Firefox opens pdf files differently depending on pdf version
by mh＠mike.franken.de 04 Dec '23

04 Dec '23

Hi, on one of my Tumbleweed machines Firefox opens pdf files differently depending on pdf version: - PDF document, version 1.4 opens in ocular - PDF document, version 1.6 (zip deflate encoded) opens in gvim I didn't find any file, where gVim is associated with any pdf mime type. Any idea how to get Firefox to open all pdf files in ocular? TIA. Bye. Michael.

how to clear dolphin password after failed sftp login?
by Daniel Bauer 04 Dec '23

04 Dec '23

Good morning! I use dolphin to manage my files on my web-server and connect with sftp://... Then (only the first time after boot) a dialog appears to enter my password. Dolphin remembers the password until I reboot my machine and when ever I go to that sftp://user@url again I don't have to enter the password again. So far perfect. The problem occurs when I enter a wrong password. Then dolphin shows a red line "connection failed", but there is no way (...I found no way...) to make dolphin show me the password dialog again to enter the correct password. Even worse: it seems that dolphin tries several times with the wrong password, so many times, that my server blocks the ssh login for some hours. I tried to log out/log in here on the local machine, but dolphin still tries with that wrong password. It seems I'd have to shutdown and boot again so that dolphin forgets. How can I clear dolphins password memory so that it shows me the password dialog again, without rebooting? Can you help me?

mdraid scrubbing collides with iscsi
by Per Jessen 04 Dec '23

04 Dec '23

I have a new storage server running LIO as an iscsi target. Disk space is a RAID6 array, 12 x 2Tb drives under mdraid, managed under LVM. Since we moved to this config, a couple of months back, I have had issues roughly every Monday, continuing on to middle of the week. iscsi volumes are unmounted, or go read-only. It turns out to be the Sunday run of mdcheck "MD array scrubbing". It is supposedly limited to 6 hours, which is fine, but my client systems have died long before that. Every day an mdcheck_continue runs at 0105, to resume the scrubbing. Has anyone else experienced this and if so, what did you do? is there maybe a way of running the scrubbing "in the background", letting iscsi services take priority? As it is, it simply doesn't work. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (0.9°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - your free DNS host, made in Switzerland.

Leap 15.5 KDE - Shaky video
by James Knott 01 Dec '23

01 Dec '23

I did a fresh install of 15.5 on my computer a few days ago and since then I've noticed something strange with some YouTube videos. The people in the video sometimes appear to "shake". I have never seen anything like this before. This is on a Gigabyte H77M-DH3 motherboard, with built in video. Any ideas? BTW, didn't there used to be something in Yast that displayed hardware info? I was planning on using it to provide more info about my system.

openSuse 15.5 KDE & Virtualbox Windows 10 can't log in
by James Knott 29 Nov '23

29 Nov '23

I have a Windows 10 VM (previously Windows 7), which has run well in the past several versions of openSuse. However now, when I try to run it, it opens to the point where I have to hit enter to get the password box, but as soon as I do that, the screen briefly shows the login screen and then reverts back to where it was. Also, I don't see Virtual Box on the taskbar. Any ideas? tnx jk

Multiple open windows, click on task bar app. - Leap 15.5 KDE
by James Knott 28 Nov '23

28 Nov '23

Previously, when I had multiple windows of an app, such as Firefox open, there would be one item on the task bar for it and when I clicked on it, I would get a list of the open windows, so I could select one. Now, when I click on the task bar item, it cycles through the open windows, one at a time. Is there any way to restore this to the way it used to be? tnx jk

Installed Leap 15.5 - browsers can't access sites
by James Knott 28 Nov '23

28 Nov '23

I just installed Leap 15.5 KDE and find I cannot access many web sites. For example, I can reach Google or openSUSE, but not mozilla.org or thestar.com. This happens with both Firefox & Chromium. Any ideas? tnx jk

No Login, no Graphics after update to Tumbleweed 20230211-0
by Peter Maffter 28 Nov '23

28 Nov '23

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.

Please help. Thanks in advance BR Pete
