Actually, it's a bit different. First off, the link local address is used for routing. This address starts with fe80 and every IPv6 capable device has one. Second, while my router has a single IPv6 address, it's prefix is a /128. This means it can't communicate directly with anything. All traffic for that address has to be routed via the link local address. In fact, you don't even need a global address on the WAN port. If you had to reach it from elsewhere, you could use any other global address in it, such as the LAN address. It makes no difference, as any address on the router has to be reached over the link local address.

[oS-en] Web photo gallery
by Carlos E. R. 18 Apr '23

18 Apr '23

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, Do you know of a trivial, no frills, self hosted web photo gallery? I locally upload a directory of photos to my own web server, and I just pot a link to it for friends to see. Nobody can upload photos except me, locally. And not using port 80, but a higher port of my own (it seems my ISP insists on using 80 themselves on my own router). I googled. I found this: <https://linuxhint.com/self-hosted-photo-video-galleries/> but none of that seems to be available at openSUSE. - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.

OT? Video resolution
by Fred 16 Apr '23

16 Apr '23

I know this isn't opensuse but maybe someone here has some insight as to how I should proceed: I have an older I5 based box that I put Netrunner linux on. It has a VGA port which is bridged to an HDMI adapter to the HD TV. The video driver says it is i915, mesa is installed, etc but it seems the best I can get is 1024x768. I do not remember what max res was when Win-whatever was installed but it is a Dell Optiplex 3020 which says it "Intel® HD Graphics 4600 (with select CPUs)" and I do see the 4600 as I poke around in the system. On Dell's website it says that this was released in 2013 and it says 1280x720 and 1366x768, which would be better than what I am getting. I went to Intel's site but didn't see anything that jumped out at me about how to get a higher resolution than what I am seeing. Is it even possible with this configuration? Do I need to install different drivers? It looks like I may have the latest... Anyway, any insight you can offer would be appreciated. Thanks, Fred

systemctl edit for own unit files in /usr/local/lib/systemd/system
by mh＠mike.franken.de 16 Apr '23

16 Apr '23

Hi *, I keep my own systemd unit files in /usr/local/lib/systemd/system. Enabling them creates a link from the unit file in this directory to for example multiuser.target.wants. But editing them with systemctl edit --full and writing back the edited file creates a new file with the modified contents in /etc/system/system and leaves my file in /usr/local/lib/systemd/system untouched. So I have two files with different contents from now on, which is at least confusing. Is that really the intended behaviour of systemctl edit? Or am I doing something wrong? TIA. Bye. Michael.

Only 1920x1080 resolution for laptop in x11-server in leap 15.4
by Bengt Gördén 15 Apr '23

15 Apr '23

Hi, I have two new laptops. Both are ThinkPad X1 Yoga Gen 7[1]. Mine runs Tumbleweed and it works. I thought for my peace of mind I would install Leap 15.4 on my wife's laptop. I got everything working except there is only one setting for the resolution. This laptop has 1920x1200 but I can only get 1920x1080 on Leap 15.4. I haven't touched Leap in about 5 years. Is there anything special about Leap and resolution? I have tried to install the xorg server from X11:XOrg but no cigar. I rolled back to the original x server. Is there something simple that I overlooked? mine with TW: $ loginctl show-session 1 -p Type Type=x11 # inxi -V | head -1 inxi 3.3.23-00 (2022-10-31) # inxi --graphics Graphics: Device-1: Intel Alder Lake-P Integrated Graphics driver: i915 v: kernel Device-2: Syntek Integrated Camera type: USB driver: uvcvideo Display: x11 server: X.Org v: 21.1.8 with: Xwayland v: 23.1.1 driver: X: loaded: modesetting unloaded: fbdev,vesa dri: iris gpu: i915 resolution: 1920x1200~60Hz API: OpenGL v: 4.6 Mesa 23.0.1 renderer: Mesa Intel Graphics (ADL GT2) wifes with Leap 15.4: $ loginctl show-session 1 -p Type Type=x11 # inxi -V | head -1 inxi 3.3.07-00 (2021-10-11) # inxi --graphics Graphics: Device-1: Intel Alder Lake-P Integrated Graphics driver: N/A Device-2: Syntek Integrated Camera type: USB driver: uvcvideo Display: server: X.Org 1.20.3 driver: loaded: N/A unloaded: fbdev,modesetting,vesa resolution: 1920x1080~77Hz OpenGL: renderer: llvmpipe (LLVM 11.0.1 256 bits) v: 4.5 Mesa 21.2.4 [1] https://linux-hardware.org/?probe=b7786541c0 -- /bengan

TW Feature Request: X11 Fallback Driver
by Reid Sutherland 14 Apr '23

This isn't the right place but it would be really nice if X11 could use a secondary driver if the primary driver fails. This would help new users when the kernel is updated and the binary NV driver needs to be rebuilt.
