[opensuse] Yast failure after upgrade 42.2 -> 42.3
by andreil1 04 Aug '17

04 Aug '17

Hi ! Ive got strange problem after upgrade from 42.2 -> 42.3 on Lenovo laptop. /sbin/yast2/: line 447: 4142 Segmentation fault (core dumped) $y2ccbin $Y2UI_ARGS “$0” However, yast —gtk launches (almost) successfully. attempt to run Rear backup results in cannot load such file - rear/list_edit_dialog Caller: /usr/lib64/ruby/2.1.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:55 I reinstalled all Yast modules, problem remains. IMHO there are seem to be missing Ruby RPM dependencies. Thanks in advance for any suggestion(s).

[opensuse] Problem - KDE update from repos (42.3)
by andreil1 04 Aug '17

04 Aug '17

Hi, I’m trying to update KDE on 42.3, using these repositories: Qt http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Qt/openSUSE_Leap_42.3/ Plasma Framework http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Frameworks5/openSUSE_Leap_42… Applications http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Applications/KDE_Frameworks5… Extra http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Extra/openSUSE_Leap_42.3/ However, attempt to do so results in huge number of conflicts. On 42.2 (installed prior to 42.3), it wasn’t problem free, but still much smoother. I am missing something ? Thanks in advance !

[opensuse] 42.3 GRUB error: /boot/grub2/i386-pc/normal.mod not found
by Roger Price 04 Aug '17

04 Aug '17

I installed 42.3 on a Dell Precision T7500, in /dev/sda3, ext4, taking all the default Grub options, without UEFI. It has 13.1 and 42.2 already installed in the other partitions. After the installation, 42.3 booted correctly. In /etc/defaults/grub I set GRUB_TIMEOUT=300 and removed options quiet and splash from GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT. I then ran grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg On reboot I see Welcome to Grub! error: file `boot/grub2/i386-pc/normal.mod' not found Entering rescue mode.. grub rescue > Googling shows that this is a known problem in other distributions, but with no crisp simple solution. After reading https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/70538/grub-error-file-grub-i386-pc… I wondered if the simplest approach is to copy the file from /usr/lib/grub2/ ? But how do I do this? Grub rescue is crippled. No help command, no cp command, no command completion, all that "ls (hd0,msdos3)" reports is "File system is ext2". (It's ext4.) I am not an expert in this area - am I looking at a grub2-mkconfig bug? Any hint would be appreciated.

That's ok, but you still don't give details on what that strange file is or looks like :-} -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)

[opensuse] A recommendation: bootinfoscript
by Roger Price 04 Aug '17

04 Aug '17

This list spends a lot of time on stuff which doesn't work, but I would like to recommend a very useful script: "bootinfoscript" which does work, and which is available at https://raw.githubusercontent.com/arvidjaar/bootinfoscript/master/bootinfos… The script provides a complete account of the boot setup. This documents existing installations before updates to the OS, and is very helpful after OS updates for debugging failed boots. The script is available as a package on debian and ubuntu, but not openSUSE. Maybe one day. Meantime, I recommend that you install bootinfoscript now, in the same way that you already have lsof, smartctl, lspci and lsusb installed. Do it now.

[opensuse] Strange 42.2 to 42.3 update problem
by Mark Hounschell 03 Aug '17

03 Aug '17

I have a SANDISK usb stick that was formatted as FAT32 on a WIN-7 laptop. It previously has had other formats including at one point was a opensuse-13.2 install stick. In Leap 42.2 it mounts just fine. I plug it in and it is labeled SCANDISK I click on open with file manager and all is fine. I have 2 42.3 systems where I plug it in and it says: openSUSE-13.2-DVD-x86_640051 with 3 options. I don't understand why it says the above. On a Leap 42.2 it says SANDISK. I click open with file manager but it can't open. I'm sure that it is just something to do with the stick as I have other USB sticks that work just fine on 42.3. The stick is FAT32 with a volume label of SANDISK. I don't understand why this is happening and I really need this thing to work properly. Can anyone shed some light what might be changed on the stick for Leap 42.3 to treat it correctly?

[opensuse] Reproducible builds
by Marc Chamberlin 03 Aug '17

Debian appears to be setting this as a goal, my question is - Is OpenSuSE doing the same? What is OpenSuSE doing to make it's distro trustworthy in the face of rising mistrust of software being compromised by snoops? https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/78xnge/how-debian-is-trying-to-s… Marc.. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Re: [opensuse-factory] Tumbleweed 32-bit roadmap?
by Christopher Myers 02 Aug '17

> How many people really care for running _Tumbleweed_ on ancient > (<= i586) hardware? Those of us who like to get a system built and configured well, and then just let it run for years, without having to worry about reinstalling every X number of months just because the current "version" is no longer supported for security patches ;) Since oS doesn't have an LTS version, Tumbleweed is the only real option for stuff like that if you want to use SuSE on your boxes. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] zypper and mirror: maximum redirects
by Roger Oberholtzer 02 Aug '17

02 Aug '17

I have been getting this error sometimes when running zypper (on Leap 42.3): Error code: Curl error 47 Error message: Maximum (6) redirects followed If I tell zypper to retry, it usually works. So, when running zypper interactively, this only a curiosity. The problem is that I am using kiwi to try to build some OEM images of Leap 42.3, and that fails when this happens. So in that context it is a problem. It seems to happen for any repo. All my repos are http://download.opensuse.org, it is doing the redirection to mirrors. Any ideas? -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] No Tumbleweed mirrors?
by Christopher Myers 01 Aug '17

01 Aug '17

I'm trying to download the latest Tumbleweed ISO, and it's saying that it'll take about 2 days. Checking the http://mirrors.opensuse.org/ site, there aren't any mirrors listed. Is something going on with the system out of curiosity? Chris -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
