Mesa in packman repos
by Stakanov 31 Jan '23

31 Jan '23

Stupid question of today: why is there a MESA version in the packman repos if opensuse provides one too? To be clear I am talking about the Tumbleweed repos. I recall some graphic card reason, but it is a recall that comes remotely and long time ago. So since this recently caused me some trouble because of shifting repo here and there I wanted to understand. Someone can maybe educate me on this. I do not think that patent rights can be an issue here. Thank you in advance.

MS Teams
by Roger Oberholtzer 30 Jan '23

I know that Teams for Linux is EOL and is now a web app. (Sigh.) But after a recent Tumbleweed upgrade, Teams is no linger working. I have tried the suggestions here: https://en.opensuse.org/Microsoft_Teams, which worked in the past. But no success. Anyone running Teams on an up-to-date Tumbleweed? -- Roger Oberholtzer

Hi, that's the answer. I took out the Nvidia packages described and rebooted, and now things work again. lspci -k | grep -EA3 'VGA|3D|Display' shows that nouveau is once again the video driver. I'm not sure why those Nvidia packages were installed while doing an update, but now that they are gone everything is back to normal. I tend to two computers that had the same issue after updating, this remedy fixed them both.

I wanted to see what cpu a box had in it this a.m. and am distressed to discover the nice hardware profile we used to have (in YaST) is gone. What are we supposed to do now to find out what hardware is in a box? Thanks for direction....

Video Borked

Hi, I'm running Tumbleweed on my desktop computer, and after I did an update I've lost ability to boot up to graphics mode. The computer boots to a text prompt mark@localhost:~> only. It won't boot to graphics if I wait, nor will it go to graphics if I input startx. It will boot to graphics if I switch to root (su), then input startx, but it only goes to a black screen with a cursor arrow visible that I can move with the mouse, and never boots to full graphics. If I try to boot the current kernel (6.1.8.1) in recovery mode it won't boot to graphics. If I boot the previous kernel it will only boot to the user@localhost prompt. If I boot the previous kernel (6.1.7.1) in recovery mode it will boot to graphics desktop, but I think that it might be using a driver such as vesa because the rendering is not sharp nor in the right adjustment to the size of the screen. If I type lspci -k | grep -EA3 'VGA|3D|Display' in konsole I get the output 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation G92 [GeForce 9800 GT] (rev a2) Subsystem: PNY Device 0719 Kernel modules: nouveau, nvidia_drm, nvidia 03:00.0 IDE interface: JMicron Technology Corp. JMB368 IDE controller Comparing that output to the output I get on another computer that booted normally, also running Tumbleweed, I got: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation G92 [GeForce 9800 GT] (rev a2) Subsystem: PNY Device 0719 Kernel Driver: Nouveau Kernel modules: noveau, nvidia_drm, nvidia From what little I understand about this, I gather that opensuse is supposed to autoload nouveau during boot because something went wrong during a routine update. It seems that isn't happening, but maybe my understanding is incorrect. In any event, I need help to fix this. Thanks, Mark

[oS-en] Black firefox.
by Carlos E. R. 28 Jan '23

28 Jan '23

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, It happened to me 3 or 4 times. Suddenly, when I switch to Firefox, the window is black. All firefox windows of the same profile (another profile that was running stays unaffected), in all the workspaces. I could go and close windows one by one, but on restart it would be impossible to restart all of them. I have to close all of them at one go so that restore previous sesion works. So the only thing to do is "killall firefox". And not always works. I did: cer@Telcontar:~> kill 6793 cer@Telcontar:~> kill 6793 bash: kill: (6793) - No such process <=== the parent process of all of them - no dice cer@Telcontar:~> killall firefox cer@Telcontar:~> killall firefox firefox: no process found cer@Telcontar:~> killall firefox firefox: no process found <=== but I could see it was still running. cer@Telcontar:~> killall firefox firefox: no process found cer@Telcontar:~> killall /usr/lib64/firefox/firefox cer@Telcontar:~> killall /usr/lib64/firefox/firefox /usr/lib64/firefox/firefox: no process found <=== now it worked. cer@Telcontar:~> Of course, this also killed my other running profile (or instance, if you will). Is there a better way? Maybe a kill command that automatically finds and kill all siblings at a single go? Anybody has seen this problem? - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.

[oS-EN] Rebellious mouse
by Carlos E. R. 26 Jan '23

26 Jan '23

Hi, At this secondary location I have a rebellious mouse. It is a Logitech M90. A simple thing, a red LED pointing to the table and some sensor that decodes movement directly. No ball. With cable. It doesn't work well on the table (smooth white PVC), so I put it on a paper. One of those with millilitre lines for science graphs. Well, sometimes it moves and then stops, like if the ghost ball would be dirty and not moving well the ancient wheels inside, stuck. So I bang the mouse against the table as if to dislodge the dirt (there is none) from the non existing ball and wheels, and the funny thing is, it works again. What could be really be causing this? Leap 15.4, XFCE. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from Elesar, using openSUSE Leap 15.4)
