Recent updates to 15.3
by Darryl Gregorash 16 Mar '22

16 Mar '22

Why am I seeing a bajillion updates appearing in the updates mailing list, yet precisely zero of these have made it into the updates repositories? I can understand why I don't need the Firefox update, it appears to be for the upstream branding, whereas I am using the "in house" one. But for a lot of other packages, many of which are security updates, no such distinction applies (eg. chrony, java-11-openjdk).

alternative to rpm package groups
by Istvan Gabor 16 Mar '22

16 Mar '22

Hello: Previously I asked what happened to rpm package groups in yast package manager. The answer was that is had been removed. What alternative can I use to find packages that belong to a certain category, for example network/ftp or graphics/viewers etc? I copy here part of my previous question to make it clear what I am talking about: In previous openSUSE/SuSE versions (eg in 13.1) there was an rpm group list option in yast package manager/view tab pulldown menu. It showed a list of rpm groups in a very detailed manner where I could show/hide groups and subgroups like directories and files in a file manager. For example: +Amusement +Games +3D Other Race Shoot Simulation +Action Arcade Breakout First Person Shootes Other Race Shoot +Board ... ... Applications +Arciving +Client etc. Thanks, Istvan

How to repair OpenSuSE?
by Marc Chamberlin 16 Mar '22

16 Mar '22

Hello, I have an openSuSE 15.2 x64 system which somehow managed to lose it's boot directory and perhaps a few other system files, I dunno. So it no longer boots up. I managed to restore it, using a live USB stick, a bit to the point where I could get it to boot to a command prompt but not to the point where I could use the network. Something about firewalld and dbus not starting was keeping me from getting any further. So I decided to try an repair the installation from a regular installation USB stick. I thought OpenSuSE used to supply a repair option but was unable to find it on either the live or the installation USB sticks. So I tried to use the upgrade option instead, but that did not repair or replace any existing files on my system, it just installed files that were needing to be upgraded from what was already installed. (just a few files were touched) And that actually made the system worse, I cannot even boot up to the command prompt for a single shell. Instead now the system goes into an endless cycle of error messages and will not boot up at all. So how does one repair OpenSuSE these days? Can I do it from a live CD? If so how? Thanks in advance, for all offers of help and advice!

Live USB stick and partitioner
by Marc Chamberlin 16 Mar '22

16 Mar '22

Hello - I keep encountering a problem that has occurred on all the 15.* version of OpenSuSE Live USB sticks, which I think may actually be a bug, but perhaps there is a workaround or a solution that I cannot find by Google. When I run a Live version of OpenSuSE I often want to use the YaST2 partitioner to mount partitions from an installed version of OpenSuSE that is on my hard drives. (I usually am trying to fix a problem that is preventing the disk installation from booting up) Trouble is, the YaST version of the partitioner (on the Live USB stick) complains that there is nothing mounted for the root directory "/" I don't grok this at all because the Live version does have something "mounted" for "/" but whatever is mounted does not show up in the YaST partitioner. Nor does fdisk - l show anything mounted for "/". I have tried mounting some other partition, including the root dir/partition for the disk installation of OpenSuSE, to satisfy this requirement but then I get into trouble because the live version thinks there are two mount points for "/" and often crashes. So my question is, how do I mount partitions from my disk drives when I am using a Live version of OpenSuSE? How do I handle the requirement that the YaST partitioner wants for mounting something as "/"? Thanks in advances for your time and help, Marc -- *"The Truth is out there" - Spooky* *_ _ . . . . . . _ _ . _ _ _ _ . . . . _ . . . . _ _ . _ _ _ . . . . _ _ . _ . . _ . _ _ _ _ . _ . _ . _ . _ . * Computers: the final frontier.

Gimp scripting - seeking help/scripter
by Daniel Bauer 09 Mar '22

09 Mar '22

Hello, it might be a bit off-topic, please excuse... I am looking for somebody who can write a small Gimp-Script for me (I'll pay for it, within reason). Ideally the script could also be called from bash. After looking in the Gimp scripting documentation and more pages I see that I'd need so much time to learn it that I rather continue to do the steps manually... I work everyday with Gimp on OpenSuse, and there are some simple basic steps I have to do with almost every image to retouch with what I believe is called "frequency-separation". There is a gmic filter that more or less does it, but it takes extremely long, I must set the parameters each time, and some I can't change, not even find out to what value they are set... The script should: 1. Open png-image 2: Duplicate layer twice (to have 3 identical layers) 3: Turn off visibility of bottom layer 4: Apply Gaussian blur on the middle layer with value 15 5: Set top layer to grain extract mode ("faser extrahieren") 6: Create new layer from visible 7: Delete the layer set to grain extract before 8: Set the new top layer to grain extract mode 9: Put top and middle layer in a new layers group, visible 10: Turn on visibility of bottom layer 11: Make blurred layer (second/bottom in layers group) active 12: Save as xcf with same file name in same folder I would like to have this script available to click within Gimp, but it would be fantastic when I could use it also from bash, so that I can let it run on all files in a folder, for example. Can anybody help - or point me to a place where I could find it? Thanks! Daniel -- -- Daniel Bauer photographer Basel Málaga https://www.patreon.com/danielbauer https://www.daniel-bauer.com

Howto make the switch to OpenSuSE on the desktop as a primary system?
by cagsm 09 Mar '22

09 Mar '22

Hello list, non-desktop user of Linux here. How to best switch over to OpenSuSE on the desktop for daily normal gui life on the desktop? So far only on windows. I have a physical windows machine, I run gui and applications on it. The machine stays running. I lock the screen desktop. I return to the machine physically and have all my stuff running or available. Being remotely, what I often do in Windows ist tunnel to the windows machine via SSH means, and then remote desktop (microsoft rdp client) or VNC to the machine as a secondary means if needed. How do I make the switch over for this primary windows system into the linux desktop world? Occasionally I ssh to remote linux machines and use x11vnc and a vnc client to grab the real display:0 kind of physical screen pixel output of the linux machine and make it visible at my local place (also mostly being windows machines currently). X11vnc is often really sluggish on some targets even though the round trip time and the bandwidth allows plenty, I have not fugured out why the huge delays on certain x11vnc sessions happen. Anyways. How would I switch over from so far working on windows (normal firefox, mails/thunderbird, office documents related stuff) to a linux opensuse main machine. Reaching the windows or linux machine network wise via ssh tunnel is okay and dealt with i guess. How do I get my pixels to my off-site physical machine the best ways? I remember x11-servers and names of some such tools on windows from days back when hummingbird exceed or similar stuff. What would be the best practices to simply be able to access the screen of a linux machine from nearly anywhere from remotely in safe and sound means? That x11vnc attempt doesnt seem right to me. I read about newer concepts such as x2go, nomachines' nx and other stuff. . I also know about such stuff as teamviewer, anydesk and various vnc types and dialects. Also I read about that one can add some rdp (microsoft kind-of rdp server to the linux machine) and use normal rdp clients to connect to. Maybe I am going down the wrong road or doing things not in a fancy way. Thanks for insight.

PostgreSQL 14.2
by Simon Connah 08 Mar '22

08 Mar '22

Hi, I've just started a project using PostgreSQL and have noticed that the latest version in Tumbleweed is 14.1, but there was a patch to 14.2 on the 10th of February. Is there a reason why PostgreSQL has not been updated to the latest version at all? Is there anything I can do to help if there is a problem? Simon.

x11vnc scrolling showing basic desktop
by Marc Chamberlin 06 Mar '22

06 Mar '22

Hello - I am running openSuSE 15.3 x64 on a number of systems and use x11vnc/vncviewer to access them remotely. A problem, that is really annoying is that vncviewer often shows only a portion of the remote desktop and uses scrollbars to move the view around. The vertical scroll bar in particular, when moved to the extreme bottom causes the view to stop showing any open windows, and just show the basic desktop itself with whatever icons are placed on the desktop. This behavior is what I find very annoying and I would like to stop it. Can some kind guru tell me how? Hours googling has brought me no joy probably because I cannot find the right set of keywords for searching with. Thanks in advance if you can help me with this?

Hi, This is probably an idiotic question but is there a searchable database of all OpenSUSE Tumbleweed packages available on the web at all? I'm used to Ubuntu, where I can go to https://packages.ubuntu.com/ and search the package list. I know I can do that using YaST, but sometimes I find it more convenient to do it using a web browser.

Strange problems with browsers and thunderbird
by Markus Egg 27 Feb '22

27 Feb '22

I installed SuSE Tumbleweed 20220202 snap since I read about some problems with SuSE Leap 15.3 . Installation failed to adress the online repositories but installed anyway. Afterwards I tried the installed firefox which constantly fails for certain webpages like www.suse.com www.nvidia.de github.com Funnily enough other sites like www.fosshub.com are working ok, there is no network problem since Windows 10 on the same machine and a laptop with Ubuntu 18.04 LTS on the same network are doing just fine. Thunderbird refuses connections to email servers which are working fine on my Ubuntu Laptop. Then I tried chromium from the repos: same problem. Opera from the repos: same problem. I also tried the Mozilla version from here: https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/97.0.1/ and the Mozilla version of thunderbird from here: https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/thunderbird/releases/91.6.1/ Still the same problem. Started firefox with a complete new ~/.mozilla : no change. What is wrong with Tumbleweed nowadays? Do I have to say goodbye to OpenSuSE after more than 20 years? :-( BR

Hi, As the subject says, I'd like to blacklist pipewire from dup updates in tumbleweed. Do not misunderstand me. I like pipewire and look forward to it becoming standard, when it's ready for prime time. Unfortunately, this is not the case at the moment and I rely on professionally audio with jackd etc. Anyway. What's the correct way to blacklist pipewire from zypper dup, and is it even possible without destroying the setup? PS. This might be more appropriate on the factory list but I start here.

Packman and TW
by Simon Connah 18 Feb '22

18 Feb '22

Hi, I've got a fairly new install of OpenSUSE Tumbleweed but I'm getting stuck when trying to run sudo zypper dup as Packman hasn't caught up with the main repositories. I've had this problem before but normally the Packman repository updates fairly quickly so that it is back in sync with the main repositories. Has there been any news on this issue? Thanks. Simon.

Tiny fonts in Zoiper phone since 1 week
by Bjoern Voigt 17 Feb '22

17 Feb '22

Hello, I have the problem, that my Zoiper VOIP phone application is shown with tiny fonts since around one week. I remember only two configuration changes before this happened: * Latest Tumbleweed snapshot update * I updated the /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ directory with the current font files from Windows 10 and started "sudo fonts-config" afterwards. I did not updated Zoiper (already latest version 5.5.9). I use Xorg with KDE Plasma and the Nvidia driver 470.103.01 from the Nvidia repository. Only this single application is affected. All other applications are still good. My guess is, that the Zoiper application detects incorrect DPI or font size settings since latest Tumbleweed update. In the past Zoiper already had bugs with fontconfig. Any ideas? Is it possible to display the fontconfig default fonts? Here is a Zoiper screenshot with the tiny fonts: https://paste.opensuse.org/79fe4254 Greetings, Björn

Latest TW 20220212 fails to boot after dup - maybe an nvidia issue
by Michael Hamilton 14 Feb '22

14 Feb '22

Just a heads up to anyone using nvidia considering dup'ing to 20220212 with kernel 5.16.8-1-default. After upgrading I cannot boot, not even to run level 3. It may be because I'm using the nvidia proprietary driver. I've not seen it fail to boot to runlevel 3 before, so that's a surprise. The host is not reachable via ssh and it's NFS-exports are not available. I'm seeing the following errors in the journal (after booting back to 5.16.5-1-default).

[oS-en] Thunderbird issue
by Carlos E. R. 14 Feb '22

14 Feb '22

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, Since a recent update I notice something different in Thunderbird that I don't like (Using version 91.5.0 on Leap 15.3). I'm reading the subject lines in the top panel (I don't know its name). It shows the from, to, subject, date... I go up and down using the wheel on the mouse. I locate an email I want to read, so in the bottom panel I have the email. I want to browse it, so I poise the mouse over the panel and move the wheel... nothing happens. I have to click on the panel first, then move the wheel, then the mail read panel goes up or down the email. This did not happen before, the window would follow the wheel as soon as I move the wheel. On other programs it works, it is just Thunderbird that has changed behaviour. I thought I would get used to the change, so I have waited two weeks, but no, it is still a nuisance. Is there some configuration to change back to the old behaviour? Is this a bug? - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.

x windows on 15.3
by joea- lists 14 Feb '22

14 Feb '22

Originally installed a test 15.3 system as a simple server, no graphics environment. It's been maybe a decade since I had to install and configure an X system from scratch. Added X11 via Yast. Accepted the required additions. systemctl start xdm.service fails. Due to "dependencies". Did find a few services it needed that were not installed by YAST. Still failed to start. Eventually I found it was failing due to "not configured". Suse docs seem to say it does "not normally need to be configured" and should just work. I've so far found no configuration utilities to assist. At least none seem to be installed. Any assistance is appreciated. joe a.

problem printing some documents
by Istvan Gabor 10 Feb '22

10 Feb '22

Hello: This occurs in openSUSE Leap 15.3 with its default cups installation. The printer is an Epson AL-M300II connected with USB cable. There are some documents I cannot print, eg invoices. Other regular pdf files print OK. When opening a problematic document with Okular, it says: "This document has embedded files. Click here to see them or go to File -> Embedded Files. This document has forms. Click on the button to interact with them, or use View -> Show Forms. This document is digitally signed." When I print the document, the printer's green led is blinking, but nothing is printed. CUPS acces_log file says: localhost - - [09/Feb/2022:18:14:05 +0100] "POST /printers/epson_usb HTTP/1.1" 200 605 Create-Job successful-ok localhost - - [09/Feb/2022:18:14:05 +0100] "POST /printers/epson_usb HTTP/1.1" 200 1205055 Send-Document successful-ok lpstat reports a successful print job: epson_usb-30 user 1205248 Wed 09 Feb 2022 06:14:20 PM CET What to check or how to fix this?

TW Yast Bootloader Options refreshes repos?
by Michael Hamilton 07 Feb '22

07 Feb '22

In recent weeks/months I've noticed that if I enter the Yast "Boot Loader Settings" "Bootloader-Options" tab, there is a long pause because yast immediately refreshes/downloads all the zypper repo data. Why does changing the boot loader options require a repo refresh? And while I'm on the subject of repos, I'm sometimes asked whether I want to accept new keys (like just five minutes ago). I always answer yes, but is there an easy way to tell what answer I should give? Or perhaps a way to get zypper to authoritatively check or re-check keys? Thanks. Michael

Samba updates crashes smbd
by Marc Chamberlin 06 Feb '22

06 Feb '22

I am running OpenSuSE 15.3, x64 I am a bit confused, I noticed on Mon Feb 1, that I received a number of updates, many of which involved samba bringing it to version 4.15.4-git.324.8332acf1a63150300.3.25.3-SUSE-oS15.0-x86_64. Today (Feb 5) I noticed that autofs on other systems was failing and I traced the problem back to samba which was failing to export shares because smbd had crashed. The smb.log file showed this error - [2022/02/05 18:45:01.852699, 0] ../../source3/smbd/server.c:1734(main) smbd version 4.15.4-git.324.8332acf1a63150300.3.25.3-SUSE-oS15.0-x86_64 started. Copyright Andrew Tridgell and the Samba Team 1992-2021 [2022/02/05 18:45:01.867593, 0] ../../lib/util/become_daemon.c:120(exit_daemon) exit_daemon: daemon failed to start: Samba failed to init printing subsystem, error code 13 Googling this error message lead me to this bug report - https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1191532 which seems to be all about fixing this error. The bug is marked resolved/fixed and the last entries (on Mon Feb 1) are about releasing the fix. So I assume that the release of this fix corresponds to the updates I got on that same day. Yet this is when this particular bug started showing up on my systems! I have dropped back to version 4.13.13-git.539.fdbc44a85983.20.2-SUSE-oS15.0-x86_64of samba and all is well again, both autofs and my printers are working again. So what gives? Did this update fix, or not fix this bug? I admit I do not grok about 95% of the bug report (didn't take the time to do so) but it seems pretty coincidental that the bug was was marked as resolved and then released on the very day I got updates that broke my smbd daemons. Please don't be harsh on me, I am simply trying to understand what is going on and would appreciate any suggestions/advise on what to do about updating Samba.

So suspicions were a kernel update just before this happened, or broken hardware at the computer USB port because I had accidentally powered off the UPS while the computer was active. But then, being less dramatic, just the UPS chipset hanging. So I halted the computer, powered off the UPS at is buttton, then powered off the mains before the UPS. And on the next power up, the problem was gone :-) So the problem was that, chipset hung up at the UPS. - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.

Hi, I'm trying to install VMWare Workstation Pro 16.2.1 on a new install of Tumbleweed with all updates installed and when I run the installer it asks me this question: System service scripts directory (commonly /etc/init.d).: But I'm not sure what to put in there. Does anyone know by any chance? Thank you. Simon.

[oS-en] Reiserfs ongoing problem
by Carlos E. R. 02 Feb '22

02 Feb '22

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I have a problem with my one remaining reiserfs partition on rotating rust. The problem I initially detected was that telling the machine to hibernate sometimes appeared to stall, and I had to force a power off (via physical power switch) to recover. In fact, I found out later, the kernel was simply syncing one partition, and this operation would take half an hour, which it is absurd. Later I found out that it was only one partition affected, and this partition was (is) reiserfs. Then I guessed that the slow operation was syncing the metadata (the time stamps) of the news (nntp) spool. Traditionally a news server touches (and use) the access timestamp each time a post is read, affecting one file per read. With the default mount options used nowdays this modification stays in RAM for long, many hours. So, the cronjob that scans the news spool now also calls sync on that filesystem, and when hibernating I call sync in advance. This improved things, but not completely. Thus I finally resorted to moving the news spool only to another reiserfs partition created on an SSD disk, which usually syncs in seconds, instead of half an hour. So I thought, problem solved. But later on I noticed that the sync operation prior to hibernating on the old reiserfs partition still takes long, but only on some days - even if nothing writes there now. This is astonishing. Look, last Monday: Telcontar:~ # hibernate 2021-12-13 04:26:18+01:00 Checking news to send 2021-12-13 04:26:22+01:00 Syncing rm: cannot remove '/var/lib/news/bin/cronscriptparafetchnews.enabled': No such file or directory 2021-12-13 06:06:09+01:00 synced.

bootable image(s) don't boot 15.3
by George H. Griffin 31 Jan '22

31 Jan '22

Hello All: I have been trying to upgrade from Leap 15.2 to 15.3 but have not been able to get the 15.3 ISO(s) to boot on a variety of machines: a Dell Inspiron 15 5000 series, an Asus M4A89 GTD pro MB with an AMD Phenom(tm) II X6 1100T Processor and 16 GB RAM, and an old Toshiba laptop. All of these machines are happily running Leap 15.2, the desktop with the Asus MB and the Toshiba since 15.2 came on line and many versions preceding it. The 15.3 image was downloaded today: openSUSE-Leap-15.3-2-DVD-aarch64-Build24.5-Media.iso I have verified the checksum of the downloaded ISO which I've burned to 3 different USB sticks, 2 of them brand new, with Image Writer, and a DVD burned with with K3B. On the Dell I get the following message: "Selected boot device failed. Press any key to reboot the system." On the other two machines all I get is a flashing bar in the upper left hand corner of the display. Since I started this project I've tested all three machines with old Leap 15.1 & 15.2 USB images and they've all booted without a problem. I've not tried using the network image yet because in my situation the ISO will be easier if I can get it to work, and it should work and I'd like to find out why it doesn't, at least for me. Any help, or suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, George -- George H. Griffin Powered by opensuse Leap 15.2 "... now you're really in the total animal soup of time—" Allen Ginsberg

LEAP 15.2 selecting only non-reboot updates
by David T-G 29 Jan '22

29 Jan '22

Hi, all -- I would love to keep my system more up to date, but I can't always plan for a reboot in the middle of what I'm doing. Is there a way (KDE updates menu, zypper, YaST, ...) to select all updates that won't require a reboot? TIA & Happy New Year :-D -- David T-G See http://justpickone.org/davidtg/email/ See http://justpickone.org/davidtg/tofu.txt

[New laptop] Recommendations for new (ultrabook) laptop
by Mark Stopka 29 Jan '22

29 Jan '22

Hi, I am seeking a new laptop which I would like to have the best possible experience with openSUSE, from hardware perspective I have the follwing requirements: - Screen: 13 - 14 inch - RAM: 32 or more memory - 500 GB to 1 TB - quality build (no bending plastic) - ideally WiFi 6 suport, or at least hardware with said ability so that the drivers can support it later - 8 hours batter lifetime during modersate load (YouTube,... no code compiling that I can do remotely or when plugged-in) - Bluetooth - USB-C - powerfull in-build GPU is nice to have but I am ok with powerfull embedded one, as I have eGPU over Thunderbold via USB-C - built in RJ54 1GbE would be nice, but I have a USB-C dongle that can take care of that Please let me know if I missed something I should add to my requirements list. Any recommendations what to look for? Minor bugs don't matter, I can either fix them myself, or pay someone to do it for me. -- Best regards / S pozdravem, BSc.

Leap 15.3 kernel 5.3.18-150300.59.43-default boot hang on Dell 2950
by Moby 28 Jan '22

28 Jan '22

Hi all. Since updating to Kernel 5.3.18-150300.59.43-default, my Dell 2950 server refuses to boot. It starts to boot, and then just freezes after a slight flicker of the screen (the freeze occurs with ACPI related messages on the screen, but those messages get displayed with previous kernel versions as well and those boot fine). There is nothing that is recorded in the boot logs etc. Reverting back to the previous kernel (5.3.18-59.40-default) resolves the problem. Is anyone else seeing similar issues? Regards, --Moby

Leap 15.3 install errors
by joea- lists 27 Jan '22

27 Jan '22

Installing leap 15.3 from ISO image downloaded today and burned to DVD. Downloaded from opensuse default site/ Several errors during actual install, not preparation. The first few were related to curl, suggesting the download site for repository was not reachable. These I skipped after several retries. The more concerning ones were of this nature: "Subprocess failed. Error:RPM failed:error:%prein(login_defs-4.81-2.43.noarch) scriptlet failed,exit status 127 error: login_defs-4.81-2.43.noarch:install failed" This is the one I am staring at now, there were several others all RPM related, soe mentioning other packages such as perl. Ignoring gives a warning about ignoring packages and later verifying system. The install would continue until the next one. After perhaps a dozen of these all different packages some of which seemed critical to a working system, I gave it up. This is not confidence inspiring. Does this suggest bad download image or some other issue? joe a.

openSUSE on root ZFS
by Nikita Druba 25 Jan '22

25 Jan '22

Hi to all! Some time ago I was a task to setup openSUSE on zfs, like a root filesystem. Instruction in openzfs-docs was usable, but not in all configuration and require a lot of time for every installation attempt. As result, I wrote script for an automatic installation with many changeable variables of installation. If someone have the same task, you can use this instrument: https://github.com/ndruba/LroZ I will be grateful for a user feedback or issue reports. P.S. This message not for discussion about advisability of using zfs on openSUSE as root filesystem. I hope, that peoples, that do it, understand what they do. Thanx.

plymouth-start.service KillMode=none. This is unsafe
by Admin Beckspaced 25 Jan '22

25 Jan '22

Dear opensuse list, since upgrading to opensuse leap 15.3 I do receive the following lines in the log: Jan 18 08:19:26 cx41 systemd[1]: /usr/lib/systemd/system/plymouth-start.service:15: Unit configured to use KillMode=none. This is unsafe, as it disables systemd's process lifecycle management for the service. Please update your service to use a safer KillMode=, such as 'mixed' or 'control-group'. Support for KillMode=none is deprecated and will eventually be removed. Is this something I need to worry about? What's the best way to fix this? Mixed? Control-Group? Thanks & greetings Becki

VirtualBox update kills USB
by James Knott 24 Jan '22

24 Jan '22

There was an update of VirtualBox to 6.1.32, which appears to break USB. It produces the error: Failed to start the virtual machine Windows 10. Failed to construct device 'usb-xhci' instance #0 (VERR_PDM_DEVHLP_VERSION_MISMATCH). Result Code: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005) Component: ConsoleWrap Interface: IConsole {872da645-4a9b-1727-bee2-5585105b9eed} Turning off USB allows Windows 10 to run. This also happens on my ThinkPad with USB 2, but with a slightly different error message reflecting the difference in USB.

Entering Unicode hexcodes using Ctrl-Shift-u
by Darryl Gregorash 24 Jan '22

24 Jan '22

As reported by several list members, it appears that this no longer works in TW, and I can confirm that it also does not work out-of-box with Leap 15.3. A bit of digging around the web came up with a solution: install the package ibus and reboot. Voilà, it works again, except in a console (including eg. Konsole). By default, this will put a panel in the system tray that allows one to configure the beast to one's preferences. There are also a lot of supplementary packages that I haven't examined yet. I have no idea what any of them do, or why/when they might be needed. At least with just this one package, the basic functioning can be restored. Next silly question, why is ibus not included as part of the default configuration at install time?

new XPS13 9310 resume from hibernate is failing

Hi *, yesterday I installed a new XPS13 9310 2-in-1 by preparing the necessary partitions and reovering a backup from an XPS 13 9370. Everything works ok besides resuming from hibernate. For the original XPS13 9370 this still works without any problems. When running "systemctl hibernate" on the 9310 I get systemd-sleep[5537]: INFO: running /usr/lib/systemd/system-sleep/grub2.sleep for hibernate systemd-sleep[5537]: INFO: Running prepare-grub .. systemd-sleep[5537]: Skipping openSUSE Tumbleweed, with Linux 5.16.1-1- default (recovery mode), because it has the noresume option systemd-sleep[5537]: Skipping openSUSE Tumbleweed, with Linux 5.16.0-1- default (recovery mode), because it has the noresume option systemd-sleep[5537]: Skipping openSUSE Tumbleweed, with Linux 5.15.12-1- default (recovery mode), because it has the noresume option systemd-sleep[5537]: Skipping openSUSE Tumbleweed, with Linux 5.15.8-1- default (recovery mode), because it has the noresume option systemd-sleep[5537]: Skipping openSUSE Tumbleweed, with Linux 5.15.7-1- default (recovery mode), because it has the noresume option systemd-sleep[5537]: running kernel is grub menu entry openSUSE Tumbleweed (vmlinuz-5.16.1-1-default) systemd-sleep[5537]: preparing boot-loader: selecting entry openSUSE Tumbleweed, kernel /boot/5.16.1-1-default systemd-sleep[5537]: running /usr/sbin/grub2-once "openSUSE Tumbleweed" systemd-sleep[5537]: time needed for sync: 0.0 seconds, time needed for grub: 0.1 seconds. systemd-sleep[5537]: INFO: Done. systemd-sleep[5534]: Entering sleep state 'hibernate'... I get the same output from "systemctl hibernate" on the 9370. Both have a swap partition with 32 GB in size and 16 GB of RAM. Kernel command line contains resume=UUID=<uuid_of_swap_partition> in both cases. The only difference I saw is this message, that shows up on the 9310 before systemd-sleep is running: kernel: PM: Image not found (code -16) Any idea what might be wrong here? Thx and bye. Michael.

Creating a BTRFS root filesystem

I'm trying to create a btrfs root filesystem following Richard Browns blog found here: https://rootco.de/2018-01-19-opensuse-btrfs-subvolumes/[1] but it seems that he missed a step or I can't follow directions. If I follow his recipe to the letter then no 1st snapshot is ever made and no default subvolume can be set. So, I omitted line 4 of step 4: and created a snapshot between his steps 6: & 7: btrfs subvol snapshot /mnt /mnt/(a)/.snapshots/1/snapshot After step 7: I am able to set the default subvolume, but I have the @ subvolume showing when I list the directory in step 8: Anyone have some pointers?

How to connect via WiFi
by Wolfgang Mueller 22 Jan '22

22 Jan '22

My new computer is an HP 15s-eq2147 FHD RYZ5-5 16GB 512 SSD DOS It has no cable connection to the internet, but only access via WiFi. Installing Leap 15.3 was no problem, but so far I did not manage to establish a WiFi connection. Using Yast, I set up a wicked service with fixed address, getting this list: Device Name: wlan0 Configured with address 192.168.2.16/24 (acer.ariannuccia.zz) Starting automatically on cable connection I find it somewhat absurd that a cable connection is required even for WiFi. Since I have no cable connection, I am looking for a work around. Any idea? The "Authentication Mode" offers these 5 options: No Encryption WEP - Open WEP - Shared Key WPA-EAP ("enterprise") WPA-PSK ("home") On my router (192.168.2.1) there are these "Encryption type": Unencrypted (not recommended) WPA2 (very secure) WPA / WPA2 (secure) WPA (secure) For avoiding problems with the correspondence of these methods, I have selected "No Encryption" on my computer and "Unencrypted (not recommended)" on my router. But the connection does not work. Any attempt to ping the router from the new computer is rejected with the reply: connect: Network is unreachable Any help would be welcome. Thank you in advance and best regards, Wolfgang

Since Red Hat killed off CentOS Linux and replaced it with CentOS Stream, there's been renewed activity in the world of drop-in RHEL replacements. Now a new entrant has joined AlmaLinux and Rocky Linux, as SUSE enters the fray with its own rebuild of Red Hat's freely-available source code. As it has only appeared on SUSE's website overnight, we don't have a demo version at time of writing, so here is what we know so far. At launch, Liberty Linux should be equivalent to the current Red Hat release – RHEL 8.5 – and compatible with packages from Red Hat's own EPEL repos. SUSE is building the distro using its own Open Build Service tooling. All of the userland of the new distro will be built from Red Hat's official Source RPMs (SRPMs), with the exception of the kernel. That comes from SUSE's own SLE enterprise distribution, currently on version 15 SP3, but compiled using a Red Hat-compatible configuration. Since these days openSUSE's stable distro, Leap, is binary compatible with SLE, that suggests that Liberty Linux will ship with kernel 5.3.18. That's a lot newer than RHEL 8.5's kernel 4.18, so RHEL device drivers and kernel modules almost certainly won't work – but SLE ones should. You can also only expect support for Red Hat's choice of filesystems, meaning XFS rather than SUSE's preferred Btrfs, which Red Hat doesn't support. The new distro is also x86-64 only, with no support for POWER or Arm boxes. ... further reading at the link -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from oS Leap 15.3 x86_64 (Erebor-4))

[oS-en] disk imaging code question
by Carlos E. R. 19 Jan '22

19 Jan '22

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I use this bash code (script) to image partitions - I arrived there with help here: function hacer() { echo echo "Doing partition $1 ($2) on $3" echo "copying, compressing, and calculating md5..." mkfifo mdpipe dd if=/dev/$1 status=progress bs=16M | tee mdpipe | pigz > $3.gz & # Try using "--fast" next time md5sum -b mdpipe | tee -a md5checksum_expanded wait rm mdpipe echo "$3" >> md5checksum_expanded echo "Verifying..." pigz --test $3.gz echo echo "·········" } Used this way: time hacer sda1 "5S" "sda1_WINBOOT" time hacer sda2 "250M" "sda2_WINDOWS" (the current directory is on the destination disk, external rotating rust via USB2) This works fine. Now, I noticed something. On gkrellmn I observe, as the script runs, that the reads on the source disk (ssd, in this case) and the writes to the destination disk alternate, are not simultaneous. And it took 5 hours to image perhaps 300gigs; of course, the destination is on USB2, and the CPU is old, but that alternation doesn't help. Could that be improved somehow? Short of writing my own binary code to implement it all... Never coded with parallelization, so that would not be trivial. - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.

forgot password for only user on new opensuse 15.3 - any way to use the installation?
by Geza Giedke 18 Jan '22

18 Jan '22

Dear all, I just received a brand new notebook, freshly installed with Opensuse 15.3 (bought at slimbook.es). When renaming the standard user and resetting its password I must have made a typo, because I can no longer log in (it's the only existing user). Now I see no other way but to reinstall the full system, which seems a pity. So before doing that I wanted to ask if there is a way to avoid that, e.g., by overwriting /home and /etc/passwd from a live USB to make the installed system accessible to a new user - or is a full reinstall the only way to make the system usable? Sorry for the embarrassingly stupid problem and thank you for your help Geza

OpenSuse 15.2 ports closed, no firewall enabled

On OpenSuse 15.2, the assigned IP address has only SSH port open. The localhost has several more open, which allows me to run mail server, by referencing localhost. However, this causes other machines on local network to be denied access to the email server. Firewall is not enabled, iptables shows no rules. I am puzzled.

Audacity error: FFmpeg library not found (Leap 15.3)
by gumb 09 Jan '22

09 Jan '22

I only recently upgraded from 15.2 to 15.3. On first opening Audacity (from the Main repository) I get a dialog saying FFmpeg library not found, and to go to Preferences -> Libraries to sort it out. When I go there I see it's looking for libavformat.so.58 which I already have installed. According to YaST I have libavformat58_76 from Packman, but I can't direct Audacity to anywhere that it will see it. The adjoining Download button is useless, it just tells me I don't have the help manual installed, which is nonsensical at best. There was no such problem under Leap 15.2. gumb

size of firefox sqlite database files
by Istvan Gabor 09 Jan '22

09 Jan '22

Hello: Currently I use firefox 91.4.1esr in openSUSE 15.3. I noticed that in the profile directory the size of some sqlite database files does not change after deleting history. Namely, places.sqlite, favicons.sqlite, cookies.sqlite files' size remains the same after deleting history. Why don't the file sizes decrease after deleting their content by deleting history? I have many profiles and want to decrease the profiles' size. I thought bu deleting history I can do it but not. Can someone explain this? Thanks, Istvan

KDE Connect - Too many notifications.
by James Knott 09 Jan '22

09 Jan '22

A couple of months ago, I got a new Google Pixel 6 phone. Since then, I've been getting an excessive amount of email notifications from KDE Connect on my computer. Sometimes I have a stack of them reaching almost the top of my screen. I have checked both the phone and computer KDE Connect settings and I can't see anything that would cause this. Is there any way to stop all these notifications, short of uninstalling KDE Connect? KDE on Leap 15.3 Previously used a Pixel 2. tnx jk

how could this happen? accidental mass file deletion
by Daniel Bauer 08 Jan '22

08 Jan '22

Hi, I am with OS 15.2/KDE and a very strange thing happened to me: all files (not the sub-folders, but the files in them) of my desktop folder were deleted without that I know why... what I did (in case it gives a hint) : Started SimpleScreenRecorder to record the complete screen in an mp4 in the desktop folder (this file vanished also). I paused/continued the screen recorder several times. Started Win10 in Virtual-Box, did some photo editing, shut down Win10, and when I saw my desktop again there were no icons, only some folders. I got aware of heavy disk use and shut down the computer. After booting again I saw that all files (several hundreds) in this folder and its subfolders were gone, but not the folders themselves. It only affected the Desktop folder and its subfolders, no others as much as I can see. To do this deliberately I would have to enter an rm with options, but I didn't... I know that during this session my mouse began to be defective, a right click produced a double-click, but that shouldn't be able to produce such a command, isn't it? Is there a way I can find out what happened exactly? Search (for what?) in what log? It seems mysterious to me and disquiets me although since then everything seems to work normally. (Luckily I am a back-up-freak, so no damage, but still...) (the desktop folder isn't shared with windows, the shared folder is on another partition and wasn't affected) Any thoughts?

backup of root

Hello, I use for some years a rsync line in cron to make a backup from a server to an other server. btrfs on source, ext4 on target. Right now I have to be run from root on the receiving part # rsync -azv -e ssh -x --exclude=/tmp --exclude=*cache* --exclude=*.Trash* --exclude=/sys --exclude=/proc --exclude=/dev --delete root@<source domain>:/* <local folder> I checked that -x do *not* exclude /proc.

I don't remember also is proc, sys, dev a recreated at boot, no need to make them by hand at restore time? thanks jdd -- http://dodin.org http://valeriedodin.com

Troubles installing OpenSuSE 15.3 on a HP Spectre laptop
by Marc Chamberlin 06 Jan '22

06 Jan '22

Hello - I have an HP Spectre laptop that came with Windows 10 installed on it. It has a 1Tb SSD drive with almost 800Gb of unallocated space. I want to install OpenSuSE 15.3 x64 on this laptop as part of a dual boot system. I have done this many times in the past on other desktops and laptops but this time I am running into a couple of unexpected problems that is preventing the installation. I created an UEFI USB installation disk from the ISO file that I downloaded from the OpenSuSE downloads website. In the BIOS I turned off "Secure Boot" and set the boot order to allow booting first from USB devices. I did not have to choose whether to use "Legacy Booting" as there is no option in the BIOS for it. The installation of OpenSuSE starts off OK and I had no apparent problem with setting up the network WiFi connection. The installation process does not allow me to manually test and/or check to see if the network really got set up OK. The first problem occurs when the installation process gets to where it is attempting to read the list of Online Repositories. Here I get a warning message "Unable to download list of repositories or no repositories defined." No reason why is given and all I can do about it is to click the OK button and move on. Maybe the WiFi network connection is not working after all? I dunno how to check it at this point in the installation process. Sigh... Next I select for a System Role to use "Desktop with KDE Plasma" and when I click on Next I get a far more serious error message - "An error was found in one of the devices in the system. The information displayed may not be accurate and the installation may fail if you continue." The "Details..." button shows - "cannot delete MdContainer" and again I can only choose "OK" to dismiss this rather useless error message. I got no idea what an MdContainer" is! Google searches suggests it has to do with docker containers but that doesn't help me either as I don't grok much about docker and have never use it. The best discussion about this error, that I found, was at https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/523095/opensuse-leap-15-1-install-… But the solution appears to be to delete and remove Windows 10 and the partitions it resides in. NOT what I want to do, I want a dual boot system with both OS's. Another suggestion was to contact HP Support which I have done but they seem to be taking a very long time to respond, so I am turning to this forum to see if anyone here can provide and/or guide me to a solution. FYI If I continue on, with the installation process, I reach a dead-end at the point where one is suppose to set up the disk partitions for OpenSuSE. The partitioner does not allow me to access or change anything within the SSD drive. Any attempt to do so, I get told the device is busy. Thanks in advance for any suggestions or solutions offered, much appreciated as always...

When/How to update tumbleweed
by Payam Firouztala 05 Jan '22

05 Jan '22

For the longest time I was depending on https://review.tumbleweed.boombatower.com to figure out when it was safe to update tumbleweed and which release to update to. That site has not been updated due to an issue with the mailing list where the site got its information. So for people who use tumbleweed, how do you know when is a good time to update? What command do you use? I know there is snap and that I can roll back if something breaks, but obviously would rather not go through that. Thanks and Happy New Year!

reiserfs

I know. Reiserfs is deprecated and is no longer supported, but some things that I have seen on the network lead me to believe that it may be possible to download the necessary files and (at least temporarily) enable it, at least long enough to copy the files off. This would be a big help in recovering some old filesystems. Does anyone have documentation on exactly how to do this?

file manager used to save in chrome
by George from the tribe 05 Jan '22

05 Jan '22

In the latest update in 15.2, something changed in the way I save files downloaded from the internet when in Chrome, or a Chrome based browser like Brave. It used to use Dolphin file manager, and that is much more convenient, because it requires less clicks to change the file name. Now it switched to the file manager that Gnome uses - I guess its Nautilus. I don't use Gnome very much, but I have it installed and sometimes go into it if there is something I need it for, so I have to keep the gnome base packages on my system. So how do you set Chrome so that it opens up the Dolphin file manager when you want to save a file from the internet? -- George Box: 15.2 | Plasma 5 | AMD Phenom IIX4 | 64 | 32GB Laptop #1: 15.2 | Plasma 5 | AMD FX 7TH GEN | 64 | 32GB Laptop #2: TW | Plasma 5 | Core i7 | 64 | 16GB

Installing 15.3
by Dave Howorth 31 Dec '21

31 Dec '21

I'd like to [finally] install 15.3. I want to install it separate to my existing system so I can revert to my existing system in the event of problems. I'm having trouble finding a clear set of instructions. I've found https://doc.opensuse.org/documentation/leap/startup/html/book-startup/art-o… and https://doc.opensuse.org/documentation/leap/startup/html/book-startup/cha-i… but they both start with the assumption that I've already got an installation image. I don't! So searching elsewhere I've found https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Download_help and that suggests (among many other suggestions just to confuse me!) https://download.opensuse.org/distribution/leap/15.3/iso/ but that seems to have an enormous number of possibilities. I can figure out some of it: DVD vs NET and x86_64 vs other architectures and .iso vs .iso.sha256 but I'm lost about other aspects. What's Media vs Current all about? And what's 15.3 vs 15.3-2? And what's Build24.5? Is there a single place that actually documents how to install 15.3 from start to end?

[oS-en] I managed to bork booting on a laptop, twice.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 On my old laptop (classic BIOS, not UEFI) I have a separate /boot partition, created 2009, say. It has become too small, 190 MB.

I then used an external rescue disk to mount sda7, chroot, run mkinitrd, run "grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg", run YaST boot loader module again... After a few attempts, the rescue disk no longer boots on its own (big text black display with cursor blinking on top left corner, instead of grub menu), and the internal disk boots in text mode grub, but it boots (and has an entry for the external hard disk, which also works that way). So, I have now two boot systems to repair (same computer, internal disk and external via USB2). [correction: external disk is booting now] Both are running Leap 15.2: I had to eliminate the /boot too small problem before attempting to upgrade to 15.3. Today, I had planned.

Help! chroot seems to have changed, I can't recover my system
by Dave Plater 24 Dec '21

24 Dec '21

Hi, I had to change over to a new hard drive,500G to 1T, I changed my partitioning scheme slightly to include a separate home and opt partition and merged two data partitions into one. I also changed to a gpt partition table to remove the need for an extended partition I got this Leap:15.3 system up and running fine except for a root ext4 partition error that popped up when I had a power outage. This made me remember how tolerant the xfs file system was to crashes so i decided to copy the root partition contents to a backup and create an xfs root partition. Wrong move, I'd forgotten that grub2 and xfs don't like each other and the system was unbootable. Ok backup root again and create an ext3 boot partition before the root partition and perform the mount --bind on sys proc and dev then chroot into root partition then use yast2 bootloader on it. Fine except "chroot /mnt" no longer appears to work, it says: "chroot: failed to run command ‘/bin/bash’: Permission denied" I've googled this but I can't understand any of the solutions and tutorials which I don't really have time for, I need to get back to work. Thanks Dave Plater

A Professor needing information about repositories.
by Hugo Napoli 24 Dec '21

24 Dec '21

Have a good day, dear community. I am an Uruguayan teacher and technician who has been using several distros for years ( and counting :D ) and wants to learn some particular things about Linux repositories. Just for the pleasure of saying it, my system of daily use has been (and is, and will be) openSUSE for 14 years :D :D :D I have been talking with one of the repo maintainers and with some users of the Mageia community with the intention of being able to finish writing a manual of disclosure level on repositories that tries to be an important reference for students, and that in turn will remain for the community. What I am interested to know fits better in the following questions, so, I have taken the liberty of write this questions, hoping that some mates could answer little by little the ones that they want. Here I go, and thanks beforehand! I) Are http repos more insecure than the https ones? II) Where is there a list of "https" repos of every http repo in the case of openSUSE? III) In which cases is NOT advisable to add all (and only) https repos for openSUSE? IV) Can a replica or clone of an official repository server represent a threat? V) What modifications does opensuse introduce in its Linux kernel to adapt it to the system? VI) In which cases is it advisable to add the kernel.org repo to use the intact Linux kernel? I apologize if this is not the list for this type of topic. In that case, I can delete the thread and post it in another list. Big hug!

Is there anyone here doing KDE development? I have installed everything in the C++ development pattern and the KDE Frameworks pattern but KDevelop cannot find the header imports for the simplest "Hello World" program. I'm interested in taking a serious look at developing for Plasma. Using Tumbleweed. Where do I go to get started? Thanks for some direction. Feel free to use private email to take it off the list.

[oS-en] Can't boot freshly installed 15.3 system.
by Carlos E. R. 23 Dec '21

23 Dec '21

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I can't boot freshly installed 15.3 system (with current updates as of today). I get (hand copied): error: bad shim signature. error: you need to load the kernel first. Press any key to continue. Details: It is a new external hard disk, via USB3 (tried also USB2) on a laptop that has internally Leap 15.2 and Windows, both booting normally. On this external hard disk I installed 15.3 (UEFI mode). The UEFI boot menu does not display this disk at all. The efibootmgr man page doesn't say how to add a new entry: CREATING A NEW BOOT OPTION An OS installer would call efibootmgr -c. This assumes that /boot/efi is your EFI System Partition, and is mounted at /dev/sda1. This creates a new boot option, called "Linux", and puts it at the top of the boot order list. Options may be passed to modify the default behavior. The default OS Loader is elilo.efi. 3. What are those options to modify the behaviour??? It is an example section with no examples!!!

Amarok playlists
by James Knott 22 Dec '21

22 Dec '21

I recently added a 2nd playlist to Amarok for Christmas music. However, I've noticed that it does not limit to items in the selected play list. Is there anyway around this? It seems to me that when one and only one playlist is selected, it shouldn't play from another. KDE on 15.3. tnx jk

postfix: default or nil
by jdd＠dodin.org 16 Dec '21

16 Dec '21

Hello, In an other thread I asked to see what postfix options are made empty/nil by adding in the file the option name followed by only " = " In fact there are more than I expected. Is it better to let the file as is, or to comment out these lines to get back postfix default? for example I notice "relayhost = " several options are listed in main.cf, I'm unsure to what is done if the option is not listed in the file practically, I didn't find a way (without breaking all the install) to list *default* options (that is what is done if the option is written nowhere :-() comm -23 <(postconf -n) <(postconf -d) (settings that *differ* from built-in defaults) gives relayhost = but, if I remove (rename) main.cf and stop postfix, # postconf -n | grep relayh postconf: fatal: open /etc/postfix/main.cf: No such file or directory that's ok, but: postconf man page: -d Print main.cf default parameter settings instead of actual settings # postconf -d | grep relayh address_verify_relayhost = $relayhost(...) relayhost = (...) so "relayhost =" should be the default, is the comm line wrong?? thanks jdd (confused) -- http://dodin.org http://valeriedodin.com

OT yet I need help
by Togan Muftuoglu 16 Dec '21

16 Dec '21

Hi, Although it is OT as it has nothing to do with openSUSE, I need help in finding an email address for quadmetrics.com regarding so called OPT-OUT of the never ending daily network scans as I am sure like me no one has opted in unvoluntarily. So far I am empty handed their registar gandi.net pointed out AWS but the IP belong to CARINET and most probably other names. So rather then dealing with each one them I would rather find an email adress. Yes I have tried abuse@ but that is bouncing back. Thanks

postfix config
by jdd＠dodin.org 16 Dec '21

16 Dec '21

Hello, I noticed that in postfix config, a blank option mean that the default is no more used. that is, for example, alias_maps = *remove* the default (lmdb:/etc/aliases) is there a way (with postconf, for example) to list only such empty line? lines with no option set in main.conf. I don't find this :-( By the way it seems that "postconf -n" do not really display non default values, but values that are written down in the config file, even if they are identical to default values thanks jdd -- http://dodin.org http://valeriedodin.com

Black X screen after last TW upgrade (nvidia)
by Peter Suetterlin 09 Dec '21

09 Dec '21

Hi, I just did an upgrade of my Laptop (Lenovo T460p) to latest TW 20211203. I'm running it with the G05 driver from the nvidia repo, which worked before. I'd been offline here for a while (almost a month), so it was a large update, and I can't put the finger on a specific release. Symptom is, the screen stays black on VT7. X is running, sddm is running, just no display. Other VTs do work. I checked the logfile, but there's nothing obviously wrong. I.e., no EE or related WW entries... So far I had tried deleting the cache files from sddm (had been an issue at some point, I remembered), and (based on some trouble posts from September) tried kernel parameter "nomodeset nvidia-drm.modeset=1". Neither did help :( Any hints where to look? Pit

smartctl
by mcgarrett 07 Dec '21

07 Dec '21

I have been beating my head against smartctl for over two hours now. I cannot seem to get the command "long" accepted, as the various tutorials explain. When I try to insert it, I get an error, like this: linux1:~ # smartctl long /dev/nvme0n1 smartctl 7.0 2019-05-21 r4917 [x86_64-linux-5.3.18-57-default] (SUSE RPM) Copyright (C) 2002-18, Bruce Allen, Christian Franke, www.smartmontools.org ERROR: smartctl takes ONE device name as the final command-line argument. You have provided 2 device names: long /dev/nvme0n1 (It doesn't like "short" either.) And my typing is getting worse! It doesn't help that my drive is called /dev/nvme0n1. As I mentioned earlier, the lightning strike has damaged something in this, my main computer, and I'm trying to find out what. For those who missed the earlier post, the only thing I can connect to here is the internet. I cannot see the printers or the laptop machine, and nmap basically doesn't work. I started this quest at 11:30 PM and it's now 3:30 AM. I'm going to bed! --doug

gtk2 application start delays 25 seconds
by Istvan Gabor 06 Dec '21

06 Dec '21

Hello: This occurs in openSUSE Leap 15.3 (64 bit). Gtk2 applications start with a 25 seconds delay. That is, it takes exactly 25 seconds the application window to appear. This behavior has been reported previously in other distros, eg: In 20.04.1 all gtk2 apps starts 25 seconds https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1891245 I installed appmenu-gtk2-module and libcanberra-gtk-module but it did not solve the problem. How can I fix this in Leap 15.3? Thanks, Istvan

Any advice for leap on mobile desktop zen3 ryzen5000 based hardware?
by cagsm 05 Dec '21

05 Dec '21

List, newbie with desktop linux usage. Pondering about going for linux on mobile desktop. Some amd zen3 based ryzen5000 mobile based hardware. only integrated gpu apu stuff no discrete gfx chip, only embedded into the cpu/apu hardware. Any best practices? wifi, bluetooth, power saving power efficiency, some nvme disk or something. Any full disk full system encryption good? The system will probably be uefi based no classic bios available I guess. Should I already go for leap 15.4 at its early stage? Any hints in general? TY.

zypper and certificate issue
by Roger Oberholtzer 30 Nov '21

30 Nov '21

I have trouble refreshing the status of a couple repositories on my pretty much up-to-date Tumbleweed system. The problem is with packman, as well as M17N:/fonts/openSUSE_Tumbleweed and windows:/mingw:/win64/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/. So it is both for some openSUSE and some non-openSUSE repos. Some external repos work, and some openSUSE work. The message is generally this: Repository 'MinGW64' is invalid. [mingw64|https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/windows:/mingw:/win6 /openSUSE_Tumbleweed/] Valid metadata not found at specified URL History: - Download (curl) error for 'https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/windows:/mingw:/win64/openSUSE_T…': Error code: Curl error 60 Error message: SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate - Can't provide ./repodata/526857fc123d7384947e093f8293170c026ad9f736e350bedeb65fd292475760-primary.xml.gz So I have some sort of a certificate problem. If I run zypper search ca-certificates, It says: S | Name | Summary | Type --+----------------------------------+-------------------------------------------------------+-------- i | ca-certificates | Utilities for system wide CA certificate installation | package | ca-certificates-cacert | CAcert root certificates | package i | ca-certificates-mozilla | CA certificates for OpenSSL | package | ca-certificates-mozilla-prebuilt | Pre-built CA certificates for OpenSSL | package | ca-certificates-steamtricks | Provides /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt | package It does not help to delete and redefine the repository. Do I need to install ca-certificates-cacer? I Googled this, and the only solution I saw was for SUSE, using the SUSEConnect --cleanup command. Which I do not have on Tumbleweed. -- Roger Oberholtzer

[opensuse] Kernel compilation the openSUSE way?
by Bjoern Voigt 28 Nov '21

28 Nov '21

I usually take the newest openSUSE kernel (from repository Kernel_stable). But since some month I have a DVB T2 HD card, which requires a patch (see https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=194171). So I need to compile kernels myself. I have a working compilation path. But the current path has 12 steps! It takes some time. I wonder, why it is so complicated to configure, compile and install a Kernel under openSUSE. Is there a better/easier/automated way to configure, compile and install a Kernel under openSUSE? I know this blog article. But the article uses Vanilla kernels and also needs 6 steps. With additional patches (4 steps), third-party modules (2 steps) and cleanup (1 step) the article would also need 13 steps: Compiling the Linux Kernel, the SUSE way https://www.suse.com/communities/blog/compiling-de-linux-kernel-suse-way/ This is my Kernel configuration, compilation and installation path: 1.

[oS-en] eth0 trouble
by Carlos E. R. 28 Nov '21

28 Nov '21

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, Yesterday I wanted to update my small laptop (on Leap 15.2), and I connected it to the ethernet cable, but the laptop did not recognize it. If run "rcnetwork restart" it would appear, but would not connect to anything. At first I thought "dns trouble", but then I found that a ping 8.8.8.8 failed as well. I left it at that and switched ti WiFi, and performed the update, hoping that would cure the problem. Today I rebooted, with a newer kernel, and the cable connected from the start. After opening the desktop (I'm using Network Manager), I observed ini gkrellm that the interface eth0 was appearing and disapearing every minute or so. After a while, it became stable. It is not the cable, moving it has no effect. Message log: <https://susepaste.org/51821193> (I see the interface is going on and off again, in the log) Obviously, I have tried another cable, connected to another port of the switch. Same trouble. The switch led is solid green, but the computer does not see it. "rcnetwork restart" makes it appear with the correct IP, but a ping to the router (by number) fails. In fact, after removing the cable completely and issuing the command again, ifconfig reports that eth0 keeps the same address, but wlan has no address, and I can no longer connect to it. Ping to router from machine fails. Manually telling NM to dissconnect the ethernet (which cable was removed minutes ago) allows the wifi to work again. Second part of messages log: <https://susepaste.org/63312588> What is going on? This laptop worked previously, days ago. With the same cables. Another laptop works fine with one of those cables. - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.

preserving a kernel
by George from the tribe 27 Nov '21

27 Nov '21

So I updated tumbleweed and now my bluetooth doesn't work. After some investigation, I plan to file a bug report. It seems the firmware worked with kernel 5.14, but now it doesn't work with 5.15. But for now, as long as I boot into the old kernel, I still can use my bluetooth headphones, and this is important for multiple applications. The kernel I want to use is the 2nd kernel in the list, which is 5.14. I want to preserve this kernel so that on future updates, if they have not solved the bug, the 15.4 kernel will be preserved, but the default kernel, which is 5.15, will be replaced by the next kernel update. Is there a way to do this? At one time in the past I expanded the number of kernels that were in the list of available kernels so that I kept like 6 kernels. I don't remember why I did that, and I don't need that many in any case. However, I don't know how to preserve just one kernel, so that that particular kernel won't be erased, but that updates for other kernels will still load and I will be able to try them. Any ideas? -- George Box: 15.2 | Plasma 5 | AMD Phenom IIX4 | 64 | 32GB Laptop #1: 15.2 | Plasma 5 | AMD FX 7TH GEN | 64 | 32GB Laptop #2: TW | Plasma 5 | Core i7 | 64 | 16GB

puzzled by opensuse repo paths
by Istvan Gabor 26 Nov '21

26 Nov '21

Hello: In openSUSE 15.3 I see a lot of packages indicated by red text in Yast software manager. This lead me to check my configured repos and I am puzzled by what I found. For example I have configured openSUSE Leap 15.3 OSS update repo as: https://download.opensuse.org/update/leap/15.3/oss I checked the above path and found that is does not have the update packages. For example it does not have any kernel updates. But I have updated kernel package installed: kernel-default-5.3.18-59.27.1.x86_64 which is shown red in Yast software manager, indicating that I have no repo configured that has that package. The updated kernel package was installed by Yast Online Update Tool before I manually adjusted the repos (as I did before in earlier openSUSE versions). I am now puzzled by where the updated packages indicated by red text came from. Why not the update/leap/15.3/oss path contains these updates? Where can I find the Leap 15.3 specific updated repo? I see under opensuse/update/ path there are leap/ openSUSE-current/ openSUSE-non-oss-current/ openSUSE-stable/ tumbleweed/ tumbleweed-non-oss/ paths, but there are no version numbers given. What is stable, what is current? Where are they defined? Thanks, Istvan

Swapping ThinkPad drive

I've bought a 1 TB SSD drive to replace the 750 GB drive in my ThinkPad. I was considering using the opportunity to change to UEFI. I'll be mounting the old drive in an external case so that I can copy over the partitions, one of them NTFS. Anything I should worry about in converting to UEFI? Any suggestions? tnx jk

Tumbleweed: All windows start in lower right corner

Hi *, since the before last Tumbleweed update every new window's lower right corner is set to the lower right corner of the actual screen - except for apps or windows for which I have defined special windows rules. Especially for Firefox and KMail this is really annoying. Any idea, what might cause this? TIA. Bye. Michael.

procno - like top, but not as we know it.
by Michael Hamilton 25 Nov '21

25 Nov '21

Is anyone you interested in a GUI process monitoring utility? I've been working on one for my own use. It as has somewhat similar aims as "top", but takes a different approach concentrating more on the "overview" and less on the numbers. I wanted to be more aware of processes that were active and their patterns of activity. I wanted desktop notifications for processes that consume resources excessively (PROCess NOtifications - procno). Procno partly hearkens back to the days of mainframes with rows of blinking lights. If that rings any bells for you, please have a look at: https://github.com/digitaltrails/procno There's a video and screen shot, so you need not waste much time reading. It's still a work in progress, but it does much of what I want. Development will likely slowdown from now on, perhaps adding more validation, or a few more features, such as a nice/renice control or more process info. BTW, procno is partly based on jouno (another pet project of mine). If you're interested in a "different" take on monitoring the journal, one that also makes use of desktop notifications, you should take a look at https://github.com/digitaltrails/jouno As explained at github, both of these are available as community packages at https://software.opensuse.org/ Both are just stand-alone Qt python scripts that can also just be grabbed from github (all the install options are explained at github). Enjoy, or not, as you see fit :-) Michael

Win 10 > Win 11 in VirtualBoz?
by Robin Klitscher 23 Nov '21

23 Nov '21

Running Virtual Box ver 6.1.30 in host Leap 15.2 with Win 10 as guest. Googling around produces much advice on installing Win 11 afresh in a VBox VM, but nothing about upgrading from Win 10 to Win 11 as one can do on original iron. Is the upgrade path in a VBox VM possible? If not at present, is it going to be? Anybody know???? -- Robin K Wellington "Harbour City" New Zealand

Tumbleweed 20211121 - No PIDs left to attach to the scope's control group, refusing: Success
by Michael Hamilton 23 Nov '21

23 Nov '21

Since updating to the latest TW 20211121 I've noticed some a new journal messages, three are logged for each occurrence of the issue: app-org.kde.kate-63c391d3ef34412d857871d30b4280c7.scope: No PIDs left to attach to the scope's control group, refusing: Success app-org.kde.kate-63c391d3ef34412d857871d30b4280c7.scope: Failed with result 'resources'. Failed to start Kate - Advanced Text Editor. The last is logged at priority 3, the first two at priority 4. The applications do start, despite the logged failure. This seems is happening with anything I start from the start-menu, or anything that gets started during session login. It doesn't happen if I start the same application from a shell. Is this a known new feature of 20211121? Can this be safely ignored?

YaST, zypper and packagekit
by J Leslie Turriff 22 Nov '21

22 Nov '21

I know how to use YaST and zypper to manage my software packages, but the other day I discovered that something called packagekit was also active on my system. (I have disabled it.) How does packagekit relate to YaST and zypper? Are they aware of each other? Does packagekit have access to my repository list, and does it update things in the background without my knowledge? I wonder, because my desktop has been behaving strangely, and a new release of it has been published, to which I have not yet explicitly upgraded. Leslie -- Distribution: openSUSE Leap 15.3 x86_64

14 Nov '21

Having booted the installation system, and gone into the expert partitioner, the 'Add' option does not have a keyboard shortcut - you have to tab to it and hit enter. That's new. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (8.5°C)

Leap 15.3 - binutils - imake clash
by Mark Hounschell 10 Nov '21

10 Nov '21

Not sure what update did it but I am getting an imake failure trying to compile something that used to compile. rm -f librmh.a ar clq librmh.a rmh.o ar: libdeps specified more than once I've researched it and supposedly this is fixed in imake 1.0.8. Leap is running imake 1.0.7. Any chance of imake getting updated. Surely I don't need to submit an epr for a problem that has already been fixed. Regards Mark

TW Logs of Importance
by James Pain 09 Nov '21

09 Nov '21

Howdy, all. TLDR; what log files are important when troubleshooting an issue in TW. I'm investigating an openSUSE TW KDE machine that's locking up daily while idle. Screen frozen, keyboard lights not responding, can only force off by holding power button. Even the instant reset button on the case doesn't work. Systemd journal has seemingly nothing of significance. In a hunt to find other logs, I found in the docs a list of log files [0]. However /var/log/warn doesn't seem to exist in TW, and the others don't seem relevant, so I'm continuing a search. If there was a similar page to the Leap logs page [0] for TW, maybe on the wiki, that's be useful. Maybe I can make one with the results of this thread. Thank you in advance.

Kate: Setting font size for printing
by Frans de Boer 09 Nov '21

09 Nov '21

LS, In the past it was possible to set the font and size for printing when using the Kate editor. Nowadays I have to copy a RO template, but you can't specify the font or it's size to be used for printing. Current, I have the font size for the editor set at 8 pt, because that is the size I want to print. For editing I have to increase the font (Ctrl-+) for every document manually to make it readable at all. Is there a better way to have the two different font sizes by default? Regards, Frans. -- A: Yes, just like that A: Ja, net zo Q: Oh, Just like reading a book backwards Q: Oh, net als een boek achterstevoren lezen A: Because it upsets the natural flow of a story A: Omdat het de natuurlijke gang uit het verhaal haalt Q: Why is top-posting annoying? Q: Waarom is Top-posting zo irritant?

NAS Recommendations
by Paul Groves 08 Nov '21

08 Nov '21

Hi all. I am looking for some recommendation for a NAS. To be used to store backups of my three home servers as I am fed up rotating LTO tapes every week and would prefer to perhaps do quarterly tape backups and nightly incremental NAS backups. I have an old Buffalo TerraStation however it is pretty terrible using it with Linux and only really works wind SMB of AFP shares reliably. I have looked at building a FreeNAS unit as I have used Freenas extensively in my previous jobs. Perhaps if anyone knows of a good dual NIC ITX board available now? Alternatively I have heard QNAP are guite good? Anyone care to weigh in with their experiences? Thanks

36 GiB of photographs
by Douglas McGarrett 05 Nov '21

05 Nov '21

Sorry about the slip of the fingers. The correct number is approximately 36 GiB of photos. How to email that pile of pictures, hopefully in one big email to one address, for an insurance claim. I assume the receiver will have only Windows to view them. Thanx for the advice.

By hand, I most often do this with Imagemagick 'convert', but when I tried just this morning, Leap 15.2 - convert 001610523-2020-*-statement.pdf klop.pdf convert: not authorized `001610523-2020-01-statement.pdf' @ error/constitute.c/ReadImage/428. convert: not authorized `001610523-2020-02-statement.pdf' @ error/constitute.c/ReadImage/428. convert: not authorized `001610523-2020-03-statement.pdf' @ error/constitute.c/ReadImage/428. convert: not authorized `001610523-2020-04-statement.pdf' @ error/constitute.c/ReadImage/428. convert: not authorized `001610523-2020-05-statement.pdf' @ error/constitute.c/ReadImage/428. convert: not authorized `001610523-2020-06-statement.pdf' @ error/constitute.c/ReadImage/428. convert: not authorized `001610523-2020-07-statement.pdf' @ error/constitute.c/ReadImage/428. convert: not authorized `001610523-2020-08-statement.pdf' @ error/constitute.c/ReadImage/428. convert: not authorized `001610523-2020-09-statement.pdf' @ error/constitute.c/ReadImage/428. convert: not authorized `001610523-2020-10-statement.pdf' @ error/constitute.c/ReadImage/428. convert: not authorized `001610523-2020-11-statement.pdf' @ error/constitute.c/ReadImage/428. convert: no images defined `klop.pdf' @ error/convert.c/ConvertImageCommand/3275.

firefox scrollbar
by Istvan Gabor 03 Nov '21

03 Nov '21

Hello: The scrollbars' properties (color, background color, width) are really important things in scrollable windows, normally they are controlled by the window theme. I've recently installed firefox 91.2.0esr and its scroll bars are not like the used theme's scrollbar. They are hard to see, changing color depending on visited site and so thin that it is hard to move the cursor over them. I guess this is a new firefox "improvement", because the previous firefox esr (78) uses the theme's scrollbar. Is there a way to make firefox use the theme defined scrollbars? Thanks, Istvan

openSUSE 15.3 & cyrus-imapd
by Joerg Rohrer 01 Nov '21

01 Nov '21

Hello List Updated my system yesterday from 15.2 to 15.3. Basically the update went just fine, buuuut all cyrus-imapd binaries are gone!!! Thought I've read the release notes and understood under Point: 3.2.1 Berkeley DB removed from packages So, is in SUSE Terms cyrus-sasl = cyrus-imapd. If so, bad luck for me and I'm sorry for my ignorance. If not, wasn't it worth spend one sentence in the release note that cyrus-imapd will be removed as well? And even better all cyrus-sasl thingy's are still available/installed on my system. And yes there are still people out using openSUSE as a mailserver WITH cyrus. Second question i have. Is it save to use the "sle" repostitories showing up after the updates since I have no intention to make a sles server out of my openSUSE. # | Alias | Name | Enabled | GPG Check | Refresh | URI --+-----------------------------------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+---------+-----------+---------+------------------------------------------------------------------ 1 | repo-${releasever}-non-oss | openSUSE-15.3 Non-OSS | Yes | (r ) Yes | No | http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/leap/15.3/repo/non-oss/ 2 | repo-${releasever}-oss | openSUSE-15.3 OSS | Yes | (r ) Yes | No | http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/leap/15.3/repo/oss/ 3 | repo-${releasever}-update-non-oss | openSUSE-15.3 Updates Non-OSS | Yes | (r ) Yes | Yes | http://download.opensuse.org/update/leap/15.3/non-oss/ 4 | repo-${releasever}-update-oss | openSUSE-15.3 Updates OSS | Yes | (r ) Yes | Yes | http://download.opensuse.org/update/leap/15.3/oss/ 5 | repo-backports-debug-update | Update repository with updates for openSUSE Leap debuginfo packages from openSUSE Backports | No | ---- | ---- | http://download.opensuse.org/update/leap/15.3/backports_debug/ 6 | repo-backports-update | Update repository of openSUSE Backports | Yes | (r ) Yes | Yes | http://download.opensuse.org/update/leap/15.3/backports/ 7 | repo-sle-debug-update | Update repository with debuginfo for updates from SUSE Linux Enterprise 15 | No | ---- | ---- | http://download.opensuse.org/debug/update/leap/15.3/sle/ 8 | repo-sle-update | Update repository with updates from SUSE Linux Enterprise 15 | Yes | (r ) Yes | Yes | http://download.opensuse.org/update/leap/15.3/sle/ Thank you and best regards J.

mysql upgrade failure
by Marc Chamberlin 31 Oct '21

31 Oct '21

Hello - I have ran into a problem that maybe someone else has hit and knows a solution for it. I recently upgraded my OpenSuSE 15.2 x64 version to OpenSuSE 15.3 x64 and installed all additional updates and patches that were suggested for 15.3. Most of the upgrade succeeded, all except Mariadb. Google has not been helpful either. My understanding of Mariadb is that after a new install of a new version it is suppose to automagically update and fix the databases from the older version, when the server is restarted, but I think this is failing. I found the upgrade log file for Mariadb and it appears to be reporting some kind of corruption has occurred. This is preventing the mariadb (mysql) server from even starting, so it is not possible to use queries to find and repair the database. - > bigbang:/var/tmp/mysql-protected.lBP2YQ # more log_upgrade_run.err > 2021-10-31 12:11:36 0 [Note] InnoDB: !!! innodb_force_recovery is set > to 1 !!! > 2021-10-31 12:11:36 0 [Note] InnoDB: Uses event mutexes > 2021-10-31 12:11:36 0 [Note] InnoDB: Compressed tables use zlib 1.2.11 > 2021-10-31 12:11:36 0 [Note] InnoDB: Number of pools: 1 > 2021-10-31 12:11:36 0 [Note] InnoDB: Using crc32 + pclmulqdq instructions > 2021-10-31 12:11:36 0 [Note] mysqld: O_TMPFILE is not supported on > /tmp (disabling future attempts) > 2021-10-31 12:11:36 0 [Note] InnoDB: Using Linux native AIO > 2021-10-31 12:11:36 0 [Note] InnoDB: Initializing buffer pool, total > size = 134217728, chunk size = 134217728 > 2021-10-31 12:11:36 0 [Note] InnoDB: Completed initialization of > buffer pool > 2021-10-31 12:11:36 0 [ERROR] InnoDB: corrupted TRX_NO 5f737461748dea16 > 2021-10-31 12:11:36 0 [Note] InnoDB: Retry with innodb_force_recovery=5 > 2021-10-31 12:11:36 0 [ERROR] InnoDB: Plugin initialization aborted > with error Data structure corruption > 2021-10-31 12:11:36 0 [Note] InnoDB: Starting shutdown... > 2021-10-31 12:11:36 0 [ERROR] Plugin 'InnoDB' init function returned > error. > 2021-10-31 12:11:36 0 [ERROR] Plugin 'InnoDB' registration as a > STORAGE ENGINE failed. > 2021-10-31 12:11:36 0 [Note] Plugin 'FEEDBACK' is disabled. > 2021-10-31 12:11:36 0 [ERROR] Unknown/unsupported storage engine: InnoDB > 2021-10-31 12:11:36 0 [ERROR] Aborting On a hunch, I decided to install the OpenSuSE OSS repository for 15.2 and this allowed me to drop back and install version 10.4.13-lp152.1.1 of the mariadb server, client, errormessages, and tools packages. (OpenSuSE 15.3 wants to install version 10.5.12-3.9.1 of these mariadb packages.) And lo and behold the previous 10.4.13-lp152.1.1 package works fine! So what gives? Any idea why the upgraded version of mariadb packages are failing to upgrade and support my databases? As I said I have tried Googling for an answer but no joy finding one. A lot of the proposed solutions, Google found, assume the mariadb server is up and running (hump!) so the example solutions given, use mysql queries and commands to fix corrupt databases and tables. I should also point out that AFAIK most, if not all of my database structures are using InnoDB and not the older MYISAM structures (although the mysql database itself appears to have both). I did make a mysql backup of all the databases but without the ability to start the mariadb server I don't know how to make use of this backup file to reconstruct all the databases and their tables etc. Thanks in advance for any and all advice on how to upgrade my mariadb server.

Qt software compile problem
by Gustav Degreef 31 Oct '21

31 Oct '21

Hello folks, I am trying to compile a Qt program which is not available in ANY opensuse repo, that I can find. It is called Hello Speech example and it is used to control QtSpeech. Hello Speak Example is used to control the rate, rhythm, voice etc from QtSpeech. I got the software comes from git. The instructions on compiling the package are to run "qmake--qt5" followed by "make". When I run qmake-qt5, I get the following message: "Project ERROR: Unknown module(s) in QT: texttospeech" there was no other output at all. I searched for this and found a post (Ubuntu forum) with a similar build problem and same error message. It seems to indicate where the problem lies (some edits by me): reply ..."You state that you are using Qt 5.9 but the error message shows include directories to qt4..." op ..." Issue was that build was taking qt4 libs instead of Qt5, Fixed by adding |qt5-default| package" I am running opensuse 15.3 new install (not updated from 15.2, etc.). I installed the base development and kernel develpment softwae patterns via yast. I also ran: zypper install libqt5-qtbase-devel Which installed a bunch of packages. Am I missing some Qt5 packages? Any help would be appreciated, thanks. Gustav

comparing installed package list from a specific repo between two systems
by Istvan Gabor 30 Oct '21

30 Oct '21

Hello: I have two openSUSE 15.1 installations and would like to compare their installed packages from a given repo, let's say from packman. I would like to use diff program to compare the lists of installed packages. I can produce an installed package list of the packman repo using: zypper pa -ir <packman> > list.txt The problem with this approach is that the column widths are different depending on the installed packages' names and therefore I cannot use diff to compare the lists. (All lines will be different.) Is there a way to configure zypper how to format its output? Or is there any option that makes the output usable for diff? Other solutions are also welcome. Thanks, Istvan

Two of my credit cards were hacked last month, so I would like to install and use a vpn to purchase items on the 'net. I downloaded and printed out a paper called YaST VPN module.

can't copy many files
by Douglas McGarrett 30 Oct '21

30 Oct '21

I am tearing what little hair I still have! I have ~38 GiB of photos in a directory on the main drive. I need to copy these to a flash drive. I have a 128 GiB flash drive. I can only copy about 4 or 5 photos to the flash drive. (I am trying to do this with Dolphin as a source and File Manager as the destination.) After it copies about 5 files, it will not copy any more. Directory shows 14 MiB on the disk. (I have previously cleared the flash with gParted and told it to be fat32-- I need the flash to be readable on a Windows machine.) It is now showing in gParted as sda *and* sdb, with different sizes used, but no where near the full size of 128 GiB. This is not the only flash drive I have seen this problem with, but it's the only one I have that *should* be big enough to hold all the photos. ( I need to send them to an insurance company.) Failure message is "Could not write to /run/media/root/9458-DC92/insurance_pix/9:1_balun.jpg." I can't even try this on another computer without downloading all the files from the camera again. ( I will if necessary, but I don't understand the failure mode.) --doug

Leap 15.3 yast software repositories priority order
by Istvan Gabor 26 Oct '21

26 Oct '21

Hello: This is a new openSUSE Leap 15.3 installation. The order the repos are listed in yast software repositories window is strange (incorrect). All repos with priority number 99 are separeted in a different group from any other repos which have different priority number. For example if I set ascending order I get something like this (I write only the numbers): 60 120 150 180 99 (Default) 99 (Default) 99 (Default) 99 (Default) That is, everything not 99 is listed before 99 independently from its value. How could I fix this, it's really annoying. Thanks, Istvan

Tiny Letters
by Mark Misulich 25 Oct '21

25 Oct '21

Hi, I have been configuring my Asus laptop after I installed opensuse. I found by research that there has been an issue in the past with the Intel video driver that my laptop uses in linux. But that driver was placed in the 5.8 kernel and the problem went away. Those fixes have now been added into the updated 5.3 kernels, which are used in Leap 15.3. The driver is working, but it doesn't seem to be configured correctly from the start, and anything displayed in any window was displayed too small. So the issue to me seemed to be that the driver configuration was incorrect, at least for my laptop display. I haven't found any information about how to generally configure the driver overall (Intel TigerLake-LP Iris Xe Graphics [TGL GT2]). What I have done is to increase font and icon size, and window zoom to get a readable screen in each browser. Yet what I haven't found is how to increase the size of the font in the URL windows in a browser. They appear very tiny, as the rest of a browser screen used to present before I adjusted the settings. The adjustments I have made in the browser settings haven't affected the url window in the browser. Would anyone have ideas as to how to increase font size in that specific location? Thanks Mark

[oS-en] Unending sync
by Carlos E. R. 25 Oct '21

25 Oct '21

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, This afternoon I told this desktop machine to hibernate. My script to hibernate is this: date --rfc-3339=seconds echo Syncing sync date --rfc-3339=seconds echo "synced. Now screensaver" xscreensaver-command -lock sleep 3 #sudo chvt 10 #sleep 1 sudo /usr/local/sbin/beep sleep 1 #systemctl hibernate sudo /usr/bin/systemctl hibernate sleep 3 sudo /usr/local/sbin/beep #date --rfc-3339=seconds echo Well, at 19 hours it was still going at it: Telcontar:~ # hibernate 2021-10-23 15:23:17+02:00 Syncing It had been attempting to sync the filesystem for 4 hours, unsuccessfully. I do a separate sync previous to hibernating, because otherwise the hibernate stalls for long time not giving a hint of what is going on. What is going on? Well, the problem seems to be syncing the metadata of partition sdc9 (reiserfs, rotating rust), which holds /var/spool/news/. It can be a few millions of small files. Not really a news server, just the leafnode proxy. I know it takes very long after it runs /etc/cron.daily/leafnode, which calls "/usr/sbin/texpire": logger -p cron.warning -t texpire "CER: running leafnode's texpire without ionice" test -x /usr/sbin/texpire && su - news -c "/usr/sbin/texpire" logger -p cron.warning -t texpire "CER: finished texpire" sync -f /var/spool/news/ logger -p cron.warning -t texpire "CER: and synced -f" That sync can take half an hour normally, but that was not the time it runs: <9.4> 2021-10-22T23:45:01.361524+02:00 Telcontar texpire - - - CER: running leafnode's texpire without ionice ... <9.4> 2021-10-23T00:35:19.929058+02:00 Telcontar texpire - - - CER: finished texpire <9.4> 2021-10-23T00:37:09.833697+02:00 Telcontar texpire - - - CER: and synced -f So it should have not interfered. So what? Another possibility is that there is a cronjob that every 4 minutes tries to fetch news. So what I have done is disabling that job, and after a while, sync finished. So now my hibernate script will also need to stop news fetching. But how is it possible that sync is unable to cope and sync in time the metadata of a hundred new tiny files at most? Is it some new problem with reiserfs? - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.

I know I can install this with the traditional rpm command, and I know it will work, but I always get some nasty comments about doing so. YAST doesn't seem to see it. PLEASE don't tell me that Libre Office is just as good; it's not. --doug

Installation Doesn't Install
by Mark Misulich 21 Oct '21

21 Oct '21

Hi, I am trying to install Opensuse Leap 15.3 on a new Asus UX393E laptop, as a multiboot with Windows 11. The laptop has a 1 TB hardrive installed, which is listed as a NVMe Intel SSDPEKNW010T8. In preparation for the installation, I reduced the size of the Win partition, leaving an unallocated space for the Opensuse install. After rebooting, I disabled secure boot. I then booted Gparted from a USB stick and installed separate partitions in the unallocated space for Swap, Root, and Home. I planned on using the windows /boot/efi partition for the /boot/efi required by Leap. Then I attempted to install Leap 15.3 from a USB stick. The installation program worked well till I got to the partitioning. The install program doesn't recognize my harddrive at all, it only recognizes the USB stick with the installation program. It says it is unable to provide guided installation advice, and when I try to use expert partitioning, I find that the laptop's harddrive is not recognized at all. I haven't run across anything to help me out when I tried to search for an answer, and the opensuse forum is down now so I couldn't search there for ideas. Anyone have ideas about how to fix this problem? Thanks, Mark

Hi. I'm new at openSUSE. I only found the documentation for Leap. Where can I find the documentation and maybe FAQ for openSUSE Tumbleweed GNOME Live which I use on a USB stick?

Gajim on Tumbleweed: were does Gajim store its config file?
by Stakanov 17 Oct '21

17 Oct '21

I tried with grep -v password ~/.config/gajim/config > gajim-config grep: /home/entropy/.config/gajim/config: File o directory non esistente I had a look at the folder. There is a config.old from May. This means that since May 2021 there has been a setup change in TW that did put the config file somewhere.....and I do not have an idea where it could be. Searched all the files with gajim- config but the name has been changed too probably. Anybody has an idea where it could have been placed now?

[oS-en] search and link tool?

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, Do you know of a tool that would compare all files in two directories, one file by one, and if they are the same file, hard-link them?

Unabel to connect Xiaomi phone to Tumbleweed
by oszko＠chem.u-szeged.hu 16 Oct '21

16 Oct '21

Dear All, For some time, I am unable to transfer files (photos) from my Xiaomi redmi Note 9 phone to a Tumbleweed laptop with KDE through USB. Once it used to work, but something has changed recently. I enabled file transfer on the phone, but Dolphin does not react, no MTP device. I installed Krisader and even Nautilus but no progress. I also have a partition with virtual machines, it also vanished. I used to click on its icon in the places menu in Dolphin, gave the su password, and started Virtual Box. I see both phone and VM partiton in Dolphin when started in su mode, but accessing them is not possible. Any experience outside? Thanks: Albert ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program.

Browsers using webkit2gtk3 can't open HTML files
by Ngô Ngọc Đức Huy 16 Oct '21

16 Oct '21

Hi, Firstly, excuse me if I'm sending to the wrong mailing list and please redirect me to the appropriate one if that's the case. I've recently tried badwolf[1], a browser using WebKitGTK engine. I also built a package on OBS in case anyone want to try out[2]. When I try opening an HTML file with it, instead of rendering the HTML, it prompts a file download. I brought this up with the project maintainer, and they responded that this is a problem with the WebKit, rather than the browser itself. Other users also confirmed the browser can render HTML files on their machine just fine. Can someone who use a WebKit browser (e.g. this browser or GNOME Web) confirm? Is it a problem with the WebKit build on openSUSE? Or rather, it is a problem with how I compile the browser? [1]: https://hacktivis.me/projects/badwolf [2]: https://software.opensuse.org/package/badwolf Other info: WebKit version: 2.34.0

Updates and update error
by Douglas McGarrett 15 Oct '21

15 Oct '21

Two questions in one-- Using LEAP. I thought this was supposed to be free of continuous updates, unlike its brother Tumbleweed. Nevertheless I get several software update announcements every day, which I don't implement. Now I have a popup "Update Error" Permission to access 'http://packman.inode.at/suse/openSUSE_12.2/repodata/repomd.xml' denied. Is this important, and if so why, and how to fix it. If it is not important, why do I get it? --doug

Hello: How can I set/change my network's MAC address in openSUSE Leap 15.3 with wicked configured network? Earlier adding LLADDR="<mac address> line to /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-<card> did it. It doesn't seem to work in Leap 15.3. Thanks, Istvan

news account without user
by jdd＠dodin.org 11 Oct '21

11 Oct '21

Hello, I'm trying to install INN, the nntp server on openSUSE 15.3 I am root on this system, and log as root with ssh key. INN is available from yast, so not problem installing the binaries. But... INN installs itself as user "news". The "news" folder is available with cd ~news, and is physically setup in /etc/news. this user is a system user and not allowed to login. however, some commands are better used as user news. What is the best way to achieve this? runuser don't works ("no account"). may I allow login? I could give a very long random password to prevent other login than root thanks jdd -- http://dodin.org https://valeriedodin.com

aarch64 qcom2 images
by jdd＠dodin.org 07 Oct '21

07 Oct '21

Hello, My "Free" french FAI gives me a high end "modem", that is really a NAS and allows me to use VM's. (some notes here: http://www.dodin.org/wiki/pmwiki.php?n=Doc.Debug-Freebox-Delta-Vm) It allows me to use JeOS image. Very nice. This is done automatically with some pre-configured variables (script available is necessary). Having some debugging to make, I looked after these images on openSUSE download page without success: Here, JeOS is only x86_64 (OpenStack-Cloud for qcow2). However, using google to search qcow2, I got this page: https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Cloud:/Images:/Leap_15.3/images/ with the necessary image (?) openSUSE-Leap-15.3.aarch64-NoCloud.qcow2 I notice the "NO" in front of cloud. I wonder why the aarch64 image I used to install (but it's real name is hidden by the interface) is not provided on the download page, and why is there here the "NO" in the name thanks jdd -- http://dodin.org

Suggestions for a diagram drawing program.
by Roger Oberholtzer 07 Oct '21

07 Oct '21

Hi all. I am soon to embark on a flurry of system documentation. As a part of this, diagrams showing the layout of both hardware, software, data flow and processing will be done. The things to be presented are rather complicated in that there are many components and many connections between the components. I have done diagrams in the past, but have never been wowed by the software. I'm sure a part of that is my experience with the software. But I think that I might also have chosen poorly. Right tool for the task and all that. So, I am looking at the alternatives. My preference is something that runs on multiple platforms (Linux and Windows). To be honest, a Web tool it not out of the question. Except it would be nice to have the diagrams saved locally for use over a long period of time. It is not a one off thing. These diagrams need to be maintained and by perhaps more than one person. At least over time. Interactive diagrams where the viewer can click and get more details or related diagrams would be nice. Having everything in a monster diagram seems like a bad approach. On the other hand, including the diagrams in other documents that might not be dynamic is needed. So, if you have used any such tools (especially on Linux), what are your experiences? And I expecting too much? I have looked at programs like dia. It seems rather basic. But that might just be my knowledge of what it can do. I have also used programs that let you specify the diagram in a text file and it lays out the diagram. That has been fine for simple diagrams. But when the diagrams reach any realistic complexity, the layout is often something that one must struggle with. All pointers are welcome. I have looked at various discussions of this but they are typically so superficial that they provide no real information. I am willing to investigate alternatives. -- Roger Oberholtzer

bogomips on VM
by jdd＠dodin.org 06 Oct '21

Hello, I want to compare several hosting systems. For this I try to use Bogomips as given on start dmesg. However, on one of my systems, installed with JeOS on a vm, I get: dmesg | grep Bogo [ 0.000166] Calibrating delay loop (skipped), value calculated using timer frequency.. 50.00 BogoMIPS (lpj=250000) is there a way to get the Bogomips for this system? (or any other simple way to estimate the machine speed)? thanks jdd -- http://dodin.org
