Tale of two upgrades - Leap 15.5 KDE
by James Knott 15 Dec '23

15 Dec '23

I upgraded two systems from 15.4 to 15.5, my main desktop system and my ThinkPad. My desktop has the new desktop, but the ThinkPad has the same desktop as 15.4. Any idea how this would happen? Is it possible to move my desktop computer back to the 15.4 desktop, which I prefer? tnx jk

BTC/ETH wallet for Opensuse?
by Daniel Bauer 15 Dec '23

15 Dec '23

Hi, I have a very little bit of BTC and ETH in an online crypto place, that now informed me that it will start to charge me for storing my cryptos. So, I want to transfer it to my own computer. I know there is the original bitcoin wallet, but that cannot handle ETH. So I am looking for a free, if possible open-source, wallet that does not depend on some online company and that can handle both currencies (or, in the worst case, a wallet for ETH only, and handle bitcoin in its original wallet). I don't need any sophisticated market tools. I need to be able to receive and send cryptos, and maybe one day exchange them to real money. Any hints? Thanks, and have a nice evening.

Polkit fails to start
by Martin /Nightowl/ Byttebier 12 Dec '23

Hello, After I did an update of my tumbleweed pc yesterday the pc refused to restart. I couldn't even go to console to execute the shutdown restart command. The only way was to hit the powerbuttom. Below a part of the log which I think it's relevant.

openSuse 15.5 KDE & Virtualbox Windows 10 can't log in
by James Knott 11 Dec '23

11 Dec '23

I have a Windows 10 VM (previously Windows 7), which has run well in the past several versions of openSuse. However now, when I try to run it, it opens to the point where I have to hit enter to get the password box, but as soon as I do that, the screen briefly shows the login screen and then reverts back to where it was. Also, I don't see Virtual Box on the taskbar. Any ideas? tnx jk

Copy and Paste does not work while installing programs
by Per Inge Oestmoen 11 Dec '23

11 Dec '23

Hello all! I have four machines here, all with openSUSE Leap 15.4. With three of them there are no particular problems, but with the one I am using now there is a consistent, reproducible error: When I am installing a number of programs, I normally copy my password when installing the first in the row. Then, it is easy to paste in the same password for each successive installation. However, with this machine that is impossible. I copy the password, but after I have exited the dialog box the copied password is erased from memory and I have to type the password each time when doing the subsequent installations. Further; as long as I have the dialog box open the password copied is kept in memory and can be pasted into a document I made to test this, but when I close the dialog box in order to go to Yast2 the password is evidently erased since it then cannot be pasted into the document. It is gone, but on my other machines it is kept in memory and can be pasted into the dialog box. See the attached screen shot; that is where it happens. What configuration error have I inadvertently made, since the password is not kept in memory on this one machine? Sincerely, Per Inge Oestmoen, Norway

mdraid scrubbing collides with iscsi
by Per Jessen 10 Dec '23

10 Dec '23

I have a new storage server running LIO as an iscsi target. Disk space is a RAID6 array, 12 x 2Tb drives under mdraid, managed under LVM. Since we moved to this config, a couple of months back, I have had issues roughly every Monday, continuing on to middle of the week. iscsi volumes are unmounted, or go read-only. It turns out to be the Sunday run of mdcheck "MD array scrubbing". It is supposedly limited to 6 hours, which is fine, but my client systems have died long before that. Every day an mdcheck_continue runs at 0105, to resume the scrubbing. Has anyone else experienced this and if so, what did you do? is there maybe a way of running the scrubbing "in the background", letting iscsi services take priority? As it is, it simply doesn't work. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (0.9°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - your free DNS host, made in Switzerland.

R.I.P. Leap 15.4 - It was a Great One
by David C. Rankin 07 Dec '23

07 Dec '23

All, With Marcus's message on the announce list, support for 15.4 has come to an end (at least the openssl3 fix made it in today). It has been another great openSUSE release. It will join SUSE 7.0, 8.0. 8.2 and 9.0 Pro, 10.0 10.3, openSUSE 11.0, 11.4 and then the Leap(s). Looking forward to 15.5 and 15.6! -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

KDE help from a practical time
by David C. Rankin 07 Dec '23

07 Dec '23

All, To celebrate the list working again, I'll pass along something that brought a smile to my face a bit ago. I was looking at help for kcalc, and I noticed a entry for long-double precision and clicked it: https://paste.opensuse.org/pastes/b1300d1770a4 Remember when user-choice and customization was the touchstone of Linux? Back when the help pages told you about defines to tailor the app to your needs and then a simple: ./configure make make install The good ole days.... :) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
