[opensuse] Leap 15.1 and Intel graphics driver question
by Bjoern Voigt 17 Jun '19

17 Jun '19

After having many stability problems with the xf86-video-intel graphics driver, I switched to the "modesetting" driver on my Lenovo IdeaPad U430 notebook (Intel i5-4200UCPU and graphics) on Leap 42.3 and Leap 15.0. Yesterday I upgraded to Leap 15.1 and KDE Plasma did not start (TWM and Gnome had no problems). To fix this, I removed the "modesetting" driver settings from /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-device.conf: Section "Device" Identifier "Intel Graphics" Driver "modesetting" # Driver "intel" # Option "AccelMethod" "glamor" # Option "AccelMethod" "none" # Option "DRI" "3" EndSection Now KDE Plasma starts again with the Intel driver. My questions: - Does anyone successfully run the "modesetting" driver with Intel graphics? - Do I need an additional configuration for "modesetting" and Leap 15.1? - As I was running the xf86-video-intel some time ago, I decided to update the driver the Git-master. The Leap 15.1 xf86-video-intel driver seems to be updated last time on Sep 19 2018. Is this recent enough or should I update to make the driver more stable?

[opensuse] Laptop freezes after lid closing/reopening
by Mikhail Ramendik 17 Jun '19

17 Jun '19

Hello, In Leap 5.1 witj minimum X configuration (icewm) I close the lid of the laptop. Then when I reopen it I find the system frozen. The mouse cursor is still moving but no reaction to any clicks, nor to any key presses (including Ctrl+Alt+F1 and Ctrl+Alt+Backspace). How do I debug/fix this? Ideally I'd like the system to go into suspend-to-RAM on lid closure and then come back. If not possible, at least keep it on but don't freeze it. (Honestly I'm having too many hardware-related issues; I think I should try something more bleeding-edge like Fedora to see if these were fixed in the meantime?) -- Yours, Mikhail Ramendik Unless explicitly stated, all opinions in my mail are my own and do not reflect the views of any organization -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Virtualbox: two guest Linux machines with the same IP. How do I change it?
by Carlos E. R. 17 Jun '19

17 Jun '19

Hi, I cloned a virtual machine, telling it to change the MAC address. But Linux Leap 15.1 refuses to recognize the change of MAC and thus it gets the same IP from the router as the original. I'm using "Bridged Adapter" mode, in order to get internet and connect via ssh to the machine. I don't like bridged mode, but I don't know another mode that gets me both things in virtualbox. The host MAC is 00:21:85:16:2d:0b The guests MAC is 00:08:27:44:87:3a - on both guests. How can I force different MACs and thus different IPs? -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

[opensuse] zypper extremely slow
by Daniel Bauer 17 Jun '19

17 Jun '19

Hello, I would like to update my 42.3 computer that was deactivated for more than a year, but zypper up ix /extremely/ slow: it downloaded the first of 740 packages with a "speed" of 340 b/sec... I have a very fast fiber internet connection and browsing the web works perfectly, just zypper sleeps. Is there something wrong with download.opensuse? Or is it my router who doesn't like opensuse? Or what else could it be? (I tried on my laptop that usually works fast: same problem, over same router but wifi). -- Daniel Bauer photographer Basel Málaga https://www.patreon.com/danielbauer https://www.daniel-bauer.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] thunderbird enigmail delete receive rule from already deleted key
by Simon Becherer 17 Jun '19

17 Jun '19

Hi, i have had receive rule for different emailaddresses. these rules worked fine. now after this keys are outdated, i deleted them in enigmail/edit_keys. after that i got new valid key for this email addresses. if i now try to send to one of this addresses, normally it should (also without specific rule) find the valid key. but it did not. i think the reason is the old rule. if i select manually encrypt, it opened a window where i could manually select the new key for this emailaddess. and very at the end of the key list i see the old entry for this emailaddress, but marked with a empty red square. here i have no option to delete this entry. if i go direct over the menue enigmail/edit_receive_rule/ (where i could delete rules) this entry did NOT exist. so how to delete this (somehow in background still existing) entry manually????? thanks, simoN -- www.becherer.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Setting up JACK?
by Mikhail Ramendik 17 Jun '19

17 Jun '19

Hello, I would like to set up my Leap 15.1 system so that one program (GrandOrgue) uses the JACK audio server. For Web browsers etc, I'd rather have PulseAudio working through JACK, so that volume control is available for them; but before I get to that I need to run JACK. And for now there is no PulseAudio on the system and no sound in browsers. There is ALSA, and aplay works. hw:1,0 is the proper output so I had to create /etc/asound.conf. However, by default JACK is off. I had to install QJackCtl. If I just strat JACK, it fails. But if I go to setup, select the card, then start JACK, it succeeds, and then GrandOrgue works with it. So, question one: how can I make JACK start by default, ideally even before user login, and with the right card (hw:1,0) selected? And also, GrandOrgue, when configured for JACK, complains that it cannot use real-rime scheduling (RR/5) (1: Operation not permitted). So question 2: how do I fix this? (In Fedora this one gets fixed if you add the user to the jack group, but I see no jack group in OpenSUSE). -- Yours, Mikhail Ramendik Unless explicitly stated, all opinions in my mail are my own and do not reflect the views of any organization -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Configuring a default WLAN connection?
by Mikhail Ramendik 17 Jun '19

17 Jun '19

Hello, I am trying to create a very very lightweight OpenSuse environment, so as to give maximum resources to GrandOrgue for playing an organ. It will be running IceWM. I would still like to have the ability to go online from the same machine. But I don't want to run nm-applet at all times. Ideally I'd want to keep Network Manager, but to have a default connection for my home wi-fi, and only start nm-applet if I want some other network or if I am experiencing problems. So how can I set a default/system/etc Network Manager connection? -- Yours, Mikhail Ramendik Unless explicitly stated, all opinions in my mail are my own and do not reflect the views of any organization -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Major delays (in IceWM, TWM) with most any GUI window?
by Mikhail Ramendik 16 Jun '19

16 Jun '19

Hello, It turned out that nm-applet was not the only thing that triggers major delays in icewm in my new installation. Starting yast or vlc or firefox also leads to response becoming delayed by seconds and sometines minutes. Stopping the application does not help, only Ctrl+Alt+Backspace does. If I switcht to a virtual text terminal and run top, I see no significant CPU load. xterm does not cause the issue. Nor does icem's built-in Help. Nor XScreenSaver preferences. But I installed qt-creator - and it does cause the issue. So it's not just a gtk thing. Then I tried a TWM session and the issue happened (with yast) in that session as well.

[opensuse] Banish amdgpu video driver
by Mikhail Ramendik 16 Jun '19

16 Jun '19

Hello, I am suspecting that the "long delays" issue I am having is caused by the amdgpu video driver. However, I can not even test this, because I can't find a way to banish it. I tried adding a file with modesetting to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d ; no luck. I tried adding "blacklist amdgpu" to /etc/modprobe.d/50-blacklist.conf - no luck, the module still loads. How do I banish this driver to see if this resolves the issue? Also, the screen is a touch screen. So I suspect that with another driver I might lose the touch functionality. But first, I need to make sure whether this driver is at fault at all. -- Yours, Mikhail Ramendik Unless explicitly stated, all opinions in my mail are my own and do not reflect the views of any organization -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Making Windows 10 play ball with grub?
by Mikhail Ramendik 16 Jun '19

16 Jun '19

Hello, I have installed OpenSUSE 15.1 on a laptop where Windows 10 is already installed the boot system is EFI. GRUB includes a Windows Boot Manager option. However, if I reboot from Windows, I just get Windows. To get Grub, I need to hold Shift when rebooting, then select "Use a device" and then "OpenSUSE". How can I make every reboot show Grub? -- Yours, Mikhail Ramendik Unless explicitly stated, all opinions in my mail are my own and do not reflect the views of any organization -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
