't get size" lines and the "MODSIGN" line. It is not causing problems, and I am ignoring for now. But I'm posting this in case they matter. I see these only with the 5.0 kernel. I did not see them with the previous 4.20 kernels. I do not see this with a legacy BIOS. I do not see this with a 64-bit UEFI BIOS. I only see it with a 32-bit UEFI BIOS ("ia32"). I should add that this is on a KVM virtual machine, with the OVMF UEFI firmware. I do not have a physical machine with ia32 firmware. My best guess is that the kernel sees that this is a UEFI system but fails to recognize that it is using 32-bit UEFI rather than 64-bit UEFI. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-support] kernel: pstore: Unknown compression: deflate

Hi *, I updated one of my openSUSE Leap 15.0 servers to kernel 5.0.2-2.gd1f1d19-default today. Everything seems to work ok - and it is significantly faster, especially regarding network performance. I get one error message during boot, though: kernel: zswap: loaded using pool lzo/zbud perth kernel: pstore: Unknown compression: deflate I couldn't find any information for this message. Any idea, how to solve it? TIA. Bye.
