Problem with vpnc connection
by Axel Braun 15 Jan '24

15 Jan '24

Hi, I have one working VPN conection to a FritzBox in Germany. Created already long time ago. I now added a second VPN connection. On attempt to connect it instantly reports X1E NetworkManager[15459]: /usr/sbin/vpnc: unknown host `xxbgbieemnmfx698.myfritz.net' although I can ping this host (only accessible with IPv6) Thats a bit strange. Any idea what the issue with vpnc may be? Cheers Axel

Mouse cursor size/color

Currently running OpenSuse 15.4 with KDE(will be using 15.5 on my new computer as soon as I transfer my files over). In older versions of KDE, it was easy to change the mouse cursor size, color, etc. I've been searching and can't seem to find that anymore. Can the mouse cursor still be modified? If so, how. Thanks, Mark -- The height of insignificance is being none in a million.

Leap 15.5 in VMware - GUI fails to start after updates
by Jim Henderson 04 Jan '24

04 Jan '24

I've got a test system in VMware Workstation 17.5 that, after applying the updates released since 2023-11-12, hangs upon reaching the start of the Locale service. It's not a "hard hang" - I can't toggle VTs in the VM, but I can connect via SSH. I've been able to reproduce this with a fresh installation as well from the most recent Net install ISO (also in VMware). Adding 'nomodeset' to the kernel line in grub gets me to a text login on tty1, but Xorg still fails to start. Looks like a segfault. The /var/log/Xorg.0.log is at https://paste.opensuse.org/pastes/ e8722dd3b81a I've added locks for xorg-x11-server, xorg-x11-server-extra, and xorg-x11- server-Xvfb (the three Xorg packages that show up for updates), but the system still fails to get to a GUI target. What other information would be useful to diagnose this issue? -- Jim Henderson Please keep on-topic replies on the list so everyone benefits

iptables not showing a udp port allowance that is set in firewall-cmd and yast firewall settings?
by cagsm 03 Jan '24

03 Jan '24

Support, 15.5, simple. one ethernet card, being set to external network zone. firewall-cmd lists one extra udp entry that I have set via the yast firewall settings. I wonder why or how I find it in raw iptables command? iptables -S nor iptables-save shows no such udp port definition. ------------------ # sudo firewall-cmd --list-all external (active) target: default icmp-block-inversion: no interfaces: eth0 sources: services: ssh ports: 12345//udp protocols: forward: no masquerade: yes forward-ports: source-ports: icmp-blocks: rich rules: ------------- sudo iptables -S [sudo] password for root: -P INPUT ACCEPT -P FORWARD ACCEPT -P OUTPUT ACCEPT -N f2b-sshd -A INPUT -p tcp -m multiport --dports 22 -j f2b-sshd -A f2b-sshd -j RETURN ---------------------------------- very simple setup. anyone know what the heck is happening? external zone allows tcp/ssh for external access as a simple rule. that is being shown in all of these commands. the additional one single udp port is not being shown :( anyone? TY.

Anything one could do except (cold) restart? Cheers Axel

Kudos to OpenSUSE 15.5
by Mark D. Neidorff 21 Dec '23

Happy Holidays, When major upheaval come along with an OS upgrade, I've learned from many years of experience that waiting is the safest bet. What I'm typing about in this case is the switch from bios to uefi. I put it off, and put it off...and in the process put off learning all about UEFI (its "documentation" isn't documentation, it is a reference for people who already know all about UEFI--rant over). I purchased one of the small (12cm W X 4cm H X 11cm D), downloaded the latest LEAP to a DVD, Hooked up an external DVD drive...took several deep breaths (had my old system ready to look thing up, when needed) and started the install. Many KUDOS to the SUSE team for crafting an extremely smooth install. When it "sniffed out" what the setup was, it took over, and flew like a "bat out of hell". No issues with the install. Very smooth and well done. CONGRATS!!! to the many people who brought this about. Mark -- All the world's a stage, and I got the cheap seats.
