LEAP 15.2 [dual boot] windows 10 not EFI -- GRUB2 can not boot nore probe

September 13, 2020, 12:20 am

I suffered to have 15.2 installed on a old 15.1 version.
It started by no KDE at boot after motherboard/proc/mem change.

Now 15.2 is running.
BUT I previously installed Windows 10 on this computer counting on the fact I NEVER HAD SUCH ISSUE SINCE 2006 !!

Problem is, usually windows bootloader is choosen instead of GRUB2 and we have to pass modify thru bcdedit the boot manager...
This time this GRUB2 that is selected and windows 10 is not probed nore visible in GRUB2.

I tried to find a way to boot it custom but it fails.

Code:
/dev/sda1  *        2048  1026047  1024000  500M  7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
/dev/sda2        1026048  92162047  91136000 43.5G  7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
/dev/sda3      92162048  92686335    524288  256M ef EFI (FAT-12/16/32)
/dev/sda4      92686336 234441647 141755312 67.6G 83 Linux
Those partitions /dev/sda1 /dev/sda2 were created during Windows installation I actually wiped out all the old partitions on the disk.
The partitions /dev/sda3 /dev/sda4 were created during Linux installation.

15.2 never granted me to not create /dev/sda3... it was required to continue installation process.

The part concerning GRUB2 is here:

Code:
        insmod part_msdos
        insmod ntfs
        insmod search_fs_uuid
#        insmod ntldr
        search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --hint-bios=hd0,msdos2 --hint-efi=hd0,msdos2 --hint-baremetal=ahci0,msdos2 86348D33348D2771 #F8DC-BA04
        set root='hd0,msdos2'
#        drivemap (hd1,msdos2) (hd0,msdos2)
#        ntldr (hd0,msdos1)/bootmgr
        chainloader /Windows/Boot/bootmgr.efi
Code examples comming from different forums... related to EFI/NOn efi issues.

On the bIOS, I tried to modify the boot priority between AHPI and EFI but in this case none of the entry for GRUB2 could be launched.

Clearly Windows 10 did not created a EFI that could be probed by GRUB2.

When mounting /dev/sda1 I could only found bootmgr... and bcd related files.
When mounting /dev/sda2 there is a EFI at /Windows/Boot/EFI/bootmgr.efi

Do I copy the /Windows/Boot folder to /boot/efi/EFI folder ?

LEAP 15.2 Installer does not overwrite encrypted partitions, but creates nested ones

Hi All

I installed version 15.2 on a laptop (Acer Aspire 3 2019) encrypting the OS partition. Eventually I got it working, but I would like to understand better two issues I had in the process.
1) The first installation went wrong during the updates, eventually I decided to reinstall everything from scratch, but when I recreated the encrypted volumes the partitioner did not overwrite the previous partitions, it created another partition inside the old one, so at startup (for each partition) it first asked the password of the first encryption and the the password of the second. I tried again, but with no luck, eventually I had to wipe out the partitions with System Rescue CD and then perform the installation. Is it an issue in the partitioner bundled with the installer?

2) Actually I didn't try very hard, but anyway I didn't manage to create a root partition with two logical volumes, BTRF for / and Swap, so now I have two separate encrypted partitions and at startup I have to enter twice the password. Was it something doable within the standard installer?

LEAP 15.2 [LEAP 15.2] Unable to boot 5.x kernels after updates installed this week

September 13, 2020, 8:54 am

Hi. This system was upgraded from Leap 15.1 to 15.2 about 4-5 weeks ago. The upgrade itself seemed to go smoothly and I had rebooted the system a number of times since then following updates.

Yesterday, things went sideways. A lot of updates were pushed by the OpenSuSE update repos this week, some of which set the needs-reboot flag. I think I saw a systemd update, a udev update, maybe a new kernel and several others that each would have set the needs-reboot flag. I couldn't afford to reboot at the time so I deferred rebooting until Saturday.

Saturday I performed the reboot and was left with a machine that hung midway through the kernel bring-up. The keyboard is unresponsive and I'm almost immediately presented with a splash screen with 3 green question marks. Eventually I'm returned to an emergency shell prompt but, again, the keyboard is unresponsive so I can't log in. I do recall seeing a message indicating that systemd-journal failed to start. (this becomes important below). Even ALT-SYSRQ-B is unresponsive. My only option seems to be to power-off.

Here's the thing: Since this machine was originally a Leap 15.1 machine, the grub menu still contains a 4.12.14 kernel entry that dates back to 15.1. This old kernel boots successfully. However, since journald never started during the failed boot, there's no log information saved anywhere from the failed boot to guess what's going wrong.

On a hunch that maybe the 5.3.x kernel itself was broken, I installed the 5.8.x kernel from Kernel:stable repository. This is where I made a mistake: the 5.8 kernel yields the same mid-boot hang with a dead keyboard. But my zypp.conf was the opensuse default version which means it only kept 3 kernels which means the act of installing 5.8 caused zypper to delete the 4.12 kernel that DID boot. ****.

So I gave up and re-imaged my hard drive using a bitwise copy that I'd made just prior to performing the 15.1-->15.2 upgrade. Booted back into 15.1 and performed the upgrade to 15.2 again. This, again, left me with a kernel that hung midway through the boot if I selected the 5.3 kernel from Grub. I suppose this should be expected since the latest-available packages were installed during the upgrade to 15.2. So ostensibly, at this point, the new 15.2 system's packages matched the old broken 15.2 system's packages and the boot behavior also matched.

Once again, though, the old 4.12.14 kernel left over from 15.1 boots fine. This time I changed zypp.conf to preserve that kernel!

So I'm left scratching my head. 5.3 booted fine until updates were installed this week. The fact that multiple kernels (5.3 from the official repo and 5.8 from the Kernel:stable repo) hang, it's probably not a kernel problem. Since 4.12.14 boots okay and appears to be completely usable, it's probably not a hardware problem.

That suggests that there's a problem inside the initrd images. But what? I tried manually reverting systemd, udev and dracut to 31.4.1 which rebuilt the initrd images but the failed boot behavior on 5.3/5.8 persists. I was unable to install earlier versions...when I tried to install systemd- or udev-30.x.x, yast complained that systemd-mini and udev-mini had unresolved dependencies (even though those packages aren't installed). Since I didn't understand the nature of that error (why would I get dependency errors for packages that aren't even installed?) I didn't force-install the older versions out of fear of rendering the system in even worse state.

Throughout this, 4.12.14 remains rock solid. This is curious because its initrd image should have been rebuilt alongside the others when I reverted systemd, etc. So if there's problem with the contents of the initrds or with the way dracut is constructing initrd, I would have expected this to break the 4.12.14 kernel. But no, it seems fine.

I'm open to suggestions about how to proceed. The inability to log into the emergency shell during the failed boot means that I have very little information about what went wrong.

LEAP 15.1 Keine Rechnerrnamenauswahl bei Samba

Hallo,

Mein Opensuse 15.1 (Plasma/KDE) Laptop ist in meinem Heimnetz (windows 'Workgroup') angeschlossen. Die meisten anderen Rechner dort sind Win7 PCs oder RPIs.

Unter Win7 im Datei Browser -> Netzwerk liefert die Namen der anderen PCs und dann Klick darauf die jeweiligen Shares, die ich dann als Laufwerksbuchstabe einbinden kann.

Im Dolphin gelingt es nicht die Shares mit ihrem Namen zu finden. Dort:
Netzwerk -> Freigegebene Ordner (SMB) -> Es ist keine Arbeitsgruppe im lokalen Netzwerk auffindbar. Dies könnte durch eine aktivierte Firewall verursacht werden.

Wo trage ich eigentlich ein unter welcher Workgroup der Laptop suchen soll?

Solche Fehlermeldungen mit Firewall sind schwierig zu beantworten.
Habe ich in meinem Heimnetz zwischen den PCs eine Workgroup einen Firewall? (Warum?)
Wenn ja, dann habe ich den nicht bewusst eingerichtet, der ist also per Default bei den Systemen aktiv (Windows?? / Linux ??)
Wie finde ich das heraus?

Eigentlich vermute ich, dass da kein Firewall ist, und die Fehlermeldung nur verrwirrt.

Mit der IP Addresse des Rechners kann ich im Dolphin den Share eintragen.
RMB -> Eintrag hinzufuegen -> Dann Ort eingeben als : smb://<accountname>@192.168.11.141/Shiva_D

Das geht, aberr ich finde das nicht besonders elegant. Einmal muss ich all die Informationen selber sammeln und dann haenge ich von der IP Adresse ab, die der Router per DHCP vergibt. Jaja, der Router gibt bisher immer jedem PC die selbe IP Addresse (MAC basiert vermutlich) aber auch daruf will ich mich nicht verlassen.

Also wie geht das, damit man das selbe Browse-Erlebnis der Workgroup Rechner wie beim Win7 hat ??

Vielen Dank,
Gert

Hi,

I'm coming from Debian and I'm used to configure a basic firewall with nftables, but apparently OpenSuse has got its own firewall.
So I was wondering the following:

- which packet filter framework does the YaST firewall use -> iptables or nftables?
- what are the default settings -> block all incoming, allow all outgoing, ...?

Thank you

The scenario.

A opensuse 15.1 server with some tens of users.
I want to make a incremental backup of user data to a externa share (in a raspberry pi with a external disk) by a cron script every night.
I'm not sure what will be the best way to do it
*Which program to use?
I'm thinking in storeBackup, is simple, although is a bit outdated

*Which remote filesystem?
I have formated the external disk in the raspberry as ext4, but now I have to share it and mount from the server to do the backup
nfs share?
samba share?
other options?


I would appreciate any suggestions.

best regards

OTHER VERSION QXL Video Mode & USB Redirector won't work via VMM in KVM/Libvirt installation on Micro-OS.

September 14, 2020, 3:55 am

Hi everyone,

I have recently decided to use OpenSUSE Micro-OS as my Hypervisor of choice for a KVM/Libvirt Server due to it's versatility, read only file system, and small footprint. I have installed the KVM server patterns (patterns-server-kvm_server & patterns-server-kvm_tools) on the Micro-OS server which allows me to connect to it remotely via Virtual Machine Manager which is going to be my preferred method of creating, and working with the mostly Windows KVM VMs which are going to ultimately run on this server.

Everything seems to be working fine other than two issues which are stopping me from using the setup to it's full potential.


  • Issue 01: QXL Video Mode.


I cannot seem to be able to chose QXL video mode under Virtual Hardware Details > Video > Details tab of the virtual machine being created. The error message shown by the system is:
Code:
Error changing VM configuration: unsupported configuration: domain configuration does not support 'video model' value 'qxl'
This is while I have another server running Tumbleweed, with KVM server patterns installed, which has no issue adding the QXL video mode to the new VMs being created. What is more is that both the Micro-OS, and the Tumbleweed installations have the QEMU version 5.1.0 installed which made me believe that they should both behave the same.

In this case choosing different video modes (Bochs, VGA & Virtio) work, but won't allow for the use of driver compatibility features such as "fit to window size" that QXL provides with additional drivers.


  • Issue 02: SPICE USB Redirection


In the same way, if the new VMs have SPICE USB Redirection the system will spit out another error which will prevent the creation of the VM. The error reads;
Code:
Error starting domain: unsupported configuration: USB redirection is not supported by this version of QEMU
Interestingly, the adding of the USB Host Device to the VM (Virtual Hardware Details > Add hardware > USB Host Device) works in connecting the USB (storage) device to the VM once setup, but then again it is very inconvenient since the system has to be shutdown everytime the USB device is to be disconnected, and a new one connected.

Conversely, the same can be easily achieved on the Tumbleweed server with the KVM pattern installed which makes me believe that there has got to be something I am missing in the Micro-OS setup, but I cannot find it no matter where I look.

It might be helpful to add that the VMs being made use UEFI firmware instead of BIOS with the Q35 chipset.

Any help is much appreciated

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to find a decent step by step tutorial on how to create an RPM package for OpenSuse. Maybe it's me, but I find the OpenSuse WIKI on packaging a little bit chaotic...

I found the following on a forum, but it dates back from 2009: https://serverfault.com/questions/18...n-rpm-for-suse

Do you guys know if there's a good recent wiki/tutorial out there with examples without using OBS? I just want to try it first without the Open Build System.

LEAP 15.2 Firewall configuration for UDP, TCP and HTTPS doesn't seem to work

September 14, 2020, 5:46 am

Hello all,

I've been using linux a while but am still only an average user. I'm new to OpenSUSE and really want to keep using it but am having trouble with getting things set up on Leap 15.2.

One of the applications I use needs to transmit UDP packets on ports 49003 - 49005, and accept TCP connections on port 10747. It is a Java application so permissions must be granted to the java runtime. The application doesn't do anything exotic network wise, it simply connects to servers on an https port (443), accepts a TCP socket connection on 10747, and broadcasts UDP packets with the traffic data.
(all of this is cut and paste from a support response I got from the application developer).

I should add this is a java application collecting data from a server on the internet and feeding it to a plugin within another application. (if you're interested it's RealTraffic, feeding to LiveTraffic plugin within XPlane 11 but I don't think it matters here). So it appears local UDP transport is blocked?

I've tried turning the firewall off but that didn't fix it. I've turned the firewall back on and added the necessary UDP ports and TCP port to the 'public' zone. I wasn't sure if I needed to add the https port to public too and am not sure how? I don't know how to add the java runtime to the firewall config either, it doesn't appear in the list of services to add.

My ports are configured as shown below.

I continue to get errors in the log for the application saying "could not bind UDP socket with "0.0.0.0:49003". and previous to adding the ports to the public zone I was getting ERROR Network.cpp:488/send: send failed: "0.0.0.0:10747" (Broken pipe)

Can someone point me in the right direction please? I'm not sure what to try next.

Thanks in advance!

I am running KDE desktop and LuckyBackup 0.5.0 from Tumbleweed repo site and am seeking help please with configuring the Exclude list in the Task properties advanced tab.

I am trying to exclude, inter alia, pCloudDrive and an NFS folder both of which are mounted on my system at /home/alastair.

First question, if I wish to exclude the whole directory should I include the trailing / as in /home/alastair/pCloudDrive/ or not. Since I wish to exclude the directory itself as well as subfolders I assume not.

I also assume that I should use the fully qualified address, or so I thought since the local address didn't work.

Even so, with fully qualified address and no backslash LuckyBackup is insisting on backing up the above excluded folders.

Where am I going wrong please?

LEAP 15.2 Samba 4.11 - some files appear as "folders" in Win10 client

September 14, 2020, 10:26 am

Hi all,

Newbie warning: I recently switched our home server/HTPC from Win7 to Leap 15.2. Bit of a learning curve but so far very impressed with the stability, samba sharing etc. The support here and elsewhere by the community is amazing, my half-brain couldn't have pulled this off without all the resources here.

The HTPC has a simple Raid 1 (2x WD80EFAX) for SMB shares, with a single NTFS part from Win7 days. Got a bit carried away and decided to go all-in and make a new Ext4 partition in the leftover space to try it out based on it being more Linux-native and supposedly having a bit better performance/resistance to fragmentation.

This caused an issue with samba 4.11 though - some of the files now appeared as dummy "folders" when viewed from Win10 clients. Similar to:

https://superuser.com/questions/1543...les-as-folders

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1797875

I went back to using the NTFS partition as the source for the SMB shares and all is well again. I assume there's a way to upgrade samba to 4.12 (Tumbleweed?) which fixes the issue per the su post above but did not want to mess with that just yet

I thought it was interesting that this seems to only happen with the Ext4 partition.

When Leap gets the updated samba, is there any real benefit to going with Ext4? I'm inclined to just keep using the NTFS even if it is a vestige of MS days...

Many thanks!

I just bought a brand X webcam to use for video calls with my desktop computer. It works with Skype and Google Hangouts. The Internet told me I should try webcamoid or cheese for recording videos. I downloaded both. Webcamoid is overly complicated for my liking. Cheese is simpler but the output images are tall and narrow, likely because it expects output to a wide screen monitor and mine isn't.

Could someone please recommend simple software for recording? Possibly run from a console. Thanks in advance.
