[opensuse] I like: MirrorCache with MirrorBrain
by cagsm 19 Nov '20

19 Nov '20

There has been that post on the project list at <https://lists.opensuse.org/archives/list/project@lists.opensuse.org/thread/…> <https://github.com/andrii-suse/MirrorCache> and I like this new MirrorCache approach. Although as a name a brain sounds more sophisticated than a cache. Anyways, looking forward to how this evolves. Wondering if it would be useful to make use of such things as torrent addresses of all the files a.k.a. objects in the repositories and huge distributed caching architectures instead of old central servers. Thanks to the developers and people involved.

[opensuse] Need help with setting up routes.
by Marc Chamberlin 19 Nov '20

19 Nov '20

Hello - I am not aware of any forum where it would be more appropriate to ask my questions about setting up routes for what I want to accomplish for my network of computers, so guess I will ask here and hopefully either get an answer or get directed to a better forum. Internet searches and Googling have not helped much. I have a small network of computers interconnected on a private 192.168.10.* net. Each of these computers run various services, and all connected to different specialized hardware devices and/or acting as gateways to a specialized subnet(s) of devices. One of these computers is also acting as a gateway to the internet. The internet gateway computer has 2 NICs and I have assigned a set of public IP addresses to the external NIC (eth0) the internal facing NIC has a private IP address of 192.168.10.10. What I want to do is to have all these computers to be able to interacted with each other over the private network, just like any normal network, and I want to be able to route each public IP address to a particular IP address on the internal network. Therefore each internal computer's NIC card will be assigned 2 different IP addresses assigned to it, one for normal internal network operations, and the second handling traffic to/from one of the public IP addresses. This makes each internal computer effectively have it's own external public IP address, for running public accessible services, and it's own private IP address running private accessible services as well. SO to put this in a table the network needs to support something like this- Computer 1 (The internet gateway computer) NIC1 eth0 IPs - 200.200.200.1, 200.200.200.2, 200.200.200.3, ... NIC2 eth1 IP - 192.168.10.10 This computer is running an Apache web server for the main domain and an DHCP, NAMED/Bind and other services for the internal network. Computer 2 (Security and other cameras) NIC1 eth0 IPs - 192.168.10.20, 192.168.10.21 NIC2 eth1 IP - 10.10.10.1 This computer is a gateway to a subnet (10.10.10.*) of security cameras. It is also running 2 Apache web servers, each listening to one of the IP addresses assigned to eth0 and serving of information that is appropriate for users making a connection via one of the IP addresses on eth0. The routes set up for IP address of 192.168.10.20 are the normal internal network routes. Traffic too and from the internal 192.168.10.* is handled via this IP and the gateway to the internet is also handled by routing unknown IP addresses to the gateway address of 192.168.10.10 What I need to know, is how to I set up the routes for 192.168.10.21 and 200.200.200.2, which I want to be "virtually" connected so incoming traffic on 200.200.200.2 is routed to 192.168.10.21 and outgoing traffic from 192.168.10.21 is routed to/through 200.200.200.2? It doesn't appear that I can do this using the YaST Network Settings app because it wrongly makes assumptions about routing rules when an IP address is assigned to a NIC. When a new IP address is assigned to a NIC, a routing rule is also defined that allows connections to all addresses on the network to which that IP address is a part of. But that provides multiple/different paths to other systems on the internal network and that breaks some of the services which expects packets to be sent back through the same IP address to which the original packet was sent. Also I don't know how to assign an IP address to a NIC without using YaST, so could use a pointer/example. For Computer 1, do I need to assign additional internal IP addresses to my NIC 2 interface to handle the "virtual" connections between the external IP addresses and the internal IP address of the computer, and if so how do I set up the route rules using them? Other internal computers are set up in a similar way as Computer 2 and need similar appropriate routing rules.. For example - Computer 3 (Radio controller) NIC1 wlan0 IPs - 192.168.10.30, 192.168.10.31 Again IP 192.168.10.30 is used for the normal internal network routes. Traffic too and from the internal 192.168.10.* is handled via this IP and the gateway to the internet is also handled by routing unknown IP addresses to the gateway address of 192.168.10.10. The IP address of 192.168.10.31 needs to have a virtual connection/route with the public IP address of 200.200.200.3 I have been and will continue to fool around with this, but so far when I examine the routes created, after using YaST to define the routes, nothing makes sense. I have also been using the ROUTE ADD and DEL commands to directly manipulate the route tables of rules, but still no joy getting what I need. Another question I have is - will I have to use the DHCP server to distribute routing information about these "virtual" routes and if so, how? I am also looking for a solution that does not involve putting in new cables or wireless bridges, that would be extremely challenging at this point, especially since some of these computers are in remote locations. Thanks in advance as always, for helping me with this, routes and network setup has always been a difficult area for me to grok.

[opensuse] opensuse@opensuse.org > users@lists.opensuse.org change question
by Istvan Gabor 16 Nov '20

16 Nov '20

Hello: I tried to send messages to the list as before, using the address opensuse(a)opensuse.org. The messages did not get to the list. I had to do internet search to find out what could be the problem and found that the address has been changed to users(a)lists.opensuse.org. Could someone please point me to the message in this mailing list that announced this change? Also, it seems that the list's webpage (https://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/) is not updated anymore. Is there a new address for that too? Usually I just check the list on the web and use my mail program only to send messages. Thanks, Istvan

[opensuse] Fw: [Bug 1128204] retext crashes with core dump
by Dave Howorth 15 Nov '20

Hmm, I just got this message from Atri, who I've seen looks at this list. I haven't migrated my bugzilla account because I don't want to continue to use the old account name. I just tried to respond and it wants details I cannot supply (I don't know what username/password are - I've never needed them - my browser supposedly knows them but apparently can't reproduce whatever information is required to respond to the 'migration portal') But more fundamentally, I don't use TW. I use Leap and I'm still on 15.0.

[opensuse] sddm Black Screen After Leap 15.2 Update
by sam＠fnet.cx 15 Nov '20

15 Nov '20

Hello, Today, after updating to kernel 5.3.18-lp152.50.1 on my Leap 15.2 machine, every other time or every third time I reboot the system, I never get the sddm login screen. Instead, I am presented with a black screen and sddm never loads, or if it did it's not rendering the login screen at all. There is no mouse pointer at all; my monitors don't go to sleep either, it's just a black screen being rendered. I will wait a few minutes until issuing a CTRL+ALT+F1 command, and then reboot from the terminal. There was an sddm update sometime last week which I am not sure could be the culprit, as the machine hasn't been rebooted in probably over a week so I am not able to determine which update is causing the issue. I found the following bug report upon a preliminary search, but am thinking this may be related to the recent sddm update and not the kernel: https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1178639 Has anyone ran into this? Thanks.

[opensuse] Stuck in upgrade to 15.2
by Jos van Kan 13 Nov '20

13 Nov '20

I got stuck in an upgrade from Leap 15.1 to 15.2 using zypper. After the process (zypper --releasever=15.2 --download-in-advance dup) has resolved all existing problems and I give the thumbs up to continue I get a message that requires me to agree with the conditions on Mesa-DRI-nouveau by clicking on "I agree with the conditions". I got two problems with this 1. There is no visible knob with "I agree" since I am working in a text screen, as is advised for the upgrade. So I press q (leave this pane) and then a menacing message "Do you agree or not [yes/no] (no)" appears. If I type "no" at this points the process stops because I do not agree. If I type 'yes" the machine hangs 2. I do not need Mesa-DRI-nouveau, since I don't have an Nvidia graphics card but a radeon (AMD). So why in the name of the flying spaghetti monster (blessed be her appendages) does it want to install it? It isn't installed in the current installation. So how do I get out of this deadlock? Has anyone experienced this? Thanks for any suggestions. -- Jos van Kan registered Linux user #152704

[opensuse] Leap 15.1 shutdown problem
by Istvan Gabor 12 Nov '20

12 Nov '20

Hello: Recently my openSUSE 15.1 system doesn't shut down as before. When I select turn off computer or run /sbin/poweroff the shutdown process starts and very fast reaches this state: Reached target shutdown. But the computer is not turned off but are still running for a ~90 seconds (the general systemd timeout). The console also says in red a few lines above; Failed unmounting /home. Some process may run which uses /home dir and delays shutdown. ? How can I trace and fix this? Thanks, Istvan
