Hello, I’m kinda fresh on linux, but managed to a phase where my dear opensuse finally works.
One thing I cannot find/solve is those error issues on boot screen, that seams not to do any BIG harm.
System works well, time to time stuck and need to be restarted manually. So, I guess my linux need some hardware specific libraries or something.
P.S. I don’t do full system update, cause when i tried to update everything to new version, dear Suse didn’t start, and I had to rollback to earlier snap…
So, I just do updates on stuff I really need, and let those stuff to be NOT updated that makes my system run.
Maybe You guys, knew what are those issues and could you lead me to some direct solving techniques?
Some information bellow:
System: OpenSuse Leap 15.0
cat /proc/version
Linux version 4.17.4-1-default (geeko@buildhost) (gcc version 8.1.1 20180614 [gcc-8-branch revision 261584] (SUSE Linux)) #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Jul 3 11:31:47 UTC 2018 (882c99b)
Hi and welcome to the Forum
For a start you don’t seem to be running the Leap 15 kernel?? Sure you haven’t accidentally switched to Tumbleweed or have Tumbleweed repos?
Can you please post the output from the following terminal commands;
And thank you for your reply.
Yes, my system is OpenSuse Leap 15.0, and I upgraded it’s kernel manually, as it was newer, and I thought, it could solve those problems.
Though, after kernel upgrade those errors didn’t go off, and the system worked pretty the same, I left it running for good.
As I said, it didn’t solved any of mentioned issues, those were before I updated the old Leap 15.0 kernel (4.12 I think?)… So logic says, it (kernel) has nothing to do with it.
As asked, I reply your terminal notices for your codes:
As I mentioned before, I think problem is somewhere in miss conversation between hardware in system BUS, maybe some drivers…
As I am new in Linux, but I am running it since Leap 42.1, and I had hard times with my graphics, cause it’s switchable. Integrated Intel + AMD Radeon.
Maybe it leads you to any thoughts?
Thanks.
Oh yeah, one more point…
When I perform system shutdown, it never fully switches off. Instead it closes graphical shell, and leave the command line - bash. Jammed…
I cannot enter any command, nor computer shut downs… I have to long press my power button.
I really think somethings wrong with OS drivers and Dell compatibility here…
I think that 3rd repo is because of kernel I installed. Though MCE error’s I was wondering was even before that.
Anyway… I disable it. Didn’t yet restarted PC, cause I want to paste some output i get from command :
zypper -vvv dup --from repo-oss

Solution 1: install codelite-8.1-lp150.1.11.x86_64 (with vendor change)
(no vendor) --> openSUSE
Solution 2: keep obsolete codelite-12.0-1.suse.x86_64
Choose from above solutions by number or skip, retry or cancel [1/2/s/r/c] (c):
I proceeded more, but as more solutions I agreed, it was sure I was soon to remove all linux system.
And solutions turns to go in cicles. As solution invokes other solution, because software deleted before and so on…
I’m not sure why Suse complaints about stuff I install manually using “rpm -ivh”.
If any unmet dependencies ocour, it won’t install. Than I fetch those dependencies and install it anyway.
I never use install with argument --nodeps…
PS. about those boot errors, or as I managed to learn: MCE errors.
When i do as superuser: /usr/sbin/mcelog > mcelog.out
I get this:
mcelog: warning: 8 bytes ignored in each record
mcelog: consider an update
Hi
I would imagine you have pulled through numerous packages from the tumbleweed repo…
If this is a fresh install, consider starting again with a fresh install with just the default repos and perhaps packman repo (only one, you have two), libdvdcss updates rarely, you could just download the package and install… Get things up and running, updated and then add your third party repos to install your required packages.
Hello
I had same ***MCE errors on system boot ***on fresh installs of leap 42.1, 42.2, 42.3 and 15.0.
And I mean of FRESH INSTALL. I never upgrade from old to new one.
Why even bothering about my packages I install later on. I know those not work well in order now, but it was not the issue I was addressing in the first place…
I think it’s really some firmware or hardware (DELL) specific issues.
I even found that DELL released a BIOS update on my PC (version 1.25)
Mine is:
dmidecode 3.1
Getting SMBIOS data from sysfs.
SMBIOS 2.8 present.
95 structures occupying 5680 bytes.
Table at 0x000E0000.
Handle 0x0000, DMI type 0, 24 bytes

lines 1-23
Now I have to find the way, how to update it, cause firmware is provided in .exe file only.
I think, maybe easiest way to do that, temporary installing windows, updating BIOS, and install fresh Leap 15.0 again.
I think I broke my linux anyway, when solving package problems
Yeah. But I appreciate your help.
I will let you know, how it goes. Maybe I will fix it.
But for now, sleep time…
Yes, I have my 6 years old HP PAVILION G7-2180SR, not experiencing any of mentioned errors on that system.
I will try to find the way to updatemy Dell bios at the moment.
Hopefully, will reply shortly how it went.
Well, just updated bios firmware and installed a clean/fresh Leap 15.0.
Same MCE errors left. Basically, no errors seen when booting system on windows or ubuntu. So it’s not bios, nor hardware problem. I think it’s leap seeing my hardware in some strange/unusual way.
By the way, I didn’t install any additional packages after fresh install, so no questions should rise from that field.
