15.4 minicom can't connect to ttyACM0 as user -- only root (after connection setup as root)
by David C. Rankin 20 Jun '22

20 Jun '22

All, Something has changed in 15.4 related to access serial devices over USB in 15.4 and I can't figure out what? Here is the setup. I have several microcontrollers I connect to my laptop over USB. (TI MSP432 and RM46). In 15.0 after saving the connection parameters as root, I could connect to the devices on ttyACM0 as my normal user. However in 15.4, minicom refuses to connect saying can't get a lock on ttyACM0. (if I run minicom as root, then it works just fine) This has other implications as well. I use TI Code Composer Studio as the IDE for the microcontroller code. It provides arm versions of gcc, clang and the TI compiler. It also needs to connect over ttyACM0 to update the XDS110 debug probe firmware and to flash new programs to the microcontroller's flash memory. This worked seamlessly as user in 15.0. It now cannot update the firmware or flash new programs to the microcontrollers (see error at end) I suspect this may be a group issue. In 15.0 there was the adm group GID 485, that I made myself a member of. (I'm not positive this is the group at issue, but...) The adm group is not present in 15.4. Is this the culprit? All other groups seem to be common between 15.0 and 15.4. If not the adm group -- what else could it be? I had no issues using ttyACM0 as my user in 15.0 and now in 15.4 it seems I lack some type of permission to use it. The error thrown by CCS is: CS_DAP_0: Error initializing emulator: (Error -260 @ 0x0) An attempt to connect to the XDS110 failed. The cause may be one or more of: no XDS110 is connected, invalid firmware update, invalid XDS110 serial number, or faulty USB cable. The firmware and serial number may be updated using the xdsdfu utility found in the .../ccs_base/common/uscif/xds110 directory of your installation. View the XDS110SupportReadMe.pdf file there for instructions. (Emulation package 9.7.0.00213) I'm connected to it in an xterm watching the output of a MPU9850 update at 100 HZ right now -- it's connected and working (this rules out a faulty USB cable as well). The firmware update is also fine. So it looks like the same permission issue with can't get a lock on ttyACM0 that minicom complains of. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Tumbleweed with 5.18.1 : Problem with NVidia driver
by Peter Maffter 19 Jun '22

19 Jun '22

Using NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-390.151.run for an older GTX 570 to create the NVidia modules worked up to now with Suse Tumbleweed. Updated today to 5.18.1-1-default #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC and this stopped working. No X11, no graphical system. :-( It seems to be a NVidia issue,see here for the problems on ARCH: https://github.com/NVIDIA/open-gpu-kernel-modules/issues/256 Is there some good description for going back to nouveau driver for Suse Tumbleweed? Thanks in advance Pete

update patch fails
by Marc Chamberlin 19 Jun '22

19 Jun '22

I have an openSuSE 15.3 x64 system which received a few updates and one of them - *patch:openSUSE-2022-124-1.noarch***has a dependencies problem that I don't know how to resolve. nothing provides 'libstdc++.so.6(GLIBCXX_3.4.29)(64bit)' needed by the to be installed libre2-9-20220401-bp153.5.12.1.x86_64 The version of libstdc++ installed on my system is 10.3.0+git1587 The actions Yast2 updater wants to take, to resolve this issue, is to delete a whole lot of important packages, or not install the patch, or to break a whole lot of packages. None of these seem like a good idea, so what is this poor user to do? Thanks as always in advance for some kind guru answering my question!

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

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."
