dlmesg (15.3)
by jdd＠dodin.org 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

For my purposes, a protection against exterior attacks would be sufficient. But so far, I did not manage to set up firewalld correctly. Having looked for "ssh" and "nfs" in all zones, I'm not sure if there is some hidden occurrence left. Thank you in advance, Wolfgang

ssh problem
by Wolfgang Mueller 02 Oct '21

02 Oct '21

I downgraded one of my computers to 15.2 because this is the only way to have a sound. After my NFS server problem has been solved now, I have one more problem, i.e. I cannot access to this computer, called "pachew", by ssh. When ssh is invoked from outside, no prompt for a password appears, but any connection is immediately refused, and this error message appears: "ssh: connect to host pachew port 22: No route to host" Any suggestions? Thanks in advance, Wolfgang

[oS-en] WiFi connection mussings.
by Carlos E. R. 02 Oct '21

02 Oct '21

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hi, Where I am at the moment I got a new router from a new ISP, that has both 2.5 GHz and 5 GHz bands. And it provides (ISP defaults) two SSIDs, one "normal" and another at 5GHZ. Names like these: sagemcomXXXX and sagemcomXXXX-5G This is apparently typical of ISPs here. Looking at network manager settings, I noticed that I can choose the band, or set it to auto. All the settings are the same, I could use the same configuration, and let automatics choose one or another band - but no, the SSIDs are different. If it were possible to tell NM in a single profile to use a different SSID for each band, I could do that. The GUI certainly doesn't allow it. It seems I'd better set the band manually on each of the two profiles (now it is 'auto'), so they don't waste time probing. I don't know if I should fuse both configs into one on the router, same SSID - or not, I don't know what caveats there would be. And, here there may be later other machines using Windows or Android. One thing I noticed is that my laptop connects almost instantly. On the old router, it could take several seconds to connect. And a curiosity: if it can not connect, the XFCE desktop does not recover the open apps of the previous session, it is empty. Ideas, considerations? - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.

oS 15.3 KDE mounting removable drives
by Roger Oberholtzer 01 Oct '21

01 Oct '21

My oS 15.3 / KDE (up-to-date as of today) does not pop up a window offering some activity when a removable USB drive is connected. The devices show up correctly in the system in general and can be mounted. But there is no activity in KDE. When looking at the Device Actions in the system configuration, I see that in the Open with File Manager menu, it says that "The device property Drive Type must equal Floppy" must match. A couple questions: Do USB drives have this property? How can I determine what the Drive Type for a USB disk is? How can I remove this requirement? I see that the field for Floppy is text, not a list of predefined types. Of course, it might be some other of the properties defined in this menu. I have: Ignored must equal false Usage must equal FileSystem type is StorageAccess DriveType must equal Floppy Do folks where this is working have the same settings? -- Roger Oberholtzer
