Leap 15.4 - GDM won't start
by Linux Kamarada 27 Sep '22

27 Sep '22

Hi, everyone! I upgraded from Leap 15.3 to Leap 15.4 yesterday (actually, from Linux Kamarada 15.3, which is Leap-based, to Leap 15.4) following the same upgrade procedure I'm used to years now: https://linuxkamarada.com/en/2021/12/23/linux-kamarada-and-opensuse-leap-ho… (of course, I replaced 15.3 by 15.4, for it to work) https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:System_upgrade Now I'm not able to log in to the graphical interface as usual. Plymouth stops spinning, GDM should appear next, but it doesn't. The only thing I'm able to do is switch to the first terminal (Ctrl + Alt + F1) and reboot using Ctrl + Alt + Del. I'm not even able to log in to the terminal, if I don't change the kernel. Back to GRUB, if I enter the advanced options and select the recovery mode of the 5.14.21-150400.22-default kernel (the one from the Main repo, not the Update repo), at least I'm able to switch to the first terminal (Ctrl + Alt + F1), log in to the terminal and do: $ startx Then I have a fully functional GNOME desktop. Inspecting /var/log/messages, I found the following that caught my attention, I'm not sure it is related to the problem: 2022-08-18T00:53:01.675443-03:00 kamarada-pc /usr/lib/gdm/gdm-x-session[4082]: #011(WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown. 2022-08-18T00:53:01.794755-03:00 kamarada-pc /usr/lib/gdm/gdm-x-session[4153]: > Internal error: Could not resolve keysym XF86WWAN 2022-08-18T00:53:01.794810-03:00 kamarada-pc /usr/lib/gdm/gdm-x-session[4153]: > Internal error: Could not resolve keysym XF86RFKill 2022-08-18T00:53:01.837606-03:00 kamarada-pc /usr/lib/gdm/gdm-x-session[4183]: > Internal error: Could not resolve keysym XF86WWAN 2022-08-18T00:53:01.837667-03:00 kamarada-pc /usr/lib/gdm/gdm-x-session[4183]: > Internal error: Could not resolve keysym XF86RFKill 2022-08-18T00:53:02.122276-03:00 kamarada-pc gnome-session[4211]: gnome-session-binary[4211]: GLib-GIO-CRITICAL: g_bus_get_sync: assertion 'error == NULL || *error == NULL' failed 2022-08-18T00:53:02.122366-03:00 kamarada-pc gnome-session[4211]: gnome-session-binary[4211]: GLib-GIO-CRITICAL: g_bus_get_sync: assertion 'error == NULL || *error == NULL' failed 2022-08-18T00:53:02.122442-03:00 kamarada-pc gnome-session-binary[4211]: GLib-GIO-CRITICAL: g_bus_get_sync: assertion 'error == NULL || *error == NULL' failed 2022-08-18T00:53:02.122491-03:00 kamarada-pc gnome-session-binary[4211]: GLib-GIO-CRITICAL: g_bus_get_sync: assertion 'error == NULL || *error == NULL' failed Does anyone have any idea on what's going on and/or how it can be solved?

MicroOS Webserver + Mail Server
by Mark Petersen 25 Sep '22

25 Sep '22

I'm currently running a Nextcloud instance on a VPS using OpenSUSE Leap 15.3. I will need to update the operating system before the end of November. I was planning to create a new instance of Leap 15.4 at my provider to get a fresh start, and then transfer data and then DNS. I'm intrigued with MicroOS's read- only file system and atomic updates. I'm wondering what the best strategy is for running the services on MicroOS. On my server I'm running the following services: nginx php-fpm postgresql redis rspamd postfix dovecot I'm thinking that I would run postfix and postgresql directly on the MicoOS system and the remainder as docker or podman containers. Does anyone have any experience/thoughts on this? Thanks Mark

15.4 - Backup Your Thunderbird Mail Store before Update to 102 -- you cannot go back if you don't.
by David C. Rankin 23 Sep '22

23 Sep '22

All, Just saw on announce that Tbird will update to 102. I did testing a couple of months ago with it for a heavy CPU use issue in the 91 version -- it is fixed in 102. However, the install of 102 will modify your ~/.thunderbird profile in place and it is a one-way modification without any way to undo it if you need to go back for any reason. Make a quick tar.xz backup of your existing ~/.thunderbird directory before you do the upgrade just to be on the safe side. I liked 102, so I don't expect issues, but when anything modifies a profile in place -- it's always good to have a backup. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Mouse freezes randomly but often
by Daniel Bauer 21 Sep '22

21 Sep '22

Hello, since today I have a big problem with my mouse. It freezes randomly. As much as I can see, only the mouse freezes (I can use the keyboard, the gkrellm window shows activities, the radio keeps running). It starts with stagnant movement of the mouse, then it freezes completely for several seconds and then the cursor jumps to where I move it last. Then it works normal for a while, but soon starts again. I have the problem since today (yesterday I run the updates). I had the same problem like a month ago, but then it went away "magically" after I changed the mouse-receiver to another usb-plug, but this time it doesn't help... Of course I changed the battery of the mouse, I also changed to another mouse (of the same model), plugged the wireless receiver to several different usb-plugs at the computer... reboot only helps for a short while. They are logitech wireless mouses. inxi -SMGxx System: Host: venus Kernel: 5.3.18-150300.59.93-preempt x86_64 bits: 64 compiler: gcc v: 7.5.0 Desktop: KDE Plasma 5.18.6 tk: Qt 5.12.7 wm: kwin_x11 dm: SDDM Distro: openSUSE Leap 15.3 Machine: Type: Desktop System: Gigabyte product: Z590 AORUS PRO AX v: -CF serial: <superuser/root required> Mobo: Gigabyte model: Z590 AORUS PRO AX serial: <superuser/root required> BIOS: American Megatrends LLC. v: F9a date: 01/24/2022 Graphics: Device-1: NVIDIA GA104 [GeForce RTX 3070 Ti] vendor: Micro-Star MSI driver: nvidia v: 470.141.03 bus ID: 01:00.0 chip ID: 10de:2482 Display: x11 server: X.Org 1.20.3 compositor: kwin_x11 driver: nvidia unloaded: fbdev,modesetting,nouveau,vesa alternate: nv resolution: 1920x1200~60Hz s-dpi: 93 OpenGL: renderer: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti/PCIe/SSE2 v: 4.6.0 NVIDIA 470.141.03 direct render: Yes I looked at /var/log/messages, but I cant figure out what could hint to mouse problems (due to my lack of knowledge of what to look for).

The update-alternatives are very useful and I use them a lot for gcc, java, etc. As you probably know, many of them are automatically registered with update-alternatives when they are installed.

python executable name
by Roger Oberholtzer 20 Sep '22

20 Sep '22

I see that on a newly installed Tumbleweed, only Python 3.10 is installed. No problem with that. However, there is no executable called 'python'. Only 'python3' and 'python3.10'. Is this a general thing? That perhaps 'python' always references Python 2? Would something break if I made a 'python' link to 'python3'? Obviously, the code called would need to expect it. And I can make sure that's the case for our code. But generally in Tumbleweed/Leap would this confuse something? -- Roger Oberholtzer

I Think that python2 and python3 should be considered completely different. In fact, some software (e.g. opencv up to 3.4.17) creates python2 and python3 modules simultaneously at build time. Therefore, I believe that update-alternetinves for python and python3 should be created separately. In Tumbleweed, it is no longer necessary to use update-alternatives, though. --- ┏━━┓彡野宮賢 mail-to: nomiya @ galaxy.dti.ne.jp ┃＼／彡 ┗━━┛ "She continues to deeply divide opinion, nearly a decade after her death in 2013, due to her policies of privatisation, breaking the power of trade unions, and selling off public housing." -- World Is One News --
