what is fdisk: "GPT PMBR size mismatch (500118191 != 2000409263) will be corrected by write."?
by kf 27 Apr '21

27 Apr '21

Along with other (normal) output, running "fdisk -l /dev/blahblah" gives a rather cryptic message: GPT PMBR size mismatch (500118191 != 2000409263) will be corrected by write. Reading a lot of posts on this message, doesn't clarify at all what it means. The numbers the message contains don't correspond even remotely to anything output by fdisk. Secondly, what's to be "corrected" and why? Thanks.

leap 15.3 - systemd-modules-load failed ?
by Per Jessen 27 Apr '21

27 Apr '21

I have just 'zypper dup' a leap153 test system (on the xen host in the other thread) which then ended up being unbootable. It does not see the virtual disk. The only immediate indication is systemd-modules-load failing. I'll open a bugreport anyway, but just in case someone else has seen the same - Entering emergency mode. Exit the shell to continue. Type "journalctl" to view system logs. You might want to save "/run/initramfs/rdsosreport.txt" to a USB stick or /boot after mounting them and attach it to a bug report. Give root password for maintenance (or press Control-D to continue): sh-4.4# systemctl --failed UNIT LOAD ACTIVE SUB DESCRIPTION ● systemd-modules-load.service loaded failed failed Load Kernel Modules LOAD = Reflects whether the unit definition was properly loaded.

Cannot mount Sony Walkman
by Payam Firouztala 27 Apr '21

27 Apr '21

I can no longer mount my Sony Walkman MP3 player on latest Tumbleweed. I'm not quite sure when it stopped working but I used to be able to plug it in and 2 options used to pop up under removable devices (Plasma Desktop): Mass storage (Storage Volume) and MTP (Portable Media Player) entries used to allow me to "Mount and Open" which would then open a Dolphin window with the root directory of the device. Everything now happens the same up to and including the Dolphin window opening, but almost immediately, the directory shown is /, not the device. The device no longer shows up as a mass storage. I no longer have the option of mounting it as a mass storage device. the MTP option is present, but the results are the same. Dolphin window opens, but the MP3 player is not mounted. Here is the relevant lines from dmesg. Any advice on how to figure out what is happening? I guess the interesting lines are these 2: [ 156.119906] blk_update_request: I/O error, dev sdc, sector 4 op 0x1:(WRITE) flags 0x0 phys_seg 1 prio class 0 [ 156.119912] Buffer I/O error on dev sdc1, logical block 1, lost async page write I have formatted the device through its menu system. connecting it to a Windows machine shows no issue and allows me to move files to it.

Fwd: Filing upstream mesa bug?

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Filing upstream mesa bug? Date: Sat, 24 Apr 2021 11:25:31 +0200 From: pj.world(a)gmx.com To: Users.lists(a)opensuse.org Hello to you all, I reported a bug in KDE (System Monitor Crashes each attempt to execute). -> https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=436054 Reading a bit on KDE bugzilla reporting I was able to determine by the flowchart "Resolved Upstream" means that I need to report the bug at -> https://www.mesa3d.org/bugs.html <- The bug is not really completely repaired. Could I please ask on a few tips how to for instance (simplify) this process? For a good chance at getting this bug fixed in as timely a manner as possible? (I have filied 1 bug report before this). It appears to be an issue concerning: bug in Mesa in combination with having stack protection enabled. This bug affects System Monitor on each instance. 1. Would you recommend a glxgears information/printout? 2. Would you recommend an apitrace? 3. What would you recommend to more quickly facilitate this bug being fixed? I appreciate your advices on this matter. :) Thank You
