why is external disk written to crypttab?
by Daniel Bauer 26 Jan '21

26 Jan '21

Hi, when booting I have a message a start ob is running for de-disk-by\... It takes one and half a minute until it gives up. After googling I found that this is because of an entry in crypttab for an encrypted disk that is not available at boot time. Actually it is a external back-up disk that I only mount when needed and then remove again. So I removed that entry from crypttab and next boot was fine, but because of some magic the entry in crypttab appeares again and the boot delay also happens again, of course. That external disk isn't in fstab. I just plug it, wait for the notifier to see it, click to attach it, enter the passphrase. Later I remove it with that same notifier. Why is an entry written to crypttab? Can I avoid that somehow? Thanks for hints.

kubernetes options on vanilla tumbleweed (btrfs)
by Ralf Lang 24 Jan '21

24 Jan '21

Hi, I am looking for a simple kubernetes distribution which will run on vanilla tumbleweed with btrfs and will not require a VM. I intend to edit live container/pod code via vscode's docker integration. Seems like minikube does not like btrfs and would require a VM which I don't like on a dev laptop. In Windows and Mac scenarios I just run the kubernetes options of Docker Desktop. This is obviously nothing to expose to the internet or run live workloads, just an easy dev setup. Which option would you suggest?

KDE woes
by Roger Oberholtzer 24 Jan '21

24 Jan '21

On an up-to-date Tumbleweed computer, my daughter now has trouble with things like the clock in the KDE status bar. She suspected that it was not updating properly so she turned on showing seconds. And she sees that it is very uneven about when time is updated. We have looked at the processes running and the memory and swap usage. I cannot see anything that would explain such delays. The clock update is useful when she is taking remote exams (at the University). Also, after the update, programs like zoom have become unstable. Zoom itself was not updated. But all else has been as part of the usual Tumbleweed updates. My own system (different laptop so not the same hardware) with basically the same versions of all software does not exhibit this behavior. I'm not sure where to start looking. X is whatever the default would be as the result of a Tumbleweed install. My daughter's install is a couple years old. It has been fine up to the update done in late December. All updates since then are also installed, but they have not helped. Any suggestions where to look? As I seldom have trouble, I confess that I'm a bit rusty at this type of thing. I googled the clock thing but I did not find much. Of course, it may not even be the clock part that is the real problem... -- Roger Oberholtzer

vim syntax highlighting
by Wolfgang Rosenauer 24 Jan '21

24 Jan '21

Hi, it seems that after my latest update of vim (on Leap 15.2) my syntax highlighting configuration is not working correctly anymore. I have something along the following lines in my .vimrc: let color = "true" if has("syntax") if color == "true" " This will switch colors ON " if we use xterm we use our own color definitions " in cause of background color if &term=="xterm" syntax on And xterm is still what I use here. My vimrc is VERY old and apparently something changed recently so it's not cooperating with the rest of the system configuration I assume? In the vim changelog I find: - stop owning /etc/vimrc so the old, distro provided config actually gets removed. Leaving it around leads to a duplicated autocmd for * .spec, leading to spec file template inserted twice. But I cannot really tell if that is relevant and where it broke for me. Any hints? Thanks, Wolfgang

Bluetooth headsets and Tumbleweed
by Roger Oberholtzer 23 Jan '21

23 Jan '21

Has anyone tried a headset like the Jabra Evolve 65 with Tumbleweed? I need a headset for things like Teams, and I am considering this Bluetooth headset. I generally do not use Bluetooth, so I'm not sure how well it is working with things like this. My laptop's built-in microphone is pretty crappy (very bad quality sound), so I am looking for an alternative. And there is the disturbance factor. My laptop does not have any standard USB ports, so I am trying not to get devices that need this. An adapter is ok. But if I can avoid it, that is a plus. -- Roger Oberholtzer

user list web view condensed (title only)
by Istvan Gabor 20 Jan '21

20 Jan '21

Hello: I prefer to look the mailing list messages on the website. Previously I used https://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/ and that site was absolutely clear and easy to use. Now I am trying read messages at: https://lists.opensuse.org/archives/list/users@lists.opensuse.org/ But it only shows messages back until January 5. If I choose to see more threads (click All Threads) or select a month on the left, the message list extends, that is not only the title but some of the messages' bodies are shown. It is very difficult to read the titles only. OK, how can I get a condensed, titles only view, when I want to see more threads than those shown at the start page? Thanks, Istvan

Problem with unbound
by Stakanov 20 Jan '21

20 Jan '21

I am running unbound. I have defined an AA-profile for it. From time to time unbound does not start. The reason I find in the logs: could not open autotrust-file for writing /var/lib/unbound/root.key.2112-0 permission denied. I tried to set AA on complain, but it does not encounter something to complain and to adapt. I recall I granted the right to that process in AA. Moreover, when I start the unbound by hand in "service" the process starts without any problem. And without giving error. So the issue seems only when it tries to update the autotrust-file. So, I do not understand why it needs to write to autotrust and I would like to know what permissions it should have, to compare with the ones I have: ls -l /var/lib/unbound/ entropia@roadrunner:~> ls -l /var/lib/unbound/ totale 4 -rw-r--r-- 1 unbound unbound 1251 20 gen 02.14 root.key Seems about right?? Or does the permission here need to be root:unbound? Thanks in advance. (Once it runs it is fast and reliable, but it is irritating that it fallbacks all the time due to this error.

thanks Avindra
by Dave Howorth 16 Jan '21

I recently got a report about a bug I reported in feh a few years ago. I see that Avindra Goolcharan has been working on it and has submitted a change that I think will fix it. So thanks Avindra :) (I haven't recreated my bugzilla account since last year's putsch, but then I hadn't recreated it since Novell owned SUSE. If/when I get another problem I need to report I might recreate it, if I feel inspired)
