Upgrade from Leap 15.1 to 15.2 Desktop Failure
by Jim Flanagan 30 Jun '21

30 Jun '21

Greetings, Just did an upgrade from my stable Leap 15.1 install to 15.2. I downloaded the DVD and did the upgrade from booting that. It asked me if I wanted to used the online repos as I have an internet connection so I said OK. Everything seemed to go well and booting into my KDE desktop. But clicking the gecko start menu gives an error. "Error loading QML file:file///sur/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.kicker/contents/ui/main.qml:27:1: module "org.kde.plasma.private.kicker: is not installed" The system is running and I see my desktop widgets doing their thing. But I can't do anything. I can get to tty1 and login as root but I don't know what to do from there. I tried running yast in tty1 but get errors when I try software management. This system was first installed with Leap 15.0, upgraded to 15.1, now to a partially broken 15.2. Any suggestions most welcome. Jim F

Why can't the process "sync" be killed?
by Carlos E. R. 25 May '21

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 It is just a fact, it can not. Situation. The system is running the process "texpire", which is part of leafnode package, an nntp proxy server. texpire simply looks at every posts and deletes those that are old according to certain rules. This is very intensive on the disk, looking at 1.2 million files. It runs for half an hour. If during that process I issue a "sync", it does not succeed till texpire ends. It can not be killed. Telcontar:~ # time sync ^C^C^C On another terminal: Telcontar:~ # killall sync Telcontar:~ # killall sync Telcontar:~ # killall -9 sync Telcontar:~ # killall -9 sync Telcontar:~ # It has to run till completion. - -- Cheers Carlos E.

Firewall configuration, confused.
by Gustav Degreef 20 May '21

20 May '21

Hello, I read with great interest the entire recent thread "Possible malware?" and tried to make sure that I set my firewall (firewalld) to block all ssh connections from outside my home LAN. My ISP provides access via cable modem and I set up my own router. There are 3-4 laptops running opensuse 15.x (and 2 android phones) on my home network (adresses configured with DHCP) and I log in periodically via ssh (as user, not root) to the other computers to fix various issues. Via the yast2 firewall configuration I set only the "public", "internal" and "home" zones to have ssh as an allowed service. The "external" and other zones do not have ssh allowed. I read quite a few articles on the firewall configuration, but I am not sure that I set it right. Is there anything else I should do? Thanks, Gustav.

openSUSE devs, Don't know if the powers that be are up on this, but quite alarming and I still can't figure out how to test for it. Apparently corrupt versions of systemd-daemon and gvfsd-helper have been used -- for years. https://www.theregister.com/2021/04/29/stealthy_linux_backdoor_malware_spot… Any body got more on this? -- David C.

Recognized but unusable hp 1109w printer on Leap 15.2 up to date

Setup in yast or hplip both see and recognize printer but all text pages and attempts to use this printer fail. I have followed the usual methods and was able to install another older printer which works to a degree random out of paper faults on older printer. I tried different usb ports and still no go. I have no idea what to try next. The ppd files are installed. On another system with drive issues this printer did work. netcat: connect to localhost port 631 (tcp) failed: Connection refused cwsiv@localhost:~> sudo zypper install cups-filters No update candidate for 'cups-filters-1.25.0-lp152.1.8.x86_64'.

This is exclusive to one machine. No such nonsense with the other printer which is also hp.

Signing off for now.

I have finished sticking needles into my Office365 voodoo dolls, someone in Seattle will have been writhing in pain. I know, I known, but it feels _really_ good. I am about to go watch "Line of Duty", I'm totally hooked. At openSUSE, tonight someone crashed the galera cluster, unfortunately nothing much I can do. It seems to be myself and cboltz "on duty". In between, I've been listening to David Gilmour playing old Pink Floyd stuff, I can never tire of that. Now just finishing Nena playing "Irgendwie irgendo irgendwann" to be followed by "Leuchtturm". -- Per Jessen, Zürich (7.3°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free dynamic DNS, made in Switzerland.
