[opensuse] 15.1 System freezes
by Daniel Bauer 24 Sep '19

24 Sep '19

Hello, My OS 15.1 desktop computer with nvidia goes crazy since yesterday. After two or three days without reboot the KDE desktop suddenly freezed. I had to reset per hardware button. After reboot I used zypper up to bring the system to the latest updates. Now it freezes from time to time: after some minutes of working (browsers, or email, or digikam) it gets unresponsive. First the mouse cursor doesn't move. After a minute or two the cursor moves a bit, but immediately freezes again. After a while the cursor disappears. The keyboard doesn't respond to anything. After a reboot (or if I log out and in again) the "greeting page" (the kde login page) showns scrambled: only a part, or artifacts, or a white screen with a black border - creatively changing each time. I can enter the password and hit enter and get the desktop. After a short while it freezes for a second and shows a message like "kde display restarted" (could not read it really, was shown too short). When clicking in the menu "log out" the question "log in out in 30 seconds" is shown but the two buttons below are not visible or scrambled. I can hit enter though. At the moment the system is in an unusable state. Where can I look for what happened? What to search for? What data can I provide here so that somebody can help me? Where/how do I find this data? Thanks for your help. I'll check mail when 15.1 allows...

[opensuse] nvidia vs nouveau on 15.1
by Mark Hounschell 23 Sep '19

23 Sep '19

I just upgraded a 15.0 install to 15.1. I am using an NVIDIA Corporation G70 [GeForce 7800 GT] (rev a1) and the nvidia-304.137 kernel driver from nvidia. I've been patching this driver for use on the latest kernels for some time now. In fact on the 15.0 installation I am using it with a vanilla 5.3.0 kernel with no issues. The reason I cannot use the on kernel nouveau driver is because I can't get it to support multiple screens. Every monitor connected has the same thing displayed. On the 15.1 box after the upgrade from 15.0 I get this in the Xorg.0.log log file. [ 21.746] ================ WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING ================ [ 21.746] This server has a video driver ABI version of 24.0 that this driver does not officially support. Please check http://www.nvidia.com/ for driver updates or downgrade to an X server with a supported driver ABI. [ 21.746] ================================================================= [ 21.746] (EE) NVIDIA: Use the -ignoreABI option to override this check. My question is how do I implement this "-ignoreABI" thing to override this check? Or maybe a better question might be why does the nouveau driver not support multiple screens multiple monitors? Or am I wrong there and just don't know how to configure it? "Settings/Configure-Desktop" is certainly no help there.

[opensuse] virtual machine manager display twice a virtual machine?
by Simon Becherer 21 Sep '19

21 Sep '19

Hi, i have some virtual machines running at one computer. (qemu with virtual machine manager, and display spice) when i would see the virtual-machines, i use from another computer: ssh -X name-of-system-where-virtual-machines-are-running /usr/bin/virt-manager the virtual manager will popup and i click on "open" for the specific virtual machine. all fine so far. but sometimes it would be good to have had one virtual-system on 2 different computers shown (open) at same time. this did not work. if i use the ssh command from another system, it will disconnect the virtual machine from the computer i have seen it before. so my question is, how to tell spice to show simultaneous the virtual machine on different computers? i do not see anything useful inside the virtual manager tab "display-spice" did i have to change some configuration files manually inside /etc/libvirt/ ? simoN -- www.becherer.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

It works on 15.0 using nvidia. But the X11 on 15.1 complains about my nvidia revision being not supported. I've NEVER been able to have this work without the nvidia drivers. I have different nvidia cards around also. It only works right using the nvidia drivers.

[opensuse] Fwd: [opensuse-factory] Default browser: chromium?
by Carlos E. R. 19 Sep '19

This should be of your interest. Please send replies to the factory list. -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [opensuse-factory] Default browser: chromium? Date: Thu, 19 Sep 2019 10:54:40 +0000 From: Tomas Chvatal <TChvatal(a)suse.com> To: opensuse-factory(a)opensuse.org <opensuse-factory(a)opensuse.org> Hi, Let the flamewar begin! No really I was now watching the people rightfully complaining I've sent a borked chromium to latest TW snapshot and was wondering how popular the browsers are and whether we should not set the chromium instead of firefox as default or to keep them both on the dvd tested... In order to even start some process lets all vote in a poll for what is your default browser between the two (yes yes you can use the Vivaldi or even w3m, but honestly the chromium or ff are the two used by the majority of the people around). So if I could get you to vote in my lovely poll: https://doodle.com/poll/nnn53kkryghdvc84 I will make the results hidden so people won't start to game the system too much and the results will be announced here at the beginning of the October.

[opensuse] copying .exe to Win 10?

18 Sep '19

Why can't I copy a downloaded .exe file to Windows 10 on the same drive? I can access the Windows partition from Thunderbird super-user Dolphin, but I mark a file to copy and try to paste in the Windows partition, but it is grayed out. What am I doing wrong?

[opensuse] Unwanted IPv6 address - 15.1
by James Knott 18 Sep '19

18 Sep '19

Somehow my notebook has managed to acquire an unwanted IPv6 address. It has a /128 prefix and is similar to the one assigned to my firewall. I assumed this happened when I connected the computer directly to the modem, rather than the local network. Any idea how I can get rid of this? tnx jk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] lvm is dumping core - a lot
by Mathias Homann 18 Sep '19

Hi guys, I'm finding a lot of this in my logs: Sep 14 21:08:43 akari kernel: lvm[21398]: segfault at 5a ip 00007f1477d7346f sp 00007ffe4a3032b8 error 4 in libc-2.26.so[7f1477cd1000+1b1000] Sep 14 21:08:44 akari systemd-coredump[21400]: Process 21398 (lvm) of user 0 dumped core. And I mean a LOT. as in, once every two seconds for a period of two minutes, seems to happen during recreation of the boot ramdisk after installing packages with modues that go into it. Any ideas? openSUSE Leap 15.0, all updates applied, system is using LVM on four harddisks...
