TW: mutt no longer showing special characters
by Peter Suetterlin 26 Apr '22

26 Apr '22

Hi list, Since one of the latest updates of my TW computers(*) mutt (running in XTerm, but it's the same in konsole) no longer is showing special characters (like accented ones). Are others seeing that, too? Any hints what to look for? I didn't change any of my settings... (*) one is running TW20220421/mutt 2.2.3, the other one TW20220419/mutt 2.1.5 With LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 I get, e.g., "ZurÃ¼ck", LANG=en_DE.UTF-8 displays it as two questionmarks, "Zur??ck"

on 15.4: any new fancy additional or differings repos?
by cagsm 25 Apr '22

25 Apr '22

I remember making the switch from 15.2 to 15.3, it was very messy in the early days in the rc stages or something, or at least me, I was not aware that there were those brand new backports and sle-update repos coming in additionally to those standard repos ever since until 15.2 days. so here is the question, are we getting another set of new additional or completely differing repo addresses on 15.4? anything to be aware of? where can one find such elementary changes and stuff if such stuff happens except for going for a clean install on clean new hardware and first observing and looking through all sorts of things there, and then manually "backporting" such stuff as addl repo urls to other existing but aged opensuse installs? ty.

autofs mounts don't show symlinks
by Marc Chamberlin 21 Apr '22

21 Apr '22

Hi - If I mount a filesystem, from a different computer system on my local network, on my laptop using autofs (automount actually), where samba exported cifs shares from the other remote system, I run into a snag. How do I get ls -al or the abbreviated for - ll to show me both a link name and the file/dir being pointed at, in the same way of using ls -al or ll on a local file system shows me symlinks? For example if I use ll (or ls -al) to show me the contents of directory on my laptop - marcslaptop:/srv/bacula #ll total 32 drw-rw-r-- 2 root bacula 4096 Aug 16 2020 etc_bacula5.2 drw-rw-r-- 2 root bacula 4096 Aug 16 2020 etc_bacula7.4 drw-rw-r-- 2 root bacula 4096 Jun 23 2021 etc_bacula9.0.3 drw-rw-r-- 2 root bacula 4096 Apr 4 16:41 etc_bacula9.6.6 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root bacula 15 Apr 3 18:21 etc_SYMLINK-> etc_bacula9.6.6 drw-rw-r-- 2 root bacula 4096 Apr 4 16:43 etc_systemd_system lrwxrwxrwx 1 root bacula 56 Aug 16 2020 README-> /home/marc/Documents/System Notes/Linux/Bacula_notes.txt lrwxrwxrwx 1 root bacula 41 Apr 3 20:11 usr_lib_systemd_system_bacula-fd.service_SYMLINK-> /usr/lib/systemd/system/bacula-fd.service drw-rw-r-- 2 root bacula 4096 Apr 4 16:44 usr_lib_tmpfiles.d drw-rw-r-- 2 root bacula 4096 Apr 3 20:26 usr_sbin lrwxrwxrwx 1 root bacula 17 Oct 4 2020 var_spool_bacula_SYMLINK-> /var/spool/bacula drw-rw-r-- 2 root bacula 4096 Aug 16 2020 working_bacula5.0 Note that all the entries in this directory, that are symlinks, the ll or ls -al commands show both the name of the symlink and the path that the symlink follows to the target of the symlink. I use autofs to mount various samba (cifs) file systems under /mnt/samba/SuSE/<system name>/<remote file system> My autofs automounter maps, on my laptop, look something like this for mounting shares from a remote system named bigbang - rootdir -fstype=cifs,rw,dir_mode=0777,file_mode=0777,credentials=/etc/smb.auth ://bigbang/rootdir srv -fstype=cifs,rw,dir_mode=0777,file_mode=0777,credentials=/etc/smb.auth ://bigbang/srv But if I show this same directory, by following an automount to another system (named bigbang here) and then follow an automount path back to my laptop to show the above /srv/bacula directory, I get the following display that does not show the symlinked paths - marcslaptop:/srv/bacula #ll /mnt/samba/SuSE/bigbang/rootdir/mnt/samba/SuSE/marcslaptop/srv/bacula total 20 drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 0 Aug 16 2020 etc_bacula5.2 drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 0 Aug 16 2020 etc_bacula7.4 drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 0 Jun 23 2021 etc_bacula9.0.3 drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 0 Apr 4 16:41 etc_bacula9.6.6 drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 0 Apr 4 16:41 etc_SYMLINK drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 0 Apr 4 16:43 etc_systemd_system -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13616 Mar 1 20:52 README -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 1411 Apr 3 21:33 usr_lib_systemd_system_bacula-fd.service_SYMLINK drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 0 Apr 4 16:44 usr_lib_tmpfiles.d drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 0 Apr 3 20:26 usr_sbin drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 0 Apr 5 02:20 var_spool_bacula_SYMLINK drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 0 Aug 16 2020 working_bacula5.0 I used this example to somewhat dramatically illustrate the problem, but following a single automount point and displaying a remote directory also does not show symlink paths. Where I am really having problems is when I use Beyond Compare to compare files and directories on both a local filesystem and a remote filesystem accessed via an automount point. It is critical to know when I am working with a symlink on a remote filesystem, otherwise Beyond Compare is blind to them and can easily clobber and ruin a remote system by overwriting a symlink. AFAIK Beyond Compare is being blinded by the automount system dropping the symlink information. Hope I have been clear and hopefully some nice guru with have a magic incantation I can use to solve this issue. Google has not been my friend on this issue!

[oS-EN] firewalld question
by Carlos E. R. 20 Apr '22

20 Apr '22

Hi, I get these messages in the firewall log, using firewalld: 2022-04-20T22:18:58.849017+02:00 Elesar kernel: [13052.961056] FINAL_REJECT: IN=eth0 OUT= MAC=01:00:5e:00:00:01:b0:a7:b9:ae:05:3c:08:00 SRC=192.168.1.1 DST=224.0.0.1 LEN=36 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=1 ID=0 DF PROTO=2 They come from the router. proto=2 means IGMP. What do I have to do, using the firewall-config application, to allow those packages? Would it be to add protocol "igmp" in the protocol tab? It seems to work, but I don't know if that is the correct method. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from Elesar, using openSUSE Leap 15.3)

leap 15.4, only having openssh 8.4? post quantum key exchange from 8.9 / 9.0 ?
by cagsm 19 Apr '22

19 Apr '22

Users list, leap 15.4, only having openssh 8.4? according to download files list at: <http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/leap/15.4/repo/oss/x86_64/> I only see openssh 8.4 named packages. Is there backport of post-quantum key exchange support introduced in openssh 8.9 and finalized in openssh 9.0 included? <https://www.openssh.com/txt/release-9.0> i regard these security features very important. isnt openssh 8.4 from like sept 2020? <https://www.openssh.com/txt/release-8.4> dwelling on the windows platform here, just recently the putty project added this new post-quantum key exchange to their client code base as well. <https://git.tartarus.org/?p=simon/putty.git;a=commit;h=faf1601a5549eda9298f…> can I use this on new leap releases or will these be backported to current and supported leap and other suse products? is it not important to the security of suse users? ty

is it possible to remove only non-existing from ./cache/thumbnails?
by Daniel Bauer 19 Apr '22

19 Apr '22

Hello, my ~/.cache/thumbnails contains uncountable old files for images that do not exist anymore, so they are there "for nothing". I know I can delete those folders and they will be rebuilt, but rebuilding will take some time, so I don't want that. Is there a way to clean-up those directories, only delete the thumbnails for files that do not exist anymore? Didn't find anything useful in big brother... Do you know a smart solution? have a nice day! Daniel -- Daniel Bauer photographer Basel Málaga https://www.patreon.com/danielbauer https://www.daniel-bauer.com

os 15.3 won't boot into KDE after regular update
by Gustav Degreef 19 Apr '22

19 Apr '22

Hello, I need some help in how to approach this problem. The oot process ends with a black screen with a mouse cursor. ESC brings me to the terminal screen which shows the boot hung at "Started Locale Service (OK). I can not get any other terminal (Ctrl+F1-F12). If I include "nomodeset" by editing the grub boot menu item, I can get a boot prompt and login as root. I have network access but "startx" produces the same dark scren with a cursor which I can move, but no desktop. Running opensuse 15.3 (previously upgraded from 15.2 and prior to that 15.1). Running only kde, kernel and other major software from the regular opensuse repos. The recnt upgrade included the 5.3.18-150300.59.63-default kernel. I tried removing the .local directory for my user, but no help. I have Intel graphics (no NVidia or AMD) on this Lenovo T440 laptop. How to approach fixing this? Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks, Gustav
