Yast-sound module gone
by Jogchum Reitsma 22 Feb '23

22 Feb '23

Referring to tho posting of Josef Reidinger on the opensuse-factory list (Drop of yast2-sound; 25-01-2023), yast sound was the only way I had to get my bluetooth headphone working. Just touch the modules, and restart them, and the bluetooth device appeared in the list of sound devices (it was always found as a bluetooth device already). It was a little annoying, but since I reboot the machine only one in 2-3 weeks, it was not a big problem. So for me, it's a real pity yast-sound has gone. In the aforementioned discussion, pipewire was mentioned as a way to solve these things, at least, that was how understood it. So I looked for it in yast-software (hope that's not on the vanishing list 😁), to find a lot of pipewire was installed already. qpwgraph was not installed, so I installed it. But, is it that I am on pipewire now? pactl gives pactl info Server tekenreeks: /run/user/1000/pulse/native Bibliotheek protocolversie: 35 Server protocolversie: 35 Is Local: ja Cliënt-index: 37 Tegelgrootte: 65472 Gebruikersnaam: jogchum Hostnaam: linux-mkay Servernaam: pulseaudio Serverversie: 16.1 Standaard-bemonsteringsspecificatie: s16le 2ch 44100Hz Standaard-kanalenkaart: front-left,front-right Standaardafvoer: alsa_output.pci-0000_08_04.0.analog-stereo Standaardbron: alsa_input.pci-0000_08_04.0.analog-stereo Cookie: b708:1170 I started qpwgraph to find a nice looking bunch of loose hanging blocks, which you can relocate, without documentation of how to use it. Two of the blocks show my headphone, so that's progress I suppose. Looked for documentation of pipewire, to find a bunch of examples of programs I don't know what to do with. So how does a plain user enable a bluetooth headphone in this situation? Thins are getting rather complicated.... Any help appreciated! regards, Jogchum

by Jogchum Reitsma 21 Feb '23

21 Feb '23

Hi, After zypper dup'ing TW yesterday, on reboot Thunderbird and Firefox show a barely readable tiny font (I have 4k screens). Changing the font type/size in the preferences doesn't change anything. Any idea how to overcome this? regards, Jogchum

Libraries directory /usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-suse-linux/7/32/ for Leap 15.1
by Tim Cox 19 Feb '23

19 Feb '23

Good morning Is there a clean way of downloading the files in directory /usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-suse-linux/7/32/ for Leap 15.1, without wrecking 64-bit compilation ? Have these files changed since February 2020 ? I very simply need to do 32-bit and 64-bit builds, on practical rather than ideological grounds I’ve found all the headers and libraries I need, but I think it’s surprising that downloads of three years ago for gcc 7.5.0 on Leap 15.1 are more complete than downloads now of gcc 7.5.0 on Leap 15.1, and I wonder if anything changed in that time apart from suppressing parts that I use of gcc. And whether there is a clean and authorised way of downloading those libraries Best regards Tim Cox Neuchâtel, Switzerland +41 32 543 19 27

overriding hostname in wicked-dhcp?
by Brian Reichert 17 Feb '23

17 Feb '23

This isn't specific to OpenSUSE, so I'm open to being told to look elsewhere. My goal: if the DHCP server does not provide a hostname, I want to synthesize one from the IPv4 address I'm getting. Using the classic ISC DHCP client (dhclient), this is easy; you create an exit-hook script, and that script has access to all of the details of the lease, so I can selectively override the processing of the lease; e.g.: case "$reason" in BOUND|RENEW|REBIND|REBOOT) if [ -z "$new_host_name" ]; then new_host_name=${new_ip_address//./-} hostnamectl set-hostname $new_host_name fi ;; esac Easy-peasy. (Yes, an enter-hook might be a better place, but you get the gist.) However, OpenSUSE uses wicked to manage DHCP configuration. I know it has a scripting mechanism, but I can't quickly find a way to accomplish the above in wicked. Any pointers? Or suggestions to other forums where this question is more appropriate? -- Brian Reichert <reichert(a)numachi.com> BSD admin/developer at large

blank screen with Radeon RX 5700
by Adam Mizerski 17 Feb '23

17 Feb '23

Few days ago my Radeon RX 5700 after 3 years of working absolutely fine, kind of stopped working. The symptoms are: - At BIOS and GRUB there is video output. - If I run the system with "nomodeset" kernel option, then there is video output (obviously without acceleration and limited to low resolution). - It's not a faulty cable, because I tested it with other cables. I usually use HDMI cable, but with DisplayPort it's the same. - It's not a faulty monitor, because I use it also with my laptop on a second input. - If I put my card into another computer with Windows, it works with acceleration, like there's nothing wrong. - But if I start my Tumbleweed with amdgpu drivers, then as soon as kernel loads drm driver (so it's even before Xorg starts), the screen goes blank (the monitor shows "no signal" and shuts off). It doesn't matter if I boot my Tumbleweed with current or previous kernel. It doesn't matter if it's my Tumbleweed or a Leap 15.4 booted from usb stick. dmesg: https://paste.opensuse.org/pastes/c4df53bb0f7a It says: amdgpu 0000:09:00.0: [drm] Cannot find any crtc or sizes Xorg.0.log: https://paste.opensuse.org/pastes/e9bd760602d1 It says: (WW) AMDGPU(0): Unable to find connected outputs I also tried: - remove "quiet", remove "splash=silent", and append "plymouth.enable=0" (as written at https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Nomodeset:_Work_Around_Graphic_Upgrade_&_Instal…) - nothing changed - amdgpu.dc=0 - screen stays on, but shows nothing (just black) Anyone has any ideas what to do next?

Printer driver HP Color Laser 178nw
by Jogchum Reitsma 17 Feb '23

17 Feb '23

Hi, I am trying to install a HP Color Laser 178nw Cups (and also lsusb) sees the printer, but I can't find a driver for it. The list of printer cups, and also the HP support website, is long, but I no Color Laser 178nw. On the HP support site no driver can be found at all, regardless the choice of OS. The openprinting.org site also shows no Color Laser 178nw. It was bought very recently, so I wouldn't think it's a too old model. Anyone an idea how to get this beast to work? Thanks i advance, Jogchum

However it gets stuck at the green loading drivers screen. I'm booting from a USB drive using an ISO I created wit Rufus. I'm trying to do this on a Windows 11 machine that has two SSD drives. One is running Windows, the other I'm trying to install openSUSE. Here are my hardware specs: Motherboard: ASROCK CPU: Intel i5 6th generation RAM: 16GB Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER. Please help.
