[opensuse-support] Tumbleweed: usb: Cannot enable. Maybe the USB cable is bad?

Hi *, on my DELL XPS13 9370 I get the message usb usb10-port1: Cannot enable. Maybe the USB cable is bad? when connecting a device to the first (closer to the front) of the two Thunderbolt/USB-C ports on the left side. Is this a hardware problem or can it be a kernel driver problem? Thx. Bye. Michael. -- Michael Hirmke -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-support] Annoying issue with KDE panel / NetworkManager
by Till Dörges 03 Sep '19

03 Sep '19

Hello all, everything was working fine with a stock openSUSE Leap 15.0 installation. Since I went to Leap 15.1 'zypper dup' I experience issues with the KDE panel. There's one panel configured (among other things with an application launcher (the gecko icon), a task manager (i.e. a list of open windows), and a systray). After a certain time, some functions of the panel cease to work - for no apparent reason. Most notably autohide and the task manager (i.e. I can't jump to another window by just clicking on it). The application launcher or controlling a music player via its systray icon continue to work. My current workaround is: killall plasmashell ; sleep 3; plasmashell & but that leaves me with another annoying issue with Network Manager. After restarting plasmashell I cannot activate network connections that require a password. Normally a PW dialog for unlocking kwallet appears, but not after a restart. With journalctl I find this: --- snip --- Aug 28 12:37:21 box NetworkManager[28889]: <info> [1566988641.8457] device (wlan1): state change: prepare -> config (reason 'none', sys-iface-state: 'managed') Aug 28 12:37:21 box NetworkManager[28889]: <info> [1566988641.8467] device (wlan1): Activation: (wifi) access point 'WLANSSID' has security, but secrets are required. Aug 28 12:37:21 box NetworkManager[28889]: <info> [1566988641.8467] device (wlan1): state change: config -> need-auth (reason 'none', sys-iface-state: 'managed') Aug 28 12:37:21 box NetworkManager[28889]: <warn> [1566988641.8500] device (wlan1): No agents were available for this request. Aug 28 12:37:21 box NetworkManager[28889]: <info> [1566988641.8501] device (wlan1): state change: need-auth -> failed (reason 'no-secrets', sys-iface-state: 'managed') Aug 28 12:37:21 box NetworkManager[28889]: <warn> [1566988641.8511] device (wlan1): Activation: failed for connection 'WLANSSID' --- snap --- But I have no idea why there was no agent. Is this possibly another instance of https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1108570 ? So I guess, I'm looking for help in either preventing the panel from acting up or how to restart the panel such that NetworkManager can ask for a password. Any hints are greatly appreciated!

[opensuse-support] 'Moving' a running X session to another monitor
by Peter Suetterlin 02 Sep '19

02 Sep '19

Hi list, I wonder if here's some eXperts that know the solution to this: I have a small computer (for astronomy, mount and camera control) that is running openSUSE Tumbleweed. It usually has no monitor or keyboard connected. But it does run graphical.target with an icewm session (autologin). I'm using that via x11vnc_ssh to run the guiding software (phd2). Every now and then I'd like to do something at the mount and would like to see the session on a display that I connect to the (already running) computer. However, the X session won't display there :( I had tried also connecting a keyboard. I can use that to switch to a virtual console, and that is displayed on the newly connected monitor. As soon as I ALT-F7 back to X it goes black again :( Is there a way to get the session to display on a newly connected monitor? I've looked at various xrandr options, but they look quite confusing to a mere mortal :o Thanks for any hints/pointers! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-support] where can I retrieve the information given in virtual console F10?
by stakanov 01 Sep '19

01 Sep '19

When I go to ctl+alt+F10 I got a kind of journal. However, I was not able to find the information given neither in journalctl nor in dmesg. As there is an indication about a probable bug in alsa, I would to be able to recover the text. Thank you. _________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________ Ihre E-Mail-Postf�cher sicher & zentral an einem Ort.

by Matthias Brugger 01 Sep '19

01 Sep '19

Hi, I'm trying to delete snapshots in /.snapshots from my HDD using the rescue disk. mount shows me the partition mounted as rw but if I try to delete a file by hand it says: rm: cannot remove '<path-to-file>': Read-only file system I also tried snapper --no-dbus -r /mnt rm 44 I tried mounting the partition in the following ways: mount /dev/sda6 /mnt mount -o subvol=.snapshots /dev/sda6 /mnt mount -o recovery,nospace_cache,clear_cache /dev/sda6 /mnt But nothing helps. How can I get rid of the snapshots or any other files? Regards, Matthias

by Axel Braun 01 Sep '19

Hi, while checking the diskspace I found tons of fragements from pld kernels - back int the 4.18.x day in /boot. Should there not be a regular job that purges old kernels (and what belons to it)?
