icon packages installed as part of the server pattern ?
by Per Jessen 10 Apr '21

10 Apr '21

I was just now cloning a 15.2 system and happened to notice a bunch of icon files being copied over. For a head-less system, that seems somewhat misplaced? Installed I see : adwaita-icon-theme hicolor-icon-theme Trying to remove them: # zypper rm adwaita-icon-theme hicolor-icon-theme Reading installed packages... Resolving package dependencies... The following 43 packages are going to be REMOVED: adwaita-icon-theme gcr-lang gcr-prompter gcr-viewer gnome-online-accounts gnome-online-accounts-lang gtk2-branding-openSUSE gtk2-immodule-amharic gtk2-immodule-inuktitut gtk2-immodule-thai gtk2-immodule-vietnamese gtk2-lang gtk2-metatheme-adwaita gtk2-theming-engine-adwaita gtk2-tools gtk3-branding-openSUSE gtk3-immodule-amharic gtk3-immodule-inuktitut gtk3-immodule-thai gtk3-immodule-vietnamese gtk3-lang gtk3-tools gvfs gvfs-backend-afc gvfs-backends gvfs-fuse gvfs-lang hicolor-icon-theme hicolor-icon-theme-branding-openSUSE libgcr-3-1 libgdata-lang libgdata22 libgoa-backend-1_0-1 libgtk-2_0-0 libgtk-3-0 libwebkit2gtk-4_0-37 libwebkit2gtk3-lang notification-daemon notification-daemon-lang openssh-askpass-gnome patterns-yast-yast2_basis webkit2gtk-4_0-injected-bundles yast2-theme The following pattern is going to be REMOVED: yast2_basis 43 packages to remove.

Installing openSUSE Tumbleweed i686 on 32bit Compaq NC-6400 laptop:
by pj.world＠gmx.com 10 Apr '21

10 Apr '21

A couple weeks ago I downloaded and verified an .iso from the following link: -> http://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/iso/ It was a 32 bit snapshot by the name of: -> openSUSE-Tumbleweed-KDE-Live-i686-Snapshot20210307-Media.iso I am uncertain between the difference in the i686 openSUSE TW .iso's as per current or snapshot-media suffixes. I successfully used balena Etcher to transfer the .iso to USB. I was able to use this snapshot effectively to install openSUSE TW on an Atom 311mini 1600 mhz cpu - small laptop. It was slow to update and very slow now but in a pinch functional. :| I am now attempting to use the same usb drive to install openSUSE TW onto a 32 bit Compaq nc-6400 1833 mhz Centrino Duo with 4 gigabytes of memory installed and verified. Intel integrated graphics onboard as well as Intel onboard wireless functionality. 160 GB internal sata harddisk. The usb appears to load fine into the boot option menu where I can choose to install openSUSE Tumbleweed KDE Live. I attempt this option (The first option-default) and loading proceeds without noticeable incident except for a square mouse cursor with some (Jumbly characters inside). KDE desktop seemingly appears and background scrolls very slowly down a bit at an angle with the openSUSE welcome lizard on the sailing mast window appearing. Trying to use the mouse cursor (block) is not functional when trying to click on "install". For that matter attempting to click on menu or closing the welcome window does not seem to work whatsoever. Are there a couple of options I could try with the boot menu that could yield some further success with this installation possibly? Thank You for your thoughts and suggestions.

Lexar F35
by suse＠a-domani.nl 09 Apr '21

Hi all, Anyone around who managed to get the Lexar-F35 storage+fingerprint working with SuSE? They claimed that it was compatible under Linux, however, the small-print (after buying it) says: only the storage-part, not the fingerprint-reader.

ya Feature Comparison: Language selector
by kf 09 Apr '21

09 Apr '21

A nice feature in gnome/wayland is that we can easily change the (software) keyboard from one language to another (well. the choices are actually a bit more than that). A little bit of configuration is required in advance of course. And hotkeys can be assigned so then we don't even have to touch the mouse/touchpad. Do KDE, Mate, and/or other desktop environments have this feature? tia

Leap 15.1 delayed shutdown, at-spi-dbus-bus.service
by Istvan Gabor 09 Apr '21

09 Apr '21

Hello: My openSUSE Leap 15.1 system has a 90 seconds delay at shutdown. I use KDE3. It seems that some process is not stopped normally and systemd uses up its default timeout until it steps the next step of the shotdown process. Indeed, journalctl shows: # journalctl -rb -1 ... Apr 04 18:31:52 linux systemd[2014]: at-spi-dbus-bus.service: Killing process 2381 (at-spi-bus-laun) with signal SIGKILL. Apr 04 18:31:52 linux systemd[2014]: at-spi-dbus-bus.service: State 'stop-sigterm' timed out. Killing. Apr 04 18:30:23 linux systemd[1]: Stopped Restore /run/initramfs on shutdown. The above last tow lines shows the 90 seconds delay. ps shows: # ps -ef|grep at-spi 3555 2043 0 18:38 ? 00:00:00 /usr/lib/at-spi2/at-spi-bus-launcher 3560 3555 0 18:38 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/dbus-daemon --config-file=/usr/share/defaults/at-spi2/accessibility.conf --nofork --print-address 3 3562 2043 0 18:38 ? 00:00:00 /usr/lib/at-spi2/at-spi2-registryd --use-gnome-session There is no at-spi-dbus-bus service running but there is a at-spi-bus-launcher. I don't know how they are related. Maybe the delay occurs because there is no process to kill? How cold I fix this? The goal would be to get rid of the 90 seconds shutdown delay. Thanks in advance, Istvan

Desktop Environment Features Compared: window placement on startup
by kf 08 Apr '21

08 Apr '21

Gnome seems to be canceling ever more functionality with every release. Used to be, when my system came up from a cold start or a reboot, all the windows were in the same place as when the system was shut down. Now gnome just puts all the windows in a senseless pile on the left side of of the screen. How do other desktop environments-- e.g., Mate, Enlighten, KDE-- handle this? Thanks.

systemd automount units are dying ?

I have a couple of NFS and samba filesystems that I mount with systemd automounts from fstab: fileserver.local.net:/home/spamchek /home/spamchek nfs x-systemd.automount,x-systemd.idle-timeout=300,tcp,_netdev,user 0 0 fileserver.local.net:/home/hostsuisse /home/hostsuisse nfs x-systemd.automount,x-systemd.idle-timeout=300,tcp,_netdev,user 0 0 //io64.local.net/photos /home/per/Photos cifs user=me,password=XXXXXXXX,vers=1.0,x-systemd.automount,x-systemd.idle-timeout=300,_netdev,user 0 0 //heron.local.net/photos /home/per/Photos2 cifs user=me,password=XXXXXXXX,x-systemd.automount,x-systemd.idle-timeout=300,_netdev,user 0 0 Sometimes the two NFS automounts fail, whereas the cifs ditto keep working. # systemctl status home-hostsuisse.automount ● home-hostsuisse.automount Loaded: loaded (/etc/fstab; generated; vendor preset: disabled) Active: failed (Result: resources) since Thu 2021-04-01 08:25:21 CEST; 6 days ago Where: /home/hostsuisse Docs: man:fstab(5) man:systemd-fstab-generator(8) Mar 31 08:39:16 office68 systemd[1]: Set up automount home-hostsuisse.automount.

Anbox
by Vojtěch Zeisek 07 Apr '21

07 Apr '21

Hi, did anyone manage it to run Anbox or any other as much featured Android emulator on openSUSE (preferably TW) to run? Installation of Anbox <https:// docs.anbox.io/userguide/install.html> requires kernel modules and snap, which don't see to be available. There seems to be some Anbox of unclear version available <https://software.opensuse.org/package/anbox> but I'm not sure how reliable they are and which one to pick. -- Vojtěch Zeisek https://trapa.cz/ Komunita openSUSE GNU/Linuxu Community of the openSUSE GNU/Linux https://www.opensuse.org/

Quick installation report on 15.3
by Per Jessen 07 Apr '21

07 Apr '21

Yesterday, I installed 15.3 on a xen guest - the minimal server pattern. In summary - fast and easy and nothing much to comment on. Minor observations - - when reviewing "Automatic Changes", the list starts at the end. - "cannot save ntp config because chrony is not installed" - needless prompt. - final pop-up, "the system will reboot now" - no time-out ? "Performing Installation" - an hourglass character/icon until the ETA can be estimated, nice touch! I see some fonts (adobe, cantarell, google) are being installed, which doesn't make much sense, but they don't take up much space or time. ISTR it having to do with the release notes or some such? The two prompts are a little annoying, coz they mean I have to be present to hit "OK", otherwise the install will be held up. Previously, I thought we had a 10sec time-out on the final prompt ? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (0.7°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free dynamic DNS, made in Switzerland.
