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. Update kernel-source and kernel-default from Kernel_stable repository 2. Save kernel-source: cp -a /usr/src/linux-4.x.y-... /usr/src/linux-4.x.y-my 3. Apply my patches cd /usr/src/linux-4.x.y-my patch -b -p1 < ~myuser/.../my-kernel-patch.patch 4. Copy standard configuration: cd /usr/src/linux-4.x.y-my cp -v /boot/config-4.11.4-1.gcba98ee-default .config 5. Edit .config: remove CONFIG_LOCALVERSION, CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL, CONFIG_EXPERT remove some hardware-dependent settings 6. edit configuration interactively: Disable CONFIG_EXPERT and CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL, because otherwise "make binrpm-pkg" creates huge kernel binaries. make oldconfig [...] Local version - append to kernel release (LOCALVERSION) [] (NEW) -my1 * * Configure standard kernel features (expert users) * Configure standard kernel features (expert users) (EXPERT) [N/y/?] (NEW) Kernel debugging (DEBUG_KERNEL) [N/y/?] (NEW) make menuconfig Do some additional configuration. 7. Compile kernel (-j4 for four processor cores, ionice and nice to reduce the load, binrpm-pkg for RPM without source-RPM) make clean nice ionice -c idle make -j4 binrpm-pkg 8. Install the kernel RPM package rpm -Uvh /usr/src/packages/RPMS/x86_64/kernel-4.x.y_my1-....x86_64.rpm 9. Install necessary symbolic links for "dkms" cd /lib/modules/4.x.y-my1 ln -sv /usr/src/linux-4.x.y-my source ln -sv /usr/src/linux-4.x.y-my build 10. Update third-party modules (e.g. Nvidia driver): dkms install -m nvidia -v 375.66 -k 4.x.y-my1 11. Cleanup cd /usr/src/linux-4.x.y-my make clean 12.

[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

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

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.

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

internet security
by Douglas McGarrett 21 Nov '21

21 Nov '21

Recently credit cards were hacked, and I had to get replacements. Today found an item charged to my name with a shipping address in North Carolina! (I'm in New York.) Is there a recommendation for software that can protect against this, and if so, what is it? (I looked at ESET, which comes highly recommended, but when I went to sign up, was given only Windows, Mac, and Android OSes to pick. Also says end of life second quarter of 2022. Is this something that can be protected by software, and if so, what software? Running Leap 15.3. --doug

Trying above update with the lokal installed oss-13.2-DVD image as only active repository.

[oS-en] Firefox will not start.
by Carlos E. R. 20 Nov '21

20 Nov '21

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 In one machine, running Leap 15.2, Firefox does not display. It runs, asks what profile to start, but never opens. I have just updated the machine. I can open it in safe mode. It asks if I want to refresh the profile, I say yes, and it opens. It keeps my tabs. Add ons are gone (there was only one, an add blocker). I close it and try to start it normally, but does not. I have to kill it. Gone through this three or four times. What is going on? How do I find out? Video is Intel. I try to create a new profile. Dialog pops up, says to click next, but the buttons are half way out the bottom of the window and I can not read them. I try to rename the resulting profile, but does not obey the keys to type a new name. I manage to delete it. Create new profile again, this time the next key displays properly. I have to hit it twice. Try to rename it, impossible. Nevertheless, that new profile fails to display, I have to kill it. Trying to downgrade firefox from 91 to 78. Says I have to create a new profile because bookmarks have been migrated :-( (does it create a backup of the profile when it migrates?) But at least it runs. Maybe I can find the list of opened tabs somewhere in the old profile. - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.

xTuple anyone?
by Lew Wolfgang 17 Nov '21

17 Nov '21

Hi Folks, I've been asked to look into hosting an xTuple server, an ERP system. The docs look like it supports Ubuntu and Debian, but no mention of RPM-based distros. Does anyone have any experience with xTuple and can offer some pointers? Would I even have a chance to host it on Leap? Thanks in advance, Lew

Raid rebuild on every reboot?
by Klaus Vink Slott 15 Nov '21

15 Nov '21

Hi. I use a retired office pc with core i5 with as a NAS. I have dropped in 2 disks (3.5T sata) and configured as md raid1 and with lvm on top. It has worked flawless for a year or so, but now after the latest 2 reboots it has triggered a raid rebuilding. Only thing I find in dmesg (but I am not sure what to search for) klaus@raagi:~> sudo dmesg | grep " md" [ 4.131071] md/raid1:md127: active with 2 out of 2 mirrors [ 4.282183] md127: detected capacity change from 0 to 4000261472256 [ 64.407382] md: data-check of RAID array md127 [21681.409218] md: md127: data-check interrupted. [25477.760407] md: data-check of RAID array md127 [47096.271827] md: md127: data-check interrupted. I left the PC running after reboot, so I am not sure why the data-check was interrupted. Any ideas on why it has started to rebuild after every reboot? -- Cheers Klaus

All, paste.opensuse.org has gone nuts. I'm attempting to paste the 100 lines from "freshclam -v" as freshclam failed claiming it can't reach any servers in freshclam.conf.

Leap 15.3 - binutils - imake clash
by Mark Hounschell 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

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.

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

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

vpn
by Douglas McGarrett 30 Oct '21

30 Oct '21

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. It says to install the latest stable version us zypper: sudo zypper install yast2-vpn. I did that, and after a page full of error messages, it says: The following NEW package is going to be installed: ` yast2-vpn 1 new package to install. Overall download size: 32.1 KiB. Already cached: 0 B. After the operation, additional 110.0 KiB will be used. Continue?

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.

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

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?

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?

What is the best way to achieve this? runuser don't works ("no account"). may I allow login?

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.

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

I've never had hardware newer than the distro to contend with. It might be enough to install from repositories/Kernel:/stable/standard/x86_64/ or the 15.3 kernel, but it might also require newer firmware or a newer xf86-video-amdgpu or even Xorg. I'd try the 15.3 kernel first, but it might depend on something incompatible with the 15.2 basesytem. If it won't install, I would expect the stable/standard kernel would. Kernel is the place to start. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science. Team OS/2 ** Reg. Linux User #211409 ** a11y rocks! Felix Miata

low resolution with new Ryzen 5 built-in graphics
by Carlos F. Lange 03 Oct '21

03 Oct '21

I am trying to setup a new machine with oS 15.2, but it is giving me only a fall-back graphic resolution of 1024x768, even though the monitor has HD resolution. The graphics is built-in in the CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600G with Built-in Radeon™ Vega CU Graphics lspci describes the device as "[AMD/ATI] Cezanne", which sounds right. But KDE is only offering this poor resolution. Is there a way to achieve the higher resolution that the built-in graphics can offer? -- Carlos F Lange Gaúcho nas Pradarias https://sites.google.com/site/carlosflange/

Can't run NFS server
by Wolfgang Mueller 03 Oct '21

03 Oct '21

I downgraded one of my computers to 15.2 because this is the only way to have a sound. Now I installed the NFS server as follows: At first I executed "zypper in yast2-nfs-server" for making "NFS server" available to Yast. Next I prepared an /etc/exports file and executed "Yast | Network Services | NFS Server" Finally I invoked "Yast | System | Services Manager" and started "nfs-server" and "nfsserver". But that did not help, the NFS server does not work, i.e. it is impossibile to NFS-mount a file on a different computer. What is wrong? Any help is welcome. Thank you in advance, Wolfgang

For my purposes, a protection against exterior attacks would be sufficient. But so far, I did not manage to set up firewalld correctly.

ssh problem
by Wolfgang Mueller 02 Oct '21

02 Oct '21

I downgraded one of my computers to 15.2 because this is the only way to have a sound. After my NFS server problem has been solved now, I have one more problem, i.e. I cannot access to this computer, called "pachew", by ssh. When ssh is invoked from outside, no prompt for a password appears, but any connection is immediately refused, and this error message appears: "ssh: connect to host pachew port 22: No route to host" Any suggestions? Thanks in advance, Wolfgang

[oS-en] WiFi connection mussings.
by Carlos E. R. 02 Oct '21

02 Oct '21

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hi, Where I am at the moment I got a new router from a new ISP, that has both 2.5 GHz and 5 GHz bands. And it provides (ISP defaults) two SSIDs, one "normal" and another at 5GHZ. Names like these: sagemcomXXXX and sagemcomXXXX-5G This is apparently typical of ISPs here. Looking at network manager settings, I noticed that I can choose the band, or set it to auto. All the settings are the same, I could use the same configuration, and let automatics choose one or another band - but no, the SSIDs are different. If it were possible to tell NM in a single profile to use a different SSID for each band, I could do that. The GUI certainly doesn't allow it. It seems I'd better set the band manually on each of the two profiles (now it is 'auto'), so they don't waste time probing. I don't know if I should fuse both configs into one on the router, same SSID - or not, I don't know what caveats there would be. And, here there may be later other machines using Windows or Android. One thing I noticed is that my laptop connects almost instantly. On the old router, it could take several seconds to connect. And a curiosity: if it can not connect, the XFCE desktop does not recover the open apps of the previous session, it is empty. Ideas, considerations? - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.

oS 15.3 KDE mounting removable drives
by Roger Oberholtzer 01 Oct '21

01 Oct '21

My oS 15.3 / KDE (up-to-date as of today) does not pop up a window offering some activity when a removable USB drive is connected. The devices show up correctly in the system in general and can be mounted. But there is no activity in KDE. When looking at the Device Actions in the system configuration, I see that in the Open with File Manager menu, it says that "The device property Drive Type must equal Floppy" must match. A couple questions: Do USB drives have this property? How can I determine what the Drive Type for a USB disk is? How can I remove this requirement? I see that the field for Floppy is text, not a list of predefined types. Of course, it might be some other of the properties defined in this menu. I have: Ignored must equal false Usage must equal FileSystem type is StorageAccess DriveType must equal Floppy Do folks where this is working have the same settings? -- Roger Oberholtzer

jeos
by jdd＠dodin.org 01 Oct '21

Hello, I recently noticed my ISP (french "Free") that give me a new modem, in fact was giving a real computer. This computer have 4Gb ram (extendable up to 16Gb at least) and *4* sata disks places, raid capable. I fitted them with two old 350Gb laptop HDD and could create a raid1 array (ext4). then I could create a virtual machine (I don't know what is the software used, proprietary interface). Right now only for test purpose, 1Gb ram and 50Gb HDD. This FAI provided several templates as guest. One of them was openSUSE JeOs!! - the modem is arm powered (armada 8040). This install went perfectly well. less than 1.2Gb install :-). I had and could easily extend the disk and the system from 2Gb to the 50Gb size wanted. Yast is available. What I would like to know is is I can use it like my favorite Leap 15.3, server mode. The VM is EFI and BTRFS. Are the available applications for arm identical with the amd64 ones? any thing I have to know? The wiki is very short about jeos (https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:JeOS) thanks jdd -- http://dodin.org

OOPS... wrong list. :[ https://drydenwire.com/news/former-burnett-county-medical-examiner-allegedl… BURNETT COUNTY -- A criminal complaint has been filed charging a former Burnett County Medical Examiner with stealing cash from a deceased person’s wallet while performing her duties at the scene of the death. Burnett County authorities, including Sheriff’s Deputies and Medical Examiners, responded to the scene of a death in November 2020. A Burnett County Sheriff’s Deputy’s body camera showed a wallet being removed from the deceased person’s pocket and also showed that there were multiple $100 bills located in the wallet. Former Medical Examiner Sara Stadler is also captured on the video footage, handling the wallet and cash. Funeral home staff members who were at the scene of the death offered to take the wallet into their possession and provide it to the family of the deceased the next morning, according to the criminal complaint filed against Stadler. Stadler told them no, and stated that the Medical Examiner’s Office had a policy about taking possession of cash and bringing it to the Medical Examiner’s Office. Burnett County Sheriff’s Investigators were later advised by Human Resources that there is no such policy. The criminal complaint states that the Medical Examiner’s report did not mention recovering a wallet or billfold from the scene, or of any cash being counted, and no property report log was filled out regarding any cash. When Stadler was asked to bring the wallet to the funeral home to give it to the family, she stated that she could not make it at that time, but that she would mail it. The criminal complaint goes on to state that approximately two weeks later, a family member of the deceased came to the funeral home to ask about the wallet as it had still not been received. Funeral home staff contacted the Medical Examiner’s office, and asked about the location of the wallet. Another Burnett County Medical Examiner checked the safe at the Medical Examiner’s office where the wallet should have been, but did not find it. Stadler was contacted about the wallet, and she advised that it was in a manila envelope in a cupboard at the office. The criminal complaint states that the wallet was found, but there was no cash inside the wallet; only an ID and a social security card. Criminal charges were filed against Stadler in August 2021, including Class I Felony failure of a public employee to perform non-discretionary or ministerial duty; and Class G Felony theft from the person of another or from a corpse. Online circuit court records show that Stadler is scheduled to make an initial appearance on her charges in October 2021. A Burnett County online staff directory indicates that Stadler is no longer a member of the Burnett County Medical Examiner’s Office.

zypper up with non-SUSE repos in Tumbleweed
by George from the tribe 30 Sep '21

30 Sep '21

Can someone tell me if this is a bad idea and why - I want to do regular updates, like security updates to google chrome and things like that, for all my programs and apps that are managed by non-openSUSE repositories. Then do regular zypper dup updates for the whole system only like once a month. That way I minimize my chances of something breaking right before a critical business trip or something like that, but still keep my security up to date. Any thoughts?

wireshark using remote interface
by Dave Howorth 29 Sep '21

29 Sep '21

I want to monitor traffic on an interface on a remote machine and can't see the best way to do that. I have wireshark on my opensuse box and want to monitor traffic on the wlan0 wireless interface on a headless pi. I started by putting wireshark on the pi and remoting its interface via ssh-X to the opensuse box, but that gives me strange options in the capture window (ciscodump et al). Whenever I google I get confused about which end is 'remote' and which end is 'local'. I also tried installing tcpdump on the pi and got that to display in the opensuse xterm I'm running ssh to the pi in. But I don't understand how to connect that to wireshark. So what's best? Should I be running wireshark on the pi but displayed on the opensuse box, and if so how do I get it to show me the pi's interfaces? Or should I be running wireshark on the opensuse box and if so how do I get it to show me the pi's interfaces?

Yast Partitioner: Device Graph missing in Leap 15.3?

Hi! I upgraded to Leap 15.3 and the "Device Graphs" section in Yast -> Partitioner went missing. "zypper verify" says all dependencies are met after the upgrade. Does anyone have an idea, how to get the "Device Graphs" section back? Best regards Thomas

YaST is failing to set up wi-fi (wlan0) interface correctly.
by Marc Chamberlin 28 Sep '21

28 Sep '21

Hi - I have ran into a sudden unexpected failure on Yast2's part in setting up my wi-fi interface that I need help with. I am running OpenSuSE Leap 15.2 on my laptop, x64 bit version. I have had no problems with the wi-fi interface up until yesterday. I have a dual boot system where I can boot up Windows 10 on this laptop also. Windows 10 does NOT have any problems with the wi-fi interface so I can be pretty certain this is not a hardware failure. My problem began with either one of two events, the first being I had just updated my laptop with a bunch of updates, didn't keep track of what was installed, and cannot say for certain that the updates are the culprit. Second, I then attempted to use Yast to set up my wi-fi (wlan0) to use my Android phone as a mobile hotspot. (this is something I very rarely do, but was necessary in order to run a zoom session for a neighborhood meeting) The only thing I did in Yast was to scan for and change the access point so that my laptop would use my mobile phone instead. Everything else remains the same, account user name, password, encryption etc. And it failed! I couldn't figure out why so gave up and tried to reset Yast to use the access point that I normally use in my house, and that too failed in the same way. I got no idea why, I have rechecked all my setting in Yast and nothing else has changed or been touched. I even compared all the Yast settings for the wlan0 interface with another laptop that works, and no differences were found other than hostname. Lots of Googling has enabled me to find a workaround and get the wlan0 interface working, but it is a bit squirrelly and not exactly a repeatable sequence of commands to get the interface working again. FYI I use a dhcpd service to get an IP address for my laptop, but even setting it up with a static IP address still results in Yast not getting the interface to work. The workaround is as follows - After attempting to set up the wlan0 interface with Yast, I execute the following two commands to see if the interface is working and whether I have an IP address - > marcslaptop:/var/log # iwconfig wlan0 > wlan0 IEEE 802.11 ESSID:off/any > Mode:Managed Access Point: Not-Associated Tx-Power=0 dBm > Retry short limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off > Encryption key:off > Power Management:on > > marcslaptop:/var/log # ifconfig > eth0: flags=4099<UP,BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 > ether 38:d5:47:31:54:0f txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet) > RX packets 0 bytes 0 (0.0 B) > RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0 > TX packets 0 bytes 0 (0.0 B) > TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0 > > lo: flags=73<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING> mtu 65536 > inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 255.0.0.0 > inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 scopeid 0x10<host> > loop txqueuelen 1000 (Local Loopback) > RX packets 22 bytes 2640 (2.5 KiB) > RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0 > TX packets 22 bytes 2640 (2.5 KiB) > TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0 > > wlan0: flags=4099<UP,BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 > ether e4:a7:a0:46:83:e0 txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet) > RX packets 0 bytes 0 (0.0 B) > RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0 > TX packets 0 bytes 0 (0.0 B) > TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0 As you can see, no joy.

ink monitor
by Douglas McGarrett 27 Sep '21

Two questions: 1. Found an ink monitor in tar.bz format. Can OpenSUSE install something like that without first unpacking it? If so, what app to do so? 2. Any suggestions for an ink monitor for the Epson 4530 printer? Thanx--doug

yast package manager show rpm/package groups
by Istvan Gabor 26 Sep '21

26 Sep '21

Hello: Currently I am using openSUSE Leap 15.1. 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. I can't find this view mode in Leap 15.1, only a very rough grouping showing only 24 option like: All packeges Multiversion Packages There is no fine selection option. Was that option removed? If not, how do I get it back? If yes, why and when? Thanks, Istvan

XSane
by Douglas McGarrett 26 Sep '21

26 Sep '21

Now that I can see the Epson printer and print to it, I would like to get the scanner to work also. When I select XSane Scanner Tool, I get a box "no devices available" --the scanner is part of the Epson printer and works manually. I wonder if this is the problem I had several years ago that required an addition to one of the driver files, but I don't know how to find out. I think I did mention it in a note to the group, but I don't know if that was for the scanner or the printer. (Also, there seem to be several email paths to the folks at OS, so I don't know which one it would have been.) --doug

test

test message. -- As a general rule, men expect disappointment: they know they must not be impatient, that it will come sooner or later, that it will hold off long enough for them to proceed with their undertakings of the moment. The disabused man is different: for him, disappointment occurs at the same time as the deed; he has no need to await it, it is present. By freeing himself from succession, he has devoured the possible and rendered the future superfluous. "I cannot meet you in your future." he says to the others. "We do not have a single moment in common." Because for him the whole of the future is already here. When we perceive the end in the beginning, we move faster than time. Illumination, that lightning disappointment, affords a certitude which transforms disillusion into deliverance. ~E. M. Cioran

Leap 15.2 no GUI login screen
by Mark Hounschell 24 Sep '21

24 Sep '21

This is a system that was just updated from leap-15 using proprietary nvidia drivers to leap-15.2 using nouveau drivers. It was done using the "zypper dup" method. When I boot to level-3 then login as user, I can startx and I have my desktop. Where the GUI login screen usually is is just my mount pointer. I'm pretty sure I got rid of all the nvidia stuff. The nouveau kernel driver is loaded. #journalctl shows a problem but what do I do to fix it.

problem with install of openSUSE-Tumbleweed-DVD-x86_64-Snapshot20210916-Media.iso
by George R Goffe 24 Sep '21

24 Sep '21

Hi, I just got through the install of this iso. There is a problem though. I can not login. I think I'm using the right password but the tty(?) is behaving as though the typmatic keys are on steroids. When I type one character many characters appear, sometimes MANY MANY appear. I'm VERY new to Tumbleweed and do not know what to do. Can I get some help with this please? Best regards and STAY SAFE! George...

Multiple monitors in oS 15.3
by Roger Oberholtzer 23 Sep '21

23 Sep '21

We have generally had no trouble setting up multiple monitors on openSUSE. It has been working for quite a while. I have a oS 15.3 install with KDE and an intel GPU. On this computer, booting, say, 42,3 works perfect in this respect. However, on 15.3, the settings for multiple displays do not stay after logging out. All is always set back to just using the display in HDMI1. The other two on HDMI2 and HDMI3 are forgotten. I have to fiddle with the group and then the three displays are available for arrange. But all is gone after a logout/login. I see this bug: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=436648 Could this be what is happening here? I don't see a solution. But it sounds like it is in the same area. Does anyone else have an issue with multiple monitors (settings not remembered across logins) in oS 15.3 and KDE? -- Roger Oberholtzer

TW with kernel 5.14.5 can't detect Realtek network devices
by Ariez Vachha - openSUSE 23 Sep '21

23 Sep '21

Folks! Did the upgrade latest TW upgrade with kernel 5.14.5 - Does not recognise either my Ethernet or Wifi devices. I have used grub to boot back to Kernel: 5.14.2-1-default. "hwinfo --network" only returns the loopback!!! Waiting for Realtek r8168 Ethernet and rtw89pci Wifi modules on Sauerland hardware repo, but I wonder if this will work if the kernel can't even detect the HW. Anyone else had this problem? -- Regards, Ariez ajv(a)opensuse.org

replacing RAID drive
by George from the tribe 23 Sep '21

23 Sep '21

So I have had these 2 drives in RAID 1 configuration for 5 separate partitions on each drive. It was a holdover to previous linux versions - one of the partitions was an installation of opensuse 13.2! Well, one of the hard drives failed, putting all 5 RAIDed partitions into degraded status. So I thought, what the heck, these drives are 5 years old, I am just going to replace both hard drives instead of only the one that failed, and at the same time upgrade them from 1TB size to 2TB size since they are so cheap now. The challenge was, one of the RAID partitions was also my root partition. So I bought the 2 new drives, and took out the old failed drive, and started the process. My plan was to put in the new 2TB drive, partition it with 4 of the 5 partitions (I certainly don't need 13.2 anymore), hook them to the RAID arrays, wait until they sync, then reboot to check that it works. Reinstall grub on the new drive, then remove the 2nd old drive (the one that works), and reboot to check that I can boot up on the new drive, now with all 4 partitions running in degraded RAID configuration. Then, once that is verified to work, put in the 2nd new drive, partition it, add the new partitions to the RAID arrays, and then be back up and running. I ran into a bit of a problem on the way, though everything is finally resolved, but it raised a question I hope someone can answer. After I had connected the 1st new drive to the RAID arrays, I did this: - I went to a terminal and installed grub on the 1st new drive, - modified fstab to make sure all the appropriate partitions would be loaded and removed the calls to the older drive, - modified the mdadm.conf file to have it reflect only 4 RAID partitions instead of 5 which I had previously, - ran mkinitrd to get the raid configuration into the intial ramdisk So then I powered off, disconnected the 2nd older drive, and tried to boot up again. Once it got past grub, it ran into a problem and would only boot to emergency mode. In emergency mode, it only had a very small very basic system installed, so I couldn't do much of anything. In order to get my system up and running again, I had to use an installation USB, go to the rescue system, and run through the procedure to reinstall grub, which includes running mkinitrd and the grub configuration. After I did that, my system booted up fine and I was able to get the new RAID partitions fully working on both of my new drives. But I don't understand why I had to use the rescue system? Why wouldn't running mkinitrd from the operating system when the RAID configuration was half on the old drive and half on the new drive be good enough? I think I don't fully understand what I did here. -- 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

Q: Raspi / TW Fixed Headless Resolution
by Andrei Verovski 22 Sep '21

22 Sep '21

Hi, I installed Tumbleweed on Raspberry Pi 3 and so far was unable to setup fixed headless resolution. Using x0vncserver (time to time I also connect real monitor). With Debian Buster this worked fine (/boot/config.txt) hdmi_edid_file=1 hdmi_edid_filename:0=edid-1920x1080.bin "edid-1920x1080.bin" located on /boot partition. On Tumbleweed I had to add this in order to get signal on monitor: hdmi_force_hotplug=1 config_hdmi_boost=4 Instead of "/boot/config.txt" Tumbleweed uses “/boot/efi/extraconfig.txt” Copied "edid-1920x1080.bin” into both “/boot” and “/boot/efi”. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work. Also tried: hdmi_force_hotplug=1 hdmi_group=2 hdmi_mode=82 No success either. Anyone know how to to fix this? Thanks in advance. Andrei

TW - i2c permissions for normal users?
by Michael Hamilton 20 Sep '21

20 Sep '21

My i2c devices /dev/i2c-* are all set to 0660, yet non-root users logged into the desktop appear to have access. How is this achieved? Background: During a covid-19 lockdown I wrote vdu_controls, a GUI front end to ddcutil that I use to adjust the backlights on my external monitors: Ddcutil uses VESA DDC/MCCS over i2c to interact with external monitors. Details here: https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/559401-Desktop-control-of-extern… https://www.ddcutil.com/ I recently had an enquiry from someone attempting to use vdu_controls on a non-SUSE distro. Clearly their problem is lack of permissions to /dev/i2c-* On other distributions the permissions seem to be granted by an entry in /etc/udev/rules.d such as KERNEL=="i2c-[0-9]*", MODE="0666" ( https://www.ddcutil.com/i2c_permissions/ ). I can't find where anything similar is set in Tumbleweed. But ddcutil is working fine, so how it a normal user getting access to /dev/i2c-*? I suspect it's due to an apparmor rule, but I can't find it. Puzzled.

EROFS within CFEngine
by Ansgar Esztermann-Kirchner 16 Sep '21

16 Sep '21

Hello List, with one of the recent updates, CFEngine starts getting EROFS whenever it tries to write a file. Since writing works just fine from a shell, I assume this is the result of some security measure that isn't properly configured. Does anyone have an idea where to look?

Problem with software raid and Tumbleweed
by Markus Egg 15 Sep '21

15 Sep '21

Hello, I got Tumbleweed Snapshot20210115 and wanted to install it on a rather old machine with a software raid1 (UEFI raid). On this raid some Windows 10 is already existing. The installer of Tumbleweed Snapshot20210115 does not recognize this software raid1. It only shows single harddiscs and no raid volume. An older snapshot 20190704 is able to see that software raid1 but I cannot do any zypper dup with that one (this version was running previously before some hardware crash). Any help for that - either a snapshot which can handle software raid1 or some way to set zypper dup running again with the older snapshot? BR and thanks in advance Markus

I assume you only have 1 interface. If not, select the appropriate one. Then, in the long box "using this filter" enter ether host <MAC address>. Here's an example "ether host e0:37:17:cf:b7:52". Then, with the cursor in that long box, press Enter. You should now see the captures if printing is occurring. It will list both source and destination IP addresses. This is assuming there is no router between the computer and printer. What's this about Firefox? It has nothing to do with Wireshark.

Hi, all -- Now that I've moved out of my datacenter server, I have much less online mail space :-) I'd like to set up an IMAP server at home (15.2) so that we can get to the local archive copy.

printer--again
by Douglas McGarrett 09 Sep '21

09 Sep '21

Weird: after the lightning strike in July, I replaced an HP printer with a duplicate. The original was never installed in Leap, so I figured it's HP, it ought to be easy. No such luck. It even gave me its IP address. Leap can't see it. But it can ping it. BUT! Windows can see it but can''t install it! Windows can ping it also. Two machines, same problem. BUT! I installed Mint on a laptop, and it automatically found the HP and prints to it happily. Same lan, same router, etc. What could be going on? Ideas? --doug

for dup from 15.2, adding even those special 15.3 repos before? backports and SLE15updates repo?
by cagsm 08 Sep '21

08 Sep '21

Hello list, for a dup from 15.2 to 15.3, would it make sense or is it possible to even add those special 15.3 repos before? backports and SLE15updates repo? wondered when I dup an online connected 15.2 to 15.3, it misses all those many update/packages coming from those two special repos. when I look into what comes from via those repos, I notice such stuff as openssh, openssl and many more. meaning: an updated 15.2 to 15.3, initial reboot, such a system is highly attackable and insecure as it initially is missing all those many updates from those two very important repos. only from the then online 15.3 system can one use those two additional repos (which have then been added by the dup process) and show up in the rebooted online 15.3 system. then another round of zypper up is needed to make the system safe. am I missing something important here or is this an accepted situation and by design? ty.

filesystem and glibc update
by Roger Oberholtzer 07 Sep '21

07 Sep '21

A few months ago I did a zypper dup on my Tumbleweed system. This was when there were changes in where things were in /usr. It destroyed my system. So I reverted to a previous snapshot and decided to wait a bit to see if a later update might do better. I tried a new zypper dup yesterday, and the same issue happened. Luckily I was able to keep the messages this time. I searched a bit (google) and did not find anything about this. Like: https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/555033-Fixing-software-package-u… I realize that making a bug report is probably the next step. But given the dearth of existing ones, I am wondering what might be different on my system compared to what others are running. I get this when zypper is installing the rpm: ( 319/4386) Installing: filesystem-84.87-2.1.x86_64 .................................................................................................[error] Installation of filesystem-84.87-2.1.x86_64 failed: Error: Subprocess failed.

cockpit not config in tumbleweed
by Chuck Payne 05 Sep '21

05 Sep '21

Guys, Was hoping to get cockpit working in Tumbleweed, but when I went to enable it to run it I get this message systemctl enable cockpit The unit files have no installation config (WantedBy=, RequiredBy=, Also=, Alias= settings in the [Install] section, and DefaultInstance= for template units). This means they are not meant to be enabled using systemctl. Possible reasons for having this kind of units are: • A unit may be statically enabled by being symlinked from another unit's .wants/ or .requires/ directory. • A unit's purpose may be to act as a helper for some other unit which has a requirement dependency on it. • A unit may be started when needed via activation (socket, path, timer, D-Bus, udev, scripted systemctl call, ...). • In case of template units, the unit is meant to be enabled with some instance name specified. Cockpit is running on 9090, but when you log in, you get a white page. lycanthrope:/etc/cockpit # zypper search cockpit Loading repository data... Reading installed packages...

access windows partition
by Douglas McGarrett 31 Aug '21

31 Aug '21

I used to be able to access the windows partition and read/write to it. I have a very new win 10 version-- OS build 19041.1165 with experience pack 120.2212.3530.0. I have turned off the hibernate, as far as I can tell, but I still cannot access Windows. What am I dong wrong, or has MS "fixed" it? --doug

1-click install on remote server
by David T-G 30 Aug '21

30 Aug '21

Hi, all -- I have a desktop with KDE, and over in the closet I have a server. Conveniently, when I run yast2 in my xterm running an ssh session to the server, I get the YaST GUI up on my desktop screen; yay. But ... Is there a way to run the 1-click install remotely in much the same fashion? If I click on my desktop workstation, of course, it tries to install here, but I want it there. Can I download the 1-click content and run YaST on it, maybe? TIA & HAND :-D -- David T-G See http://justpickone.org/davidtg/email/ See http://justpickone.org/davidtg/tofu.txt

openSUSE 15.3 KDE & Polkit without root
by Ciro Iriarte 29 Aug '21

29 Aug '21

Hello!, I need to use VMware Remote Console in 15.3 with KDE with users that don't hold root password. Currently kdesu asks for the root password while launching it, if I cancel the prompt it starts fine so I assume it's related to optional features like USB devices access. The users accessing this machine cannot be given root, I can setup sudo at most if needed. Reading around found some references to polkit (I'm clueless about it) and changing the "elevation" method for kdesu from su to sudo in a user profile (I need it system wide). Can anyone provide some guidance on the best way to solve this? Regards, CI.-

cups print problem
by Istvan Gabor 28 Aug '21

28 Aug '21

Hello: This occurs in openSUSE Leap 15.1 with its default cups version (CUPS 2.2.7). I have a HP Laserjet P3015 printer attached to the computer via USB cable. The print queue setup is OK and many times printing occurs without any problem. But occasionally the printer completely freezes when I try to print something. I could not find out yet what causes the printer freezes. When the printer is frozen it doesn't print and even does not respond to any of its buttons. When this occurs the print job is halted and is stored in the print queue: > lpstat -o laserjet-3847 unknown 80896 Tue 10 Aug 2021 11:15:14 AM CEST > lpstat -p printer laserjet now printing laserjet-3847. enabled since Tue 10 Aug 2021 11:15:14 AM CEST Processing page 1... Here is my problem (apart from the printer freeze): If I restart (switch off and on) the printer, the print job is waiting quite long before printed. Eventually it gets printed but is takes several minutes. I would expect that after restarting the printer the print job is printed immediately. How could I achieve that? In /etc/cups/printers.conf file the ErrorPolicy is set to retry-job for the printer: <Printer laserjet> ... ErrorPolicy retry-job </Printer> Thanks in advance, Istvan

Thunderbird on 15.3
by Frans de Boer 28 Aug '21

28 Aug '21

LS, I am still using Leap 15.2 due to all the negative messages about 15.3. However, currently Thunderbird under 15.2 is now so old, that it won't work anymore with data processed under Tumbleweed (they used to share the same data directory - just to avoid double the data and maintenance effort). Has anybody experience with this setup using leap 15.3 and Tumbleweed? 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?

bad checksum file for openSUSE-Leap-15.3-DVD-x86_64-Current.iso
by Marc Chamberlin 28 Aug '21

28 Aug '21

Hello - Dunno if anyone cares to pay attention to a small detail but the sha256 checksum file at https://download.opensuse.org/distribution/leap/15.3/iso/openSUSE-Leap-15.3… references the wrong file. It is a small fix, just change the name to include the "Current" in the reference name since that is in the name of the associated iso download file. I didn't check but it might be wise to check other checksum files as well.

Videos no longer play
by James Knott 28 Aug '21

28 Aug '21

After updating to Leap 15.3, some videos stopped working. For example I can no longer play videos from CNN in Firefox, Seamonkey or Chromium, though I can in Edge. On the other hand, Youtube videos are fine. I have looked in Software Management for both codecs and mime for any clues, but nothing. Packman repository is enabled. This is with KDE. Any ideas? tnx jk

Thunderbird
by Douglas McGarrett 27 Aug '21

27 Aug '21

The other day Thunderbird went bananas again and refused to accept any password, old or new. Looking on Firefox, there is a "cure" for this problem, BUT IT ONLY WORKS IN WINDOWS! It will continue to work OK in Linux AFTER you open Windows and follow instructions: In Thunderbird: Options > Security > Passwords Click on Saved Passwords Click on Show Passwords There will be two lines--mailbox incoming and mailbox outgoing. Highlight these lines (must do one at a time) and click Remove Close > click on OK to save options. Close and reopen Thunderbird. It will prompt for a password--I think it has to be a new one. Once you have done the above, and opened T/B in Windows, you will be able to open it in Linux, using the same password you just entered in Windows. AFAIK, it will now work the same on any computer you have, in either system, but have not tried it yet. --doug

goodbye
by mcgarrett 27 Aug '21

27 Aug '21

After the lightning bolixed up all the computers, I bought a cheap refurb that had Windows10 Home on it. I decided to make a partition for OpenSUSE Leap 15.3. I used gparted to shrink windows and make a partition for Leap 15.3. I downloaded the latest version and installed it. It seems to have wiped out Windows and created for itself something that must be related to hell. Most of the apps that I could download and install on a version from last Fall are gone and unfindable, When I placed the few that I could find on the desktop, when I rebooted they were gone. So was Windows.The only thing I could do that remained was to get rid of the ugly stock desktop and replace it with something pleasant. I have used Linux for almost 20 years, and I really don't understand Windows, on a partially working machine, or want to, but I'm having to use it until I find a new Linux. WHAT HAVE YOU DONE? It's like KDE is GONE! The folks here on the mailing lists have been more than helpful to me, and I am grateful to them, but now I will have to find something--probably Mint with a KDE overlay--that I can live with. I will really miss the root version of Dolphin. Written from a badly damaged Windows computer (that has a usable Leap 15 on it) but still reads and sends mail on an ugly app from optimum.net. (Claws mail I never got to work.) --doug

dracut runs mkinitrd after simple application installation
by George from the tribe 25 Aug '21

25 Aug '21

I am running Tumbleweed on a new laptop and just ran into something interesting. I wanted to install gparted to use as a utility, and so after setting up the install, it looks like dracut ran my system through mkinitrd. Just curious as to why - I have both Gnome and KDE installed on my system, but I did not expect this. I don't think gparted executes anything that has to do with the boot sequence, right?

new type of drive designation
by George from the tribe 25 Aug '21

25 Aug '21

Hey... I just got a new laptop, and I am in the process of setting up opensuse on it. For the moment it has tumbleweed, but I plan to set it up with 15.3. One thing I noticed is that the new hard drive nomenclature, or whatever you should call it, is different from what I am used to in the past. In the past the drives would be /dev/sda, /dev/sdb, etc. In this one, if I plug in a USB stick, the drive letter is /dev/sda. However, the NVMe SDD that I put in it was given the designation /dev/nvme0n1, with each partition being /dev/nvme0n1p1, /dev/nvme0n1p2, etc. This is the first time I have had an NVMe SSD, but when I set up the partitions for the install, I didn't know that it would give it these kinds of letters. I am just curious as to what the reason was behind the decision to change the way drives are designated if they are NVMe, and if any other changes like that have been made? -- 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: 15.2 | Plasma 5 | Core i5 | 64 | 8GB

Avatars in LDAP & SDDM

hum

I have a Logitech sound system on the machine. It has very giid bass response. When I'm using YouTube, sound is fine. When I'm not viewing anything and YouTube is not active--i.e., from a fresh boot, or any other time, in general--there is a hum from the speaker system. Is there a fix for that? --doug

heat sink for m.2 form drive
by George from the tribe 23 Aug '21

23 Aug '21

I have just purchased this NVMe SSD to replace the stock SSD for my new laptop. One thing that stood out when I switched it in was that the stock m.2 NVMe SSD has like this dark grey silverish looking tape around it. I assume that is for heat dissipation. I couldn't find anything quite like that on line for the new SSD, so I purchased a kit that has a blue heat conducting silica gel pad and a copper plate that you put over each side, all in the m.2 size. I found a youtube video that showed the difference in heat on a chip with and without heat sink pads (not the same kind as I bought), and the difference was remarkable. One drawback I see is the copper plate being stuck there in the middle of my laptop, with pretty tight tolerances, and I am wondering if I should just stick with the silica gel pad. Anyone else have any experience with using these things? Any suggestions on how to proceed? I haven't installed the heat sinks yet - waiting to find out what others might have done. Right now the new drive is sitting there in the laptop without any heat sink on it. -- 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: 15.2 | Plasma 5 | Core i5 | 64 | 8GB

live usb stick with gnome
by George from the tribe 22 Aug '21

22 Aug '21

Could someone point me to where I can download an image to create a live USB stick in order to test run the latest distro? Specifically I want to see if I can test run the gnome desktop on both 15.3 and tumbleweed. I found this link: http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/leap/15.3/iso/ but I can't figure out which iso on that would be the right one. I remember a long time ago you used to be able to specifically download a live usb iso, but I haven't seen that on any of the opensuse websites lately. Thanks :)

getting a replacement drive
by George from the tribe 16 Aug '21

16 Aug '21

I have just bought an ASUS Zenbook flip s, refurbished, and the storage it says it has on the specs is a 1TB PCIe NVMe M.2 SSD. It is supposed to arrive in a couple of days. When I get it, I am thinking of taking the existing drive out and replacing it with a blank 1TB PCIe NVMe M.2 SSD, and then installing openSUSE on that, and not having Windows at all, no dual boot, pure Linux. That way if there is a hardware problem, I can put the original it came with back in and send it in on warranty, and they can't say anything. After the warranty runs out I will have an extra drive. It's a bit of an extra expense, but probably worth it to me. So as I am looking at the various 1TB drives available with the M.2 form factor, I see several options. Some say V-NAND technology, others say 3D NAND, and some say speeds up to 3470 MB/sec and others 2400 MB/sec, and others don't mention speeds. In general I would prefer higher speed, if the other hardware on my new flipbook would support it. But I was wondering if anyone has some experience in buying a replacement drive like this for a laptop or 2-in-1 with the form factor M.2, and if you might have any suggestions on what I should look for. -- 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: 15.2 | Plasma 5 | Core i5 | 64 | 8GB

kscreen options on tumbleweed
by jdd＠dodin.org 14 Aug '21

14 Aug '21

Hello, Tumbleweed user :-) I ask you because I have no TW at hand :-( (I work with Leap). Multi monitor, intel driver. in the kscreen menu (something like kde setup, screen), with the grafical way to set up several screens, can you set a scale below 10%? that is for example 50%? (no need to test the feature, I only need to know if it's available) this gives smaller content on same full screen. Presently, on Leap, I have to make tricks to get this result, but I just notice that Fedora (just installed) allows this natively. thanks for help jdd -- http://dodin.org

setup HP 2755 wireless (only!) printer--how
by Douglas McGarrett 09 Aug '21

09 Aug '21

Bought an HP printer to act as backup, but can't figure out how to install it in Linux. I didn't realize it would be wireless ONLY! (And I thought HP was foolproof!) The Yast installer can't find it. I went thru the Windows setup routine when I got it, to make sure the wireless crap works, and it does, with the wireless/wired router. Printer is DeskJet 2755e. Somewhere along the line I asked whether the printer was compatible with Linux, and was told it is, but their install routine only mentions Windows and Mac, as usual. YaST can't find it. I'd probably have a hard time returning it, since it was encased in form-fitting plastic! If it's any help, nmap shows an unknown device. This is definitely the printer, since it no longer responds if I turn it off. Nmap scan report for 192.168.0.103 Host is up (0.0043s latency). MAC Address: 14:CB:19:62:68:71 (Unknown) Will try and call HP on Monday, but experience tells me that whoever I get will know nothing about Linux. Any HP wireless guru out there? --doug

Discount Electronics
by Douglas McGarrett 07 Aug '21

07 Aug '21

I had initiated what became a long series of messages re failure of nmap, and failure of other basic system commands on a refurb Dell Optiplex 780 computer obtained from Discount Electronics. It turns out that this computer--maybe all Dells of that 8-year-old vintage--contains a setup system which defines the way that the computer can be used, regarding bootup source, and various things, some of which are not visible, having been deliberately hidden by that very same setup function. This was probably a reasonable approach for the commercial office use it was refurbed from. It is designed to keep a user from messing with the way the computer performed. A lot of features which are visible during boot are not reachable by any means, at least by me, and apparently by a man named Joe at Discount Electronics. The computer even has a means of applying a padlock so that it cannot be opened up by a user! During an interchange with Joe, I told him that unless he can tell me how to remove the nanny functions, I would return the computer for refund. He told me that the company does not take back units for refund, only for the sale of a newer computer. This was to be only an interim machine, since all my computers were damaged by lightning. Now I will return it to Windows and donate it. I am fortunately financially able to do that. But I am writing to warn anyone contemplating a purchase from Discount Electronics, DON'T! If you intend to run Linux--as I'm sure all readers here do--then don't purchase from Discount Electronics. And make sure you get a written promise that you will be allowed to return for refund if the machine you purchase (somewhere else!) is not suitable. (For myself, I have come up with an HP laptop on which I will try and run Linux--HP says no problem, but I haven't tried it yet. I have to say that for a machine that originally ran Windows 7, it is impressive with Win 10 on it.) --doug

My desktop is a Optiplex 755 tower. It was just over C$100 from a local discount vendor with delivery, so in the same price range as yours. Yes it has that extensive setup menus, but being used to Sony camera setup menus this was a no-brainer for me, but I find it perfectly adequate. This model has no provision for external locks. Yes it runs openSUSE. The 755 was recommended to me by a friend who has five of them and a 780 as well. (I don't ask what he does with them!) > I can't stand HPE or Lenovo Hardware. I have mixed feelings. While Doug may depreciate a store of that name I have no problems with discount refurbished electronics in general. -- “Reality is so complex, we must move away from dogma, whether it’s conspiracy theories or free-market,” -- James Glattfelder. http://jth.ch/jbg

Cannot start apache2 on 15.3 (Unit tmp.mount is masked)
by Stratos Zolotas 06 Aug '21

06 Aug '21

Hello, After a hdd failure, I started to rebuild my home server with 15.3 from scratch. I have only enabled ssh and tried to start apache2 after installing it with zypper in apache2 When I try to do systemctl start apache2, I'm getting the following message: Failed to start apache2.service: Unit tmp.mount is masked. This is a clean install no configuration change, just first start of apache after installation. The only catch is that /srv is on an lvm volume (with ext4), everything else in on single disk with btrfs (default install) If I try to run systemctl unmask tmp.mount on the next try to start apache I get Failed to start apache2.service: Unit var.mount is masked. Unmasking var.mount also doesn't work because on next try I get again the tmp.mount masked error. On 15.2 I didnd't had that issue. Am I missing something? Kind regards Stratos

unsinged sha256 hashsum files for leap 15.3? why?
by cagsm 04 Aug '21

04 Aug '21

hello list, just came across when trying to download leap 15.3 iso bits, that the most or all of the .sha256 files are unsigned simple text files only. i still remember these sha256 files being some kind of pgp gpg wrapped textfiles with the suse project signing them for legitimacy. am i mistaken? also the main opensuse.org download page and area speaks exactly about verifying the bits and the full length pgp gpg fingerprint for that signing key one should be verifying. <https://get.opensuse.org/leap#download> ----------------- Verify Your Download Before Use Many applications can verify the checksum of a download. To verify your download can be important as it verifies you really have got the ISO file you wanted to download and not some broken version.

KDE3 ARK displaying messed up timestamp for files in ZIP archive.
by Alec Destry 03 Aug '21

03 Aug '21

Unzip, some years ago, when listing files in an archive, showed the timestamp for those files in the format of MM-DD-YY. Now, unzip, when listing files in an archive, shows the timestamp for those files in the format of YYYY-MM-DD. This change in how unzip shows timestamps has caused KDE3 ARK to show a messed up timestamp when viewing a ZIP archive. Are there any plans to fix this? Has this already been fixed in some version of kdeutils3-*x86_64.rpm that I haven't been able to find, even though I've checked many kdeutils3-*x86_64.rpm packages going up to opensuse 15.3? Alternatively, since one fix is simply adding statements to the C source for ARK to convert unzip's new timestamp of YYYY-MM-DD to the old format of MM-DD-YY before letting the rest of ARK's C source process that, but also keeping in mind that I have no clue where to find that C source code for ARK since I've had zero involvement in any KDE3 development and therefore have no familiarity with how anything is structured or what the labels mean, could someone point me to the exact C source for ARK where it processes the unzip timestamps, so that I can fix ARK myself.

old HP printer
by mcgarrett 03 Aug '21

03 Aug '21

With great difficulty, I think I've found one or more ppd files for an HP Laser 2200D. They're all for various old versions of Windows. Will any of them work in Leap? Trying to get some kind of printer going until I recover from the lightning strike, and I'm pretty sure this boat anchor still works. One example is this: LaserJet USB (DOT4) communication driver for HP LaserJet 2200d This driver only solution provides DOT4 USB bi-directional communication functionality on Windows 8 and higher operating systems. Thanx--doug

Well, I'm back. Have an older computer to tide me over the lightning problem. Still have the unanswered question: How to install an rpm file which does not download, but is listed on the website shown in the subject line. I'm sure that this is absurdly simple for mindreaders, but I'm not one of them. And yes, I have looked at chapter 10 of the https://opensuse.org/documentation/leap/startup. . .but I don't see the answer there. (On another post, I will ask how to read my much earlier posts (and answers) about setting up a printer which is not automatically found by the system. Or an answer here to that also would be appreciated. When you answer question 1, I will print the answer and save it, when the printer is installed.) Thank you for your patience with an old geezer. --doug

Built in NTP server addresses?
by James Knott 02 Aug '21

02 Aug '21

While monitoring NTP with Wireshark, I could see requests going out to the Internet, as well as to my local server. However, only my local server has been configured for use. Why is it going out to the net? Are there built in server names? Here are a couple of examples: jknott@linux:~> host 209.115.181.106 106.181.115.209.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer mirrors.switch.ca. jknott@linux:~> host 2606:4700:f1::123 3.2.1.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.1.f.0.0.0.0.7.4.6.0.6.2.ip6.arpa domain name pointer time.cloudflare.com. I have never configured those servers on anything I've worked on. I'm running Leap 15.3.

lastlog permissions
by Ansgar Esztermann-Kirchner 02 Aug '21

02 Aug '21

Hello List, for quite some time, I've noticed that the permissions and group of /var/log/lastlog (and sometimes a few others, like [bw]tmp) differ from what chkstat expects. This is, of course, easily fixed with chmod and chown, but the old permissions tend to re-appear after zypper updates. It's probably not really a problem, but does anyone know where the diffence comes from? Thanks, A. -- Ansgar Esztermann Sysadmin Dep.

Trouble with the touchpad while typing
by Carlos E. R. 01 Aug '21

01 Aug '21

Hi, I have Trouble with the touchpad while I type, almost since ever, currently with XFCE in Leap 15.2. The touchpad activates randomly, apparently touched by my hand and destroys what I typed. I have in settings "Disable touch pad while typing" set to 2 seconds. Type "SynPS/2 Synaptics Touchpad". Edge scrolling. This is supposed to impede the trouble I have, but it does not. If I type and I try to move the mouse pointer it doesn't respond till two seconds have passed, which is a nuisance I would accept if it worked. There are two types of incidents. One, the cursor location suddenly moves several paragraphs up in the middle of typing a word, thus within centiseconds. Certainly inside the 2 seconds protection. Two, a large portion of the text I'm typing suddenly gets selected, again in the middle of typing a word (I type fast), so that on the next letter I type the entire highlight gets replaced with that next letter, erasing at times all my work. In the first case, I can select the offending text and move it to the correct location, or hit undo. In the second case, I have to use undo, so I don't actually lose my work. Almost always it happens inside Thunderbird. At least, i don't remember it happening in other apps. It is possible that the protection I need is from accidental tap, not accidental move. minas-tirith:~ # hwinfo --mouse 40: PS/2 00.0: 10500 PS/2 Mouse [Created at input.249] Unique ID: AH6Q.ZHI3OT7LsxA Hardware Class: mouse Model: "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" Vendor: 0x0002 Device: 0x0007 "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" Compatible to: int 0x0210 0x0002 Device File: /dev/input/mice (/dev/input/mouse0) Device Files: /dev/input/mice, /dev/input/mouse0, /dev/input/event1 Device Number: char 13:63 (char 13:32) Driver Info #0: Buttons: 2 Wheels: 0 XFree86 Protocol: explorerps/2 GPM Protocol: exps2 Config Status: cfg=no, avail=yes, need=no, active=unknown minas-tirith:~ # -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.

Evergreen, where has the Long Term Support gone...
by Chuck Payne 30 Jul '21

30 Jul '21

Good morning, So, question. We use to have Evergreen which was going to be our LTS version, so that when a distro reached the magical .3 in the release, we could switch to Evergreen. I haven't seen anything on it in while, has Evergreen stopped? Do we not have any LTS version? I am switching a lot of systems from openSUSE 42.3 to 15.3, and I am saddened by the number of software packages that seem to have been removed. One of the reasons I started using SuSE back in the day was, it had the most packages, which was awesome. Here is an example, Nginx has a log of module packages that are no longer there. Oh, please don't tell me to go too software.opensuse.org, is great only if people keep their software up-to-date. I don't know how many packages I have found only to get that it going to do break major things. Even Tumbleweed seems to be losing packages. Did I miss something? By the way, I did try to sent this to opensuse-project(a)opensuse.org, but got a bonus back fromn election-official-ower(a)list.opensuse.org, so not sure what is up with that. -- Terror PUP a.k.a Chuck "PUP" Payne ----------------------------------------- Discover it!

plasma windows setup
by jdd＠dodin.org 29 Jul '21

Hello, I just buy a 4k screen. Now my most usual setup is 27" 4k left, full HD (laptop) center and full hd right. The new screen should be used only for video editing, not always. But my usual setup is completely changed by the new screen: even the cursor size is changed (much bigger). I use the "supplementary action" from kde to open my main applications on the desktop I want (I have 10 of them), but fail to find a way to have all my applications open in the "main" screen (as setup in the kde panel), because the x coordinate changes any hint? thanks NB: I still use 15.1, for some reason I can't make my system works as expected in 15.3 jdd -- http://dodin.org

please help: did I just ruin my ssd? mkfs.ext4: invalid blocks
by Daniel Bauer 27 Jul '21

27 Jul '21

Hello, I have a new ssd, I encrypted a partition and installed reiserfs (did that on my 15.1 system). Plugging it to my pad with 15.3 I saw that it canot handel it, and searching I found that Opensuse decided to make my backups worthless. So I plugged it again to the 15.1. used fdisk to delete the partition. made a new partition in fdisk. Wet to yast, clicked to istall an encrypted ext4 system. As after the last click the window disappeared without further notice I assumend it was done and unplugged the ssd. Received a nice message, that a process was iterrupted (and I thanked a lot to the highly itelligent programmer who closes a window without any hint about a still running process...). Ok, wanted to repeat. But Yast says it cannot istall ext4 because some cr_xxx is already here. So again fdisk, delete partition, make a new one, back to Yast, same error. So I wet the manual way (the ssd partition is sdg1): dd_rescue -m 2M /dev/urandom /dev/sdg1 cryptsetup -v --key-size 256 luksFormat /dev/sdg1 my_cryptkey-file cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sdg1 cr_sdg1 mkfs.ext4 /dev/mapper/cr_sdg1 /dev/mapper/cr_sdg1 here I get: mkfs.ext4: invalid blocks '/dev/mapper/cr_sdg1' on device '/dev/mapper/cr_sdg1' Did I do an error? How can I get my ssd back into a virgin state, to begin from scratch? I need urgent help, because I go to travel tomorrow and must take those ssd with me, working on 15.3...

OT(?): viewing virtualbox or qemu VM on another host
by David T-G 23 Jul '21

23 Jul '21

Hi, all -- This is probably a VM-ish question rather than a SuSE-ish question, but since I'm running OpenSuSE I figured I could ask here to get started :-) I want to create a VM on host X and view it from my host Y desktop. All of the examples I've seen show someone working locally. Can either of these tools support running the VM "there" but viewing and interacting with it "here"? If not, is there another simple and free hypervisor that will fill the bill? I'm not particularly in love with either, not least since I have no experience; they just seem to be at the top of everyone's "virtualization for dummies" lists. I just want to run a few simple VMs, but I have neither the disk space nor the extra RAM on my little desktop to do so -- and I don't particularly want to have to get up and go to the coat^Wserver closet any time I have to access them.

I guess the lightning got me this time. YAST message: An error occurred during repository initialization.

Is this fixable or must I reinstall the whole system? Agh! --doug

video rotation
by jdd＠dodin.org 19 Jul '21

19 Jul '21

Hello, When, I use my smartphone (Xiaomi Redmi Notes 9S) vertically, the resulting video file have an internal tag "rotation" that validates this orientation. but often, beginning and ending of the video are unusable (for example wrong orientation at the beginning corrected after some seconds), so I have to cut the bad part. I use avidemux in copy mode, extremely fast. but (2) avidemux remove the rotation tag and the resulting video is now horizontal I know how to rotate a video with handbrake or ffmpeg, but with recoding, long and quality loss prone. How can I just keep the rotation tag or add it to the final video? THANKS JDD -- http://dodin.org

Firefox refuses to open some links, some times.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Firefox refuses to open some links, some times. I try to open this link I got on an email - it happens with several sites, this is just an example. https://youtu.be/qkZDn9O954U Nothing opens. I close the tab, open another tab, try again. I get a popup - see attached photo. If I clicl on "open with firefox", then I get the youtube page, but the video doesn't load - after all, it is a local file "file:///tmp/mozilla_cer0/watch" of html type. After opening a new tab several times and pasting the link, finally it opens. I am using UBlock, but also happens with Add Block Plus, or if I click disable on the current page. Most times it simply works, but a few times I hit a link that FF simply refuses to open, no message. Using Leap 15.2 and stock FF. - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.

The right wing boss of Madrid closes down 2141 hospital beds till October first, while patients in the waiting list has increased in 13000 people. I told you. The right wing intentionally makes the health service works badly. Then they create private hospitals instead. https://www.elsaltodiario.com/coronavirus/ayuso-cierra-mas-de-2000-camas-es… Meanwhile, Madrid is vaccinating 24 hours a day. Yes, nights too. They have a million vaccines not used. And, they are going to use private companies next to inject them. They are that inept. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from openSUSE 15.2 (Legolas))

I kind of already feel the next faily stages and procedures and situations incoming for 15.4 over again. I have not yet dared and attampted to upgrade my 15.2 systems so far, when this very simple and most basic 15.2 test system expressed so many woes and bugs with the upgrade to 15.3 already :( ty

AFAICT, XFCE uses GTK and I see GTK Wayland libraries installed. I'm currently using LightDM. What Display Manager would allow me to try out Wayland with XFCE? TIA, Jeffrey

Cannot start KDE
by Wolfgang Mueller 12 Jul '21

12 Jul '21

On my new HP 15s-eq2147, because of the lack of an ethernet connection, installing Leap 15.3 from openSUSE-Leap-15.3-NET-x86_64.iso was impossible. So, I had to use openSUSE-Leap-15.3-DVD-x86_64.iso, which does not use internet repositories. Installing was easy and much faster than from the net, but at the end, KDE did not appear. Pressing F7 shows a black screen only. Then I tried "startx", but in vain. I have stored the output on http://ariannuccia.de/temp/startx.txt and the content of ~/.local/share/xorg/Xorg.0.log on http://ariannuccia.de/temp/Xorg.0.log. Please have a look at these two files. Do they contain information for correcting the KDE implementation? Meanwhile I have access to the internet, thanks to Stephan Hemeier's rtw88-kmp-default-git20210702_k5.3.18_57-lp153.2.2.x86_64.rpm, but I don't know which package to install for making KDE run. Thanks in advance, Wolfgang
