[opensuse-support] Tumbleweed Question: how has been removed USB flash drives auto-mounting
by Marco Calistri 09 Jan '20

09 Jan '20

Hello, I remember clearly that some time ago not so many, as soon I plugged a USB FD in my laptop its file system went mounted automatically and the drive was accessible by the TW file-manager. Now this function has disappeared and I have to mount the USB FD manually or semi-manually using apps as UDISKIE. Would like to know why this functionality has been apparently removed or how it could have stopped to work since I have not modified anything. Thanks and regards, -- Marco Calistri Build: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20200103 Kernel: 5.3.12-2-default - Cinnamon 3.8.9

[opensuse-support] Unable to use microphone of Bluetooth headset
by Robert Munteanu 09 Jan '20

09 Jan '20

Hi, I am trying to get my headphones to work for audio calls. I am at the second pair, I thought the first one was buggy, but apparently a different model fails as well. I am doing my testing in Gnome. When I connect my headphones they are set in A2DP Sink (high fidelity playback). The input is set to the laptop's internal mic. If I switch the input to the bluetooth headsets, then sound no longer works. When testing audio I get a dialog with a single channel, and no reaction to the test button. The same happens if I change the configuration to HSP/HFP. Some technical data: Headset model: Bose NC 700 Headset firmware version: 1.3.1.2028.de73ce1 Laptop: P52, Intel Wireless-AC 9560 card OS data: $ rpm -q bluez pulseaudio bluez-5.52-2.1.x86_64 pulseaudio-13.0-3.1.x86_64 $ uname -r 5.3.12-2-default I have found a lot of confusing and/or outdated information searching the internet. Is this a bug/known issue? Or is there anything I can do to troubleshoot/fix?

Hi, within this e-mail I would like to inquire, if the following package for openSUSE Leap 15.1 ff can be made available: 1) android-tools https://software.opensuse.org/download.html?project=hardware&package=androi… Unfortunately the offered packages are only available for openSUSE Tumbleweed. On the other hand, the second necessary package: 2) android-udev-rules https://software.opensuse.org/download.html?project=hardware&package=androi… is available in different versions as *.src.rpm source package for openSUSE Leap 15.1 ff. I would appreciate to get an answer about this question and any possible further assistance.

Apologies for excluding the list in my earlier reply - Android ate the list address. The way I understand the Linux BT behavior - it is changing between low quality (3kHz) headset and "better" quality headphone profiles. That is why it sounds pretty bad once you enable headset mode. I personally find BT playback sound quality bad even in Android/windows. To my ears, it is good audio tape versus CD quality difference. I am not able to offer better advice/solution - So, I just avoid BT altogether and prefer wired connection for both quality and simplicity as well as privacy. So far, I managed to avoid phones and computers without audio jack.

[opensuse-support] TW KDM>SDDM=no DM (coredump)
by Felix Miata 06 Jan '20

06 Jan '20

I finally decided to allow SDDM (on an existing installation)for the first time since it was announced SDDM was to become default for KDE installations. I used zypper to remove the remnants of KDE4, then zypper in sddm sddm-branding-upstream I check with update-alternatives to find sddm had already been selected, then rebooted, with 5 instead of 3 on kernel cmdline. No DM at all, only login prompts on ttys1-6. I checked xdm and sddm with systemctl status. I found sddm disabled and xdm enabled, which I expected as xdm is how KDM3 and TDM are enabled. I tried zypper ve. That found the usual suspects, "broken" packages because either fonts I don't want installed would be, or because I refuse to allow glibc-locale to be installed (since glibc-locale-base should be sufficient[1,2]. glibc-locale is huge, and / has limited freespace) so I chose to keep all those broken. I allowed only other, plasma5-integration-plugin, to be added. Reboot, still no DM. So I tried using YaST2 from a Plasma session started with startx to see what else might be sddm-related, and selected to add kcm_sddm. That pulled in desktop-translations & ucode-intel with it. I rebooted, and still no DM. Finally I remembered to check the journal. SDDM coredump. Journal tail attached. Is this my fault rather than a bug? Does anyone else successfully use upstream SDM theme instead of openSUSE SDDM theme (without Plymouth installed)? Does this combination ever get QA tested? What next to do?

[opensuse-support] IPEVO camera (uvcvideo) no longer working on Tumbleweed
by Roger Whittaker 06 Jan '20

06 Jan '20

I have an IPEVO webcam / document camera, which used to work fine on Tumbleweed. Now it no longer does. In dmesg I see the following: [ 7.508511] uvcvideo: Found UVC 1.00 device IPEVO Point 2 View (1778:0214) [ 7.508607] uvcvideo: Failed to query (GET_INFO) UVC control 2 on unit 1: -32 (exp. 1).

The above is with kernel 5.3.12-2-default. Has anyone had similar problems or does anyone know how to solve this? Unfortunately I don't know exactly when (in terms of Tumbleweed versions) this stopped working. -- ============================ Roger Whittaker roger(a)disruptive.org.uk https://notes.smuvelious.org ============================ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner(a)opensuse.org
