Purging unneeded packages and dependencies:
by -pj 29 Jun '24

29 Jun '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

Unable to install multimedia codec files on OpenSuSE 15.5
by Marc Chamberlin 27 Jun '24

27 Jun '24

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. I am running OpenSuSE 15.5 x64 OS. What am I doing wrong?

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
by Stakanov 26 Jun '24

26 Jun '24

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? Operating System: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20240607 KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.2.0 Qt Version: 6.7.1 Kernel Version: 6.9.3-1-default (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11 Processors: 12 × AMD Ryzen 5 5600G with Radeon Graphics Memory: 62.2 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon Pro W5500 Product Name: X570 Phantom Gaming 4

need help with transferring files from Android
by Daniel Bauer 23 Jun '24

23 Jun '24

Hi, I am traveling with my laptop with OS 15.5(KDE and should copy large files from my phone to the laptop. I have sshelper on the phone. But I forgot to copy the rsync command I use at home and didn't find out (google doesn't help). I can connect via console to the phone with ssh, but all my rsync trials failed (the parameters and/or path are wrong). So I thought I use bluetooth. The connection between phone and laptop can be established, but when I want to send a file from the phone I get the message: "laptop-name doesn't accept receiving files". Googling only brought up to install KDE-connect, I did on phone and on laptop. But it doesn't find another device to pair... (Don't know if it has to do with the kind of internet connection I use: My phone is connected and I use it as a hotspot to which I connect the laptop). So, if you can help me find a way to get files from Android phone to laptop, that would be great. I don't care how. - how to make my laptop accepting files via bluetooth? - or how to make kde-connect finding phone/laptop, - or how should the rsync command in sshelper look to copy photos from phone to laptop, - or any other idea?

ssh public key authentication in Leap 15.6
by Rick Smegal 22 Jun '24

22 Jun '24

A local server I used to regularly use to logon to with public key authentication in Leap 15.5 now reports: 92.168.33.2: Permission denied (publickey,keyboard-interactive) in Leap 15.6 using the same configuration within ~/.ssh of both distros. Obviously, the IdentityFile is unchanged. Any obvious suggestions on where I look for the change in Leap 15.6?
