x windows on 15.3
by joea- lists 14 Feb '22

14 Feb '22

Originally installed a test 15.3 system as a simple server, no graphics environment. It's been maybe a decade since I had to install and configure an X system from scratch. Added X11 via Yast. Accepted the required additions. systemctl start xdm.service fails. Due to "dependencies". Did find a few services it needed that were not installed by YAST. Still failed to start. Eventually I found it was failing due to "not configured". Suse docs seem to say it does "not normally need to be configured" and should just work. I've so far found no configuration utilities to assist. At least none seem to be installed. Any assistance is appreciated. joe a.

problem printing some documents
by Istvan Gabor 10 Feb '22

10 Feb '22

Hello: This occurs in openSUSE Leap 15.3 with its default cups installation. The printer is an Epson AL-M300II connected with USB cable. There are some documents I cannot print, eg invoices. Other regular pdf files print OK. When opening a problematic document with Okular, it says: "This document has embedded files. Click here to see them or go to File -> Embedded Files. This document has forms. Click on the button to interact with them, or use View -> Show Forms. This document is digitally signed." When I print the document, the printer's green led is blinking, but nothing is printed. CUPS acces_log file says: localhost - - [09/Feb/2022:18:14:05 +0100] "POST /printers/epson_usb HTTP/1.1" 200 605 Create-Job successful-ok localhost - - [09/Feb/2022:18:14:05 +0100] "POST /printers/epson_usb HTTP/1.1" 200 1205055 Send-Document successful-ok lpstat reports a successful print job: epson_usb-30 user 1205248 Wed 09 Feb 2022 06:14:20 PM CET What to check or how to fix this? Thanks, Istvan

Hi all, I 've been using Stellarium as a planetarium software and also for demonstration purposes. For some time, it is blinking, flickering etc, cannot be enjoyed at all. This is an elder ASUS laptop with TW and KDE (and XFCE). Is there somebody out there who also uses Stellarium and observed this unwanted flickering. Any idea is welcome. Thanks, Albert

On a machine I did a "zypper dup" to update from 15.2 to 15.3, the 15.3 does not have sound at bootup. Sound card is: # lspci | grep -i audio 16:00.4 Audio device: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.

TW Yast Bootloader Options refreshes repos?
by Michael Hamilton 07 Feb '22

07 Feb '22

In recent weeks/months I've noticed that if I enter the Yast "Boot Loader Settings" "Bootloader-Options" tab, there is a long pause because yast immediately refreshes/downloads all the zypper repo data. Why does changing the boot loader options require a repo refresh? And while I'm on the subject of repos, I'm sometimes asked whether I want to accept new keys (like just five minutes ago). I always answer yes, but is there an easy way to tell what answer I should give? Or perhaps a way to get zypper to authoritatively check or re-check keys? Thanks. Michael

Samba updates crashes smbd
by Marc Chamberlin 06 Feb '22

06 Feb '22

I am running OpenSuSE 15.3, x64 I am a bit confused, I noticed on Mon Feb 1, that I received a number of updates, many of which involved samba bringing it to version 4.15.4-git.324.8332acf1a63150300.3.25.3-SUSE-oS15.0-x86_64. Today (Feb 5) I noticed that autofs on other systems was failing and I traced the problem back to samba which was failing to export shares because smbd had crashed. The smb.log file showed this error - [2022/02/05 18:45:01.852699, 0] ../../source3/smbd/server.c:1734(main) smbd version 4.15.4-git.324.8332acf1a63150300.3.25.3-SUSE-oS15.0-x86_64 started. Copyright Andrew Tridgell and the Samba Team 1992-2021 [2022/02/05 18:45:01.867593, 0] ../../lib/util/become_daemon.c:120(exit_daemon) exit_daemon: daemon failed to start: Samba failed to init printing subsystem, error code 13 Googling this error message lead me to this bug report - https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1191532 which seems to be all about fixing this error. The bug is marked resolved/fixed and the last entries (on Mon Feb 1) are about releasing the fix. So I assume that the release of this fix corresponds to the updates I got on that same day. Yet this is when this particular bug started showing up on my systems! I have dropped back to version 4.13.13-git.539.fdbc44a85983.20.2-SUSE-oS15.0-x86_64of samba and all is well again, both autofs and my printers are working again. So what gives? Did this update fix, or not fix this bug? I admit I do not grok about 95% of the bug report (didn't take the time to do so) but it seems pretty coincidental that the bug was was marked as resolved and then released on the very day I got updates that broke my smbd daemons. Please don't be harsh on me, I am simply trying to understand what is going on and would appreciate any suggestions/advise on what to do about updating Samba.
