override blacklist HPFS in TW
by Felix Miata 14 Mar '22

14 Mar '22

What exactly needs to be in some file in /etc/modprobe.d/ to override /usr/lib/modprobe.d/60-blacklist_fs_hpfs.conf? Is copying it to /etc/modprobe.d/ as same name and commenting its contents, or emptying it, sufficient, superceding the same name file in the /usr/ tree? -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science.

Unable to mount virtio-fs shared directories since Tumbleweed 20220216 transactional-update
by bjurg orsku 10 Mar '22

10 Mar '22

Hi all, Host: Tumbleweed transactional-server Guest VM: Leap 15.3 (up to date) I'm unable to mount virtio-fs shared directories since Tumbleweed 20220216 transactional-update. The Guest VM is managed through libvirt tools and still work very well while the KVM host is running Tumbleweed 20220215. Here are higlights for the guest VM libvirt xml file: ---8<---------- <memoryBacking> <hugepages> <page size='2048' unit='KiB'/> </hugepages> <access mode='shared'/> </memoryBacking> --->8---------- ---8<---------- <filesystem type='mount' accessmode='passthrough'> <driver type='virtiofs' queue='1024'/> <binary path='/usr/libexec/virtiofsd' xattr='on'> <cache mode='none'/> <sandbox mode='namespace'/> <lock posix='on' flock='on'/> </binary> <source dir='/var/data/VG0-DATA'/> <target dir='VG0-DATA'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x07' slot='0x00' function='0x0'/> </filesystem> --->8---------- For historical reasons, VG0-DATA is an XFS filesystem on LVM2 on LUKS2 encrypted disk. I can't identify anything in the diff files of the snapshot changes that is responsible for this issue: https://openqa.opensuse.org/snapshot.../diff/20220215 --- https://openqa.opensuse.org/snapshot.../diff/20220216 Latest transactional-update still do not solve this problem, my only solution for now is to stay on snapshot 20220215. I would be very grateful to anyone who can point me to a solution. Regards,

Safely remove Apparmor?
by DennisG 22 Feb '22

22 Feb '22

I don't use Apparmor (installed by default), so I would like to remove it. There is an Apparmor Pattern which when deleted will remove package patterns-base-apparmor, but many apparmor packages remain. It appears all the apparmor packages (except for libapparmor1, a dependency for systemd) can be individually deleted by YaST, which is what I would prefer. Is that safe to do? TIA! --dg 15.3/Plasma

picture upload to openSUSE-wiki
by Axel Braun 22 Feb '22

Hello, I'm trying to include a picture into an article on the openSUSE-Wiki. I go to the upload box, select a local file (.png, with rw access), confirm that it is my work and hit 'upload'. Result: Something went wrong The path at which the stashed file should have been found was invalid. Are special authorisations required to upload pictures? Cheers Axel

Hi, after weekend I updated my work TW machine, and MS Teams doesn't start anymore... No message in console, just white square on screen and not working tray icon... I'm on KDE if it matters... Any idea what could go on? -- Vojtěch Zeisek https://trapa.cz/ Komunita openSUSE GNU/Linuxu Community of the openSUSE GNU/Linux https://www.opensuse.org/
