Unable to load X11 session after Tumbleweed update:
by -pj 18 May '24

18 May '24

Hi, I decided to update an i386 Tumbleweed machine here to the latest 20240506 snapshot there were many many packages listed for update (1900+). I used snapper to create a snapshot manually prior to the update. The update appears to have completed fine without incident. I then powercycled the machine. Now when the SDDM desktop display manager is displayed, I am able to select X11 session type then enter my password and login. Once logged in, the desktop is for the most part unusable. Menu button is covered by workspaces, taskmanager is partially blank, (konsole is also unusable). I can then switch to TTY1 and enter my username and password. Passing 'inxi -Gxx' displays the following -> https://paste.opensuse.org/pastes/f42c153b3d71 It appears to me that Xwayland is being used ever though I have selected the X11 session type at SDDM login. Looking through /.config/kdeglobals (using TTY1) does not show -> [QtQuickRendererSettings] SceneGraphBackend=software I know this is probably not a software rendering issue. Previously I have forced software rendering by editing /etc/environment and adding -> QT_QUICK_BACKEND=software KWIN_COMPOSE=02ES Do you believe this may be an issue with a newer version of Mesa now? Can you tell me the best way to force X11 session to load? -Best Regards

Only economic print quality with HP LaserJet Color on Leap 15.5 (and older)
by nospam＠godawa.de 17 May '24

17 May '24

Hi, I'm using openSUSE since long time (still have books and install media for 6.4), not always on my daily drivers, but on servers, on small travel laptop, for testing etc., thus I never really had to look at the printing system. Finally I decided to switch from MacOS X to Leap on my current ThinkPad T480 and it came to the printer installation over network. Printer is a HP LaserJet Pro 400 Color (M451dw), installed with the "HP-setup". It was found, recommended driver was the "manufacturer-PPDs/hplip-hpps/hp-lj_300_400_color_m351_m451-ps.ppd.gz", printing works. But, the quality is very bad, it looks like economic mode, but for sure, the "HPEconoMode" is disabled (False). I also checked all other options in the driver-settings without success. The problem is not related to this specific laptop, but also for two others, installed with Leap too, while printing on an Epson XP-820 inkjet works perfectly, as it does from MacOS X (10.13 and 10.15) on the same ThinkPad and an old MBP13 with the HP LaserJet. Any idea how to solve this? Thanks a lot, -- kind regards, thg

It seems that the search function in the openSUSE wiki is broken since some time. Every search only throws following error: "An error has occurred while searching: We could not complete your search due to a temporary problem. Please try again later." https://en.opensuse.org/index.php?search Is this issue already known?

Wire Desktop
by gumb 12 May '24

12 May '24

Is there a reason that Wire (encrypted VOIP-like client) isn't available in openSUSE repos? Is there an issue around licensing or open source elements? It is for example available in F-Droid. Been using the AppImage for years on openSUSE Leap. Just noticed that the Wire Downloads page consistently points to an old AppImage, whilst there are newer versions on their GitHub. So I grabbed the AppImage from there, only to find I can't login with it due to an error "Wire can't access your system's safe storage". Following the link provided leads to this page: https://github.com/wireapp/wire-desktop/wiki/Grant-access-to-system's-keychain-(Linux) It only references people using Snaps or not running a full DE, but it seems to apply to the AppImage too. Annoyingly, that now means the app won't run without having something like gnome-libsecret or kwallet. I've managed to lock away the latter in a cupboard and thrown away the key, I don't want to have to be nagged to use that now just for one app. If Wire-desktop was in an official openSUSE repo maybe this wouldn't be necessary? gumb

11 May '24

Support, some simple current 15.5 when zypper dup to 15.6 i get this questionaire, but i can not really decide what to do? when selecting one or the other removal of obsolete libopenssl-1-1-1-devel or other is called libopenssl-devel-1-1-1 doesnt really help. weird naming? maybe the one or other originates even from leap 15.4 level? thanks for helping on this how to decide: --------------------------------- Problem: 1: the to be installed libopenssl-1_1-devel-1.1.1w-150600.2.16.x86_64 conflicts with 'libopenssl-devel > 1.1.1w' provided by the to be installed libopenssl-devel-3.1.4-150600.2.1.noarch Solution 1: Following actions will be done: keep obsolete libopenssl-1_1-devel-1.1.1l-150500.17.25.1.x86_64 keep obsolete libopenssl1_1-1.1.1l-150500.17.25.1.x86_64 keep obsolete libopenssl-devel-1.1.1l-150400.1.5.noarch keep obsolete openssl-1.1.1l-150400.1.5.noarch keep obsolete openssl-1_1-1.1.1l-150500.17.25.1.x86_64 Solution 2: deinstallation of libopenssl-1_1-devel-1.1.1l-150500.17.25.1.x86_64 Solution 3: deinstallation of libopenssl-devel-1.1.1l-150400.1.5.noarch ------------- the solution 2 or 3 no matter which only asks for more removal of other python stuff thereafter. the only simple stuff would seem solution 1, keep old stuff? can I delete them thereafter once inside 15.6? how do I search for obsoleted or orphaned rpm packages? thank you all.

Sound on HP laptop not functioning properly
by Jogchum Reitsma 09 May '24

09 May '24

Hi, This weekend I have bought a HP 17-cp3076nd laptop, and installed Tumbleweed on it. I get no sound from it. If I *hover above* the speaker icon, I see the device that should be active, but if I *click* on it, the message is No devices found. If I go to System settings, there are two audio devices, and if I select the one connected to the laptop speaker, I get the Left-Right test sound OK. The selected device is, as said, visible when one hovers above the speaker icon. The device connected to the laptop speaker is an AMD Family 17h/19h HD audio controller, kernel driver in use snd_hda_intel. Which is reported to be active by lsmod. Any one an idea what goes wrong here? Thanks in advance, regards, Jogchum

Network configuration is overwritten by kernel "rd.neednet" and "ip" after boot
by Jonas Kvinge 08 May '24

08 May '24

Hi, I'm using the following kernel parameters to enable networking and SSH so the LUKS encrypted root partition can be unlocked remotely in case automatic unlocking fails: net.ifnames=0 rd.neednet=1 ip=192.168.250.20::192.168.250.200:255.255.255.0::eth0:off When the system is booted, it's supposed to use NetworkManager and switch to another IP address, but this does not happen automatically. NetworkManager is connected to a connection named "eth0", which has automatically been created, instead of the actual network connection I've added. Setting a priority on the connection does not make it switch either. I've tried adding a systemd service to reset the network address on the interface before NetworkManager is started, the service is started on boot, but it still uses the eth0 connection with the IP address set by the kernel. The service looks like this: [Unit] Description=Release Network Address Before=network-pre.target [Service] Type=oneshot ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/network-reset.sh [Install] WantedBy=network-pre.target In /usr/local/bin/network-reset.sh I've tried the following: "ip addr del 192.168.250.20 dev eth0" and "ip addr flush eth0" I've also tried "ip link set eth0 down" and "ip link set eth0 up" and various combinations of the above. Redhat has a issue for the same thing here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1787021 But the solution at https://access.redhat.com/solutions/3017441 seem to be closed to commercial users.
