[opensuse] Pfeifer's Proposal on [opensuse-announce] for "Closing the Leap Gap"

by David C. Rankin

All, I'm not sure who all follows the [opensuse-announce] list here but Gerald Pfeifer posted a proposal under the thread "[opensuse-announce] Bringing Leap and SUSE Linux Enterprise closer together - a proposal" that is worth a read for all openSUSE advocates. It makes a great deal of sense if it will result in a reduction time spent between the two project essentially maintaining similar aspects of the distro. All above my openSUSE pay-grade, but worth staying abreast of things that could impact the distro as early as 15.2 -- especially when it looks like it could be a good impact. -- David C.

[opensuse] valgrind - swapping with SSD locks machine during swap - bug or feature?

by David C. Rankin

All, I think it was James that had a similar question, but at the time I had no context to compare it to. But I had an occurrence last night where running valgrind on a simple bit of code that allocated 4.5G causes the my box to swap. The machine was in hardlock during swap -- no mouse pointer movement, not keyboard control -- no nothing. I was contemplating a hard reset while I sat waiting... and waiting... and waiting (probably no more than 3 minutes -- but that provides a lot of time to think about whether you need to nuke it or not) I have had boxes swap hundreds and hundreds of times over the decades, but never had a box exhibit this "hard-lock" behavior before. I now valgrid sets up its own protected environment to do its work in, but I don't see why it swapping would have any worse of different impact on the system than anything else swapping (I just don't know -- but wouldn't expect it to) Is this a bug, a feature, a valgrind special environment issue? If I recall the earlier thread (there have been a couple - Why swap?, etc.. recently), James or whoever it was was seeing similar unresponsiveness during the swap. I ran into this answering a question on StackOverflow. With 8G of RAM total allocating 4.5 while you have a full desktop with a dozen or so tabs in Firefox, etc. will cause your box to swap. Simple example code posted at: https://paste.opensuse.org/3916734 Why would the system appear locked while valgrind was swapping? -- David C.

[opensuse] Adobe Flash still needed

by Carlos E. R.

<https://cadenaser.com/emisora/2020/04/01/ser_las_palmas/1585739228_219410.h…> It uses flash... The link was posted this month. Plays fine in Chrome, and in FF once I click on allow flash. It is not me that needs convincing not to use flash, it is them sites. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.1 x86_64 at Telcontar)

[opensuse] keeping multiple kernels on ARM systems ?

by Per Jessen

I'm sure many have this feature enabled, just in case. Keeping multiple kernels and module versions around. On one of my ARM systems, yesterday I ran an update "zypper patch" (Leap 15.0), which installed a new kernel 4.12.14-lp150.12.82-lpae, the old one being 4.12.14-lp150.12.48-lpae. Both initrds were rebuilt, I have two kernels, two sets of modules - but my dtb was cleared out: /boot/dtb-4.12.14-lp150.12.48/ - empty apart from one file I had renamed to .old. I use my own DTB, but this did not prevent the system from booting, instead it did stop the network from coming up (wifi device not correctly defined in the openSUSE supplied DTB). I had to climb some 10meters up a ladder to retrieve the box, disassemble it and put a serial console on it :-) Question - the multiple kernels feature ought to have retained my dtb directory contents in /boot/dtb-4.12.14-lp150.12.48/ ? Or not ? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (15.0°C) http://www.cloudsuisse.com/ - your owncloud, hosted in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] LXDE and XFCE4 power settings?

by Richmond

During the installation I selected LXDE as the desktop. I noticed that XFCE4 power settings were installed. Is that intentional? Are they supposed to work? They don't seem to work and I haven't found the LXDE equivalent. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] tumbleweed, wicked wifi, stopped working

Hi, since some tumbleweed updates (around the start of 2020) my wifi will not start any more. even not manually (there is a known bug for this, and as i know it is solved now). i have no idea, so there are some logs: hope somebody could point me to where to look for. again, wifi was working before, only tumbleweed updates, no manual change in config was done. becherer7:/home/simon # wicked ifcheck wlp2s0 wlp2s0 device exists = yes becherer7:/home/simon # wicked ifstatus all lo up link: #1, state up type: loopback config: compat:suse:/etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-lo leases: ipv4 static granted addr: ipv4 127.0.0.1/8 [static] enp3s0 enslaved link: #2, state up, mtu 1500, master bond0 type: ethernet, hwaddr 18:67:b0:b9:a6:58 config: compat:suse:/etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-enp3s0 wlp2s0 device-not-running link: #3, state down, mtu 1500 type: wireless config: compat:suse:/etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-wlp2s0 bond0 up link: #4, state up, mtu 1500 type: bond, mode active-backup, hwaddr 18:67:b0:b9:a6:58 config: compat:suse:/etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-bond0 leases: ipv4 static granted addr: ipv4 192.168.0.23/24 [static] route: ipv4 default via 192.168.0.99 [static] becherer7:/home/simon # wicked ifup wlp2s0 wlp2s0 device-not-running wicked --log-level debug ifup wlp2s0 wicked: __ni_config_parse_ifconfig_source: Adding ifconfig firmware: wicked: __ni_config_parse_ifconfig_source: Adding ifconfig compat: wicked: __ni_config_parse_ifconfig_source: Adding ifconfig wicked: wicked: trying to discover netif config via firmware service "ibft" wicked: ni_netconfig_firmware_discovery: buffer has 0 bytes wicked: ni_sysconfig_read(/etc/sysconfig/network/config) wicked: ni_sysconfig_read(/etc/sysconfig/network/dhcp) wicked: ni_suse_read_routes(/etc/sysconfig/network/routes) wicked: Reading sysctl file '/boot/sysctl.conf-5.6.2-1-default' wicked: Reading sysctl file '/usr/lib/sysctl.d/50-default.conf' wicked: Reading sysctl file '/usr/lib/sysctl.d/51-network.conf' wicked: Reading sysctl file '/usr/lib/sysctl.d/50-coredump.conf' wicked: Reading sysctl file '/etc/sysctl.conf' wicked: Reading sysctl file '/etc/sysctl.d/sysctl.conf' wicked: Ignoring blacklisted ifcfg-file: ifcfg-wlp2s0.bak wicked: Ignoring blacklisted ifcfg-file: ifcfg-bond0.bak wicked: Ignoring blacklisted ifcfg-file: ifcfg-enp3s0.bak wicked: ni_sysconfig_read(/etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-lo) wicked: ni_sysconfig_read(/etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-enp3s0) wicked: ni_sysconfig_read(/etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-wlp2s0) wicked: ni_sysconfig_read(/etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-bond0) wicked: ni_suse_read_routes(/etc/sysconfig/network/ifroute-bond0) wicked: Parsed route: ipv4 0.0.0.0/0 via 192.168.0.99 dev bond0 type unicast table main scope universe protocol boot wicked: ni_compat_generate_interfaces: compat:suse:/etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-lo:0 wicked: ni_compat_generate_interfaces: compat:suse:/etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-enp3s0:0 wicked: ni_compat_generate_interfaces: compat:suse:/etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-wlp2s0:0 wicked: ni_compat_generate_interfaces: compat:suse:/etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-bond0:0 wicked: No valid configuration files found at /etc/wicked/ifconfig wicked: bond0: configuration applied to nanny wicked: wlp2s0: configuration applied to nanny wicked: enp3s0: configuration applied to nanny wlp2s0 device-not-running Apr 12 11:06:21 becherer7 systemd[1]: Starting wicked AutoIPv4 supplicant service...

[opensuse] Missing menu in libreoffice draw

by Dave Howorth

I'm just trying to start using libreoffice draw. Leap 15.0 LO Version: 6.2.7.1 (yes I know it's old) The help for Arranging Objects says: "2. Choose Modify - Arrange ..." and searching the help reveals that Modify is supposedly a menu. But there is no Modify menu. Menus are: File Edit View Insert Format Page Shape Tools Window Help A quick web search hasn't shown anything helpful. Does anybody know how to fix this?

[opensuse] SMB1 Support

by Paul Groves

Hi I have an old computer which only supports SMB1 protocol. Is it possible to create a share in Samba and force that share to be SMB1? Would be good id I could also only allow this one client IP to connect to it if this is possible too?
