KDE keyboard layout not starting on login
by Stratos Zolotas 15 May '23

15 May '23

Hello, I have a strange issue that appears in two systems. One Tumbleweed and one 15.4. I use en and gr keyboard layouts configured from the KDE settings. Although the setting is valid and as soon as I apply it the keyboard layout indicator appears in the system tray, after reboot it disappears and I have to go and re-apply the settings (it is not deleted just not "executed") to make it visible and working again. I usually use keep last session on KDE but I also tried to start with a clean session or with a manual saved session. Nothing seems to affect the keyboard layout indicator, it is always disappearing after reboot. Both systems were working as expected before. The only difference is that the issue on 15.4 appeared just after dist-upgrading from 15.3. Any ideas on how to debug it? Regards Stratos

Bonding?
by Lew Wolfgang 10 May '23

10 May '23

Hi Folks, We've been collecting data through four 1-GbE Ethernet interfaces configured as independent connections on different subnets. This has been working well enough for years. But now someone has suggested bonding those four interfaces into one virtual interface. I've never had any experience with this sort of thing, it looks like there's "bonding" and a newer thing called "teaming". We're already getting 950-Mb/channel so we'd be looking more for load-leveling and fall-over reliability. I wonder if any of you might have some suggestions or experience you might share? Regards, Lew

[oS-en] Testing the new configuration of firewalld

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Content-ID: <5bf6502a-a6a1-9cf4-dce1-355b4d5b564b(a)Telcontar.valinor> Hi, (This is a thinking aloud post, so of course there is conflict in what I say) So I converted my miniserver to use firewalld instead of SuSEfirewalld, using "susefirewall2-to-firewalld" script.

It seems that: services: dns http https mountd nfs nfs3 ntp rpc-bind ssh takes precedence over the rich rule denying packets via router. [headache] Obviously, being a server, both ssh and http have to be open even if the packet is incoming from the router, but not on the 22 and 80 ports, but on the high ports only. So maybe I have to remove the line services: dns http https mountd nfs nfs3 ntp rpc-bind ssh move all that to rich rules that open those ports on IPv4 only, and open generically ports 50000 and 51000 only. Wait, ssh comes from the router on port 22, it is translated. Making sshd listen on 51000 is not that easy. So, generically open port 50000. Open port 22 on IPv4, close on IPv6? Or open generically. Ideas? (Can I write comments in xml file /etc/firewalld/zones/external.xml?) - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.

Tumbleweed install with secure boot failing
by Wolfgang Rosenauer 01 May '23

01 May '23

Hi, just got a new laptop with Windows 11 installed and I'm not supposed to remove Win 11 completely ;-) but want to install Tumbleweed in dual boot. Since apparently I'm installing only every few years it's always again "interesting". I downloaded a recent Tumbleweed snapshot and wrote it to a USB stick but I cannot boot from it as the system tells me that the secure boot signature is invalid. When trying to search for the issue I cannot find much. I found that Tumbleweed should be supporting secure boot completely and therefore I have no idea what might be wrong as apparently is meant to just work. Any pointers? Thanks, Wolfgang

sfw2 to firewalld conversion
by Per Jessen 01 May '23

01 May '23

Carlos was right, it is ancient news - the script is dated 2016. I guess it is well off-topic too, but at least it is SUSE related :-) I needed a bit of a distraction, I've been working on a website, so after dinner I installed the migration script on my tw64 test box, along with firewalld. If need be, I can wipe the whole slate clean. After starting firewalld (with an empty config I presume), I tried the first run of susefirewall2-to-firewalld. It took 5m49s - seemed to spend much of it with a whole slew of icmps. Two initial comments - after looking at the output - the conversion script isn't quite ipv6 aware: INFO: RICH: Adding rich rule="rule family=ipv4 source address=fe80::/64 port port=5353 protocol=udp accept" to zone="ext" INFO: RICH: Adding rich rule="rule family=ipv4 source address=fc00::/64 port port=5353 protocol=udp accept" to zone="ext" INFO: RICH: Adding rich rule="rule family=ipv4 source address=fe80::/64 port port=5353 protocol=udp accept" to zone="int" It does however seem to understand your "from:to": port-range syntax: INFO: Adding port(s)="30000-30010/tcp" to zone="external" INFO: Adding port(s)="4664/tcp" to zone="external" INFO: Adding port(s)="427/tcp" to zone="external" INFO: Adding port(s)="5060-5100/udp" to zone="external" -- Per Jessen, Zürich (14.6°C) Member, openSUSE Heroes (2016 - present) We're hiring - https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Heroes

Really?? or are you just trolling? I certainly can't say that matches my experience, at all. I have been running ipv6 since around 2007, first with a tunnel, later with fixed ISP ranges and since 2015 with our own /28. We also still have a number of leased external machines, all with ipv6. Reliability is fine, I don't understand how ipv6 could possibly reduce reliability of anything. Some PIT ... minor issues: * Wifi access points by Tp-Link have had trouble with ipv6. (okay, identifying that issue was a royal PITA) * dynamic ipv6 dns updates worked until we upgraded bind (they work again now) * recently, radvd threw a wobbly, still pondering that. * androids don't work with dhcpv6. I have one issue I have only just this week picked up - we need to get the reverse zone dynamic updates to work too. There is some odd bind error when we enable updates. Some days our public opensuse mirror has up to 33% ipv6 traffic. (from http://mirror.hostsuisse.com/stats/opensuse) Switzerland - 19.4% of traffic, 169 unique clients France - 34.6% of traffic, 473 unique clients Germany - 18.7% of traffic, 3333 unique clients Portugal - 47.5% of traffic, 63 unique clients Netherlands - 18.4% of traffic, 152 unique clients Spain - 3.5% of traffic, 9 unique clients However, the question in $SUBJ _is_ certainly valid, Andrei brought it up too. Well, for Joe Consumer in his armchair it brings nothing, and he or she will not even notice. When I started playing with ipv6, I think I had the following reasons - * ipv4 is boring, btdt. * need to have ipv6, to write/test code for it. * want to know ipv6, it's a challenge and fun learning. * avoid problems when the ipv4 pool is exhausted. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (17.5°C) Member, openSUSE Heroes (2016 - present) We're hiring - https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Heroes

Boot Problem
by Mark Misulich 29 Apr '23

29 Apr '23

Hi, I restarted my computer and when it attempted to restart, it didn't boot to the opensuse grub operating system selection screen for my multiboot computer with Opensuse Tumbleweed and Windows11. It instead booted to grub command line. I tried to research the problem on the internet to try to correct this problem from grub command line, but none of the attempts I have made have worked. The commands only bring up the response "file system unknown" instead of the expected response. I've gotten Tumbleweed to boot with supergrub2-206s2-beta1-multiarch-USB, where no other version of supergrub2 would work to boot Tumbleweed from the bios bootmenu. I thought, "Great, I'm out of the woods. I'll just reinstall the grub2-efi bootloader via yast2, and I'll be back in business!" But it didn't work out that way. When I try to do that, I get this message: Error Execution of command "[["/usr/sbin/shim-install", "-config-file=/boot/grub2/grub.cfg"]]" failed. Exit code: 1 Error output: /usr/sbin/grub2-probe: error: ../grub-core/kern/fs.c: 121:unknown filesystem. I've been launched into another Linux learning adventure without asking for the opportunity, so can the list advise me how to get this problem fixed? This may not be pertinent to this problem, but when I select Windows boot manager from the bios boot list, windows boots normally from that point. I'm running opensuse Tumbleweed 20230416 with KDE PLasma version: 5.27.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.105.0 Qt Version: 5.15.8 Kernel Version: 6.2.10-1-default (64-bit) Thanks, Mark

Something like this maybe - explicitly not intended as a ready-to-go solution, only as inspiration: inotifywait -m /var/lib/NetworkManager/ |\ egrep 'dhclient6[^.]+\.lease$' |\ while read nmdir events nmfile do echo $events $nmfile do-your-stuff-here done Alternatively, there are some dhcp hooks too, I wonder if they might also be called by NetworkManager. /etc/dhcp/dhclient.d -- Per Jessen, Zürich (11.4°C) Member, openSUSE Heroes (2016 - present) We're hiring - https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Heroes

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I have a script (from somebody else) to download the image of the day from the NASA. I have modified the script quite a bit to download a range of days, even years of them. One key function is failing on today's picture. This is the relevant section of the script: +++...................... function get_page { echo "Downloading page to find image" #wget http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ --quiet -O /tmp/apod.html wget https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap${SHORT_TODAY}.html --quiet -O /tmp/apod.html grep -m 1 jpg /tmp/apod.html | sed -e 's/<//' -e 's/>//' -e 's/.*=//' -e 's/"//g' -e 's/^/http:\/\/apod.nasa.gov\/apod\//' > /tmp/pic_url } get_page # Got the link to the image PICURL=`/bin/cat /tmp/pic_url` if [ -z $PICURL ]; then echo "Not found picture.jpg for $TODAY. Trying .png" try_png PICURL=`/bin/cat /tmp/pic_url` if [ -z $PICURL ]; then echo "Not found picture.png for $TODAY. html file saved" cp /tmp/apod.html $PICTURES_DIR/$TODAY.html return fi fi NAME=`basename $PICURL` PICTURE_NAME=${TODAY}_${NAME} ......................++- The script sets up variable SHORT_TODAY to 230427, so "get_page" downloads <https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap230426.html>. It is coughing up this error: Do 20230427 Downloading page to find image /home/cer/bin/NASA Picture-Of-The-Day Wallpaper Script, mine, loop: line 98: [: too many arguments basename: extra operand ‘Tarantula</a>’ Try 'basename --help' for more information. The problem is here: cer@Isengard:~> grep -m 1 jpg /tmp/apod.html | sed -e 's/<//' -e 's/>//' -e 's/.*=//' -e 's/"//g' -e 's/^/http:\/\/apod.nasa.gov\/apod\//' http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/image/1602/Tarantula-HST-ESO-annotated1800.jpgAro… the Tarantula</a> cer@Isengard:~> The source html goes like this: <a href="image/1602/Tarantula-HST-ESO-annotated1800.jpg">Around the Tarantula</a> are other star forming regions with young star clusters, filaments, and blown-out <a href="ap080327.html">bubble-shaped</a> clouds. On the day before, it goes like this (here the script works as expected): 2023 April 26 <br> <a href="image/2304/MoonArc_zanarello_1365.jpg"> <IMG SRC="image/2304/MoonArc_zanarello_960.jpg" alt="A nearly full Moon is seen through the famous Arc de Triomphi with trees and cars lining the foreground. Please see the explanation for more detailed information." style="max-width:100%"></a> </center> where the function generates this text: cer@Isengard:~> echo '<a href="image/2304/MoonArc_zanarello_1365.jpg">' | grep -m 1 jpg | sed -e 's/<//' -e 's/>//' -e 's/.*=//' -e 's/"//g' -e 's/^/http:\/\/apod.nasa.gov\/apod\//' http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/image/2304/MoonArc_zanarello_1365.jpg cer@Isengard:~> My problem is, I don't talk sed O:-) So, I ask here if someone knows how to change that sed command so that it works ;-) (the full script I modified is: https://paste.opensuse.org/7f484bb7c807) - -- Cheers Carlos E.
