paste.o.o no longer remembers fields, instead uses comic names?
by David C. Rankin 21 Feb '23

21 Feb '23

All, The paste.opensuse.org interface changed and now the fields are no longer remembered between pastes and the "Recents" page does not show my recent pastes, but instead shows pastes beginning 2 months ago (presuming when the new paste backend started). The old paste site would remember your name and last title -- which was very convenient and likely resulted from the old site using normal forms/fields. The old "Recents" page would also reflect my pastes instantly -- mandatory for times I would click off the page and needed to find the paste URL again. A listing of 2+ month old pastes isn't very useful. The new site seems to be some containerized jumbled together ruby-on-rails site. Who do we send these paste oddities too? cc'ing to a.o.o, but who else, if anyone? cc: admin(a)opensuse.org (and Henne -- though I think that is ml only) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

The more I hear about ALP, the less I like the idea, openSUSE should keep leap
by David C. Rankin 20 Feb '23

20 Feb '23

I hope this synopsis appearing in The Register today is wrong about what ALP is: <quote> ... SUSE's next-generation OS, codenamed Advanced Linux Platform or ALP, aims to increase reliability by moving beyond simple snapshots by making the root file system read-only. The only way to install software, including updates, is during a reboot, using a new command, transactional-update ... If you have a cluster of hosts running lots of containers, this should not be too intrusive ... It's less convenient for a non-clustered machine ... </quote> https://www.theregister.com/2023/02/16/bulletproof_linux/ Sounds more like Alf, that furry creature with a long nose that had a citcom that was so annoying you couldn't watch it. Sounds like attempting to install software on ALP will be about the same... How many users on this list are reading this e-mail on a cluster? Apparently, ALP will be a cluster .... -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

networkmanager creates interface "lo" (probably local?)
by Stakanov 19 Feb '23

19 Feb '23

what is the meaning of the "lo" interface that appeared on my networkmanager. I also looked what is about wicked but for some reasons wicked seems gone? Not really understanding, I did not see any update that required to uninstall wicked. Anybody knows what is the use of "lo" and what is going on?

Tumbleweed: can't log into display server
by Martin /Nightowl/ Byttebier 19 Feb '23

19 Feb '23

Hello, System OpenSUSE Tumbleweed x86_64 latest version NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti using the latest driver installed the hard way. After a hard crash of the system I can't log into the graphical server anymore. I don't know if this is relevant but after the crash I loged into W10 to restore the NTFS partition (shared use with Tumbleweed) and I did W10 updates and a bios update. I then try to reboot into Tumbleweed but I ended up with a prompt. startx returns me xauth: file /root/.serverauth.2222 dos not exist xauth: (argv):1: bad dispaly name "dell-desk:0" in list command xauth: (stdin):1: bad display name "dell-deskt:0" in "add" command ... .. (EE)VGA Arbitration: Cannot restore default device. (EE) Server terminated with error (1) ... xinit: giving up xinit unable to connect to x server: connection refused xinit: server error Xorg.0.log file can be found here. https://paste.opensuse.org/pastes/faf392c33771 Any idea how to fix this?

yast roundcube 1.5.3 | should I do a manual composer update?
by Admin Beckspaced 19 Feb '23

19 Feb '23

Hello there, i'm running opensuse leap 15.4 recently installed roundcube 1.5.3 (LTS) via Yast. out of curiosity I did a composer update --dry-run in the roundcubemail install directory composer showed me quite some available updates. see below Should I do the composer update? Or should I just leave things like it is? And wait for opensuse to push a new roundcube rpm update if necessary? I'm worried that running the composer update will break things with roundcube? On the other side I see quite a lot of available updates? What's the best approach? thanks & greetings Ralf cx20:/srv/www/roundcubemail # sudo -u wwwrun composer update --dry-run Loading composer repositories with package information Info from https://repo.packagist.org: #StandWithUkraine Updating dependencies Lock file operations: 0 installs, 17 updates, 5 removals - Removing paragonie/random_compat (v2.0.21) - Removing phpdocumentor/reflection-common (1.0.1) - Removing phpdocumentor/type-resolver (0.3.0) - Removing symfony/polyfill-php70 (v1.19.0) - Removing webmozart/assert (1.9.1) - Upgrading doctrine/instantiator (1.0.5 => 1.5.0) - Upgrading guzzlehttp/promises (1.5.1 => 1.5.2) - Upgrading masterminds/html5 (2.7.5 => 2.7.6) - Upgrading pear/net_ldap2 (v2.2.0 => v2.2.1) - Upgrading pear/net_sieve (1.4.5 => 1.4.6) - Upgrading pear/net_smtp (1.10.0 => 1.10.1) - Downgrading phpdocumentor/reflection-docblock (3.2.2 => 2.0.5) - Downgrading phpspec/prophecy (v1.10.3 => v1.5.0) - Downgrading phpunit/php-timer (1.0.9 => 1.0.8) - Upgrading ralouphie/getallheaders (2.0.5 => 3.0.3) - Downgrading sebastian/diff (1.4.3 => 1.4.1) - Downgrading sebastian/environment (1.3.8 => 1.3.7) - Upgrading symfony/polyfill-ctype (v1.19.0 => v1.27.0) - Upgrading symfony/polyfill-intl-idn (v1.19.0 => v1.27.0) - Upgrading symfony/polyfill-intl-normalizer (v1.19.0 => v1.27.0) - Upgrading symfony/polyfill-php72 (v1.19.0 => v1.27.0) - Upgrading symfony/yaml (v2.8.52 => v3.4.47) Installing dependencies from lock file (including require-dev) Package operations: 19 installs, 9 updates, 2 removals - Removing symfony/polyfill-php70 (v1.19.0) - Removing paragonie/random_compat (v2.0.21) - Upgrading symfony/polyfill-php72 (v1.19.0 => v1.27.0) - Upgrading symfony/polyfill-intl-normalizer (v1.19.0 => v1.27.0) - Upgrading symfony/polyfill-intl-idn (v1.19.0 => v1.27.0) - Upgrading ralouphie/getallheaders (2.0.5 => 3.0.3) - Upgrading guzzlehttp/promises (1.5.1 => 1.5.2) - Upgrading pear/net_ldap2 (v2.2.0 => v2.2.1) - Installing symfony/polyfill-ctype (v1.27.0) - Upgrading masterminds/html5 (2.7.5 => 2.7.6) - Upgrading pear/net_sieve (1.4.5 => 1.4.6) - Upgrading pear/net_smtp (1.10.0 => 1.10.1) - Installing phpdocumentor/reflection-docblock (2.0.5) - Installing phpunit/php-token-stream (1.4.12) - Installing symfony/yaml (v3.4.47) - Installing sebastian/version (1.0.6) - Installing sebastian/global-state (1.1.1) - Installing sebastian/recursion-context (1.0.5) - Installing sebastian/exporter (1.2.2) - Installing sebastian/environment (1.3.7) - Installing sebastian/diff (1.4.1) - Installing sebastian/comparator (1.2.4) - Installing phpunit/php-text-template (1.2.1) - Installing doctrine/instantiator (1.5.0) - Installing phpunit/phpunit-mock-objects (2.3.8) - Installing phpunit/php-timer (1.0.8) - Installing phpunit/php-file-iterator (1.4.5) - Installing phpunit/php-code-coverage (2.2.4) - Installing phpspec/prophecy (v1.5.0) - Installing phpunit/phpunit (4.8.36) Package phpunit/php-token-stream is abandoned, you should avoid using it.

RAM requirements Podman/containers versus KVM
by Bill Merriam 18 Feb '23

18 Feb '23

Long ago I started running VM's with XEN. At that time each VM (I think) used its own copy of the kernel and related resources. I could only run a few VM's before I ran out of RAM. Because of that I ran lots of services in the same VM. Enter KVM, then my VM's shared a kernel and my RAM requirements fell. Now I run only one major service (DNS, database, etc) in each VM. Now along comes Podman and containers. If I move to running each service in its only container what does that do to my RAM (and CPU) requirements. How many copies of the kernel and its resource will I be running? I think maybe I can use the host's kernel in a container or use a different one. I am less concerned about disk space usage, but can I share some part of the root file system between containers? Can someone tell me where to find a discussion of this?? Thanks. Bill

use of locate/mlocate
by joe a 17 Feb '23

17 Feb '23

Today I (re)discovered "locate", which was not installed by default apparently. Nice tool. Looking for some directories that, I am given to believe begin with "@" sign. Not sure I took the correct meaning from their missive, but, if it is so, how to "escape" the @ sign to be seen/located?

offlineimap?
by joe a 16 Feb '23

16 Feb '23

Had been using offlineimap to automate feeding/teaching BAYES for spasmsassin. Seems to have "gone missing". Trying to reinstall, from tarball. Seems to have worked, but, it did not install as the author claimed by invoking "zypper in offlineimap" Told me myserver:~ # zypper in offlineimap Loading repository data... Reading installed packages... 'offlineimap' not found in package names. Trying capabilities. No provider of 'offlineimap' found. Resolving package dependencies... Nothing to do. So I compiled and ran it resulting in from offlineimap import imaputil, imaplibutil, OfflineImapError File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/offlineimap/imaplibutil.py", line 22, in <module> import rfc6555 ImportError: No module named rfc6555 Anyone using it and have enlightenment?

Well, I was able to get my build-service project restored. What a pain in the .... When I clicked to create a new home project it gave me the option to restore the old project with that same name. Thank god it worked. However, this whole unnecessary rigamaroll means I wasted the time I had to look at s-nail tonight, so it will have to wait until I have time tomorrow or the next day... Stop messing with build-service accounts, chasing down what happened and working to restore deleted accounts just drains focus and effort away from actual work that could be done to benefit openSUSE, instead of energy spent fixing and admin screw-up... -- David C.
