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

05 Aug '24

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

No grub after updating to 15.6
by Mark Hounschell 05 Aug '24

05 Aug '24

I updated a 15.5 box to 15.6 via the "zypper dup" method referenced at https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:System_upgrade. #init 3 #sed -i 's/15.5/${releasever}/g' /etc/zypp/repos.d/*.repo #zypper --releasever=15.6 refresh #zypper --releasever=15.6 dup No errors. Then rebooted. It hangs at grub: GRUB loading. Welcome to GRUB! error: ../../grub=core/kern/dl.c:380:symbol 'grub_verify_string" not found.

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

05 Aug '24

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

Hi, recently I received a HP Pavilion DV6 laptop. Installed openSUSE Tumbleweed 20240801 on the machine. I can play an audio CD with VLC.

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

04 Aug '24

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

L13 Yoga: can't resume from suspend (s2idle) unless I plug AC cable
by lst7cqtfws＠ol1y.com 03 Aug '24

03 Aug '24

Hi! After being suspended for a while (30 min?) my laptop gets so energy efficient it doesn't wake up when opening the lid or pressing power button. Plugging the AC cable wakes it up enough pressing ESC at the same time wakes the laptop up. Any ideas on how can I fix this? OS: openSUSE Tumbleweed, clean install Last time this worked: before updating the BIOS for the last time. Currently testing: enabling all wakeup sources from /proc/acpi/wakeups to workaround it. Model: Thinkpad L13 YOGA BIOS: R1FET58W (1.32 ) Product Name: 20VKCTO1WW Version: ThinkPad L13 Yoga Gen 2

Early distro update to Leap 15.6
by Darryl Gregorash 03 Aug '24

03 Aug '24

The 15.6 release candidate is now fixed, so I am thinking of doing a system upgrade now to resolve two issues with 15.5, one long-standing, the other occurring within the last week. Are there any issues which might make that a bad idea? If not, will another full update be needed when the final version is released on June 12?

Kernel update error Leap 15.6 KDE
by James Knott 02 Aug '24

I updated my ThinkPad to 15.6 several weeks ago. It went well. However, whenever the software updates runs, it lists kernel default, default extra and default optional version 6.4.0-150600.21.3. When I try to install those, I get an error "Update Error There is no update candidate for ..." However, Yast software management shows 6.4.0-150600.23.7.3 is installed. Any idea how to clear this? Why it's trying to install old versions? tnx jk

neither nvidia nor amd video
by bent fender 02 Aug '24

02 Aug '24

Mobo = Crosshair-IV-Formula PSU = Thermaltake Smart 600w Is there any reason why I cannot install TW or use the Live dvd with an older 8gb nvidia card that previously had used the the g05 package? I get the boot screen but eventually just a blank screen (think it's a gt640 or similar). With a new 16gb Dual Radeon Rx7600 I don't even get to a boot menu and usb-dvd boot is also impossible. The new card is being returned but I need to know if maybe it's Linux-incompatible so as not to consider another one. TIA

Leap 15.6 randomly suspends

01 Aug '24

Hello, never had this issue with Leap <=15.4. The PC randomly (sometimes after days, sometimes only after a few hours of now HID-input) goes into suspend mode: (from /var/log/messages: ) 2024-07-30T20:57:09.297900+02:00 lambda systemd[1]: suspend.target: Collecting.

But that is not the issue, I do not want the PC to go into suspend mode at all. Can't find anything related in /etc/sysconfig or any file related to suspend/sleep in /etc. If it is somehow caused by the display or window manager, I use GDM and Gnome, but in the latter's setting suspend is also disabled.

zypper lu shows kernel 6.10 update, but no NVidia G04 yet - any idea on driver build timeframe?
by David C. Rankin 01 Aug '24

01 Aug '24

Devs, I see the 6.10 kernel is ready to install, but the NVidia G04 driver hasn't yet been built for it. I posted a patch for the G04 (390.xx driver) for the 6.10 kernel at https://paste.opensuse.org/pastes/02624819560b to update the change to follow_pfn() in conftest.h. The original ver. 535 patch from which it was created can be found here https://gitlab.com/herecura/packages/nvidia-535xx-utils/-/blob/d1199ffe128f… Any guess on when the Tumbleweed driver packages may be available? -- David C.

USB headset issue
by Fred 01 Aug '24

01 Aug '24

My system is Leap 15.5 and recently I acquired 2 USB headsets (over-the-ear speakers and boom mic) and as of yet I am unable to figure out how to make either of them work. I did get audio out to them once but the system has yet to see the mic, it doesn't see any sound hardware except that on the mobo. Yes, it was late and no, I don't remember what I was doing to get the sound to the headset. Any clues toward resolving this would be appreciated. Thanks, Fred

Any word on 6.10 for TW?
by David C. Rankin 31 Jul '24

Devs, all, Just curious what the outlook for the Tumbleweed update to Linux 6.10 is looking like? Are we looking at a couple weeks for testing to settle down, drivers to be updated, etc.? Not a complaint, just trying to get an idea when we may see the kernel update so I can set aside time to deal with the Nvidia G04 driver if needed. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Printer Problems and Suggestions?
by Lew Wolfgang 31 Jul '24

31 Jul '24

Hi Folks, I've got a conundrum going on here. I have a Xerox 6180 color laser printer here that's about 15-years old. Recently it started to print a blue streak down one side of the paper and to add speckles at random. This is likely the cyan toner cartridge that's leaking, but the darned thing costs $150 or so. But if I bought a new one it might not fix the problem! So I thought about just buying a new printer, maybe one with a built- in scanner. The Brother MFC-L3780CDW looks nice, but will all the functions work with Leap? Does anyone have any experience with that printer? So both paths have risk. The problem might not be the cyan cartridge in the Xerox printer, and the Brother might not be compatible with Leap! What am I to do! Any suggestions will be appreciated! BTW, I've got a Canon ink-jet printer that never did work with Linux. I had to run Windows in Virtualbox to use it. Not particularly satisfying, and now even that doesn't work. Regards, Lew

I am at 15.5 fixing to upgrade to 15.6. But I think I need to fix the below error first. I get this when in yast2 I click on "Yast Software Repositories". Errors occurred while restoring the repository configuration. Error refreshing service openSUSE (dir:/usr/share/zypp/local/service/openSUSE): [openSUSE:repo-oss|http://cdn.opensuse.org/distribution/leap/15.5/repo/oss] Repository already exists. Regards Mark

avidemux on Tumbleweed
by jdd＠dodin.org 30 Jul '24

30 Jul '24

Hello, just a word to say I could finally make avidemux work on openSUSE Tumbleweed, even in an ugly way... here: https://www.snapfiles.com/downloads/Avidemux/dlAvidemux.html you can download not a snap file but an exe file for Windows, and this one runs on Wine... so install Wine from zypper, download "Avidemux_2.8.1VC64bits.exe" and running "wine Avidemux_2.8.1VC64bits.exe" installs avidemux and then it's available on kde menus (wine part) why not directly on linux: because it don't compile. Some library(ies) don't works. Appimage dont works either (load the video, but with only sound, no image, weird). I love avidemux to cut a 4 hours take in small chunks, like this: http://dodin.org/piwigo/index.php?/category/10933 thanks reading jdd -- https://artdagio.fr

Hi, is the list server - lists.opensuse.org acting up? I can no longer send to, and am not receiving emails from the users, factory, kde, and packaging @lists.opensuse.org mail lists. I am using the website at lists.opensuse.org to post/start this thread cuz I can't do it from Thunderbird any more. I tried changing my password but no joy. FYI - I ran some tests from mxtoolbox.com on my email server, nothing wrong with it... Marc...

Is there a Virtualbox Non-OSE rpm for Tumbleweed?
by David C. Rankin 27 Jul '24

27 Jul '24

All, I'm not great deciphering the various virtualbox 7.0.20 rpm names in the various OSS or community repositories to tell if the rpm is Oracle branded non-OSE with USB support. Virtualbox puts out rpms for openSUSE for the non-OSE version, but only has 15.3 as the latest rpm (which is used for Leap 15.4 and 15.5) E.g. in https://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/rpm/opensuse/ or if you prefer https://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/7.0.20/ I've not yet installed virtualbox on Tumbleweed for that reason. Any help would be appreciated. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

How to extract a file from a package for comparison purposes?
by Marc Chamberlin 27 Jul '24

27 Jul '24

Is there a way to extract a single file, or set of files from a package in one of he OpenSuSE repositories? I simply want to compare a file that I have configured/made changes to, with the original version of that file as it was installed on my system. My head is hurting from attempting DuckDuckGo research (found no joy looking at documentation for Yast, RPM, and Zypper. Maybe, NOT certain, YUM but dunno if usable) and figure I will just ask the gurus in this forum... I am running OpenSuSE 15.4 and 15.5 with the KDE/Plasma desktop if that is helpful. Thanks in advance as always, Marc....

Tumbleweed (probably others) mozilla repo firefox-esr and thunderbird create 1 zombie each on start?
by David C. Rankin 26 Jul '24

26 Jul '24

All, This is a curiosity that I'd like to understand. When thunderbird or firefox-esr start, then create a defunct process. I don't recall what the type was on 15.4, but now 'ps afx` list the processes as zombies: 2521 ? Z 0:00 | \_ [firefox-esr] <defunct> 4046 ? Z 0:00 | \_ [thunderbird-bin] <defunct> The apps are running fine, but what is this defunct process that is created? Is it a startup wrapper that dies after it's done leaving the child process running and nothing to reap the parent/wrapper? Both are installs from the mozilla repo and on Tumbleweed that is: $ rq firefox-esr MozillaThunderbird firefox-esr-128.0-4.1.x86_64 MozillaThunderbird-115.13.0-2.1.x86_64 What say the wizards - crystal balls firing on all 8 tonight? -- David C.

Ispell Issues
by Lew Wolfgang 25 Jul '24

25 Jul '24

Hi Folks, One of my users complained that ispell wasn't installed on his Leap 15.5 system. So I ran "zypper in ispell" for him using the default ispell-american dictionary. But when run it complains: "Can't open /usr/lib/ispell/english.hash" The hashes are apparently built with the "buildhash" program. Apparently this wasn't run as part of the zypper process. When run manually it prompts for paths/files and things. Rather than start guessing what it needs I thought I run the question by the experts here. Note that ispell works okay on Leap 15.5 systems upgraded from 15.4. It only fails on 15.5 installed from scratch. But it works on a Leap 15.6 system upgraded from 15.5, 15.4, 15.3... Go figure. Regards, Lew

Run part of Qt program as root? (setting ACPI_video0)
by David C. Rankin 24 Jul '24

24 Jul '24

All, I wrote a small Qt app to adjust the display backlight on my laptop: https://paste.opensuse.org/pastes/a67b89db433f It will be a systray app like kmix. As part of the program I write to /sys/class/backlight/ACPI_video0/brightness which is owned by root with 0644 permissions. I have a bash script that does it, but simply using sudo is enough, but how to do the same thing in Qt? I guess I could wrap the write in a system() call using sudo -- but is there a better way to do this? I'd rather not make the executable setuid-root, or something wonky like that. Is there a way to configure the /sys/class/backlight/... file to be owned by the video or wheel group and make users a member of that group? Maybe a new backlight group? If I run it as root, all is well, but if I run as me, it fails, e.g. root: # ./nvidia-bl-qt3 setting backlight: 5 setting backlight: 4 setting backlight: 3 setting backlight: 2 setting backlight: 1 setting backlight: 2 setting backlight: 3 setting backlight: 4 setting backlight: 5 setting backlight: 6 setting backlight: 7 setting backlight: 8 setting backlight: 9 setting backlight: 10 me: $ ./nvidia-bl-qt3 setting backlight: 8 error: file open failed '/sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness' setting backlight: 9 error: file open failed '/sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness' setting backlight: 10 error: file open failed '/sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness' setting backlight: 11 error: file open failed '/sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness' setting backlight: 12 error: file open failed '/sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness' setting backlight: 11 error: file open failed '/sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness' setting backlight: 10 error: file open failed '/sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness' This is Qt3 (as you could guess from the name), but if you have a way in the current Qt(5/6), I'll dig backwards and find out what the prior equivalent was. Or I could just rewrite in Qt5. === I can't susepaste from TW with my nick and key from 15.4? === Also, why can't I susepaste from TW with my key anymore? I can do it anonymous, but if I pass my nick (-n) and key (-k) copied from 15.4 it always fails? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Leap 15.6 Building kernel module

I am trying to build a kernel module out of the kernel source tree. I am trying this on leap 15.6 I am pretty sure that the module in question supports this. I am guessing that I am missing some additional package. The complaint is as follows: *** *** Making pcan driver in netdev mode *** *** Host OS Release=openSUSE Leap v15.6 *** Host machine kernel version=6.4.12-1-default *** Driver kernel version=6.4.12-1-default (6.4.12) *** Path to kernel sources=/usr/src/linux *** use KBUILD=yes *** use DKMS= *** gcc version=7 *** make -C /usr/src/linux EXTRA_CFLAGS="-I/home/rst/source.18.00/peak-linux-driver-8.18.0/driver -DNO_DEBUG -DMODVERSIONS -DNO_PARPORT_SUBSYSTEM -DUSB_SUPPORT -DPCI_SUPPORT -DPCIEC_SUPPORT -DISA_SUPPORT -DNO_DONGLE_SUPPORT -DNO_PCCARD_SUPPORT -DNETDEV_ SUPPORT -DNO_RT -Wno-date-time" V=0 modules M=/home/rst/source.18.00/peak-linux-driver-8.18.0/driver make[3]: Entering directory '/usr/src/linux-6.4.0-150600.23.14' ERROR: Kernel configuration is invalid. include/generated/autoconf.h or include/config/auto.conf are missing.

I thought that kernel-devel had all the required header files. But I guess it's looking for how the kernel was configured. Is that info in a package I have missed? The module I am after is a Peak systems CANbus driver. It is supposed to be part of the kernel. I don't recall having to do this with earlier Leap releases. The driver seems not to be enabled anymore. Odd as it is a commonly used CANBus interface. -- Roger Oberholtzer

Tumbleweed - error enabling freshclam?
by David C. Rankin 23 Jul '24

23 Jul '24

All, I went to start freshclam.service as stated in https://en.opensuse.org/ClamAV and I received the following error: # 02:01 wizard:.../cnf/gtk4/themes] # sc enable freshclam The unit files have no installation config (WantedBy=, RequiredBy=, UpheldBy=, Also=, or Alias= settings in the [Install] section, and DefaultInstance= for template units). This means they are not meant to be enabled or disabled using systemctl. Possible reasons for having these kinds of units are: • A unit may be statically enabled by being symlinked from another unit's .wants/, .requires/, or .upholds/ directory. • A unit's purpose may be to act as a helper for some other unit which has a requirement dependency on it. • A unit may be started when needed via activation (socket, path, timer, D-Bus, udev, scripted systemctl call, ...). • In case of template units, the unit is meant to be enabled with some instance name specified. freshclam.timer did enable properly. Do we not need to enable freshclam anymore? If so, is the wiki out of date? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Tumbleweed - is ~/.xprofile sourced? It is in 15.4, but it doesn't appear to be in TW?
by David C. Rankin 19 Jul '24

19 Jul '24

Devs, Strange observation. I configure the console bell and typematic rate in ~/.xprofile. It was sourced and worked fine on 15.4, but it doesn't seem to be sourced on TW. If it's not, what changed and where would I set it to be sourced again? In TW there is no /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc, just xinitrc.common and no /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession. What is the recommended way or where should I put custom xset ... commands to run on desktop start? Should we just create a custom /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc with something like: #!/bin/sh [ -f /etc/xprofile ] && . /etc/xprofile [ -f ~/.xprofile ] && . ~/.xprofile ? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

keepassxc cannot open if qt5ct used and /usr/bin/keepassxc ignored under Troubleshooting tab?
by David C. Rankin 19 Jul '24

19 Jul '24

All, I installed qt5ct to help theme the qt5 apps I have. Upon install it uses a default Fusion theme with huge fonts. The made keepassxc look really bad (think 14pt Arial equivalent on a laptop). So I reduced the font and set a dark theme -- and keepassxc looks okay, but not as good as its default styling look. One particular problem is the alternating-row coloring have a lot of contrast making folders/groups with lots of entries hard to read. qt5ct has a Troubleshooting tab (last one) where you can add programs to exclude from the qt5 styling (which should be just what I want, let keepassxc use its own styling) However, after I told qt5ct to exclude/ignore /usr/bin/keepassxc and tried to start keepassxc again, the window decoration flashes for a moment and then the keepassxc crashes (not good). Removing /usr/bin/keepassxc from the ignored app list allows it to start again, but themed per qt5ct. Has anyone else had success ignoring apps in qt5ct? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Other than possibly seeing the version number fly by during update -- there is no notice to you that irreversible modifications will take place on next thunderbird start. 115 will remain supported until October with 3 more releases planned -- if you would like to let the new 128 get a bit of broader testing before taking the plunge. Thunderbird 128 also comes with a new UI called ("nebula"). I'm always a bit hesitant with new UIs - but at least The Register notes there are things to like about it. Long story short, if you are on TW or SlowRoll, expect this to show up shortly. If you want to continue with 115 while the initial bugs are worked out, you need to lock thunderbird and do explicit updates specifying the version. If you are on Leap, also keep an eye out, mid-release major version changes for tbird and firefox are not uncommon. INSURANCE - backup your 115 profile BEFORE the update so you preserve the option of going back if you need to. I liked the 115 UI ("supernova"), and since the 128 UI also includes a "compact" mode -- I suspect it will be good as well (of course with a few gripes -- just to keep them honest...) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Screen doesn't shut off when radio site on Desktop 2, but does when on Dt 1
by Daniel Bauer 17 Jul '24

17 Jul '24

Hi, it's not very important, but a bit annoying, so maybe somebody knows if I can change this behavior: I work on Desktop 1. On Desktop 2 a web radio stream runs in a seamonkey window. The desktop does *not* shut off after a time of inactivity (showing login screen, and a bit later getting black). When I have this radio window on Desktop 1, the screen shuts off as it should. What makes the difference whether the stream window is on Desktop 1 or 2? This in KDE 5.27.9, OS 15.5 Any idea? Thanks, Daniel [unimportant details] the radio stream is https://www.srf.ch/audio/radio-srf-3-live-hoeren One can switch to video which would it make understandable that the screen lock is prevented, but I run only the audio. It doesn't matter if the stream window is active(visible) on the appropriate desktop or minimized: Screen lock is prevented when it's on Desktop 2, but not, when it's on Desktop 1. (DRS3 is very boring Swiss radio with only about 50 songs that constantly repeat, but it makes a bit of noise in the background while I'm working, has no advertising spots and talks in my native language... the only excuse I have :-) ) -- Daniel Bauer photographer Basel Málaga Twitter: @Marsfotografo (often explicit nudes) https://www.patreon.com/danielbauer https://www.daniel-bauer.com (nudes)

mozilla repo has FF 115.13.0 and 128.0 esr and dups to 128 for TW (not backwards compatible)
by David C. Rankin 15 Jul '24

15 Jul '24

TW users, Small note. I noticed Firefox 115.13.0 was in the mozilla repo and ready to install (which I had been waiting for). So I did zypper dup. To my surprise, 128.0esr was installed instead of 115.13. No problem, a quick downgrade should do. BAM == "Warning you are launching an older version of firefox that will corrupt bookmarks, etc.." WTF? Apparently, the 115 to 128 update is not reversible from the Firefox profile standpoint -- so if you wish to stay with 115.13 - install it explicitly. I'll just stick with the 128 - not worth jacking with profiles just to stay on the same major version. But, it would be nice to have some type warning before irreversible changes are made to the FF profile -- like a dialog before the changes -- to preserve the ability to stay with a major version -- if needed. Here, there probably won't be too many more 115 updates, but still a surprise. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Why does mozilla repo have FF 115.12.0 for 15.4 and 115.11.0 for TW?
by David C. Rankin 15 Jul '24

15 Jul '24

All, Devs, Wolfgang, I found a seeming contradiction in Firefox versioning between Leap 15.4 and Tumbleweed in the mozilla repository. The following versions are current: Leap 15.4 - Firefox 115.12.0esr Tumbleweed - Firefox 115.11.0esr Is this just a timing thing where TW will be updated but just hasn't been built yet, or is there a dependency issue causing problems? -- David C.

Shim error message about "blocked executable in ESP"

Question: does Tumbleweed by chance uses "boot-repair" by default? I ask this because of: https://github-wiki-see.page/m/fwupd/fwupd/wiki/Blocked-executable-in-the-E… I have here a machine the continues to complain about: Blocked executable in the ESP, ensure grub and shim are up to date: /boot/efi/ EFI/grub/shim.efi Authenticode checksum [be435df7cd28aa2a7c8db4fc8173475b77e5abf392f76b7c76fa3f698cb71a9a] is present in dbx As there is no dual boot, it could be a similar issue.

Help! secure boot is preventing boot of debian, after opensuse update
by Richmond 15 Jul '24

15 Jul '24

I have a PC with two operating systems installed, Debian, and Opensuse. Both are installed with Secure Boot. Each has its own grub installation. Normally I boot debian, and if I want to boot opensuse I select UEFI settings from the main menu and select opensuse from there which launches the opensuse grub. Today I booted opensuse, and did an update which included an update to grub. Now I cannot boot debian as it says bad shim or bad signature. Each grub menu has the alternate O.S. on it, but booting debian from the opensuse grub menu did not work either. Should I disable secure boot temporarily? will that allow booting?

Yast-Firewall - shouldn't it restart firewall when changes are made?
by David C. Rankin 15 Jul '24

15 Jul '24

All, I rarely mess with the firewall in Yast, so this may be expected behavior. I made changes to allow remote LAN connections to a postgresql database. The connections failed claiming port 5432 wasn't open on my laptop. I used Yast firewall to put the wireless connection on "home", set it as default and added postgresql to the allowed services and clicked "Accept". The remote connections continued to fail, so I used netstat to check whether the port was open with: $ sudo netstat -tulpn | grep LISTEN Neither postgresql or port 5432 was shown. This seemed bizarre. So I manually restarted firewalld (e.g. sudo systemctl restart firewalld) and bingo, the port was open. Isn't Yast-Firewall supposed to restart firewalld after changes are made? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Latest cinelerra release is for 15.2 - will this work for TW?
by David C. Rankin 11 Jul '24

11 Jul '24

All, I know the short answer is to "try it", but for the devs familiar with the library changes between 15.2 and TW, is there anything that would be a showstopper for installing the latest cinelerra from: https://cinelerra-gg.org/download/pkgs/leap15.2 That worked fine on 15.4. Unless there is a known ABI/API break between 15.4 and TW, I'll give it a go (so long as there are no conflicting libraries, etc.) Yell, if this is inadvisable. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Is there a cross-arm-none-eabi-gcc for Tumbleweed?

All, I need cross-arm-none-eabi-gcc for Tumbleweed. I've found community packages, but wonder if there is a Tumbleweed (or slowroll) recommended place to get these packages from. I had planned to convert to slowroll, but the wiki says that may not be advisable if you use repositories that don't provide a slowroll repo. mozilla doesn't, so I'm trying to be careful about where I draw packages from. Any recommendation on where to grab the gcc arm-none-eabi package? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

TW / Nvidia - where did /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/ go?
by David C. Rankin 08 Jul '24

08 Jul '24

All, Fresh install of Tumbleweed is progressing. US Mirrors are still in total chaos. Throughput of 0Kbs - 120Kbs is all we get. Over an hour to download KDE3, Firefox and Thunderbird... But, we did get the network up - albeit with a nmtui connect hack. Bigger issue is the sysfs backlight control interface for my laptop display is just gone. On 15.4 I use: /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness to control display brightness. With TW, I have the same Nvidia driver installed, but there is no /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0 (in fact there is nothing in /sys/class/backlight) That means I can't set the laptop display brightness and it is BLINDING. It is currently set at 100%. Where did /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0 go, and is there any way to get it back? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Why is manual symlink to vmlinux in the kernel source required for module build of

TW Net Install - Repeated Failures, US Mirror timeouts, Text Mode Loops, etc - Running 6 hours later
by David C. Rankin 07 Jul '24

07 Jul '24

All, Note on the Tumbleweed Net install ISO. Of the 20+ years I've used SUSE/openSUSE, this was by far the most frustrating and error prone install I have ever done. The US Mirrors and the magic "mirror selector" is unusable. My first 3 attempts at install ended in: Error 10 - Connection Closed with 96M left to download Connection Closed with 92M left to download Error 18 - Connection Closed with 116M left to download After selecting an individual mirror, download was limited to between 80-300Kbs. Downloading Installation System 1/6, 2/6, .... took over an hour to complete. Then a dialog was presented saying Install system matching repository must be downloaded, Download [Now] [Reboot], only to have to wait another hour as the same files were downloaded. After 2nd download completed, we were presented with Install with - GUI or Text Mode. Choosing GUI presented another dialog that the install system matching the selection would have to be downloaded throwing me back into the "Downloading Installation System 1/6, 2/6, .... " (really?) Tried a second individual mirror, same download rate 80-300Kbs (on an 300Mbs connection), same circular text mode prompts, (including being dropped out of the X-win gray screen to the console and the text prompts just showing in ther terminal) same result - never even had the installer load. Third individual mirror selection - this time connection speed was 6Mbs, Install system loaded in less than 4 minutes, Installation program finally launched and I was able to complete the install with a minimal X install in 40 minutes or so. Issues: Yast cannot configure network claiming Network Manager is managing the network -- but I have IceWM as the desktop and no Network Manager is shown or available. How do I tell yast to configure my network connections? /etc/pam.d/su - not present. I had to copy from 15.4 - why? Yast Software Repositories does not show any of the normal repositories, only Packman and libdvdcss. Where do I get the list of the normally available repos for TW? Good points: On launch of Software_Single, Yast correctly recognized the Nvidia card in the laptop and loaded the kernel source and built the driver without issue. Very nice. All in all, just getting the installer to run from this net install was the most painful exercise I've been though installing Linux. Now granted, this seems to be 99% related to the mirror-selector and the abysmal state of US mirrors. I don't know why this is, but I went through 4 individual mirrors, and 3 of 4 had no thoughput resulting in 1+ hours just to attempt to load the install system -- which would then fail. The fcix.net mirror was the only good mirror I found. In order to not get 1/2-way though only to be forced to re-download the matching install system from that mirror, I downloaded a copy of the iso from that mirror before starting the install. Otherwise, if you choose an individual mirror, the install will get 1/2 way to starting the install system only to say your media doesn't match the mirror and force you to download it in the middle of the install system load -- likely leading to the ultimate failure when just choosing an individual mirror. That should be seamless. If there is a tech requirement to download the iso from an individual mirror, then you should be notified of that as soon as you enter the url for the mirror, not an hour later after waiting for 1/6, 2/6, ... only to have to do it again. US mirrors need a bit of TLC, or the bad ones just need to be dropped. Having done this 20 times, I can muddle though, but someone just downloading the TW net install iso -- has no chance. Let me know if you want further info. I took a few pictures of my screen with my phone of the error dialogs. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Tumbleweed can't get amavisd to start

27 Jun '24

Hope this is the correct place to post this. New to Tumblewed not new to openSuSE New install of Tumbleweed on new server. Can't get postfix to deliver mail it gets a 421 when trying to talk to port 10025 I don't think it's firewall related because amavisd fails to start with: Insecure directory in $ENV{PATH} while running with -T switch at /usr/lib/perl5/5.38.2/Net/Domain.pm line 173. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.38.2/Amavis/Conf.pm line 1038. Compilation failed in require at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.38.2/Amavis.pm line 27. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.38.2/Amavis.pm line 27. So is that indicating there are two distinct errors? PATH and Perl? Logged into the server checked all the directories I see in the PATH all are 755. This same postfix conf (older version though) is running on another openSuSE server and for the life of me I cannot find what is different so I'm stumped at the moment as to why.

need help with transferring files from Android
by Daniel Bauer 23 Jun '24

23 Jun '24

Hi, I am traveling with my laptop with OS 15.5(KDE and should copy large files from my phone to the laptop. I have sshelper on the phone. But I forgot to copy the rsync command I use at home and didn't find out (google doesn't help). I can connect via console to the phone with ssh, but all my rsync trials failed (the parameters and/or path are wrong). So I thought I use bluetooth. The connection between phone and laptop can be established, but when I want to send a file from the phone I get the message: "laptop-name doesn't accept receiving files". Googling only brought up to install KDE-connect, I did on phone and on laptop. But it doesn't find another device to pair... (Don't know if it has to do with the kind of internet connection I use: My phone is connected and I use it as a hotspot to which I connect the laptop). So, if you can help me find a way to get files from Android phone to laptop, that would be great. I don't care how. - how to make my laptop accepting files via bluetooth? - or how to make kde-connect finding phone/laptop, - or how should the rsync command in sshelper look to copy photos from phone to laptop, - or any other idea? Thanks for your help! -- Daniel Bauer photographer Basel Málaga Twitter: @Marsfotografo (often explicit nudes) https://www.patreon.com/danielbauer https://www.daniel-bauer.com (nudes)

ssh public key authentication in Leap 15.6
by Rick Smegal 22 Jun '24

22 Jun '24

A local server I used to regularly use to logon to with public key authentication in Leap 15.5 now reports: 92.168.33.2: Permission denied (publickey,keyboard-interactive) in Leap 15.6 using the same configuration within ~/.ssh of both distros. Obviously, the IdentityFile is unchanged. Any obvious suggestions on where I look for the change in Leap 15.6?

troubleshooting nvidia
by Paul Neuwirth 21 Jun '24

21 Jun '24

Hello list, I am struggling to troubleshoot why the nvidia proprietary driver doesn't work anymore (after some kernel updates previously). The G06 driver worked fine, including cuda some time ago... reverted to nouveau then, but now I need the proprietary driver working again with 3D acceleration and so on... I followed the instructions in the SDB. GFX card: 03:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GP102 [GeForce GTX 1080 Ti] (rev a1) Subsystem: eVga.com. Corp. Device 6593 Kernel modules: nouveau when starting the display manager service, after a long wait I get a very reduced GUI, with only one of three monitors working. neither the nvidia module nor nouveau gets loaded (at least the blacklisting nouveau seems to work...). But there are no Xorg logs created in /var/log/, which where my main resource for troubleshooting in the past. there's nothing in dmesg or lsmod to see about the nvidia modules... how to continue troubleshooting? finally: # rpm -qa | grep -i nvidia | sort kernel-firmware-nvidia-20230724-150500.3.9.1.noarch kernel-firmware-nvidia-gspx-G06-545.29.02-150400.9.15.1.x86_64 kernel-firmware-nvidia-gspx-G06-550.90.07-150500.11.29.1.x86_64 libva-nvidia-driver-0.0.12-lp155.2.1.x86_64 nvidia-compute-G06-32bit-550.90.07-lp155.23.1.x86_64 nvidia-compute-G06-550.90.07-lp155.23.1.x86_64 nvidia-driver-G06-kmp-default-550.90.07_k5.14.21_150500.53-lp155.23.1.x86_64 nvidia-gl-G06-32bit-550.90.07-lp155.23.1.x86_64 nvidia-gl-G06-550.90.07-lp155.23.1.x86_64 nvidia-video-G06-32bit-550.90.07-lp155.23.1.x86_64 nvidia-video-G06-550.90.07-lp155.23.1.x86_64 openSUSE-repos-Leap-NVIDIA-20230804.41e41a9-lp155.2.6.1.x86_64 pcp-pmda-nvidia-gpu-5.2.5-150400.5.6.3.x86_64 thank you and regards, Paul Neuwirth

Yast bootloader fails to start after 15.5 upgrade
by Paul Neuwirth 20 Jun '24

20 Jun '24

Hello list, I upgraded from Leap 15.4 to 15.5 and now "yast bootloader" fails to start. I get following messages in the ncurses UI: Probing file system with UUID 406791e3-4103-4da5-8235-aa35ed5be74c failed Unexpected situation found in the system. Click below to see more (English only). Continue despite the issue? After selecting "Continue": Error YaST cannot configure the bootloader because it failed to find the root file system. "Details..." reveals just: "referenced" not found the UUID 406791e3-4103-4da5-8235-aa35ed5be74c belongs to the partition used for the root filesystem (btrfs). Anyone knows how to fix that issue? I would provide y2log if necessary, but there's much information I needed to strip.. Just wanted to change some command lines in grub. I hesitate to do that manually, because I do not want end up unable to boot... Thank you all and regards, Paul Neuwirth

Are there any experts on how to get this to work under openSUSE? Specifically I'm running Leap_15.5 at the moment. I could use to guidance. I can use sudo to start openvpn, pass it a configuration file, userid/password and get it running. But am unable to get past that to get it started at boot/login.

where are the chromium user files?
by Daniel Bauer 16 Jun '24

16 Jun '24

Hi, I want to copy my "Chromium-things" to a laptop so that I don't have to enter bookmarks, passwords etc. manually. With firefox etc., this is an easy task, just copy ~/.mozilla/firefox But I can't find the Chromium files to copy. Where are they, what is their name? I rarely use chromium, but for some special tasks I accept googles spy-hunger and use it. So I'd like to have it on my laptop as well. But in it's successful effort to never tell a user what he is looking for and to make life as complicated as possible, unfortunately also in this regard, googles answers are wrong and lead to nowhere... I hope someone can help despite of googles struggle to hide information.

enrypting partions within encrypted lvm?
by Daniel Bauer 14 Jun '24

14 Jun '24

Hi, Once again I have a problem in understanding. I am setting up a new laptop, completely encrypted. I chose an LVM volume group in which I will have partions "/", "/home/" and "swap". I have encrypted the volume group, it shows in the partinioner as encrypted under "harddisks" (PV of group). Now when I add the said partitions to this volume group, Yast again asks me, if I want to encrypt them. This confuses me. Question: do I have to encrypt those partions, too, or are they already encrypted because of being in the encrypted volume group? Thanks for clarification!

New problem since dotsix.
by Bill Swisher 14 Jun '24

14 Jun '24

I normally, under 15.5, run a script to do updates which has this in it: date | tee ~/Downloads/lastupdate sudo zypper up | tee -a ~/Downloads/lastupdate And if there's changes I get a line saying: Continue? [y/n/v/...? shows all options] (y): At which point I simply press enter and it runs the update. Under 15.6 it gets to the "Continue" line as expected. But will not accept the enter, or a "y enter". It just sits there until I give it a ctrl-c. The file lastupdate shows it doesn't do anything too. If I enter "sudo zypper up" it will work.

Password for encrypted laptop asked twice + strange waiting time
by Daniel Bauer 14 Jun '24

14 Jun '24

Hello, So I intstalled OS 15.5 on a lenovo Laptop with a normal /boot/efi and an encrypted LVM including partitions /, /home and /swap Now when I start the laptop I am asked twice for the password, where the first one takes 1 Minute (!) until the Grub-Menu appears and then asks it a second time... Something is wrong. But what? I appears the Logo of Lenovo in the middle of the screen and in the left upper corner: Welcome to GRUB! Enter passphrase for hd0, gpt2 (long number): I enter the passphrase (there is no feedback, the cursor doesn't move) After htting enter, it says "Attempting to decrypt master key" This takes a full minute. Then the usual Opensuse Grub Menu appears, I chose to start OS 15.5 and again am asked Please enter passphrase for disk NAME (cr_...part..): (This is the kind of prompt I am used to, it has feedback for characters entered (*) and immediately after hitting enter the boot process starts.) - What is that first passphrase question for? - Why does it appear? (I have never seen that and have installed don't know how many PC's and Laptops) - How can I can get rid of it? Thanks for your help!

Access to S3 storage
by Vojtěch Zeisek 11 Jun '24

11 Jun '24

Hi, what do You use to work with S3 storages (custom Ceph provider, no Amazon)? So far I experimented with s3cmd and aws-cli for download/upload and bucket manipulation; s3fs to browse content of S3 storage (FUSE mount); and rclone and duplicity for backups. Everything works, but it would be nice to have some GUI tool for buckets and data manipulation. Rclone web UI is close, but the best would be some "standard" desktop application (support in e.g. Dolphin). Did anyone find anything usable? Among GUI apps I found only FileZilla Pro, and some abandoned projects or projects without Linux version... Yours, V. -- Vojtěch Zeisek https://trapa.cz/ Komunita openSUSE GNU/Linuxu Community of the openSUSE GNU/Linux https://www.opensuse.org/

bios -> uefi boot, because of: resizable bar need csm off
by Simon Becherer 04 Jun '24

04 Jun '24

Hi, opensuse tumbleweed: up to now, i have had no inducement to change my harddrives from legacy boot to uefi boot. but now, i figured out that the full speed of the graphic will need "csm" off in bios/uefi, to switch on "resizable bar" still i do not understand what has the amount of data to be transferred to the graphic card has to do with the way bios/uefi is searching for the start sequence of the operating system. maybe i am to stupid. :-(( so now i need a little help: i have serveral tumbleweed installations, the easiest look like: Disk /dev/sda: 11721045168s Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/4096B Partition Table: gpt Disk Flags: Number Start End Size File system Name Flags 1 34s 2047s 2014s grub bios_grub 2 2048s 11721041919s 11721039872s ext4 Linux filesystem legacy_boot 11721041920s 11721045134s 3215s Free Space they are booting fine with csm on. i like to convert them to uefi boot, have read here: https://www.redhat.com/sysadmin/bios-uefi https://superuser.com/questions/1310927/what-is-the-absolute-minimum-size-a… https://www.linuxfromscratch.org/~ken/inkscape-python-deps/blfs-book-sysv/p… so i think i have a good base to do. i think i will come to the point where i will have a fat partition. then i have to copy the efi files to that partition. here is my problem 1) i do not have inside my /boot directory the efi subdirectory, so, what rpm did i have to install to get the files, so that i am able to move them later on to the fresh generated fat partition? (i like to have only the absolute necessary files on this partition, to hold this partition very small) 2) what command did i have to use after i have a fat partition and the files in. grub2-install --target=x86_64-efi /dev/sda is mentioned inside the link "https://www.redhat.com/sysadmin/bios-uefi" will this harddrive then also be booted in a legacy bios, or if i like to have both boot possibility's did i have to use another command? 3) did i miss some important infos? thanks in advance. simoN -- www.becherer.de

kde5/6: recent files/recent applications

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.

Seeking Advice: MicroOS Host with PCI Pass-through to GUI Guest
by Tony Walker 02 Jun '24

02 Jun '24

I have a development system with lots of RAM and cores that I use like a server (i.e., several VM's and containers; none are production). To separate my desktop from my VM's and containers more, I am considering running MicroOS as a headless host with my desktop running as a guest VM using PCI pass-through for the video. Some advantages are the ability to reboot my desktop without disturbing the VM's and containers, and making my desktop less critical or more disposable. Does anyone here do that? Any advice?

Mozilla's GUI (non)conformity

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?

[oS-EN] Firefox profile contamination - security or data contamination issue.
by Carlos E. R. 30 May '24

30 May '24

Hi, I separate different tasks by using independent profiles in firefox. For example with my normal profile I never login to Google, and I use a special FF profile to login to Google. That way, when I search something google can not associate with my mail. Well, something is very wrong today. Using my normal profile, not logged in to google: https://paste.opensuse.org/pastes/43477dee9ff5 This is a youtube opened days ago. You can see the "sign in" prompt at the top right. This is the normal state of things. But today, opening the same site in youtube (or any site), I get this: https://paste.opensuse.org/pastes/d164bf9defd5 Notice the icon at the top right, that's my avatar. Also, there is the notification icon, and the menu at the top left opens with my subscriptions listed (there should be no subscriptions if I am not logged in). However, the avatar or the bell icons do not respond to click. "Subscriptions" menu does respond. In fact, this moment I don't have any FF window open with the google profile. There is one open on another computer. Seems that google is collating all firefoxes open on the same IP, the house router IP. Or firefox fails to separate profiles on disk since the last update. This is scary. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from Telcontar, using openSUSE Leap 15.5)

[opensuse] Project management software question for project managers
by Ted Byers 29 May '24

29 May '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).

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.

Debugging Thunderbird Connections?
by Lew Wolfgang 24 May '24

24 May '24

Hi Folks, I'm having issues with Thunderbird on Leap 15.5 when connecting to a smtp server. TB returns a rather unhelpful error message. Is there any way to turn on a debug mode in TB? I unfortunately don't have access to the logs on the server side. There's always tcpump and wireshark, but there must be an easier way. Regards, Lew

bad chromium update
by Werner LEMBERG 24 May '24

24 May '24

Folks, what is going on with the recent Chromium update for Leap 15.5? It was a big jump: 122.0.6261.128-bp155.2.75.1 -> 124.0.6367.201-bp155.2.78.1 (from the 'Update repository of openSUSE Backports') and the new version is at the border of being completely unusable! Many tabs ether crash very quickly, or don't react, even for such innocuous pages like the German Wikipedia. Is it only me who experiences this? For me it was necessary to revert to the previous version. I wouldn't have expected that users of Leap 15.5 are treated as guinea pigs – this should be the priviledge of the Tumbleweed people :-) Werner

"Verifying shim SBAT data failed" after 15.5 update
by Bob Rogers 19 May '24

19 May '24

I have an old HP Envy (not sure how old but it has a Windows 8 sticker on the bottom) with 15.5 beta (because I've been lazy about doing a "zypper dup") on which I just did an update, the first since 26-Apr, so I got a new kernel. When I attempted to reboot, I got "Verifying shim SBAT data failed: Security Policy Violation" and the system shut down immediately. I learned that the solution is turning off secure boot, but now I can't even get into the BIOS; is the only message I see after booting, even if I press DEL at the same time as the power button, with or without CTL and ALT. Does anybody have any other suggestions? I'd even consider wiping the disk and doing a fresh installation . . . if I could get it to boot into anything else. -- Bob Rogers http://www.rgrjr.com/

Change minicom terminal type
by James Knott 17 May '24

17 May '24

For some reason, minicom likes to default to VT102 (I haven't worked with any DEC gear in 35 years). Is there anyway to change to ANSI? According to what I found on the 'net, adding "pu rtscts Yes" to the minirc.dfl file is supposed to make it default to ANSI, but that doesn't seem to work. Even real DEC terminals could be configured to run ANSI. Suggestions? tnx jk

Sorry SuSE: 9.1 is Waste of time and money!
by Terje J. Hanssen 17 May '24

17 May '24

I am sorry to conclude that my upgrade from SuSE 9.0 Pro to 9.1 Pro has been waste of time and money for me, so far. The same I have to say about the free SuSE "Installation support". The reason is that my SuSE 9.1 installation only detects 1 of my 3 SCSCI devices (as I wrote in another subject on this forum: http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-linux-e/2004-May/3254.html) Yamaha 4416S CDRW recorder detected HP DVD Writer 100i NOT detected Epson 1640SU scanner NOT detected It's rather stupid. I have installed 9.1 using the DVD disk just in the HP DVD drive, but after the installation of 9.1, the KDE/Konqueror /media/recorder cannot access it and YaST2 cannot install additional software from it. Only one "Cdrecorder" is found in My computer and that is the Yamaha 4416 drive, which the KDE/Konqueror file manager assign as /media/recorder11. I am sure 9.1 is the reason, as I hadn't this problems with 9.0. I have tried both an update and two several new installation of 9.1. Neither SJDS nor Windows on the same multiboot PC have problems to detect these devices. In my opinion SuSE should therefore debug 9.1 better and longer, and not leave the problems to the customers. I see SuSE notes on their web saying that they know SCSI scanners are not detected in 9.1. But regarding my HP DVD writer problem, the SuSE support (as usual) don't take the responsibility and argue that this problem (a combination of IDE disk and SCSI devices) isn't included in their free installation support! This sounds remarkable, and I have never had a modern PC of so simple model or configuration that it has fitted the limited rules for the free installation support. Terje J. Hanssen

Preferred way to install Skype on Tumbleweed?
by -pj 17 May '24

17 May '24

Hi, I am wondering if there is a preferred way to install Skype on openSUSE Tumbleweed with KDE Plasma V6. I can see that there is a Skype Flatpak available in Discover but it errors right towards the end of installation indication. After asking for root password 3 times during the installation process. The error message is -> Aborted due to failure (Flatpak system operation Deploy not allowed for user. Is there a procedure required before Flatpaks can be used with openSUSE Tumbleweed? Is this a KDE related bug? Suse Paste of error screen is -> https://paste.opensuse.org/pastes/e61f6369fade One can enable Snaps I guess -> https://snapcraft.io/install/skype/opensuse <- Do you recommend this or not? This is from the openSUSE Build Service and can you recommend this? https://software.opensuse.org/download/package?package=skype&project=home%3… If I use a binary package is that a better option? Maybe using Kopete or Pidgin would essentially be better. I would have to read up on them some. -Thanks

How to Disable KDE User Halt and Reboot Buttons?
by Lew Wolfgang 11 May '24

11 May '24

Hi Folks, I've searched a bit but haven't found a satisfying answer to my issue. The problem occurs when a non-root user connects to a server using xrdp. This user then has full authorization to halt/reboot the server using the KDE halt or reboot buttons, not exactly an ideal situation. So how can I disable remote xrdp-connected users from rebooting or halting the server? This would also stop users from rebooting/halting the server when directly sitting at the console, which may not exist anyway. Regards, Lew

Missing window frames on XFCE after update
by Robert Schweikert 10 May '24

10 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?

Local Repository Copies?
by Lew Wolfgang 10 May '24

10 May '24

Hi Folks, Is there a way to maintain local copies of the openSUSE repositories? Maintenance includes keeping the local repos up-to-date by downloading only the deltas between the remote and local repos. I know how to do this using the Red Hat "reposync" program, a part of the yum/dnf package, but it just doesn't feel right having to depend on Red Hat for what would appear to be core functionality. Note: I can't use rsync due to policy constraints. But web ports 80 and 443 are okay. I know, go figure... Any thoughts? Regards, Lew

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 03 May '24

03 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.

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.

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?

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?

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

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

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.

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 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. Last few lines of the dup where the error occured: %transfiletriggerin(sdbootutil-1+git20240321.04bfbac-1.1.x86_64) script output: Error: Can't determine root subvolume warning: %transfiletriggerin(sdbootutil-1+git20240321.04bfbac-1.1.x86_64) scriptlet failed, exit status 1 Running post-transaction scripts ............................................................................................................ [done] There are running programs which still use files and libraries deleted or updated by recent upgrades. They should be restarted to benefit from the latest updates.

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

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.

Audacity VS 'locale'?

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

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!

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

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

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......)

Hi, I am attempting to operate openSUSE Tumbleweed on this machine (fully updated). I and have discovered acpi errors in journalctl output. These errors are shown as follows: > Thinkcentre-M57p:/etc/udev/rules.d # journalctl -p3 -b > Mar 06 18:06:06 paul-Thinkcentre-M57p kernel: ACPI BIOS Error (bug): Failure creating named object [\_SB.PCI0._OSC.CAPB], AE_ALREADY_EXISTS (20230628/dsf> > Mar 06 18:06:06 paul-Thinkcentre-M57p kernel: ACPI Error: AE_ALREADY_EXISTS, CreateBufferField failure (20230628/dswload2-477) > Mar 06 18:06:06 paul-Thinkcentre-M57p kernel: ACPI Error: Aborting method \_SB.PCI0._OSC due to previous error (AE_ALREADY_EXISTS) (20230628/psparse-529) > Mar 06 18:06:06 paul-Thinkcentre-M57p kernel: platform INT0800:00: failed to claim resource 0: [mem 0xff800000-0xffffffff] > Mar 06 18:06:06 paul-Thinkcentre-M57p kernel: acpi INT0800:00: platform device creation failed: -16 > Mar 06 18:06:23 paul-Thinkcentre-M57p kernel: I do hope the journalctl output above is displayed correctly. 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?

[oS-en] What can cause NM to choose the worse WiFi signal available?
by Carlos E. R. 07 Mar '24

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I was trying to watch a video, old laptop connected to the sitting room TV, but VLC was having trouble, then NFS having trouble, not mounting the share, then sshfs also having trouble... (with a reboot in the middle, and an update yesterday). Then I notice that NM applet indicate an horrible signal level. This is daft, the laptop sits 2 metres away from the house router with a perfect signal, yet it connects to the other WiFi on the house level above, terrible signal. Why would it do that? The machine is still on Leap 15.4, but has been running perfect for months. I just hibernated after each video session, no trouble, NFS working reliably. I just did run an update yesterday, and NFS was not automatically up after reboot. Did not occur to me to check the WiFi.

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?

Hi there. I am doing some work with 'smartctl' in (CLI) Konsole environment. When I pass 'smartctl -t long /dev/sda' the following is displayed: smartctl 7.4 2023-08-01 r5530 [x86_64-linux-6.7.6-1-default] (SUSE RPM) Copyright (C) 2002-23, Bruce Allen, Christian Franke, www.smartmontools.org === START OF OFFLINE IMMEDIATE AND SELF-TEST SECTION === Sending command: "Execute SMART Extended self-test routine immediately in off-line mode".

Ok, it is because "smartctl" sends the test off to the drives firmware. Is the "smartctl" application running? I cannot see a process output by reviewing 'ps -aux' either. How can I see the test status? Yes, I have been reviewing 'man smartctl' as shown below.

In 'smartctl' 'man page' it has '-l TYPE' but no type displays the full robust log from what I can see in 'GSmartControl' so far in my mind. Can you tell me more about what is going on here and how to review the full log? -Thanks

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?

ProtonMail Bridge on LEAP?
by David T-G 15 Feb '24

Hi, all -- Before I go over to support@ since I doubt this is actually a LEAP problem, ... Is anyone familiar with the ProtonMail Bridge and do you have it installed on a LEAP (or, heck, any SuSE) system?

The email answer from the list also included how to subscribe to the list (to what address to send what).Where can I found this information? Why the emails and the website don't contain it?Thanks,Istvan

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] Alternative PDF viewer to Okular
by Bob Williams 08 Feb '24

08 Feb '24

My government tax department (UK HMRC) has sent me a PDF form to complete. It is designed to be completed on screen, and then printed, but okular does not offer editing controls to complete the form. I have used okular to complete other pdf forms on this computer so I think the problem is with the form. My system is Tumbleweed + KDE. Can anyone recommend an alternative PDF viewer to try? TIA Bob -- Bob Williams No HTML please. Plain text preferred. https://useplaintext.email/ http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

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.

as stop job is running of session 3 for user....
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.

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.
