[opensuse-support] Cannot complete registration with openSUSEforums

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] Plasma5/kscreen losing primary resolution under Leap 15.1
by Daniel Morris 11 Jun '20

11 Jun '20

Can anyone suggest how to debug and lock my monitor configuration? I've recently bought a great AOC Q3279VWFD8 monitor to work from home (no prizes for guessing why), which can be driven at 2580x1440 @75Hz via DisplayPort from onboard Intel graphics (Core i5-2500K) with an H67M-GE/HT motherboard. Most time the monitor sleeps it wakes up at a lower resolution (typically 1920x1080, but 1024x768 for extra annoyance). Occasionally I can reconfigure it back up with System Settings -> Display & Monitor. Often I have to repeatedly trick it by powering the monitor off and on, and sometimes it can then be stepped back up to 2580x1440. Often it gets stuck at something like 1920x1080 @ 30Hz. Options are restarting Plasma or letting it go to sleep and reconfigure (not guaranteed). Looking in the journal I can find references to: kdeinit5[6968]: kscreen: Requesting missing EDID for outputs (66, 70) org_kde_powerdevil[7047]: kscreen: Requesting missing EDID for outputs (66, 70) systemsettings5[5381]: kscreen: Requesting missing EDID for outputs (66, 70) As an aside, I have a second monitor 1920x1080 to the right, via HDMI. According to the manual my motherboard will only support two outputs (of the four). The second monitor is only needed a few times a week when puzzling over accounts/spreadsheets. I've read around and the various conflicting advice and trails for multi-monitor & Plasma issues go back years. I'm at a bit of a loss to know which bit of behind the scenes magic is going wrong, as I haven't had to concern myself with this kind of setup since the CRT days! I suspect the monitor isn't replying in time with its capabilities. Here's the xrandr output (listing modes) from it working nicely: $ xrandr Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 4664 x 1588, maximum 8192 x 8192 VGA-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) HDMI-1 connected 1920x1080+2744+508 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 598mm x 336mm 1920x1080 60.00*+ 1680x1050 59.88 1280x1024 75.02 60.02 1440x900 59.90 1280x960 60.00 1280x800 59.91 1152x864 75.00 1280x720 60.00 1024x768 75.03 70.07 60.00 832x624 74.55 800x600 72.19 75.00 60.32 56.25 640x480 75.00 72.81 66.67 59.94 720x400 70.08 DP-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) HDMI-2 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) HDMI-3 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) DP-2 connected primary 2560x1440+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 725mm x 428mm 2560x1440 59.95 + 74.97* 1920x1080 60.00 60.00 50.00 59.94 1920x1080i 60.00 50.00 59.94 1280x1440 59.91 1680x1050 59.95 1280x1024 75.02 60.02 1440x900 59.89 1280x960 60.00 1280x720 60.00 60.00 50.00 59.94 1024x768 75.03 70.07 60.00 832x624 74.55 800x600 72.19 75.00 60.32 56.25 720x576 50.00 50.00 50.00 720x480 60.00 60.00 59.94 59.94 59.94 640x480 75.00 72.81 66.67 60.00 59.94 59.94 720x400 70.08 2560x1440_74.97 74.89 DP-3 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) And here's xrandr output when not working nicely: $ xrandr Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 4664 x 1588, maximum 8192 x 8192 VGA-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) HDMI-1 connected 1920x1080+2744+508 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 598mm x 336mm 1920x1080 60.00*+ 1680x1050 59.88 1280x1024 75.02 60.02 1440x900 59.90 1280x960 60.00 1280x800 59.91 1152x864 75.00 1280x720 60.00 1024x768 75.03 70.07 60.00 832x624 74.55 800x600 72.19 75.00 60.32 56.25 640x480 75.00 72.81 66.67 59.94 720x400 70.08 DP-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) HDMI-2 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) HDMI-3 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) DP-2 connected primary 1920x1080+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 725mm x 428mm 1920x1080 60.00* 60.00 50.00 59.94 1920x1080i 60.00 50.00 59.94 1280x1440 59.91 1680x1050 59.95 1280x1024 75.02 60.02 1440x900 59.89 1280x960 60.00 1280x720 60.00 60.00 50.00 59.94 1024x768 75.03 70.07 60.00 832x624 74.55 800x600 72.19 75.00 60.32 56.25 720x576 50.00 50.00 50.00 720x480 60.00 60.00 59.94 59.94 59.94 640x480 75.00 72.81 66.67 60.00 59.94 59.94 720x400 70.08 DP-3 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) Between it being bad I tried the following (having created a modeline from cvt when it was previously good - and modelines seem odd in the days of panels/non-CRT, but I haven't been paying attention): $ xrandr --newmode "2560x1440_74.97" 397.00 2560 2760 3040 3520 1440 1443 1448 1506 -hsync +vsync $ xrandr --addmode DP-2 2560x1440_74.97 $ xrandr --output DP-2 --mode 2560x1440_74.97 xrandr: Configure crtc 0 failed # put up with it to do some critical email # made a coffee & swapped a 3D print # powered monitor up and reset several times # switched on second monitor # mashed the keyboard/wiggled mouse/switched off and on again # jumped to VT1 and got prompt mirrored on both monitors # reconfigured successfully with System Settings -> Display & Monitor I'm expecting at least another 10 weeks of working from home, and this is getting really irritating.

[opensuse-support] Finding quadmath.h
by Jogchum Reitsma 27 Apr '20

27 Apr '20

Hi, I need the header file quadmath.h, which is AFAICS path of the Frotran package. But neither Yast nor zypper, or googling "quadmath.h opensuse Tumbleweed" or "libquadmath0 devel opensuse tumbleweed" leads to a opensuse repository for that package. I assume it is the -devel version of the libquadmath0 package (which I had already installed), but where do I find it? cheers, Jogchum -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-support] chrony, timedeatectl, networkmanager, dhcp
by mh＠mike.franken.de 26 Apr '20

26 Apr '20

Hi *, I tried to understand the relation between chrony, timedatectl, dhcp and NetworkManager on my Tumbleweed notebook. I regularily use a LAN connection, WiFi connections and LTE connections. In every case the network information is fetched via dhcp. Do I need chrony in this environment? Or is the systemd timedatectl service sufficient? If I need chrony, how does chrony get the ntp server address from dhcp? I don't want to change it manually in chrony.conf. I tried different constellations, but the results didn't seem to be consistent in a way I could understand. TIA. Bye.

[opensuse-support] apache2 exits with PHP Fatal error: Unable to start pcre module in Unknown on line 0

Hi, After errors in upgrading apache2 or it's components (see my post here on Jan. 11 2020, 12:21) which was solved with help from Christian Boltz, apache2 refuses to start. That is, systemctl start apache2 return without error messages on the terminal, but systemctl status apache2 gives systemctl status apache2 ● apache2.service - The Apache Webserver Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/apache2.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled) Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Tue 2020-04-14 11:31:42 CEST; 8min ago Process: 102150 ExecStart=/usr/sbin/start_apache2 -DSYSTEMD -DFOREGROUND -k start (code=exited, status=254) Main PID: 102150 (code=exited, status=254) Status: "Reading configuration..." apr 14 11:30:11 linux-mkay systemd[1]: Starting The Apache Webserver... apr 14 11:30:12 linux-mkay systemd[1]: Started The Apache Webserver. apr 14 11:30:12 linux-mkay systemd[1]: apache2.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=254/n/a apr 14 11:31:42 linux-mkay systemd[1]: apache2.service: Reload operation timed out.

[opensuse-support] A Leap 15.1 machine with KDE automounts FAT32 usb drives read-only
by Sebastian M. Ernst 20 Apr '20

20 Apr '20

Hi all, I just installed a fresh Leap 15.1 system with KDE and btrfs. Nothing special, I have done this on countless machines. This particular install has a wired issue: When I plug in in USB-drives (formatted with FAT32), KDE (through Dolphin) mounts them read-only (as I can see in the output of `mount`). Other Leap 15.1 systems mount the same sticks writeable without issues. If I mount the USB drives through a shell (as root) on the "broken" system, I can also write to them without an issue. Any idea what is going on here? Best regards, Sebastian -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-support] cryptsetup fails to prompt for password with latest TW snapshot
by ITwrx 16 Apr '20

16 Apr '20

I'm not sure what package might be the cause, but after updating to Tumbleweed snapshot 20200414 i can't get all the way to the login screen. It had been a few days since updating so the culprit may be in a snapshot (or maybe even two) back. The cryptsetup/luks password prompt for a data drive (internal sata3 hdd) i have auto-mounting via fstab and crypttab is not being shown. I tried booting the previous kernel with the same result. Finally, using a previous snapshot (from 4-14-2020, i think?) allowed me to enter my luks password for the data drive and finish booting. Since i'm not sure what package is the cause, i'm not sure how to file a bug report, so pseudo reporting here. thanks -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-support] New Bluez is breaking Bluetooth for receiving files!!!
by Marco Calistri 14 Apr '20

14 Apr '20

Hello, After almost 2 hours of testings, I finally discovered that new *bluez* is breaking Tumbleweed Bluetooth which normally can just send files outside and it is not allowing receiving files from external devices. The solution for me has been to install *bluez-deprecated* which in turn provide *hcitool* required for this kind of file transfers. Wonder if this fact is know by others around there and if a different way, I mean by not using blez-deprecated package is available to configure in/out file transfers over Bluetooth in Tumbleweed.
