OT yet I need help
by Togan Muftuoglu 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

Hello: Is there a way to export/import (practically transfer) SELECTED cookies form one firefox (or palemoon) profile to another one? I would like to transfer webpage settings between profiles. I don't want to transfer all cookies, only selected ones. Thanks, Istvan

smartctl
by mcgarrett 07 Dec '21

07 Dec '21

I have been beating my head against smartctl for over two hours now. I cannot seem to get the command "long" accepted, as the various tutorials explain. When I try to insert it, I get an error, like this: linux1:~ # smartctl long /dev/nvme0n1 smartctl 7.0 2019-05-21 r4917 [x86_64-linux-5.3.18-57-default] (SUSE RPM) Copyright (C) 2002-18, Bruce Allen, Christian Franke, www.smartmontools.org ERROR: smartctl takes ONE device name as the final command-line argument. You have provided 2 device names: long /dev/nvme0n1 (It doesn't like "short" either.) And my typing is getting worse! It doesn't help that my drive is called /dev/nvme0n1. As I mentioned earlier, the lightning strike has damaged something in this, my main computer, and I'm trying to find out what. For those who missed the earlier post, the only thing I can connect to here is the internet. I cannot see the printers or the laptop machine, and nmap basically doesn't work. I started this quest at 11:30 PM and it's now 3:30 AM. I'm going to bed! --doug

gtk2 application start delays 25 seconds
by Istvan Gabor 06 Dec '21

06 Dec '21

Hello: This occurs in openSUSE Leap 15.3 (64 bit). Gtk2 applications start with a 25 seconds delay. That is, it takes exactly 25 seconds the application window to appear. This behavior has been reported previously in other distros, eg: In 20.04.1 all gtk2 apps starts 25 seconds https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1891245 I installed appmenu-gtk2-module and libcanberra-gtk-module but it did not solve the problem. How can I fix this in Leap 15.3? Thanks, Istvan

Any advice for leap on mobile desktop zen3 ryzen5000 based hardware?
by cagsm 05 Dec '21

05 Dec '21

List, newbie with desktop linux usage. Pondering about going for linux on mobile desktop. Some amd zen3 based ryzen5000 mobile based hardware. only integrated gpu apu stuff no discrete gfx chip, only embedded into the cpu/apu hardware. Any best practices? wifi, bluetooth, power saving power efficiency, some nvme disk or something. Any full disk full system encryption good? The system will probably be uefi based no classic bios available I guess. Should I already go for leap 15.4 at its early stage? Any hints in general? TY.
