ihu can't resolve host
by Istvan Gabor 20 Dec '20

20 Dec '20

Hello: I have downloaded and installed IHU voip program from opensuse repos (https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/network/openSUSE_Leap_15.1/x86_6…) The installation was without error and the program starts. But when I enter a host to call, be it any host or localhost, I get this error: IHU Error Error: can't resolve localhost (or given host) If I try to call again, IHU stops with "Segmentation fault (core dumped)" message in the konsole (if I start IHU from the konsole). My system is openSUSE Leap 15.1 with KDE3. Network is managed by networkmanager. Is this an IHU issue or a system configuration problem? Would be nice if I could solve it. Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Istvan

Change webcam aspect ratio
by James Knott 20 Dec '20

20 Dec '20

I was recently experimenting with VLC and somehow it changed my webcam aspect ratio from 16:9 to 4:3, so that when I'm in video chats, I now have bars at the sides of my image. I have been searching, but cannot find any way to change it back. Any idea how to do that? Also what is VLC (or any other app) doing setting the aspect ratio, so that other apps are affected? tnx jk

greetings & first question: Yast error
by mauro 20 Dec '20

20 Dec '20

Hello everybody from Italy first time poster here, and, I would say also quite a beginner, although I'm using this fine distro for my home affairs for a few years now. In Leap 15.2 with KDE/Plasma, opening the module "Boot loader" in Yast, I recently get the following error: ------------------------------------------------------------------ Parse error while reading file /etc/default/grub YaST cannot continue and will quit. Possible causes and remedies: You made a mistake when changing the file by hand, the syntax is invalid. Try reverting the changes. The syntax is in fact valid but YaST does not recognize it. Please report a YaST bug. YaST made a mistake and wrote invalid syntax earlier. Please report a YaST bug. Caller: /usr/lib64/ruby/gems/2.5.0/gems/cfa-1.0.2/lib/cfa/augeas_parser.rb:458:in `report_activity_error!' Details: Augeas parsing error: Get did not match entire input at /etc/default/grub:27:0, lens /usr/share/augeas/lenses/dist/sysconfig.aug:65.12-.71: ------------------------------------------------------------------ Since my /etc/default/grub has always served me well, its syntax is not the issue. I shall suppose this is a sort of bug, but before I report it as such, I'd like to ask you how to try to debug it, which info to collect to best represent the problem. I've unsuccessfully tried to re-run: # grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg Apart from that I wouldn't know where to start investigating Any clue is welcomed Thank you Cheers, Mauro

new 15.2 install - unable to configure sound card
by Michael Fischer 18 Dec '20

18 Dec '20

Trying to configure with Yast2 gives: ------------------------------------------------------ Comet Lake PCH cAVS The kernel module snd-soc-skl for sound support could not be loaded. This can be caused by incorrect module parameters, includig invalid IO or IRQ parameters ------------------------------------------------------ Which is slightly odd, as alsa-info.sh reports that snd_soc_skl is a loaded module... Google isn't being particularly helpful with the above text. Suggestions? Should I mail the alsa-info.txt output? TIA, Michael -- Michael Fischer michael(a)visv.net

vim bug
by Michael Fischer 18 Dec '20

18 Dec '20

15.2 fresh install the existence of even a BLANK ~/.vimrc prevents colors from working properly with the 8.0.1568-lp152.8.3.1 vim, vim-data-common, vim-data Content of the ~/.vimrc doesn't seem to matter. doing ":colorscheme $whatever" does seem to change the display subtly, but it certainly doesn't do what it is supposed to (slightly different grayscale, if one squints and looks for it) Checking a properly working 15.2 on another machine, I find that it has 8.0.1568-lp152.7.1 Downgrading those packages on the problem machine to 8.0.1568-lp152.7.1 works. I don't have a bugzilla account (that I can recall). Should I try something there or...? Michael -- Michael Fischer michael(a)visv.net

Raid 5 - Kernel 5.10 Bug, Fixed in 5.10.1
by David C. Rankin 17 Dec '20

17 Dec '20

All, If you use raid5 and update to Linux 5.10, be away of a bug that causes misreporting of array size. See 12/15 thread on linux-raid(a)vger.kernel.org Array size dropped from 40TB to 7TB when upgrading to 5.10 and https://go.reg.cx/tdml/dfd67/60022c7f/473006b1/3Y1W Fixed in 5.10.1 -- but may cause brief nervous breakdowns, etc.. -- David C.

Link error on opensuse.org?
by Roger Oberholtzer 15 Dec '20

15 Dec '20

Just curious. Does this link take you to the package, or to the openSUSE download page? https://software.opensuse.org/package/show/openSUSE%3AFactory/python-geojson It is taking me to the openSUSE download page, not the package. It does this for all packages., not just this one. I have just set up a new Tumbleweed system with everything up-to-date. So one never knows where the issue is... -- Roger Oberholtzer
