Reinstalling 15.2 with a list of packages
by Werner LEMBERG 28 Feb '21

28 Feb '21

Folks, triggered by my desktop problems reported in previous mails, I wonder how can I save the list of currently installed packages so that a complete reinstallation (i.e., not using `zypper dup`) of 15.2 makes use this list? Werner

passwords
by Doug McGarrett 28 Feb '21

Using Thunderbird for email. Is the password it requires a function of Thunderbird or of the internet supplier? It is becoming obnoxious and since I have only a dog in my house with me, I really don't need the damn password for email, and If I could eliminate it, I would. (And if so, how?) --doug

28 Feb '21

It's only taken decades, but we finally see official, almost completely unhedged support for Linux from a major hardware vendor. They even have the word "Linux" in their domain name: https://linux.dell.com/

As a list member I think I deserve an explanation, for I won't accept to submit to such a wrong moderation

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.
