Hello. I have to move my photo collections to a new disk. with rsync, no problem. however I have one. I have lot of links in a folder, say: photo/ linkto2020 linkto2019 and for example, linkto2020 -> /run/media/jdd/intenso5to2/archives2020/photos to link to the real photo folder on the very same disk When I copy the link it keeps unchanged my new disk (bigger) is Seagate6to how can I have the link reference the new disk?

[opensuse] strange problem with Firefox
by Dave Howorth 25 Aug '20

25 Aug '20

I've just encountered a weird problem with Firefox. I use a local HTML file as my homepage <file:///home/dhoworth/public_html/localstart.html> to avoid problems if the network is down. On that page I have various links to pages I use a lot (e.g. BBC News) and some text entry boxes that execute google and wikipedia searches. It all works fine and has for years. This afternoon, it has suddenly stopped working: If I hover above the links I see the target URL down in the bottom corner as usual, but if I click on the link nothing happens. If I try to type into a search box, I can't, and the search buttons don't work. If I click the right mouse button, no context menu appears. This is just on my homepage. Everything works normally in the menus and toolbars, address bar etc. Every other web page seems to work as normal. e.g. I can click and type text into <https://www.w3schools.com/angular/tryit.asp?filename=try_ng_example1> So there seems to be something blocking just my homepage. If I start as new browser session as a different user and load my homepage into that, everything works. I suspect that if I close my current browser session and then start a new one, it will work too, but I'd like to try to understand what is happening first. Any ideas, anyone? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Leap 15.2: Fail to start network during reboot
by Darryl Gregorash 22 Aug '20

22 Aug '20

The last two times my system has been rebooted, it failed to start the network service. I had to do a manual restart to get internet service. I have no idea where to look to correct the problem. Here are the relevant log entries from the latest reboot (apologies for the long lines -- I did not write them :) ): > 2020-08-21T07:00:58.683449-06:00 hadron systemd[1]: Starting wicked DHCPv4 supplicant service... > 2020-08-21T07:00:58.684634-06:00 hadron systemd[1]: Starting wicked AutoIPv4 supplicant service... > 2020-08-21T07:00:58.685617-06:00 hadron systemd[1]: Starting wicked DHCPv6 supplicant service... > 2020-08-21T07:00:58.708869-06:00 hadron systemd[1]: Started wicked AutoIPv4 supplicant service. > 2020-08-21T07:00:58.709093-06:00 hadron systemd[1]: Started wicked DHCPv6 supplicant service. > 2020-08-21T07:00:58.709203-06:00 hadron systemd[1]: Started wicked DHCPv4 supplicant service. > 2020-08-21T07:00:58.710197-06:00 hadron systemd[1]: Starting wicked network management service daemon... > 2020-08-21T07:00:58.727620-06:00 hadron systemd[1]: Started wicked network management service daemon. > 2020-08-21T07:00:58.730168-06:00 hadron systemd[1]: Starting wicked network nanny service... > 2020-08-21T07:00:58.750880-06:00 hadron systemd[1]: Started wicked network nanny service. > 2020-08-21T07:00:58.751912-06:00 hadron systemd[1]: Starting wicked managed network interfaces... > 2020-08-21T07:01:02.276106-06:00 hadron wickedd-dhcp4[1380]: eth0: Request to acquire DHCPv4 lease with UUID 8bc53f5f-8cf8-0400-7805-000004000000 > 2020-08-21T07:01:12.551065-06:00 hadron wickedd-dhcp4[1380]: unable to confirm lease > 2020-08-21T07:01:17.550092-06:00 hadron wickedd-dhcp4[1380]: eth0: defer timeout 15 reached (state INIT) > 2020-08-21T07:01:18.898020-06:00 hadron wickedd-dhcp4[1380]: eth0: Request to acquire DHCPv4 lease with UUID 8bc53f5f-8cf8-0400-7805-000004000000 > 2020-08-21T07:01:21.647605-06:00 hadron wickedd-dhcp4[1380]: eth0: Committed DHCPv4 lease with address 192.168.100.11 (lease time 20 sec, renew in 10 sec, rebind in 17 sec) > 2020-08-21T07:01:24.416691-06:00 hadron wicked[1432]: lo up > 2020-08-21T07:01:24.416892-06:00 hadron wicked[1432]: eth0 up > 2020-08-21T07:01:24.417323-06:00 hadron systemd[1]: Started wicked managed network interfaces. > 2020-08-21T07:01:32.711744-06:00 hadron wickedd-dhcp4[1380]: eth0: Committed DHCPv4 lease with address 192.168.100.11 (lease time 20 sec, renew in 10 sec, rebind in 17 sec) > 2020-08-21T07:01:32.803748-06:00 hadron wickedd[1400]: route ipv4 0.0.0.0/0 via 192.168.100.1 dev eth0#2 type unicast table main scope universe protocol dhcp covered by a ipv4:dhcp lease > 2020-08-21T07:01:43.747638-06:00 hadron wickedd-dhcp4[1380]: eth0: Committed DHCPv4 lease with address 192.168.100.11 (lease time 20 sec, renew in 10 sec, rebind in 17 sec) > 2020-08-21T07:01:43.803702-06:00 hadron wickedd[1400]: route ipv4 0.0.0.0/0 via 192.168.100.1 dev eth0#2 type unicast table main scope universe protocol dhcp covered by a ipv4:dhcp lease > 2020-08-21T07:02:00.782677-06:00 hadron wickedd-dhcp4[1380]: unable to renew lease within renewal period; trying to rebind Here is where I restarted the network: > 2020-08-21T07:03:10.496616-06:00 hadron systemd[1]: Stopping wicked managed network interfaces... > 2020-08-21T07:03:10.510545-06:00 hadron wickedd-dhcp4[1380]: eth0: Request to release DHCPv4 lease with UUID 8bc53f5f-8cf8-0400-7805-000004000000: releasing... > 2020-08-21T07:03:11.081974-06:00 hadron wicked[6657]: eth0 device-ready > 2020-08-21T07:03:11.082735-06:00 hadron systemd[1]: Stopped wicked managed network interfaces. > 2020-08-21T07:03:11.084097-06:00 hadron systemd[1]: Starting wicked managed network interfaces... > 2020-08-21T07:03:14.447887-06:00 hadron wickedd-dhcp4[1380]: eth0: Request to acquire DHCPv4 lease with UUID 8bc53f5f-8cf8-0400-7805-00000a000000 > 2020-08-21T07:03:15.339660-06:00 hadron wickedd-dhcp4[1380]: eth0: Committed DHCPv4 lease with address 24.72.0.229 (lease time 172800 sec, renew in 86400 sec, rebind in 172500 sec) > 2020-08-21T07:03:16.371503-06:00 hadron wicked[6774]: lo up > 2020-08-21T07:03:16.371707-06:00 hadron wicked[6774]: eth0 up > 2020-08-21T07:03:16.372201-06:00 hadron systemd[1]: Started wicked managed network interfaces. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] KDE menu not appearing sometimes
by Mikhail Ramendik 22 Aug '20

22 Aug '20

Hello, I have a machine that runs Leap 15.1, updated from 15.0 about a week ago. It has a problem that started back in 15.0. Sometimes the main KDE menu, the one in the bottom left corner, just stops appearing. It can not be conjured by clicks on the icon, nor by the "Windows" key on the keyboard. Logging off and on resolves the issue, until it happens again. It is not clear so far what triggers it, but maybe some game - my son uses this machine and he runs Team Fortress 2 and Minecraft (from Steam). How can I troubleshoot this?

[opensuse] Curious bug with Firefox? KDE?
by James Knott 19 Aug '20

19 Aug '20

Recently, there's been a bug with the way open Firefox icons are displayed. These are the icons that appear when the cursor is held over an open app. With Firefox, all instances show the same content, which makes it impossible to choose the desired one. Clicking on the icon produces the desired list of open windows. Has anyone else noticed this? Ideas? tnx jk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Opensuse search comments
by Carlos E. R. 19 Aug '20

19 Aug '20

Hi, I noticed that the opensuse package search applet has disappeared from my Firefox. I don't remember if we commented about this? :-? But there is an <https://search.opensuse.org/> link. By default it searches using Google (can be changed), but clicking on "packages" it goes to: <https://search.opensuse.org/packages/> However, it I type a package name, Firefox issues this warning: The information you have entered on this page will be sent over an insecure connection and could be read by a third party. Are you sure you want to send this information? So part of the page is not using https. And it fails to find "grub-customizer", which is here: <https://software.opensuse.org/download.html?project=home%3Aecsos&package=gr…> -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

[opensuse] move a bootable btrfs os between two drives
by Ralph 18 Aug '20

18 Aug '20

Hello! Probably a newbie-type question but I've never moved a bootable btrfs os between two drives before so if anyone has any suggestions on best-way it would be highly appreciated :) I have a machine with 2 nvme drives, both have a Leap installation, both btrfs, both bootable thru efimanager selection as well as grub2. The nvme0 is 15.1, nvme1 is 15.0. I am going to upgrade the 15.1 installation to 15.2. Before I do that, I want to move/copy the existing 15.1 installation to nvme1, overwriting the existing 15.0 installation. There are other partitions on both drives which will remain where they are, and thus there is no extra available space on either drive. For speed-of-drive reasons, I can not just install the new 15.2 over the 15.0, I want it on nvme0. df -h tells me the 15.0 os total partition size is 60G, while the 15.1 to overwrite it is bigger at 69G. Actual used space of the 15.1 os is 24G says df. How best to move the 15.1? I have an available empty 128G usb stick if an intermediary device is needed. Thanks.

[opensuse] pulseaudio open port
by ken 18 Aug '20

18 Aug '20

Checking out my newly installed system, I found in "ss -tulpn" this: Netid State Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address:Port Peer Address:PortProcess ... tcp LISTEN 0 5 [::]:16001 [::]:* users:(("pulseaudio",pid=5819,fd=45)) ... 5819 is the pid for /usr/bin/pulseaudio, which is a networked sound server, but is 16001 the proper port? It's listed in /usr/etc/services as: fmsascon 16001/tcp # Administration Server Connector [Mark_Davidson] (This is one of several ports used by the well known FileMaker.) Moreover: # rpm -Vf /usr/bin/pulseaudio .M....... g /var/lib/pulseaudio It's odd that (1) the mode of this "file" should not match the rpm database, especially considering it's an empty directory. And what does the "g" mean? Also # ls -ld /usr/bin/pulseaudio -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 92352 Jul 22 14:17 /usr/bin/pulseaudio which means that the process listening on an open port is owned by and running as root, which I'd consider a security vulnerability. Does everyone else have these same? tia. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Computer won't boot OS
by Mark Misulich 18 Aug '20

18 Aug '20

Hi, after a recent update, I noticed on the grub screen that my multiboot with Win was no longer present, and the only option for boot was Opensuse 15.2, followed by the next line of Advanced options for boot Opensuse 15.2. I didn't consider that too much of an issue, as this has happened occasionally, and I just boot Opensuse, open Yast, and rerun the bootloader setup. I did this, and now I can't boot my laptop into either operating system. When I try to boot up, the computer boots to the password screen for the bios, then when I input the password, I get into the bios setup program. But things aren't right there, and I have no boot device setup menu in the boot configuration screen. I can't move around all the options in the bios, as the cursor won't move to the normal items in the menus. Once I save the settings to move beyond the bios setup screens in the boot process, the computer reboots to the bios password screen again. The process of saving the bios settings brings me back to the bios password screen each time the computer reboots. I can never get to the grub menu screen. If I try to boot into the shortcut boot device selection menu, using the appropriate key when I boot the computer, I can't get to that menu. The boot process takes me to the bios password input screen again. It seems that the bios may not be recognizing any options of boot devices, as it isn't listing any. I hope that I have described this using correct terminology so that the members of the list can understand the problem. The computer is a ASUS Q303 laptop. What I have tried to fix the problem: 1. I tried to boot using Supergrub2 disc via a usb connected external drive. But the drive never gets recognized, and I can't get to the Supergrub program. 2. I downloaded the bios software on another computer, and loaded it to a USB stick. Then I inserted the USB stick into the laptop and booted into the bios setup, where there is a selection for one to reflash the bios program. But the cursor won't move to that selection in the bios menu, so I can't reflash the bios. I had hoped that by reflashing the bios it might resolve the booting problem I would appreciate some help to resolve this problem.
