Hmm, When I tried to install the onc-click installation files, .ymp, for Multimedia Codecs like MP3, DVD, DivX, MP4 from https://www.opensuse-community.org/ for either KDE or GNOME I get the following error message - The install link or file you opened does not contain instructions for openSUSE Leap 15.5. from the YasT 1-Click installer.

No Login, no Graphics after update to Tumbleweed 20230211-0
by Peter Maffter 14 Sep '24

14 Sep '24

Hello, after the update the screen only shows a '-'. All the usual other tty screens that you get with e.g. STRG-ALT-F1 are also gone. I can connect to the PC via ssh from my Ubuntu Laptop and check what is going on. I am using an old GTX 570 on that PC. Previously when the G06 stuff was installed instead of updating the needed G04 stuff, I was able to install NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-390.157.run manually and the login and XFCE worked. But now even that fails. :-( Any pointers? Is that the beginning of the things that are named in Subject "Nvidia 390x driver users - glibc 2.37 will bring bad news" ? I do have strange output about signature and verification: 2023-02-13T00:08:13.628957+01:00 machine4 kernel: [ 3.411047][ T527] nvidia: loading out-of-tree module taints kernel. 2023-02-13T00:08:13.628957+01:00 machine4 kernel: [ 3.411690][ T527] nvidia: module license 'NVIDIA' taints kernel. 2023-02-13T00:08:13.628958+01:00 machine4 kernel: [ 3.412304][ T527] Disabling lock debugging due to kernel taint 2023-02-13T00:08:13.628958+01:00 machine4 kernel: [ 3.418769][ T527] nvidia: module verification failed: signature and/or required key missing - tainting kernel 2023-02-13T00:08:13.628963+01:00 machine4 kernel: [ 3.426827][ T538] tg3 0000:0d:00.0 eth0: Tigon3 [partno(BCM57781) rev 57785100] (PCI Express) MAC address 00:25:22:e6:5d:d3 2023-02-13T00:08:13.628964+01:00 machine4 kernel: [ 3.427483][ T538] tg3 0000:0d:00.0 eth0: attached PHY is 57765 (10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet) (WireSpeed[1], EEE[1]) 2023-02-13T00:08:13.628964+01:00 machine4 kernel: [ 3.428122][ T538] tg3 0000:0d:00.0 eth0: RXcsums[1] LinkChgREG[0] MIirq[0] ASF[0] TSOcap[1] 2023-02-13T00:08:13.628965+01:00 machine4 kernel: [ 3.428740][ T538] tg3 0000:0d:00.0 eth0: dma_rwctrl[00000001] dma_mask[64-bit] 2023-02-13T00:08:13.628965+01:00 machine4 kernel: [ 3.482616][ T527] nvidia-nvlink: Nvlink Core is being initialized, major device number 241 2023-02-13T00:08:13.628966+01:00 machine4 kernel: [ 3.488784][ T527] nvidia 0000:01:00.0: vgaarb: changed VGA decodes: olddecodes=io+mem,decodes=none:owns=io+mem 2023-02-13T00:08:13.628971+01:00 machine4 kernel: [ 3.489637][ T527] NVRM: loading NVIDIA UNIX x86_64 Kernel Module 390.157 Wed Oct 12 09:19:07 UTC 2022 (using threaded interrupts) 2023-02-13T00:08:13.628972+01:00 machine4 kernel: [ 3.499362][ T527] nvidia-modeset: Loading NVIDIA Kernel Mode Setting Driver for UNIX platforms 390.157 Wed Oct 12 09:15:25 UTC 2022 2023-02-13T00:08:13.628972+01:00 machine4 kernel: [ 3.505733][ T527] [drm] [nvidia-drm] [GPU ID 0x00000100] Loading driver 2023-02-13T00:08:13.628973+01:00 machine4 kernel: [ 3.506428][ T527] [drm] Initialized nvidia-drm 0.0.0 20160202 for 0000:01:00.0 on minor 1 Update openSUSE Tumbleweed 20230211-0 -> 20230212-0 did not help either.

RFC 6724
by James Knott 20 Aug '24

20 Aug '24

I was reading about proposed changes to RFC 6724 which determines the priority for IP address selection. In the original RFC 6724, IPv4 addresses are given preference to IPv6 Unique Local Addresses (ULA). The proposed changes would reverse that. However, in testing with ping, I see ULA is preferred, except for the computer being used for testing from. That is when a computer is pinging itself. Why the difference? Why is the proposed priority used when pinging a different device, but not the same device? Also, if I use the FQDN, instead of just the host name, then ULA is used. WTF??? I'm using the DNS resolver in pfSense. The host command returns both IPv4 and ULA addresses for both host name and FQDN Original - https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6724 Proposed - https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-6man-rfc6724-update/ Running openSUSE 15.5 & KDE.

[opensuse] boot32.efi for 64 bits processor and Leap
by jdd 16 Aug '24

16 Aug '24

Hello, We see more and more often very small but powerfull computers, atom multicore 64 bits, but with UEFI 32 bits firmware. I have one now ("It Works TW891" paid 129€ - 32Gb ssd + 2Gb ram, runs almost perfectly windows 10 32bits or Debian 64bits). these computers can be installed with 64 bits distros, but they need absolutely a 32 bits loader. Right now I on ly know of the hybrid debian 32/64bits dvd to be able to install. Notice that *only the loader* have to be 32bits, the generic name being boot32.efi copying a generic loader to the Leap EFI folder allows booting, and probably installing (I couldn't make all the tests), but the generic one gives only a grub prompt, not handy. Could it be possible to add to the Leap isos this 32 bits loader? only this one have to be 32bits, AFAIK nothing else have to be changed. thanks jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] How to make sure that each vNIC in guest is always associated with a correct VLAN?
by Martin T 14 Aug '24

14 Aug '24

Hi, I have six virtual bridges in xen host machine and following virtual machine configuration file section defining the vifs: vif = [ 'bridge=br10', 'bridge=br20', 'bridge=br30', 'bridge=br40', 'bridge=br50', 'bridge=br60' ] This means that in the guest(openSUSE Leap 42.1) I have six vNICs(eth0 - eth5). Can I be sure that eth0 is always connected to br10, eth1 to br20, etc? Or should I specify a MAC address for each vNIC created like this: vif = [ 'bridge=br10, mac=00:14:5E:11:C6:F1', 'bridge=br20, mac=00:14:5E:11:C6:F2', 'bridge=br30, mac=00:14:5E:11:C6:F3', 'bridge=br40, mac=00:14:5E:11:C6:F4', 'bridge=br50, mac=00:14:5E:11:C6:F5', 'bridge=br60, mac=00:14:5E:11:C6:F6' ] .. and then configure udev rules which make sure that interface associated with MAC 00:14:5E:11:C6:F1 and br10 is always named eth0, interface associated with MAC 00:14:5E:11:C6:F2 and br20 is always named eth1, etc? Or maybe there is a better way using /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-* files? thanks, Martin -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

Bad blocks on a ReiserFS volume. How to retrieve files?
by Silviu Marin-Caea 14 Aug '24

14 Aug '24

I have a large hard-disk (120 GB) on which some blocks went bad. Now, it cannot be mounted. Attached is what debugreiserfs says. What can I do; I'm newbie to reiserfs architecture. I thought that ReiserFS keeps copies of the superblock or something, like ext2/3 does. reiserfsck says "error occured looks like hardware problem. bread cannot read block 13271040". That's the actual number it displays. PS I have asked the same question on the reiserfs-list, but it's extremely low traffic. Maybe someone here knows more. Thank you Filesystem state: consistency is not checked after last mounting Reiserfs super block in block 16 on 0x1642 of format 3.6 with standard journal Count of blocks on the device: 29945160 Number of bitmaps: 914 Blocksize: 4096 Free blocks (count of blocks - used [journal, bitmaps, data, reserved] blocks): 29154954 Root block: 14969 Filesystem is NOT clean Tree height: 4 Hash function used to sort names: "r5" Objectid map size 10, max 972 Journal parameters: Device [0x0] Magic [0x34ae2c74] Size 8193 blocks (including 1 for journal header) (first block 18) Max transaction length 1024 blocks Max batch size 900 blocks Max commit age 30 Blocks reserved by journal: 0 Fs state field: 0x0 sb_version: 2 inode generation number: 35482 UUID: 48d29ced-fe37-4c68-adf8-32ace9f2be45 LABEL: Set flags in SB: ATTRIBUTES CLEAN

Purging unneeded packages and dependencies:
by -pj 04 Aug '24

04 Aug '24

Hi, I am wondering about how I should best go about purging packages and possibly dependencies along with what is displayed after passing 'zypper pa --unneeded'. I can use 'zypper remove --clean-deps' to remove the package along with it's uneeded dependencies or set 'solver.cleandepsOnRemove = true' in '/etc/zypp/zypp.conf'. Is it safe to set solver to clean up the dependencies on package removal in '/etc/zypp/zypp.conf' ? Can you tell me why it may be a bad idea to do this? I recently used 'zypper rm packagenames' to remove packages that 'zypper pa --unneeded' displayed on a machine without removing any dependent packages. I am working with another machine now and when I passed 'zypper pa --unneeded' the list is once again quite extensive > https://paste.opensuse.org/pastes/2824e60628ce What do you recommend with this situation. Are there negative impacts waiting for the machines user/s or operating system (Tumbleweed) if all the packages shown in the susepaste are purged? Thanks

Early distro update to Leap 15.6
by Darryl Gregorash 03 Aug '24

03 Aug '24

The 15.6 release candidate is now fixed, so I am thinking of doing a system upgrade now to resolve two issues with 15.5, one long-standing, the other occurring within the last week. Are there any issues which might make that a bad idea? If not, will another full update be needed when the final version is released on June 12?

Help! secure boot is preventing boot of debian, after opensuse update
by Richmond 15 Jul '24

15 Jul '24

I have a PC with two operating systems installed, Debian, and Opensuse. Both are installed with Secure Boot. Each has its own grub installation. Normally I boot debian, and if I want to boot opensuse I select UEFI settings from the main menu and select opensuse from there which launches the opensuse grub. Today I booted opensuse, and did an update which included an update to grub. Now I cannot boot debian as it says bad shim or bad signature. Each grub menu has the alternate O.S. on it, but booting debian from the opensuse grub menu did not work either. Should I disable secure boot temporarily? will that allow booting?

Why is manual symlink to vmlinux in the kernel source required for module build of
by David C. Rankin 08 Jul '24

Devs, Building kernel modules on an old 15.4 install, I get the warning: Skipping BTF generation for /home/david/dev/src-c/tmp/tst/kmgpio/gpioblink.ko due to unavailability of vmlinux Tracking the issue down, I ended up creating the symlink in the kernel source directory linux-5.14.21-150400.24.100-obj/x86_64/default: # ln -s /sys/kernel/btf/vmlinux The build proceeds fine then. My question is "is this normal to have to manually create the vmlinux symlink, and if not how should it be properly handled?" -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Tumbleweed can't get amavisd to start
by Curtis J Blank 27 Jun '24

27 Jun '24

Hope this is the correct place to post this. New to Tumblewed not new to openSuSE New install of Tumbleweed on new server. Can't get postfix to deliver mail it gets a 421 when trying to talk to port 10025 I don't think it's firewall related because amavisd fails to start with: Insecure directory in $ENV{PATH} while running with -T switch at /usr/lib/perl5/5.38.2/Net/Domain.pm line 173. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.38.2/Amavis/Conf.pm line 1038. Compilation failed in require at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.38.2/Amavis.pm line 27. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.38.2/Amavis.pm line 27. So is that indicating there are two distinct errors? PATH and Perl? Logged into the server checked all the directories I see in the PATH all are 755. This same postfix conf (older version though) is running on another openSuSE server and for the life of me I cannot find what is different so I'm stumped at the moment as to why.

kde nm behavior with br0

On my system I have a strange issue, if I disconnect a br0 attached to the only eth, and try to reactivate it, it does not get an IP address. If I restart the machine (did not try to just restart the network service) it does connect flawlessly. Anybody using br0 setup with kvm-guest on his machine sees this too?
