Amarok stops
by James Knott 19 Jun '22

19 Jun '22

Since installing 15.4, I've noticed Amarok frequently stops. With 15.3, it would play for hours without issue. Anyone else notice this? Looking that the title line right now, I don't see a next song listed. I do see the previous song, which it stopped after. I then had to click on play again. It's Amarok v 2.9.71

updating a system hardwareside mbr -> gpt
by Simon Becherer 19 Jun '22

19 Jun '22

Hi, i have a new computer with ssd (nvme0n1) 1tb and 3tb hdd (hda) old system have had hda 1tb hdb 2tb both hdd's are bootable (hda tumbleweed graphic kde, hdb old tumbleweed only shell, for backup + problem sovling +..) both systems amd main processor amd graphics format of both disks is ext4 both computers are switched to old style bios (uefi switched off) systems use "hardware name" (free translation from german) in fstab (hda1... nvme0n1p1 ...) copied everything to the new system (using dd) now of course the new hda1 is 2tb and have a 1tb unused. because i did not like to have a second partition on it, i have to change to gpt. hdd boot ok ssd boot after changing initramfs, fstab grub commandline and maybe some other small things. now to my question (for ssd (to be more modern) and hdd (because of the 3tb)): 1) what would be the best way to change mbr to gpt -> maybe using gdisk? https://superuser.com/questions/1250895/converting-between-gpt-and-mbr-hard… https://www.rodsbooks.com/gdisk/mbr2gpt.html -> i do not understand clearly, will it then still be bootable / and 100% correct gpt or is this only a "it will work (with or even unusable for me without booting)" solution? 2) i found in /etc/default/grub_installdevice one line: generic_mbr i guess that this info has to be changed, what must be insert here instead of "generic_mbr" regards, simoN -- www.becherer.de

Symbiote - Impossible-to-Detect Linux Threat
by David C. Rankin 19 Jun '22

19 Jun '22

All (especially anyone running a server), There apparently is a nasty bit of Linux malware I hadn't been privy to until tonight. The report is: https://www.intezer.com/blog/research/new-linux-threat-symbiote/ The design is incredibly sophisticated, to the point of hooking execve for ldd and scrubbing it's own name from the list of shared objects returned. The sticky-wicket is it is hard to discover even if you are looking for it. Worth passing along to put a few more openSUSE eyes smarter than mine on it. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

my upgrade goof
by bent fender 18 Jun '22

18 Jun '22

Just upped 15.3 to 15.4 but I think I made a mistake. Looking at the auto selected packages I thought 'let's upgrade almost everything' and ended up with a 1-hour run. Then to make things worse (and maybe because og my goof) the subsequent on-line update with yast took anothe hour. Later today I'm going to upgrade the Leap partition on my g73 laptop but think I should only upgrade the auto-selected packages. Would this upgrade everything that needs upgrading to become 15.4?

Tumbleweed: Can’t login, loops me back to login screen
by Martin /Nightowl/ Byttebier 17 Jun '22

17 Jun '22

Hello, After an update yesterday I found that I’m stuck at the login screen. After typing my password the screen goes black for a few seconds then I’m back at the login again. The same applies for root. I'm using latest Tumbleweed (20220613) with X11. Wayland doesn't help either. I can login using IceWM though. Any idea how I can solve this?

Microsucky Idiot-Bar VS Details-View
by bent fender 17 Jun '22

17 Jun '22

I notice that the very useful details view in Suse install, ugrade and yast update are GONE! Why? I find the details view indispensable. The button to select it has been edited out. -- "One has eaten the full meaning of life when willing to plant a tree under which one knows full well that one will never sit."

15.4 - chgrp of files I own "Operation not permitted"?? chmod setgid must be root after chgrp?? Apparmor??
by David C. Rankin 16 Jun '22

16 Jun '22

All, I am totally bewildered at the behavior of setting basic file permissions and ownership on 15.4. I cannot change the group on files I own. (WTF?). I cannot set or unset setgid on directories on directories I own with octets (I can with the g+s syntax) Is this apparmor or some other security setting? It wasn't this way with 15.0. Take for example a directory I own and have full write capability to: 00:02 wizard:~/tmp> l -d ./ drwxr-xr-x 10 david david 4096 Jun 15 23:01 ./ Now let's create a new directory named "foo": $ md foo $ l -d ./foo/ drwxr-xr-x 2 david david 4096 Jun 16 00:03 ./foo/ So far so good. Let's change the group to "skyline" of which I'm the sole member, e.g. $ grep skyline /etc/group skyline:x:1000:david $ chown david:skyline foo chown: changing ownership of 'foo': Operation not permitted Huh?? What gives? Why can't I change directory ownership of "foo" to "skyline". That's really bad. Why would I have to be root to set group ownership on a directory I own? But I do: $ sudo chown david:skyline foo $ l -d ./foo drwxr-xr-x 2 david skyline 4096 Jun 16 00:03 ./foo Alright, can I at least set it setgid now so that the files created within it will have the proper permissions: $ chmod 2755 foo $ l -d ./foo drwxr-xr-x 2 david skyline 4096 Jun 16 00:03 ./foo What? Why didn't that work? Can I at least use 'g+s'? $ chmod g+s foo $ l -d ./foo drwxr-xr-x 2 david skyline 4096 Jun 16 00:03 ./foo What? Do I have to be root to do that? What gives? $ sudo chmod 2755 foo $ l -d ./foo drwxr-sr-x 2 david skyline 4096 Jun 16 00:03 ./foo Damnit! This is going to get old quick. I've never had to be root to set group ownership before. There are no ACL's set, so that's not it either. Is there an apparmor rule or something that is doing this? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

If it's plugged-in it should sound
by bent fender 15 Jun '22

15 Jun '22

Over 30 years of computing and it's in Leap-15.3 that for a first time I see something done the right way: with a guitar fx-board output plugged into my soundcard's 1/4" Line-In jack I can actually HEAR it *even before logging-in* (pulse is used). Interestingly enough this feature is not there in bleeding-edge Tumbleweed :-))) QUESTION: Is it detactable if some instrument is actually plugged into the sound card? If it is then this is the way to go, I mean if I plug something in it's because I want to hear it and it should be default, no? Would be nice to see this in TW as well all the same, even if it's an unintended bug! -- Artificial Stupidity will never be competitive.

tcsh does not work
by Wolfgang Mueller 15 Jun '22

15 Jun '22

Today at 13:00 my other computer suddenly became dark in KDE under Leap 15.4, recently installed. Then I opened a console and found out that tcsh does not work any more. I prepared three very simple scripts for testing purposes: -rwxr-xr-x 1 wolfgang 28 Jun 14 15:41 script.tcsh -rwxr-xr-x 1 wolfgang 27 Jun 14 15:57 script.sh -rwxr-xr-x 1 wolfgang 29 Jun 14 15:45 script.bash script.tcsh, consists of these 2 lines: #!/bin/csh echo 'Hi, world' script.sh, consists of these 2 lines: #!/bin/sh echo 'Hi, world and script.bash, consists of these 2 lines: #!/bin/bash echo 'Hi, world' Invoking them directly fails, yielding the error messages: script.tcsh: Command not found. script.sh: Command not found. script.bash: Command not found. When I invoke one of them specifying "tcsh", i.e. tcsh-prompt> tcsh script.tcsh the script hangs and has to be dropped with CTRL C. The same for tcsh-prompt> sh script.sh and tcsh-prompt> bash script.bash. The only way to make the scripts work is invoking them in a bash session. Now bash-prompt> tcsh script.tcsh hangs again, but bash-prompt> sh script.sh and bash-prompt> bash script.bash work correctly, producing the output Hi, world But even in a bash session, it is not possible to invoke the scripts directly. Anyway, I urgently need tcsh, having a lot of scripts working under tcsh or csh only. Thanks in advance for your help, Wolfgang
