[opensuse] graphic display blinks
by jdd＠dodin.org 29 Apr '18

29 Apr '18

Hello, Here I just ask for general debug ideas, as the relevant computer is not in my hands, but I may have to work on it or it's brothers some day. it's an old computer, 7 years old, but sufficient and 64 bits, but only 2Gb ram. Intel graphics. Desktop. I first installed tumbleweed 32 bits, then (today) tested live Leap 15, with same result: when started as init 3 (number 3 added at the end on grub linux line), works. When started as default, the screen blinks with around 1/2s frequency, obviously its's X that stops and restart as the keyboard is nearly not responsive (unusable). I tried nomodeset, vga on linux grub line, same result start X from terminal and blinking, the blinking continues even after the return under terminal. But... opensuse 12.1 works as expected I could install 13.2 32 bits from live usb and it worked with graphics nothing visible in X logs, apart the last line (stopped on error (1)) what can I save as ideas to test next time? the problem was visible at my LUG meeting but also at the owners home (different monitor) thanks jdd -- http://dodin.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Plymouth startup
by Bjarne Örn Hansen 29 Apr '18

29 Apr '18

Hi, Whenever I start my computer, I get this annoying three dots as a startup screen in plymouth. I am running Tumbleweed, and I am seeing that this has been an issue with nVidia drivers for a loooooooong time. Why is this, still an issue? // Bjarne -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] leap 42.3, today libreoffice version suddenyl upgraded
by cagsm 28 Apr '18

28 Apr '18

hi there thought opensuse wouldnt do these major upgrades of projects or packages but rather patches and smallish version increases today on leap 42.3 some libreoffice 5.4.x suddenly upgraded itself to 6.0.3 methinks via zypper up what is the general plan for upgrades? there was arguing in the past e.g. firefox and then firefox esr comes to my mind and the reluctance of advancing the latest firefox releases and instead the maintainer switching over to firefox esr in recent months. any explanation on these decisions and when an upgrade is fit for deployment or when smallish version number increases are rather used instead? tia. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] separate browser logins vs separate instance X display
by David T-G 28 Apr '18

28 Apr '18

Hi again, all -- I have multiple cloud accounts (A, B, ...) and access them all at the same time. One way to do that is to click the little account tab and change the login (A, B, ...) in the browser. Another way is to have separate users (A@wench, B@wench, ...) on my laptop and fire off the browser as that user and display it on my (davidtg@wench) screen after running xhost. Any thoughts on which approach is cleaner, faster, better in general? TIA again & HAND :-D -- David T-G See http://justpickone.org/davidtg/email/ See http://justpickone.org/davidtg/tofu.txt -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] plymouthd stuck taking 5% CPU after systemd timers fired at 45 min past hour ??
by David C. Rankin 28 Apr '18

28 Apr '18

All, I've never seen this before on 42.2 or 42.3, but when the systemd timers fired for the cleanup, plymouthd got stuck consuming 5% of the CPU and has been for the past 15 minutes. Weird, e.g from the journal: Apr 25 00:45:01 wizard cron[12111]: pam_unix(crond:session): session opened for user root by (uid=0) Apr 25 00:45:01 wizard systemd[1]: Created slice User Slice of root.

Apr 25 00:45:01 wizard systemd[12116]: pam_unix(systemd-user:session): session closed for user root I presume that is some 15 minute timer that fires -- because there is the same thing at 00:30:01 and again at 00:00:01, but at the 45 minute firing, I'm stuck with: PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 247 root 20 0 65544 19320 3076 S 5.316 0.238 243:23.29 plymouthd What is going on? I'll reboot for now, but this is very bizarre... -- David C.

by don fisher 27 Apr '18

I again hope this is an easy one, but how does one select which tray paper comes from. If I put photo paper in one tray, and plain paper in the another, how does one tell the application which paper to use?

[opensuse] Brand new VM with tumbleweed read only???
by Greg Freemyer 26 Apr '18

26 Apr '18

All, I haven't use btrfs much yet. Yesterday, I created a new Tumbleweed VM inside Virtualbox (hosted on a Win 10 PC) and accepted the default btrfs. I've barely done anything with it yet, but admittedly I have rebooted several times. I think I did a clean poweroff each time. When I run "zypper in mariadb" I get: == Error: Subprocess failed. Error: RPM failed: error: can't create transaction lock on /var/lib/rpm/.rpm.lock (Read-only file system) == But mount doesn't show /var as readonly: == # mount | grep var /dev/sda2 on /var type btrfs (rw, ..., subvol=/@/var) overlay on /etc type overlay (rw, relatime, lowerdir=/sysroot/etc,upperdir=/sysroot/var/lib/overlay/etc,workdir=/sysroot/var/lib/overlay/work-etc) == [I typed the above, so beware of typos.] Is there a easy fix, or should I just blow this VM away recreate with btrfs in the loop?
