[oS-EN] New formatting of updates announcements
by Carlos E. R. 19 Jul '23

19 Jul '23

Hi, I see that the new batch of update announcements come in html, with some simple formatting. Good, I like that, it was about time :-) Just one "but": the text should be monospaced, because otherwise it doesn't align. I'm thinking specifically of "SUSE-SU-2023:2243-2: important: Security update for ucode-intel". If not monospaced, instead of using vertical char " | " the paragraph should be use proper html tables. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from Telcontar, using openSUSE Leap 15.4)

why did eth0 suddenly stop working?
by Daniel Bauer 18 Jul '23

18 Jul '23

I have some cameras connected with eth-cables to a switch and from there to a computer (OS 15.5, using zoneminder for the cameras). It works. But this morning I saw that tonight the connection to the cameras was lost. I could ping the switch, but not the cameras. "arp -a" showed the IP's of the cameras but with "[IP] at incomplete ...". I checked all cables. I rebooted. I switched off/on electricity for computer/switch/cameras. I unplugged the switch's cable to the computer and plugged it again. No change. I plugged the eth cable to my laptop (that I used before for this task, using OS 15.3) and all connections worked... Plugged back the eth cable to the computer - and the connections work again, all cameras pingable and visible. Magic. There are no messages in var/log, only the zoneminder-log said "no connection to..."

curious issue with kaffeine and sat-card, "no device with suitable settings"
by Stakanov 17 Jul '23

17 Jul '23

I am getting from time to time the block of the application with the following error message: Non è stato trovato un dispositivo con impostazioni valide o i permessi di accesso sono errati. Controlla la finestra Configura televisione. In plain English that is: a device with suitable settings was not found or the access permissions are erroneous. Pleas check within the menu "configure television". When you check there all is normal. Closing the app, restarting it, solves it immediately. I am curious if someone might have an idea were the problem comes from.

How to setup my network?
by Marc Chamberlin 16 Jul '23

16 Jul '23

Hello OpenSuSE, I have been trying/experimenting with setting up my SOHO network of about 5 computers, most of which are running OpenSuSE 15.4 x64, and one (my main gateway computer to the internet) running OpenSuSE 15.3 x64. All systems are using the Plasma/KDE desktop. My main gateway computer is called "quasar" and the other systems have names such as "bigbang", "nova", etc... My network is split into 2 halves, 192.168.10.0/25 is my "internal" zone, and 192.168.10.128/25 is my "dmz" zone. Except for "quasar" each computer has 2 NIC's, one for each of my zones. Addresses and default routes are assigned by a dhcpd server, and that much is working fine (AFAIK) at the moment. "Quasar" has 3 NIC's, one of which is for my "external" zone, and the other two are for my "internal" and "dmz" zones respectively. The "internal" zone NIC is given a static IP address of 192.168.10.100 and the "dmz" zone NIC is given a static IP address of 192.168.10.200. My "external" zone NIC has been assigned 5 different public IP4 addresses, all statically assigned by using the YaST2->Network Card Setup to assign one of these public IP4 addresses to the NIC card itself, and the other 4 public IP4 addresses are assigned to this same "external" NIC card as additional addresses for that "external" NIC card. What I want to accomplish is to set up the routing so that any incoming traffic to one of these external additional IP4 addresses, on a port, gets routed from "quasar" to one of my other computers on the DMZ side of my network on the same port number. So for example, lets say there is incoming traffic whose destination is 111.111.111.112:10. I want this to be routed/forwarded to my internal computer called "Nova" at it's DMZ address of say 192.168.10.210:10 and I don't want to specify a rule for each and every port number specifically. Different computers will have different services listening on different ports. How do I accomplish this? So far I have tried lots of combinations of setting up rich and direct rules in firewalld, using firewalld's port forwarding rules, using the route tables in Yast2 -> Network Setup, and trying to write iptables rules directly. I have turned on masquerading of course or used nat/dnat rules in iptables. This seems like it should be fairly straight-forward, but I have found no joy getting this to work. (and have spent many days trying to grok a solution) I would sure appreciate it if any guru here could show me how to accomplish this wretched task before I pull all my hair out! One caveat, it would be extremely difficult for me to run extra cables and I really really want to accomplish this virtually with only software configuration solutions. Thanks with much appreciation for helping me with this! Marc..

Using Wayland with Leap 15.4 and XFCE
by Jeffrey Taylor 15 Jul '23

15 Jul '23

What needs to be installed to use Wayland with XFCE on Leap 15.4? SDDM currently only shows several Window Managers (XFCE, Fluxbox, etc.) with no indication of whether X11 or Wayland is used. TIA, Jeffrey

run kcminit when mouse connects
by mh＠mike.franken.de 13 Jul '23

13 Jul '23

Hi *, there are known bugs, that for a mouse, that is unplugged and plugged in again, settings are not always properly set as configured. Running /usr/bin/kcminit /usr/lib64/qt5/plugins/plasma/kcminit/kcm_mouse_init.so solves this problem. Does anyone know, where/how this would happen automatically without those known bugs? Is there any other way to run the command mentioned above as soon as a mouse conntects? For the moment I have created a shortcut, but this is annoying in case of a KVM switch. TIA. Bye. Michael.

How to setup my network? RESOLVED.
by Marc Chamberlin 13 Jul '23

13 Jul '23

Thanks Carlos,Bob,Andrei and others for your thoughts and taking the time to reply. I have decided I will follow the group's consensus and put a switch on my external internet cable and directly route to all my systems, each with their own public IP address. It's too bad firewalld can't handle the routing, as I had hoped, but I can live with this solution as well. So for now lets call this question resolved and move on, thanks again... Marc...

What about SUSE and bcachefs? Seems to have a resource issue (development, not system hogging).
by David C. Rankin 11 Jul '23

11 Jul '23

Devs, Not sure if SUSE has any interest in bcachefs following the massive commitment of resources to BTRFS, but it seems bcachefs needs additional resources to get over the finish line. I have no burning desire for a new FS, ext4 is just fine, but it does look interesting. I don't know if this is something the powers-that-be want to look at? It looks like it will not make the 6.5 kernel, but that is largely due to merge request issues/dependencies and it seems quite lacking on development resources. Relevant part of LKML thread https://lkml.org/lkml/2023/7/6/865 Not sure if the FS folks here have any interest in bcachefs, but it was interesting enough to pass on and see. I hadn't seen bcachefs before the dust-up on LKML, but having watched BTRFS mature with SUSE's help, this may provide another unique opportunity to steer the development of a new FS if it provides any significant benefit over BTRFS. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
