spam
by Dave Howorth 02 May '24

02 May '24

Today I have 5 spam messages, sent yesterday, addressed to users(a)lists.opensuse.org :( They are all sent by User-Agent: HyperKitty on https://lists.opensuse.org/ I've noticed previously that pretty much all the spam I receive from this list are sent in the same way. So if it's too much to ask that the filters for this source be made stricter, can I suggest that we simply ban people from submitting mail to the list in this way? Such traffic makes up less than 1% of the messages to the list, so we won't be losing much.

VirtualBox and Leap 15.5
by Fred 02 May '24

02 May '24

I finally got around to installing 15.5 on my main machine here (up from 15.0) and with all such changes there are bumps along the way. The latest was trying to get VirtualBox to recognize USB items. I went through all the known and suggested fixes, the obvious ones like permissions and group memberships, etc but absolutely nothing was making a difference, to the point I started thinking "bug". So, I tossed a hail mary <-- American football term - and downloaded the .rpm from Oracle and told it to install and overwrite all. It did and the USB problem disappeared. Bug squished. The VB version on the OS repositories sucks. I have arrived at 15.5 late in the game; everyone else was probably aware of this item but thought I would put it out to the group anyway, just in case someone may have missed it.

Mozilla's GUI (non)conformity
by Ben T. Fender 01 May '24

01 May '24

I use Plasma & XFCE depending on the booted distro and most non-KDE apps konform at least to some extent with the KDE desktop when KDE is used examples being Pan, Sylpheed, gftp and even nedit. The ONE set that is almost always problematic is anything Mozilla, Firefox in this particular case. I cannot change the title bar from black which just makes it impossible to distinguish from darker wallpapers, there being no way to select something with a contrasting window border either. How can I fix this?

Missing window frames on XFCE after update
by Robert Schweikert 01 May '24

01 May '24

Hi, I had to shutdown my machine due to impending power outage. Clever me I figured I'd update before shutdown to pick up whatever was new. Well, whatever is new since my last update on openSUSE Leap 15.5 messed up my XFCE settings. When I start a new application there are no window frames and everything starts in the upper left hand corner. Alt-Tab is not working to switch between apps Since there are no window frames I cannot move windows around. And there is only 1 workspace, albeit the workspace settings dialog shows that there should be 4, which is what I had setup prior to system shutdown. Any ideas? Thanks, Robert -- Robert Schweikert MAY THE SOURCE BE WITH YOU Distinguished Engineer LINUX rjschwei(a)suse.com IRC: robjo

Unable to start KDE Plasma X11 desktop
by Marc Chamberlin 30 Apr '24

30 Apr '24

I have a misbehaving laptop that no longer can bring up the KDE Plasma X11 desktop. On booting up, it reaches the KDE login prompt but after entering my credentials, it flashes a set of commands (too fast to read) and then goes back to the KDE login prompt. The credentials are correct and this happens no matter whether it is another user or root logging in. In searching through log files (messages, boot.log, warn etc.) the only clue that I found in in the Xorg.0.log file where I observed this very suspicious bit of nonsense. I would be happy to present the entire log but it is rather long, if that would be more helpful.

MozillaFirefox 125
by Jose Luis Alarcon Sanchez 29 Apr '24

29 Apr '24

Hi. I'm pretty new using openSUSE Tumbleweed. I want to ask you if the official firefox package is still on the version 124. I know i can use the common tar.bz2 tarball uncompressed into /opt for use firefox 125, but i always prefer use the official packages from the distro repos. My question: is gonna be soon packages for firefox 125?, maybe Tumbleweed skip certain releases of the browser?. I don't know so i ask. Thanks very much, in advance. Regards. Jose.

Plasma panel bug after recent update (Leap)
by gumb 29 Apr '24

29 Apr '24

Leap 15.5, Plasma 5.27.9, x11 A few weeks since I last did updates. Just applied all the current updates and now upon login to Plasma, the default panel doesn't always appear. Logged out and back in again, it was there. Hoped it was a one-off, buggy config update. After another reboot, it took 4 login attempts until I reached a desktop with the panel showing. All the items in the panel are there as per usual, nothing lost, but a PITA and waste of time to get there. Fortunately I often go a week or more without reboots so it won't happen so often. Anybody else has seen this, or knows of a bug or bugfix? I just applied a glut of updates from the last couple of months and didn't see anything particularly Plasma or KDE-related, so it's difficult to pinpoint which package might be responsible. gumb

plymouth.start.service log entry question.
by -pj 25 Apr '24

25 Apr '24

Hello, I am using openSUSE Tumbleweed 20240421 . I have noticed a log entry concerning 'plymouth.start.service' systemd[1]: /usr/lib/systemd/system/plymouth-start.service:15: Unit uses KillMode=none. This is unsafe, as it disables systemd's process lifecycle management for the service. Please update the service to use a safer KillMode=, such as 'mixed' or 'control-group'. Support for KillMode=none is deprecated and will eventually be removed. - Examining the service file shown below: cat plymouth-start.service [Unit] Description=Show Plymouth Boot Screen DefaultDependencies=no Wants=systemd-ask-password-plymouth.path systemd-vconsole-setup.service After=systemd-vconsole-setup.service systemd-udev-trigger.service systemd-udevd.service Before=systemd-ask-password-plymouth.service ConditionKernelCommandLine=!plymouth.enable=0 ConditionVirtualization=!container [Service] ExecStart=/usr/sbin/plymouthd --mode=boot --pid-file=/run/plymouth/pid --attach-to-session ExecStartPost=-/usr/bin/plymouth show-splash Type=forking RemainAfterExit=yes KillMode=none SendSIGKILL=no - Should I file a bug report about this this? There is a previous Bugzilla report filed on 11-06-21 https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1192412 and it has not yet been resolved upstream. What type of KillMode do you recommend for use with this this particular service? "mixed" and "control-group" options are shown above. Are there more options than those available for this situation? Could this be a reason/reasons why sometimes when the machine is shutdown the verbose shutdown messages hang for approximately one minute and 30 seconds? Displaying the following message > A stop job is running for User Manager for UID 1000 ...... -Regards

Hi, yesterday i updated one tumbleweed system to plasma 6 graphic: Radeon RX 7900XT 20GB open surce drivers could anybody tell me where i find the settings for the hardware accelleration? (switch on off, change driver) i was looking in systemsettings workspace behavior (and other places but did not find) .. at the moment i also did not find in plasma 5 but i remember somewhere there was this settings... and, i recognized that if i use x11 "glmark2" or "vkmark" will not work. one works the other not (i am on another system now, and i have forgotten which on.) with wayland both work. simoN -- www.becherer.de

ssh -X wayland
by Simon Becherer 23 Apr '24

23 Apr '24

Hi, thinking around because of updating the first tumbleweed machines to plasma 6 wayland (not connected to his here:) i have a setup: suse linux 10.1 (I586) as a virtual machine. there is running a proprietary (graphical) software, there is no way to get it at a more modern system running. i have to use this software on several other machines opensuse tumbleweed by accessing it with "ssh -X" (x11 forwarding) i do this since years, works perfect. so my question is, if i update now my tumbleweed systems will this still run if kde-plasma is finally switched to wayland? or how will it be possible to start the software multiple times on the virtual machine from different up to date tumbleweed systems (of course i need the graphical output)? anybody have similar systems/setup's and expirience? simoN -- www.becherer.de

Attempted start from Konsole by passing: # cpupower-gui -p resulting in a failure and output the same as shown in the log file.

Upgrade help
by Fred 21 Apr '24

21 Apr '24

Was running Leap 15.0. Made a backup (rsync) of /home. Tonight installed Leap 15.5. 2 questions: * how do I permanently mount /dev/sda1 as /home? Things have changed a bit since the last time I did that. * I had 2 instances of firefox in 15.0. When I start FF in 15.5, it has no idea about my profile. If I tell it to use what appears to be the correct one, FF argues, says I'm trying to run an old version and it will (maybe) corrupt my data and gives me 2 choices: make a new profile or quit. %$#@! How do I get FF to use my data: tabs, bookmarks, etc from 15.0? Oh, yeah - the 2 instances I had on 15.0? When I start FF it picks up the tabs from one (the wrong one, of course!). Maybe I am just tired but I could not figure it out so I'm reaching out. Thanks, Fred

Kernel updates 6.8.5 and 6.8.6 fail to decrypt root with systemd-boot
by Daniel Mader 21 Apr '24

21 Apr '24

Hi everyone, I'm using Tumbleweed with KDE Plasma 6 and full disk encryption with systemd-boot instead of Grub. This worked nicely until the last two kernel updates. Now, there is no password prompt during prompt for disk decryption with 6.8.5-1-default and 6.8.6-1-default. It still works with the older 6.8.4-rc1-default and previous, which are still available in the boot menu along with the btrfs snapshots (but it is not necessary to boot from am older snapshot). In general, I much like the systemd-boot approach for the single password prompt. With Grub, I need to enter the password twice. The boot messages are cluttered and messy, though, but I think this will improve over time. Any help or hint is appreciated. Thanks Daniel

Tumbleweed : Cannot find ksysguard anymore - is it gone? Libraries are all available and installed though.
by Stakanov 19 Apr '24

19 Apr '24

I have to setup a bug report and have to list multiple instances of kontakt opening for a specific user. Normally this was done comfortably with kysguard. But the fact is, although the libraries are installed, the program itself seems gone from the repos (or(!) the program is not functional, which then would grant a bug report). Is anybody able to start it in Tumbleweed?

dolphin and dicom files on nfs mounts
by mh＠mike.franken.de 16 Apr '24

16 Apr '24

Hi *, using dolphin I'd like to open dicom files from a locally mounted nfs share, but instead of opening the appropriate app (i.e. xmedcon), dolphin presents the "Choose Application" dialog. When opening the properties dialog of such a dicom file, it shows an unknown type, but dicom image as "content". Trying the same on a local filesystem, xmedcon is started directly, and the properties dialog shows DICOM image as "type" and "open with" xmedcon. With thunar for example the behaviour is the same for local or nfs filesystems. In both cases xmedcon is started on double clicking such a file. Any idea, what configuration for dolphin/plasma I am missing here? System is Tumbleweed with the latest snapshot. TIA. Bye. Michael.

[opensuse] Project management software question for project managers
by Ted Byers 15 Apr '24

15 Apr '24

I am looking for project management software I can install on my Suse box. Alas, there are quite a number of prducts that claim to be suitable project management products, but I am hoping to obtain a little help separating the wheat from the chaffe. Basically, when I open the project management software, I want to be able to choose from among a number of projects that are under way, and then see the relation between a client's wish list and the functional requirements specs, and then how these specs relate to the UML diagrams that have been created, and from there, what tasks have been defined for each requirement and the identity of all persons involved, the developers and their managers, and the person who designed the code that supports the requirement. And with that, I want to be able to see the project's timeline, the related bugs, &c. I would even want to be able to open the source code files and examine the code that was actually written. Here is my wish list: 1) a web application that stores data in either PostgreSQL or MySQL. 2) easy integration with UML tool (or has it's own UML tool that supports round trip engineering) 3) resource management (e.g. computers, and development tools, that can be used, personelle assigned to each task) 4) documentation of relation between functional requirements specs to specific tasks and specific unit and integration tests. 5) time/effort tracking 6) bug tracking, including data relating the existance of the bug, and effort required to fix it, to the person who wrote the original code, the person who supervised him or her, and the person who designed the 'feature' in question, the time taken to complete the original task, and the technologies used (to imprrove accountability as well as to determine retraining and continuing education needs (people aren't disposable, so instead of taking a harsh aproach to problems identified, I prefer to use education as a corrective, but I can't design corrective instruction without knowing precisely what the need is). I also need to know if a developer has a higher than normal bug rate simply because he doesn't take enough time to ensure the job is done right, or because I haven't adequately trained him, or because of a poor choice of tools, or somethng else that may be my fault. 7) use of task effort tracking history to generate provisional effort/cost estimates from new project's functional requirements 8) easy integration with open source ERP products like OFBiz (which may make trakcing resources and manpower easier, as well as connect real production data to the enterprise's accounting systems) 9) easy integration with CMS products, like Wordpress (especally for production documentation, includng degin documentation and user guides and reference manuals) 10) easy integration with verion control systems such as subversion. If there is a decent product that supports all of this, great (and language used to implement it doesn't matter), but if I have to write code to add missing requirements, then I am limited to those implemented using Perl or Java (and running on Tomcat). I don't know PHP well enough, and I don't know Ruby at all; and I really don't want to think about implementing this sort of thing in C++ (though I could if absolutely necessary). If you have project management experience, and use tools that are available for Suse Linux, what software product(s) did you use, and with what result? While I await relies, I will continue to review web documentation for those products I have found so far, to see if any of them are a) suitable for use in production and b) to see to what extent they support the features I am after. I have seen a number of products so far in my search, that deserve to be nameless, because they provide no way to relate cost estimates to one's team's track record, or to the details of the design, and seem satisfied with production of a pretty gantt chart (which is why I have formed the view that there is a whole lots of chaffe in the set of applications that call themselves project menement software - I have yet to find anything that really has the potential of being labelled wheat).

SOT: Thunderbird and AOL
by Jeffrey Taylor 14 Apr '24

14 Apr '24

My wife uses Thunderbird on Windows 11 for her e-mail. She uses the free AOL mail. For decades. Today, it stopped allowing outgoing mail. She called AOL help line. Some one using a script who didn't really understand whats going on. After she exhausted her script she started a hard sell for a paid plan. It appears to be only $4.99 a month. I'm unclear if subscribing, 3rd party e-mail clients are supported. The $4.99 paid plan, 2-step verification with a 6 digit code in a text message, or an app password. Does anyone have experience with any of these? TIA, Jeffrey

I can't install openSUSE on a Windows 11 Pro machine
by Bill Merriam 08 Apr '24

08 Apr '24

I just bought a computer that came preinstalled with Windows 11 pro. I have set the BIOS to boot to USB so I can install openSUSE. The machine ignores the USB drive. I think this is a security "feature" to prevent the installation of malware, which Microsoft defines as anything you didn't get from Microsoft. OpenSUSE uses a Microsoft signed "shim" for their software. I suspect this means they need to get it signed with the new signing keys. Can anyone confirm if this is the case??

xz security alert and CVE-2024-3094
by Ana Guerrero 06 Apr '24

06 Apr '24

Hi, If you're using an up-to-date Tumbleweed, please make sure to update as soon as possible your system. The latest versions of "xz" (5.6.0 and 5.6.1) contained malicious code ( refer to CVE-2024-3094 ) and the package in Tumbleweed has been reverted back to version 5.4. After reading this mail, please update your system and ensure you're downgrading xz to the version *5.6.1.revertto5.4. *This version despite**itsname is version 5.4. Last step is reboot your system. Hopefully we'll have soon more detailed information about this CVE. Have a nice weekend! Ana from the openSUSE release team.

KDE6 / Wayland remote desktop.
by Roger Oberholtzer 04 Apr '24

04 Apr '24

I know that remote desktops are still a moving target in Wayland. Out of curiosity I tried to access a remote desktop running in an up-to-date Tumbleweed system. I selected to start with what I had been using successfully previously. This message is just a status report on my use. And a request for suggestions as to how best to proceed. I always have this set up so the main desktop is shared. We mainly use this doing support. I use x11vnc on the remote desktop, with this command that starts when I access port 5900 (via an entry in xinetd): /usr/bin/x11vnc -inetd -rfbauth /etc/vncpasswd \ -o /var/log/x11vnc.log -display :0 \ -auth /run/sddm/{*-*-*-*-*} -env FD_XDM=1 \ -shared -forever My client command is: vncviewer -passwd /home/roger/.vncpasswd stingray:0 where stingray is the system sharing the desktop. I use x11vnc -storepasswd on the server, and vncpasswd on the client to manage the password. Prior to the update to KDE6, this had been working. I suspect that the change to Wayland in the update has broken things. I expected that. It is not a total failure. When I connect, the password and other things still work. I get a window that is the expected size (a laptop with an external display sized window). Unfortunately the window contents are fully black. Moving the mouse or pressing a key does not make a change. I suspect that I need to move away from X (x11vnc after all) and start investigating Wayland compatible solutions. Are there any? Especially ones that work as I am - share the existing desktop? Other than this and the odd decision of KDE to no longer disable a touchpad when a mouse is connected, KDE6/Wayland seems to be working fine for my uses. -- Roger Oberholtzer

Unable to change e-mail on buildservice - had to use portal?
by David C. Rankin 03 Apr '24

03 Apr '24

Per, all, Is there are reason we cannot update e-mail on buildservice? I tried, but ended up having to use the portal that had a very odd interface: https://idp-portal.suse.com/univention/self-service/#page=profiledata I recall that info being modifiable in buildservice before (or am I just senile?) It would have been set back in July 2008 according to keepassxc? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[oS-EN] AppStream
by Carlos E. R. 01 Apr '24

01 Apr '24

Hi, On the openSUSE package search page, https://search.opensuse.org/packages/ (which has no entry for Leap 15.5 yet) I get a button named [AppStream Install]. Clicking there nothing happens. The URL is: appstream://com.github.louis77.tuner Obviously, FF doesn't know what to do with that, and doesn't even say I don't know what this is. The wiki page on it: https://en.opensuse.org/AppStream Doesn't provide useful information, like how to install such a package on Leap or what to do with FF. I have done this on another computer, but I'm not on that location and don't have my notes on it. Google wants to teach me on how to create them, which is not what I want. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from Elesar, using openSUSE Leap 15.5)

I want to try Leap or Tumbleweed MICRO but without every one of these packages it would not be timely yet. Is there a list of already available flatpacks? qjckctl qsynth rosegarden audacity kdenlive simplescreenrecorder vlc sonic-visualiser hydrogen ZAFS-dssi yoshimi Another question, since TW is NOT a stable system but MICRO is advertised as an extremenly stable one, how are we to think of TW-Micro?

No Login, no Graphics after update to Tumbleweed 20230211-0
by Peter Maffter 30 Mar '24

30 Mar '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 got an error on dup to 20240325. Is this something that I need to fix? I'm using ext4 for root, maybe that's a factor. After the dup, the system rebooted OK.

Ooops!
by Fred 27 Mar '24

27 Mar '24

Never play computer when tired. It said, 40 updates available, so I said ok and went back to my surfing. A bit later I checked and it said, reboot is needed, so I did but the #$%^#! system wouldn't come back up. So I then began trying to remember how to roll back updates. Then I thought about my system install flash drive, unplugged the one with my movies and, for some unknown reason I hit the reset again and POOF! It booted up. Stupid system was trying to boot to a media drive but gave no error about no boot block or anything. Note to self: don't admin while tired.

Screen is flickering
by Jon Cosby 27 Mar '24

27 Mar '24

My screen is flickering in Leap 15.5/GNOME. It lasts one or two seconds and doesn't seem to happen when the mouse and keyboard are active. Other than that, it seems random. I have an Intel CometLake-S GT2 graphics card and an HP Pavilion 27xw monitor. The screen resolution and refresh rate are set to the defaults: 1920, 16:9 and 60%. This has been going on for awhile, maybe since installing 15.5. Any suggestions to help me troubleshoot this? Thanks. Jon Cosby

kde5/6: recent files/recent applications
by mh＠mike.franken.de 26 Mar '24

26 Mar '24

Hi *, the problem already existed in kde5, but continued in kde6: The menues for "recent files" and "recent applications" stay empty in the start menu, in dolphin and other apps. In .local/share/RecentDocuments/ all the desktop icons for recent files are still existing. The list is updated whenever I open a new document, but nevertheless the "recent files" menu remains empty. As for "recent applications" I can't even find a folder, where they would be stored. I found a few, mostly very old postings on the net, but no fitting answer. Anyone any idea? TIA. Bye. Michael.

Re: KDE Megarelease 6
by Chuck Davis 23 Mar '24

23 Mar '24

There have been numerous complaints about the update to Plasma 6. I believe many of them can be avoided by logging on to IceWM and doing the zypper dup operation. Then reboot and things appear to be normal. YMMV but it's worth a try. You can select the IceWM @ the normal KDE logon in the lower left corner. Hope this helps somebody avoid the mess....

[oS-en] Can someone help me with imapfilter?
by Carlos E. R. 22 Mar '24

22 Mar '24

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I was told recently about this tool. It uses lua language to do filtering operations on a remote imap server. I have some rules that work, and one that doesn't. I'm following the examples here: https://github.com/lefcha/imapfilter/blob/master/samples/config.lua -- Get messages with the specified "Sender" header, which are older than -- 30 days. results = account1.INBOX:contain_field('sender', 'owner@announce-list') * account1.INBOX:is_older(30) -- Move messages to the "announce" mailbox inside the "lists" folder. results:move_messages(account1['lists/announce']) I have in ~/.imapfilter/config.lua: - -- define and name the account gmx_l = IMAP { server = 'imap.gmx.com', username = '...', password = '...', ssl = 'tls1' } - -- define the operation on the named account. Non_OT_GX_L = gmx_l.INBOX:contain_field('List-Id:', '<users.lists.opensuse.org>') * gmx_l.INBOX:is_older(2) Non_OT_GX_L:move_messages(gmx_l['temp_g']) The purpose is to find emails that contain the header List-Id: <users.lists.opensuse.org> AND are older than 2 days. Then it moves them to a folder named 'temp_g' But it is moving 148 mails, many of which have a different List-Id header, or no such header at all. I don't know what is going on, or where to ask (not on github, nobody answers there). It is a very intersting tool, but it is useless to me if it misbehaves like this.

Audacity VS 'locale'?

Audacity is refusing to launch (AGAIN) on both Slowroll AND Tumbleweed, looks like maybe because of 'LOCALE' (AGAIN) ..but why does a freakin' wave editor need 'locale' at all and why do I keep running into locale problems on opensuse (no issues on Artix, Devuan, Slackware, AvLinux)? https://paste.opensuse.org/pastes/d108bcf3f42e

3rd-party app messing with initrd
by Michael Fischer 22 Mar '24

22 Mar '24

For $WORK, I was asked to install a new VPN software (Zscaler). Like many such things, the "linux support" is a mixed bag - it seems to assume that one is running certain systemd things, and a gnome desktop (which I am not). Suffice it to say, the "expected behavior" didn't happen, so I went digging in /var/log, and found the install log... which showed that a) the installer was clever enough to zypper install a bunch of packages b) it called dracut to re-write an initrd. This seems more than a little "rude" to do on a system. I uninstalled the package, but I see that the initrd symlink in /boot/ still points to the same (new) initrd. total 79792 drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 16384 Dec 31 1969 efi -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1725 Aug 26 2020 boot.readme -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 13881401 Nov 25 2020 vmlinux-5.3.18-lp152.1.g0adb0e0-default.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 228245 Nov 25 2020 config-5.3.18-lp152.1.g0adb0e0-default -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4605329 Nov 25 2020 System.map-5.3.18-lp152.1.g0adb0e0-default -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 484 Nov 25 2020 sysctl.conf-5.3.18-lp152.1.g0adb0e0-default -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 432948 Nov 25 2020 symvers-5.3.18-lp152.1.g0adb0e0-default.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9015160 Nov 25 2020 vmlinuz-5.3.18-lp152.1.g0adb0e0-default -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 228385 Dec 5 2020 config-5.3.18-lp152.57-default -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4605295 Dec 5 2020 System.map-5.3.18-lp152.57-default -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 484 Dec 5 2020 sysctl.conf-5.3.18-lp152.57-default -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 432948 Dec 5 2020 symvers-5.3.18-lp152.57-default.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 13883322 Dec 5 2020 vmlinux-5.3.18-lp152.57-default.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9035952 Dec 5 2020 vmlinuz-5.3.18-lp152.57-default lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 39 Dec 18 2020 vmlinuz -> vmlinuz-5.3.18-lp152.1.g0adb0e0-default lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 38 Dec 18 2020 initrd -> initrd-5.3.18-lp152.1.g0adb0e0-default -rw------- 1 root root 12654088 Mar 22 09:48 initrd-5.3.18-lp152.1.g0adb0e0-default -rw------- 1 root root 12647860 Mar 22 09:48 initrd-5.3.18-lp152.57-default drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Mar 22 10:18 grub2 FWIW, I see $ uname -a Linux concorde 5.3.18-lp152.57-default #1 SMP Fri Dec 4 07:27:58 UTC 2020 (7be5551) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux though the vmlinuz-5.3.18-lp152.1.g0adb0e0-default shows 'Nov 25 2020' as the date.

plasma6 - Se7en theme
by mh＠mike.franken.de 21 Mar '24

21 Mar '24

Hi *, I'd like to use the Se7en theme, that is available for plasma6 from the KDE store (https://store.kde.org/p/1407086). I tried to install it via systemsettings. The installation didn't fail, according to systemsettings the theme is installed, but it is not available - and it can't be found on disk in ./.local/share/plasma/desktoptheme. Any idea, what might be wrong here? System is openSUSE Tumbleweed 20240314 with plasma6 and X11. TIA. Bye. Michael.

chromium and h.264 codec in 15.5
by Frank Steiner 21 Mar '24

21 Mar '24

Hi, I'm a little confused about the h.264 codec and chromium in 15.5. I can play the video from https://html5videoplayer.net/html5video/mp4-h-264-video-test/ in both chromium-119.0.6045.199-bp155.1917.5.x86_64 and firefox-esr-115.6.0-lp155.1.1.x86_64. But when I try to join a webex meeting with chromium, it tells me "Video and shared content not supported by browser settings Activate the H.264 video codec in your browser settings so people can see your video and shared content and you can see other videos and shared content." Firefox works fine. chromium also says "not supported" on https://mozilla.github.io/webrtc-landing/pc_test_no_h264.html while Firefox says "supported". I've installed chromium-ffmpeg-extra from packman and added rpms from http://codecs.opensuse.org/openh264/openSUSE_Leap/x86_64/ but it doesn't change anything. Is there anything else I can try to get webex running in chromium? Thanks! cu, Frank -- Dipl.-Inform. Frank Steiner Web: http://www.bio.ifi.lmu.de/~steiner/ Lehrstuhl f.

Slowroll repos and updating
by Ben T. Fender 21 Mar '24

21 Mar '24

I load a fresh Tumbleweed, go into Yast and delete every single repo. Then I 'begin' the routine linked here and quoted below... https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Slowroll rm /etc/zypp/repos.d/* ...which in essence dumps any existing repo but when I reload Yast they're all back there! If I then continue with the ritual I end up with 14 mostly TW repos and trying to do 'zyopper up' get me a warning about tumbleweed needing 'zypper dup'. As for 'zypper up', it will use 14 repos, mostly Tumbleweed! Not sure if this was the intent :-) ----------------------------------------- zypper ar --refresh http://cdn.opensuse.org/slowroll/repo/oss/ base-oss zypper ar --refresh http://cdn.opensuse.org/slowroll/repo/non-oss/ base-non-oss zypper ar --refresh -p 80 http://cdn.opensuse.org/update/slowroll/repo/oss/ update zypper ar --refresh --disable http://cdn.opensuse.org/slowroll/repo/src-oss/ base-src-oss zypper ar --refresh --disable https://download.opensuse.org/debug/slowroll/repo/oss/ base-oss-debug zypper ar --refresh http://codecs.opensuse.org/openh264/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/ h264 zypper ar --refresh -p 70 http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/packman/suse/openSUSE_Slowroll/Essentials/ packman

read-only filesystem
by Roger Oberholtzer 20 Mar '24

20 Mar '24

I have a strange (to me) situation on a Tumbleweed system with btrfs filesystems. Due to issues updating to KDE6, I had to rollback. And the rollback did not really roll back. So I snapper rm'd the various pre/post items so that the snapshot before the attempted update was the default one. It is now sorted so that it boots into the snapshot that I want. All of the file systems are mounted rw. I see this in the mount command. There are no ro file systems (except /boot/uefi). However, when I try to write to most of the file systems, it complains that they are read-only. At the mount level, they are not mounted read-only. So it must be the case that somewhere there is a flag that the file systems are read-only. I've only encountered this at the mount level. I tried a mount -oremount,rw on them, and it completes without a complaint. But there is no change. And as the mount command lists that they are rw, this is no surprise. I am bnot mounting into a read-only snapshot. Or at least I am not choosing that when booting. It is just the default snapshot that is being used. Where else other than via mount can a file system be made read-only? And how to correct that? -- Roger Oberholtzer

packman repo fit
by bent fender 16 Mar '24

16 Mar '24

It happens that a "zypper dup" ends with a stalling download. Right now I have this Retrieving: Mesa-gallium-23.3.6-1699.369.pm. 1.x86_64.rpm ..............<51%>==============[- (2.4 KiB/s)] And if I do nothing but come back in 50 years time it will still be exactly the same. I tried "zypper ref", "zypper clean --all" nothing seems to work. The one thing that does is to go into Yast-Software and lock the package and then come back to do zypper before Yast again to unlock it (until the next time). It seems like THIS 'whaaaaatever' happens invariably with the packman repo and very ofgtyen with Mesa-xyz. Anyone know exactly WHAT the cause is, I can't even TRY countermeasures without knowing what it is. TIA

Proot and android and dbus-broker question while using openSUSE Tumbleweed
by Mgr. Janusz Chmiel 08 Mar '24

08 Mar '24

Dear advanced Opensuse users and developers, I Am running several Linux distributions on my Android devices. I would like to ask somebody of us, if Dbus-broker does support Android kernel system calls? So Dbus-broker can be used even in userspace mode when Android and not real Linux kernel is being used. Why I want to use dbus-broker on my Android devices? Because The Dbus-broker speed up interprocess communication. Especially when reading long list of E-mail messages while working with many thousants of E-mail messages while using Seamonkey E-mail client. Please could someone of us try to invent The commands, which could be executed to allow Dbus-broker work on Android kernel? I Am using Termux and Proot special C binary, which uses Btrace to change and retranslate system calls and folders name to allow to run Linux on Android. Sure. There are plenty of limitations, which are being caused by The difference between real Linux kernel and Android kernel. It is not possible to use Qemu on cheap Android phones. Only expensive Pixel phones support Kqemu hardware virtualisation directly on their CPU level. But those expensive models of Android devices are out of my scope. Running Qemu and real Linux kernel does have sense only for developers, who want to run less intensive tasks. I can not boot Opensuse and run Mate and Orca while using Qemu in user mode. Rooting phones is not easy and it can corrupt phones firmware. Proot is The best available alternative. So if someone of us could describe how to start dbus-broker on Android, I will be very positively impressed. I have been able to use Orca, Mate desktop and Tuner Internet radio while using The latest available Opensuse packages for AArch64 architecture. Unfortunately, using Seamonkey is very very slow. So I Am hoping, that Dbus-broker will speed it up. Normal Dbus work normally.

cups 2 printersetup for one printer
by Simon Becherer 08 Mar '24

08 Mar '24

Hi, since years i use 2 (or more) printer setups in cups to use one printer. -> for different "standard" settings lets say its a color printer, but to save money often i like to print black and white. so i define a printer with the a ppd file and same printer adress twice, one with color settings one with settings black and white. so i have not to click and search all the printer settings to set up this 2 main settings. instead if i like to print color, i use the "color printer, or the foto-setting-printer or the black-and-white printer. since years i have used this with different printers "hp" and "qms" was working. since about a year i own a "sharp mx3060" i do not know if cups has changed anything or if its the printer. but it did not work any more. i have 2 stored ppd's inside etc/cups/ppd/... "sharp_mx-306N-sw" (black and white) "sharp_mx-306N" (colorsettings) but after i print something in one or the other, it changed settings for both. not inside the ppd file (it has always the same timestamp and is not changed since setup the printer), but somwhere else. the etc/cups/printers.conf show the "2" printers </Printer> <Printer SHARP_MX-3060N> PrinterId 6 UUID urn:uuid:959c4210-b868-3eea-7a36-b457b2df28a9 AuthInfoRequired none Info SHARP MX-3060NPCL_PS Location oben MakeModel Sharp MX-3060N PS, 1.2 DeviceURI ipp://192.168.0.11/ipp State Idle StateTime 1700126750 ConfigTime 1656701711 Type 8401116 Accepting Yes Shared No JobSheets none none QuotaPeriod 0 PageLimit 0 KLimit 0 OpPolicy default ErrorPolicy stop-printer Attribute marker-colors \#00FFFF,#FF00FF,#FFFF00,#000000 Attribute marker-levels 50,91,27,96,0,53,53,53,87,77,77,77,66,-1 Attribute marker-low-levels 1,1,1,1 Attribute marker-high-levels 100,100,100,100 Attribute marker-names cyan,magenta,yellow,black Attribute marker-types toner,toner,toner,toner Attribute marker-change-time 1700126750 </Printer> <DefaultPrinter SHARP_MX-3060N-sw> PrinterId 7 UUID urn:uuid:2ab5b068-ec17-3277-58a9-b8c1a50cbfa9 AuthInfoRequired none Info SHARP MX-3060NPCL_PS Location oben MakeModel Sharp MX-3060N PS, 1.2 DeviceURI ipp://192.168.0.11/ipp State Idle StateTime 1700201877 ConfigTime 1656710353 Type 8401116 Accepting Yes Shared No JobSheets none none QuotaPeriod 0 PageLimit 0 KLimit 0 OpPolicy default ErrorPolicy stop-printer Attribute marker-colors \#00FFFF,#FF00FF,#FFFF00,#000000 Attribute marker-levels 50,91,27,96,0,53,53,53,87,77,77,77,66,-1 Attribute marker-low-levels 1,1,1,1 Attribute marker-high-levels 100,100,100,100 Attribute marker-names cyan,magenta,yellow,black Attribute marker-types toner,toner,toner,toner Attribute marker-change-time 1700201877 </DefaultPrinter> so the question ist, where is cups storing actual printer settings, (color or bw, duplex or singele page......)

I chose to 'paste as quotation' the journalctl output using Thunderbird mail client here. I have also attempted adding the 'acpi=off' parameter to /etc/default/grub then updated grub/bootloader resulting in *no graphical target* is reached after powercycling the machine. What is displayed is TTY login - which I can login and then remove the "acpi=off" parameter. My brief searching of this on the web has not yielded results explaining anything related to failing to load into SDDM or KDE. Do you think these acpi warnings could have something to do with: Hibernating the machine results in a proper hibernation *but* does not shut completely down (2 seconds then instantly powers up again) - goes through boot - grub - login again... What is going on here what are your thoughts about this?

strange problem with BT in KDE Plasma: bluez claims "file transfer succeded" but does not save, now does not even connect. Seems broken.
by Stakanov 03 Mar '24

03 Mar '24

Connecting from my smartphone with BT to bluez, I can send files with "share", the BT bluez of my PC says transfer running, transfer succeeded, but the it claims "cannot save files" and now file is saved indeed. I have no explanation, the directory is the home directory of the user with a dedicated BT download directory, I checked permissions and did chmod on it to make sure all files and the directory have the correct permissions. That was yesterday, now it is even worse (yesterday I detached and reattached the BT dongle) so it shows connected, even the battery remaining on the smartphone but.... the sending process remains 0 and no notice in KDE appears. After a while it interrupts. No idea why it did not save yesterday, why it does not receive the files today...... Does anybody has and Android smartphone and tried to use BT file transfer on KDE Plasma to tell me if it is known to be broken?

KDE - kwin.sh modification:

29 Feb '24

Hi, this machine is running openSUSE Tumbleweed KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.10 KDE Frameworks Verison: 5.115.0 Qt Version: 5.15.12 Kernel Version: 6.76.6-1-pae Graphics Platform: X11 Graphics Processor: i915 Having some shading issues with KDE Plasma so I created file kwin.sh in /etc/profile.d Permissions are --> -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 26 FEB 29 13:54 kwin.sh I added 'QT_QUICK_BACKEND=software' in order to attempt to software render QT Quick because OpenGL backend uses complex shaders which do not fit into i915 hardware specifications. There is no luck with this modification as of yet. Is it a security issue to add 'x/execute' permission to the file? None of the other files in profile.d have execute permissions set as of now default. Any thoughts on what is going on here with this?

Lazy-Tumbleweed VS Slowroll

Recommendations for firewall/router hardware?
by Bob Rogers 27 Feb '24

27 Feb '24

I need to configure a firewall/router box for a medium-sized office/factory, projected to grow up to 50 people over the next 5 years. The last time I did this I built a small rack-mount server box, small enough not to need case fans, with extra RAM (for the day), an onboard NIC for the external network and a 4-port 10/100 NIC for the internal subnets. But that was 14 years ago, and I imagine there are better options these days. Any suggestions? TIA, -- Bob Rogers http://www.rgrjr.com/

HP PS/2 style keyboard preventing suspend:
by -pj 27 Feb '24

27 Feb '24

I have openSUSE Tumbleweed running on this machine. I had attached a USB wireless HP keyboard to the machine and suspend worked well from what I could tell (the machine went to sleep and resumed when asked). The issue is the keyboard is/was not taking keystrokes correctly, quite alot of the time. It became very very frustrating for me to use. It seems sometimes freshly charged Panasonic Eneloop batteries may help a little but is unknown for certain still. When an older HP PS/2 style keyboard is attached to the machine. It’s solid and never misses a keystroke. :~> /usr/sbin/hwinfo --keyboard 25: PS/2 00.0: 10800 Keyboard [Created at input.226] Unique ID: nLyy.+49ps10DtUF Hardware Class: keyboard Model: "AT Translated Set 2 keyboard" Vendor: 0x0001 Device: 0x0001 "AT Translated Set 2 keyboard" Compatible to: int 0x0211 0x0001 Device File: /dev/input/event0 Device Files: /dev/input/event0, /dev/input/by-path/platform-i8042-serio-0-event-kbd Device Number: char 13:64 Driver Info #0: XkbRules: xfree86 XkbModel: pc104 Config Status: cfg=no, avail=yes, need=no, active=unknown :~> This keyboard now is preventing suspend from working fully. Yes, suspend does shut off the monitor but it leaves the machine in a running state (power supply fan still spinning). I have investigated the bios settings and can not find anything pertaining to the PS/2 style keyboard in there. There is a feature option in the machines bios for PS/2 style mouse though. What can I do to try to get the sleep/suspend feature to work correctly with the PS/2 style keyboard attached now? Suspend working normally on this setup is machine goes into a sleep state, quiet, with flashing power button. Resume activates by pressing the power button. As I do not have hibernation configured. Is this somehow related something 'udevadm' would help track down at all? -Best Wishes

X Authority files not always installed or updated apparently
by Marc Chamberlin 25 Feb '24

25 Feb '24

Hello - I am trying to grok how two X authority files get created and who/what is responsible for creating them. I have a script for starting up the x11vnc service and it needs to find the X authority file and looks for it in one of two places. The first location it looks for it is at /run/user/1000/xauth_* and if my script finds it there then my script assumes it is running on an OpenSuSE 15.4 or later system and I use it for/via the -auth parameter of x11vnc command and the x11vnc service can be started up OK. If my script does not find the X authority file at this first location then it assumes that it is running on OpenSuSE 15.3 or earlier and looks for the X authority file at ~/.Xauthority. And again (ASSUMING my script is running on an OpenSuSE 15.3 or earlier system) if my script finds it there it passes the location of the .Xauthority file to x11vnc via the -auth parameter and the xvncserver will start up an run OK. The trouble is that on about half of my OpenSuSE 15.4 systems, the X authority file is not being created at /run/user/1000/ This causes my script to fall through to looking for the X authority file in the users home directory at ~/.Xauthority but using that for x11vnc via it's -auth parameter results in getting error messages such as this - in > 23/02/2024 10:06:40 x11vnc version: 0.9.16 lastmod: 2019-01-05 pid: > 23287 > Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 keyNo protocol specified > 23/02/2024 10:06:40 XOpenDisplay(":0") failed. > 23/02/2024 10:06:40 Trying again with XAUTHLOCALHOSTNAME=localhost ... > Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 keyInvalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key > 23/02/2024 10:06:40 *************************************** > 23/02/2024 10:06:40 *** XOpenDisplay failed (:0) > > *** x11vnc was unable to open the X DISPLAY: ":0", it cannot continue. > *** There may be "Xlib:" error messages above with details about the > failure. I believe the ~/.Xauthority file in my home directory may be a left-over file from when I was running previous versions of OpenSuSE? I get that feeling because if I delete the .Xauthority file (as some internet searches suggested) it is not recreated when I rebooted or log out, log back in. So I am guessing that ~/Xauthority files have been deprecated/removed from OpenSuSE 15.4 and later systems? additional info - OpenSuSE 15.4 x64 kf5-config --version Qt: 5.15.2 KDE Frameworks: 5.90.0 kf5-config: 1.0 plasmashell --version qt.qpa.plugin: Could not load the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in "" even though it was found. This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem. Crud! don't know how to solve this, maybe "plasmashell ---version" does not work over SSH? Let me know what other info is needed. Please let me know how to create the /run/user/1000/xauth_* X authority file on those systems that are not doing so and thanks as always in advance.... Marc... (please forgive me if my font size is bad, I have a horrible time getting font sizes set correctly on OpenSuSE! There are no guidelines and choosing what tool to use is just guesswork. I have set Thunderbird to send this as plain text. HTHs)

NetworkManager problem in TW
by Ben T. Fender 17 Feb '24

17 Feb '24

While using Slowroll I set up NetworkManager to connect to my smartphone hot-spot (my ONLY internet connection for the next 2-3 months!). Everything works as expected and I'm posting thois from Slowroll, with these settings (all else being defaults): General config tab: "Connect automatically with priority 0" Wifi tab: shows SSID name with padlock WiFi Security tab: Wpa2 personal password shows on clicking eye "Store pwd for all users (not encrypted) But using the same settings in TW all I get is "Connected but unable to reach the internet" or words to that effect. That's a relatively recent install and there is no other internet connection so I need to fix *it* first. Which files does this dialog edit? Maybe I should compare them. What else can I look at?

RFC 6724
by James Knott 16 Feb '24

16 Feb '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.

Is chmod broken?
by Marc Chamberlin 11 Feb '24

11 Feb '24

I ran into a problem in OpenSuSE 15.5 trying to start the cron.service daemon. It failed because the directory at /etc/cron.d was empty (which in previous releases of OpenSuSE it was not empty). The cron.service file, as supplied from the installation repos, has a couple of ExecStartPre shell commands shown here - (the second ExecStartPre command seems to be redundant, but I don't know that for sure, because I don't know how chmod is suppose to handle recursion and wildchars. Man pages seem unclear about this). ExecStartPre=+/bin/sh -c '/bin/chmod -R 0744 /etc/cron.*' # Only do the following ExecStartPre if there is something in /etc/cron.d ExecStartPre=+/bin/sh -c '/bin/chmod -R 0644 /etc/cron.d/*' Even commenting out the second ExecStartPre command doesn't solve the failure I was getting from the first chmod command. Anywise I managed to fix this issue by using the following ExecStartPre commands instead - ExecStartPre=+/bin/sh -c '/bin/chmod 0744 /etc/cron.*' ExecStartPre=+/bin/sh -c '/bin/chmod -R 0744 /etc/cron.*/*' So, is the script in cron.service wrong/broken or is chmod itself broken? (or maybe my version of OpenSuSE 15.5 is screwed up somehow? won't be the first thing to have gone wrong with it on my new laptop! sigh) Marc...

TW the link-destroyer ..except for krnl 6.7.2
by Ben T. Fender 07 Feb '24

07 Feb '24

My 3 or 4 KDE-employing systems all use xeyes as the mouse-arrow locating utility since an earlier one called mouse-trails died out in the 4.x epoch. Gotta have something like this with 1920+ resolution. https://imgur.com/1ADm9h8.png {OT: wallpaper is my snow-removal log, clearly shows warming} To get the eyes there I drop links into a remote 'bashers-linked' folder that contains links to bash scripts such as my-xeyes.bsh elsewhere, the .profile file is also a link to a common remote .profile file with lines such as these in it: cd 0/bashers-linked bash my-xeyes-launch.bsh The reason I link is to protect the folder of real scripts :-) I use this system in TW, Slowroll, Artix and maybe annother KDE setup (about half use KDE, the other half XFCE). There have been issues needing fixing from tiome to time, the latest one is that booting TW erases the links. I'd like to trap the culprit but don't really know how, but it is a PITA. While on TW, the reason I cited the exception for kernel 6.7.2 is that while that appears in the grub2 boot menu, selecting it results in a boot to command-line only.

by Simon Becherer 04 Feb '24

04 Feb '24

Hi, since a couple of weeks always when i try to shutdown my tumbleweed (not actual updated, so an update is not the case of the problem) a delay for the shutdown: "a stop job is running for session 3 of user simon" i am user "simon" and i have before closed kde regularly with the shut down option and nothing left open. its a "normal" desktop kde system, with connections to and from it, inside the lan over nfs and sometimes over ssh. but the most times 3 tumbleweed computers who are running inside this lan who have theoretically access, i and my wife are the operators, so nobody should have "logged in" when i shut down. from outside the internet there should be nothing open to come in to the lan. how could i investigate what is here "session3" and still running? thanks, simoN -- www.becherer.de

Problems with Leap 15.5 KDE
by James Knott 03 Feb '24

03 Feb '24

In addition to the "shaking" video problem I mentioned earlier, there is another severe problem. After 2 or 3 days, my desktop will lock up solid and the only way out is to kill the power. It is only the desktop that locks up, as I can still use SSH to connect and do stuff. After a few lockups, I went back to 15.4 and both these issues stopped. I then returned to 15.5 a few days ago and both problems returned. If there is no resolution soon, I will be forced to return to 15.4 again. Since that hardware module is no longer in Yast, I can't use it to provide hardware info, so I can only read from the box. The motherboard is a Gigabyte H77M-D3M with an i7 CPU.

Is this drive failing?
by -pj 03 Feb '24

Hello, I am wondering if this drive is failing. I ran a GSmartControl - extended test and no errors were detected that way. Noticing here on this machine with some of the journalctl -xb output shown in the following lines: Feb 02 17:10:09 Thinkcentre-M57p kernel: fdisk: attempt to access beyond end of device sdb: rw=524288, sector=32768, nr_sectors = 8 limit=0 Feb 02 17:10:09 Thinkcentre-M57p kernel: fdisk: attempt to access beyond end of device sdb: rw=0, sector=32768, nr_sectors = 1 limit=0 Feb 02 17:10:09 Thinkcentre-M57p kernel: Buffer I/O error on dev dm-3, logical block 0, async page read Feb 02 17:10:09 Thinkcentre-M57p kernel: fdisk: attempt to access beyond end of device sdb: rw=0, sector=32769, nr_sectors = 1 limit=0 Feb 02 17:10:09 Thinkcentre-M57p kernel: Buffer I/O error on dev dm-3, logical block 1, async page read Feb 02 17:10:09 Thinkcentre-M57p kernel: fdisk: attempt to access beyond end of device sdb: rw=0, sector=32770, nr_sectors = 1 limit=0 Feb 02 17:10:09 Thinkcentre-M57p kernel: Buffer I/O error on dev dm-3, logical block 2, async page read Feb 02 17:10:09 Thinkcentre-M57p kernel: fdisk: attempt to access beyond end of device sdb: rw=0, sector=32771, nr_sectors = 1 limit=0 Feb 02 17:10:09 Thinkcentre-M57p kernel: Buffer I/O error on dev dm-3, logical block 3, async page read Feb 02 17:10:09 paul-Thinkcentre-M57p kernel: fdisk: attempt to access beyond end of device sdb: rw=0, sector=32772, nr_sectors = 1 limit=0 Feb 02 17:10:09 Thinkcentre-M57p kernel: Buffer I/O error on dev dm-3, logical block 4, async page read Feb 02 17:10:09 paul-Thinkcentre-M57p kernel: fdisk: attempt to access beyond end of device sdb: rw=0, sector=32773, nr_sectors = 1 limit=0 Feb 02 17:10:09 Thinkcentre-M57p kernel: Buffer I/O error on dev dm-3, logical block 5, async page read Feb 02 17:10:09 Thinkcentre-M57p kernel: fdisk: attempt to access beyond end of device sdb: rw=0, sector=32774, nr_sectors = 1 limit=0 Feb 02 17:10:09 Thinkcentre-M57p kernel: Buffer I/O error on dev dm-3, logical block 6, async page read Feb 02 17:10:09 paul-Thinkcentre-M57p kernel: fdisk: attempt to access beyond end of device sdb: rw=0, sector=32775, nr_sectors = 1 limit=0 Feb 02 17:10:09 Thinkcentre-M57p kernel: Buffer I/O error on dev dm-3, logical block 7, async page read Feb 02 17:10:09 Thinkcentre-M57p kernel: fdisk: attempt to access beyond end of device sdb: rw=0, sector=32768, nr_sectors = 1 limit=0 Feb 02 17:10:09 Thinkcentre-M57p kernel: Buffer I/O error on dev dm-3, logical block 0, async page read Feb 02 17:10:09 Thinkcentre-M57p kernel: Buffer I/O error on dev dm-3, logical block 1, async page read There is no /dev/sdb device showing up in fdisk -l or lsblk -fs right now though so could it be an iteration of the past when possibly my (usb filing drive) was connected to the machine?

I've been experiencing a minor freeze for about 45 seconds to a minute after a powercycle and login but then things seem to clear up.

Hi, I am receiving this message when passing:journalctl -b -1 -r Hint: You are currently not seeing messages from other users and the system. Users in the 'systemd-journal' group can see all messages. Pass -q to turn off this notice. The issue is that I am in the "systemd-journal" group.

Ok, powercycling fixed the issue. Do you recommend adding admin user to "systemd-journal" group typically?

How to change Apache's DocumentRoot
by Siard 31 Jan '24

31 Jan '24

Is there a way to change Apache's DocumentRoot? In /etc/apache2/default-server.conf there is this line: DocumentRoot "/srv/www/htdocs" I changed it to another directory and restarted Apache. systemctl restart apache2 But http://localhost shows this text: Access forbidden! You don't have permission to access the requested directory. There is either no index document or the directory is read-protected. But there IS an index document in the new directory and nothing is read-protected. What has to be done more than this?

KDE - Wayland - NVidia -> load
by Klaus Vink Slott 30 Jan '24

30 Jan '24

Just a heads up. After updating my Tumbleweed to day, KDE on Wayland is not longer possible. CPU load goes max and everything slows to crawl. Luckily I still had X-org installed so I was able to switch back. I have not had the time to investigate further, but in case anyone has the same problem they should feel alone :-/ klaus@msien:~> lspci | grep -i vga 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GP107 [GeForce GTX 1050 Ti] (rev a1) -- Klaus

Problem with connecting KMail to dovecot server both in Tumbleweed
by Freek de Kruijf 29 Jan '24

29 Jan '24

Suddenly, probably caused by a recent update, my KMail is unable to connect to the dovecot imap server on the same system. The server has a listening port on 127.0.0.1:143 and support STARTTLS. KMail is configured to connect to that port. On that system "telnet localhost 143" shows: Trying ::1... telnet: connect to address ::1: Connection refused Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE LITERAL+ STARTTLS AUTH=PLAIN] Dovecot ready. Using "openssl s_client -connect localhost:143 -quiet" I get: 40F756DECB7F0000:error:0A00010B:SSL routines:ssl3_get_record:wrong version number:ssl/record/ssl3_record.c:354: Using "openssl s_client -connect localhost:143 -starttls imap -quiet" I can enter "tag login <username> <password>" and I get: tag NO [AUTHENTICATIONFAILED] Authentication failed. But I am sure username and password are OK. KMail also gets an authentication failure. But yesterday all was OK. -- fr.gr. member openSUSE Freek de Kruijf

TW won't let me mount by device-name
by Ben T. Fender 26 Jan '24

26 Jan '24

After "fdisk -l" to validate that my booting drive is in fact /dev/sda mount /dev/sda8 /0/sa08 because I want to work in partition 8 What I get in response is ========================================================== # mount /dev/sda7 /0/sa07 mount: /0/sa07: /dev/sda7 already mounted or mount point busy. dmesg(1) may have more information after failed mount system call. ========================================================== Why is TW not letting me mount by confirmed device-name? It seem to me that I once removed some package that fixed the issue but I don't remember what that package was, and now it's back to square one. Any other fix? I used disk-labels for a while too but got into trouble with those being used together with uuids :-(

Yikes! Looks like an update has screwed up my laptop
by Marc Chamberlin 25 Jan '24

25 Jan '24

I am running OpenSuSE 15.5 with KDE/Plasma on my laptop and I, this morning, gave it permission to install the latest set of updates that I was told were waiting. It included a kernel update and as usual those want me to reboot after being installed. So I did and now I can no longer get my desktop up and running. The visual log, seen by using the Esc key during the system startup process, gives the following clues. During a regular (init 5) startup, I see two "start jobs" that seem to run forever - (1 of 2) A start job is running for User Login Management (xxmin xxs / ymin) (2 of 2) A start job is running for Hold until boot process finishes up (xxmin xxsec / no limit) Start job (1 of 2) keeps upping the ymin limit for about 15 to 20 minutes and then the following messages are logged - FAILED] Failed to start User Login Management. See 'systemctl status systemd-logind services' for details. [ OK ] Stopped User Login Management. Starting Load Kernel Module drm... [ OK ] Finished Load Kernel Module drm. Starting User Login Management... Starting Cleanup of Temporary Directories... [ OK ] Finished Cleanup of Temporary Directories. and then this cycle repeats forever. I next tried to start up OpenSuSE to init 3 and only the following error message was simply reported - FAILED to start Command Scheduler I am then allowed to login as root but I don't know what to do or how to proceed. While logged in, I do get repeating message interrupts telling me - kernel:[ nnn.nnnnnnn C0] BUG:workqueue lockup - pool cpus=14 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=0 stuck for xxxs!

Leap-16/Slowroller/flatpacking

What made me wonder was the recent change of grub listing my Slowroller gig as a just another Tumbleweed for some reason. Are both Slowroller and Flat-Leap headed for a merge? In plain english, like?

Strangeness in defining "protocols" in dovecot/pigeonhole/mamagesieve
by joe a 23 Jan '24

23 Jan '24

Well, a strangeness to my view. Since this is an opensuse package and not the "lastest and greatest", not sure if I should post this here or "over there". It is a given that I may have, through some noobiness have bungled something early on that is causing this. I am prepared to accept the semi-public ritual shaming that may follow. All references to results mean per "dovecot -n". One can be assured that dovecot.conf was edited followed by "dovecot -n", then 20-managesieve.conf edited followed by "dovecot -n", for each "set". What happens is, it appears, that if one specifies or alters the "default" protocols in /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf, any protocols subsequently defined, at least in /etc/dovecot/conf.d/20-managesieve.conf, are not honored. It does not seem to matter if it is specified as "protocols = sieve" or "protocols = $protocols sieve". Further, in /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf, if one comments out "protocols", one finds protocols is not listed at all, unless there is a protocol defined later such as "sieve" in 20-managesieve.conf. if one lists "protocols = " then "protocols = " is listed even if a protocol is defined later such as "sieve" in 20-managesieve.conf of one lists "protocols = $protocols", nothing is listed, unless if: "protocols = sieve" is defined in 20-managesieve.conf, "protocols = sieve" is listed "protocols = $protocols sieve" is defined in 20-managesieve.conf - then "protocols = imap pop3 lmtp sieve" is listed. Again, all as shown by "dovecot -n" after editing each file(s). I hope this is useful in determining if there is a problem, and helps lead to a solution if one is warranted. I'll send this also to the docecotlist as a distinct email.

Dovecot/Pigeonhole, Leap 15.5
by joe a 23 Jan '24

23 Jan '24

Installed Dovecot23 package via YAST. Dovecot configured and working for some months now. Added Roundcube along the way. Attempting to configure Sieve/Manageseive, found Roundcube could not contact managesieve. Reason being the port, 4190, managesieve is configured to listen on, is not bound. Cannot telnet to it, on the local box, nor does it show via socklist or other port listing means. Does not appear to be a misconfiguration of dovecot. Anyone have such a thing working?

EFI bootable gpt disk made in Legacy-boot Tumbleweed?
by Ben T. Fender 23 Jan '24

Is this possible? I tried with the TW installer to make such a disk to be used on another computer but when I set "grub2-efi" for boot it was rejected because "the current system was Legacy boot" or words to that effect.

T470-w10+Tumbleweed/Slowroll
by Ben T. Fender 23 Jan '24

23 Jan '24

I got me a used Lenovo T470 with w10 preinstalled and using uefi or whatecver they call that fancy boot crap. In order to stay on the safe side of the alley I just installed Tumbleweed on a 1tb usb-ssd prepartitioned the same as the 1tb ssd of my desktop to eventually just host a copy of it. This way I can make a 'dd' copy of the entire laptop ssd for a backup of the entire on-board built-in hsithouse with windows included. I 'think' in case of a mishap I would just dd that file back to that or another same size ssd and be done with it. 3 questions - is the above a workable arrangement? - can I plug the linux ssd into the thunderbolt port and get better speed than with just a usb port (reason, I need all the usb ports)? - is there another and simple way of doing it all on an internal 1tb+ ssd with grub and not run the risk of windows screwing it all up? TIA

Tumbleweed new users:
by -pj 21 Jan '24

I notice that a new user creation (YaST), automatically adds the new user to the users group. I created another user here about a month ago and this is not the case (groups username outputs username username, i.e. deb : deb). The su/sysadmin account I just noticed is also a member of the users group. YaST2 > User and Group Administration > Defaults for New Users > Default Group > /users/ , is stuck on anything but the desired here. Example creating a new user, Hyn the only group I wish Hyn to be in is Hyn and does not exist. I attached a paste to better display this. https://paste.opensuse.org/pastes/1f7650450f4a test, test2 and paul have been added to users group. Passing: groups deb output deb : deb. Am I going to have to somehow use groupadd to add a group for user paul since there is no group paul existing? What should the default group be set to in YaST, in order to simply have /groups test/ display /test : test/ after user is created? #usermod -G paul audio cdrom usermod: group 'paul' does not exist Thinkcentre-M57p:~ # What's the best way to remove user paul from users group and have user paul only be a member of currently nonexistent group paul? ugh, Thanks

x11vnc/vncviewer guru wanted for help
by Marc Chamberlin 20 Jan '24

20 Jan '24

Hi, I am not sure where to turn for help with x11vnc and (Tiger) vncviewer that I got from the OpenSuSE 15.4 and 15.5 repositories. Google search does not show any forums dedicated to x11vnc, so I thought I would take a stab at it here. If anyone knows of a better forum or a better place to find documentation that would help be with my issue, I would greatly appreciate links! What documentation I can find just sucks and is incomplete in describing HOW x11vnc actually works... I have been a happy camper using x11vnc and vncviewer for years now to bounce around between computers and desktops on my own SOHO network. (Not always easy to configure, but I have managed...) Recently I bought a new laptop with a high res screen 3456x2160 to add to my network mix, running OpenSuSE15.5. Most of the other computers are older (OpenSuSE15.4) and running using 1920x1080 screens. All systems are running the KDE with Plasma desktops. What I want to do is to be able to VNC from my laptop (client) to display :0 on my other systems, and get a full screen display of the desktop from my remote VNC server systems. I haven't been able to figure out how to do this successfully, God only knows how many hours I have spent trying! The closest I have come is to configuring the x11vnc server and vncviewer client as follows - Remote VNC server - /usr/bin/x11vnc -display :0 -auth /run/user/1000/xauth_DFOoYd -forever -loop -noxdamage -repeat -rfbauth /etc/vncpasswd -o /var/log/x11vnc.log -rfbport 5900 -noipv6 -shared -scale 3456x2160 -quiet; Local VNC client - vncviewer -geometry 3456x2160 -DesktopSize 3456x2160 remote.mydomain.com::5900 This gives me a brief glimpse of a full screen desktop, like I want, but vncviewer immediately crashes. Vncviewer reports the following error messages - Mon Jan 8 10:05:24 2024 CMsgReader: Rect too big: 3223x2102 at 0,65535 exceeds 3456x2160 CConn: Rect too big I feel like I am starting to get above my pay grade now, there is not a lot of helpful information about "Rect" or how to configure, encode, or work with them. It seems that only an x11vnc guru can really deal with this part of the VNC model. Is there anyone on this mail list who can tackle this problem for me and help shed some light on what is going on? A command line example(s) like a picture is worth a thousand words! Much appreciate all offers of help and suggestions. Marc...

Yes. Meanwhile I got me a new used Lenovo T470 and clean-installed TW on one of a 1gb Samsung e860 ssd partitions (identical to what I have in my desktop). Then I just dd'd that installation over to my desktop ssd and ...bingo, Audacity works on TW on both machines. I do have a backup image of the old TW made about a month ago so if my life depended on it I 'could' revert to that and do more trouble-shooting. I feel like a creep for you having gone to all this trouble and me not following up but now I have my hands full getting on top of this laptop :-) Thank you again, and do get well, if you haven't already! -- "The true measure of a man's character, is how he treats those who can do nothing for him".

[oS-EN] Which is the currently preferred CD ripping software?
by Carlos E. R. 19 Jan '24

19 Jan '24

Hi, I am curious. What is the currently preferred CD ripping software? Years ago I used "grip", a gnome tool. Then it died, and I asked here. I tried the suggestions, and I finally used "audex". Problem with audex is, it is kde 3. I also know about asunder, abcde. Even k3b can do it, I hear. asunder does not do MusicBrain searches, only cddb. k3b can not configure the ripping, but cddb search works. audex fails to find the tracks in cddb (actually gnudb.gnudb.org). Some other nice and modern GUI tool for ripping CDs? -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from Telcontar, using openSUSE Leap 15.4)

Ssh Xforwarding works for app but not for help
by G McAlister 19 Jan '24

19 Jan '24

I'm using Opensuse Leap 15.5 in a Proxmox lxc container to run the gnucash app. I can ssh into the container and, with Xforwarding, I can use the app remotely on my KDE desktop. Great. However, in the Help menu, if I click on either "Tutorial and Concepts Guide" or "Contents", those windows don't open on my KDE desktop but on the container console. Doesn't seem like an app problem but maybe some detail of forwarding or odd behaviour of yelp, the gnome help viewer. Any thoughts, please?

Mono on Tumbleweed
by Roger Oberholtzer 19 Jan '24

19 Jan '24

Hi all, I'm not much of an expert in .NET/Mono. So bear with me... I have a vendor-supplied RPM that I want to install. It contains a Linux 64-bit C# application. When I try to install it, I get the following: error: Failed dependencies: mono(System.Collections) = 6.0.0.0 is needed by navsolve-cmd-1.2.1-2.x86_64 mono(System.ComponentModel.Primitives) = 6.0.0.0 is needed by navsolve-cmd-1.2.1-2.x86_64 mono(System.Console) = 6.0.0.0 is needed by navsolve-cmd-1.2.1-2.x86_64 mono(System.Diagnostics.Process) = 6.0.0.0 is needed by navsolve-cmd-1.2.1-2.x86_64 mono(System.Linq) = 6.0.0.0 is needed by navsolve-cmd-1.2.1-2.x86_64 mono(System.Runtime) = 6.0.0.0 is needed by navsolve-cmd-1.2.1-2.x86_64 mono(System.Text.RegularExpressions) = 6.0.0.0 is needed by navsolve-cmd-1.2.1-2.x86_64 mono(System.Threading) = 6.0.0.0 is needed by navsolve-cmd-1.2.1-2.x86_64 mono(System.Threading.Thread) = 6.0.0.0 is needed by navsolve-cmd-1.2.1-2.x86_64 mono(System.Xml.ReaderWriter) = 6.0.0.0 is needed by navsolve-cmd-1.2.1-2.x86_64 mono(System.Xml.XmlSerializer) = 6.0.0.0 is needed by navsolve-cmd-1.2.1-2.x86_64 I have used earlier releases of this software. So I think it generally works in openSUSE.

Specifically, .NET 6.12.0. Which should be okay. I'm curious why the test is for = 6.0.0.0 and not >= 6.0.0.0. Could it be that the RPM is incorrect in this sense? Or does .NET require these exact matches? I do not see these available in the repo I use for this: https://packages.microsoft.com/opensuse/15/prod As I said, I'm not a .NET/MONO expert. -- Roger Oberholtzer

[oS-EN] Caps lock key and led problem - ideas?
by Carlos E. R. 18 Jan '24

18 Jan '24

Hi, I have a small nuisance with the led on the caps lock key of this laptop: on wakeup from hibernation it is on, while typing produces lowercase letters. What I do is hit the key twice. Is there something I could do? Is this a bug to be reported, for instance? Could I run something to read the led and switch it off if it is on? maybe automatically on return from hibernation. Write something to /proc? Ideas? -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from openSUSE 15.5 (Laicolasse))

Get bootinfo script output?
by -pj 17 Jan '24

I have a machine displaying the following after POST 'TrustedGrub32 No TPM found error'. Trying to get the output of ./bootinfoscript . but unable to find an openSUSE live rescue cd either 32 or 64 bit from here (as I have a 32 bit machine here also): https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Tumbleweed_installation#LiveCDs/Rescue_CD link does not allow for 32 bit KDE Live or 64 bit KDE Live rescue .iso downloads. If I use the 32 bit openSUSE Tumbleweed offline image (I got elsewhere) boots up but am a bit lost on how to proceed to getting bootinfoscript results from the machine. Where can I find the 32 bit KDE live rescue cd .iso? If not available where to locate the 64 bit KDE live rescue cd .iso? 1. To include in this message, what is best way to mount a separate usb with bootinfo script in a folder; if choose to proceed with the openSUSE offline image and work from a TTY (CLI)? Also how to copy the bootinfoscript results file (once executed) to the separate usb drive for further review? -Thanks

Thunderbird - news feeds updating sporadically
by gumb 15 Jan '24

15 Jan '24

Leap 15.5, latest TB 115.6.0 Anybody else? Over twenty years been using Thunderbird with an ever-increasing number of blogs and news feeds. Never a problem until a couple of weeks ago. Now the feeds are updating unreliably. Some seem to update frequently as before, others sporadically, others not at all. No particular pattern I can spot. For example I have about twenty or more feeds for YouTube channels. Some update and others don't. If I right-click one showing as empty that I know normally has several new items each day, and click 'Get Messages' from the context menu, the new messages will instantly come through. There's also no configuration changes I've made that should have affected things. I've double checked the main config and the individual feed settings, tried toggling one or two settings back and forth in case the config was accidentally changed, but still the same inconsistency. They are not 'paused', and the network is always up. Tried restarting TB and rebooting. I'm pretty sure this didn't start after a version update either. I'd already been on 115.5.0 a while, and the recent update to 115.6.0 hasn't helped. Could there be some other dependency recently updated, like something that pulls things from the network, that has a bug, or do I have a corrupted feed database? If so, how to reset? gumb

openSUSE:slowroll:
by Paul Graff 15 Jan '24

15 Jan '24

Any more word on openSUSE slowroll? Everything seems easy enough as far as swapping the repositories out. My concern would be doing that on a fully patched Tumbleweed machine right now. I do have a backup solution tested and ready to be implemented if need be. Would it be better off to just start from scratch and implement slowroll repositories instead of on a current updated Tumbleweed? Would it cause problems with the nvidia G05 driver currently in use here? Thanks

Sound support not loaded

14 Jan '24

Hi, My new Dell XPS 15 9530 laptop is unhappy because it's sound system is not working under OpenSuSE 15.5 x64 with the KDE/Plasma desktop. When I tried to "configure" the sound system I got the following error message - The kernel module snd-sof-pci-intel-tgl for sound support could not be loaded. This can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.

OT- semi and demi - Old and Older hardware - iso DVD active partition not found
by joe a 10 Jan '24

10 Jan '24

ASUS A7V733-c. Created DVD's from ISO images (Tumbleweed, a few days old) and get "active partition not found". Round and round . . . tried some older Knoppix, Mint, Windows rescue DVD's (R) and they boot fine. Thinking "These new DVD, Staples labled, are, umm, less than good", burned another on an older SONY blank. Same error. Seems no ISO images of recent vintage want to boot. Tried USB bootables, but the BIOS only knows USB FDD and USB ZIP, so, no boot either, just blinking cursor upper left corner.

Howto Bring up USB RNDIS Network Interface?
by David C. Rankin 06 Jan '24

06 Jan '24

All, I'm trying to bring up an RNDIS network interface for a milkV-duo (RaspberryPi Pico look-alike with 64M of RAM and risc processor). This is on 15.4 (yes, still there haven't had time to update). The device works fine on Win10 after installing the RNDIS driver and the network is created on 192.168.42.1. On plugging into 15.4, the RNDIS driver is built into the kernel and the board is recognized as RNDIS: Jan 04 22:02:10 wizard kernel: usb 2-1: new high-speed USB device number 8 using xhci_hcd Jan 04 22:02:10 wizard kernel: usb 2-1: New USB device found, idVendor=3346, idProduct=1009, bcdDevice= 5.10 Jan 04 22:02:10 wizard kernel: usb 2-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 Jan 04 22:02:10 wizard kernel: usb 2-1: Product: RNDIS Jan 04 22:02:10 wizard kernel: usb 2-1: Manufacturer: Cvitek Jan 04 22:02:10 wizard kernel: usb 2-1: SerialNumber: 0123456789 Jan 04 22:02:10 wizard mtp-probe[19275]: checking bus 2, device 8: "/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1c.7/0000:26:00.0/usb2/2-1" Jan 04 22:02:10 wizard mtp-probe[19275]: bus: 2, device: 8 was not an MTP device Jan 04 22:02:11 wizard mtp-probe[19318]: checking bus 2, device 8: "/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1c.7/0000:26:00.0/usb2/2-1" Jan 04 22:02:11 wizard mtp-probe[19318]: bus: 2, device: 8 was not an MTP device But that is where I'm stuck. Is there a howto on bringing a RNDIS network interface up somewhere? Do I need to modprobe additional drivers? Currently "ip addr" sees nothing, so there is no interface to bring up. What does "bus: 2, device: 8 was not an MTP device" mean and is that important? I've googled "milkv linux rndis" until I'm blue and haven't found a concise anything beyond RNDIS has to be enabled in the kernel -- which it looks to be. Am I'm missing something basic? -- David C.

what's wrong with my script?
by Daniel Bauer 29 Dec '23

29 Dec '23

Hello, I have a script that does some imageMagick stuff in a for-loop and save the results in sub-directories. Normally it works perfect, but in a certain condition it produces a strange result I cannot explain. I start the script in my /home/daniel/digikam folder with ./scriptname.sh It cd's to the directory containing the files that should be transformed and the for-loop searches for all *.png files, like: cd to png-directory for bild in *.png do resize $bild, add text, save ${bild%.png}.jpg as JPEG-image in sub-directory ./4000 add color profile to ./4000/"${bild%.png}.jpg" done (The original script resizes to 2 sizes into 2 sub-directories, adds a color-profile and then converts to new color-profile to both versions, it is here: https://www.daniel-bauer.com/div/strange_script.txt) Now when I have NO png-files (but jpg-files) in the "png-directory", in my opinion the script should do just nothing, because there is nothing to process in the for-loop. But what happens is: All files that already have been in the sub-directories before are copied to a file with the name of the last file that already was in that sub-directory, plus a number. [to explain: there are already 3 files A.jpg, B.jpg, C.jpg in the sub-directory before I start the script. After the script executed I have there addditional: C-0.jpg, C-1.jpg, C-3.jpg ... ... C-32.jpg ... ... where those C-n-files are copies of A, B and C.jpg ] Where is my error? Why does the script do anything, when the condition for the for-loop isn't met (there are no *.png-files to process)? Thanks for your help!

OT - older ASUS M4A78T-E not booting DVD
by joe a 26 Dec '23

26 Dec '23

Trying to salvage/repurpose former VMware host, to see if a useful iSCSI target can be built on LEAP 15.5. Dr. Frankenstein has granted me license to use some of his techniques. Call me Igor. Creeping along, gathering bits from various Cyber crypts in the "Laboratory", I find the beastie will not boot from DVD or the Floppy, but willingly boots the former VMware drive. The HD's are all "SATA" type, the DVD is IDE and the Floppy is, well, floppy. Well, the cable is anyway. The boot priority is DVD first, FD second, HD third. Upon boot, it acts as if the DVD and FD are not installed. I tried another physical DVD, and cables for DVD and FD. Not a hint of activity on the drives, except during power on and POST. If I remove the HD's from the boot sequence, leaving only the DVD and FD, there is still no observable activity on the drives (seeking sounds, LED blinks, NADA) and the process halts with F1, no boot found, press a key. This used to work fine, I know, as I installed VMWARE via DVD, oh, so long ago. Gasp, I wax nostalgic. Which is quite different than waxing Brazilian. So I'm told TIA. In advance. joe a.

Can a bad connection in HDMI cable lock a computer? Machine runs Leap 15.5 at the moment. Video is old nvidia card. I had a hard lock after some hours or running, and then it was impossible to boot, it crashed (locked) at several places. After disconnect/reconnect hdmi cable both ends, it booted as is working. I also banged the cabinet, a known remedy for all things ;-) -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from openSUSE 15.5 (Laicolasse))

Can you help with rename files? (a bit offtopic, sorry)
by Daniel Bauer 24 Dec '23

24 Dec '23

Hi, I have lots of files named like 07X55c_IMG_0155.png where 07X55c is a random text of varable lengths which I want to cut so that the file will be renamed to IMG_0155.png In my simple-mindedness I just opened mc, selected all the files and typed in the rename dialog replace *IMG* by IMG* The result though, as you for sure knew (but me only now) were files named like IMG07X55c_ - not what I expected :-( No need to say, but anyway: I have not the slightest idea of regular expressions and such sophisticated things, so that I kindly ask you for your help: how can I rename all files in a directory, cutting off the variable length part before "IMG" and keeping all the rest on the right side of IMG unchanged. Thanks for making me a little bit more enlightened!

Backup/restore question
by Fred 22 Dec '23

22 Dec '23

Internet search is going nowhere on this: I have a backup of my home dir from OS 15.0 and am going to do a fresh install of 15.5, with the idea that I can restore the home backup. Not having done this before, what issues do you see me having? I have a crapload of stuff on this system that, although dated, is working. I would hate to break it. Obviously all the documents are no prob, ditto the pictures (I started to say images but that would conjure up a different "image"). The shared dir with VirtualBox is ok but I think that I would have to install the latest VB, which has its own problem with finding the product codes of the win systems there. I seem to remember looking in the registry for that info. Maybe things like browser history or bookmarks or saved passwords (not sure where they are stored, maybe not in /home) I am not sure what else is going to blindside me, which is the reason for the shout out. Thanks

Mongodb
by Roger Oberholtzer 22 Dec '23

22 Dec '23

Hi all, I am exploring using a Google image database ( https://storage.googleapis.com/openimages/web/index.html) to train a local YOLO/Darknet neural network. As it contains 1.9 million images, I obviously need to be selective about the things I want to train for. So I was looking at the suggested FiftyOne application (https://docs.voxel51.com/index.html). Looks promising. Except I cannot run it. I get an error that mongod (which I guess is a MongoDB access daemon) cannot be found. I recognize the name. But I have not used it. I searched on OBS to see if it is available. All I see are some user packages that are all failing. This surprised me as I would have thought MongoDB was a big thing in the Python world. And SUSE do support Python. My questions are: Is anyone using MongoDB on openSUSE, especially Tumbleweed? If so, where did you find it? I looked at building MongoDB and saw this odd requirement ( https://github.com/mongodb/mongo/blob/master/docs/building.md): "About 13 GB of free disk space for the core binaries (mongod, mongos, and mongo) and about 600 GB for the install-all target." A typo? They meant MB instead of GB? BTW, it is specifically mongod that FiftyOne complains about. There is no populated database when building and installing it. So what on earth can require 600GB? As an aside, I was just introduced to the Python 3.11 feature that does not like one to mix using zypper and pip. I prefer zypper as it maintains things as part of my regular updating. And so that method is enabled by default. The complaint is about an 'externally-managed-environment'. To be honest it makes sense. I have always wondered how mixing zypper and pip would work. My solution was to make a Python virtual environment for this. And that uses pip because FiftyOne seems only available via pip. TIA for any pointers. -- Roger Oberholtzer

How can openSUSE udev rule for /dev/ttyACM0 impact communication with the device?
by David C. Rankin 21 Dec '23

21 Dec '23

All, This is way in the weeds of a udev question -- something I know little about, but I've pulled my hair out trying to find out why when connected to openSUSE the device simply doesn't provide I/O responses from the Pico after high-activity on the Pico? Simply rebooting into windows, same Pico, same USB same everything -- all works. Unplug the Pico, carry 8-foot to Arch box, plug-in, everything works, reboot openSUSE, carry Pico back from Arch box, plug into same USB as before and no output after high-activity on the Pico on openSUSE. The card isn't locked, simply pressing Enter restores shell prompt, so it is just something happening on the USB port that is preventing *some* I/O from coming through. minicom, picocom, tip, doesn't matter. 9600 baud or 115200 baud, doesn't matter, there is just something about how /dev/ttyACM0 is configured or accessed on openSUSE that is causing the issue. stty settings are exactly the same between Arch and openSUSE. When hooked to the Arch box, access is from openSUSE via ssh using the same terminal. Peering through udevadm info output there are subtle difference in how the udev rule sets up the device which has me wondering if those small differences in setup is what is responsible for the behavior I see. I don't know enough about it to know so I need help. The Archlinux udevadmin info output for /dev/ttyACM0 is at: https://paste.opensuse.org/bb73cdfe5dd7 The openSUSE udevadmin info output for /dev/ttyACM0 is at: https://paste.opensuse.org/2c4d323524ee The only things that stand out are the openSUSE configures "kids" info for the device while Arch has no "kids" and there are difference in some settings, these being some that were noted, e.g. Arch: ATTRS{manufacturer}=="Raspberry Pi" ... (power/async not set) ATTRS{power/control}=="on" ATTRS{power/level}=="on" ... ATTRS{power/runtime_status}=="active" ATTRS{power/runtime_suspended_time}=="0" ... ATTRS{quirks}=="0x0" ATTRS{removable}=="unknown" ATTRS{remove}=="(not readable)" ATTRS{rx_lanes}=="1" ATTRS{serial}=="E6612483CB6D7F25" ATTRS{speed}=="12" ATTRS{tx_lanes}=="1" ATTRS{urbnum}=="250" ATTRS{version}==" 1.10" looking at parent device '/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.3': ... ATTRS{consistent_dma_mask_bits}=="32" ATTRS{d3cold_allowed}=="0" ATTRS{device}=="0x27cb" ATTRS{dma_mask_bits}=="32" openSUSE: ATTRS{manufacturer}=="Raspberry Pi" ... ATTRS{power/async}=="enabled" ATTRS{power/control}=="auto" ATTRS{power/level}=="auto" ... ATTRS{power/runtime_status}=="suspended" ATTRS{power/runtime_suspended_time}=="75332" ... ATTRS{product}=="Picoprobe" ATTRS{quirks}=="0x0" ATTRS{removable}=="unknown" ATTRS{rx_lanes}=="1" ATTRS{serial}=="E6612483CB6D7F25" ATTRS{speed}=="12" ATTRS{tx_lanes}=="1" ATTRS{urbnum}=="273" ATTRS{version}==" 1.10" looking at parent device '/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1c.7/0000:26:00.0': ... ATTRS{consistent_dma_mask_bits}=="64" ATTRS{current_link_speed}=="5.0 GT/s PCIe" ATTRS{current_link_width}=="1" ATTRS{d3cold_allowed}=="1" ATTRS{device}=="0x0194" ATTRS{dma_mask_bits}=="64" But admittedly, those settings do not mean much to me. Can anyone think of any difference in udev that may explain the I/O with the pico not all being there on openSUSE, but being 100% fine when rebooting to windows, or when plugging the connection into any other box I have? Having eliminated everything else I can think of and having tested the same Pico on the same USB port on my laptop and then having tested plugged into any other box, there is something different about the /dev/ttyACM0 device when it is connected to openSUSE - but I can't quite figure out what. All help, ideas, welcomed. This was uncovered as part of an issue being worked on github, though not 100% related to the port, it contains all the elimination of other possibilities of what it could be (for any interested reader): https://github.com/carlk3/no-OS-FatFS-SD-SPI-RPi-Pico/issues/91 -- David C.

Extra NTP server address
by James Knott 20 Dec '23

20 Dec '23

I run my own NTP server, which can be reached with both IPv4 and IPv6. However, when I check with Wireshark, I see NTP requests going not only to my server, but also to an IPv4 address on the Internet. This happens with both my desktop system and ThinkPad, but they have different external addresses, in addition to my server. I use the host name for the server address in NTP Configuration. Any idea where that other address comes from?

how does file encrypt work?
by Daniel Bauer 17 Dec '23

17 Dec '23

For you maybe a strange question, but I don't understand... I want to encrypt a folder so that it can only be opened using a password. I use dolphin (in KDE) right click on a folder and chose actions->pack and encrypt folder ("Ordner packen und verschlüsseln) In the following dialog I deselect "encrypt for others" and select "encrypt with Password", enter the password, click ok. A "foldername.tar.pgp" is created. It is encrypted. Then I right-click that file, select actions->decrypt and the decrypted folder is created immediately without asking me the password. So what's the use of this encryption when it can be decrypted without the password??? How do I encrypt a folder so that it actually can only be decrypted using a password? Thanks for clarification!

With the forthcoming update of suse-module-tools, the list of disabled file systems will grow: f2fs, hfsplus, jfss2, kafs, ntfs3, orangefs, pstore, romfs, and zonefs will then be blacklisted, too. This means that the respective kernel modules will not be auto-loaded, and that the system won't be able to access media with such file systems immediately when they are inserted. To override this, run "sudo modprobe $FS_MODULE" in a terminal. You will have the option to load the module just once, or un-blacklist it for future use. I've created https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:FilesystemBlacklisting with more details and a rationale. Regards Martin

I know there is the original bitcoin wallet, but that cannot handle ETH. So I am looking for a free, if possible open-source, wallet that does not depend on some online company and that can handle both currencies (or, in the worst case, a wallet for ETH only, and handle bitcoin in its original wallet). I don't need any sophisticated market tools. I need to be able to receive and send cryptos, and maybe one day exchange them to real money. Any hints? Thanks, and have a nice evening.

Polkit fails to start

openSuse 15.5 KDE & Virtualbox Windows 10 can't log in
by James Knott 11 Dec '23

11 Dec '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

Copy and Paste does not work while installing programs
by Per Inge Oestmoen 11 Dec '23

11 Dec '23

Hello all! I have four machines here, all with openSUSE Leap 15.4. With three of them there are no particular problems, but with the one I am using now there is a consistent, reproducible error: When I am installing a number of programs, I normally copy my password when installing the first in the row. Then, it is easy to paste in the same password for each successive installation. However, with this machine that is impossible. I copy the password, but after I have exited the dialog box the copied password is erased from memory and I have to type the password each time when doing the subsequent installations. Further; as long as I have the dialog box open the password copied is kept in memory and can be pasted into a document I made to test this, but when I close the dialog box in order to go to Yast2 the password is evidently erased since it then cannot be pasted into the document. It is gone, but on my other machines it is kept in memory and can be pasted into the dialog box. See the attached screen shot; that is where it happens. What configuration error have I inadvertently made, since the password is not kept in memory on this one machine? Sincerely, Per Inge Oestmoen, Norway

mdraid scrubbing collides with iscsi
by Per Jessen 10 Dec '23

10 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.

R.I.P. Leap 15.4 - It was a Great One
by David C. Rankin 07 Dec '23

07 Dec '23

All, With Marcus's message on the announce list, support for 15.4 has come to an end (at least the openssl3 fix made it in today). It has been another great openSUSE release. It will join SUSE 7.0, 8.0. 8.2 and 9.0 Pro, 10.0 10.3, openSUSE 11.0, 11.4 and then the Leap(s). Looking forward to 15.5 and 15.6! -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

KDE help from a practical time
by David C. Rankin 07 Dec '23

07 Dec '23

All, To celebrate the list working again, I'll pass along something that brought a smile to my face a bit ago. I was looking at help for kcalc, and I noticed a entry for long-double precision and clicked it: https://paste.opensuse.org/pastes/b1300d1770a4 Remember when user-choice and customization was the touchstone of Linux? Back when the help pages told you about defines to tailor the app to your needs and then a simple: ./configure make make install The good ole days.... :) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Bring back the magic
by Ben T. Fender 05 Dec '23

05 Dec '23

Thanks to the David C.R. post about KDE help from a 'practical' time, and without wanting to dilute THAT article, I decided to test my luck betting on significant KDE seniority lurking here in the shadows. If anyone remembers the NAME of that once great little KDE utility, it would help someone else maybe interested in resurrecting it. My memory is still as sharp as a razor blade but it ain't much wider than it's edge. https://discuss.kde.org/t/bring-back-the-magic-cascading-menu-quick-access-… Any info that helps to track it down might help. I started with Suse 4.xy and KDE was also in those lows, this utility came a ltt;le later, maybe in the 6's or 7's. TIA -- Sooner than later all the Co2 reduction just causes gas to hit $100/liter and food production to become limited to weed-killer resistant GMO seeds; whoopie hsit... h'rrah for EXXON & MONSANTO or WTF.

15.5
by Fred 05 Dec '23

05 Dec '23

I am back in the fold. With this laptop. I had installed Netrunner 21.01 on it about a year ago and everything just worked. Awesome, never had that happen before so I kept it. Fast forward to Saturday and I decided to install v.23 and get some newer software. Bad idea. It didn't pick up the wifi, which made it careen into the ditch. After trying several times to get it to work, I installed OS 15.5 and it just worked. Everything seems to be working so far except for the %$#@! system going into screensaver after a period of time ( 5 mins, I think). I have not been able to find the setting and it is about on my last nerve. Other than that, it is a full blown desktop running on this I7-8550 hardware with 256GB SSD and 16GB ram. So far, so good.

[oS-EN] Unreadable colours when using mc in konsole
by Carlos E. R. 05 Dec '23

05 Dec '23

Hi, See the photo: https://paste.opensuse.org/pastes/040273b5b4dc The colours of mc in konsole render the text invisible, depending on the file type. You can see that the same directories in xterm are perfectly visible. Are there any konsole settings to correct the situation? -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from openSUSE 15.5 (Laicolasse))

Leap 15.5 KDE - Shaky video
by James Knott 04 Dec '23

04 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.

[oS-EN] I have finished with KDE/Plasma/X11
by Carlos E. R. 04 Dec '23

04 Dec '23

Hi, My testing of KDE/Plasma/X11 has been terminated. I noticed some weird behaviour. Firefox not loading a page, then ctrl-alt-tab displaying a black rectangle, and finally, KDE stopped reacting to mouse and keyboard. The mouse moved, but I could do nothing with it. I had to ctrl-alt-backspace it. And this has happened twice. After some days with the same session, it dies. I can not work with this, so I'm back to XFCE. I really did like some of KDE features, but not at this price. I'm sorry. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from openSUSE 15.5 (Laicolasse))

Samsung Flip5 no USB Tethering
by Ben T. Fender 04 Dec '23

04 Dec '23

I tried this on Tumbleweed, it may or may not be a Suse or`even a Linux issue. For USB tethering there is a switch to turn ON, once ON the comnputer is supposed to recognize it and net browsing may begin (the way I understand it no other action being required). I don't know if NetworkManager would show the usb cable or what? It shows nothing, and there is NO internet given to the computer (wifi hotspotting DOES work). However, when I next turn the USB Thethering switch OFF then I get a popup asking if I want to allow the phone to share data with the computer. Clicking yes opens a file manager & data transfer becomes possible. The first procedure is documented but doesn't work, the second one isn't but does. Any ideas?

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?

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

keyboard becomes extremely slow
by mh＠mike.franken.de 26 Nov '23

26 Nov '23

Hi *, for some time now I have a problem with the keyboard on my notebook. It becomes extremely slow, i.e. only one or two keypresses are shown every 10 seconds. Special keyboard shortcuts like Alt-F4 or Ctrl-F5 are working as expected. Switching to a Linux console with Ctrl-Alt-[0-9] is still working, too. In the Linux console typing works without any problems then. Switching back to KDE again/still shows the problem. The only "solution" I found is to logout and login. For a while the keyboard then works as expected, until the same problem reoccurs. The intervals the problem shows up vary between once an evening to every 10 minutes. It happens in all programs one can type anything, i.e. OO Writer, graphical terminals or even dialog boxes of any kind. It happens with the internal notebook keyboard and also with an external USB keyboard. Machine: Type: Convertible System: Dell product: XPS 13 9310 2-in-1 v: N/A ´ openSUSE Tumbleweed 20230509 Any idea, what the reason might be and what to do against it? TIA. Bye. Michael.
