[opensuse-support] How to troubleshoot my laptops strange wifi problem
by Dave Plater 07 Feb '19

07 Feb '19

Hi, because my HP pavilion type 15-bs@xx already needed a newer than Leap 15.0's kernel and an RTL8723DE wifi that will only be available in the 5 series kernel I decided to upgrade to Tumbleweed. I have a huawei E5573Cs-609 4G modem with the SSID hidden, because it seems that wifi hacking tools are readily available. This supplies a Tplink TL-WA850RE range extender with an ether net cable to my main pc and an advertised SSID which supplies my laptop, a raspberry pi and several cell phones with internet. It's never been hacked for some strange reason. After I upgraded to Tumbleweed my wifi carried on functioning but after my last two zypper dup's the laptop will no longer lock onto the TL-WA850RE's signal. I've tried both wicked and network manager, I have an nfs server running on the laptop so I normally use wicked. Windows 10 has no problem with the tplink but openSUSE Tumbleweed will only lock on to the hidden SSID from the E5573C iw dev wlo1 scan picks up the TL-WA850RE with a healthy -28.00 dBm along with various neighbors's routers, the hidden E5573Cs which lives at the other end of the house only gives -64.00 dBm. systemctl status network outputs for both devices: https://paste.opensuse.org/83073878 wlo1 never gets past setup-in-progress.

(I suppose this should also have gone to the list - not sure what your problem with my mails is, when I L-reply to myself I do get opensuse-support(a)opensuse.org as send-to....)

Well, batch processing is not using the whole memory in a go, but does it one by one (I rather refer to this PS/GIMP/Darktable processing as 'Photo Retouching'). I'm really talking about having a 3D data cube of a few hundred 4600x3500 float images and doing stuff like FFT analysis and such on it where you really need access to all data 'at once'. > what software are you using? I use IDL. I.e., some programing language. Might as well be C or Python... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-support] Can not change laptop screen brightness via its keys
by Carlos E. R. 05 Feb '19

05 Feb '19

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hi, XFCE, Leap 15.0 The laptop for some reason goes dark, and the keys to increase brightness do not work. I see this in the log, probably in response to my key press (but later, not the same instant): <10.5> 2019-02-05 02:02:15 minas-tirith pkexec 22358 - - cer: Executing command [USER=root] [TTY=unknown] [CWD=/] [COMMAND=/usr/sbin/xfpm-power-backlight-helper --set-brightness 0] and other numbers. Attempts to run the command on the cli fail. First, it complains that I have to be root. If root, then it complains something else: minas-tirith:~ # /usr/sbin/xfpm-power-backlight-helper --set-brightness 9 This program must only be run through pkexec minas-tirith:~ # That seems to do the trick: minas-tirith:~ # pkexec /usr/sbin/xfpm-power-backlight-helper --set-brightness 9 minas-tirith:~ The log responds: <3.6> 2019-02-05 02:10:15 minas-tirith dbus-daemon 4099 - - [session uid=1000 pid=4099] Activating service name='org.freedesktop.Notifications' requested by ':1.32' (uid=1000 pid=4252 comm="xfce4-power-manager --restart --sm-client-id 223bb") <10.7> 2019-02-05 02:10:32 minas-tirith pkexec - - - pam_systemd(polkit-1:session): Cannot create session: Already running in a session or user slice <10.6> 2019-02-05 02:10:32 minas-tirith pkexec - - - pam_unix(polkit-1:session): session opened for user root by (uid=0) <10.5> 2019-02-05 02:10:32 minas-tirith pkexec 22778 - - root: Executing command [USER=root] [TTY=/dev/pts/12] [CWD=/root] [COMMAND=/usr/sbin/xfpm-power-backlight-helper --set-brightness 9] <10.7> 2019-02-05 02:10:40 minas-tirith pkexec - - - pam_systemd(polkit-1:session): Cannot create session: Already running in a session or user slice <10.6> 2019-02-05 02:10:40 minas-tirith pkexec - - - pam_unix(polkit-1:session): session opened for user root by (uid=1000) <10.5> 2019-02-05 02:10:40 minas-tirith pkexec 22786 - - cer: Executing command [USER=root] [TTY=unknown] [CWD=/] [COMMAND=/usr/sbin/xfpm-power-backlight-helper --set-brightness 8] But as you see in the log, something is pusshing brightnees down automatically after I push it up! Damm it! Every 20" it goes down one notch, till it reaches 0. No, I'm not on battery. I have to keep running the command in a loop wit "watch" to keep it up. :-// This is stupid and horrible. - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.
