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.

15.6 rc iso - keyboard layout not respected? english only everywhere.
by cagsm 03 May '24

03 May '24

Support, apparently I am a real noob, the keyboard language layout seems to be english only. even when i chose from the initial grub2 menu a different language alltogether then it switches over to that language in the grub2 menu itself all right back with 15.5 it would then set the keyboard layout all right for the rescue system as well. but not in the 15.6rc iso. when booting into that rescue submenu entry and waiting for rescue too fire up, later right before the rescue login there is that kind of ancient style text mode menu or something where it asks me once more for language settings, and its about keyboard there i think i remember. but even selecting a nonenglish entry there it is still english after the login into root on the console. any way to acutally set a keyboard language during boot? with kernel parameters? or how does this all work? thanks for teaching a noob.

[TW] tab completion following zypper dup is fubar
by Felix Miata 02 May '24

02 May '24

A common sequence of keystroke events here on vt3: zypper dup zypper --no-refresh se -sx kernel-default kernel-longterm | egrep -v 'srcp|loading|leading' | egrep 'x86_64|noarch' # as script /usr/local/bin/zypsek time rpm -ivh /n<tab> The last line continues into the following without typing anything after <tab>: time rpm -ivh /n-bash: _comp_initialize: command not found This does not occur if after zypper zup I log out, then log back in before running the time rpm -ivh /n<tab> sequence. How can I determine what causes this strange behavior? It started to be a regular occurrence probably in excess of 6 months ago, IIRC, on every TW installation I have, and on Slowrolls. # tail -1 /usr/local/bin/zypsei zypper --no-refresh se -s -i $* | grep -Ev 'debug|devel|srcp|openSUSE-20' | egrep 'x86|noarch'| sort # zypsei pletio i+ | bash-completion | package | 2.12.0-2.2 | noarch | OSS # ls -gGd /nfs drwxr-xr-x 54 1024 Dec 24 2008 /nfs # https://paste.opensuse.org/0db16a461c88 is the last 1,000 lines of /var/log/zypper.log. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science.

TW: Huge Power drain in Suspend mode
by Axel Braun 22 Apr '24

22 Apr '24

Hi, I use to close the lid of my laptop in the evening to put it in suspend mode. Mostly while it is attached to power. It is a Manufacturer: LENOVO Product Name: 20QWS0A8GE System Version: ThinkPad X1 Extreme 2nd Since some time - may be kernel 6 series - it reports an empty battery in the morning. After some minutes it is back to normal with full charge (as connected to power). So this first 'report' is obviously wrong. A second Laptop, T520 running TW as well, does not show this effect. Since recent (Kernel 6.8?) the system reports empty battery as above, but as well an aging of 100% of the battery - and by this, no charging of battery. I did a recalibration of the battery, after this it shows an aging of ~75%. (echo force-discharge >/sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/charge_behaviour) The next day, again the same issue. Anyone seen this as well? Any idea about the reason and solution? Thanks Axel

Pipewire and passthrough of digitally encoded images
by Manfred Hollstein 20 Apr '24

20 Apr '24

Hi there, so far I have been ignorant of Pipewire, mostly because I couldn't get it to work in one of my usage scenarios. Now I have a different one: my HTPC running Tumbleweed is connected to a 4K TV via HDMI 2.1, similarly as a BluRay player and a Dreambox SAT receiver. The TV then sends its inputs via E-ARC to an AV receiver. In order to get the AV receiver decode any digitally encoded image (AC-3, DTS, DTS-Master-HD, Dolby-X, Dolby-Atmos, etc.), I want to pass such formats untouched to the receiver (passthrough). With PulseAudio this is partially possibly up to DTS, but passthrough for 7.1 and higher formats is not possible, it just ends up as Dolby Digital (AC-3) or DTS at the AV-R. I tried to get it going with Pipewire, but I won't get any sound. There is no error message, just no sound. My question is: (a) does anybody have this working at home? If so, how? (b) is passthrough supposed to work with Pipewire? If so, how? Thanks a lot for any suggestions/feedback! Cheers. l8er manfred

Unable to mount encrypted USB drive any longer:
by -pj 19 Apr '24

19 Apr '24

Hi, the machine is running openSUSE Tumbleweed 20240417. I am not able to mount an external encrypted usb any longer by using System Tray method (just noticed, from Plasma 6 System Tray). I have not attempted using Snapper to rollback the OS yet. When using Dolphin to attempt to access the encrypted usb's volume - the following error is displayed: An error occurred while accessing '1.9 GiB Encrypted Drive', the system responded: An unspecified error has occurred: Object does not exist at path “/” - Gparted recognizes the drive and is able to unencrypt the volume (when passphrase is entered). Then I am able to access the encrypted volume by using Dolphin after providing the root password. Dolphin has not asked for root password before when performing this operation. - It seems as if something with how Plasma 6 uses luksOpen has broken. I have not used the following in Konsole yet - cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sdc cr_ARBITRARY_NAME *because* I do not think I should have to do this with the volume already having a name. Output of 'fdisk -l' -> Disk /dev/sdc: 1.94 GiB, 2079850496 bytes, 4062208 sectors Disk model: Flash Disk Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes What is going on here? 🫥 -Best Regards

TW - Plasma6 / X11: cursor jumps while writing text
by Axel Braun 17 Apr '24

17 Apr '24

Hello, since Plasma6 on X11 I have an issue when writing text: All of a sudden the cursor jumps to a different location while writing. Text is somehwat broken afterwards. This happens only on X11, not on wayland. On X11, the systemsettings do not detect the touchpad (not found), while it is visible on wayland. Created already a bug for it: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=484753 My best guess is, that this is the reason for the jumping cursor: when the hand comes too close to the touchpad, it reacts different on X11 and wayland. Has anyone else this issue as well? Any ideas? Cheers Axel

Translating OpenSUSE Tumbleweed - some issues and questions
by Coleasa Nicolae 16 Apr '24

16 Apr '24

Hello! I am interested in contributing to the translation of OpenSUSE Tumbleweed into Romanian and I have some questions that I hope to get answers to, and that someone can help me in this regard. I started by translating: YaST yast-firstboot ✅ https://l10n.opensuse.org/projects/yast-firstboot/master/ro/ yast-installation ✅ https://l10n.opensuse.org/projects/yast-installation/master/ro/ I am looking for links to the pages that contain the License Agreement and the Welcome message that is displayed after installing the operating system. I have encountered some problems when translating from English where some characters appear that I don't know if I should include in the Romanian translation, if I include them they are displayed strangely and it looks like a translation with errors and mistakes is about this character: & A few examples: Start &Update K&eyboard Test Re&lease Notes... Installation from &Images Net&work Configuration... No, &Skip the Network Setup &Install from Images &Do not Install from Images &Change... &Toggle Action &Clone This System for AutoYaST Thank you!
