TW - estimate for download.nvidia.com/opensuse/tumbleweed update for 6.10 kernel?
by David C. Rankin 10 Aug '24

10 Aug '24

Devs, Just checking in on if we have an estimate yet on when the Nvidia drivers will be updated for the 6.10 kernel for Tumbleweed? I've been watching the repo for change for the past several weeks expecting an update anytime. In the interim, I've set up a local repo with packages Patrick was kind enough to build with the 6.10 patch for G04 (390.xx) and G05 (470/535) drivers, but with Tumbleweed being a rolling release, I kind of expected the driver updates to at least be within a week of when the new kernel appears in the update repos. Any thought on when the official TW Nvidia repo will be updated with drivers for the current TW kernel? My intent is to keep my TW install as official as possible to prevent random rolling surprises along the way. That seems to be the best policy with rolling-releases. I've got Arch installs that have rolled along since July 2011 sticking to that principal. Anyway, this isn't a complaint, I'm just trying to get an idea when I can switch packages back to the official repo? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

TW kde-Live not booting into (nvidia) GUI
by bent fender 09 Aug '24

09 Aug '24

I burned a DVD from Tumbleweed Live iso: openSUSE-Tumbleweed-KDE-Live-x86_64-Snapshot20240807-Media.iso Mobo is Asus Crosshair-IV Formula (bios 3029, the last one). Video card is (temporarily) Nvidia Gk-107 (GeForec GT-640). Disconnected all media except the USB DVD drive. The DVD boots and I select the top entry "KDE Live". The kernel loads but there in so GUI display, i.e. there's NOTHING on the monitor after the text echo run. I thought the Nvidia driver issue had been fixed (IF that's what my problem is).

Tumbleweed - Print help from Gtk apps? Is /etc/printcap still used? What print config does Gtk want?
by David C. Rankin 06 Aug '24

06 Aug '24

All, Linux printing has always just worked for my Laserjets. I have a remote cups server that handles sending print jobs to an attached printer. This has been a great setup. In 15.4, I had no problem printing from any app, Gtk, Qt/KDE, command-line, it all worked. In Tumbleweed, I copied my /etc/printcap file from 15.4, e.g. $ cat /etc/printcap # This file was automatically generated by cupsd(8) from the # /etc/cups/printers.conf file. All changes to this file # will be lost. HPLJ4200|HP LaserJet 4200 Series:rm=wizard:rp=HPLJ4200: rawqueue|Brother2360:rm=wizard:rp=rawqueue: The /etc/cups/printers.conf generated by TW does not have the Brother, but does have the LaserJet: # cat /etc/cups/printers.conf # Printer configuration file for CUPS v2.4.10 # Written by cupsd # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE WHEN CUPSD IS RUNNING NextPrinterId 3 <Printer CUPS-PDF> PrinterId 1 UUID urn:uuid:a21807af-ad74-367d-57be-d06283e78f2b Info CUPS-PDF MakeModel Generic CUPS-PDF Printer (w/ options) DeviceURI cups-pdf:/ State Idle StateTime 1720392176 ConfigTime 1720392176 Type 8450124 Accepting Yes Shared Yes JobSheets none none QuotaPeriod 0 PageLimit 0 KLimit 0 OpPolicy default ErrorPolicy stop-printer </Printer> <DefaultPrinter LaserJet> PrinterId 2 UUID urn:uuid:5b1d06f7-b810-35bc-49a8-47e1511cf4aa AuthInfoRequired none Info HP LaserJet 4200 Series Postscript (recommended) MakeModel HP LaserJet 4200 Series Postscript (recommended) DeviceURI ipp://192.168.6.17/printers/LaserJet State Idle StateTime 1722977095 ConfigTime 1722090452 Type 8425668 Accepting Yes Shared Yes JobSheets none none QuotaPeriod 0 PageLimit 0 KLimit 0 OpPolicy default ErrorPolicy stop-printer </DefaultPrinter> I have the LaserJet set up in Yast/Printer that has both of the printers in the printers.conf file listed as Local printers. KDE3 kprinter is fine printing to the LaserJet, but Gtk apps (LibreOffice, Firefox) cannot print. The lpq command is happy with the print queue: # lpq LaserJet is ready no entries But attempting to print from LibreOffice throws the error: "Could not start printer. Please check your printer configuration." What? I've just checked it all, it's good, why won't Libre of Firefox (Gtk apps) print? What configuration is it telling me to check? CUPS, Yast and kprinter are all happy? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

What is messing with my name resolution
by Klaus Vink Slott 05 Aug '24

05 Aug '24

Hi I have now run into at situation with some OpenSUSE machines on a friends network. They are on a separate LAN and a pfSense manages firewalling, dhcp and dns. Except that we have had one problem after another with the build in resolver. So I thought 🤔 how hard can it be to run your own resolver? I spun up another OpenSUSE with dnsmasq. I am new to dnsmasq but I don't think that's the problem. Now I can perform a dig command from another machine to my new resolver and get a answer immediately: localadm@sshgw:~> time dig @192.168.80.4 -x 192.168.80.8 +short sshgw.tier1.internal. real 0m0,033s .. localadm@sshgw:~> time dig @192.168.80.4 sshgw.tier1.internal. +short 192.168.80.8 real 0m0,033s No problem here, and I then went on to configure the networking on the other machines using yast and wicked in control. localadm@sshgw:~> cat /etc/resolv.conf # blabla search tier1.internal nameserver 192.168.80.4 localadm@sshgw:~> grep host /etc/nsswitch.conf hosts: files mdns_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns But when I test using using the host command: localadm@sshgw:~> host sshgw.tier1.internal. sshgw.tier1.internal has address 192.168.80.8 ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached It responds immediately with the correct answer, but then hangs a while before the timeout lines... I must have overlooked something basic, but what? -- Klaus

Unable to clone 2 terminals
by Marc Chamberlin 05 Aug '24

05 Aug '24

Hi, This might be an nVidia issue, but I am suspicious that it may have something to do with OpenSuSE 15.4 x86. I am running the KDE desktop with Plasma. I have two monitors that I want to be clones and show exactly the same display on both monitors. I have fiddled a LOT with the nVidia X Server Settings app but simply no joy. At this time I have the nVidia app configured, so that the X server display configuration is showing the two monitors, a Westinghouse and a Samsung monitor positioned on top of each (both at pos 0,0) and set with the same resolution of 1920 x 1080. What is happening is that the Samsung shows an extended portion of a desktop with the background image and desktop icons placed there. The Westinghouse shows a desktop with no background image and is where the kicker bar and all my window shells are showing up. The only thing that can interact with these two desktops is the mouse cursor. I can move the mouse cursor from one monitor's desktop to the other monitors desktop, but nothing else. The reason I am suspicious of OpenSuSE or perhaps KDE, is that in the Systems Settings -> Display and Monitor -> Display Configuration, ONLY the Westinghouse monitor is shown and is configurable. There is nothing shown for the Samsung monitor. So apparently nVidia's X Server tool is capable of seeing both monitors and allowing each of them to be configured, the KDE Systems Settings tool cannot see the Samsung terminal. Seems wrong to me! Here is my current version of my xorg.conf file with most of the comments removed to reduce the clutter. # nvidia-settings: X configuration file generated by nvidia-settings # nvidia-settings: version 470.223.02 Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Layout0" Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 Screen 1 "Screen1" 0 0 InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer" Option "Xinerama" "0" EndSection Section "Files" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse0" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "yes" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard0" Driver "kbd" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor0" VendorName "Unknown" ModelName "Westinghouse Digital Electronics LVM-42w2" HorizSync 30.0 - 80.0 VertRefresh 60.0 - 75.0 Option "DPMS" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor1" VendorName "Unknown" ModelName "SAMSUNG" HorizSync 15.0 - 68.0 VertRefresh 24.0 - 75.0 Option "DPMS" EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Device0" Driver "nvidia" VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation" BoardName "Quadro K420" BusID "PCI:3:0:0" EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Device1" Driver "nvidia" VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation" BoardName "Quadro K420" BusID "PCI:4:0:0" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Device0" Monitor "Monitor0" DefaultDepth 24 Option "AllowEmptyInitialConfiguration" "on" Option "Stereo" "0" Option "nvidiaXineramaInfoOrder" "DFP-0" Option "metamodes" "1920x1080_60i +0+0" Option "SLI" "Off" Option "MultiGPU" "Off" Option "BaseMosaic" "off" SubSection "Display" Depth 24 EndSubSection EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen1" Device "Device1" Monitor "Monitor1" DefaultDepth 24 Option "AllowEmptyInitialConfiguration" "on" Option "Stereo" "0" Option "metamodes" "1920x1080 +0+0 {AllowGSYNC=Off}" Option "SLI" "Off" Option "MultiGPU" "Off" Option "BaseMosaic" "off" SubSection "Display" Depth 24 EndSubSection EndSection Much appreciate and thanks up front for all your suggestions, I am stumped on this problem.

Purging unneeded packages and dependencies:
by -pj 04 Aug '24

04 Aug '24

Hi, I am wondering about how I should best go about purging packages and possibly dependencies along with what is displayed after passing 'zypper pa --unneeded'. I can use 'zypper remove --clean-deps' to remove the package along with it's uneeded dependencies or set 'solver.cleandepsOnRemove = true' in '/etc/zypp/zypp.conf'. Is it safe to set solver to clean up the dependencies on package removal in '/etc/zypp/zypp.conf' ? Can you tell me why it may be a bad idea to do this? I recently used 'zypper rm packagenames' to remove packages that 'zypper pa --unneeded' displayed on a machine without removing any dependent packages. I am working with another machine now and when I passed 'zypper pa --unneeded' the list is once again quite extensive > https://paste.opensuse.org/pastes/2824e60628ce What do you recommend with this situation. Are there negative impacts waiting for the machines user/s or operating system (Tumbleweed) if all the packages shown in the susepaste are purged? Thanks
