[opensuse] dracut --kernel-cmdline option not effective?
by Istvan Gabor 23 Nov '19

23 Nov '19

Hello: I would like to make an initrd image in openSUSE Leap 15.1 that has root=LABEL=... and resume=LABEL=... kernel command line options instead of root=UUID= and resume=UUID= . When I run mkinitrd it runs as: # mkinitrd Creating initrd: /boot/initrd-4.12.14-lp151.28.13-default dracut: Executing: /usr/bin/dracut --logfile /var/log/YaST2/mkinitrd.log --force /boot/initrd-4.12.14-lp151.28.13-default 4.12.14-lp151.28.13-default ... dracut: *** Store current command line parameters *** dracut: Stored kernel commandline: dracut: resume=UUID=ca1f9a2d-468f-4718-b993-d7041556be8c dracut: root=UUID=c6a2aa57-1ff2-4ebd-a1fb-e56cf4b3a4b9 rootfstype=ext4 rootflags=rw,relatime,data=ordered dracut: *** Creating image file '/boot/initrd-4.12.14-lp151.28.13-default' *** dracut: *** Creating initramfs image file '/boot/initrd-4.12.14-lp151.28.13-default' done *** According to dracut man page I can customize kernel command line options with --kernel-cmdline option to dracut. Based on the above I ran dracut as: # /usr/bin/dracut --kernel-cmdline "root=LABEL=L151-KDE3-ext resume=LABEL=swap-OSL" --logfile /var/log/YaST2/mkinitrd.log --force /boot/initrd-4.12.14-lp151.28.13-default 4.12.14-lp151.28.13-default dracut: Executing: /usr/bin/dracut --kernel-cmdline "root=LABEL=L151-KDE3-ext resume=LABEL=swap-OSL" --logfile /var/log/YaST2/mkinitrd.log --force /boot/initrd-4.12.14-lp151.28.13-default 4.12.14-lp151.28.13-default ... dracut: *** Store current command line parameters *** dracut: Stored kernel commandline: dracut: root=LABEL=L151-KDE3-ext resume=LABEL=swap-OSL dracut: resume=UUID=ca1f9a2d-468f-4718-b993-d7041556be8c dracut: root=UUID=c6a2aa57-1ff2-4ebd-a1fb-e56cf4b3a4b9 rootfstype=ext4 rootflags=rw,relatime,data=ordered dracut: *** Creating image file '/boot/initrd-4.12.14-lp151.28.13-default' *** dracut: *** Creating initramfs image file '/boot/initrd-4.12.14-lp151.28.13-default' done *** It seems that dracut recognizes and applies --kernel-cmdline option values but then overwrites them by the system default values, at least that is how I interpret dracut output messages. What do I do wrong and how could I set only root=LABEL=L151-KDE3-ext and resume=LABEL=swap-OSL kernel command line options in the initrd image?

[opensuse] Minimal autoyast file not working on Tumbleweed
by Jim Fehlig 23 Nov '19

23 Nov '19

Hi, I'm trying to cook up a minimal autoyast file that I can use while adding openSUSE support to the CentOS CI for the various projects in the (lib)virt ecosystem [0][1]. The attached file works fine for everything except Tumbleweed, where I get the following error None or wrong base product has been defined in the AutoYaST configuration file. Please check the products entry in the software section. Following base products are available: openSUSE-MicroOS (openSUSE MicroOS) openSUSE (openSUSE Tumbleweed) But I can see that 'base', 'minimal_base', and 'yast2_basis' are included in the large list of patterns available to a Tumbleweed installation. Has something changed that would prevent installing Tumbleweed with this small list of patterns? Is there a better autoyast <software> configuration for a minimal system that works across Leap and Tumbleweed?

[opensuse] 42.3 -> 15.0 /usr/include/asm-x86 -> /usr/include/arch-x86/asm ??

Devs, What caused the location of header files to change from /usr/include/asm-x86 to /usr/include/arch-x86/asm ?? What this a gcc change of a discretionary move? I believe gcc uses /usr/include/asm by default, so why do we put it somewhere else and why did it change? It's not a huge deal, but I'm curios about the change. -- David C.

[opensuse] Fail To Boot After Update to kernel-default-4.12.14-lp150.12.82.1 ??
by David C. Rankin 22 Nov '19

22 Nov '19

All, Devs, On a virtualbox install, zypper up to kernel-default-4.12.14-lp150.12.82.1 on 15.0 left the VM unable to boot - it hangs part way though the boot. Downgrade to kernel-default-4.12.14-lp150.12.79.1 works just fine. Attempts to rebuild the init with: # dracut -fM --kver 4.12.14-lp150.12.82-default completes successfully but does not solve the problem. I have removed (zypper rm'ed) kernel-default-4.12.14-lp150.12.82.1 and the system boots fine on the kernel-default-4.12.14-lp150.12.79.1 kernel. What to check as to why update to the new kernel failed? There is no persistent journal to check. -- David C.

[opensuse] Jstar: how to get ctrl-left and ctrl-right keys working, solved.
by Carlos E. R. 21 Nov '19

21 Nov '19

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, It has been a long standing nuisance that ctrl-left and ctrl-right do not work in jstar. I got, by chance, a hint on nntp:alt.os.linux. There is this paragraph on the man page: «Unfortunately, there is no standard way to get the keysequence given by the terminal emulator when you hit Ctrl-Right Arrow. Instead you have to determine this sequence yourself and enter it directly in the joerc file. Some examples are given for Xterm and gnome-terminal. Hit ^Q Ctrl-Right Arrow within JOE to have the sequence shown on your screen. Note that Putty uses Esc Esc [ C which will not appear with ^Q Right Arrow (also Esc Esc is the set bookmark command, so you need to unbind it to do this in Putty).» - From there I got the sequences: ^right [1;5C ^left [1;5D Looking at both /etc/joe/jstarrc and /etc/joe/joerc (the mentioned paragraph in the man about Xterm is only in plain joe), I finally found how to do it.

[opensuse] zypper dup 42.3 -> 15.0 loses all LibreOffice Templates/Settings, KDE Plastic/Keramik styles not available?
by David C. Rankin 20 Nov '19

20 Nov '19

All, After having done several full installs of 15.0 and 15.1 with no notable issues, I did my first zypper dup --downloadinadvance after having done a zypper clean and zypper ref. The zypper dup went well (even with the NVidia drivers and cinelerra repos). However, I have two frustrating problems that are not present in the fresh installs of 15.0 and 15.1. First with LibreOffice, all templates, settings and dictionaries are gone. Nowhere to be found in the menus. Next, I use Keramik as the KDE3 style (in both 15.0 and 15.1 fresh installs), but after a zypper dup, the Plastik and Keramik styles do not show in the menus. The versions of the packages are exactly the same between the working 15.0 fresh install box and this box. The only styles shown available are CDE, Windows 95, Platinum and SGI (yuk). None of the core KDE widget styles are listed in Appearance->Style. kdeglobals still has my widgetStyle=keramik, but it displays as CDE (first in shown list I guess) The library files are all there: $ find . -type f -name "*keramik*" ./share/apps/kwin/keramik.desktop ./share/apps/kstyle/themes/keramik.themerc ./share/doc/HTML/en/krec/krec-keramik.png ./lib64/kde3/kwin3_keramik.so ./lib64/kde3/kwin_keramik_config.so ./lib64/kde3/kwin3_keramik.la ./lib64/kde3/kwin_keramik_config.la ./lib64/kde3/plugins/styles/keramik.so ./lib64/kde3/plugins/styles/keramik.la ./lib64/kde3/kstyle_keramik_config.so ./lib64/kde3/kstyle_keramik_config.la I have run kbuildsycoca --noincremental to eliminate a cache issue and restarted the desktop, no joy.... So where has my LibreOffice config gone and where have the default styles gone? Any thoughts/guesses? -- David C.

[opensuse] A slightly complicated permission problem with kvm/libvirt and an existing disk with images
by stakanov 19 Nov '19

19 Nov '19

Hello to all. I had to reinstall my TW these days. I have a separate disc mounted as /kvmimages where I hold the images of the OS. When I check, all is O.K.. The images are effectively present and they are owned by root:root. Now my user is called entropy. Entropy is member of the groups kvm and libvirt. As a matter of fact, he can start and connect kvm/qemu and then you can choose "new" - virtual machine - choose from existing images. When I try to do so, unfortunately I do not see anything because there seems to be a permission problem. This puzzles me, because while being entropy member of kvm/qemu he should be able to read them, even when owned by root. Am I mistaken? In this setup (see above) and respecting the security issue of not wanting this /kvmstorage be world readable, what permission do I have to set to / kvmstorage in order to be able as "entropy" to import the existing images. Thank you. P.S. PAM solutions are also highly welcome (as long as you are verbose enough and I shall be able to understand them fully). _________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________ Ihre E-Mail-Postf�cher sicher & zentral an einem Ort.

[opensuse] Why is pdfchain not build for 15.0 Oss when it has been in Oss since before 42.3 - it's CRITICAL
by David C. Rankin 14 Nov '19

14 Nov '19

All, Devs Why is pdfchain no build for 15.0? It was there in 42.3. It's critical for anyone who needs to assemble pdf documents, such as faxes, exhibits, court filings, etc.. It is a wonderful gui that allows to you rotate and assemble many pdfs into a final document. I had a settlement and closing documents due by the 18th in Federal Court for the Sourthern Dist. of Texas and went to use pdfchain that was present before the zypper dup -- only to find out it is no longer on my system -- what?? It's something that was built and part of OSS, not some tangent repo. Can somebody go re-enable the build to add 15.0 and 15.1 to the build lists. This one caught me off guard. -- David C.

[opensuse] Cannot install Leap-15.1 on HP laptop

13 Nov '19

Today I tried to install Leap-15.1 on my new HP Pavilion Gaming Laptop 15-cx0112ng, but in vain. (Despite its name, I have no intention to use the laptop for games.) After inserting a bootable USB stick made from openSUSE-Leap-15.1-NET-x86_64.iso, I switched on the laptop and selected "Installation". This was the system's response: - Loading kernel - Loading initial ramdisk ... ... ... - Loading base drivers...ok - Starting hardware detection... But then an "ok" never appeared. Three overlapping green bars slowly grew from the left to the right for showing the hardware detection's progress. But after their arrival at the right-hand end, nothing happened any more. I waited one more hour, but in vain. I repeated this attempt of installation twice, loosing a lot of time, but without obtaining a different result. Unfortunately the laptop has no CD/DVD drive. So, there is no alternative to the installation with a bootable USB stick. Any help is welcome!

[opensuse] wireless intermittent

13 Nov '19

I'm a complete noob when it comes to wireless! I just turned wireless on on my openSUSE PC (Leap 15.0) in order to be able to control a TP-Link HS110 smart plug. But the wireless seems to be flaky on the PC and I have no idea why. I set it up in YaST - I use Wicked - and it seemed to work, then it stopped, then it worked, then it didn't etc. YaST now says: RTL8821AE 802.11ac PCIe Wireless Network Adapter (Not connected) MAC : 80:a5:89:34:b8:27 BusID : 0000:03:00.0 Device Name: wlan0 Started automatically at boot IP address assigned using DHCP but on my router's network management page I can see an IP address for my PC's WLAN interface (it's on a different net to the wired LAN) and part of the time it indicates a connection and part not. When it does the signal strength is -73 dBm. Is it telling me there's an actual connection problem (needs a better antenna) or is there some other possibility? How can I tell for sure? Oh there's a bunch of stuff in the log that probably helps if I knew what it meant: 2019-11-09T17:33:48.960206+00:00 acer-suse kernel: [9051579.222125] wlan0: Connection to AP 9a:9b:cb:9d:ab:52 lost 2019-11-09T17:33:52.240230+00:00 acer-suse kernel: [9051582.502761] wlan0: authenticate with 9a:9b:cb:9d:ab:52 2019-11-09T17:33:52.240242+00:00 acer-suse kernel: [9051582.503188] wlan0: send auth to 9a:9b:cb:9d:ab:52 (try 1/3) 2019-11-09T17:33:52.244205+00:00 acer-suse kernel: [9051582.509073] wlan0: authenticated 2019-11-09T17:33:52.244217+00:00 acer-suse kernel: [9051582.509992] wlan0: associate with 9a:9b:cb:9d:ab:52 (try 1/3) 2019-11-09T17:33:52.250061+00:00 acer-suse kernel: [9051582.515266] wlan0: RX AssocResp from 9a:9b:cb:9d:ab:52 (capab=0x1431 status=0 aid=6) 2019-11-09T17:33:52.250072+00:00 acer-suse kernel: [9051582.515519] wlan0: associated 2019-11-09T17:33:52.276592+00:00 acer-suse wickedd-dhcp4[1406]: wlan0: Request to acquire DHCPv4 lease with UUID 5fdb3c5d-1de5-0b00-a505-00000d000000 2019-11-09T17:33:55.580226+00:00 acer-suse kernel: [9051585.842867] wlan0: deauthenticated from 9a:9b:cb:9d:ab:52 (Reason: 34=DISASSOC_LOW_ACK) etc etc -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
