Leap 15.5 and busybox gzip
by Roger Oberholtzer 29 Sep '23

29 Sep '23

I have a strange situation on Leap 15.5 I am trying to install a number of packages (rpmbuild, yast2-installation) and have a problem with gzip. Or more accurately how is seems to be installed. I have installed kmod, which in turn installs suse-module-tools. So far ok. The problem is that kmod/suse-module-tools seems to want to install busybox-gzip instead of the standard gzip package. That provides: > rpm -ql busybox-gzip-1.35.0-150400.4.5.1.noarch /bin/gunzip /bin/gzip /bin/zcat /usr/bin/gunzip /usr/bin/gzip /usr/bin/uncompress /usr/bin/zcat /usr/bin/zgrep /usr/bin/zless /usr/bin/zmore When I try to install one of the packages I need, I get this: Problem: the to be installed yast2-installation-4.5.17-150500.3.3.1.noarch requires 'gzip', but this requirement cannot be provided not installable providers: gzip-1.10-150200.10.1.x86_64[Leap_15.5] gzip-1.10-150200.10.1.x86_64[openSUSE_-_OSS] Solution 1: deinstallation of busybox-gzip-1.35.0-150400.4.5.1.noarch Solution 2: do not install yast2-installation-4.5.17-150500.3.3.1.noarch Solution 3: break yast2-installation-4.5.17-150500.3.3.1.noarch by ignoring some of its dependencies kmod/suse-module-tools has blocked installing the standard gzip package: Problem: the installed busybox-gzip-1.35.0-150400.4.5.1.noarch conflicts with 'gzip' provided by the to be installed gzip-1.10-150200.10.1.x86_64 Solution 1: deinstallation of busybox-gzip-1.35.0-150400.4.5.1.noarch Solution 2: do not install gzip-1.10-150200.10.1.x86_64 Both kmod/suse-module-tools and are from: Distribution: SUSE Linux Enterprise 15 I don't see that I am enabling any repos that should change this. And even if I did, why is kmod/suse-module-tools using busybox? Although I could probably work past this, I think it would mess up when I next tried to do an update. And I am also trying to get this all to work in a KIWI-generated OEM Leap 15.5 installer where it must just work. Anyone else see this dependency on busybox-gzip? It's a show stopper re my KIWI build. -- Roger Oberholtzer

no more screen lock in kde of OS 15.5?
by Daniel Bauer 27 Sep '23

27 Sep '23

Hi, there was an entry in the right-click menu of the KDE desktop to lock the screen (so that a password is required to come back). This menu entry isn't there anymore. Is this my fault? Can I bring it back? Thanks for hints Daniel OS 15.5, KDE -- Daniel Bauer photographer Basel Málaga Twitter: @Marsfotografo (often explicit nudes) https://www.patreon.com/danielbauer https://www.daniel-bauer.com (nudes)

After installing pipewire, volume always set at 92% on login?
by David C. Rankin 22 Sep '23

22 Sep '23

All, I finally took the plunge and installed pipewire on 15.4. Works just fine. Just install per https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Pipewire and you don't have to enable the systemd unit -- it will be done. Anyway, one strange side-effect is that on boot/login (like after today's kernel update), the volume is always set at 92%. Way too loud. I always set the volume to 57% or 62% which is about right on this laptop. What tool or what config file do I use to tell pipewire to either set the volume at 62% or just not touch the volume setting altogether? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

We have some of the smarted devs... pgloader is a great example
by David C. Rankin 22 Sep '23

22 Sep '23

All, Just a good example of why SUSE/openSUSE is as good as it is. I built pgloader naively on Arch and the package was 23MiB. Then needed to install the same package on leap 15.4 and install was only 300KiB - WTF? Digging into the spec, the SUSE packager had noticed that the SBCL elf files contained gaps and no debug sections and so an objcopy of the executable would reduce the size by over 20M!!! Absolutely brilliant, and quite space efficient. I added the objcopy to the Arch build and presto, a 23M executable drops to just 400K. .spec explanation for the curious (like me) %install install -d %{buildroot}%{_bindir} # # SBCL produces ELF files that # (1.) have excessive gaps and which could be fixed by objcopy/strip/etc. # (2.) do not have any .debug_* sections, therefore rpm's debuginfo # mechanism (would do strip) does not trigger at all. # # Hence this copyin-copyout call with objcopy, which reduces filesize from 20MB # to 300KB. # objcopy bin/pgloader %{buildroot}%{_bindir}/pgloader Kudos to the packager! -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[oS-en] Thunderbird can not find hosts

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Sometimes, maybe at boot, maybe on restore from suspend or hibernation, Thunderbird claims that it can not find host. Any host. Like imap.telefonica.net.

I now know that also closing the lid sometimes works. This may be related to the other problem that I found, that sometimes after suspend, wlan fails, and closing the lid also makes it work again. But not restarting the router, that fails. And happens with two different routers, each at each side of the pond. So, not the router. - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.

[oS-en] WiFi problem
by Carlos E. R. 20 Sep '23

20 Sep '23

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, Some days, on return from hibernation or suspend, the WiFi doesn't get a connection. It can see the router, but something fails and there is no connection. By chance, I suspended the laptop in the middle of writing this post, and wlan is working again, so I got a workaround :-? I paste the log in case someone has an idea what is going on. However, I will not be able to do any testing on the site, as I'm crossing the pond today, back to home. I may be able to do quick tests while packing. cer@Laicolasse:~> susepaste -n "Carlos E R" -t "journal wlan" -e 40320 wifiproblemjournal.txt Pasted as: https://susepaste.org/903011e57cfa https://paste.opensuse.org/903011e57cfa Link is also in your clipboard. cer@Laicolasse:~> - -- Cheers Carlos E.
