ping: socket: Operation not permitted

My three computers have the Leap 15.3 operating system. On one of them, only root can invoke ping. When a normal user tries to do so, ping is not executed, but this error message is displayed: ping: socket: Operation not permitted What does it mean? Any remedy? Best regards, Wolfgang

getting a replacement drive
by George from the tribe 16 Aug '21

16 Aug '21

I have just bought an ASUS Zenbook flip s, refurbished, and the storage it says it has on the specs is a 1TB PCIe NVMe M.2 SSD. It is supposed to arrive in a couple of days. When I get it, I am thinking of taking the existing drive out and replacing it with a blank 1TB PCIe NVMe M.2 SSD, and then installing openSUSE on that, and not having Windows at all, no dual boot, pure Linux. That way if there is a hardware problem, I can put the original it came with back in and send it in on warranty, and they can't say anything. After the warranty runs out I will have an extra drive. It's a bit of an extra expense, but probably worth it to me. So as I am looking at the various 1TB drives available with the M.2 form factor, I see several options. Some say V-NAND technology, others say 3D NAND, and some say speeds up to 3470 MB/sec and others 2400 MB/sec, and others don't mention speeds. In general I would prefer higher speed, if the other hardware on my new flipbook would support it. But I was wondering if anyone has some experience in buying a replacement drive like this for a laptop or 2-in-1 with the form factor M.2, and if you might have any suggestions on what I should look for. -- George Box: 15.2 | Plasma 5 | AMD Phenom IIX4 | 64 | 32GB Laptop #1: 15.2 | Plasma 5 | AMD FX 7TH GEN | 64 | 32GB Laptop #2: 15.2 | Plasma 5 | Core i5 | 64 | 8GB

kscreen options on tumbleweed
by jdd＠dodin.org 14 Aug '21

14 Aug '21

Hello, Tumbleweed user :-) I ask you because I have no TW at hand :-( (I work with Leap). Multi monitor, intel driver. in the kscreen menu (something like kde setup, screen), with the grafical way to set up several screens, can you set a scale below 10%? that is for example 50%? (no need to test the feature, I only need to know if it's available) this gives smaller content on same full screen. Presently, on Leap, I have to make tricks to get this result, but I just notice that Fedora (just installed) allows this natively. thanks for help jdd -- http://dodin.org

setup HP 2755 wireless (only!) printer--how
by Douglas McGarrett 09 Aug '21

09 Aug '21

Bought an HP printer to act as backup, but can't figure out how to install it in Linux. I didn't realize it would be wireless ONLY! (And I thought HP was foolproof!) The Yast installer can't find it. I went thru the Windows setup routine when I got it, to make sure the wireless crap works, and it does, with the wireless/wired router. Printer is DeskJet 2755e. Somewhere along the line I asked whether the printer was compatible with Linux, and was told it is, but their install routine only mentions Windows and Mac, as usual. YaST can't find it. I'd probably have a hard time returning it, since it was encased in form-fitting plastic! If it's any help, nmap shows an unknown device. This is definitely the printer, since it no longer responds if I turn it off. Nmap scan report for 192.168.0.103 Host is up (0.0043s latency). MAC Address: 14:CB:19:62:68:71 (Unknown) Will try and call HP on Monday, but experience tells me that whoever I get will know nothing about Linux. Any HP wireless guru out there? --doug
