[oS-en] Can't boot freshly installed 15.3 system.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I can't boot freshly installed 15.3 system (with current updates as of today). I get (hand copied): error: bad shim signature. error: you need to load the kernel first. Press any key to continue. Details: It is a new external hard disk, via USB3 (tried also USB2) on a laptop that has internally Leap 15.2 and Windows, both booting normally. On this external hard disk I installed 15.3 (UEFI mode). The UEFI boot menu does not display this disk at all. The efibootmgr man page doesn't say how to add a new entry: CREATING A NEW BOOT OPTION An OS installer would call efibootmgr -c. This assumes that /boot/efi is your EFI System Partition, and is mounted at /dev/sda1. This creates a new boot option, called "Linux", and puts it at the top of the boot order list. Options may be passed to modify the default behavior. The default OS Loader is elilo.efi. 3. What are those options to modify the behaviour??? It is an example section with no examples!!! So, instead I boot 15.2 (with current updates as of yesterday), start yast boot manager, and tell it to probe the disk for other systems. It does find 15.3, and the error I posted above is precissely what happens when using that probed entry. No matter if I select failsafe.

Amarok playlists
by James Knott 22 Dec '21

22 Dec '21

I recently added a 2nd playlist to Amarok for Christmas music. However, I've noticed that it does not limit to items in the selected play list. Is there anyway around this? It seems to me that when one and only one playlist is selected, it shouldn't play from another. KDE on 15.3. tnx jk

postfix: default or nil
by jdd＠dodin.org 16 Dec '21

16 Dec '21

Hello, In an other thread I asked to see what postfix options are made empty/nil by adding in the file the option name followed by only " = " In fact there are more than I expected. Is it better to let the file as is, or to comment out these lines to get back postfix default? for example I notice "relayhost = " several options are listed in main.cf, I'm unsure to what is done if the option is not listed in the file practically, I didn't find a way (without breaking all the install) to list *default* options (that is what is done if the option is written nowhere :-() comm -23 <(postconf -n) <(postconf -d) (settings that *differ* from built-in defaults) gives relayhost = but, if I remove (rename) main.cf and stop postfix, # postconf -n | grep relayh postconf: fatal: open /etc/postfix/main.cf: No such file or directory that's ok, but: postconf man page: -d Print main.cf default parameter settings instead of actual settings # postconf -d | grep relayh address_verify_relayhost = $relayhost(...) relayhost = (...) so "relayhost =" should be the default, is the comm line wrong?? thanks jdd (confused) -- http://dodin.org http://valeriedodin.com

cleanfeed? (on usenet INN server)
by jdd＠dodin.org 16 Dec '21

16 Dec '21

Hello :-) I'm installing an usenet server. The doc I found for peering asks me to install "cleanfeed" https://news.aioe.org/documentation/how-to-setup-a-feed-with-aioeorg/ I don't find it on openSUSE, but it is on fedora https://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=cleanfeed is there an openSUSE clone/replacement? is it safe to use fedora one? thanks jdd -- http://dodin.org http://valeriedodin.com

OT yet I need help
by Togan Muftuoglu 16 Dec '21

16 Dec '21

Hi, Although it is OT as it has nothing to do with openSUSE, I need help in finding an email address for quadmetrics.com regarding so called OPT-OUT of the never ending daily network scans as I am sure like me no one has opted in unvoluntarily. So far I am empty handed their registar gandi.net pointed out AWS but the IP belong to CARINET and most probably other names. So rather then dealing with each one them I would rather find an email adress. Yes I have tried abuse@ but that is bouncing back. Thanks

postfix config
by jdd＠dodin.org 16 Dec '21

16 Dec '21

Hello, I noticed that in postfix config, a blank option mean that the default is no more used. that is, for example, alias_maps = *remove* the default (lmdb:/etc/aliases) is there a way (with postconf, for example) to list only such empty line? lines with no option set in main.conf. I don't find this :-( By the way it seems that "postconf -n" do not really display non default values, but values that are written down in the config file, even if they are identical to default values thanks jdd -- http://dodin.org http://valeriedodin.com

Black X screen after last TW upgrade (nvidia)
by Peter Suetterlin 09 Dec '21

09 Dec '21

Hi, I just did an upgrade of my Laptop (Lenovo T460p) to latest TW 20211203. I'm running it with the G05 driver from the nvidia repo, which worked before. I'd been offline here for a while (almost a month), so it was a large update, and I can't put the finger on a specific release. Symptom is, the screen stays black on VT7. X is running, sddm is running, just no display. Other VTs do work. I checked the logfile, but there's nothing obviously wrong. I.e., no EE or related WW entries... So far I had tried deleting the cache files from sddm (had been an issue at some point, I remembered), and (based on some trouble posts from September) tried kernel parameter "nomodeset nvidia-drm.modeset=1". Neither did help :( Any hints where to look? Pit
