annoying message on KDE desktop screen
by Werner LEMBERG 26 Feb '21

26 Feb '21

Folks, I've recently done an update from 15.1 to 15.2 using `zypper dup`. Since then I see an annoying message on the middle of my KDE desktop screen: Erstellung des Ein-/Ausgabemoduls nicht möglich. Socket für Ein-/Ausgabemodul für „desktop“ kann nicht gestartet werden. I guess an English translation is roughly Can't create in/out module. Socket for in/out module for 'desktop' can't be started. My next step was to switch to the newest KDE version following the instructions from https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:KDE_repositories However, I still get this message. For testing purposes, I called dbus-launch dolphin and get the following output on the console – dolphin shows no files in its window. kf.kio.core: KIO Connection server not listening, could not connect kf.kio.core: couldn't create slave: "Socket für Ein-/Ausgabemodul für „tags“ kann nicht gestartet werden." kf.kio.core: "Erstellung des Ein-/Ausgabemoduls nicht möglich. Socket für Ein-/Ausgabemodul für „tags“ kann nicht gestartet werden." kf.kio.core: "Erstellung des Ein-/Ausgabemoduls nicht möglich. Socket für Ein-/Ausgabemodul für „tags“ kann nicht gestartet werden." kf.kio.core: KIO Connection server not listening, could not connect kf.kio.core: couldn't create slave: "Socket für Ein-/Ausgabemodul für „trash“ kann nicht gestartet werden." kf.kio.core: "Erstellung des Ein-/Ausgabemoduls nicht möglich. Socket für Ein-/Ausgabemodul für „trash“ kann nicht gestartet werden." kf.kio.core: KIO Connection server not listening, could not connect kf.kio.core: couldn't create slave: "Socket für Ein-/Ausgabemodul für „file“ kann nicht gestartet werden." ... Do you have any idea how I could fix this? Werner

Question about zypper updates on TW
by Felix Meessen 25 Feb '21

25 Feb '21

I'm on Tumbleweed. Does zypper dup reload the current status of my repositories with newer packages, or do I have to run zypper ref first? Or is that what the man page means by "auto-refresh", and in that case, how do I configure that? The info I found online is conflicting. Wiki says zypper dup is enough, but it also says I get a notification about new packages, which I don't. I'm guessing that's only valid for Leap, but not sure about this either. Thanks.

Mayday - gnupg lost my secret keys! Still shown in private-keys-v1.d/ What to check?
by David C. Rankin 24 Feb '21

24 Feb '21

All, This is a first for me. I was in tbird (68) and enigmail reported not being able to find the secret key to open my Drafts. Huh?? So I open konsole and did: gpg --list-secret-keys --keyid-format LONG And before rebooting it showed my 6 keys with "not found" shown after the key number. But after reboot, now gpg --list-secret-keys --keyid-format LONG shows NOTHING? Oh, this is bad. Using ls -al to look in ~/.gnupg/private-keys-v1.d/ There are 13 .key files there. There is also a ~/.gnupg/openpgp-revocs.d/ file -- ironically from 2/23/2017, but I don't see that being an issue. There are ~/... backup? files in ~/.gnupg, e.g. -rw------- 1 david david 3651976 Feb 22 17:56 pubring.gpg -rw------- 1 david david 3645612 Feb 22 17:56 pubring.gpg~ -rw-r--r-- 1 david david 66740 Feb 23 05:36 pubring.kbx -rw-r--r-- 1 david david 64241 Feb 23 05:06 pubring.kbx~ I have not Checking the running processes to make sure the agent is running I see two processes: /usr/bin/ssh-agent /usr/bin/gpg-agent --sh --daemon --keep-display /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc and /usr/bin/gpg-agent --sh --daemon --keep-display /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc I guess one is for ssh and one for the normal gpg keyring? What has happened and what to check?? I have a number of drafts I need to access in Thunderbird and enigmail thinks my keys are gone and attempting to list the keys above, so does gpg. Help? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

I've upgraded to KDE 5.79.0 / Plasma 5.21.0
by mauro 24 Feb '21

24 Feb '21

through our four KDE repos it's even nicer than bfore, htop says cpu usage < 5%, RAM 1,2GB with 5 open programs, on a machine 10+yrs old I always wonder why there are people who use a different DE (among those who do use a DE) and which be their reasons...I couldn't think of anything better, I only miss sometimes the mouse wheel scrolling speed setting, I'm looking forward for it to be re-implemented So, why don't you use KDE? And why do you use (not-KDE)?

Notes on the 15.2 Upgrade
by Robert Hardy 24 Feb '21

24 Feb '21

I finally got around to the 15.1>15.2 upgrade the other day using the iso image on dvd, and here's a few notes. I'd like to hear what people think. I initially tried to update all repositories before the upgrade, but I must have messed up the pacman url, because it was not found and I had conflicts. I tried to use the back button to fix it, but couldn't find my back to the right spot, and decided to be conservative and start again with just the dvd. I ended up with conflicts anyway and resolved them one by one. The result was about 400 packages deleted. A lot of them were development packages and debuginfo and whatnot. I haven't looked further yet. After the upgrade I used Yast to switch to pacman, and it did pull some packages back in. I also used Yast for a serious online update. BTW, I noticed the main repository does not carry some chess packages such as xboard; they are only available from pacman. I then noticed about 600 packages still had an "x-lp151.x" sort of moniker-- zypper up took care of that. KDE's notification system isn't working due to a problem with xfce as described here: https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/543232-Lost-notifications . I'm not entirely happy with the proposed solutions. I seem to recall KDE notification problems before, perhaps with 15.0, or maybe 42.0, where my system would fall back to xfce notifications until the KDE problems were fixed. That seemed like a nice behavior, all in all. ksysguard has gone from maybe 6-8% of one CPU to 30-40%. I've always tended to leave that running on one desktop, but 30-40% is unacceptable. It also apparently replaced my file read/write columns with Download/Upload. I have a CPU temp monitor in one of the panels that is not working. Any attempt to open its configuration dialog crashes plasmashell. Then there's akonadi. Akonadi_imap_resource, akonadiserver, and mysqld hog CPU continually on admittedly very large gmail folders until such time as akonadiserver "closes unexpectedly". I've also suddenly got 1131-300-200-100-300 emails in a drafts folder as reported variously by kontact and xfce. None of them are visible. Akonadi server somehow restarts itself. Hey, I can't watch Netflix while akonadi is running! At times past, I've bumped akonadi's priority down a notch. I haven't mentioned bluetooth which has been an ongoing problem for a long time. I've successfully nursed it in the past with restarts and whatnot, but I don't want to get into that at the moment. I used to use serial over bluetooth a lot, as well as tethering to my phone, but for the moment, it's a bit beyond me. So, comments? I can follow up on my downtime, keeping in mind that it will take time away from watching Netflix! ;-)

KDE: Removable devices default action
by Peter Suetterlin 24 Feb '21

24 Feb '21

Hi list, I just upgraded my TW machines, which (obviously...) brought some new KDE, too. Seems this time they have changed the default presented option for the 'Removable devices' widget in the toolbar. That used to be 'Mount', Now it is 'Mount and Open', and I can't find a way to change that back to the old option. Am I blind, or is this another 'improvement' that may not be questioned?

zypper --help
by Syds Bearda 24 Feb '21

24 Feb '21

Hi, The `zypper --help` command misses some options that I'm usually looking for. Is it possible to add these to the `--help` command? For example I know when removing a package i need to give the command `zypper rm <package_name>`, but that command only removes that package and does not included the dependencies. So usually i first type `--help` to find the exact command, but am always disappointed that it's not there. For future reference the correct command is: `zypper rm -u <package_name>' And to see the orphaned packages is: `zypper pa --unneeded` /Syds
