[opensuse-support] Cannot complete registration with openSUSEforums
by JigsTheorem 13 Jun '20

13 Jun '20

Hi all I have a problem with Leap 15.1 and went to sign up with openSUSE forums. I received a validation email, which contained neatly ordered garbage but no validation code. The sender of this email is the webmaster from microfocus, but an email to that address just bounces. I have since discovered that openSUSE and microfocus are no longer associated. So, given that the validation process is broken, how do I get signed up to the forums?

[opensuse-support] data moving tuning
by David T-G 30 Oct '19

30 Oct '19

Hi, all -- I am building a system for fast transfer of video files from MicroSD cards, and I am looking for tunables advice. It will also be my everyday desktop, since I can't afford two machines, but its primary mission is to move data fast. My plan is to use 15.1 and, without starting another religious war :-) and after the convenient recent file system discussion, leave my beloved ReiserFS to use XFS for the large data partition. The box has a single Ryzen CPU, an m.2 SSD, 16G of RAM that I will bump to 32G as soon as funding permits, 10 gigabit motherboard USB, and a second 10 gigabit USB daughter card. I'm limited to this hardware by budget, so there isn't much else that I can do there, but I wonder about parameters and settings in the OS or perhaps the file system config. Are there any knobs to turn to speed moving data across the bus? Is there a better version or even -- gasp -- a better flavor for this kind of work? Any suggestions in general?

[opensuse-support] Failed to reset fd limit
by Peter Suetterlin 27 Sep '19

27 Sep '19

Hi, my system logfiles contain lots of messages Failed to reset fd limit before activating service: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied: Failed to restore old fd limit: Operation not permitted It's both service org.opensuse.Snapper and org.kde.powerdevil.backlighthelper triggering that message. What is it, why is it there, and is it a problem?

[opensuse-support] Download.opensuse.org down? 403 Forbidden errors
by Rodney Baker 25 Sep '19

25 Sep '19

Hii all - is there a problem with download.opensuse.org again? I keep getting 403 Forbidden errors when attempting to access anything at or below that url. Software.opensuse.org is OK. The status page suggests everything is operational, so maybe it hasn't been logged yet? Tried both firefox and chrome, just in case it was a brower issue.

[opensuse-support] Tumbleweed update through software updates applet
by Guadagnino Cristiano 20 Sep '19

20 Sep '19

Hi all, until recently we were supposed to update Tumbleweed only by using "zypper dup" from the CLI. Now the Software Updates applet has been updated to support Tumbleweed too, so it should do The Right Thing. I've always felt uncomfortable using the applet, but today I decided to give it a spin. After the update, the applet presented me immediately with another batch of updates, which I found unusual. So I checked by using the usual "zypper dup", which found no updates. After a bit of investigation, I found the reason: I have configured zypper not to offer updates when the update would imply a change of vendors (allowVendorChange = false which BTW should be the default IIRC). The applet does not follow the same criteria, so it offers the updates nevertheless. I think this is not desirable; shouldn't it be better to let the applet follow the same configuration as zypper? Best regards Cris

what has happened to Tumbleweed nfs? cannot run "yast nfs", complains These packages need to be installed: nfsidmap but there is no nfsidmap, only nfsidmap-devel /usr/sbin/nfsidmap exists from nfs-client systemctl restart nfs Failed to restart nfs.service: Unit nfs.service not found. indeed, there is no /usr/lib/systemd/system/nfs.service, but: ls -la /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/nfs.service yields: /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/nfs.service -> /usr/lib/systemd/system/nfs.service rpm -ql /usr/lib/systemd/system/nfs.service package /usr/lib/systemd/system/nfs.service is not installed rpm -ql /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/nfs.service package /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/nfs.service is not installed -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-support] Tumbleweed - Plasma desktop shows english/german language mix
by Hagen Buliwyf 15 Sep '19

15 Sep '19

Dear list readers, it's me again. As described in this post https://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-support/2019-09/msg00048.html i installed Tumbleweed with disabled "Install recommended packages"-option right from the beginning. With your help i finally succeeded to login to a plasma session successfully. But - although i changed (on the very first screen of the installer) the language the system should be installed in to "German" - my system presents a really bizarre mix of german/english, e.g.: When i press the right mouse button on the KDE starter button i get this menu Edit Applications (German: "Menüeinträge bearbeiten") Configure Anwendungsmenü (German: "Anwendungsmenü einrichten ...) Show Alternatives (German: "Alternativen bearbeiten) Kontrollleiste Options (German: "Kontrollleiste-Optionen") Similar effects can be seen in many applications as well. So my question are: The language selection is the very first decision to make in the installer. Even if the user decides NOT to install recommended packages, shouldn't all language packages required for the installed packages being installed as well? I have checked my package list in yast and for every installed package i installed the corresponding -lang package (if there was one). Still i have that language mix (e.g. in dolphin the menu is in english some submenus are in german others a mix of both languages). What additional package(s) must i install to get a desktop completely in german? (-lang-packages should be installed for every installed package!)

[opensuse-support] Tumbleweed - no graphical desktop when installing without recommended
by Hagen Buliwyf 15 Sep '19

15 Sep '19

Dear list readers, today i installed openSUSE Tumbleweed20190824-0 on this machine: Intel® Core™ i7-4790K CPU @ 4.00GHz Memory: 31,3 GiB Intel Xeon E3-1200 v3/4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller Samsung SSD 850 PRO 256GB (pre-partitioned with GPT, pre-formatted but otherwise empty) This is where i changed the defaults of the installer Language + Keyboard Layout: German Network Settings: skipped System Role: Desktop with KDE Plasma Expert Partitioner - Start with existing Partitions => ESP (fat32), /(ext4), home(ext4) Clock and TimeZone: no changes made Local User: created with Automatic Login and Use this password for system Administrator both disabled Authentification for System Administrator: provided Installer Settings: selected Software Software Selection and System Tasks: selcted Details... on next screen: selected menu item Dependencies and disabled Install recommended packages pressed Accept and got presented with a list of packages to be installed pressed OK and was back to Installer Settings pressed Install On reboot i was presented with a commandline login. journalctl -b0 -p3 showed no errors except Couldn't get size: 0x80...0e + MODSIGN: Couldn't get UEFI db list (i see these errors on other openSUSE systems where they do no harm) Yast2 shows X is installed startkde gives $DISPLAY not set or cannot connect to the X server startx fails with command not found hwinfo --gfxcard says i915 is active lsmod shows i915 is loaded So my question is Is an installation without recommended packages by definition an installation without graphical desktop or did i make a mistake while installing? Which packages do i need to install (however, i would not like to install all recommended packages)? Thank you very much for your help.
