[opensuse] Why does software.opensuse.org prompt for Distro Settings -- and then IGNORE them?
by David C. Rankin 14 Jun '18

14 Jun '18

All, For the first time today, software.opensuse.org triggered a pop-up window prompting me to choose a distribution to limit the search results (the default in the dropdown is "All Distributions"). I had no complaint with the past behavior of the page, but I though cool, I'll chose OpenSuse Leap 42.3 and just get results I'm looking for... Nope - despite triggering an unwanted and unwelcome pop-up, and then my selecting 4.23, the search returns packages for All Distributions (mtpaint package here) openSUSE Tubleweed openSUSE Leap 15.0 openSUSE Leap 42.3 SUSE SLE-15 openSUSE:12.3 openSUSE:13.1 openSUSE:13.2 openSUSE:Leap:42.1 openSUSE:Leap:42.2 openSUSE:11.3 openSUSE:11.4 openSUSE:12.1 openSUSE:12.2 DISCONTINUED:openSUSE:11.2 I don't mind looking at all packages, but when I get an annoying setting dialog prompting me to enter setting to limit the results -- I expect it to work... -- David C.

[opensuse] Mozilla Released 52.8.1esr on 6/618 - Will we get update for 42.3
by David C. Rankin 14 Jun '18

14 Jun '18

All, A couple of weeks ago, Leap 42.3 jumped to Firefox 60esr despite Leap 42.3 coming with 52 -- which went against the policy of staying with the released version. At the time we were told on this list that was required because there would be no more releases of 52esr. That statement was untrue. On June 6, 2018 Mozilla released 52.8.1esr continuing the 52.8 branch, e.g. http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/52.8.1esr/ Will we get an update for 52.8.1esr in update, since that is the release that 42.3 should be on? -- David C.

[opensuse] Apparmor service doesnt work (since upgrade?) on leap 15.0
by cagsm 13 Jun '18

13 Jun '18

Some test machine, I can not exactly tell if apparmor was working on 42.3 where the machine came from, or even earlier 42.2 before that. Default install, guess apparmor comes with that. Kde desktop. Just booted up 15.0 and I observed a red line in the bootup messages speaking about apparmor. Apparmor status says: [sudo] password for root: ● apparmor.service - Load AppArmor profiles Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/apparmor.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Wed 2018-06-13 10:52:33 CEST; 16min ago Main PID: 470 (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) Jun 13 10:52:31 linux apparmor.systemd[470]: Found reference to variable pid, but is never declared Jun 13 10:52:31 linux apparmor.systemd[470]: Error: /etc/apparmor.d/usr.lib.dovecot.imap-login failed to load Jun 13 10:52:31 linux apparmor.systemd[470]: Found reference to variable pid, but is never declared Jun 13 10:52:31 linux apparmor.systemd[470]: Error: /etc/apparmor.d/usr.lib.dovecot.lmtp failed to load Jun 13 10:52:31 linux apparmor.systemd[470]: Found reference to variable pid, but is never declared ......... there was just an apparmor update I have noticed in zypper ref zypper up right now, maybe it will fix things, but I dont even know where to start fixing this: I have never taken any steps towards config files or settings of apparmor, so on the user side of this, I have never touched a thing (tm). What is apparmor for normal users about exactly and how would one reset it to default, whyever or whenever those defaults changed to nonworking config, and how would one overcome such situations? Is apparmor even needed for normal users? I guess it it because suse distro decided to install it for me. Any hint?

[opensuse] Problem with system suddenly swapping with large amount of ram (seems a memory leak?)
by stakanov 13 Jun '18

13 Jun '18

Since the update to Leap 15, the longer my system runs, the more memory it consumes. I tried to track this but I do not understand. Following is the output of the terminal of meminfo and I join also a link with the output (snapshot) of top. https://paste.opensuse.org/16233536 Note that the system has 8 gb of RAM and should never swap. Currently it does swap until it blocks. If you restart the swap returns to normal..for some time. Then, (seems related with the time that it runs therefore I thought of a memory leak) it rebuilds up the swap demand. sudo egrep --color 'Mem|Cache|Swap' /proc/meminfo [sudo] password di root: MemTotal: 7953176 kB MemFree: 137320 kB MemAvailable: 417340 kB Cached: 524404 kB SwapCached: 201472 kB SwapTotal: 8388604 kB SwapFree: 5495036 kB entropia@hk9l:~> sudo cat /proc/meminfo MemTotal: 7953176 kB MemFree: 132844 kB MemAvailable: 433172 kB Buffers: 29772 kB Cached: 582808 kB SwapCached: 202804 kB Active: 6208760 kB Inactive: 1211252 kB Active(anon): 6011452 kB Inactive(anon): 914676 kB Active(file): 197308 kB Inactive(file): 296576 kB Unevictable: 128 kB Mlocked: 128 kB SwapTotal: 8388604 kB SwapFree: 5495804 kB Dirty: 300 kB Writeback: 0 kB AnonPages: 6748820 kB Mapped: 294356 kB Shmem: 190476 kB Slab: 153200 kB SReclaimable: 54828 kB SUnreclaim: 98372 kB KernelStack: 22580 kB PageTables: 165200 kB NFS_Unstable: 0 kB Bounce: 0 kB WritebackTmp: 0 kB CommitLimit: 12365192 kB Committed_AS: 15205204 kB VmallocTotal: 34359738367 kB VmallocUsed: 0 kB VmallocChunk: 0 kB HardwareCorrupted: 0 kB AnonHugePages: 460800 kB ShmemHugePages: 0 kB ShmemPmdMapped: 0 kB HugePages_Total: 0 HugePages_Free: 0 HugePages_Rsvd: 0 HugePages_Surp: 0 Hugepagesize: 2048 kB DirectMap4k: 315452 kB DirectMap2M: 7864320 kB _________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________ Ihre E-Mail-Postf�cher sicher & zentral an einem Ort.

[opensuse] Leap 15 question #1
by Lew Wolfgang 13 Jun '18

13 Jun '18

Hi Folks, I've full-installed Leap 15 on a test box in preparation for rolling it out to the users. But I've discovered some changes from 42.x that I can't figure out yet. I'll ask the questions on at a time for the sake of simplicity. Question #1: how can I get kdm to run on startup rather than sddm? I've installed kdm, and edited /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager: DISPLAYMANAGER="kdm", but sddm runs anyway. I've been using kdm to remain compliant with local security policy. For example, I need a login screen that doesn't show other usernames or the user currently logged in. I also need to display a click-through warning banner before login. No click to approve, the login fails. I've been doing this with zenity invoked from /etc/X11/xdm/Xstartup. But sddm doesn't call Xstartup, kdm does. So I think I can restore our login security policy if I can get kdm to run. Any suggestions?

[opensuse] Installer of Leap 15 and LVM: installer asks for formatting /home?
by stakanov 13 Jun '18

13 Jun '18

When running install on an existing system with an LVM (ext4), when asking to departure from existing files systems and then saying "import" previous install, I get the correct volumes (included LVM after having given the password of course). But unlike previous versions of Leap, this one tries to format /home?? Fortunately I saw it in the last moment. Have there been changes to the encryption method used in Leap 15 for LVM (for which the installer deems necessary to format my data?) or is this a bug in the installer of Leap 15? _________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________ Ihre E-Mail-Postf�cher sicher & zentral an einem Ort.

I'm no expert, but mirrorbrain looks at AS numbers and routing data to determine the "closest" mirror for a given client. Mirrors also have various attributes that affect the selection - packages available, priority, restrictions such as "this/these countries only". -- Per Jessen, Zürich (14.2°C) member, openSUSE Heroes -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Leap 15.0: updates missing from repository?
by Darryl Gregorash 12 Jun '18

12 Jun '18

Just after 1700 UTC today, 15 updates for 15.0 were posted into the updates mailing list. So far, 6 hours later, they have yet to appear on the repository. Most of them are labelled "moderate", but a couple are "important". The first one is for google-compute-engine, the last for yast2-storage-ng -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
