I gave up long ago trying to use the susepaste website other than to view existing pastes. Similarly, I found the susepaste command to be cantankerous and picky going back for years, making me think its host's upload functionality simply doesn't run on a 24/7 basis. More recently I have found it fairly reliable, as long as the upload size and/or expires are not too large, and quotes are used for *all* cmdline option strings, exactly as demonstrated in its man page examples.
Ok, thanks for your insight into this. I have been confused about this for some time actually. Is it acceptable to attach the strace.log file to a message in Thunderbird or is that not a good way? What do you think I should do about this situation?
First, strip .log out of the file name if that's how it ends. Instead of its original name, change its end to log.txt or just .txt. Then try the susepaste command again strictly using the bottom of man page examples, using at least a week long expires. If it fails again, double check your quoting and try again. If it still fails, wait 10 hours and try again, and if that too fails, try compressing the log into an archive, and attach the archive to a list reply mail.
Hi, that looks like great advice although I am receiving no joy from following it yet here. I understand that 10 hours has not passed yet. Please see below for my most likely incorrect susepaste command passings: Thinkcentre-M57p:/tmp> ls -lah total 23M drwxrwxrwt 14 root root 460 Jan 31 17:05 . drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 142 Jun 3 2021 .. drwxrwxrwt 2 root root 40 Jan 31 00:24 .font-unix drwxrwxrwt 2 root root 60 Jan 31 00:25 .ICE-unix -rw-r--r-- 1 paul paul 108 Jan 31 14:40 keepassxc-paul.lock srwx------ 1 paul paul 0 Jan 31 14:40 keepassxc-paul.socket drwx------ 2 paul paul 40 Jan 31 00:25 plasma-csd-generator.pqVjDO -rw-r----- 1 paul paul 0 Jan 31 00:25 qipc_sharedmemory_QsynthpaulpaulThinkcentreMpd29f10059f45e91e7d7e0499ae5d69f4aaf3d93a -rw-r----- 1 paul paul 0 Jan 31 00:25 qipc_systemsem_QsynthpaulpaulThinkcentreMpd29f10059f45e91e7d7e0499ae5d69f4aaf3d93a srwx------ 1 paul paul 0 Jan 31 00:25 Qsynth:paul@paul-Thinkcentre-M57p srwx------ 1 sddm sddm 0 Jan 31 00:25 sddm-:0-NrqKTx srwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0 Jan 31 00:25 sddm-auth-d52d421d-dd11-4f62-b549-9ee0c84be0be -rw-r--r-- 1 paul paul 23M Jan 31 14:30 strace..txt drwx------ 3 root root 60 Jan 31 00:24 systemd-private-4d5bbf9c425b492b82d34750a40f5b0b-chronyd.service-ZHg9nZ drwx------ 3 root root 60 Jan 31 00:24 systemd-private-4d5bbf9c425b492b82d34750a40f5b0b-ModemManager.service-EseIuy drwx------ 3 root root 60 Jan 31 00:24 systemd-private-4d5bbf9c425b492b82d34750a40f5b0b-polkit.service-6kPzLI drwx------ 3 root root 60 Jan 31 00:25 systemd-private-4d5bbf9c425b492b82d34750a40f5b0b-power-profiles-daemon.service-ciy43Q drwx------ 3 root root 60 Jan 31 00:24 systemd-private-4d5bbf9c425b492b82d34750a40f5b0b-systemd-logind.service-WqYU8O drwx------ 3 root root 60 Jan 31 00:25 systemd-private-4d5bbf9c425b492b82d34750a40f5b0b-upower.service-KsIIQu drwx------ 2 paul paul 40 Jan 31 00:25 Temp-b9ec1e10-03dc-4b05-b5e2-0f9259ab2ad4 drwxrwxrwt 2 root root 60 Jan 31 00:25 .X11-unix -rw------- 1 paul paul 111 Jan 31 00:25 xauth_YgTfbj drwxrwxrwt 2 root root 40 Jan 31 00:24 .XIM-unix strace.txt is 23M size.
