[opensuse] Failed upgrade to 15.0
by Carlos E. R. 15 Jun '18

15 Jun '18

Hi, I failed to upgrade a test partition with Leap 42.3 to 15.0, using the DVD method. First it aborted because it found reiserfs partitions in fstab, even though they were references to quite old openSUSE installs on other partitions. Like 13.1. Obviously I can not change them. This is absurd. I had to comment them out. :-/ I rebooted and tried again, and after it started probing the target partition, yast crashed. I got logs and photos, will write a bugzilla later, time permitting. This is the first failed DVD upgrade I get since 1998 :-/ I don't even know why. <http://paste.opensuse.org/7824651> <http://paste.opensuse.org/84936112> -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

[opensuse] If this Mailing List gets closed
by Peter Welles 15 Jun '18

15 Jun '18

Hello, I want to thank all the volunteers who help on this list. I am also grateful to the users who ask the questions. I learn a lot by reading the replies. I use this list as my extra "eyes and ears" because the number of applications and documentation pages can be overwhelming. I am more of a corner case type of guy so to me the new support list is not appealing. Thank you again, Peter Welles -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Mailinglist changes going forward
by Simon Lees 14 Jun '18

14 Jun '18

Hello everyone, Firstly I am cross posting this across a number of mailinglists because this post affects several, but I would ask that you keep your replies / feedback on the openSUSE project list as not to fragment discussion. It has been raised with the board by several members of the community that some of our mailinglists have not been working as effectively as we would like. As such and as raised in our annual discussion with the community during the conference, the board has decided to take a couple of steps that we hope will resolve these issues or that will at least be a starting point in resolving these issues. Firstly we have created a new opensuse-support(a)o.o mailing list, we as the board felt that in the transition from factory -> tumbleweed in particular the change in role for opensuse(a)o.o did not work well and in many cases there was an attitude that factory/tumbleweed issues should still be posted on the factory mailing list. As such we have created the support mailing list to help clarify these changes in policy that we don't believe worked when we tried to change them last time. In short we would like you to use opensuse-support(a)o.o whenever you require support whether it is for Tumbleweed, Leap (regardless of whether you are using a Leap beta or not) or any other project under the openSUSE umbrella. This brings us to the next issue, posting bugs / bug reports on mailing lists rather then bugzilla. This is a practice we would like to see stopped and we will be gently reminding people if they continue posting bugs on mailinglists, this especially includes if a package / application breaks when updating tumbleweed / leap (including beta's). We would ask that you search for your issue prior to reporting but in case you accidentally report a duplicate bug its easy for us to mark it as such, also if you report something that is intentional and not a bug it doesn't take long to mark it as such, so if in doubt file a bug rather then posting to a mailing list, there is useful information for filing bugs at the following links [1][2]. But if you are really stuck with trying to file your bug the friendly people at opensuse-support(a)o.o can support you through the process. The board hopes that with the changes outlined above the contents of the opensuse-factory(a)o.o will go back to just being general distro development discussion so if your post to openSUSE factory is something other then that think twice about where the more appropriate place to post is. The new tumbleweed snapshots will continue to be posted to factory but we would ask you do not reply to them in order to report issues / bugs. If a bug is reported that a package maintainer believes will cause significant issues for most tumbleweed users ie not being able to boot / login or severe data loss we still invite the maintainer to post a warning to opensuse-factory but such issues happen very rarely and as such we don't expect to see many such posts. The board has decided that it would like to see how well these changes work before deciding to add / remove / change openSUSE's mailing lists further. Although we have discussed several other possibilities that we could also try in the future. 1. https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Bug_reporting_FAQ 2. https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Submitting_bug_reports -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adelaide Australia, UTC+10:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B

[opensuse] one single problem upgrading Leap 42.3->15.0
by Paul Neuwirth 14 Jun '18

14 Jun '18

Hello, upgrade using zypper runs very smoothly, in all cases (3 so far) I got a perfect working system (after reboot). But: directly after the installation I have hundred(s) of zombie processes. systemd seams to be dead.. there are dozens of error messages during upgrade because of that. shutdown does not work.. In all cases I needed to use magic sysrequest to sync and reboot. Is it a known issue? Or where do I find the errors in logs - I do not see these messages (from rpm scripts) in zypper.log? Thank you, and great work this 15.0 Paul -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[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.
