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

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

[opensuse] Thunderbird - feeditems.json.corrupt
by gumb 12 Nov '20

12 Nov '20

Anybody got an item in their Thunderbird news feed list entitled 'feeditems.json.corrupt'? It's just appeared on my TB 78.4.0 on Leap 15.2. It's empty, probably (hopefully) harmless. A quick web search isn't throwing up anything directly related. I do have a few dozen feeds, some of which are near-dead so perhaps there's just a reading error somewhere which created this, but I'd like to be sure it's not a sign of greater corruption anywhere else. gumb

[opensuse] Versiera has established connection?
by Stakanov 11 Nov '20

11 Nov '20

I did use the command SS and stumbled on Leap and TW upon "versiera". tcp ESTAB 0 0 127.0.0.1:51678 127.0.0.1:versiera I have done a research and it is a package of netcraft communications. https://www.netcraftcommunications.com/docs/Versiera-UserGuide.pdf As I have a TrueNas server running on the network, it could be that this is the source of "versiera" but I am not sure. Actually the finding was a surprise to me. How to I read the SS output to understand if a source is on my machine or on a distant machine? In this case I see. the socket tcp has established a connection on local host, via the port 51678 but then I do not understand what 127.0.0.1:versiera means? Is this local or remote?

[opensuse] What to use for determining a "route"
by Stakanov 11 Nov '20

11 Nov '20

Hello to everyone reading this. Provided i wish to determine my route(s) on my network. which of these packages is NOT deprecated: iproute, iproute2, netstat (is deprecated). The first two I do not know. Have they all been superseded by "ss"? I am a bit lost on what is still maintained and what not. Formerly I used e.g. arp but I have read it is deprecated. Netstat too. Thanks in advance for updating me on what to use and..why the older package were "deprecated". Especially the latter would help my understanding.
