TUMBLEWEED TW after update to 20200211: My user hard drive partitions do not get mounted at boot any longer

$
0
0
Updated TW to 20200211 today, brought Kernel 5.5.2 and Plasma 5.18. Several awful surprises. This is the most important for now:

My user partitions on the internal hard drives (SSDs) are not mounted automatically at boot any longer, i.e. from /etc/fstab. Only / and /home are being mounted at boot now, after this update. The partitions in question are initially shown as disconnected in the Dolphin sidebar. Cicking on them gives me the prompt for the root password, then Dolphin mounts the drives.

My /etc/fstab (in full, with all UUIDs xxx'ed out):
Code:

# <file system>                            <mount point>          <type>  <options>                        <dump>  <pass>

UUID=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx  /home/me/ZBs            ext4    noatime                          0  2

The four partitions in question are in the last four lines, the /home/me/XXs. I tried adding the "owner" option to them, but no success.

Please, any help for me? I checked for any rpmnew files on my system, none. I also checked that the groups associated with user "me" are the same as before, i.e. users and vboxusers.

TUMBLEWEED TW after update to 20200211: Plasma has forgotten settings for root user after update to 5.18

$

Updated to TW 20200211 today, getting Kernel 5.5.2 and Plasma 5.18. Oh sh..., Plasma 5.18 has forgotten quite some settings - this in fact IS HORRIBLE.

My user settings (standard account) seem to be fine, as far as I could play around up to now. However, many Plasma settings related to the root user got lost:
  • Dolphin in root mode starts up from scratch, ignoring all previous settings I had. Moreover, it comes up with the standard theme/icon settings, not the dark mode I had set before.
  • Same for krusader in root mode. It starts up from scratch, does its first run settings (why the hell should it do that?), looks for auxiliary programs, and ignores all previous settings I had. It also ignores my dark theming/icons.
  • Similar for YaST, it now ignores the dark theming/icons I had set it to.

I logged in as root and checked the Plasma system settings - funny enough, they all look the same as I had before the TW update. (Yes, I know, logging into Plasma as root is really undesirable...) In particular, dark theming/icons are set properly for the root user.

What is Plasma 5.18 up to? Am I required to set it up all over again? Why are my dark theming/icons ignored now by programs which are run in root mode???

Oh man, what a mess now! I didn't check the Plasma bugzilla yet, but will have to do this next. In the meantime, if there is help here I would be really grateful. In fact, we have Valentine Day today, so there are more important things to do than restore my really well-groomed TW to its good-looking prior state...

LEAP 15.1 System becoming unstable with updates

$
0

I'm not sure what is going on. I don't see any posts describing my problem, so I am going to assume it is limited to my machine. Possibly my SSD going bad?...

So last weekend's updates 2/8/2020 - after which my Kmail started flaking out. Had been working fine since install. I would click on an email and poof, Kmail closed. Became so unusable I spent hours migrating to Thunderbird. OK, I can chalk that up to maybe a bad update. I since like Thunderbird so much more anyway.

Fast forward to this weekend's updates which I only installed on 2/13/2020. Now Vivaldi browser opens, blinks, a few seconds later blinks again, repeats this 3 or 4 times, then poof - gone. OK, Vivaldi had an update in the latest batch of updates. So let's downgrade. Same issue. OK, so lets uninstall and reinstall. Uninstall works fine. Reinstall I select Vivaldi (in YAST), hit apply, and poof - YAST installer disappears. What the? OK, try it again, same result. OK, reboot, try it again, SAME RESULT.

Now I'm thinking something is seriously gone wrong with my machine. What's not going to work next?...Is it just incompatible software with my video card? It's an old Lenovo T410 with a samsung evo 860 ssd. I really don't want to wipe and start over - only to have the same issue after all current updates are applied. I'm at a loss as to what to do next...

TUMBLEWEED btrfs frequently running out of space with lots unallocated

Every time I do a system update, I run out of space on my root partition.

btrfs is hellbent on using only 74GB out of 323GB total available on the partition so I have to then start deleting snapshots to try and complete the update.
There must be something I'm missing so I'm hoping someone has any suggestions.

Here's some output which might help diagnose this:

Code:

LEAP 15.1 Ho to convert Susefirewall2 FW_FORWARD_MASQ to firewalld

$

I have succesfully converted from Susefiwall2 to firewalld, but I still have one rule I cannot obtain:

FW_FORWARD_MASQ="
0/0,192.168.168.6,tcp,21,21,a.b.c.150
0/0,192.168.168.6,tcp,60000:60100,,a.b.c.150
0/0,192.168.168.5,tcp,21,21,a.b.c.149
0/0,192.168.168.5,tcp,60000:60100,,a.b.c.149
"

I have two internal FTP servers (192.168.168.5 and 192.168.168.6) that should be externally reached in passive mode addressing two public IPs on the external interface (a.b.c.149 and a.b.c.150) . In Susefirewall2 this was working perfectly, but in firewalld I can forward the single port 21 , but it does not accept the 60000:60100 needed for passive ftp.

How can I achieve this configuration?
TY in advance

I installed tumbleweed on a usb hd, and enjoyed it so much, I deleted a distro on my main laptop (lenovo ideapad 320-15ast) and installed tumbleweed.
Really enjoying it. It's been my main system.
I've forgotten how some tools work, but I'm getting them figured out :)
Thanks devs for a great disto!

LEAP 15.1 Package Updater Not Giving Notifications

Hello,

I upgraded some time ago, and I just realized that the Package Updater is not giving me notifications when updates are available. When I go into YaST2->Online Updates, the system is configured for Automatic Online Update and set for daily. I am not sure where to go from here because notifications are nice.

I did a search for Package Updater, and this forum appears to be correct place. If not, please let me know, and I will move it.
Thanks,

Tim

TUMBLEWEED Install Tumbleweed with Cinnamon ONLY

$

0
I recently installed TW with Gnome, and I'm a big fan of it, but I also like Cinnamon. So, I thought I would also install Cinnamon along with it (testing in VM first), and noticed that it also brings in many MATE elements, and icewm, as well.

Furthermore, when I try to log into Cinnamon (again, this is in VM only at this point), it never arrives at the desktop, it just hangs at a black screen indefinitely.

What gives? Why the MATE and icewm stuff along with Cinnamon? Is there a way to install Cinnamon only, from the beginning (without Gnome, as I did)? Does the NET installer allow for this?

TUMBLEWEED kernel 5.5.xxx not working with wireless

$

I am running Tumbleweed on an HP laptop. I ran "zypper dup" for edition 02072020 and my NetworkManager could not find my wireless adapter and, hence, my networks. The only thing it saw was Bluetooth. Fighting off panic, I downloaded the latest Tumbleweed install image on another computer with the intention of updating the problem away but when the install tried to find a network adapter, it could not. I have since done zypper dup daily and noticed that the kernel is being updated with disturbing regularity But nothing after 5.4.xxx will find the wireless doo hickey. In fact, the last two versions of 5,5,xx will not even load on my machine! I have to boot with 5.4.xxx to get online.

I am just curious and will try zypper dup on a few of my machines just to see what shakes out vis-a-vis wireless connectivity.

Since I have a workaround, I do not consider this critical but I am curious what broke and when it will be fixed. I have not dissected the boot logs, yet, but like I said, I can make the machine work so it is a low priority for me, just a pain in the butt!!!

LEAP 15.1 Can't set up Google online account - page blank

Hello
I have Opensuse Leap 15.1 KDE
When I try to set up a Google online account, I get the "Web authentication for Google" window, but it remains blank. I'd expect to see the Google authentication page prompting me to enter my credentials.
The authentication window looks like a lite web broser. When I click on View Page Source, I suspect it is not handling the web redirects properly. See below (I replaced with Ns everything that looked like a token, for security reasons).
Any ideas?

Any help will be appreciated

LEAP 15.1 A python3 application requires GTK3 to run, I can't install it

Hi! I am trying to launch an application pyglossary https://github.com/ilius/pyglossary
I cloned the repository, tried to run the app:
Code:

aleksandr@linux-b0ak:~/pyglossary> python3 main.py
Module 'lxml' not found, skipping plugin 'appledict_bin'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "main.py", line 423, in <module>
    __import__("ui.ui_%s" % ui_type2),
  File "/home/aleksandr/pyglossary/ui/ui_gtk.py", line 42, in <module>
    gi.require_version("Gtk", "3.0")
  File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/site-packages/gi/__init__.py", line 130, in require_version
    raise ValueError('Namespace %s not available' % namespace)
ValueError: Namespace Gtk not available

Obviously, I need to have gtk3 installed, which I don't have. I try using zypper to deal with it and I get:
Code:

aleksandr@linux-b0ak:~/pyglossary> sudo zypper in gtk3
[sudo] password for root:
Sorry, try again.
[sudo] password for root:

'gtk3' not found in package names. Trying capabilities.
'libgtk-3-0' providing 'gtk3' is already installed.

Nothing to do.


LEAP 15.1 Not able to recover the system with snapper

$

Hi!
I recently had my system broken trying to install spotify with spotify-install package from official OpenSuse repositories. The installation required libgcrypt.so.11()(64bit) package and I manually installed it.
After that my system was no longer functional as the screen refreshing started to behave weirdly. I obviously resorted to recovery of the system using a snapshot. I've chosen a several pre-installation ones, but the each time I tried to boot from them, my problem didn't vanish. I had to completely reinstall my system from usb, as I needed the PC to be functional right then.
Could someone please explain me why I was not able to eliminate the problem just booting from the snapshot? How can I protect myself from the future system failures if snapper doesn't seem to work?
And perhaps someone can explain me additionally why libgcrypt.so.11()(64bit) broke my system in the first place?

Leap or Roll?

Richard brown did post his promised blog on why not to use Leap and go Tumbleweed (well, really, MicroOS) only...

https://rootco.de/2020-02-10-regular...ses-are-wrong/

For me, the great strength of Tumbleweed, as a "general purpose" distro, is also it's greatest weakness; constantly rebuilding packages. Watching zypper dup download and then individually update 1000+ packages on a weekly basis or more is a bit much to me, even for a single desktop. On a general purpose sprawling server that feels like a nightmare just waiting to happen.

On the other hand, I do fully agree that rolling for Micro OS and single function containers, where a whole pre-made system image snapshot is provided that is a product delivery or an update, makes a lot of sense. I don't have to watch 1000+ packages try to individually update, running their scripts, etc, and hope nothing goes wrong. I just re-image each application service, once, when I want to update. Even the great anxiety of rolling distros, of what happens if I don't update for several weeks or months, is gone, as it is always installed as a clean snapshot image rather than trying to rebuild itself from individual packages all running scripts, and any one of which that may assume an update you may have missed had already been installed.

If Richard Brown is proposing things like Micro OS with rolling single snapshot updates (and ideally an immutable rootfs) should entirely replace conventional servers, I could fully embrace that. If he is proposing that rolling distros should be the only form of all linux distros for all uses, which he also advocates, I feel he is dead wrong there. For example, for development work and generic desktops, having used both now, if I had to choose, I would pick leap over tumbleweed.
