imagemagick module not found
by Daniel Bauer 01 Nov '24

01 Nov '24

Hi, I have a simple script, used uncountable times since years, and now it doesn't work anymore, because a module isn't found. The command executed is: magick "image.JPG" -quality 50 -verbose "image.png" The answer is: magick: unable to load module '/usr/lib64/ImageMagick-7.1.1/modules-7_Q16HDRI10/coders/jpeg.la': file not found @ error/module.c/OpenModule/1293. magick: no decode delegate for this image format `JPEG' @ error/constitute.c/ReadImage/746. I just checked: the not found jpeg.la is where it should be, the rights are set correct. Any hints what could be the reason and how I could correct it? Thanks for your help. Daniel OS 15.5, KDE just forced to update all imagemagick stuff via Yast, the error persists -- Daniel Bauer photographer Basel Málaga Twitter: @Marsfotografo (often explicit nudes) https://www.patreon.com/danielbauer https://www.daniel-bauer.com (nudes)

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.

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.

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 :-)

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.

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

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.

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

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!

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

Tumbleweed - Old Friend (man bashbuiltins) Not There ??

24 Aug '24

Devs, Since I can remember, suse/opensuse has provided the convenience of collecting the bash builtin functions in a separate man page: $ man bashbuiltins On Tumbleweed, that results in: $ man bashbuiltins No manual entry for bashbuiltins Possibly, man page is not installed, try online at: https://manpages.opensuse.org/bashbuiltins It was there up though Leap 15.4. Anybody know what happened to it? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
