Problem Running ADB fastboot tools on TW
by Stakanov 22 Mar '23

22 Mar '23

Host is Tumbleweed. Java is: entropy@localhost:~> java --version openjdk 11.0.18 2023-01-17 OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 11.0.18+0-suse-3.1-x8664) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 11.0.18+0-suse-3.1-x8664, mixed mode) entropy@localhost:~> Now when trying to simply click on it, it gives a window with the uncompressed jar file (which is not what I want, and yes, I have made it executable after downloading. When telling TW to run the jar file with java (e.g. in a terminal to get output of what goes wrong here), it complains as follows: Errore: impossibile trovare o caricare la classe principale .home.entropy.bin.XiaomiADBFastbootTools.jar Causato da: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: /home/entropy/bin/ XiaomiADBFastbootTools/jar what do I do wrongly, what is my problem here. Anybody having experience with starting this program is highly welcome to comment. Thank you in advance.

TW update: unexpected file sizes
by Pit Suetterlin 21 Mar '23

21 Mar '23

Hi list, just did a DUP on my TW laptop (i.e., to TW20230318) and got two complaints about file size mismatches: Downloaded data exceeded the expected filesize '14.6 KiB' of 'http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/science/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/noarc…'. Downloaded data exceeded the expected filesize '151.5 KiB' of 'http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/science/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/noarc…'. Their "master"(Printrun-common-2.0.0~rc7.1599393390.c451359-24.151.x86_64.rpm) seems OK. Anyone else seen this? Cache/Mirror issue? Or something serious to report (where?)

[oS-EN] Something is changing the EFI boot order on me.
by Carlos E. R. 19 Mar '23

19 Mar '23

Hi, I did a maintenance routine update (Leap 15.4), and on reboot, the machine did not boot the main system, but the auxiliary one. I couldn't boot the main one from its grub menu, another error. On entry, I run "efibootmgr -v" and I see that the "main-os" entry was not in the "BootOrder". So I edit it back, and reboot. I also did an update of this auxiliary system, which is running 15.2. So I get to boot the "main" system, then I reboot again, and choose in the "bios" to boot the auxiliary system to let it purge kernels. I run again "efibootmgr -v", by chance, and see that the order is, again, altered (sorry about line wrap): > Andor:~ # efibootmgr -v > BootCurrent: 0001 > Timeout: 1 seconds > BootOrder: 0003,0000,0001 > Boot0000* main-os-secureboot HD(1,GPT,800b649f-a2e3-4dad-b2bf-b7ecc5ef11d8,0x800,0xfa000)/File(\EFI\MAIN-OS\SHIM.EFI) > Boot0001* auxiliary-secureboot HD(1,GPT,800b649f-a2e3-4dad-b2bf-b7ecc5ef11d8,0x800,0xfa000)/File(\EFI\AUXILIARY\SHIM.EFI) > Boot0003* UEFI OS HD(1,GPT,800b649f-a2e3-4dad-b2bf-b7ecc5ef11d8,0x800,0xfa000)/File(\EFI\BOOT\BOOTX64.EFI)..BO > Andor:~ # Who has put first the entry number 3? It can not boot, it contains an ancient BOOTX64.EFI. So I put it back: Andor:~ # efibootmgr --bootorder 0000,0001,0003 BootCurrent: 0001 Timeout: 1 seconds BootOrder: 0000,0001,0003 Boot0000* main-os-secureboot Boot0001* auxiliary-secureboot Boot0003* UEFI OS Andor:~ # I will now send this email, hope to boot "main-os" and check again the boot order. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.

Why is that so huge a problem that I have to be warned about it? I don't care. The programmer might want to see it, but users have no need to see it. Yet it has priority 3. It should be a debug message. For the programmer. #define KERN_EMERG "<0>" /* system is unusable */ #define KERN_ALERT "<1>" /* action must be taken immediately */ #define KERN_CRIT "<2>" /* critical conditions */ #define KERN_ERR "<3>" /* error conditions */ #define KERN_WARNING "<4>" /* warning conditions */ #define KERN_NOTICE "<5>" /* normal but significant condition */ #define KERN_INFO "<6>" /* informational */ #define KERN_DEBUG "<7>" /* debug-level messages */ There are many more. <1.4> 2023-03-09T23:11:37.426440+01:00 Telcontar tracker-extract 24161 - - Locale 'LANG' is not set, defaulting to C locale <1.4> 2023-03-09T23:20:54.003175+01:00 Telcontar tracker-extract 24897 - - Locale 'LANG' is not set, defaulting to C locale <1.4> 2023-03-09T23:21:36.812011+01:00 Telcontar tracker-extract 24927 - - Locale 'LANG' is not set, defaulting to C locale <1.4> 2023-03-09T23:22:05.421592+01:00 Telcontar tracker-extract 24950 - - Locale 'LANG' is not set, defaulting to C locale <1.4> 2023-03-09T23:22:43.379085+01:00 Telcontar tracker-extract 24973 - - Locale 'LANG' is not set, defaulting to C locale <1.4> 2023-03-09T23:23:08.342804+01:00 Telcontar tracker-extract 24991 - - Locale 'LANG' is not set, defaulting to C locale <1.4> 2023-03-09T23:25:31.775909+01:00 Telcontar tracker-extract 25112 - - Locale 'LANG' is not set, defaulting to C locale <1.4> 2023-03-09T23:26:15.878323+01:00 Telcontar tracker-extract 25144 - - Locale 'LANG' is not set, defaulting to C locale Why is that a warning, and spamming the WARNING log? <1.4> 2023-03-09T21:45:20.910119+01:00 Telcontar krusader 17147 - - QCoreApplication::applicationDirPath: Please instantiate the QApplication object first <1.4> 2023-03-09T21:45:21.655721+01:00 Telcontar krusader 17147 - - 21:45:21.655-warning default unknown@0 # QWidget::insertAction: Attempt to insert null action <1.4> 2023-03-09T21:45:21.657776+01:00 Telcontar krusader 17147 - - 21:45:21.657-warning default unknown@0 # QWidget::insertAction: Attempt to insert null action <1.4> 2023-03-09T21:45:21.666504+01:00 Telcontar krusader 17147 - - 21:45:21.666-warning kf.i18n unknown@0 # Trying to convert empty KLocalizedString to QString. <1.4> 2023-03-09T21:53:41.223609+01:00 Telcontar tracker-extract 17950 - - Locale 'LANG' is not set, defaulting to C locale <1.4> 2023-03-09T22:20:14.013742+01:00 Telcontar krusader 6836 - - 22:20:14.012-warning kf.kio.widgets unknown@0 # Failed to check which JobView API is supported "The name org.kde.kuiserver was not provided by any .service files" Ditto. 1.4> 2023-03-09T19:07:32.113665+01:00 Telcontar tumblerd 4988 - - Name org.freedesktop.thumbnails.Cache1 lost on the message dbus, exiting. <1.4> 2023-03-09T19:07:32.113782+01:00 Telcontar tumblerd 4988 - - Name org.freedesktop.thumbnails.Manager1 lost on the message dbus, exiting. <1.4> 2023-03-09T19:07:32.113857+01:00 Telcontar tumblerd 4988 - - Name org.freedesktop.thumbnails.Thumbnailer1 lost on the message dbus, exiting.

Copying /home
by Mark Misulich 18 Mar '23

18 Mar '23

Hi, I'm trying to copy my home files from one computer to another using rsync. I had already copied some files from home to the new computer with a usb stick, and want to update the information to include all additions to files on the old computer to the new computer. The two computers are linked via cat5 through my my router. I'm going to switch my computer for a newer build, the one I'm using as the source is around 15 years old so I want to transfer all my stored data in /home in the old computer to /home in the new computer. I'm asking the list to look over the bash commands that I've researched to make sure I've got it right. $ ssh lxmark(a)xxx.xxx.x.x (enter) then yes then enter pasword for user on the destination computer $ rsync -av /home/mark/ lxmark@xxx.xxx.x.x:/home/lxmark Thanks, Mark

update problem with imlib2
by Frank McCormick 18 Mar '23

18 Mar '23

I am a relatively new user of Tumbleweed so I am unfamiliar with the best course in this update problem. zypper dup gives me this: Computing distribution upgrade... Problem: the to be installed imlib2-devel-1.11.0-80.1.x86_64 requires 'libImlib2-1 = 1.11.0', but this requirement cannot be provided not installable providers: libImlib2-1-1.11.0-80.1.i586[https-download.opensuse.org-6a0df1c6] libImlib2-1-1.11.0-80.1.x86_64[https-download.opensuse.org-6a0df1c6] Solution 1: install imlib2-devel-1.10.0-1.3.x86_64 from vendor openSUSE replacing imlib2-devel-1.10.0-79.9.x86_64 from vendor obs://build.opensuse.org/graphics Solution 2: install libImlib2-1-1.11.0-80.1.x86_64 from vendor obs://build.opensuse.org/graphics replacing libImlib2-1-1.10.0-1.3.x86_64 from vendor openSUSE Solution 3: keep obsolete imlib2-devel-1.10.0-79.9.x86_64 Solution 4: break imlib2-devel-1.11.0-80.1.x86_64 by ignoring some of its dependencies Choose from above solutions by number or cancel [1/2/3/4/c/d/?] (c): What's the best move in this situation. I had the same problem earlier but forget what I chose and as a result my taskbar tint2 started showing blank squares instead of the proper icons and the .xsession-errors file was filled with errors. Thank for any help Frank
