Hello Robert! Thanks for your double response! Sorry for my delayed reply, but I spent almost two days to get rid of the issue and finally I've sorted it out. I'm not using LVM here, but EXT-4 with an extended partition. I had to re-partitioning my HDD in order to have the number of sectors divisible by 8 as requested by my 1 Terabyte HDD Western Digital, which has the advanced format using 4096 bytes/Sector. Now I don't get anymore the "Boundary" warning message, by the way my partitions are not "disk ordered", due the fact that I had to rearrange everything on the fly using Gparted. I've read that this unordered partitions doesn't represent a problem in any form, so for the moment I will stay with it. (I'm including in this email the list "opensuse-support" as well, in order to update the topic in general and provide an update to Carlos in particular, since him has provided me some feedback's) #Current HDD onfiguration marco@linux-turion64:~> sudo fdisk -x [sudo] password di root: Disk /dev/sda: 931,51 GiB, 1000204886016 bytes, 1953525168 sectors Disk model: WDC WD10SPZX-22Z Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 4096 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes Disklabel type: dos Disk identifier: 0x5bc53d8b Dispositivo Avvio Start Fine Settori Id Tipo Start-C/H/S End-C/H/S Attrs /dev/sda1 * 2048 514047 512000 7 HPFS 0/32/33 31/254/31 80 /dev/sda2 1919971328 1953523711 33552384 82 Linu 1023/254/63 1023/254/63 /dev/sda3 976773120 1919971327 943198208 83 Linu 1023/254/63 1023/254/63 /dev/sda4 514048 976773119 976259072 f W95 31/254/32 1023/254/63 /dev/sda5 820649984 976773119 156123136 83 Linu 1023/254/63 1023/254/63 /dev/sda6 224763904 820647935 595884032 7 HPFS 1023/254/63 1023/254/63 /dev/sda7 516096 1437695 921600 7 HPFS 32/32/1 89/125/36 /dev/sda8 1439744 224761855 223322112 7 HPFS 89/158/6 1023/254/63 *Partition table entries are not in disk order.* And this was *before*: #Previous HDD configuration marco@linux-turion64:~> sudo fdisk -x Disk /dev/sda: 931,51 GiB, 1000204886016 bytes, 1953525168 sectors Disk model: WDC WD10SPZX-22Z Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 4096 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes Disklabel type: dos Disk identifier: 0x5bc53d8b Dispositivo Avvio Start Fine Settori Id Tipo Start-C/H/S End-C/H/S Attrs /dev/sda1 * 2048 1026036 1023989 7 HPFS 0/32/33 63/221/19 80 /dev/sda2 1026037 447673612 446647576 7 HPFS 63/221/20 218/100/23 /dev/sda3 447673613 449516792 1843180 27 Hidd 218/100/24 333/32/12 /dev/sda4 449516793 1953523118 1504006326 f W95 333/32/13 769/48/30 /dev/sda5 449516795 617287136 167770342 83 Linu 333/32/15 536/88/33 /dev/sda6 617287138 1918772938 1301485801 83 Linu 536/88/35 654/23/20 /dev/sda7 1918772940 1953521663 34748724 82 Linu 654/23/22 1023/254/63 Partition 2 does not start on physical sector boundary.

Help on wrong HDD partitioning after using Clonezilla
by Marco Calistri 01 Jun '22

01 Jun '22

Hello, This is not an openSUSE specific support request but it's related to a series of error messages I noticed after having cloned my older HDD 512/512 bytes/sector to a newer Western Digital HDD, which uses the advanced format 512/4096 bytes per sector. I would like to avoid that this sort of partitioning may affect the read/write IO rates. The errors I see are these: marco@linux-turion64:~> sudo fdisk -x Disk /dev/sda: 931,51 GiB, 1000204886016 bytes, 1953525168 sectors Disk model: WDC WD10SPZX-22Z Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 4096 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes Disklabel type: dos Disk identifier: 0x5bc53d8b Dispositivo Avvio Start Fine Settori Id Tipo Start-C/H/S End-C/H/S Attrs /dev/sda1 * 2048 1026036 1023989 7 HPFS 0/32/33 63/221/19 80 /dev/sda2 1026037 447673612 446647576 7 HPFS 63/221/20 218/100/23 /dev/sda3 447673613 449516792 1843180 27 Hidd 218/100/24 333/32/12 /dev/sda4 449516793 1953523118 1504006326 f W95 333/32/13 769/48/30 /dev/sda5 449516795 617287136 167770342 83 Linu 333/32/15 536/88/33 /dev/sda6 617287138 1918772938 1301485801 83 Linu 536/88/35 654/23/20 /dev/sda7 1918772940 1953521663 34748724 82 Linu 654/23/22 1023/254/63 Partition 2 does not start on physical sector boundary.

Partition 6 does not start on physical sector boundary. Partition 7 does not start on physical sector boundary. I have the original data on the older HDD and I would like to get the best suggestion in order to correct this issue. When I say "better", I mean less effort-cost and safe enough to avoid to lost data on the new HDD if possible despite I have the backup on previous disk. If you prefer you can send me the suggestions by private message. Thanks in advance! Best Regards, -- Marco Calistri Build: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20220523 Kernel: 5.17.9-1-default - Cinnamon 5.2.7

x2go immediately disconnects after connection
by Tristan Miller 01 Jun '22

01 Jun '22

Dear all, I've been using X2Go on a pair of openSUSE Tumbleweed systems. On 2022-05-23 I did a dist-upgrade on both and now I'm no longer able to run a remote application or desktop via X2Go -- the client successfully connects to the server but then immediately disconnects. There's nothing obvious in the client and server logs (even at debug-level verbosity) that explains the immediate disconnects -- I see the client successfully connecting to the server and then immediately disconnecting. (Still, I can provide the logs on request.) Some additional relevant pieces of information: * The problem occurs regardless which remote application or desktop I'm trying to run. I've tried xfce4-terminal, xterm, icewm, and others. * The client has no problem connecting to the Tumbleweed server directly via ssh -X and running remote applications. * The client has no problem connecting to an X2Go server running on a different machine running Leap 15.3. * X2Go itself was not updated in the dist-upgrade. * I've tried upgrading to the latest development versions of x2goserver and x2goclient but this hasn't helped. ( I am thinking that some security-hardening update may be at fault here. I tried temporarily disabling AppArmor on the server but that didn't work around the problem. And it doesn't look like the server's sshd_config file was touched in the dist-upgrade. Can anyone suggest any further troubleshooting steps? If anyone cares to do any testing themselves, my packages for the latest x2goserver, x2goclient, nx-libs, and pinentry-x2go are available at <https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/psych0naut:/x2go/openSUSE_…>.

Re: Request for Old ISO/Verification Hash
by Lubos Kocman 30 May '22

Hello fireclay! I'm bit afraid that we do not hold backups of files for rolling releases, It sort of makes sense as you can have up to 7 snapshots a week. I did check /backup on pontifex but unfortunatelly it was only for content of /var. If you feel confident that there could be more request like this one, you should probably write a proposal to admin(a)opensuse.org<mailto:admin@opensuse.org> to keep checksum files for e.g. 14 days or similar. I can imagine that this might be quite demanding feature in regions with low bandwidth, where people want to be sure-sure that their image was corrupted before downloading a new one. But then TW might not be the best fit in given environment. Dominique do you have thoughts on this one? Leap could use similar approach for quarterly updates.

15.4 boot failure - NVME / filesystem not found by latest kernel
by Felix Miata 25 May '22

25 May '22

UEFI booting. pi3p16s154 is nvme0n1p16 ext4 root filesystem LABEL. crypto is not employed anywhere on the PC. 5.14.21-150400.19 kernel boots normally. 5.14.21-150400.22 kernel is not recognizing USB stick insertion, so there's no way I know to get /run/initramfs/rdsosreport.txt onto a stick for susepasting, and susepaste isn't in the emergency shell. Neither does the shell include grep. I rebuilt initrd with add_dracutmodules+=debug but still no susepaste or grep, or lsblk, or fdisk, or improvement. Selected excerpts from rdsosreport.txt: systemd-modules-load.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'. Failed to start Load Kernel Modules. systemd-modules-load...Failed to look up module alias 'sg': Function not implemented condition check resulted in dracut pre-trigger hook being skipped dracut-initqueue...Warning: dracut-initqueue: timeout, still waiting for following initqueue hooks: /lib/dracut/hooks/initqueue/finished/devexists-/dev/disk/by-label-pi3p16s154.sh "if ! grep After=remote-fs-pre.target /run/systemd/generator/systemd-cryptsetup(a)*.service 2>/dev/null; then [ -e " /dev/disk/by-label/pi3p16s154" ] ... Warning: dracut-initqueue: starting timeout scripts Warning: Could not boot. systemd[1]: Starting Dracut Emergency Shell.... Is there anything above that suggests why the .22 initrd failed to enable nvme / filesystem to be found? https://paste.opensuse.org/57952814 is output from lsinitrd /boot/initrd. I did essentially the same dup to 15.4 a week ago on another PC with same Intel b250 chipset, also UEFI & nvme, and no trouble. I copied each of 3 .22 initrds from the first PC to the second. The first boots normally. The second not, initially stopping at starting dracut initqueue hook, winding up in emergency shell. So did the #3 initrd. The initrd from the update last week copied to today's also fails in same manner. The big difference between the two PCs: the problem PC contains 2 HDDs with multiple partitions, about half of which comprise several mdraid devices, none of which have anything to do with booting the problem 15.4 installation. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science.

Continue zypper dup now that 15.4 is RC?

Now that Leap 15.4 has reached RC status is it still recommended to use zypper dup until GM, or can one now achieve the same result with zypper patch or zypper up? -- Bob

Crashed install on filesystem package instalation
by Fodrek Peter ml. 24 May '22

24 May '22

Dear openSUSE experts, I have crahed system that I want to reinstall via USB install of Tumbleweed withou format partitions On the system there were/are some directory links with absolute path made like/in style of eg. mkdir /home/partOfShare mv /usr/share/"someDir" /home/partOfShare ln -s /home//partOfShare/"someDir" /usr/share I was recovered most of the install failures by replacing absolute links to relavive links via cd /usr/share ln -s ../../partOfShare/"someDir" . BUT during install there are failed install filesystem package with lua script fialed (:%prein/filesystem..") No such file o directory Only other erros are missing /bin/sh, even if there is working binary (not link) in /mnt/bin whene using installer. but every error message conatins %preinst I asume that %postinst may be problem as well. I cannot find content of %preinst variable, so I cannot find which directory to check for bad link. I there anzbody who is able and allowed to send me directorz where to find content of %preinst variable, please? Thank you for any data that helps me to find not corect path I look forward hearing from you Yours faithfullz Peter Fodrek,j.j.

Which repository to use for postfix-policyd-spf-perl on Leap 15.4 in Raspberry Pi 4B
by Freek de Kruijf 24 May '22

24 May '22

Searching for the package postfix-policyd-spf-perl for Leap 15.4 architecture armv7l, I found: https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/perl/ with version for almost all openSUSE versions: openSUSE_Leap_15.0 till openSUSE_Leap_15.3, and SLE_15 till SLE_15_SP4, but Leap 15.4 is only mentioned as 15.4. Fortunately it is a noarch packet, so most likely they are all almost the same. But still, is this last one meant for Leap 15.4? It would be more consistent if it is named openSUSE_Leap_15.4. -- fr.gr. member openSUSE Freek de Kruijf
