OK, I gave up on Windows and assumed that I could get my laptop running with Suse.
It is openSUSE, not Suse. They are not the same thing.
know. So, I went back to Suse and after getting the network up again, I went through the enormous online update. That fixed the network disconnection problem!!!
This is common. Install, then update; always.
Next I had used a Samba mount to save my M$ files to my desktop. I couldn't get Samba running from either Ubuntu or Suse as client, and NFS turned out to be a huge time investment. I remember the days when I just typed in the server and client information and it just worked. After quite a few hours I hit on the right combination and that is working just fine too.
It does just work, what was specifically the issue? In nautilus I go to smb://username@hostname/sharename, and it 'just works'.
The webcam works right out of the box too, so life is now good.
You've got one up on me. My webcam doesn't do anything - although to be fair I've made no attempt at making it work. Running Cheese is the one way I can throw gnome-shell into a tail-spin. I don't even see a candidate device in lspci or lsusb.
I'm a very happy camper.
