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

Tumbleweed - Old Friend (man bashbuiltins) Not There ??
by David C. Rankin 24 Aug '24

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.

Fwd: Re: [openSUSE/distribution-logos] Logo proposal (Issue #11)
by Lukáš Krejza 23 Aug '24

23 Aug '24

Dear list, Dear Jay, @Jay at first, I would like to congratulate to Jay Michalska as a new Master Leader of openSUSE. @others Secondly, I would like to express my love and gratitude to many people from the openSUSE community I had the honor to meet, I won't list names here, but I am sure many of you know :) . openSUSE was basically part of most of my life and the community and people from it has inspired me in numerous ways in my life, not only career / libre software part of it. But sadly, It seems it has gone to the point, where negatives (that have nothing to do with people mentioned in previous paragraph) are just bigger than the positives. For me, this is the renowned final straw. I had come to conclusion, that logical way forward in my life is to switch main distribution after 20 years and find alternative for OBS, which will be hard, but sometimes things are not easy :) . So this is my farewell and my sincerest thanks <3 I am unsubscribing from the lists after sending this e-mail, so do not expect me to comment more on this. I wish openSUSE only the brightest future. I am sure we will meet again some time :) .

Questionable problems with Tumbleweed snapshot 20240731 (Mostly-Solved):
by -pj 23 Aug '24

23 Aug '24

Hi, I am running openSUSE Tumbleweed on a machine with Nvidia G05 drivers. Machine was unable to boot to graphical target..... I just learned that Nvidia G05 driver is not supported with the 6.10.2-1 kernel as of yet. So adjusted Grub2, to booting with 6.9.9-1 and do now reach graphical target. A noticeable problem now is *not* having a rollback option available in the boot menu anymore. During the previous 'zypper dup' there was an error with a grub filename of sorts, that was unable to (r, retry) successfully. I aborted, powercycled then ran "zypper dup" again... I powercycled again and then passed 'zypper -vvv dup' with "Nothing to do" reported. When passing '# snapper list' the output shows many snapshots. Can you tell me how to recover the snapshot entry option for boot menu? I have attempted regenerating initrd > 'dracut --regenerate-all --force' *and* update grub > 'grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg' , powercycled and still no rollback option exists any longer. Also have attempted to pass > # zypper in --force grub2 grub2-branding-openSUSE grub2-i386-pc grub2-i386-pc-extras grub2-snapper-plugin grub2-systemd-sleep-plugin ruby3.3-rubygem-cfa_grub2 After powercycle, It appears the machine is now displaying 'boot from read-only snapshot' option again. If I *did not* pass 'zypper se -i grub*' , I would not have seen the possible culprit being package 'grub2-snapper-plugin'. Why did this happen? Those packages are now marked with 'i+', user installed *not* 'i' installer, as shown before. Is this an issue? Now the largest question I am left with about this is. Are there other packages installed on the machine that need to be installed again with force possibly? I recently passed '# zypper install --force sane-airscan' to correct 'airscan-discover' for some reason. I have passed 'zypper ve' > Dependencies of all installed packages are satisfied. How can I track down these partially, non-functional incorrectly installed packages? -Greatest Hopes🫥

Need help with a laptop that will only run Plasma/Wayland
by Marc Chamberlin 23 Aug '24

23 Aug '24

I have an ASUS laptop that normally is running in a remote location. The trouble is, is that it will only start up the Plasma/Wayland desktop and I need it to bring up the Plasma/X11 desktop instead. (I use x11vnc for remote desktop access purposes, and x11vnc won't talk with Wayland AFAIK, and yes I must run both the x11vnc server as well as clients on the laptop) The laptop is running under OpenSuSE 15.5 x64 with the KDE desktop manager. When I try to use the Plasma/X11 desktop, after a reboot I reach the KDE login screen OK. If I choose to log in with the Plasma/X11 desktop, after entering my login name and password, the screen just goes blank for a moment, then cycles back and re-brings up the login/password screen again. Apparently the Plasma/X11 version of the desktop is not accepting my login credentials for some reason. However, if I choose to brings up the Plasma/Wayland desktop, my login credentials work just fine and the desktop comes up OK. I have no idea how to go about debugging and solving this problem, log files seem unhelpful with nothing much amiss, and DuckDuckGo internet searching ain't bringing no joy either. I would rather not apply a single case workaround either, I like to keep all my systems I support, as consistent as possible. Anyone up for helping me to get this beast of a laptop to behave itself. As always, my thanks and appreciation are offered in advance. Marc... --
