Can't install via PXE
by Daniel Spannbauer 22 Dec '22

22 Dec '22

Hello, I try to install a new machine via PXE. We did this many times before, but now we've got new hardware and it doesn't work anymore. But I don't know why.... The new hardware has a MSI MPG B550 mainboard, network chipset needs a r8169 driver. The machine boots fine (as allways) but after loading the initrd it stops with a "can't mount root fs" and a kernel panic. The config for the pxelinux looks like: label 15.4 kernel 15.4/boot/x86_64/loader/linux append initrd=15.4/boot/x86_64/loader/initrd ramdisk_size=65536 splash=silent showopts BrokenModules=+gma500_gfx install=nfs://10.3.1.2/tftpboot/15.4 Also tried it with "insmod=r8169", but it doesn't help. Any Idea what's going on here? How can I get more infos? When the kernel panics, I can't go backwards to inspect the log...

openSUSE OBS mystery.
by Roger Oberholtzer 19 Dec '22

19 Dec '22

If one goes to this place: https://build.opensuse.org/package/binaries/devel:tools/ElectricFence/openS… and selects to download, say, the x64 src RPM: https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/tools/openSUSE_Tumbleweed… firefox says this: ftp.gwdg.de has a security policy called HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), which means that Firefox can only connect to it securely. You can’t add an exception to visit this site. Why is that site even involved? Is it a mirror for OBS? And if so, shouldn't it have the same access setup for this access? -- Roger Oberholtzer

Is it possible to start NetworkManager and perhaps other services to have network access from runlevel 1? TIA, Jeffrey

Handbrake on new Leap 15.4 install
by Jeffrey Taylor 19 Dec '22

19 Dec '22

I have Leap 15.4 newly installed. HandBrakeGUI from packman repository doesn't seem to recognize any of the details of an MPEG file from Zoom. I can't clip the video using the seconds limits. VLC is installed from Packman and can play the video. That required install VLC and vlc-codecs from Packman. Am I missing codecs or something else from Packman? TIA, Jeffrey

Solution - nuke plymouth (my choice): # rpm -e plymouth-dracut plymouth-scripts plymouth-branding-openSUSE plymouth-plugin-script plymouth plymouth-plugin-label-ft or kernel pass the kernel parameter on the kernel command line: "plymouth.enable=0" You will never hang-on-shutdown again.... -- David C.

Leap 15.4 hangs on Terminate Plymouth boot screen
by Jeffrey Taylor 17 Dec '22

17 Dec '22

After updating from 15.3 to 15.4 with "zypper dup", I can boot into runlevel 1 and run startx. Runlevels 2, 3, and the default (multi-user GUI) hang at the message in the title. Adding plymouth.enable at the end of the linux line in grub changes nothing. Any ideas or resources to debug? This is a Lenovo T520. TIA, Jeffrey

Nothing happens. > Changing the kernel parameters as suggested does not change the end result. No kernel messages constituting clues appeared during boot? Did you wait a short while before trying ENTER? Like David, I don't have Plymouth installed. I've heard that there are configurations that require it, but never experienced same. During installation, I taboo it. Its primary function seems to be to emulate Windows boot, which is to say, hide boot messages with a graphic screen until login becomes possible. Have you tried waiting a few minutes before giving up? Certain types of hangs will clear of their own accord if you wait long enough, often 90 seconds, but I've run across problems what will take more than 13 minutes before a dracut or emergency shell appears to report trouble. Can you do journalctl -b -1 after runlevel 1 boot to find persistent journal reporting errors? If not, you may need to enable persistence in /etc/systemd/journald.conf, and create directory /var/log/journal, then attempt reboot at least once before finding a prior boot journal to examine. Booted to runlevel 1, is there ample freespace on /? -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science. Team OS/2 ** Reg.

15.4 - How to make Mic work with Discord -- fine with Audacity and arecord??
by David C. Rankin 14 Dec '22

14 Dec '22

All, Here is a strange issue. Never use discord, but needed to tonight. I can't get it to use my microphone. Audacity and arecord have no issue at all using the mic. The details are: $ arecord -L null Discard all samples (playback) or generate zero samples (capture) speexrate Rate Converter Plugin Using Speex Resampler upmix Plugin for channel upmix (4,6,8) default:CARD=PCH HDA Intel PCH, 92HD81B1X5 Analog Default Audio Device sysdefault:CARD=PCH HDA Intel PCH, 92HD81B1X5 Analog Default Audio Device front:CARD=PCH,DEV=0 HDA Intel PCH, 92HD81B1X5 Analog Front output / input Audacity sees the mic without problems. For arecord, I specify -D front to tell it to use CARD=PCH,DEV=0. Discord on the other hand lists no audio devices in "Voice & Video" settings. The "INPUT DEVICE" and "OUTPUT DEVICE" are non-selectable -- but it thinks the mic is working (I can mute/unmute it) and I hear the other party on discord just fine. Anybody run into this? Any fix? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
