"This video cannot be played"
by Douglas McGarrett 27 May '22

27 May '22

I have received a number of messages from various sources with a video attached, but across the face of what must be the first screen, is the message, "This video cannot be played." I'm curious--what kind of video is being sent that cannot be player, and why? --doug

In openSUSE 15.1, memtest, as installed, would not work with UEFI. Has this been fixed in 15.2? There is a version on the memtest website that will work with it. tnx jk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

OS install on USB-C disk on a laptop
by Cyrus 18 Mar '22

18 Mar '22

Hello!, I have a work machine I cannot reinstall (comes with Windows), Latitude 5420. Given it has only one M2 slot, I'm exploring using a Sabrent nano USB-C external disk to run opensuse from it, but I'm wondering if it will work properly in a laptop scenario (suspend/resume). Can anybody share their experience with similar setups?. Regards, Cyrus.-

[opensuse] Bug in usb drivers? "Not enough bandwidth for new device state"
by Markus Egg 01 Mar '22

01 Mar '22

SuSE Tumbleweed with newest updates and upgrades. 5.7.1-1-default #1 SMP Wed Jun 10 11:53:46 UTC 2020 (6a549f6) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Just recently started to give error messages when plugging in e.g. USB Headsets, Arduino Uno into some Exsys USB 3.0 hub. This was working fine in Tumbleweed before and in e.g. SuSE 13.1. The error message is e.g.: [...]usb 2-1.4.3: new full-speed USB device number 10 using xhci_hcd [...]usb 2-1.4.3: New USB device found, idVendor=2341, idProduct=0043, bcdDevice= 0.01 [...]usb 2-1.4.3: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=220 [...]usb 2-1.4.3: Manufacturer: Arduino (www.arduino.cc) ...serialnumber... [...]kernel: usb 2-1.4.3: Not enough bandwidth for new device state. [...]kernel: usb 2-1.4.3: can't set config #1, error -28 This error message started on Jun 04, after making an update (zypper up) on June 3rd. A USB3.0 stick is working on the Exsys Hub. The Arduino is working on some other USB 3.0 Port of another hub. Regression? Any hints how to get this away? Found only another occurrence of this bug: http://opensuse92.rssing.com/chan-20813128/all_p1407.html Best regards -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[oS-en] Reiserfs ongoing problem
by Carlos E. R. 03 Feb '22

03 Feb '22

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I have a problem with my one remaining reiserfs partition on rotating rust. The problem I initially detected was that telling the machine to hibernate sometimes appeared to stall, and I had to force a power off (via physical power switch) to recover. In fact, I found out later, the kernel was simply syncing one partition, and this operation would take half an hour, which it is absurd. Later I found out that it was only one partition affected, and this partition was (is) reiserfs. Then I guessed that the slow operation was syncing the metadata (the time stamps) of the news (nntp) spool. Traditionally a news server touches (and use) the access timestamp each time a post is read, affecting one file per read. With the default mount options used nowdays this modification stays in RAM for long, many hours. So, the cronjob that scans the news spool now also calls sync on that filesystem, and when hibernating I call sync in advance. This improved things, but not completely. Thus I finally resorted to moving the news spool only to another reiserfs partition created on an SSD disk, which usually syncs in seconds, instead of half an hour. So I thought, problem solved. But later on I noticed that the sync operation prior to hibernating on the old reiserfs partition still takes long, but only on some days - even if nothing writes there now. This is astonishing. Look, last Monday: Telcontar:~ # hibernate 2021-12-13 04:26:18+01:00 Checking news to send 2021-12-13 04:26:22+01:00 Syncing rm: cannot remove '/var/lib/news/bin/cronscriptparafetchnews.enabled': No such file or directory 2021-12-13 06:06:09+01:00 synced.
