Tumbleweed Doesn't Always Shut Down
by Mark Misulich 27 Oct '23

27 Oct '23

Hi, I've had a problem with my desktop computer for some months, in that it doesn't always shut down completely with opensuse. That is, it's an intermittent problem. The computer is set up as a multiboot, and does always shut down when I shut down Windows. Here are the specs for opensuse and the computer. I'm running: opensuse Tumbleweed 20230819 KDE Plasma Version 5.27.7 KDE Frameworks Version 5.109.0 Qt Version 5.15.10 Kernel Version 6.4.11-1-default (64-bit) Graphics Platform X11 Hardware Processors 8 x Intel Core i7-7700 CPU @ 3.60GHz Memory 62.7 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor Nvidia GeForce GT 1030/PCIe/SSE2 Manufacturer Gigabyte Technology Co. Ltd. Product Name B250M-DS3H I tried to run this by the forum to get some answers, and you can see that they haven't been able to figure it out. Here's the hyperlink to the thread: https://forums.opensuse.org/t/tumbleweed-wont-shut-down/166098/31 I would appreciate the list's help to try and resolve this issue. Thanks, Mark

Bug report: Unable to install patch openSUSE-2023-320
by Aaron Digulla 26 Oct '23

26 Oct '23

Hello, I tried to to create a bug in Bugzilla but I can't because Bugzilla says "There is already an account with the login name digulla(a)hepe.com". I see no links or help how to contact the site admins to fix this, so I have to post the bug here. Can someone please create a bug report or let me know how to fix my account issues on Bugzilla? -------------- Bug: Unable to install patch openSUSE-2023-320 `zypper list-patches` reports the patch openSUSE-2023-320 "Recommended update for xfce4-notifyd". When I try to install it, it fails with: Problem: das zu installierende xfce4-notifyd-0.9.2-bp155.2.3.1.x86_64 erfordert 'xfce4-notifyd-branding = 0.9.2-bp155.2.3.1', aber diese Anforderung kann nicht bereitgestellt werden Nicht installierbare Anbieter: xfce4-notifyd-branding-upstream-0.9.2-bp155.2.3.1.noarch[repo-backports-update] Lösung 1: Deinstallation von xfce4-notifyd-0.8.2-bp155.1.5.x86_64 Lösung 2: Deinstallation von xfce4-notifyd-branding-openSUSE-4.18.0+git0.9a2f754-lp155.2.4.1.noarch Lösung 3: patch:openSUSE-2023-320-1.noarch nicht installieren Lösung 4: xfce4-notifyd-0.9.2-bp155.2.3.1.x86_64 durch Ignorieren einiger Abhängigkeiten brechen Translation: It can't install the patch because the mandatory dependency xfce4-notifyd-branding = 0.9.2-bp155.2.3.1 is missing.

Securely formatting BTRFS
by Simon Heimbach 26 Oct '23

Hi everybody, does anyone know how to securely format a btrfs-partition[1]? I have an unused SSD with a former root partition that I have to return and I want to make sure that all data is erased before giving it back. Thank you in advance! Simon [1] Without physically destroying the SSD obviously

[oS-EN] Would there be a program that...
by Carlos E. R. 26 Oct '23

26 Oct '23

Hi Would there be a program that seeks anywhere inside a partition, trying to find a file that is identical to a given one (or a list or a pattern), and hard link them? They have to be verified identical files content wise, irrelevant of names and other attributes. The link would have the name and attribute of the replaced file. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

Weird behaviour dolphin (tumbleweed)
by Martin /Nightowl/ Byttebier 25 Oct '23

25 Oct '23

Hello, Operating System: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20231022 KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.8 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.111.0 Qt Version: 5.15.11 Kernel Version: 6.5.8-1-default (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11 Processors: 16 × 11th Gen Intel® Core™ i7-11700 @ 2.50GHz Memory: 15.3 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: NV174 Problem: I still using an old Atari dtp-program called Calamus for a montly magazine. It runs just fine under wine. I'm not quite sure but I believe when I save my work the program renames a previous version of the doc as whatever.bak and then save the current work under whatever.cdk Until recently dolphin displayed both whatever.cdk and whatever.bak. But now I noticed whatever.bak became invisible. It's marked as backup file. I wonder if this is a normal behaviour? Under Leap 15.4 and 15.5 this doesn't happen. Both files remains visible. Thanks, Martin -- Atari FTP-site: ftp://kurobox.serveftp.net:3021 Running openSUSE Tumbleweed / KDE 5.27.8

Hi, I have tried to mail to the list owner, but it seems that is not read by anyone in a timely manner. Currently the mailing list mailserver has a misconfiguration with the dns settings and as a result my mailserver is rejecting the mails from the list The issue is there is no host mx1.infra.opensuse.org 2023-10-23T15:03:10.411301+02:00 forest postfix/smtpd[29482]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from mx1.opensuse.org[195.135.221.175]: 450 4.7.1 <mx1.infra.opensuse.org>: Helo command rejected: Host not found; from=<SRS0=HSS3=GD=lists.opensuse.org=users-bounces(a)opensuse.org> to=<toganm(a)dinamizm.com> proto=ESMTP helo=<mx1.infra.opensuse.org> So someone with admin capabilities on the opensuse.org should better fix this Thanks Togan

OS disk cloning
by Roger Oberholtzer 23 Oct '23

23 Oct '23

If, as part of a disaster recovery system, you wanted to make a copy of your openSUSE OS disk, what are the best programs to use? I guess as part of this there is the discussion of what might need to be changed if the image is on another disk (/etc/fstab) for example). How about rescuezilla? -- Roger Oberholtzer

Backup files deleted by: "Repository 'repo-oss (15.5)' is managed by service"
by Per Inge Oestmoen 22 Oct '23

22 Oct '23

Hello! Yesterday I installed and configured a new machine. This time I chose openSUSE 15.5, which may have been a not so wise choice. - Let us see. - Normally, the first thing I do before applying any update from the repositories is to configure the system so that the downloaded packages are kept, in /var/cache/zypp/packages. From there, I can copy and download them for future installations with no need for a connectivity. This is my normal procedure. However, after having configured the repositories the way I have always done, I got the message for each and everyone of them: "Repository X is managed by service 'Y' Your manual changes might be reset by the next service refresh!" Upon looking into /var/cache/zypp/packages it turned out that there was nothing there - the system had not kept my downloads. I have never asked a "service" to manage the repositories and reset my chosen changes! Why does this suddenly happen? What do I have to do in order to delete these infamous "services" once and for all so that they do not reset my changes - something I absolutely do not want. See the messages below. Thank you for your help! ---- Repository 'repo-oss (15.5)' is managed by service 'openSUSE'. Your manual changes might be reset by the next service refresh! Repository 'repo-non-free (15.5)' is managed by service 'NVIDIA'. Your manual changes might be reset by the next service refresh! Repository 'update-non-oss (15.5)' is managed by service 'openSUSE'.

Sound under Tumbletweed
by Wolfgang Mueller 21 Oct '23

21 Oct '23

On Monday last week, I have installed Tumbletweed with KDE Plasma. In the first two days, the sound worked fine, but then it stopped working and a red diagonal stroke appeared across the speaker icon on the panel. When I click on it, a window pops up, entitled "Audio volume" and saying: "No output or input devices found", but not giving me any chance of specifying such a device. Since under Tumbletweed, Yast does not contain any possibility of sound configuration, I don't know what to do for making the two sound cards, or at least one of them, work. Any help is welcome. Thank you in advance and best regards, Wolfgang.

glibc version in Leap 15.1
by Roger Oberholtzer 15 Oct '23

15 Oct '23

Leap 15.5 uses glibc 2.31. I have a binary SDK from a LiDAR sensor supplier that seems to have been linked with glibc 2.34. So when I try to link with it on a Leap 15.5 system, I get: ./libscanifc-mt.so: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.34' not found (required by ./libscanifc-mt.so) ./libscanifc-mt.so: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.32' not found (required by ./libscanifc-mt.so) I am trying to see if the supplier has a version of their SDK linked with an older glibc. I hope one that is not older (in their SDK versions) than the one I have for 2.34 (which they claim is built with gcc 11). That one works fine on Tumbleweed. So I caught this when trying to do a build of our software for a different target platform (Leap 15.5). While I wait for that info, I am exploring my options. I know that glibc is a fragile and key component, so mucking about with it is generally to be avoided. Having said that, is it possible to update glibc on Leap 15.5? If so, how obtrusive is that update? As it should provide the earlier glibc interfaces as well, maybe it is rather self-contained? Just the glibc needs to be updated? These glibc things are installed in the Leap 15.5 system: glibc-locale-base-2.31-150300.58.1.x86_64 glibc-locale-2.31-150300.58.1.x86_64 linux-glibc-devel-5.14-150500.12.3.2.x86_64 glibc-2.31-150300.58.1.x86_64 glibc-devel-2.31-150300.58.1.x86_64 -- Roger Oberholtzer

Leap 15.5 network not fully functional
by Damon Register 14 Oct '23

14 Oct '23

I just installed Leap 15.5 on my home server computer. The install seemed to go ok and the system is up and running, sort of. online updates hang and then finally timeout. Yast package manager won't load. Firefox cannot navigate to opensuse.org but I am able to surf elsewhere and even play a Youtube video. On my Windows PC I am able to navigate to opensuse.org which is how I downloaded the installation media but for reason I don't understand the Leap 15.5 PC just doesn't like opensuse. Any idea why only opensuse is a problem with this PC? I have a bad feeling like that guy from from the movie "Airplane" that my timing is bad. I remember talk about possible demise of Leap but I don't know if that has anything to do with my problem. Damon Register

Re: LibreOffice
by Chuck Davis 14 Oct '23

14 Oct '23

I know Suse is a big supporter of LibreOffice. As soon as I switched to Wayland LibreOffice menu item for "window" quit working properly. For several months now I have been struggling to use it with more than one document/spreadsheet open but it's quite annoying. Having separate windows that can be placed on different virtual desktops is nice but it would be nicer if the windowing menu worked. Does anyone from Suse on this list know if there is a plan to make windowing work properly on Wayland in the near future?? Thanks for any info.

curl / libcurl updates?
by David C. Rankin 13 Oct '23

13 Oct '23

Devs, all, With the CVE reports on fire about curl / libcurl, when should we be looking for updates? Even the maintainer is mum about the exact versions subject to the exploit for fear of identifying the broken component, so it must be pretty bad... Just checking. And for those not aware, if you have applications using curl / libcurl, (just about all net connected apps do), update quickly when available. Upstream fix available now. -- David C.

Dual boot TW/Win11
by Wolfgang Rosenauer 13 Oct '23

13 Oct '23

Hi, every once in a while I have boot issues with my dual boot laptop where Windows 11 and Tumbleweed are installed. Just today I booted Windows (which does not happen very often but sometimes I need to) and had to install a bunch of updates. Now I cannot boot to TW anymore. So something must have destroyed the boot. When I open the BIOS during boot I still have the entry opensuse-secureboot available but selecting it just brings me back to the same selection so apparently something is broken there. What is the correct way to recover that and can I avoid this somehow? Thanks, Wolfgang

How to use Python 3.11 in Leap 15.5

In the article https://news.opensuse.org/2023/06/06/leap-modern-python-stack/ support for Python 3.11 is announced for Leap 15.5. However I can't find how to enable this support. Where is the repository with the packages for this version? The current python3.11 packages in the standard repository are not sufficient for my use case. -- fr.gr. member openSUSE Freek de Kruijf

No sound output through HDMI
by Bob Williams 11 Oct '23

11 Oct '23

I have laptop running Leap 15.5, which I occasionally connect to my Samsung smart TV and Samsung Soundbar. The video works fine, with the desktop being mirrored on the TV screen. But sound only comes out of the laptop speakers. The TV has its own speakers, or it can use the Soundbar. Likewise, the laptop can link directly to the soundbar via bluetooth. But whichever combination I try, I cannot get sound out of either the TV speakers or the Soundbar. It has worked OK in the past, so I know it is possible. My impression is that the problem is in some configuration within the laptop which should redirect sound from the internal speakers to the HDMI output. Any suggestions, please?

Hi, just curious if there are any spacemacs users with or without working spacemacs with latest GNU Emacs which now has native compiled lisp file support. For those which had managed a working spacemacs setup I'd like to see some hints or cook books how to setup a spacemacs with native compiled lisp support.

Dual boot TW/Win11
by Wolfgang Rosenauer 08 Oct '23

08 Oct '23

Hi, every once in a while I have boot issues with my dual boot laptop where Windows 11 and Tumbleweed are installed. Just today I booted Windows (which does not happen very often but sometimes I need to) and had to install a bunch of updates. Now I cannot boot to TW anymore. So something must have destroyed the boot. When I open the BIOS during boot I still have the entry opensuse-secureboot available but selecting it just brings me back to the same selection so apparently something is broken there. What is the correct way to recover that and can I avoid this somehow? Thanks, Wolfgang

Hi List, I just DUPed my Tumbleweed to 20231001, which obvioiusly force-switched me from mlocate to plocate. Unfortunately, not a clean switch, as after reboot locate fails with /var/lib/plocate/plocate.db: No such file or directory Investigating further shows woodstock:~ # systemctl status plocate-updatedb.service ○ plocate-updatedb.service - Update the locate database Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/plocate-updatedb.service; static) Active: inactive (dead) Docs: man:updatedb woodstock:~ # systemctl status plocate-updatedb.timer ○ plocate-updatedb.timer - Daily locate database update Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/plocate-updatedb.timer; disabled; preset: disabled) Active: inactive (dead) Trigger: n/a Triggers: ● plocate-updatedb.service Docs: man:updatedb Not too nice to replace a working setup with a disabled one :(
