drkonqi-coredump-launcher

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

WDE does not work with a Swedish laptop during setup and install. After installing you have to use an english character layout on a swedish character layout. It needs to be fixed. OpenSUSE needs to use the character layout of the keyboard being used for encryption purposes like debian and fedora. Or you need an english laptop.

What are packages openSUSE-repos-MicroOS and openSUSE-repos-MicroOS-NVIDIA?
by David C. Rankin 27 Aug '24

27 Aug '24

Devs, Recently there have been posts about removing openSUSE-repos-XXX to improve mirror performance and allow listing additional mirrors in the baseurl= option. What are these packages and why or why not to remove them? Why can't I just add the nvidia repo as a normal repo as we have always done? What is the benefit of these -repo packages? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

bug or freature? tty - perf: ....
by Simon Becherer 27 Aug '24

27 Aug '24

Hi, up to date tumbleweed: i have a small opensuse without graphic, logging into tty1 there was a very old tumbleweed (3-4 years old, before updating this machine) behavior changed: when i use heavy load to the processor (here i pbzip2 a whole disk) i got on screen the messages (and similar messages): [1580-1618057] [ C6] perf: interrupt took to long (2503>2500), lowering kernel.perf.event_max_sample_rate to 798000 when i remember correct, the message itself is nothing to care about. BUT why is this message not (only) written inside a log file? why did this interrupt my screen output? is there something i have to configure, or why is this now on screen. on the old system it was not on screen. and i think it should not be there interrupting the output (as example if working with mc everything will be messed up) any hints? or should i open a bug report? simoN -- www.becherer.de

I assume so without really knowing the whole thing.

ssh:... Connection refused
by Wolfgang Mueller 26 Aug '24

26 Aug '24

Recently, I installed Leap 15.6 on one of my two computers and gave it the name "azure", "az" and the IP address 192.168.2.17. Then, from my other computer, which still carries Leap 15.2, I tried to reach it by the command "ssh az", getting the error message: "ssh: connect to host az port 22: Connection refused" Analogous error messages I get for "ssh azure" and "ssh 192.168.2.17", as to be expected. I have already checked the .ssh root and user directories and /etc/ssh on both of my computers, not finding anything wrong. What else can I do for getting ssh access to my computer "az"? Thanks in advance and best regards, Wolfgang

Problem with Chinese opensuse mirrors
by chandan 26 Aug '24

26 Aug '24

Hello In India in a alot of networks alot of chinese domains and ip addresses are blocked for obvious reasons. While this is a minor inconvenience when using zypper or yast ( it does slow down because most of the chinese mirrors are blocked, yet they come up because India is geographically closer to China.) The web is another story. for example if i want to download a package from say libtool from; https://software.opensuse.org/package/libtool this sends me to https://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/opensuse/tumbleweed/repo/oss/x86_64/li… ALWAYS. which obviously does not open. no other mirror is selected. and i cant download any thing. its as good as dead. any solution to this? this whole geographically close thing does not work. thanks chandan

Bitlocker Surprise!
by Lew Wolfgang 25 Aug '24

25 Aug '24

Hi Folks, One of my users connected a portable disk to his Leap 15.6 system that had an encrypted partition from a Windows Bitlocker pea sea. KDE announced the connection and prompted for the Bitlocker password! It worked! I've used Dislocker in the past, but had no idea it was built into KDE nowadays. I thought I'd mention it here in case others haven't heard about it either. Regards, Lew
