[opensuse] 13.1 Virtualbox Stopped Working??? Looks like update killed it, but which? How to fix?

by David C. Rankin

All, I don't start VirtualBox often, but I have a number of depositions that I need to convert from e-transcript to pdf (which requires the windows based Reallegal e-trans viewer). Starting vbox today, I received: Implementation of the USB 2.0 controller not found! Because the USB 2.0 controller state is part of the saved VM state, the VM cannot be started. To fix this problem, either install the 'Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack' or disable USB 2.0 support in the VM settings (VERR_NOT_FOUND). It is obvious it thinks it is missing the extension pack, but I have never had this problem since 13.1 was released. Checking, I show to have the following installed: # rpm -qa | grep -i virtual | sort python-virtualbox-5.0.4-183.d_l_ocaml.1.x86_64 texlive-tex-virtual-academy-pl-2013.72.svn15878-11.2.1.noarch virtualbox-5.0.4-183.d_l_ocaml.1.x86_64 virtualbox-guest-kmp-desktop-4.3.12_k3.11.10_17-116.7.x86_64 virtualbox-guest-kmp-desktop-4.3.12_k3.11.10_17-116.8.x86_64 virtualbox-guest-kmp-desktop-4.3.14_k3.11.10_17-117.3.x86_64 virtualbox-guest-kmp-desktop-4.3.14_k3.11.10_21-121.2.x86_64 virtualbox-guest-kmp-desktop-4.3.14_k3.11.10_21-121.6.x86_64 virtualbox-guest-kmp-desktop-5.0.4_k3.11.10_29-183.d_l_ocaml.1.x86_64 virtualbox-guest-tools-5.0.4-183.d_l_ocaml.1.x86_64 virtualbox-guest-x11-5.0.4-183.d_l_ocaml.1.x86_64 virtualbox-host-kmp-desktop-4.3.12_k3.11.10_17-116.7.x86_64 virtualbox-host-kmp-desktop-4.3.12_k3.11.10_17-116.8.x86_64 virtualbox-host-kmp-desktop-4.3.14_k3.11.10_17-117.3.x86_64 virtualbox-host-kmp-desktop-4.3.14_k3.11.10_21-121.2.x86_64 virtualbox-host-kmp-desktop-4.3.14_k3.11.10_21-121.6.x86_64 virtualbox-host-kmp-desktop-5.0.4_k3.11.10_29-183.d_l_ocaml.1.x86_64 virtualbox-qt-5.0.4-183.d_l_ocaml.1.x86_64 This is the first time I've used openSuSE rpms verses using the one from the virtualbox site. What/where do I check first to find out why USB has been lost? Do I need to uninstall vbox 5 and try dropping back to the latest 4? Time critical help needed.... -- David C.

[opensuse] SSD device not recognized by Leap42.1

by don fisher

I receive a 1.5 minute timeout on boot because the system does not recognize my disk drive. In Yast2, if I run Boot Loader I get the following error message. I had to copy by hand:-( Why can't I cut and paste it? Internal error. Please report a bug report with logs. Details: Unknown udev device /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-1ATA_Samsung_SSD_840_EVO_1TB_SiD9NSAFB28745F-part2 Caller: /usr/share/Yast2/lib/bootloader/udev_mapping.rb:42:in 'to_kernel_device" What should be done? What logs does the message refer to? Nothing appears relevant in dmsg.

[opensuse] 13.2 LUKS boot problem (new, circa 16th December 2015)

by listreader

Howdy... I have a system that mounts at boot two LUKS-encrypted partitions. Both swap and home are encrypted, with different passwords. Ordinarily, I am asked at boot for the passwords, one at a time, each time in an unlabeled graphical box consisting of a data-entry field and a padlock icon. Though the box is completely unlabeled as to which password it is asking for, I know from long experience that it is swap first wanted, then the box cleared and redrawn, then home password wanted. There has always been a quite sufficient wait-time while the machine waits for the data entry. Sometime around 16th December this changed. The process still works fine for the swap password, box is drawn and machine pauses awaiting the password entry, but the graphical box is never drawn for the second (home) password and the machine thus boots without mounting home. If I F12 the boot, I can see the request for the 2nd password scroll by in the text console, but it doesn't pause for data entry, immediately times out, and again boots without the second encrypted drive. If I immediately and quickly type the 2nd password as soon as I see it scroll by, it's accepted and home is mounted. If I'm a bit slow, it doesn't mount and reports an incorrect password in the log. I've looked at the logs after failed mounts and I see systemd messages reporting the failures, but the messages seem to be different each time. And I see no messages in there at all from the graphical boot thing (plymouth?) Any ideas what I should be looking at here? Thanks.

[opensuse] 13.1 Tbird Upgrade 38.3->38.5 (fails to start) GLib-CRITICAL **: g_slice_set_config: assertion 'sys_page_size == 0' failed

by David C. Rankin

All, Wolfgang, This is bizarre. I updated thunderbird 38.3->38.5 (mozilla repo) and when attempting to start 38.5, the crash-dialog appears immediately (and attempting "Restart" just results in yet another crash-dialog). Starting from konsole reveals the following: $ thunderbird (process:16921): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_slice_set_config: assertion 'sys_page_size == 0' failed (thunderbird:16921): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: Attempt to add property GnomeProgram::sm-connect after class was initialised (thunderbird:16921): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: Attempt to add property GnomeProgram::show-crash-dialog after class was initialised (thunderbird:16921): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: Attempt to add property GnomeProgram::display after class was initialised (thunderbird:16921): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: Attempt to add property GnomeProgram::default-icon after class was initialised ACR (Component): component init [calBackendLoader] Using libical backend at /home/david/.thunderbird/2k12pnl0.default/extensions/{e2fda1a4-762b-4020-b5ad-a41df1933103}/components/libical-manifest Crash reports are: bp-97410418-4e09-4f2a-9ee4-092d42151224.txt bp-f44730e4-7c99-47fe-bd32-3c4b22151224.txt bp-58452d06-781d-4002-b9d2-cdc7e2151224.txt bp-7307d6c5-cf7a-48a7-82e8-27f402151224.txt This may effect all releases. I have the calender (lightning) configured to my groupware calendar. It has worked since lightning was released as a stand-along addon back in the 2.0 days, so I doubt that is the culprit. I need help determining if this is an openSuSE issue or upstream. -- David C.

[opensuse] Battery info

by don fisher

I have run xosview for many years. Now after the Leap upgrade, I receive the following error message: Cannot get battery information If using APM, have you loaded the `apm' module? If using ACPI, have you loaded the `battery' module? Are these modules referred to kernel modules, or some other flavor? What changed?

RE: [opensuse] Wiki as foundation of a community

by stakanov＠freenet.de

> There is probably a lot of blabla going on in the design community as to > how wonderful they are, but yeah. Dear Xen, please enjoy this classic about designers and desired design. I think it is since years a noteworthy peace of humorist approach of a real problem. http://www.27bslash6.com/missy.html About a missing cat called "missy". Very pertinent to your problem. And I agree, time ago documentation was way easier organized. And more over, security guides and other places of opensuse are badly advertised. Some are nice, but you have to search hard and "discover". Other distribution (I recall Arch) seem to do better but then of course a lot is about personal taste, the material once uses and the available collaborators. So about wiki having to be "messy" I do not agree so much. But too much depth in menus...or not intuitive pages are a known problem. --- Alle Postfächer an einem Ort.

[opensuse] For ethernet, what does "device unconfigured" mean

by don fisher

I have run Yast2, and all appears happy. I have looked at files in /etc/sysconfig/networking and /etc/wicked, and all appear happy in my humble opinion. What is making the decision that these devices are unconfigured. What does unconfigured mean? Is there a single field in one of the files that has been omitted? It is very frustrating to not be able to get on the net from a machine that used to have no problem. Especially since the net is required to send details to this list.
