nice surprise - old nvidia (G04) working with kernel 6.7 on tumbleweed
by Matthew 03 Feb '24

03 Feb '24

Hello, Just thought I'd share that the old (legacy) nvidia drivers/kernel modules (G04 version, see list below for more info) are building, loading, and working (for me) on Tumbleweed using the 6.7.* kernel series. So if you are still running legacy nvidia hardware and have locked your kernel into a version from the 5.9 series (because the 6.6.series were known not to work), you might give the latest version a try (6.7.2-1-default, as of when I wrote this). %> zypper se -i nvidia ... i+ | nvidia-computeG04 | NVIDIA driver for computing with GPGPU | package i+ | nvidia-gfxG04-kmp-default | NVIDIA graphics driver kernel module for GeForce 400 series and newer | package i+ | nvidia-glG04 | NVIDIA OpenGL libraries for OpenGL acceleration | package i+ | x11-video-nvidiaG04 | NVIDIA graphics driver for GeForce 400 series and newer | package Hope this is useful info, Matthew

by -pj 30 Jan '24

30 Jan '24

Hi, after an update to Tumbleweed snapshot 20240125, the Login window entry field key character input and identification field listings are blank. In fact everything is blank for that matter including the user image. KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.10 KDE frameworks Version: 5.114.0 Qt Version: 5.15.12 Kernel Version: 6.7.1-1-pae (32-bit) Graphics Platform: X11 - Here's a picture of the current login window: https://paste.opensuse.org/pastes/c19b6215f700 Any thoughts on what or which package(s) caused this issue? Still able to login after entering password. -Regards

Where to report this problem, KDE or Bugzilla?
by -pj 30 Jan '24

30 Jan '24

Hi, After suspending then unsuspending the machine here. Prior open application titlebars are faded (grey in color) and path/location information on the title bar (left side) are a /barely/ legible faded grey in color as well. In order to see the active titlebar description correctly again, I have to open a new instance of the application or any application for that matter. This is going on with applications ranging from Kate to Firefox to KeepassXC. What is going on here? I am using only the default themes and colors found in the KDE desktop appearance options. Minimize and maximizing the window/s itself has no correction to the titlebars display. -Thanks

dhcpd migration to kea
by Togan Muftuoglu 28 Jan '24

28 Jan '24

Hi, As ISC has eoled dhcpd server and suggests kea instead, for the new server I am planning to switch to kea. AFAIK kea is not supporting LDAP but since I am not using it not an issue. Has any one made the migration and if so can you share the issues or experiences with kea compared to dhcpd server. Thanks Togan

rmt-cli mirror custom tumbleweed repo fails with gpg no public key error
by G McAlister 27 Jan '24

27 Jan '24

I use the repository mirroring tool (rmt) to maintain local copies of leap repositories (currently 15.4 and 15.5). I am trying to add the tumbleweed repositories to my local set but the rmt-server-mirror service fails with the following in the logs: Jan 26 10:06:40 rmt rmt-cli[1357]: WARN: GPG command: gpg --homedir /tmp/rmt-mirror-gpg20240126-1357-11gdkuz --no-default-keyring --keyring /tmp/rmt-mirror-gpg20240126-1357-11gdkuz/keyring --verify /tmp/d20240126-1357-oemuy5/repodata/repomd.xml.asc /tmp/d20240126-1357-oemuy5/repodata/repomd.xml 2>&1 Jan 26 10:06:40 rmt rmt-cli[1357]: WARN: GPG output: gpg: Signature made Wed Oct 11 10:51:21 2023 BST Jan 26 10:06:40 rmt rmt-cli[1357]: gpg: using RSA key 35A2F86E29B700A4 Jan 26 10:06:40 rmt rmt-cli[1357]: gpg: Can't check signature: No public key Jan 26 10:06:40 rmt rmt-cli[1357]: WARN: The following errors occurred while mirroring: Jan 26 10:06:40 rmt rmt-cli[1357]: WARN: Repository 'tw_update' (tw_update): Error while mirroring metadata: GPG signature verification failed.

Any thoughts on this?

Resume often fails with Nvidia graphics
by Bjoern Voigt 23 Jan '24

23 Jan '24

In the last months I often had the issue, that resume from hibernate fails. This is probably caused by a configuration issue with my Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 Ti, but I am not sure. The configuration follows the recommendations in the NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-545.29.02/README.txt file, chapter "Chapter 21. Configuring Power Management Support". I use the Nvidia RPM drivers 545.29.06 from nvidia-tumbleweed. # cat /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia.conf options nvidia NVreg_PreserveVideoMemoryAllocations=1 NVreg_TemporaryFilePath=/var/tmp The "dmesg" output shows a message "PreserveVideoMemoryAllocations module parameter is set. System Power Management attempted without driver procfs suspend interface. Please refer to the 'Configuring Power Management Support' section in the driver README." during resume. # dmesg -T [Wed Jan 10 16:43:51 2024] PM: Using 3 thread(s) for decompression [Wed Jan 10 16:43:51 2024] PM: Loading and decompressing image data (1118391 pages)...

[slowroll] ## packages are going to be [downgraded,reinstalled]
by Felix Miata 22 Jan '24

This seems to be pretty routine here: # zypper -v dup ... The following 2 packages are going to be upgraded: ... The following 42 packages are going to be downgraded: ... The following 24 packages are going to be reinstalled: ... The following NEW package is going to be installed: ... The following 8 packages are going to be REMOVED: ... 2 packages to upgrade, 42 to downgrade, 1 new, 24 to reinstall, 8 to remove. Overall download size: 1.3 MiB. Already cached: 26.2 MiB. After the operation, 14.5 MiB will be freed. Continue? [y/n/v/...? shows all options] (y): Is this routine for most people running Slowroll, both lots of downgrades, and lots of reinstallations? It seems rather like churning more than upgrading. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science. Team OS/2 ** Reg.

openSUSE KDE Live Rescue links failing:
by -pj 17 Jan '24

17 Jan '24

Hi, I do not know better where to report this right now. https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Tumbleweed_installation#LiveCDs/Rescue_CD is unable to complete provide download for the following: KDE Live CD - i686 .iso *and* it's GPG signed sha-256. Is this because the 32 bit is not being maintained? Is there a i686 Live KDE Rescue CD available at another location? Where is the best place to locate checksums to verify these particular sha.256 files? Is the main Live DVD a better solution (for troubleshooting) generally since it provides network connection capability?😕 Thanks
