LEAP 15.2 selecting only non-reboot updates
by David T-G 29 Jan '22

29 Jan '22

Hi, all -- I would love to keep my system more up to date, but I can't always plan for a reboot in the middle of what I'm doing. Is there a way (KDE updates menu, zypper, YaST, ...) to select all updates that won't require a reboot? TIA & Happy New Year :-D -- David T-G See http://justpickone.org/davidtg/email/ See http://justpickone.org/davidtg/tofu.txt

[New laptop] Recommendations for new (ultrabook) laptop
by Mark Stopka 29 Jan '22

29 Jan '22

Hi, I am seeking a new laptop which I would like to have the best possible experience with openSUSE, from hardware perspective I have the follwing requirements: - Screen: 13 - 14 inch - RAM: 32 or more memory - 500 GB to 1 TB - quality build (no bending plastic) - ideally WiFi 6 suport, or at least hardware with said ability so that the drivers can support it later - 8 hours batter lifetime during modersate load (YouTube,... no code compiling that I can do remotely or when plugged-in) - Bluetooth - USB-C - powerfull in-build GPU is nice to have but I am ok with powerfull embedded one, as I have eGPU over Thunderbold via USB-C - built in RJ54 1GbE would be nice, but I have a USB-C dongle that can take care of that Please let me know if I missed something I should add to my requirements list. Any recommendations what to look for? Minor bugs don't matter, I can either fix them myself, or pay someone to do it for me. -- Best regards / S pozdravem, BSc.

Leap 15.3 kernel 5.3.18-150300.59.43-default boot hang on Dell 2950
by Moby 28 Jan '22

28 Jan '22

Hi all. Since updating to Kernel 5.3.18-150300.59.43-default, my Dell 2950 server refuses to boot. It starts to boot, and then just freezes after a slight flicker of the screen (the freeze occurs with ACPI related messages on the screen, but those messages get displayed with previous kernel versions as well and those boot fine). There is nothing that is recorded in the boot logs etc. Reverting back to the previous kernel (5.3.18-59.40-default) resolves the problem. Is anyone else seeing similar issues? Regards, --Moby

Need a refresh on run as
by joea- lists 27 Jan '22

27 Jan '22

I find myself a bit brain fogged trying to setup an application to run as a system user rather than as the logged user. Done a bit of searching but only come up with very dated stuff that refers to now non existent settings. Pointers to a suse specific "how to" might be sufficient for a kick start. joe a.

Leap 15.3 install errors
by joea- lists 27 Jan '22

27 Jan '22

Installing leap 15.3 from ISO image downloaded today and burned to DVD. Downloaded from opensuse default site/ Several errors during actual install, not preparation. The first few were related to curl, suggesting the download site for repository was not reachable. These I skipped after several retries. The more concerning ones were of this nature: "Subprocess failed. Error:RPM failed:error:%prein(login_defs-4.81-2.43.noarch) scriptlet failed,exit status 127 error: login_defs-4.81-2.43.noarch:install failed" This is the one I am staring at now, there were several others all RPM related, soe mentioning other packages such as perl. Ignoring gives a warning about ignoring packages and later verifying system. The install would continue until the next one. After perhaps a dozen of these all different packages some of which seemed critical to a working system, I gave it up. This is not confidence inspiring. Does this suggest bad download image or some other issue? joe a.

openSUSE on root ZFS
by Nikita Druba 25 Jan '22

25 Jan '22

Hi to all! Some time ago I was a task to setup openSUSE on zfs, like a root filesystem. Instruction in openzfs-docs was usable, but not in all configuration and require a lot of time for every installation attempt. As result, I wrote script for an automatic installation with many changeable variables of installation. If someone have the same task, you can use this instrument: https://github.com/ndruba/LroZ I will be grateful for a user feedback or issue reports. P.S. This message not for discussion about advisability of using zfs on openSUSE as root filesystem. I hope, that peoples, that do it, understand what they do. Thanx.

plymouth-start.service KillMode=none. This is unsafe
by Admin Beckspaced 25 Jan '22

25 Jan '22

Dear opensuse list, since upgrading to opensuse leap 15.3 I do receive the following lines in the log: Jan 18 08:19:26 cx41 systemd[1]: /usr/lib/systemd/system/plymouth-start.service:15: Unit configured to use KillMode=none. This is unsafe, as it disables systemd's process lifecycle management for the service. Please update your service to use a safer KillMode=, such as 'mixed' or 'control-group'. Support for KillMode=none is deprecated and will eventually be removed. Is this something I need to worry about? What's the best way to fix this? Mixed? Control-Group? Thanks & greetings Becki

VirtualBox update kills USB
by James Knott 24 Jan '22

24 Jan '22

There was an update of VirtualBox to 6.1.32, which appears to break USB. It produces the error: Failed to start the virtual machine Windows 10. Failed to construct device 'usb-xhci' instance #0 (VERR_PDM_DEVHLP_VERSION_MISMATCH). Result Code: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005) Component: ConsoleWrap Interface: IConsole {872da645-4a9b-1727-bee2-5585105b9eed} Turning off USB allows Windows 10 to run. This also happens on my ThinkPad with USB 2, but with a slightly different error message reflecting the difference in USB.
