LaserJet won't print from this OpenSUSE-TW computer. (It did, but not now.) Print jobs get stuck in the queue. lprm will only remove stuck items one at a time--I thought that it would delete all the queues at once, but it won't. Root lprm -P (printer name) needed to clear all the queues one at a time. Ping of that printer produces an error: doug@linux1:~> ping 192.168.1.29 ERROR: ld.so: object 'libesets_pac.so' from /etc/ld.so.preload cannot be preloaded (cannot open shared object file): ignored.

Ping from the other computer shows no error. I don't know what to do next. Suggestions? --doug

If you do a reinstall, read this: <https://doc.opensuse.org/documentation/leap/startup/single-html/book-opensuse-startup/index.html#sec-osuse-installquick> Section 1.1.2.8 Local User This paragraph pertains to you: «If you install on a system where a previous Linux installation was found, you may Import User Data from a Previous Installation. Click Choose User for a list of available user accounts. Select one or more user.» Section 3.7 Partitioning Use "Guided Setup". Somewhere in that screen or in the expert partitioner there is an entry to import a previous layout. USE IT. If you don't find it, ASK. Then make sure that "/" is selected to be formatted, and that /home is not. That way, you keep your entire home partition untouched. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.2 x86_64 at Telcontar)

Note that once a computer has been compromised you can never trust anything on it again. Malware can hide in places in user data that would survive an operating system re-install. The disks, all of them, should be slicked and the operating system installed from scratch. User data should be restored from backups after checking for malware. If there's no backup I'd boot the system from the rescue disk, mount a different disk and copy /home to that temporary disk. Does the openSUSE rescue system contain clamav? If not, maybe load knoppix or something so that the temporary disk can be scanned with clamav and rkhunter. At any rate, the process is rather complicated and can still fail if you accidentally restore an ods file containing a foul macro, or something. So you want to be really sure that you have a problem before going down that path or all your time could be wasted. Regards, Lew

The computer was not compromised, IMNSHO (maybe his Amazon account was, but that is different and unrelated, unless there are more unknowns). He simply pointed the browser to <https://localhost:631> instead of <http://localhost:631>, got a security warning and freaked, because about the same time he got the mail from Amazon. There is no relationship. Try it yourself. The warning is normal, it is a self signed certificate, and has to be ignored, or switch to normal http. He is not the first person to be surprised by that security warning from Firefox. Do try yourself. It is is harmless, but you know that if it were an external site, it would be important. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.2 x86_64 at Telcontar)

...so something is messed up?
man lprm: Cancel all jobs: lprm -
The linker reports an issue. Try zypper se --provides libesets_pac to check which package is broken. Try if zypper dup fixes it.
The printer responds, so network seems to work. Does the cups frontend on localhost:631 work? HTH Axel

This has happened a number of times in the past few weeks for no apparent reason. No movement of mouse or input from k/b does anything. Num Lock and Caps Lock lights on k/b flash. Needs cold reboot. I don't know but don't know but don't think this is related to printer problem. Perhaps need to fix this first? Thanx--doug

....so you have a problem with your TW, and it would be interesting to see where it comes from. I did not see a similar issue (crash during zypper dup) on one of the three TW Laptops I run. Fix this first before continuing....

See my prev message. libesets_pac.so is not from openSUSE. Google indicates it is an "ESETS" file; note filename This is probably coming from your having installed NOD32. May be misconfiguration or this may be ok but there is some incompatibility with another app; Snap, Rummina, and Windows RDP are mentioned as possibilities. There are also claims of this interfering with USB and video. and so possibly other services, too - could be the source of other problems you're having, given how some AV scanners hook into the system. These threads give some pointers: https://forum.eset.com/topic/14226-error-message/ https://forum.eset.com/topic/7097-log-in-show-ldso-object-libesets_pacso-fro... https://forum.eset.com/topic/14226-error-message/ I saw that an ESET NOD32 update fixed this problem for some. Maybe try that, or just uninstall it. --dg

I'm using 3.19 on Leap 15.2. I installed 3.20.11 from OBS, which is the current TW version. Both run fine here. But you're on TW, I can't help with dependency problems there. Given your ESETS issue, I would focus on that first (see my other post). Once that is resolved, I strongly suggest working on getting HPLIP installed - it is a very good tool for managing HP printers. --dg
