news account without user

Hello, I'm trying to install INN, the nntp server on openSUSE 15.3 I am root on this system, and log as root with ssh key. INN is available from yast, so not problem installing the binaries. But... INN installs itself as user "news". The "news" folder is available with cd ~news, and is physically setup in /etc/news. this user is a system user and not allowed to login. however, some commands are better used as user news. What is the best way to achieve this? runuser don't works ("no account"). may I allow login? I could give a very long random password to prevent other login than root thanks jdd -- http://dodin.org https://valeriedodin.com

MS Teams on current Tumbleweed
by Roger Oberholtzer 08 Oct '21

08 Oct '21

I have been using Teams on Tumbleweed without problems. After the last update to Tumbleweed, I now get this when running teams: [105506.729217] traps: Chrome_IOThread[2342] trap invalid opcode ip:5604615e6934 sp:7f4873ffd490 error:0 in teams[56045eff0000+5fbe000] Teams itself was not updated, and there seems not to be a new version available. I am using 1.4.00.13653-1 from the MS Linux repository. Anyone else see this? -- Roger Oberholtzer

aarch64 qcom2 images
by jdd＠dodin.org 07 Oct '21

07 Oct '21

Hello, My "Free" french FAI gives me a high end "modem", that is really a NAS and allows me to use VM's. (some notes here: http://www.dodin.org/wiki/pmwiki.php?n=Doc.Debug-Freebox-Delta-Vm) It allows me to use JeOS image. Very nice. This is done automatically with some pre-configured variables (script available is necessary). Having some debugging to make, I looked after these images on openSUSE download page without success: Here, JeOS is only x86_64 (OpenStack-Cloud for qcow2). However, using google to search qcow2, I got this page: https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Cloud:/Images:/Leap_15.3/images/ with the necessary image (?) openSUSE-Leap-15.3.aarch64-NoCloud.qcow2 I notice the "NO" in front of cloud. I wonder why the aarch64 image I used to install (but it's real name is hidden by the interface) is not provided on the download page, and why is there here the "NO" in the name thanks jdd -- http://dodin.org

Suggestions for a diagram drawing program.
by Roger Oberholtzer 07 Oct '21

07 Oct '21

Hi all. I am soon to embark on a flurry of system documentation. As a part of this, diagrams showing the layout of both hardware, software, data flow and processing will be done. The things to be presented are rather complicated in that there are many components and many connections between the components. I have done diagrams in the past, but have never been wowed by the software. I'm sure a part of that is my experience with the software. But I think that I might also have chosen poorly. Right tool for the task and all that. So, I am looking at the alternatives. My preference is something that runs on multiple platforms (Linux and Windows). To be honest, a Web tool it not out of the question. Except it would be nice to have the diagrams saved locally for use over a long period of time. It is not a one off thing. These diagrams need to be maintained and by perhaps more than one person. At least over time. Interactive diagrams where the viewer can click and get more details or related diagrams would be nice. Having everything in a monster diagram seems like a bad approach. On the other hand, including the diagrams in other documents that might not be dynamic is needed. So, if you have used any such tools (especially on Linux), what are your experiences? And I expecting too much? I have looked at programs like dia. It seems rather basic. But that might just be my knowledge of what it can do. I have also used programs that let you specify the diagram in a text file and it lays out the diagram. That has been fine for simple diagrams. But when the diagrams reach any realistic complexity, the layout is often something that one must struggle with. All pointers are welcome. I have looked at various discussions of this but they are typically so superficial that they provide no real information. I am willing to investigate alternatives. -- Roger Oberholtzer

dlmesg (15.3)
by jdd＠dodin.org 06 Oct '21

06 Oct '21

Hello, I'm used for years to look at dmesg I just noticed that in two of my 15.3 install (at least), this is no more possible as user, with message: dmesg: read kernel buffer failed: Operation not permitted is this a new rule or some error on my system? thanks jdd -- http://dodin.org

bogomips on VM
by jdd＠dodin.org 06 Oct '21

06 Oct '21

Hello, I want to compare several hosting systems. For this I try to use Bogomips as given on start dmesg. However, on one of my systems, installed with JeOS on a vm, I get: dmesg | grep Bogo [ 0.000166] Calibrating delay loop (skipped), value calculated using timer frequency.. 50.00 BogoMIPS (lpj=250000) is there a way to get the Bogomips for this system? (or any other simple way to estimate the machine speed)? thanks jdd -- http://dodin.org

I've never had hardware newer than the distro to contend with. It might be enough to install from repositories/Kernel:/stable/standard/x86_64/ or the 15.3 kernel, but it might also require newer firmware or a newer xf86-video-amdgpu or even Xorg. I'd try the 15.3 kernel first, but it might depend on something incompatible with the 15.2 basesytem. If it won't install, I would expect the stable/standard kernel would. Kernel is the place to start. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science. Team OS/2 ** Reg. Linux User #211409 ** a11y rocks! Felix Miata

low resolution with new Ryzen 5 built-in graphics
by Carlos F. Lange 03 Oct '21

03 Oct '21

I am trying to setup a new machine with oS 15.2, but it is giving me only a fall-back graphic resolution of 1024x768, even though the monitor has HD resolution. The graphics is built-in in the CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600G with Built-in Radeon™ Vega CU Graphics lspci describes the device as "[AMD/ATI] Cezanne", which sounds right. But KDE is only offering this poor resolution. Is there a way to achieve the higher resolution that the built-in graphics can offer? -- Carlos F Lange Gaúcho nas Pradarias https://sites.google.com/site/carlosflange/

Can't run NFS server
by Wolfgang Mueller 03 Oct '21

03 Oct '21

I downgraded one of my computers to 15.2 because this is the only way to have a sound. Now I installed the NFS server as follows: At first I executed "zypper in yast2-nfs-server" for making "NFS server" available to Yast. Next I prepared an /etc/exports file and executed "Yast | Network Services | NFS Server" Finally I invoked "Yast | System | Services Manager" and started "nfs-server" and "nfsserver". But that did not help, the NFS server does not work, i.e. it is impossibile to NFS-mount a file on a different computer. What is wrong? Any help is welcome. Thank you in advance, Wolfgang
