Wireless mouse pressing scroll wheel doesn't paste
by Jeffrey Taylor 25 Feb '23

25 Feb '23

I think this happened when I updated from Leapt 15.4 to 15.5. I used to be able to click and hold the left button to copy text and press middle button (scroll wheel) to paste. This is on XFCE. I find plenty of pages telling how to disable this and the middle button emulation on 2 button mice but not how to enable on a 3 button mouse. TIA, Jeffrey

SSH connection with publickey no longer works
by Freek de Kruijf 24 Feb '23

24 Feb '23

Hi, I have a Tumbleweed system which makes a backup each night to a Leap 15.4 system, both use aarch64 architecture. I use publickey for authentication, which worked until recently. Both are up-to-date with the latest updates. On the Tumbleweed system I have: # ls -l .ssh/id_* -rw------- 1 root root 1381 21 feb 12:34 .ssh/id_dsa -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 608 21 feb 12:34 .ssh/id_dsa.pub On the Leap 15.4 system I have: rpi4-154:~ # ls -l .ssh/authorized_keys -rw------- 1 root root 2962 feb 21 12:39 .ssh/authorized_keys with the content of id_dsa.pub. The start of the content is: ssh-dss AAAAB3NzaC1kc3MAAACBAIxtorhRWGDeP6L01o83+LgSL9DYcYAXozXtl1cknkfbO To test the way the connection is made I give the command: ssh -v -p xx root@<leap_14.4> Which gives me debug output. After negotiation for the ssh connection the output shows the start of the publickey negotiation, which immediately starts with: debug1: Skipping ssh-dss key /root/.ssh/id_dsa - corresponding algo not in PubkeyAcceptedAlgorithms A few lines further on I have: debug1: kex_input_ext_info: server-sig-algs=<ssh-ed25519,sk-ssh- ed25519@openssh.com,ssh-rsa,rsa-sha2-256,rsa-sha2-512,ssh-dss,ecdsa-sha2- nistp256,ecdsa-sha2-nistp384,ecdsa-sha2-nistp521,sk-ecdsa-sha2- nistp256@openssh.com,webauthn-sk-ecdsa-sha2-nistp256@openssh.com> in which ssh-dss is present. It goes on with: debug1: SSH2_MSG_SERVICE_ACCEPT received debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,password,keyboard- interactive debug1: Next authentication method: publickey But then a number of "debug1: Trying private key: /root/.ssh/id_*" where id_dsa is not present. It continues with: debug1: Next authentication method: keyboard-interactive So it asks for a password and authorization with publickey no longer works. Previously I tried "ssh-keygen -t ecdsa" which did not work either and the one that I used, which worked, was of the type rsa. Any ideas? Bug? -- fr.gr. member openSUSE Freek de Kruijf

Leap 15.5 - looking good
by Per Jessen 23 Feb '23

23 Feb '23

Apart from my own fat fingers, the pxe install of 15.5 is going well. currently less than 200 of 900 packages left. context - pxe+ssh install, from local mirror, root+home filesystem is jfs. Okay, all done before I finished typing. Slightly exotic - I'm trying to boot with lilo, and I can't even run lilo. "No such file or directory". (booted installer, chroot into new system with bind mounts): discompi8:/ # lilo -V bash: /sbin/lilo: No such file or directory discompi8:/ # l /sbin/lilo -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 186896 May 16 2020 /sbin/lilo* discompi8:/ # strace lilo -V execve("/sbin/lilo", ["lilo", "-V"], 0x7ffc8e28c2e8 /* 40 vars */) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) strace: exec: No such file or directory +++ exited with 1 +++ Granted, I have probahly not installed anything on real iron with lilo in two-three years or more, I must be missing something. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (12.8°C) Member, openSUSE Heroes (2016 - present) We're hiring - https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Heroes

TW does break

After a 'dup', the initrd was not re-built correctly, the system did not boot up. No need to solicit support, although I screwed up when trying to boot a rescue system - I picked 64bit instead of 32bit :-) > your continuing ranting about TW being unstable is FUD! Maybe not quite - TW _does_ break, there are simply way too many things that are not being tested in openQA. Not a criticism, just a fact. > and factory is not the *only* place to seek > help with TW difficulties, it is *not* the place. True, most of the time it is the wrong place for a user-only to seek support. The thing with TW is - it is for users who have a penchant for tinkering and who don't mind spending the time. In my limited opinion of course. I keep TW on two uncritical systems, if they happen not to work for a week or two, it doesn't matter. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (10.1°C) Member, openSUSE Heroes (2016 - present) We're hiring - https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Heroes

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.

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?
