[opensuse] I should know this ... how to resume boot after emergency shell?
by Per Jessen 03 Dec '19

I have Leap 15.0 running on an ARM board and something got screwed up a couple of days ago. Boot-up fails : [FAILED] Failed to start udev Coldplug all Devices. I am not sure it is related, but after this, four other services or devices fail: [ TIME ] Timed out waiting for device dev-ttyS0.device. [DEPEND] Dependency failed for Serial Getty on ttyS0. [ TIME ] Timed out waiting for device dev-mmcblk0p1.device. [DEPEND] Dependency failed for File System Check on /dev/mmcblk0p1. [DEPEND] Dependency failed for /boot/efi. [DEPEND] Dependency failed for Local File Systems. [DEPEND] Dependency failed for Early Kernel Boot Messages. [ TIME ] Timed out waiting for device dev-disk-by\x2dlabel-SWAP.device. [DEPEND] Dependency failed for /dev/disk/by-label/SWAP. [DEPEND] Dependency failed for Swap. and I am given the emergency shell over the serial interface. It seems odd that "dev-ttyS0.device" times out - as I am using it :-) Even after mounting /boot/efi and adding swap, and I hit Control-D or type "systemctl default", the system will just hang. Is there a better/correct way? While in the emergency shell, I have even re-built the initrd, sort of just in case, but that only made things worse. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (4.2°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] Create live 15.1 USB
by James Knott 01 Dec '19

01 Dec '19

I'd like to create a live 15.1 on a USB stick. Are there any official procedures? Please note, I want to create a usable system, not an install system. I already have one of those. A search turns up some procedures for Windows, but not Linux. I'd rather use Linux. tnx jk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] KeepPassX question.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, when I use "ctrl-shift-U" at KeepPassX to perform autotype of my login/pass at a site, subsequently KeepPassX minimizes and goes to the end of the tab list. How can I stop that? It is a nuisance. - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.

[opensuse] Re: [opensuse-support] LEAP 15.1 installation & config
by David T-G 01 Dec '19

Good morning, all! ...and then tomas.kuchta.lists(a)gmail.com said... % ... % The install summary page is where you can enable disable % firewall/openSsh/changeSW/runlevel/etc. The next install step is the actual % install, I think. I played with a few installations before finally committing. I of course had to go and add various patterns and packages (yes, including those deprecated tools :-) to get the system I want, but that part all went well. I also got sshd up and happy even though I don't really know my firewall yet. I *thought* I had DHCP beaten by, before actually installing, going into Network and setting the host name and IP address. The first time I did that she stopped hard, so the next time I also included routing & nameserver info, and she continued, so I figured I was in good shape; yay. But ... she grabbed an address from the DHCP server instead of using the one I specified! Arrrrgh. Now that I'm installed and don't particularly want to start over, what's the best way to switch to a static IP address (since I don't have a DHCP server I can configure to hand out specifics that way)? And, for future reference, what should one do at the summary stage to actually ensure a static IP? TIA again :-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] kde, removed desktop symbols (picture) cached
by Simon Becherer 01 Dec '19

01 Dec '19

Hi, i am wondering about how / where kde will cache desktop symbols, because it will show them even if the original source picture is removed: i have a "virtual-machine-management1" desktop entry. with "Icon=yast-vm-management" it shows a monitor and some tools it seems, that this picture was in some update (i use tumbleweed) removed. because if i open properties it will show a other symbol (a white animal at green background). i have more than one computers installed similar, an at one of them also on desktop there is now (i have no idea why) shown the symbol which i see when i open with right mouse click "properties" (animal) in properties, there should normally shown the same symbol i see at the desktop. but at all except one computer i see the old symbol at desktop and the animal symbol at properties. see here: https://paste.opensuse.org/83344057 so my questions are: 1) why is the old symbol still shown even if it seems to be removed (i could not find it actually on my computer by searching for "*yast-vm-management*" in /usr and in /home 2) where is it stored ? 3) how (what symbol) did kde assign a other symbol if the original is removed with other words, when in the desktop entry file is a "non existing" name of a symbol. simoN -- www.becherer.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
