TUMBLEWEED Firefox and Thunderbird periodically crash, won't start again until rebooting

My mother has been experiencing a severe issue on her computer for several months. After I got her a more performant motherboard today, the issue seems to have worsened rather than improved. I can't find any useful information to debug this problem, so I'm hoping someone else might have an idea about what is going on with her machine.

The issue only seems to affect software from Mozilla, namely Firefox and Thunderbird. After a few minutes of uptime, either Firefox or Thunderbird (usually the first) will crash, bringing up a popup that asks whether I wish to submit a crash report to Mozilla. Once a crash has occurred, the affected program will no longer start up until the computer is rebooted: The crash will now occur immediately as you try running the application. I've verified that no older process copies of the program are still running, tried a fresh profile and running in safe mode, and even logging out and back doesn't fix it!

When running FF or TB from a console once they become affected by the crash, I only see the following lines before I get the crash popup:

Code:
ExceptionHandler::GenerateDump cloned child 2855
ExceptionHandler::SendContinueSignalToChild sent continue signal to child
ExceptionHandler::WaitForContinueSignal waiting for continue signal...
Does anyone have an idea of what might be happening? Why would Firefox / Thunderbird periodically crash for no reason, and most importantly what does it change in that session that causes them to no longer start up until the computer is rebooted?

TUMBLEWEED login screen coming up again and again (maybe lightdm?) after a recent daily update

Hi
After a recent Tumbleweed (almost daily) update, the login screen shows up again and again even after the correct login password
I think I have been using lightdm. But I am not sure.
The root login is also in trouble as well as my own user login.

Which one is the culprit? The kernel or lightdm or xorg?

I tried Ctrl-Alt-F1 for a command-line login. But when I switched to sddm by switching inside
"/etc/sysconfig Editor", the login process did not go as far as the login window.

Which display-manger is the most basic and the most trouble-free?

Thanks a lot.

PS: I had a similar trouble about a year ago. That time, I gave up and fresh-installed the LEAP.

LEAP 15 Unicode Key In Feature Won't Work After Upgrade To Leap 15

I've upgraded my system from openSUSE Leap 42.3 to Leap 15 (that sounds weird, don't it?), and have noticed the long avaiable feature of pressing Ctrl-Shift-U to key in Unicode Characters is no longer working, on the Web Browser, and LibreOffice (of course, it never worked in KATE/KWRITE). So far, I've been in the icewm desktop, and it didn't work, and now I'm in the Plasma desktop, and it doesn't work... has Leap 15 changed this feature to something else?

Thanks.

Only chrome plays vimeo videos while Firefox does not -the website I tried was www.monstersaliensrobotszombies.com

The error says "Unsupported viewing environment. Your system is having trouble playing this video. For more information, see our Help Center".

Last software update was on July 25th -meaning today.

Does anyone have an idea of what package(s) I should be looking for or what I should do?

TUMBLEWEED AMD overheats - throttle with software?

July 25, 2018, 8:00 pm

Hi, I've got an HP 17-y011cy, a laptop with an AMD A12-9700P. I just got it less than 3 months ago, but it's a refurb that only had a 30day warranty. Within that 30day window, I thought that my slowdowns and temporary lockups were caused by me or the OS, and I re-installed multiple times, but now I've got thermal monitor and system load widgets running.

They show I'm hitting hi temps frequently, and the slowdowns happen in the 150s (Fahrenheit) and lockups in the 160s. The temperatures occur even when there's little load on the cpu, like when I'm just playing solitaire. Curiously, the GPU temp usually leads the charge up the thermometer, and I've never done anything to stress that, just basic compositing effects in KDE like wobbly windows.

Since I'm stuck with the hardware, I wonder if there's any way to use software to slow down the APU, to keep it cooler. I see a cpufreq panel applet for xfce, bit nothing obvious for KDE. Do I need to switch desktop environments to get this feature?

Thanks,

TUMBLEWEED Issues with Radeon driver in one of the latest updates

I'm using Tumbleweed, and I keep it fairly updated (usually every day).

One of the latest updates seemed to have cause some problems with the video card (an ATI Mobility Radeon, quite an old model): there were many graphical glitches during the regular laptop use, and without anything fancy going on, just Chromium and Dolphin running. I accessed the virtual console with CTRL+ALT+F1 and this was what I got (sorry for the picture instead of a text log, but the screen became unresponsive and I could not get it):




I rolled back to a snapper snapshot of a couple of days ago, and everything runs smoothly as usual.

If this is helpful:

Code:

LEAP 15 Wie kann ich rsh unter Leap 15.0 verwenden?

Ich benutze OpenSuse 10 ... bis 15.0 und muß in Scripts remote comands mit rsh aufrufen.
Aber in Leap 15.0 gibt es offensichtlich rsh nicht mehr! Nur mrsh!
Dazu habe ich compatibility packages gefunden, aber auch damit funktioniert mir der rsh Aufruf zu älteren Linux-Rechnern nicht.
Auch umgekehrt, von alten mit rsh auf Leap 15.0 kriege ich nur immer: Connection refused

Laut Anleitung habe ich:

systemctl start munge.service
systemctl start mrlogind.socket mrshd.socket
auch für root:
echo "mrsh" >> /etc/securetty
echo "mrlogin" >> /etc/securettyNun find ich leider keine Hinweise, was mir noch fehlt.

Bin für jeden Hinweis sehr dankbar.

When running the configure script of claws-mail (downloaded from CM's git repo) it tells me:

LEAP 15 Leap 15 - Raspberry PI XFCE - No Update Repo

Hi I downloaded the leap 15 image and and installed it booted, I got VNC up and put uget on.
I wanted to update it but it says it had no update repo in yast.
Zypper just said it had nothing to do which I thought odd.

I saw that my only repo was this:
http://download.opensuse.org/ports/a...15.0/repo/oss/

I noticed the aarch64 part of it.
I went to the repo section of the leap 15:
https://en.opensuse.org/Package_repositories

The update repo shown is - http://download.opensuse.org/update/leap/15.0/oss/

Do I just add this to my yast?

Why did it not come pre-setup? Did I do something wrong in the install?

Thanks :)

I did a fresh installation of Leap 15 on a PC I have had leap 42.x on before.

Now I have the strange thing that whenever I start something with sound (youtube, vlc, whatever) and when the sound ends, I hear a loud popping sound.

I have an intel soundchip.

Suggestions?

TUMBLEWEED Swap Partition and Swap File?

I was hoping to use a swap partition that is 1x my ram (32GB) for hibernation sake. Then on the side have a swap file so if the system needs more it can flex out and use it.

I have yet to find some information on how to use both... it seems like one or the other.


ps. Yes this computer will be dealing with large'ish data sets. The swap will be located on a NVMe drive.

TUMBLEWEED Firefox crashes the swstem (unless it's safe mode)

Hello :)

Recently Firefox started causing the system to freeze and the only solution would be to force close/start the laptop. It was just random, and then after I tried to "refresh" it, every time that I open it, the whole system freezes. I tried re-installing but it didn't work. It only works when I start it in safe mode from terminal.
I'm using tumbleweed Gnome with Firefox 61.0.1
(From my little research, maybe it's related to some graphical card driver problem but I don't know. I'm using an Intel graphical card and supposedly the last build of Tumbleweed).

Thank you very much for any support :)

LEAP 42.3 Strange locale since 2 days - how to change?

Since about 2 days, my locale has been changed to:
Code:
charles@fiume7:~> locale
LANG=aa_DJ.utf8
LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8
LC_NUMERIC="aa_DJ.utf8"
LC_TIME="aa_DJ.utf8"
LC_COLLATE="aa_DJ.utf8"
LC_MONETARY="aa_DJ.utf8"
LC_MESSAGES="aa_DJ.utf8"
LC_PAPER="aa_DJ.utf8"
LC_NAME="aa_DJ.utf8"
LC_ADDRESS="aa_DJ.utf8"
LC_TELEPHONE="aa_DJ.utf8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="aa_DJ.utf8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="aa_DJ.utf8"
LC_ALL=
and as a result 1 program aborted (kontact) and the month abbreviations in an ls command are unknown to me, such as
Code:
-charles@fiume7:~> ll
-rw-r--r--  1 charles users    5640 qad 14 22:30 ,sda
-rw-r--r--  1 charles users      336 qun 12  2018 rout.2
-rw-r--r--  1 charles users      18 nah 22  2017 pin
rather than
Code:
charles@fiume7:~> ll
-rw-r--r--  1 charles users    5640 Jul 14 22:30 ,sda
-rw-r--r--  1 charles users      336 Jan 12  2018 rout.2
-rw-r--r--  1 charles users      18 Feb 22  2017 pin
This odd behaviour started only about 2 days ago and I have been searching for "aa_DJ.utf8" through the whole system where these odd definitions are taken place but I have found nothing. Other users on this computer do not suffer from this behaviour, their locale is normal, which points to a setting in my home directory, but again I failed to find something. But maybe aa_DJ.utf8 is simply a default value in case something is undefined. I have tried to override LANG in my ~/.profile, but although this contains a few variable settings (LESS, PAGER, DICTIONARY, etc) which are taken into account, the extra LANG=en_US.UTF-8 is not.
Any suggestions where to look?
Thanks, Charles

TUMBLEWEED Do i need /etc/fonts/fonts.conf if i already configured fonts in yast?

Hi, may be a silly question please be kind i'm new to Tumbleweed and could not find a conclusive answer in the forums. i want to get the best better posible font rendering using subpixel fonts.
I have a fonts.conf file (i keep it in an usb ) that i use in all my other linux installs, it works beautifully, no matter what the distro is, i install some freetype fonts, overwrite /etc/fonts/fonts.conf file (in some distros the file is local.conf or it is located in conf.d directory) and get nice looking fonts. In Tumbleweed with the ease that yast gives me i played a bit with the fonts module, that basically is a graphic editor of the options I use in my fonts.conf file, do i still need to copy my file to /etc/fons? I don't see any fonts.conf file generated by yast, in fact there is not any fonts.conf fileat all, and two xml entries i use in my file are not in yast gui.

TUMBLEWEED disadvantages of using tumbleweed release if you plan to use a custom kernel

July 26, 2018, 10:14 pm
$
0

Hi, I think it makes no sense to use Tumbleweed if you plan to compile and use a custom kernel, as kernel is being updated very frequently due to rolling release nature of Tumbleweed, in a week or so you may exhaust the availability of kernel entries in grub, i am yet to investigate what this number is but for sure you will exhaust it sooner or later. Using a LTS is not an option for me, drivers are too old for my rtl8723be wifi chip, low signal, slow download speed, lost connection etc problems that i had to battle until 4.17 that so far has been working great, Is there a way to do some kind of package stickiness within the same oficial repositores? this way the kernel won't be updated so often until i am ready and have the time to recompile it, Somehow a twisted DYI LTS kernel version.

TUMBLEWEED My password doesn't work.... First time installing.

This is my first time installing OpenSuse Tumbleweed. Everything generally went ok but the first time it booted it just auto logged in. It did not ask me if I wanted to login. Then when I tried to connect to the internet it wanted to make some wallet which I fumbled with then it connected. When I tried to do any sudo commands it wouldn't work. If I logged out I couldn't log back in. The only way was to reboot and let it auto login.

Not sure what I did wrong. During the install it asked what my user name would be and I entered a matching password.... and here I am now.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.


ps. this is dual booted with windows10 which is working fine.

Hi, i have plenty of free ram, >5G, yet my sistem is using 40MB of swap space, i have an ancient 5400 rpm rotating hdd i don't want my sistem touch hard disk at all if posible, i hate swap, I would like it to not even exist in the first place, i have swappiness already configured to recomended value (10).
Why my system insist in using hdd? please dont answer with links how linux kernel works, why it may in fact improve things, etc. bull************!!!! i have read them almos all that result of google searches, i hate swap, i did not spent precious dollars buying memory that is not used at all by the ****ing os, is Tumbleweed kindly enough to force to vanish to nothing the use of swap memory? what ill effects can arise If i delete the swap entry in fstab?
