RFC 6724
by James Knott 20 Aug '24

20 Aug '24

I was reading about proposed changes to RFC 6724 which determines the priority for IP address selection. In the original RFC 6724, IPv4 addresses are given preference to IPv6 Unique Local Addresses (ULA). The proposed changes would reverse that. However, in testing with ping, I see ULA is preferred, except for the computer being used for testing from. That is when a computer is pinging itself. Why the difference? Why is the proposed priority used when pinging a different device, but not the same device? Also, if I use the FQDN, instead of just the host name, then ULA is used. WTF??? I'm using the DNS resolver in pfSense. The host command returns both IPv4 and ULA addresses for both host name and FQDN Original - https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6724 Proposed - https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-6man-rfc6724-update/ Running openSUSE 15.5 & KDE.

What is required to migrate from /etc/hosts to DHCP
by J Leslie Turriff 20 Aug '24

20 Aug '24

Long ago (openSUSE 6.3?) when I had only one machine and an analog modem, I set up /etc/hosts to map my IP address; as time went on I added a router, a network printer, an OS-X machine, etc., but my network was small enough that I could manage the devices with /etc/hosts. Currently I have satellite IP routed through a NetGear WiFi router, in which I have assigned the static addresses in my /etc/hosts file, but I want to migrate to the StarLink system that I recently bought. Unfortunately, the StarLink system's built-in router is a Black Box :-( that only supports devices via DHCP. (It is already handling a WiFi laptop and several smart phones; the legacy devices on the NetGear router use an Ethernet network.) My question is, do I just have to use YaST LAN to switch my network setting from Static to DHCP, or are there other changes required? (Both routers use the same 192.168.x.x address range, so it seems to me that just moving the Ethernet cable from one router to the other without assigning a new address ought to work, but there is no way to talk to the StarLink router if there is an address collision with devices it has already assigned.) My /etc/hosts currently looks like this: | wd=~ | $ cat /etc/hosts | # | # hosts This file describes a number of hostname-to-address | # mappings for the TCP/IP subsystem. It is mostly | # used at boot time, when no name servers are running. | # On small systems, this file can be used instead of a | # "named" name server. | # Syntax: | # | # IPv4 Address Fully Qualified Hostname Short Hostnames | #------------- ------------------------ ------------------- | 127.0.0.1 localhost | # | 192.168.1.1 grey.sixys.site grey router <== NetGear | 192.168.1.2 pinto.sixys.site pinto desktop1 | 192.168.1.3 philips.sixys.site philips TV | 192.168.1.4 chestnut.sixys.site chestnut desktop2 | 192.168.1.5 black.sixys.site black windows | 192.168.1.6 charcoal.sixys.site charcoal dell | #92.168.1.7 unused | #92.168.1.8 unused | 192.168.1.9 palomino.sixys.site palomino server | 192.168.1.10 buckskin.sixys.site buckskin printer | #92.168.1.11 unused | 192.168.1.12 chrome.sixys.site chrome laptop1 | 192.168.1.13 pinto-foal.sixys.site pinto-foal UPS | 192.168.1.14 toreador.sixys.site toreador laptop2 | # | 192.168.100.1 blueroan.sixys.site blueroan downlink <== ViaSat | # | #============================================================ | # IPv6 Address Hostnames | #------------- --------------------------------------------- | ::1 localhost ipv6-localhost ipv6-loopback | | fe00::0 ipv6-localnet | | ff00::0 ipv6-mcastprefix | ff02::1 ipv6-allnodes | ff02::2 ipv6-allrouters | ff02::3 ipv6-allhosts | # | #============================================================ | # DNS Servers: | # 192.168.1.1 | 99.197.99.99 | 99.196.99.99 | #============================================================ | rc=0 | @01:34:39 leslie@pinto Leslie -- Platform: Linux Distribution: openSUSE Leap 15.6 - x86_64

Correct folder, file placement and Environment Variable for disabling QML cache in Plasma 6?
by -pj 20 Aug '24

20 Aug '24

Hi, Tumbleweed Plasma 6 here. Wondering if you know of the correct location for holding QT Plasma 6 QML Environment Variables? There has been a suggestion of '~/.config/environment.d/envvars.conf`. The directory does not exist by default. '/etc/environment' directory does not exist by default either so this very well could be the case. Suggested to me is "QML_DISABLE_DISK_CACHE=1" though I do not see that on the documentation page. Interested in variable to disable QML disk cache (bottom of page). Documentation reference:> https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qmldiskcache.html QML_DISABLE_DISK_CACHE No '=1' is shown in examples. Quote from page, "The primary way of fine tuning the behavior regarding ahead of time compiled code and caching is via the environment variable QML_DISK_CACHE. This variable takes a comma-separated list of options, for example:" 🫥

What's wrong with suse_paste.sh "Failed to get path for session '1"??

Devs, All, I'm getting strange output from suse_paste.sh when pasting. It can't find "session '1"? Here is what I get when pasting: Aug 17 15:34:58 - "Tideman W/Debug Output" tideman-fmt.c Pasted as: https://paste.opensuse.org/886f21092d86 Failed to get path for session '1 2': No session '1 2' known Graphics server not found.

gdb is horribly chatty and annoying in TW - adding config files helps
by David C. Rankin 18 Aug '24

18 Aug '24

All, Devs, I guess this option is supposed to be helpful, but gdb in TW chatty to the point of being annoying compiled with: --with-debuginfod (and I'm not sure which other options impact the amount of text shown at startup) This throws and huge amount of text into the terminal and totally scrambles kcrash backtraces until the debuginfo file is installed. For example, helping a user on SO with the cs50 tideman problem, starting gdb on TW results in: $ gdb -args ./tideman-fmt Alice Bob Charlie GNU gdb (GDB; openSUSE Tumbleweed) 14.2 Copyright (C) 2023 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

(y or [n]) y Debuginfod has been enabled. To make this setting permanent, add 'set debuginfod enabled on' to .gdbinit.

Breakpoint 1, main (argc=4, argv=0x7fffffffd888) at tideman-fmt.c:95 (gdb) Holy cow, and that is to just get started. That's annoying. But there are a couple of settings that can tame this down that should be considered for defaults, e.g. $ cat /etc/gdbinit set debuginfod enabled off and $ cat ~/.config/gdb/gdbearlyinit set startup-quietly on Now gdb behaves on startup and is nicely quiet: $ gdb -args ./test FOObar Reading symbols from ./test... (gdb) That's more like it. Personally I preferred when it just suggested the needed debuginfo file. That didn't require any addition of config files to quite it down. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

I know that. That is not the problem. I have to run gdb /usr/bin/vdpauinfo <core-file> which I understand will run vdpauinfo, then crash and generate a report and a coredump. But they tell me that <core-file> is from the previous crash! It doesn't make sense. I need the exact complete command sequence I have to run, or precise and complete instructions. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.5 x86_64 at Telcontar)
