Getting the source from Git and make/install works perfectly on TW will not even make in Leap, sorry forgot to not the error but was related to the redefinition of a variable. Just ping me if you need any other tests. Ariez ajv(a)opensuse.org

Cups socket activation fails
by Bjoern Voigt 02 Jul '21

02 Jul '21

To save resources I tried to switch to the CUPS socket activation setup. According to the Arch Wiki (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/CUPS#Socket_activation) two steps are necessary for this (enable cups.socket and disable cups.service). # systemctl enable --now cups.socket Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/sockets.target.wants/cups.socket → /etc/systemd/system/cups.socket. # systemctl disable --now cups.service Removed /etc/systemd/system/sockets.target.wants/cups.socket. # systemctl status cups.socket ● cups.socket - CUPS Scheduler Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/cups.socket; disabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: inactive (dead) Triggers: ● cups.service Listen: /run/cups/cups.sock (Stream) [::]:631 (Stream) Unfortunately the connection to CUPS fails (at least after reboot), both with the browser (http://localhost:631/) and with tools like "lpstat". "systemctl start cups.service" of course solves this, but socket activation should work without enabling the service unit itself. What is wrong here or is this function buggy in openSUSE TW? I use the a current TW installation. Greetings, Björn

Help - Realtek RTL8852AE WiFi

Folks, I'm really desperate now... got a new laptop Lenovo L15 AMD Ryzen 7 :) really super in every way **except the WiFi** no matter what I try Leap 15.3 or Tumbleweed just can't get the WiFi going. I got the machine as it is Ubuntu certified so thought should be ok. Googling seems to suggest it works under Ubuntu, but no matter what I try just cant get this WiFi going under openSUSE seems the driver from Realtek is up to version 4.x but can't find any trace of it on openSUSE. FYI lspci and hwinfo below. lspci grep 8852 03:00.0 Network controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. Device 8852 hwinfo --netcard 07: PCI 300.0: 0280 Network controller [Created at pci.386] Unique ID: svHJ.lTCK_+KOKi9 Parent ID: aYFK.1qAv6Us7QUA SysFS ID: /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.3/0000:03:00.0 SysFS BusID: 0000:03:00.0 Hardware Class: network Model: "Realtek Network controller" Vendor: pci 0x10ec "Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd." Device: pci 0x8852 SubVendor: pci 0x17aa "Lenovo" SubDevice: pci 0x4852 I/O Ports: 0x2000-0x2fff (rw,disabled) Memory Range: 0xfd500000-0xfd5fffff (rw,non-prefetchable,disabled) IRQ: 255 (no events) Module Alias: "pci:v000010ECd00008852sv000017AAsd00004852bc02sc80i00" Config Status: cfg=no, avail=yes, need=no, active=unknown Attached to: #14 (PCI bridge) I have got the driver from https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git… but can't get modprobe to load it!!! Anyone got any idea how to get this working? -- Cheers and may thanks in advance, Ariez ajv(a)opensuse.org

vpn
by Douglas McGarrett 01 Jul '21

01 Jul '21

I have had some evidence of a lack of privacy in my system, and I have a couple of questions. This lack of privacy is a function of the internet, not some person having physical access to the computer. I realize that a vpn will definitely work with email, but will it work with Thunderbird? And will it work with vendors on the 'net? Can one access (for example) Amazon, peruse a category and purchase an item from them via vpn? Is it vendor neutral, so it works with any vendor of any type of product? Assuming the answers to the previous questions are positive, which vpn would be easiest to set up and to use in practice, without being a 'nix guru? Thanx for any comments--doug

Both Postgres 12 and 13 installed in Leap 15.3?
by Maximilian Trummer 01 Jul '21

I noticed that when you install "postgresql-server" in Leap 15.3, it will pull in both Postgres 12 and 13. Is this intentional or a bug? regards

kernel 5.13.x and nfs
by mh＠mike.franken.de 01 Jul '21

01 Jul '21

Hi *, just a hint. There seems to be a problem with kernel 5.13.x and nfs (at least v4). Using this kernel, nfs v4 mounts won't succeed any longer - they are just hanging. I found https://lkml.org/lkml/2021/6/29/218, but no solution. Switching back to 5.12.x solves the problem. Bye. Michael.

by JJM de Faber 01 Jul '21

01 Jul '21

Using: Leap15.3 KDE, up to date. using Firefox no video is playing in firefox, only still image. Using Leap15.2 or Tumbleweed video is playing in Firefox. Reinstall or using a fresh account does not solve the problem. Doe anybody know about this problem or have a solution ? thanks, Hans
