[opensuse] 15.2 kernel update today - devel, source and syms not updated from 5.3.18-19?
by David C. Rankin 08 Jul '20

08 Jul '20

All, Any reason anyone can think of that a zypper up on 15.2 would not have updated the installed: kernel-default-devel 5.3.18-lp152.20.7.1 kernel-devel 5.3.18-lp152.20.7.1 kernel-preempt-devel 5.3.18-lp152.20.7.1 kernel-source 5.3.18-lp152.20.7.1 kernel-syms 5.3.18-lp152.20.7.1 Following update I had to go back and manually install the devel files and source so the VBox 52.2.42 modules would build correctly. After the original zypper up, the dkms ran correctly attempting to build the modules, but since the needed kernel packages were not pulled in on update, it didn't succeed. I don't recall ever having some kernel packages update without zypper checking and updating all kernel packages on the system. Any ideas? -- David C.

[opensuse] FYI: networkmanager 1.24.2 disables wake on lan unless you tell it otherwise.
by Mathias Homann 07 Jul '20

07 Jul '20

Hi, to whom it might be of interest: NetworkManager 1.24.2 (for example, from the OBS Gnome repos) disables wake- on-lan unless you configure the connection differently. nmcli con mod eth0 802-3-ethernet.wake-on-lan magic restores proper behaviour.

[opensuse] Leap 15.2 and group vboxusers
by Robin Klitscher 06 Jul '20

06 Jul '20

A fresh installation from DVD of Leap 15.2 from the official image released on 2 July but dated 26 June in the mirrors. KDE Plasma desktop. The only departure from the published 15.2 standard is the nVidia proprietary drivers installed “the hard way” to replace Nouveau. Installed VirtualBox 6.1.10. There are a number of issues, but the one I least understand is outlined below. Trying to boot a vm fails with a message that I’m not a member of the vboxusers group. The command <groups> in a terminal confirms this. This is consistent with the GUI “User and Group Management” module in YaST, which does not offer the vboxusers group as an option at all, so I can't add it using the GUI. The command <usermod -aG (group) (username)> has no effect. So it would seem that the group vboxusers isn't present. Except that trying to add group vboxusers using <groupadd> (as root) from the command line returns the message “vboxusers already exists”. And it is indeed listed in /etc/groups as vboxusers:x:461 So we have a situation where the VirtualBox installation, the command <groups> in a terminal and the YaST GUI all think the vboxusers group is missing. In direct contradiction, however, the command <groupadd> in a terminal and the content of the file /etc/groups think it does exist. That doesn't make sense, but figuring out why is well beyond my expertise. I certainly don’t know how to fix it (or even if it’s fixable). But are there any suggestions; or do I bite the bullet and re-install the OS from scratch? -- Robin K Wellington "Harbour City" New Zealand -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] "updates will NOT be installed"
by Wolfgang Mueller 06 Jul '20

06 Jul '20

Typing "zypper up", I get this response: Loading repository data... Reading installed packages... The following 7 package updates will NOT be installed: MozillaThunderbird libfreebl3 libfreebl3-hmac libsoftokn3 libsoftokn3-hmac mozilla-nspr mozilla-nss-certs Nothing to do. It could also have told me that millions of other updates would not be installed. Why did it nominate just these seven ones?

[opensuse] Firefox and HTML5
by James Knott 06 Jul '20

06 Jul '20

I've noticed some sites now require HTML5, which Firefox apparently doesn't support, at least not the version in Leap 15.2. I tried installing an addin, but that didn't work. HTML5 works in Chromium. Any plans to correct this? tnx jk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Boring error messages
by Wolfgang Mueller 06 Jul '20

06 Jul '20

After I upgraded to Leap 15.2, boring error messages appear showing the following content: Software updates 1 min ago Update error Failed to obtain authentication. See also http://ariannuccia.de/temp/update_error.k76.jpg Is there any way to provide the missing authentication? If not so, how can I suppress the messages?

[opensuse] Task bar no longer sorted in 15.2
by James Knott 05 Jul '20

05 Jul '20

Yesterday, I upgraded 2 systems to Leap 15.2. I've noticed a couple of differences on the task bar. First off, open items are no longer sorted alphabetically. Also, apps running on other virtual desktops are no longer shown on the task bar. For example, I have 4 virtual desktops in KDE. If I have something running on desktop 2, it's not in the task bar for desktop 1.

[opensuse] Leap 15.2 : No CPU boost on AMD Bristol Ridge
by Simon Heimbach 04 Jul '20

04 Jul '20

Hello everybody, I just did a fresh install of Leap 15.2 on my notebook with an AMD A10-9600P (Excavator, Bristol Ridge). While the system works, it is sluggish under load and I notice, that the CPU does not change its core-frequencies. When running watch -n1 "cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep \"^[c]pu MHz\"" I always get cpu MHz : 798.283 cpu MHz : 798.485 cpu MHz : 798.307 cpu MHz : 798.423 KsysGuard (the KDE advanced system monitor) reports exactly the same. The chip theoretically boosts up to 2.4 Ghz and did so under Leap 15.1 and other previous releases. How can I get my CPU to boost again? Any help is highly appreciated! Thank you!
