google borked
by Dave Howorth 02 May '21

02 May '21

I generally use google with javascript disabled, to reduce their ability to track me. I noticed today that their site no longer displays correctly. If I disable their CSS as well and scroll down past lots of junk oversize icons etc, I eventually can see some search results. Even better, the search results are direct links with no google redirection embedded. So good news, but mostly bad news. Does anybody know anything about what is going on? And is anybody aware of any tools to make such google results usable again? Yes, the likes of duckduckgo or startpage give me some functionality, but not as much as I had yesterday with google + noscript. :(

su with xauth and display
by Richmond 01 May '21

01 May '21

How does opensuse automatically set the xauth and DISPLAY when using su? I'd like to do the same thing with debian. Also, I remember long ago there used to be a way to run an x-server in an x-window. I think it was called zephyr but this seems to be an entirely different thing now. Does anyone remember or know a way?

Stealthy Linux backdoor malware spotted after three years of minding your business??
by David C. Rankin 01 May '21

01 May '21

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
by Carl Spitzer {L Juno} 01 May '21

01 May '21

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'.

boot fail on 15.3 rc zypper dup
by jdd＠dodin.org 01 May '21

01 May '21

Just a word to say that I did a zypper dup to update my 15.3 home server. probably to Rc version, given the date. At the end it asked to reboot, what I did, but the reboot didn't succeed, ended with a file not found grub error, a "mod" file missing (don't remember which) I could reboot on the usb pen with 15.3 image, in rescue mode and chroot in actual 15.3, use yast to rewrite the grub system and now it works nothing very special, just a warning jdd -- http://dodin.org

Signing off for now.
by Per Jessen 01 May '21

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.
