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.

[oS-en] rsyslog filtering question.
by Carlos E. R. 24 Jan '22

24 Jan '22

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, After I upgraded to 15.3 my main machine, I see excesive verbose entries, probably debug entries, in the warning log. I want to filter them out. These are the entries I'm starting with: <3.4> 2022-01-23T22:56:02.171332+01:00 Telcontar systemd-xdg-autostart-generator 28650 - - /etc/xdg/autostart/ibus-autostart.desktop:2: Unknown key name '_Name' in section 'Desktop Entry', ignoring. <3.4> 2022-01-23T22:56:02.171482+01:00 Telcontar systemd-xdg-autostart-generator 28650 - - /etc/xdg/autostart/ibus-autostart.desktop:3: Unknown key name '_GenericName' in section 'Desktop Entry', ignoring. <3.4> 2022-01-23T22:56:02.171539+01:00 Telcontar systemd-xdg-autostart-generator 28650 - - /etc/xdg/autostart/ibus-autostart.desktop:4: Unknown key name '_Comment' in section 'Desktop Entry', ignoring. <3.4> 2022-01-23T22:56:02.171911+01:00 Telcontar systemd-xdg-autostart-generator 28650 - - Configuration file /etc/xdg/autostart/klipper.desktop is marked executable.

Proceeding anyway. <3.4> 2022-01-23T22:56:02.175609+01:00 Telcontar systemd-xdg-autostart-generator 28650 - - Not generating service for XDG autostart app-xapp\x2dsn\x2dwatcher-autostart.service, error parsing Exec= line: No such file or directory So, I create this filter in /etc/rsyslog.conf: #debugging. if $syslogfacility == 3 and $syslogseverity == 4 and $programname == 'systemd-xdg-autostart-generator' \ then -/var/log/pruned.warn & stop This does work. So indeed it is facility number 3, severity 4, and the programname is correct. But I want to be more strict, and I write this modified filter: #debugging. if $syslogfacility == 3 and $syslogseverity == 4 and $programname == 'systemd-xdg-autostart-generator' \ and ($msg startswith '/etc/xdg/autostart/ibus-autostart.desktop') \ then -/var/log/pruned.warn & stop This does not trigger on the line below, it continues being written to /var/log/warn and not to /var/log/pruned.warn: <3.4> 2022-01-23T22:56:02.171539+01:00 Telcontar systemd-xdg-autostart-generator 28650 - - /etc/xdg/autostart/ibus-autostart.desktop:4: Unknown key name '_Comment' in section 'Desktop Entry', ignoring. To me, it is obvious that the message is indeed starting with '/etc/xdg/autostart/ibus-autostart.desktop', so why doesn't it work? What am I missing? If instead I write: #debugging. if $syslogfacility == 3 and $syslogseverity == 4 and $programname == 'systemd-xdg-autostart-generator' \ and ($msg contains '/etc/xdg/autostart/ibus-autostart.desktop') \ then -/var/log/pruned.warn & stop It does work. :-? - -- Cheers Carlos E.

Entering Unicode hexcodes using Ctrl-Shift-u
by Darryl Gregorash 24 Jan '22

24 Jan '22

As reported by several list members, it appears that this no longer works in TW, and I can confirm that it also does not work out-of-box with Leap 15.3. A bit of digging around the web came up with a solution: install the package ibus and reboot. Voilà, it works again, except in a console (including eg. Konsole). By default, this will put a panel in the system tray that allows one to configure the beast to one's preferences. There are also a lot of supplementary packages that I haven't examined yet. I have no idea what any of them do, or why/when they might be needed. At least with just this one package, the basic functioning can be restored. Next silly question, why is ibus not included as part of the default configuration at install time?

Having followed your advice, I repeated deleting and re-setting up the Wifi adapter in Yast as described above, which worked now without producing an error message. Now, my problem does not persist any more, i.e. I have a wireless access to my router again - thanks a lot! Best regards, Wolfgang

[oS-en] How can I play a sound from a script?
by Carlos E. R. 23 Jan '22

23 Jan '22

Hi, I want to play a sound from a script, for example to signal it finished, but I can't. First problem: I can't find a CLI command able to play the sound files I want, found in the default installed system: er@Erebor4:~> aplay /usr/share/sounds/freedesktop/stereo/bell.oga Playing raw data '/usr/share/sounds/freedesktop/stereo/bell.oga' : Unsigned 8 bit, Rate 8000 Hz, Mono ^CAborted by signal Interrupt... cer@Erebor4:~> This command produces horrible noise with any .oga file I try. cer@Erebor4:~> madplay /usr/share/sounds/freedesktop/stereo/bell.oga MPEG Audio Decoder 0.15.2 (beta) - Copyright © 2000-2004 Robert Leslie et al. audio: No such file or directory cer@Erebor4:~> cer@Erebor4:~> paplay /usr/share/sounds/freedesktop/stereo/bell.oga cer@Erebor4:~> (silence...) cer@Erebor4:~> play /usr/share/sounds/freedesktop/stereo/bell.oga /usr/share/sounds/freedesktop/stereo/bell.oga: File Size: 8.50k Bit Rate: 487k Encoding: Vorbis Channels: 2 @ 16-bit Samplerate: 44100Hz Replaygain: off Duration: 00:00:00.14 In:100% 00:00:00.14 [00:00:00.00] Out:6.15k [ ====|==== ] Clip:0 Done. cer@Erebor4:~> (silence...) I can play sounds with VLC, but not being a CLI command, it starts a GUI that then I have to close manually. "vlc --help" is huge, I have not seen a way to play a sound and exit. I can probably convert a sound to .wav, and play that one. play, aplay, and paplay all work that way. Second problem: I can not play them as root, and I do need them as rootm because those scripts run as root.

new XPS13 9310 resume from hibernate is failing
by mh＠mike.franken.de 23 Jan '22

23 Jan '22

Hi *, yesterday I installed a new XPS13 9310 2-in-1 by preparing the necessary partitions and reovering a backup from an XPS 13 9370. Everything works ok besides resuming from hibernate. For the original XPS13 9370 this still works without any problems. When running "systemctl hibernate" on the 9310 I get systemd-sleep[5537]: INFO: running /usr/lib/systemd/system-sleep/grub2.sleep for hibernate systemd-sleep[5537]: INFO: Running prepare-grub .. systemd-sleep[5537]: Skipping openSUSE Tumbleweed, with Linux 5.16.1-1- default (recovery mode), because it has the noresume option systemd-sleep[5537]: Skipping openSUSE Tumbleweed, with Linux 5.16.0-1- default (recovery mode), because it has the noresume option systemd-sleep[5537]: Skipping openSUSE Tumbleweed, with Linux 5.15.12-1- default (recovery mode), because it has the noresume option systemd-sleep[5537]: Skipping openSUSE Tumbleweed, with Linux 5.15.8-1- default (recovery mode), because it has the noresume option systemd-sleep[5537]: Skipping openSUSE Tumbleweed, with Linux 5.15.7-1- default (recovery mode), because it has the noresume option systemd-sleep[5537]: running kernel is grub menu entry openSUSE Tumbleweed (vmlinuz-5.16.1-1-default) systemd-sleep[5537]: preparing boot-loader: selecting entry openSUSE Tumbleweed, kernel /boot/5.16.1-1-default systemd-sleep[5537]: running /usr/sbin/grub2-once "openSUSE Tumbleweed" systemd-sleep[5537]: time needed for sync: 0.0 seconds, time needed for grub: 0.1 seconds. systemd-sleep[5537]: INFO: Done. systemd-sleep[5534]: Entering sleep state 'hibernate'... I get the same output from "systemctl hibernate" on the 9370. Both have a swap partition with 32 GB in size and 16 GB of RAM. Kernel command line contains resume=UUID=<uuid_of_swap_partition> in both cases. The only difference I saw is this message, that shows up on the 9310 before systemd-sleep is running: kernel: PM: Image not found (code -16) Any idea what might be wrong here? Thx and bye. Michael.
