[opensuse] 13.2 LUKS boot problem (new, circa 16th December 2015)
by listreader 30 Dec '15

30 Dec '15

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 30 Dec '15

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 29 Dec '15

29 Dec '15

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

> 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 28 Dec '15

28 Dec '15

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.

I have now leap running but curiously also no I do NOT have a "failsafe" entry in grub. I have advanced but if I choose it i have the very same entry without possibility to enter any parameter. If I have it password protected I have to press escape, then it asks me for the user (that I suppose is root?) and for a password which is the one of grub). If I do so, it just brings me....back to the grub without any possibility to set up boot parameters. At least leap is running (we will see how long it will be to have strange ssh services running this time......) So now I am struggling again! with the mp4/mp3 problem. If you have any idea why the fail-safe entry is not there...I will be grateful to try. --- Alle Postfächer an einem Ort.

But so far I do not understand where the problem lies. > If you have any hint to point me to a solution I will be grateful. Actually this is getting worse and worse. I installed Leap instead of 13.2 As long as the account is new all is fine and the site plays. But if do chmod and acquire afterwards the files of the previous personality by simpy copying and pasting, then the sound stops. Now way to get sound in FF, Seamonkey or Chromium. Thus i thought: as I did NOT copy any invisible file but only the documents and folders, this might be still a permission problem. So I eliminated the user and reauqired the directory afterwards recreating it in yast. Now Konqueror as befor does play mp4/mp3. Chromium plays also now. But FF and Seamonkey remain mute. While in other users they do play!!! I started therefore FF from konsole and do see the following error now: (firefox:8421): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_clipboard_set_with_data: assertion 'targets != NULL' failed (firefox:8421): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_clipboard_set_with_data: assertion 'targets != NULL' failed (firefox:8421): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_clipboard_set_with_data: assertion 'targets != NULL' failed So what does that tell me? --- Alle Postfächer an einem Ort.
