Leap 15.3, KDE and removable media
by Roger Oberholtzer 22 Jun '21

22 Jun '21

I do not seem to get removable media to work correctly on leap 15.3 They are configured as usual to ask the user what to do, However, when plugging them in, KDE does not respond. I can see the devices listed with lsscsi. But nothing happens. I'm not sure where to look for more info. journalctl only lists that the devices are now there. But nothing happens in KDE. Is there some other setting other than the one in the system configuration program under Removable Devices? It would help if I got a complaint somewhere. But I do not see anything. Other than the system log, I'm not sure where to look. There used to be an X log file in $HOME that listed whatever programs were saying. I do not see that file. Any pointers would be appreciated. -- Roger Oberholtzer

Leap 15.3 samba-krb-printing removed from repo
by David Mace 18 Jun '21

18 Jun '21

Hi, We started testing Leap 15.3 and noticed samba-krb-printing is no longer a part of the offical repos. Yes we did decide to build it for ourselves in OBS but wondering why this was removed? This package is very useful for organisations in a Microsoft environment who have Linux desktops joined to a domain with Samba, they can print to a Windows Server shared printer seamlessly using their local kerberos ticket Thanks

Boot loader 15.3
by James Knott 16 Jun '21

16 Jun '21

My ThinkPad had been configured to have the boot loader on sda3. In updating to 15.3, I accidentally put it on the master boot record on sda. This has created a problem with updates to Windows 10, which I also have on that computer. The major updates will choke if the computer doesn't boot from the Windows partition, so I'd use fdisk to change booting from sda3 to sda1. It would then boot directly into Windows, allowing he update to continue. After my mistake in updating, I can no longer do that. I have used the Yast Boot Loader to move the boot loader to sda3, but the problem continues, no matter which partition I choose to boot from. Any idea how to fix this? tnx jk

SAMBA, Problem in SuSE Leap VERSION = 15.2, with "PRINT COMMAND ="
by Stefan Becker 15 Jun '21

15 Jun '21

openSUSE VERSION = 15.2 SAMBA Version 4.11.14-git.247.8c858f7ee14lp152.3.19.1-SUSE-oS15.0-x86_64 Greetings, this week I've installed a fresh SuSE 15.2 Server via DVD, and updated all services. This server would replace an existing old SuSE Server already in place. My problem is that the printer SHARE on the new Samba Server does not work. The file system shares [HOME] work fine, Just not any Printing shares that use "PRINT COMMAND =" as directive; in order to execute tailored script. My example is a simple PDF-Printer [pdf] printing = sysv comment = PDF Generator path = /tmp read only = no printer name = ps1 guest ok = yes printable = yes browseable = yes print command = /usr/local/lufa/mkpdf %s ~%u //%L/%u %m %I Being able to use "print command =" to submit to script is an important part of many solutions that I need to have in place. (The [PDF] share is just an example, I know that I could solve THIS differently.) Other file server shares like [HOMES] work fine. Just the "print command = " does not execute. Scripting to a log file shows no activity at all, and I receive no error messages, neither from the client nor from the samba server. Does anyone know how to debug the printing service. As to show if samba has a problem, or if the client is trying to submit printing at all. Setting "log level = 10" doesn't show me any usefull, at least any information that I can understand. I do know that "printing = cups" (using cups librarys) will suspend the "print command" completely, but does that mean that the "print command =" won't work at all with other "printing = " directives ? My printers otherwise use "printing = sysv", this has always worked. Can anybody help me with this or advise in what direction to pursue. my best regards, Stefan Becker LUFA Speyer My Script: --------- file: /usr/local/lufa # dir mkpdf -rwxr-xr-x 1 becker users 4299 14.

rbind mount problem
by Marc Chamberlin 15 Jun '21

15 Jun '21

Hello - I am running OpenSuSE Leap 15.2 and am encountering a problem with doing an rbind mount on the root / directory that I cannot find a solution to. I run a SOHO network and only my wife and I are users. (She is NOT Linux savoy so not a threat! LOL) In my /etc/fstab file I mount the root / directory at /slash using the following configuration - > /slash none rbind,x-systemd.automount,x-systemd.idle-timeout=300 0 0 The trouble I am having occurs when I try to set up a relative link in a sub-directory that uses slash. So for example I have a directory at /srv/samba/etc as accessed and shown here - > marcslaptop:~ # cd /srv/samba/etc/ > marcslaptop:/srv/samba/etc # ll > total 20 > lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 Jun 11 09:17 dhcp.conf -> /etc/samba/dhcp.conf > lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 32 Jun 13 14:52 lmhosts -> > ../../../slash/etc/samba/lmhosts > lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 33 Jun 12 22:21 smb.conf -> > ../../../slash/etc/samba/smb.conf > lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 Jun 13 15:34 smbusers -> > ../../../etc/samba/smbusers and all is fine and works as expected. However if I cd to this same directory via the /slash mount things go to pot! - > marcslaptop:/srv/samba/etc # cd /slash/srv/samba/etc/ > marcslaptop:/slash/srv/samba/etc # ll > total 20 > lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 Jun 11 09:17 dhcp.conf -> /etc/samba/dhcp.conf > lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 32 Jun 13 14:52 lmhosts -> > ../../../slash/etc/samba/lmhosts <-- Highlighted in red > lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 33 Jun 12 22:21 smb.conf -> > ../../../slash/etc/samba/smb.conf <-- Highlighted in red > lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 Jun 13 15:34 smbusers -> > ../../../etc/samba/smbusers > The color coding is missing but it shows that the links for lmhosts and smb.conf are broken. I can demonstrate this - > marcslaptop:/slash/srv/samba/etc # more smb.conf > more: stat of smb.conf failed: Too many levels of symbolic links > marcslaptop:/slash/srv/samba/etc # more lmhosts > more: stat of lmhosts failed: Too many levels of symbolic links I don't know if the relative links for lmhosts and smb.conf are broken because I cd via the /slash mount point or something else is haywired, but the error message telling me that there are "Too many levels of symbolic links" makes me think that an indefinite recursion loop is occurring somewhere. I can't grok why that would be the case, and after 5 days of Googling and reading man pages, I give up and hopefully a guru here has solved this or something similar and will be able to point me in the right direction and tell me how to get these links to work. I can't find any options for autofs, automount, cifs file systems etc that would solve this either. (Yes I am using cifs because there are Windoz systems on my SOHO network also and I want to be able to access the /slash share from them as well.) While this is NOT a complete or precise explanation for why I need these relative links to work via the /slash mount point, I want the /srv directory to contain all the links to various configuration files, for each service I run on each of my systems. This way I will be able to export a samba share for both /slash and /srv and use a tool like Beyond Compare to manage and maintain these files and keep them in sync when I update or make changes to a configuration file that should be propagated to each system on my network. Using relative links will allow me to access these configuration via the remote host's /slash mount and not via the local host's /slash mount. Thanks as always in advance for your time and efforts! Marc...

please consider fixing update system thank you
by paolo brusasco 14 Jun '21

14 Jun '21

Thank you for opensuse 15.3. Updating a brand new x64 opensuse install kde and gnome, as for now, fails and it's well known all over the internet. Zyppering and rezyppering updates something but doesn't fix. I'm sorry for the annoyance but I think this item should be on the top of the forum till the fix, and users should be openly informed of the fixing process on top of every official page of the project. Great, long lasting distribution, we wish and hope well. Thank you, best regards, Paolo Brusasco

Every time I try to install the proprietry Nvidia drivers X11 KDE Plasma completely fails to start
by Simon Connah 11 Jun '21

11 Jun '21

Hi, As the title really. I have no idea what is going on. It happened after the UsrMerge update and now I can't install the propriety drivers at all without completely killing my GUI. Is this a known issue at all? I don't want to try again because I haven't been able to fix it. Simon.

Handbrake is broken for what is sound - how to report a bug to packman?
by Stakanov 10 Jun '21

10 Jun '21

Handbrake is a coversion program for movies. The current version is broken apparently for sound. It creates conversions without. Now, I tried to understand, but found not bugzilla for them, so I wondered where to report a bug with them?
