Trying to install Leap 15.4

Hi, I am trying to install Leap 15.4. But during the installation of packages, I get messages like these: YaST2 Installation of package ca-certificates failed. Details: Subprocess failed. Error: RPM failed: Command exited with status 1. History: - error: failed to exec scriptlet interpreter /bin/sh: Permission denied error: %prein(ca-certificates-2+git20210309.21162a6-2.1.noarch) scriptlet failed, exit status 127 error: ca-certificates-2+git20210309.21162a6-2.1.noarch: install failed YaST2 Installation of package python3-six failed. Details: Subprocess failed. Error: RPM failed: Command exited with status 1. History: - error: failed to exec scriptlet interpreter /bin/sh: Permission denied error: %prein(python3-six-1.14.0-12.1.noarch) scriptlet failed, exit status 127 error: python3-six-1.14.0-12.1.noarch: install failed I click 'Ignore' every time, and then this message appears: YaST2 Warning Ignoring a package failure may result in a broken system. The system should be later verified by running the Software Management module. And the list of uninstallable packages goes on and on: python3-pip wireless-tools systemd-presets-common-SUSE sg3_utils netcfg login_defs klogd issue-generator cyrus-sasl systemd-presets-branding-openSUSE iputils ebtables device-mapper shadow kbd alsa-utils lockdev etc. I had the same problem when trying to install 15.3. I did manage to install TW, however. Does anybody have any idea what could be the problem here?

Leap-15.4 vanilla kernel "make install" broken
by Mark Hounschell 10 Jun '22

10 Jun '22

I did an upgrade today using a DVD. I built and run vanilla kernels. All was going well until I did a "make install". What I got was this: harley:/usr/src/linux-5.15.46# make install arch/x86/Makefile:142: CONFIG_X86_X32 enabled but no binutils support sh ./arch/x86/boot/install.sh 5.15.46 \ arch/x86/boot/bzImage System.map "/boot" Cannot find LILO. harley:/usr/src/linux-5.15.46# On 15.3 the kernel install scripts call /sbin/installkernel from the dracut package. That file seems to be missing from 15.4. Is there a reason why? Thanks Mark

How can I change my mail address in bugzilla.
by Peter McD 10 Jun '22

10 Jun '22

Hi, I reported a bug to bugzilla and noticed that my mail address is no longer valid. I could log in, but any mail will not reach me. https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=darktable&list_id=136… The page doesn't have or hides very successfully the location where I could change my email address. "Preferences" point to "Account Information" but wants too much information. Alternatively I could cancel my account and open a new one. But where? Peter

Final zypper dup done for 15.4 - Working Fantastic - It's a keeper.
by David C. Rankin 09 Jun '22

09 Jun '22

All, Final zypper dup done, laptop, with proprietary nvidia drivers, working wonderfully. Hats off to the openSUSE devs. Fluxbox and KDE3 tweaked and configured to perfection. Wonderful dark themes for both, all 10,000 (guess) apps that are normally installed, plus gcc11 working fine. Fresh install to ext4, and I really have no complaints to report (we did have to pull the 15.3 desktop-data-openSUSE-15.0.20171024-lp153.1.53.noarch.rpm To restore menu categories that were stripped out by Gnome (okay, that's a complaint, but there is also a workaround, so nice tidy xdg menu categorization restored) Tbird CPU usage is also a complaint -- but openSUSE has nothing to due with that one, bug filed with Mozilla and confirmed it is fixed in Tbird 102 (so that's a wash too) That's small potatoes "complaints". Desktops in best shape I've ever seen (that's saying a lot considering I've use KDE since long before 3.5.10), Libreoffice, imagemagick, gimp, inkscape (it has made the gtk transition - finally), pdftk, pngquant, etc... all the "tools of creation" working fine. Mariadb and Postgresql up running no issue. Samba makes my $HOME files available on my phone, all is good. Here is to 15.4 going down in the records with 15.0, 42.3, 11.4, 11.0, 10.3, 9.0Pro, 8.0Pro, 7.0Pro (boxed sets) as being releases that are remembered fondly. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

postfix + dovecot + let's encrypt (certbot) - Seamless ssl/tls mail certificate
by David C. Rankin 09 Jun '22

09 Jun '22

All, Probably old news to most who run their own mail servers, but for years I simply used self-signed certs for mail and used Let's Encrypt for my web servers. Turns out it's trivial to use the same certs for both. The key is you need to have both an A and MX record for your mail host and then add that fqdn (Expand) your Let's Encrypt certificate to include the mail host fqdn. While most mail clients would simply allow you to add an exception for your annual change for self-signed certs, leave it to apple to make things difficult and complain. So tired of fighting with IOS, it was time to simply use a legitimate cert. (makes apple instantly happy, not reboots to clear cache or 3 forced mail checks is rapid succession to have it add a new exception) If you are interested, here are three links that tie it altogether. Note that different web-servers will have difference setups/processes for requesting your original or expended cert. (there is a manual method as well) https://serverfault.com/q/999409/332034 https://community.letsencrypt.org/t/how-to-add-mail-server-to-existing-cert… https://community.letsencrypt.org/t/dovecot-certificate/145441/9 Simple solution. The only change to dovecot.conf is to point it to the let's encrypt certs instead of self-signed. Should have taken the time to do this years ago when I did the web server. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Leap 15.4 - task bar buttons NFG
by James Knott 08 Jun '22

08 Jun '22

Previously, when clicking on a taskbar app button, if there were multiple windows open, a list would appear. Now, it cycles through open windows, instead of listing them. How can this be fixed?

I had been running Firefox 95.0.1 with 15.3. Is there similar with 15.4? The installed version is 91.100 and when I run it, it complains about an older version and says to create a new profile. tnx jk

Leap 15.4 - Konsole no icon

In Leap 15.4, there doesn't seem to be an icon for Konsole. I just see a blank area and it's not listed in icons under applications.

Leap vs Tumbleweed a few questions
by Carl Spitzer {L Juno} 08 Jun '22

08 Jun '22

I know I should have done the upgrade long ago but work has been crazy. I have one laptop still 15.2 which apparently needs to upgrade to 15.3 and then to 15.4 . I also have a neighbors old Gateway which is 64 bit which could go the 15.4 route directly or Tumbleweed. What I am wondering with all this complexity should I just switch to Tumbleweed rolling release and skip all the extra work. What is your experience with either??? I know kde3 is going away unless that one guy takes control of it but I find Trinity aka kde 3.5.12 is available for both the 15.x series and Tumbleweed. I just wish Evolution could be repaired to use mbox for the filters I have created. I do not need M$ exchange comparability. CWSIV
