CIFS and sym links
by Roger Oberholtzer 03 Feb '23

03 Feb '23

If I create a link on a Windows NTFS disk (on Windows via mklink /d), that link shows up correctly on Linux when the disk is mounted via CIFS. For example: l--------- 1 rst root 0 Feb 2 10:41 ProgramFiles -> Program Files I can follow the link as expected. That's nice. However, if try to create a sym link on Linux (ln -s) on that CIFS volume, I get: ln: failed to create symbolic link 'qq': Operation not supported Is it truly not supported? Or is it some option I need to learn about that enables this? I have not checked how a Linux disk mounted in Windows acts in this respect. That's a later exploration. -- Roger Oberholtzer

Tumbleweed: after reinstall of system: creation of connection KVM fails with error message.

Has there been a change in directories of KVM, between var and run? What do I have to do to recover my images that are currently in /var/lib/ libvirt?

Mesa in packman repos
by Stakanov 02 Feb '23

02 Feb '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. P.S. this is a re-invoice of the very message. The first vanished, maybe you should check that spamfilter recognize your registered members?

tw pxe install - usessh no longer works?
by Per Jessen 02 Feb '23

02 Feb '23

After upgrading my TW test system last night, it failed to mount the root filesystem. This morning I wanted to start up the TW installer to investigate. It didn't work, the network wasn't properly initiated - I stumbled over this in the kernel messages, see paste. https://paste.opensuse.org/pastes/93a4c6fe0cb2 "Unknown kernel command line parameters ..." ?? I am booting this: http://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/oss/boot/x86_64/loader/linux http://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/oss/boot/x86_64/loader/initrd with this PXE setup : label tw64 kernel install/tumbleweed.64bit.kernel append initrd=install/tumbleweed.64bit.initrd usessh=1 sshpassword=1234 noresume net.ifnames=0 install=http://opensuse.herrliberg/tumbleweed/repo/oss (the append line folded, but should be seen as a single line). This was worked for ages and ages (approx). -- Per Jessen, Zürich (5.1°C) Member, openSUSE Heroes (2016 - present) We're hiring - https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Heroes

caching DNS
by joe a 01 Feb '23

01 Feb '23

Looking into installing a "caching DNS" server on openSUSE Leap 15.3, mainly to play nice with the anti SPAM "black list" providers, which are currently rejecting requests "blocked due to usage of an open resolver". Rumor has it that installing a "properly configured caching DNS server" is the fix du jour. Never done this. Never. Honest. Is "BIND" still they way to go?
