dns cache problem
by passiongnulinux＠gmail.com 06 Feb '21

06 Feb '21

Hello the family ;) It's me again, I have a person who told me about a dns cache problem, or something like that, in short, I have indeed since noticed that well after closing the Firefox browser, requests continue on the sites that I visited and that long after my last connection. What about, bug or not? https://translate.google.fr/translate?hl=&sl=ru&tl=en&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.l… the link speaks about it too. Cordialy.

A pervasive recidivist. 5kb "?" file that resists to everything included chlorine.
by Stakanov 06 Feb '21

06 Feb '21

I have in my home directory a file, it appeared the 6th of November. I do not recall anything special. It is owned by root: [code] ls -l ? -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5 6 nov 16.15 ? [/code] you cannot change the name to "?", it is 5 Bite of size, you cannot open it with kate e.g. to read or see the content. But you can: [code] sudo cat /home/entropia/? 9427 [/code] "9427"?? What could this be? A damage to the file system? Need to run fsck? And why I cannot, even as root eliminate it? Could it be related to the use of bleachbit? I did run bleachbit as superuser on the system. But even if, it should not have created such a weird thing. The file system: [code] sudo lsblk NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT sda 8:0 0 477G 0 disk ├─sda1 8:1 0 399M 0 part /boot └─sda2 8:2 0 476,6G 0 part └─cr-auto-1 254:0 0 476,6G 0 crypt ├─system-swap 254:1 0 7,6G 0 lvm [SWAP] ├─system-root 254:2 0 59G 0 lvm / └─system-home 254:3 0 410G 0 lvm /home [/code] one only disc ssd.

Weird problem with webcam
by James Knott 05 Feb '21

05 Feb '21

I have a weird problem with my Logitech C270 webcam. It has worked well for years, including a lot of video chats recently. However, a couple of weeks ago, the microphone stopped working. It doesn't even appear in Pulse Audio. I then tried it in my ThinkPad, where it again failed. On the other hand the microphone in my Logitech headset works fine with both computers. This led me to believe the webcam microphone had failed. I then bought another C270 and the same thing happens! I then tried booting the Thinkpad into Windows 10, where the webcam microphone now works. Any idea why it would fail in openSUSE 15.2, but work in Windows 10 on the same computer? tnx jk

Leap 15.2 sudden loss of ethernet
by Carl Spitzer {L Juno} 05 Feb '21

05 Feb '21

while using my ACER E5-575 I suddenly lost my ethernet port access. I had a friend check it and the connection works under a usb flash connected distro. But it no longer works in Leap even with delete and adding it back. I can and will do a reinstall Monday if I can not make this work. There should be a solution but I did not find anyone else online having it. I am having my friend test the wireless which I do have locally. What if any elegant solution short of complete reinstall will correct this?

mounting hard drive as executable
by Michael Spartana 05 Feb '21

05 Feb '21

Hi, OK trying to mount a hard drive so I can install steam games (I have a 512 GB SSD with the OS -Tumbleweed-on it) and so I want the Hard Drives for the installations. These are the 2 drives and this is the fstab entries I used: #UUID=E4S46B88D46B5BB4 /home/ekim/mrmike ntfs defaults PARTUUID=9ef08689-2e85-4ada-9b22-cf4533e076d0 /home/ekim/mrmike ntfs permissions,uid=1000,umask=022,gid=1000 0 2 #xavier #UUID=D892118892116BEE /home/ekim/xavier ntfs defaults PARTUUID=5ae7b70a-f359-4bc6-9420-ab1913fd040c /home/ekim/xavier ntfs permissions,uid=1000,umask=022,gid=1000 0 2 They are mounted with me as a user owning them but I cannot write to them. So how should I mount them. Is it a root problem or do I need to change the permissions or something else. Thanks for any help, mike spartana

what loads kernel modul v4l2loopback
by Simon Becherer 04 Feb '21

04 Feb '21

Hi, background: at tumbleweed, kde (but its a non platform specific question) we use i-phones with "droidcam" for webcam and sound. since about a half year with firefox. working fine. now i have to use chromium because of some jitsi servers did not accept firefox. to use chromium with the v4l2loopback driver i have to use the driver with additional options (if no option chromium did not find the webcam): rmmod v4l2loopback modprobe v4l2loopback exclusive_caps=1 will do the trick. -------------- problem: something is loading the v4l2loopback kernel modul without this option. i checked my system: inside: /etc/modules-load.d i have had a file (made by me, half year ago) who has loaded the driver without options. - i removed the file /etc/modprobe.d nothing releated to v4l2loopback /usr/lib/modprobe.d is a file from package v4l2loopback-autoload.rpm - i uninstalled the rpm. - file is gone /usr/lib/modules-load.d is a file from package v4l2loopback-autoload.rpm - i uninstalled the rpm. - file is gone now i think the system should start without v4l2loopback. restart the system lsmod shows v4l2loopback is still loaded. i insered a file at /etc/modprobe.d 50-v4l2loopback.conf with contend: options v4l2loopback exclusive_caps=1 reboot, still same problem driver is loaded without options. so what is loading this driver? i searched /etc and /usr/lib but did not find the text string "v4l2loopback" could there some udev rules? is it inside initrd ? (did i have to recreate initrd, how to do?) how to find this out, and how to delete or give this kernel-modul-load-command the option "exclusive_caps=1" simoN -- www.becherer.de

bug
by gumb 03 Feb '21

03 Feb '21

This is pretty much off-topic though it does potentially talk about an openSUSE-based PC at two ends of a connection. Just a quick, basic layman's response is all I'm looking for. Please, if this thread gets more than 10 posts long and delves into anecdotes about systems deployed in army conflicts in the 1970s, please delete it. Full paranoia tin-foil hat mode on: If, theoretically, a PC running openSUSE in one location, is communicating via encrypted video calls or SSH across the Internet, with another openSUSE PC in another location, and then the connection at one location (staffed by tech-averse personnel) mysteriously goes down, the provider then sends out an engineer who unexpectedly suggests that wiring behind the wall socket is 'draining the power', and proceeds to do some unknown work to the cabling that may hypothetically involve the covert placement of a bugging device on the line... breathe out, stay with me... Does that potentially compromise any secure connection, be it SSH, encrypted voice/video call etc. that is established between these computers, or does the encryption (provided it's strong enough) make it impossible to intercept with a physical device on the line? I'd have presumed the latter, because it's no different to trying to hack it from anywhere else, but I might be overlooking a technicality. To clarify, the PC connects to a router that is wired to a wall box serving as an 'entry point' of the connection into the property. Any such bugging device would therefore be placed between the router and the outbound cabling onto the street. gumb special agent

Learned something new - hostnamectl
by Stakanov 03 Feb '21

03 Feb '21

If you are like me and are eternally "behind" because just stumbling on new things every day using your PC. This came to may attention about a newsfeed of linuxdotcom, but no need to buy it, all resources easily found on the web. So you have a PC and never use the command line fumbling through menus to get sysinfo, or do want to change the hostname of your nice machine, try to open a terminal as user and write: hostnamectl status that already is a surprising amount of info you normally do not get to see with such an ease. Want to rename your machine, a nice list of commands, well explained, you find here: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/7/ht… networking_guide/sec_configuring_host_names_using_hostnamectl And if someone does know if this exists already in the openSUSE documentation, feel free to post a link hereafter. Hope that was not too obvious and is not considered "offtopic", but as I regularly see people running into the "I want to rename my machine with a pretty-name but it says network is governed by network manager" etc, this command / link may come handy if somebody wants to do it. Hence this post.

Trouble configuring split OpenVPN
by Chris Coutinho 03 Feb '21

03 Feb '21

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hi, I am working with a client that has their own OpenVPN server configured, which I want to configure on my machine as a split tunnel VPN. I only want to route my traffic through their network to resources that they provide access to, otherwise use whatever the default network setup I happen to be on. I've been successful in routing known IP addresses through the tunnel, but I'm stuck with a nameserver problem - I can't resolve a host even when I add the ipv4 address to list of routes (see below). I'm wondering if there are any networking gurus here that can give me a hand. I'm using Tumbleweed, Gnome, and Network Manager I've been given an OpenVPN configuration file (client.ovpn) that I've loaded into the Gnome VPN settings GUI twice - once for the full tunnel and another for my "split" tunnel. I've configured the split tunnel connection as follows: # nmcli connection modify <split> dns=<local dns> # nmcli connection modify <split> ignore-auto-dns=true # nmcli connection modify <split> +ipv4.routes <cidr/32> When connecting to the split tunnel, I can access some of the resources based on IP, but others are not resolvable. Also, this is not really ideal as I'm setting up my DNS for this connection manually, rather than using what my LAN is providing. The difference between the hosts I can/can't resolve seems to be related to name servers. The hosts that I can connect to are also resolvable without the VPN (e.g. 'ping' is able to resolve the host -> ip but refuses my connection), whereas the hosts that are not resolvable without VPN remain unresolvable with the split VPN tunnel. The problem is that I don't know what information I need to configure the split tunnel correctly. This is what nslookup returns for one of the unresolvable hosts while connected to the full VPN. Isn't 8.8.8.8 just Google? $ nslookup <the host> Server: 8.8.8.8 Address: 8.8.8.8#53 Non-authoritative answer: Name: <the host> Address: 10.243.a.b Name: <the host> Address: 10.243.c.d Name: <the host> Address: 10.243.e.f Thanks in advance, Chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAEBCAAdFiEEss2dENO/PTuA9NTTOdNgxkl4+QMFAmAaZOQACgkQOdNgxkl4 +QP8zA/8DJhW+nDG/JYe6CJwvaFBCSJ/7RodlXJHYmUPT54+wcsqfTNy9YFmaR+S OJTzfTwh5a3B5JUzsV7mvN81x957qvAxs4pKoImw7Qud32JHfV+1sPB+7Zcgd5KQ VkC0RjwCxoFUsQQHV42UeFaEvhLb0Ki0eeroXVQHv4qvP/DHNzLuOEQ9SRQERj1H Z71X3bSIPOKlGj0ye0g7C3/8hk33QT3Ae4QchfY0J3xwTOjBQtWCgZV8k1mP0grz etMLDyTef0WBmyqne4aq8hlwWdBPBqC6FBn0d1klgra2MAfyvutA3HxjMDc251Nu KJgTPT5qZ/rGEM4hy2UTYsrHP/FjNK3jsBmETURM130syBg4b9JtOI9XV+XQz4kN bZ9jFeAzKuSpwcaqR3bYLNPAcXPMzVmFU06fb1uhIchRqoDt+upxjefBvw2RwDpi RaNZBdE1qbSWHxij71zTIUhYCYmWDnzyvmM1xswsIXgvnaO/zwxwzjlspTe1JuMy zaX5vBcJwfq1yzIFQvORVGzrXYQw8Cgu4+eCYfdRCr/zNiQnUyqoBvN/LDIzQtyv +H9EgI/EcI6ZDFc5HIyLSigesXTDMmfnhO29yjVj9YZ/Rv+4Ip6JX+SDogw4SxZO Kp08IxLvoTnohiCZkwaaGJ/lSLfPY10xqCSIRstEDNSehCZOkF4= =FMSE -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
