Went to update the #NixOS, #OpenSuse, and #Fedora computers today. The latter two proceeded without issue, but NixOS kept finding syntax errors in /etc/nixos/configuration.nix ... options copied directly from the online manual. I decided to reinstall ... which will also get me 20.09 instead of the current 19.09.

I'm also planning to flatten the Synology NAS and rebuild it.

I’ve had the #Debian and #Devuan machines off because of the heat, but since I’m reinstalling Kubuntu on the laptop, I decided to go through and see which ones need major updates and run them.

The Debian machine is upgrading to from 9 (Stretch) to 10 (Buster). The Devuan machine is upgrading from 2.x (Ascii) to 3.x (Beowulf). After they finish, I’ll look at the #Fedora and #OpenSuse machines.

The newer laptop: 12GiB of RAM, 40GiB disk. I installed #OpenSUSE Leap 42.3 before I left for #PR. I was going to upgrade in place (to the sequentially revised Leap 15.0) but ran out of space.

1. Libre Linux (GNU Kernel) on openSUSE
  
  By anaumov from ⌨ Labor omnia vincit ☮
  As we known, openSUSE project doesn’t provide official packages for Linux Libre kernel. There is a simple reason for that: default openSUSE kernel doesn’t include some proprietary modules; it’s free. All proprietary parts of the kernel could be found in a separate package kernel-firmware. But anyway there are users who want to use exactly GNU version. So, why not? This short tutorial describes how to build and install Libre Linux on openSUSE Leap 15.1 (openSUSE TW needs the same instructions).
  
  Right now in the Leap 15.1 repository the kernel version is 4.12.14.
  
  > uname -r 4.12.14-lp151.16-default
  
  Let’s check the latest available 4.x kernel on the FSF server. Right now the latest avaliable kernel there is version 4.18. Its size is less then 100 Mb. Download it:
  
  > wget -c \ https://linux-libre.fsfla.org/pub/linux-libre/releases/LATEST-4.N/linux-libre-4.18-gnu.tar.xz
  
  Before we continue, I will recommend to verify file integrity. The .sign files can be used to verify that the downloaded files were not corrupted or tampered with. The steps shown here are adapted from the Linux Kernel Archive, see the linked page for more details about the process.
  
  wget -c \ https://linux-libre.fsfla.org/pub/linux-libre/releases/LATEST-4.N/linux-libre-4.18-gnu.tar.xz.sign
  
  Having downloaded the keys, you can now verify the sources. You can use gpg2 to verify the .tar archives. Here is an example of a correct output:
  
  > gpg2 --verify linux-libre-4.18-gnu.tar.xz.sign gpg: assuming signed data in 'linux-libre-4.18-gnu.tar.xz' gpg: Signature made Mon 13 Aug 2018 01:25:14 AM CEST gpg: using DSA key 474402C8C582DAFBE389C427BCB7CF877E7D47A7 gpg: Can't check signature: No public key > gpg2 --keyserver hkp://keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys \ 474402C8C582DAFBE389C427BCB7CF877E7D47A7 key BCB7CF877E7D47A7: 12 signatures not checked due to missing keys gpg: key BCB7CF877E7D47A7: \ public key "linux-libre (Alexandre Oliva) " imported gpg: no ultimately trusted keys found gpg: Total number processed: 1 gpg: imported: 1 > gpg2 --verify linux-libre-4.18-gnu.tar.xz.sign gpg: assuming signed data in 'linux-libre-4.18-gnu.tar.xz' gpg: Signature made Mon 13 Aug 2018 01:25:14 AM CEST gpg: using DSA key 474402C8C582DAFBE389C427BCB7CF877E7D47A7 gpg: Good signature from "linux-libre (Alexandre Oliva) " [unknown] gpg: aka "[jpeg image of size 5511]" [unknown] gpg: WARNING: This key is not certified with a trusted signature! gpg: There is no indication that the signature belongs to the owner. Primary key fingerprint: 4744 02C8 C582 DAFB E389 C427 BCB7 CF87 7E7D 47A7
  
  The primary key fingerprint looks good.
  
  If everything goes well, untar downloaded kernel:
  
  > tar xfv linux-libre-4.18-gnu.tar.xz > cd linux-4.18
  
  Well… now comes the personal part of the installation process, i.e. you know better what’s you should to care about during creating the config file, what’s hardware do you have and your kernel should support, what kind of optimization do you want to have, etc. That’s the most important step of this entire tutorial. For example, good configured kernel could save few seconds of boot time, bad configured kernel will doesn’t boot at all 🙂
  To prepare the configuration file, you will need a base kernel configuration, it’s a plain text file calling .config. The are many ways to create .config file. It’s the same like for official Linux Kernel.
  Before we can configure our new kernel we will need to install all needed dependencies.
  
  # zypper in gcc make ncurses-devel bison flex libelf-devel libopenssl-devel bc # make menuconfig # make -j4 # make modules_install # make install
  
  If you newer built a linux kernel before and it makes you scary, you can just make make menuconfig and just close it without to change anything. It will scan your hardware and generate a default config. This configuration will include much more then you will really need, but it guarantees that the new kernel will boot.
  
  After installing we can still find the native openSUSE default-kernel in the GRUB menu. I think, this is the default behavior today in the most GNU/Linux systems. Thus, if something goes wrong and, for example, your new self-configured kernel will not boot, don’t worry.
  
  > uname -r 4.18.0-gnu-lp151.16-default
  
  I think, if it’s your first experience with the kernel compilation process and you will get new kernel that will boot and it will be smaller then default openSUSE kernel, you can be proud of yourself.
  Whatever you will get, don’t forget to have a lot of fun 🙂
  More info about Linux kernel for beginners could be found on the https://kernelnewbies.org/. More info about GNU Libre Linux could be found on the https://www.fsfla.org/ikiwiki/selibre/linux-libre/index.en.html. And, finally, if you interested in the openSUSE Linux kernel development process, you are always welcome to visit openSUSE wiki portal 😉

1. Upgrade Reliability of openSUSE Tumbleweed
  
  By CubicleNate from CubicleNate's Techpad
  For fun… or maybe negligence… I hadn’t updated one of my openSUSE Tumbleweed netbooks. As a rolling distribution of Linux, it is generally considered in bad form to not keep it updated as it will likely break the installation. Not so with Tumbleweed.
  
  The System
  
  Acer Aspire One D255E Netbook
  
  Intel Atom CPU N455 @ 1.66GHz
  
  2 GB DDR3 Memory
  
  250 GB HDD
  
  Intel GPU with 1024×600 screen resolution
  
  Runs openSUSE Tumbleweed with KDE Plasma
  
  Last updated 02 May 2018,
  
  Kernel 4.16.7
  
  KDE Plasma 5.12.4
  
  KDE Framework Version 5.45.0
  
  QT Version 5.10.0
  
  sudo zypper dup
  
  After updating the repositories and some churning a couple repository switches for two packages, there were a total of 2902 packages to be downloaded and installed. This included:
  
  Kernel 4.18.0
  
  KDE Plasma version 5.13.4
  
  KDE Frameworks Version: 5.48.0
  
  Qt Version 5.11.1
  
  After about two hours of that little netbook cranking away, downloading and installing, the upgrade was complete. The machine rebooted without a single incident. Not a bit of strange behavior or fiddling required to use the computer. It just worked.
  
  I was curious to know, how many snapshots were released since the last update. According to this page, there were 54 snapshots released by the Tumbleweed team. That means there were enough changes to spin up a new ISO of Tumbleweed 54 times!
  
  How does it run?
  
  Upon the system settling, I wanted to check the memory usage. A total of 489 MiB was being used by the system. Since Firefox and Chrome tend to be a bit heavy to use, I installed Falkon Web Browser and started to dink around a little bit. The machine is obviously a bit slow but runs well enough to be useful. Monitoring CPU usage, there were few spikes or periods of the CPU maxing out. I am impressed by how few resources that are actually being used.
  
  As far as how performant this machine is? It’s not. Not at all nor do I expect it to be. I don’t know that this machine is any slower than when it originally Ran Windows 7 Starter but comparatively to other systems, it can be just a bit painful to use outside of casual web browsing but it does play Tux Racer quite well.
  
  Final Thoughts
  
  I am impressed by how well openSUSE Tumbleweed can tolerate not being updated for an extended period of time. Two major kernel revisions, Qt version jump, and a KDE Plasma version jump and not a single things is broken even after missing 54 snapshots. Truly a testament to the hard work of all those involved in building and maintaining openSUSE Tumbleweed.
  
  As far as the hardware goes. I really like the size of this netbook; the keyboard is almost full size and it is preferred over a tablet for most purposes and it stands up on its own without any special case. The battery life is still good after 8 years of use and although it feels a BIT flimsy, the build quality is as such that it has survived more than one drop without any catastrophic damage. When this finally goes, I would strongly consider another of the same form factor and build quality.
  
  As with anything, your mileage may vary. Not everyone has the same successes and failures in their cases. I have pretty ordinary hardware so I seem to have constant success with openSUSE Tumbleweed as a very stable and robust platform to run on my machines.
