[opensuse] Memtest & UEFI
by James Knott 26 May '22

26 May '22

In openSUSE 15.1, memtest, as installed, would not work with UEFI. Has this been fixed in 15.2? There is a version on the memtest website that will work with it. tnx jk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Bug in usb drivers? "Not enough bandwidth for new device state"
by Markus Egg 28 Feb '22

28 Feb '22

SuSE Tumbleweed with newest updates and upgrades. 5.7.1-1-default #1 SMP Wed Jun 10 11:53:46 UTC 2020 (6a549f6) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Just recently started to give error messages when plugging in e.g. USB Headsets, Arduino Uno into some Exsys USB 3.0 hub. This was working fine in Tumbleweed before and in e.g. SuSE 13.1. The error message is e.g.: [...]usb 2-1.4.3: new full-speed USB device number 10 using xhci_hcd [...]usb 2-1.4.3: New USB device found, idVendor=2341, idProduct=0043, bcdDevice= 0.01 [...]usb 2-1.4.3: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=220 [...]usb 2-1.4.3: Manufacturer: Arduino (www.arduino.cc) ...serialnumber... [...]kernel: usb 2-1.4.3: Not enough bandwidth for new device state. [...]kernel: usb 2-1.4.3: can't set config #1, error -28 This error message started on Jun 04, after making an update (zypper up) on June 3rd. A USB3.0 stick is working on the Exsys Hub. The Arduino is working on some other USB 3.0 Port of another hub. Regression? Any hints how to get this away? Found only another occurrence of this bug: http://opensuse92.rssing.com/chan-20813128/all_p1407.html Best regards -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Kernel compilation the openSUSE way?
by Bjoern Voigt 28 Nov '21

28 Nov '21

I usually take the newest openSUSE kernel (from repository Kernel_stable). But since some month I have a DVB T2 HD card, which requires a patch (see https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=194171). So I need to compile kernels myself. I have a working compilation path. But the current path has 12 steps! It takes some time. I wonder, why it is so complicated to configure, compile and install a Kernel under openSUSE. Is there a better/easier/automated way to configure, compile and install a Kernel under openSUSE? I know this blog article. But the article uses Vanilla kernels and also needs 6 steps. With additional patches (4 steps), third-party modules (2 steps) and cleanup (1 step) the article would also need 13 steps: Compiling the Linux Kernel, the SUSE way https://www.suse.com/communities/blog/compiling-de-linux-kernel-suse-way/ This is my Kernel configuration, compilation and installation path: 1. Update kernel-source and kernel-default from Kernel_stable repository 2. Save kernel-source: cp -a /usr/src/linux-4.x.y-... /usr/src/linux-4.x.y-my 3. Apply my patches cd /usr/src/linux-4.x.y-my patch -b -p1 < ~myuser/.../my-kernel-patch.patch 4. Copy standard configuration: cd /usr/src/linux-4.x.y-my cp -v /boot/config-4.11.4-1.gcba98ee-default .config 5. Edit .config: remove CONFIG_LOCALVERSION, CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL, CONFIG_EXPERT remove some hardware-dependent settings 6. edit configuration interactively: Disable CONFIG_EXPERT and CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL, because otherwise "make binrpm-pkg" creates huge kernel binaries. make oldconfig [...] Local version - append to kernel release (LOCALVERSION) [] (NEW) -my1 * * Configure standard kernel features (expert users) * Configure standard kernel features (expert users) (EXPERT) [N/y/?] (NEW) Kernel debugging (DEBUG_KERNEL) [N/y/?] (NEW) make menuconfig Do some additional configuration. 7. Compile kernel (-j4 for four processor cores, ionice and nice to reduce the load, binrpm-pkg for RPM without source-RPM) make clean nice ionice -c idle make -j4 binrpm-pkg 8. Install the kernel RPM package rpm -Uvh /usr/src/packages/RPMS/x86_64/kernel-4.x.y_my1-....x86_64.rpm 9. Install necessary symbolic links for "dkms" cd /lib/modules/4.x.y-my1 ln -sv /usr/src/linux-4.x.y-my source ln -sv /usr/src/linux-4.x.y-my build 10. Update third-party modules (e.g. Nvidia driver): dkms install -m nvidia -v 375.66 -k 4.x.y-my1 11. Cleanup cd /usr/src/linux-4.x.y-my make clean 12. Select Grub configuration and reboot grub2-once --list | less grub2-once 2 reboot Greetings, Björn -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

Upgrade from Leap 15.1 to 15.2 Desktop Failure
by Jim Flanagan 30 Jun '21

30 Jun '21

Greetings, Just did an upgrade from my stable Leap 15.1 install to 15.2. I downloaded the DVD and did the upgrade from booting that. It asked me if I wanted to used the online repos as I have an internet connection so I said OK. Everything seemed to go well and booting into my KDE desktop. But clicking the gecko start menu gives an error. "Error loading QML file:file///sur/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.kicker/contents/ui/main.qml:27:1: module "org.kde.plasma.private.kicker: is not installed" The system is running and I see my desktop widgets doing their thing. But I can't do anything. I can get to tty1 and login as root but I don't know what to do from there. I tried running yast in tty1 but get errors when I try software management. This system was first installed with Leap 15.0, upgraded to 15.1, now to a partially broken 15.2. Any suggestions most welcome. Jim F

[opensuse] libc segfaults attaching an iPad

I just tried to attach an iPad to my openSUSE 15.0 system, via USB. I think I've done it before, but this time it fails.

Some apps suddenly take a long time to start (OpenSUSE 15.2, XFCE4)
by Aaron Digulla 07 Jan '21

07 Jan '21

Hi, One of the recent patches to OpenSUSE 15.2 introduced a bug. The effect is that some apps suddenly take 5-10 seconds to start instead of showing up instantly as before. Afterwards, they work smoothly. Affected apps are: - keepassxc-2.6.2-lp152.3.9.1.x86_64 - virtualbox-qt-6.1.16-lp152.2.8.1.x86_64 The bug seems to be this one: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dbus/+bug/1852016 When using strace, I noticed that the programs hang polling Unix sockets like /tmp/.X11-unix/X0 or /run/user/1000/bus. I couldn't find a related bug in openSUSE. The workaround is to start the app from the command line using dbus-launch: dbus-launch keepassxc I noticed that the first time in the middle of December, certainly before the 26th. I've attached the entire update history. In the history, I see a new version of Qt 5, glib 2, nvidia-glG05 460.27, aaa_base 84.87. There are no updates to systemd or dbus itself. The affected apps above use Qt for the UI but also glib 2. Has anyone else similar problems? Regards, -- Aaron "Optimizer" Digulla a.k.a.

Support for HEIC files
by Gerald Pfeifer 07 Jan '21

07 Jan '21

I got some photos in HEIC format (which appears to be common in the Apple world) and ... nothing I had on my notebook could open them. GIMP seems to happily handle those. eog (GNOME image viewer) and magick (ImageMagick) - no luck. libheif1-1.10.0-11.1.x86_64 is installed on this Tumbleweed system. -> How do we get eog to process HEIC images? -> How do we get magick to process HEIC images? -> Corollary: is there some other tool that converts those to JPEG/PNG? Thank you, Gerald

Someone knowledgeable about this?
by Dr.-Ing. Dieter Jurzitza 07 Jan '21

07 Jan '21

Dear listmembers, I am maintaining the package tgif (or at least try to do so ...). In order to provide "umlauts" (ok, an European problem :-)) I need the package libidn- devel at compile time _and_ at runtime. I found the reason now - but I do not know how to circumvent this and whether or not this is my error or a more basic packaging error. If libidn-devel is _not_ installed, I get the following packages in /usr/ lib64: djunix:/usr/lib64 # la libidn* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 16. Mai 2020 libidn2.so.0 -> libidn2.so.0.3.6* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 117160 16. Mai 2020 libidn2.so.0.3.6* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 16. Mai 2020 libidn.so.11 -> libidn.so.11.6.18* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 211520 16. Mai 2020 libidn.so.11.6.18* In contrast, if libidn-devel is in place, I get the following packages in / usr/lib64: djunix:/usr/lib64 # la libidn* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 16. Mai 2020 libidn2.so.0 -> libidn2.so.0.3.6* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 117160 16. Mai 2020 libidn2.so.0.3.6* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 16. Mai 2020 libidn.so -> libidn.so.11.6.18* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 16. Mai 2020 libidn.so.11 -> libidn.so.11.6.18* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 211520 16. Mai 2020 libidn.so.11.6.18* The difference stems from the link libidn.so -> libidn.so.11.6.18 being available - what is not the case without libidn-devel. Obviously I need this very link to make tgif functional - so, is this an error of tgif trying to use libidn.so or is it a package error of libidn that should provide libidn.so even without the devel-package of libidn being present? Any comment is highly appreciated, thank you, take care Dieter -- ----------------------------------------------------------- Dr.-Ing. Dieter Jurzitza 76131 Karlsruhe
