Bad name in Tumbleweed checksum file (Media/Current)
by David C. Rankin 16 Jul '24

16 Jul '24

Devs, The checksum file contains the name "Media" instead of "Current" so fails in the -c check: $ sha256sum -c openSUSE-Tumbleweed-NET-x86_64-Current.iso.sha256 sha256sum: openSUSE-Tumbleweed-NET-x86_64-Snapshot20240701-Media.iso: No such file or directory openSUSE-Tumbleweed-NET-x86_64-Snapshot20240701-Media.iso: FAILED open or read sha256sum: WARNING: 1 listed file could not be read The files downloaded from the mirror are: $ l total 285708 drwxr-xr-x 2 david david 4096 Jul 3 11:12 . drwxr-xr-x 8 david david 4096 Jul 3 11:10 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 david david 292552704 Jul 1 10:20 openSUSE-Tumbleweed-NET-x86_64-Current.iso -rw-r--r-- 1 david david 124 Jul 3 11:12 openSUSE-Tumbleweed-NET-x86_64-Current.iso.sha256 So it seems a filename needs updating, but the checksum is correct: $ cat openSUSE-Tumbleweed-NET-x86_64-Current.iso.sha256 bc7ebc94525724d23fdf6b3bd2cdf841a4f3d17b3106ba56f0b9c7b74c7a527d openSUSE-Tumbleweed-NET-x86_64-Snapshot20240701-Media.iso $ sha256sum openSUSE-Tumbleweed-NET-x86_64-Current.iso bc7ebc94525724d23fdf6b3bd2cdf841a4f3d17b3106ba56f0b9c7b74c7a527d openSUSE-Tumbleweed-NET-x86_64-Current.iso Or automated: $ fn=openSUSE-Tumbleweed-NET-x86_64-Current.iso [ "$(sha256sum "$fn" | awk 'FNR==1{print $1}')" = \ "$(awk 'FNR==1{print $1}' "$fn.sha256")" ] || printf "checksum comparison failed\n"; unset fn Looking forward to moving to slow-roll after install -- David C.

mozilla repo has FF 115.13.0 and 128.0 esr and dups to 128 for TW (not backwards compatible)
by David C. Rankin 15 Jul '24

15 Jul '24

TW users, Small note. I noticed Firefox 115.13.0 was in the mozilla repo and ready to install (which I had been waiting for). So I did zypper dup. To my surprise, 128.0esr was installed instead of 115.13. No problem, a quick downgrade should do. BAM == "Warning you are launching an older version of firefox that will corrupt bookmarks, etc.." WTF? Apparently, the 115 to 128 update is not reversible from the Firefox profile standpoint -- so if you wish to stay with 115.13 - install it explicitly. I'll just stick with the 128 - not worth jacking with profiles just to stay on the same major version. But, it would be nice to have some type warning before irreversible changes are made to the FF profile -- like a dialog before the changes -- to preserve the ability to stay with a major version -- if needed. Here, there probably won't be too many more 115 updates, but still a surprise. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Why does mozilla repo have FF 115.12.0 for 15.4 and 115.11.0 for TW?
by David C. Rankin 15 Jul '24

15 Jul '24

All, Devs, Wolfgang, I found a seeming contradiction in Firefox versioning between Leap 15.4 and Tumbleweed in the mozilla repository. The following versions are current: Leap 15.4 - Firefox 115.12.0esr Tumbleweed - Firefox 115.11.0esr Is this just a timing thing where TW will be updated but just hasn't been built yet, or is there a dependency issue causing problems? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Shim error message about "blocked executable in ESP"
by Stakanov 15 Jul '24

15 Jul '24

Question: does Tumbleweed by chance uses "boot-repair" by default? I ask this because of: https://github-wiki-see.page/m/fwupd/fwupd/wiki/Blocked-executable-in-the-E… I have here a machine the continues to complain about: Blocked executable in the ESP, ensure grub and shim are up to date: /boot/efi/ EFI/grub/shim.efi Authenticode checksum [be435df7cd28aa2a7c8db4fc8173475b77e5abf392f76b7c76fa3f698cb71a9a] is present in dbx As there is no dual boot, it could be a similar issue. If anybody knows I am taker, thanks.

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?

Yast-Firewall - shouldn't it restart firewall when changes are made?
by David C. Rankin 15 Jul '24

15 Jul '24

All, I rarely mess with the firewall in Yast, so this may be expected behavior. I made changes to allow remote LAN connections to a postgresql database. The connections failed claiming port 5432 wasn't open on my laptop. I used Yast firewall to put the wireless connection on "home", set it as default and added postgresql to the allowed services and clicked "Accept". The remote connections continued to fail, so I used netstat to check whether the port was open with: $ sudo netstat -tulpn | grep LISTEN Neither postgresql or port 5432 was shown. This seemed bizarre. So I manually restarted firewalld (e.g. sudo systemctl restart firewalld) and bingo, the port was open. Isn't Yast-Firewall supposed to restart firewalld after changes are made? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

bluetoothctl power on fails, KDE GUI works ?
by Markus Feilner 12 Jul '24

12 Jul '24

Hi, what is the difference between "bluetoothctl power on" and the "Activate Bluetooth" Switch in KDE's GUI? Only the latter works for me after boot. Once activated through the GUI, also bluetootctl will work fine. I want to have it active on boot, thus I need the script command...

Latest cinelerra release is for 15.2 - will this work for TW?
by David C. Rankin 11 Jul '24

11 Jul '24

All, I know the short answer is to "try it", but for the devs familiar with the library changes between 15.2 and TW, is there anything that would be a showstopper for installing the latest cinelerra from: https://cinelerra-gg.org/download/pkgs/leap15.2 That worked fine on 15.4. Unless there is a known ABI/API break between 15.4 and TW, I'll give it a go (so long as there are no conflicting libraries, etc.) Yell, if this is inadvisable. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Is there a cross-arm-none-eabi-gcc for Tumbleweed?
by David C. Rankin 10 Jul '24

10 Jul '24

All, I need cross-arm-none-eabi-gcc for Tumbleweed. I've found community packages, but wonder if there is a Tumbleweed (or slowroll) recommended place to get these packages from. I had planned to convert to slowroll, but the wiki says that may not be advisable if you use repositories that don't provide a slowroll repo. mozilla doesn't, so I'm trying to be careful about where I draw packages from. Any recommendation on where to grab the gcc arm-none-eabi package? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
