So I have now installed 15.2 on all 3 pcs that I regularly use... All
overall very happy with the new system...
On my desktop only, I have had some issues with the system slowing down
and locking up. It seems to be related to plasma. My desktop has an
nvidia graphics card and I run 3 monitors off of it.
For background on the setup, I read somewhere, I think in the forums,
something about disabling an Xorg file or something like that, so that
the graphics driver it uses is the one that is part of the kernel? It
had me do something that disabled making it point to nouveau or a
proprietary nvidia driver, but I can't remember what I did. In any case,
the system seems to work ok except that sometimes I seem to get these
intermittent hangs. (If anyone can remember the link to the tutorial
that described that procedure that would be great, because I am kicking
myself now for not having bookmarked it.)
So I decided to fully reset kde by removing the .config directory and
set everything up again from scratch.
I have run into a snag in the setup now. I like to set a slideshow for
my desktop to pictures on my hard disk that I have taken. I noticed
that when configuring the desktop, the new applet for 15.2 provides a
thumbnail preview for every single picture that is added in when setting
up a slideshow. This is where the snag hits, and I think I know why.
If I add a directory that just has 30 or so pictures, or even up to 100
or so pictures, it is no big deal. The system finds all the pictures
right away, makes thumbnails and puts the thumbnails in the preview
pane, and within a couple of seconds everything is fine.
The problem comes when I add one of my pictures directories that has
thousands and thousands of pictures. Because the applet is built so that
it won't let you out until it has retrieved thumbnails for every single
picture in every subdirectory, it locks up plasma. For a long time. A
really long time. I haven't found out how long because I have to kill X
every time with ctrl-alt-double backspace after 15 minutes or so.
It clearly doesn't need to put preview thumbnails for all 30,000
pictures in that little applet. Perhaps someone on the development team
could modify the way it looks at that? Do I need to send this to KDE
instead of noting it here?
I haven't tried setting up a slideshow on my other 2 pcs, which are both
laptops and neither one uses nvidia, so I don't know for sure if the
problem is more with nvidia on my desktop or with the way the applet is
coded.
Thanks,
George

On a different computer, I installed leap, just to see what it offered.
It got very little use,
but was left in sleep mode until I tried to bring it up today. It came
up, but it was unhappy--
things in the GUI didn't work. Rebooted. Came up black screen with mouse
cursor in center.
Long story short, nothing I tried, including rescue mode (or whatever
it's called) brought
back normal operation. Finally put install disk in and tried rescue, but
it asks for login: and password:
tried my username and my password from when the system worked, but it
doesn't want that.
If someone knows what it wants, I'll go on from there. otherwise, maybe
just put the Windows
drive back and forget it.

Hi,
I see that "Mozilla Thunderbird 78.4" has been announced as an "automatic"
or security update for Leap 15.1.
Isn't this premature, is this safe already?
Shouldn't users be warned about it?

Sorry about the length of this, but I need to explain the setting.
The machine is a brand new Intel i7, UEFI with NVMe and SATA SSDs in GPT
mode. It carries two installations of Leap 15.2 (one for production and
one to play with); and one installation of Tumbleweed. Each of these is
stand-alone with its own separate / and /home, on ext4 filesystems
throughout.
It was all going well, but then I made a silly mistake. When booted
externally into Parted Magic from a USB stick I accidentally deleted a
data partition on one of the drives with gparted. I’ve managed to
reinstate the partition and its contents from backups, but the error has
meant I could no longer boot into any of the internal systems installed.
I just got thrown to a Dracut emergency shell and “enter root
password for maintenance”.
I’ve now reinstalled one of the Leaps from scratch, and it’s working.
But the other Leap and the Tumbleweed aren’t. To cut a long story
short, in each case the journal ends with dracut timeout errors; and
there are messages that “not all disks have been found” and “you might
want to regenerate your initramfs”. From this it seems a fair bet that
something to do with the external deletion and renewal of the partition
with gparted has confused the installed kernel(s).
I’d prefer to fix this without re-installations. If there’s a way of
invoking either mkinitramfs or dracut from the Dracut emergency shell, I
can’t find it. Is there?
Alternatively, is there a way of rebuilding the initramfs in the two
errant installations when booted to the one that works?
Or is there some other fix that will avoid starting over and
reinstalling everything from scratch?
(Please understand that, being an 84-year-old novice in these matters, I
am only partly knowledgeable and would appreciate simplicity.)

Hi,
I've just got a new laptop and installed Leap 15.2 on it, got it updated right
after installation and began setting my environment when I noticed that the
Display Layout change action (osd) was triggered without me pulsing the combo
keys (Fn+F9 in this hardware),
At first, I noticed it popped up after 2:30 minutes (sharp). After a while, I
discovered it happened also when unplugging the charger, and when plugging it
back.
At the moment this is no critical for me to keep working on the laptop. but
sure it is annoying, and some applications won't work properly if this trigger
keeps happening, like the screensaver/dimmer (detects activity and never
activates) or rsibreak (detects activity and resets counters)
Do you know what the reason for this might be, and where to start to look for
fixing this?
OS: Leap 15.2 (5.3.18-lp152.44-default), KDE Plasma
System: SCHENKER VIA 15 Pro (AMD Ryzen 5 4600H with Radeon Graphics)
You can find some logs attached,
Thanks in advance
Francisco
Digging a bit deeper than before:
I am looking into the information appearing in epkowa.conf. I already know
that this file must be introduced into /etc/sane.d/ and I have done so.
# For each network attached device, you must add an entry as follows:
#
# net <IP-address | hostname> [port-number]
# Ask your network administrator for the device's IP address or check
# for yourself on the panel (if it has one). The port-number is very
# optional and defaults to 1865.
# Note that network attached devices are not queried unless configured
# in this file.
#
# Examples:
#
#net 192.16.136.2 1865
#net 10.0.0.1
#net scanner.mydomain.com
I know the net IP address; it is a fixed address of 192.168.1.26.
( My user name is doug; the computer name is linux1; or does it want
the printer name? What is "my domain?")
It shows examples, none of which completely agree with the above
"requirements."
Looking for a suggestion as to how to fill in the blanks.
Thanx for your assistance--doug

I've tried changing my os-release ID to opensuse rather than opensuse-leap
trying to bypass the OS check, but not to avail.
Also, in the documentation recommends to report this via bug report at
freedestop.org's bugzilla, but that is already shutdown, and I fail to find
a
proper GIT repo for AMD to report this,
My system is an AMD Ryzen 5 4600H with Radeon Graphics with 04:00.0 VGA
compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Renoir (rev
c7)
Could you shed light on how to get the driver installed on my system?
Hi,
I have a Brother scanner ADS-1700W, which works under Leap 15.2
There is an older and a newer driver, the older works in Leap.
Some time ago I could get the older driver somehow working in Tumbleweed.
But after a fresh Tumbleweed installation Yast doesn't even install it:
Here are the error messages driver: older - younger
---------------------------------------
error messages/driver works in Leap:

Both drivers seem to have the a problem with libstdc++6, which is installed.
Any ideas?

After a recent upgrade of Tumbleweed Firefox is not usable anymore. It takes
almost 100% of the CPU and keeps indicating loading a page.
When I close it it asks for a problem report to Mozilla.
Is it possible to replace the current version to an older, working version in
the repository?
