nvidia g05 or nouveau in TW Live/Install?
by bent fender 05 Sep '24

05 Sep '24

My nvidia gt640 video card is temporarily re-installed after the AMD card went kaput. The TW install and Live DVD's both boot but end up with a black screen after the last HDMI symbol appears. The DVD continues reading but the prog is unaware that I can't see anything. I thought that the installers and Live media could work with any card. What are my options to recover the installation and use it with this card UFN?

Why doesn't TW configure resume from swap by default?
by David C. Rankin 03 Sep '24

03 Sep '24

Devs, I put my computer to sleep yesterday only to find it would not wake from sleep forcing a hard reset. Checking the config, there was no resume=/dev/by/uuid/..... configured. Leap 15.4 configured this automatically. Is there a reason why TW doesn't configure resume? It was quite a shock to have this laptop, that has always woken from sleep without issue suddenly die trying to wake. Where/how did resume not get set? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

by Simon Becherer 31 Aug '24

Hi, i have a strange problem: yast2 software / repositories i like to add a new repo: add / specify url / next repository name: openSUSE_Tumbleweed-home-Herbster0815-androidstudio url: https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/Herbster0815/openSUSE_Tumb… next emidiatley i am back inside configure software repositorys normalls it shoult download the specific stuff here. i do NOT see the new repo. [OK] / closing yast zypper lr did not show me the repo. inside /etc/zypp/servcices.d/ i have a file service.service contend: [service] enabled=1 autorefresh=1 url = https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/Herbster0815/openSUSE_Tumb… type = N/A now: yast2 software /repositories error message appears: Errors occurred while restoring the repository configuration. Error refreshing service service (https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/Herbster0815/openSUSE_Tumb…) [service:openSUSE:Tumbleweed|https://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/o…] Repository already exists. [contignue] now i have a lot of never configured repos installed: 17 | service:KDE:Qt6 | service:KDE:Qt6 | Ja | ( p) Ja | Ja 18 | service:KDE:Unstable:Applications | service:KDE:Unstable:Applications | Ja | ( p) Ja | Ja 19 | service:KDE:Unstable:Extra | service:KDE:Unstable:Extra | Ja | ( p) Ja | Ja 20 | service:KDE:Unstable:Frameworks | service:KDE:Unstable:Frameworks | Ja | ( p) Ja | Ja 21 | service:KDE:Unstable:Qt | service:KDE:Unstable:Qt | Ja | ( p) Ja | Ja 22 | service:home:Herbster0815 | service:home:Herbster0815 | Ja | ( p) Ja | Ja 23 | service:openSUSE:Tumbleweed | service:openSUSE:Tumbleweed | Ja | ( p) Ja | Ja also shown by zypper lr other tumbleweed systems did NOT show this behavior. trying with zypper to remove number 17 (first of this repo) deletes number 16 my normal tumbleweed update repo. whats going on here? i have no idea, i found that there was in end of 2023 start of 2024 a problwm regarding yast softwaremanagement here is the list of updates of this vomputer: 20240826 20240625 20240617 20240613 20240517 20240419 20231001 20230904 because i think it could be possible that somewhere a config file will be not repaired after a bad update? in begin of 2024 there where some problems regarding zypper softwaremanagement. again, other of my systems, updated not equal to this, show absolute normal behavior, and add the repo correct. simoN -- www.becherer.de

Not using UEFI at all, I think the Corosshair-IV-Formula board supports it but can't really say. > How exactly did this "install DVD" come into possession? Downloaded and burned .iso of DVD image? Details please. Written to DVD? Written to USB? What program did you write with? Purchased somewhere? Same as always, including the last ten or so that didn't work - Download from suse using gftp - Burn image to DVD+R with k3b - this last one was: openSUSE-Tumbleweed-DVD-x86_64-Snapshot20240827-Media.iso I always use 'verify data' but this time verification did dot take place; it didn't fail, just never happened. Not a factor since this has been going on for months and all the previopus DVD writes verified OK. Your earlier suggestion to append 3 and/or nomodeset to the linux line in the grub stanza DID improve things a bit. I got a localhost login so I logged in as root and called sddm. Then I logged in as my standard dummy user "u0" and got plasma up and running with no issues. But for UserMe I first verified that the data partition where that home is stored on a 4tb ssd and linked to from /home/UserMe was in fact mounted: it was. Then I tried to log in as UserMe and got the same result as when I did a chroot: no login and returned to sddm. I call xeyes in .profile I think and xeyes flashes momentarily as well as some color bars like a comb but no plasma. I cannot launch Artix either, TW and Artix are my only two installs using plasma. TW is my only install with systemd, probably unrelated but TW has often been problematic with my nvidia card, not suse if Artix is/was using nouveau. Slakware, Devuan are using XFCE, VoidLinux isn't GUI yet, these three definitely do not and never have used nvidia drivers but all worked and still do except Artix. I haven't tried the nomodeset bit with Artix yet. But there is a difference when I chroot into Artix: after first logging in as dummy user u0 I see the data partition mounted because it was mounted in Slackware from where I chrooted. KDF shows it containing nothing. I mount it again and thereupon KDF shows it xy% full. I log out and try my UserMe login and this is where Artix differs from TW: I do get plasma up. > > What exactly happens when you try to boot your "install DVD"? Do you use your BBS menu for choosing what to boot? Details please.. I use the grub menu, sometimes edited or done full manual. Since TW was my go2 system I did grub with it but with no TW and no new grubbies the other systems boots started falling apart as well, this got fixed a couple days ago when I got Yast up in a chrooted TW and redid the whole ritual. It's been another VERY long day, later :-)

by Peter McD 29 Aug '24

29 Aug '24

Hi, Presently I use amdgpu-pro-23.40.2_SLES_15_sp_5 in Leap 15.5. I would like to upgrade from Leap 15.5 to Leap 15.6, but I wonder whether the current amdgpu-pro driver 24.10.3 for SLED/SLES 15 SP 5, release date 6/19/2024 works in Leap 15.6. Any information on that? cu Peter

Packman horribly slow from US, 16.0KiB/s - that's 1/2 of 33.6 baud modem dial-up speed....
by David C. Rankin 28 Aug '24

28 Aug '24

Devs, Not sure if packman is just out of bandwidth or what the issue is, but TW updates take forever, e.g. Retrieving: librist4-0.2.7-1699.1.pm.25.x86_64.rpm ....................................<86%>=======[| (16.0 KiB/s)] That is 1/2 of what a 33.6 dial-up modem will do over an old land-line. (it used to take Friday - Sunday to download SUSE over a modem - and pray a disconnect didn't occur :) Are there any additional resources that may help this situation? I think it is pulling from gwdg.de, but even then the pipe should be bigger than 16.0 KiB/s. Ideas? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Tumbleweed - dracut update on dup tonight failed to start WiFi on reboot?
by David C. Rankin 28 Aug '24

28 Aug '24

Devs, Just did a zypper dup on Tumbleweed after removing the openSUSE-repo-xxx packages. openSUSE repos have much improved download speed ~1-5MB/s compare to the less than 100KB/s earlier. Packman still crawls at ~100KB/s, but that's just packman in the US. But dracut was updated, and during reboot I noticed a couple new errors splashed to the screen - too quick to read what they were, but when the desktop started -- it was clear, my WiFi connection was dead. Checking 'ip' it was dead. Going into Yast, the configuration was fine and simply clicking "edit" on my wireless connection and "next", "next", "Accept" brought the wireless connection up without problem. What to check to find the earlier errors and determine why, for the first time since Tumbleweed install, wireless failed to start on boot? Seems likely to be related to dracut or one of the libraries that was updated. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

So I guess we add "please reply to the list and not to me personally" to the list of requests.

drkonqi-coredump-launcher
by Roger Oberholtzer 28 Aug '24

28 Aug '24

I see a message like this in my system journal: Aug 28 08:44:12 acme drkonqi-coredump-launcher[4357]: Authorization required, but no authorization protocol specified It happens quite often (every couple minutes), and when it does, it repeats many many times. It happens when I am not doing anything. So it seems not to be related to my activity. Or at least not directly. I do not know when this started. I just noticed it today because I saw that systemd-journald is taking > 25% CPU time. And rsyslogd is also taking lots of time. That seems wrong. How can I find out what is triggering it? I tried drkonqi-coredump-gui, but it says "No crashes match the search". I don't really need the core dumps. Can this be disabled? I see references (Google) to services with related names (drkonqi-coredump*). But I do not see them on my system. I'm running Leap. It's not the most recent: 20230908. I will be doing an update at some time soon. -- Roger Oberholtzer
