No more available UIDs?
by Guadagnino Cristiano 02 Dec '21

02 Dec '21

Hi all, today while installing Citrix Workspace, the post-install script gave me this error: useradd: Can't get unique UID (no more available UIDs) useradd: can't create user So I examined the script, and saw that the command producing the error is this one: useradd -d /var/log/citrix citrixlog Trying to execute it at the cli gives the same error. This are the contents of /etc/login.defs FAIL_DELAY "2" GID_MAX "0" GID_MIN "0" PASS_MAX_DAYS "0" PASS_MIN_DAYS "0" PASS_WARN_AGE "0" UID_MAX "0" UID_MIN "0" Google does not help. What could be the problem? Thank you in advance Cris

SSH tunnelling
by Vojtěch Zeisek 30 Nov '21

30 Nov '21

Hi, I tried SSH tunnelling several times, but never made it to work, so might be time to start from scratch... I have in my office desktop running TW, at home notebook running TW, and in the office also Synology NAS running some (Debian- based?) Linux. The NAS has public as well as internal IP and I have fully admin control over it. I can SSH to the NAS and from it to the desktop. Fine. But I'd prefer direct connection (let's disregard VPN for a moment). I vaguely remember I'd have to open new SSH port on the NAS, but I'm not sure if I need there also extra SSH service...? And how I then tunnel from notebook to the desktop via NAS...? Thanks, V. -- Vojtěch Zeisek https://trapa.cz/ Komunita openSUSE GNU/Linuxu Community of the openSUSE GNU/Linux https://www.opensuse.org/

KWallet--how?
by dmcgarrett＠optonline.net 29 Nov '21

29 Nov '21

I'm going somewhat crazier than usual trying to use Thuderbird Mail because Thunderbird has blown up again, lost my password, won't let me put in a new one, the on-line instructions for fixing it (using Windows) don't seem to work anymore--I think they've "updated" it. I want to use KMail, but it wants KWallet, and I have been defeated trying to install that. Trying it cold didn't work, so I just tried https://duckduckgo.com/?q=short+guide+for+pam_kwallet&ia=web, from benediktg, ran sudo zypper pam_kwallet, and very carefully modified the three files it requests--/etc/pam.d//passwd, /etc/pam.d/login, and /etc/pam.d/sddm. I checked the "new" versions carefully, and I'm really pretty sure they agree with those posted. I put an icon on the desktop that's called "KWallet/Manager," by selecting it from the bowling ball, but when I click on the icon, nothing happens. Any helpful advice welcome. --doug PS--this mail routine from optimum.com is NOT user-friendly, in my humble opinion.

Leap 15.3 inkscape-inkscape-1.1.1-lp153.87.2 is not working
by michael.kasimir＠gmx.de 29 Nov '21

29 Nov '21

Hi all, after upgrade from 15.2 to 15.3, today I tried to start inkscape on my system but it could not be launched. Package version inkscape-1.1.1-lp153.87.2.x86_64.rpm If I try to run it in the terminal the following error messages are occuring: $ inkscape inkscape: error while loading shared libraries: libinkscape_base.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Apparently it should have to do with libinkscape_base.so I've no idea to solve the problem. Kind regards Michael Be Free, Be Linux

Re: Install of scanner software fails with message "Failed to activate hpaio"
by J Leslie Turriff 21 Nov '21

21 Nov '21

Today I noticed that after my most recent install of the OS I had not installed the scanner driver for my HP DeskJet F2210 printer/scanner. I started YaST Scanner and pointed it to the components for the F2210 scanner. It installed numerous QT5 libraries, hplip-devel, hplip-hpijs and hplip-sane, then failed with the "Failed to activate hpaio" message. I tried removing and reinstalling the hplip-* components, but it failed again the same way. Where should I look for more information to diagnose this?

Encrypting File System
by Marco Calistri 16 Nov '21

16 Nov '21

Hello, I collected very few documentation regarding file-system encryption on Linux. I understand that it must be done at format stage and not after the FS has been sized and installed, in order to prevent data loss. I would BTW like to ask here if, in case I decide to encrypt just my /home dir (separated partition) with the existing data it contains, which risks I'm gonna to face. Many thanks for your feedback.

TW: On-disk install fails, everything else works
by Parodper 14 Nov '21

14 Nov '21

Hi, I am currently on Debian with Linux 5.14.0. I wanted to try OpenSUSE, so I first downloaded the Tumbleweed GNOME Live image. Everything worked. Then I tried to install Tumbleweed. The installer correctly detected my trackpad, wifi card, and everything else. However, after the install nothing worked. A normal boot would get stuck on «Generating Static Devices» (paraphrased), so the only way to boot is to disable ACPI. This breaks a lot more things, but at least gets me to a prompt. My question would be; why does it only fail on the on-disk install, but work literally everywhere else? Thanks.
