Video Intel awaking w wrong Brightness level
by Marco Calistri 28 May '23

28 May '23

Hello, I've been able to set a specific brightness intensity at evry boot, by using an /etc/init.d/after.local script, but anytime my system awakes from suspended mode, the brightness resets to a very high intensity. from dmesg I see: [ 3.128757] i915 0000:00:02.0: [drm] Skipping intel_backlight registration [ 33.797331] ideapad_acpi VPC2004:00: Keyboard backlight control not available [28383.336476] video LNXVIDEO:00: Restoring backlight state How could I resolve this? Which file is used by Tumbleweed for an after suspend brightness adjustment? Thanks and regards, -- Marco Calistri Build: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20230213 Kernel: 6.1.10-1-default - XFCE: (4.18.1)

Desktop background etc. gone
by Jogchum Reitsma 05 Apr '23

05 Apr '23

Hi, On a 15.2 box, KDE Plasma, suddenly the background of the (two) screens, the ordering of desktop icons, and, more pityful, also all the notes on the desktop are gone. Is there any chance to get that back? Does Plasma save older sessions, like e.g. firefox does? I can't find anything related in ~/.config/plasma* files. Any ideas? Thanks in advance, regards, Jogchum

moving from lilo boot to grub2...how to? Safely?
by L. A. Walsh 30 Mar '23

30 Mar '23

I have a lilo install that no longer works for adding new kernels. So was suggested I move to grub2. I found rpms and installed, but now what? Anything for grub2 to take defaults from lilo? Or, how do I configure grub2 to boot my existing images? A reminder... a lilo entry that works (running off of now): image = /boot/vmlinuz-5.14.7-Ish-Van label = 5147-Ish-Van append = "rw showopts console=ttyS0,115200n8 console=tty0 printk.time=1 initcall_debug i8042.noaux net.ifnames=0 biosdevname=0 mitigations=off nsmap" root = /dev/sdd2 How would I get grub2 to do the same? Is there a way to setup grub to offer a menu of several previous kernels as well? Also, right now, some of the labels use different root devices (like /dev/sdc2 instead of /dev/sdd2). These are for error recovery when a missing disk has resulted in the root being on a different device. Does grub have something similar to allow me to boot off a different device? Also, FWIW, my previous routine after copying a new kernel to /boot and its modules to /lib/modules, was to run lilo, to update the kernel maps (didn't really care about the modules). That was it. There is no ram disk that it copied or booted from -- it just booted from the raw device. I'd prefer to keep it simple and not use a ram disk as lilo just used the BIOS disk read routines to read the needed sectors into memory and any other devices were built-in to the kernel. Can grub handle that? Thanks much!

15.4, how to repair a malfunctioning system - offline usb key re-install or something?
by cagsm 29 Mar '23

29 Mar '23

Support, some days ago, I probably have had power problems at a remote far away leap 15.4 system. I was kind of in the middle of zypper up fun things were that apparently there were some rpm db corruptions, which I rebuilt, but then more stuff, such as openssl_1_1_1 was installed twice on the system so it showed with a query, I never seen such thing before. also some further zypper ref or zypper up showed conflicts speaking about dependancies missing but stuff already been downloaded into the cache then again it didnt want to update or install some packages from the recent days updates. then i went into yast and its software management, and searched for openssl and it had those two lines openssl_1_1_1 one with the "i" same other package further below with "a-" which it wanted to remove? at the end now this system is still connected to by a remote ssh shell, but i can not execute rpm any more, it complains about libgrypt.so.20 missing is it still possible to fix this dang machine from far this way? i can not create additional ssh logins into this machine at the moment, only the still existing established connection I currently have. i have fetched the latest leap 15.4 x64 iso the updated one from get.opensuse.org or so I figure, from februar this year. can i easily fix this machine by booting into the usb key and the leap 15.4 installer and make it install over the somewhat messed up broken 15.4 machine? what would be a simple way to fix things? does the installer check and support kind of a repairing the already installed 15.4 system and so on? thanks for helpers in this matter.

Plymouth graphic bootsplash gone.
by Marco Calistri 27 Mar '23

27 Mar '23

I remember that some years ago, by running the same hardware which I'm using now, the Plymouth boot-splash was running flawlessly. Yesterday I wanted to enable it again, but I noticed that it stopped working. At boot I see just the textual boot-splash (Tumbleweed Logo). Note: I'm using an Intel video card (i915 driver). I've googled a bit and it seems that this is a diffused issue. Any news about it? -- Marco Calistri Build: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20230325 Kernel: 6.2.8-1-default - XFCE: (4.18.1)

Tumbleweed: Bluetooth File Transfer is "Buggy"
by Marco Calistri 18 Mar '23

18 Mar '23

Hello, I will not go to open another bug-report for this issue, since I guess it being spread away on many different systems around, independently of the specific hardware. Bluetooth file transfer in TW works only for an unidirectional way: from external device to the computer and not vice-versa. rpm -qa|grep blue NetworkManager-bluetooth-1.42.2-1.1.x86_64 bluez-auto-enable-devices-5.66-1.4.noarch kernel-firmware-bluetooth-20230210-1.1.noarch bluez-firmware-1.2-150.1.x86_64 libbluetooth3-5.66-1.4.x86_64 bluez-obexd-5.66-1.4.x86_64 bluez-5.66-1.4.x86_64 bluez-cups-5.66-1.4.x86_64 thunar-sendto-blueman-2.3.5-1.1.noarch blueman-lang-2.3.5-1.1.noarch bluez-qt-imports-5.103.0-1.1.x86_64 blueman-2.3.5-1.1.x86_64 How many users are having same issue?

Hi - Just an fyi, when trying to upgrade TW today, zypper is reporting incompatibilities with a couple of GeoApps packages: /***** Problem: problem with the installed libgeos3_11_1-3.11.1-52.13.x86_64 Solution 1: install libgeos3_11_1-3.11.1-1.1.x86_64 from vendor openSUSE replacing libgeos3_11_1-3.11.1-52.13.x86_64 from vendor obs:// build.opensuse.org/Application:Geo Solution 2: keep obsolete libgeos3_11_1-3.11.1-52.13.x86_64 Problem: problem with the installed libqwt6_2-6.2.0-5.88.x86_64 ****/ I'm currently on the 6.2.1-1-default kernel. Should I post this to the Application:Geo maintainers (at https:// build.opensuse.org/project/show/Application:Geo), or is this list the right place? Thanks.

Compiling a kernel module on Leap 15.4
by Bjoern Voigt 16 Mar '23

16 Mar '23

I successfully run OpenVPN 2.6.1 with DCO kernel module on Tumbleweed. Now I wanted to compile the DCO kernel module for the current Kernel:stable:Backport kernel on Leap 15.4. Unfortunately this fails. In a Fedora forum they said, that the C compiler for the module must match the C compiler for the kernel. The warning says the same. This is probably not the case for Leap 15.3 GCC (7.5.0) and the Kernel:stable:Backport GCC. How I can solve this? I already installed gcc11, but export CC=/usr/bin/gcc-11 does not change anything. myuser@mybox:/var/soft/ovpn-dco> uname -r 6.2.2-lp154.4.g4752516-default myuser@mybox:/var/soft/ovpn-dco> git remote -v origin https://github.com/OpenVPN/ovpn-dco.git (fetch) origin https://github.com/OpenVPN/ovpn-dco.git (push) myuser@mybox:/var/soft/ovpn-dco> export CC=/usr/bin/gcc-11 myuser@mybox:/var/soft/ovpn-dco> make /var/soft/ovpn-dco/gen-compat-autoconf.sh /var/soft/ovpn-dco/compat-autoconf.h make -C /lib/modules/6.2.2-lp154.4.g4752516-default/build M=/var/soft/ovpn-dco PWD=/var/soft/ovpn-dco REVISION=0.1.20230206 CONFIG_OVPN_DCO=m INSTALL_MOD_DIR=updates/ modules make[1]: Entering directory '/usr/src/linux-6.2.2-lp154.4.g4752516-obj/x86_64/default' warning: the compiler differs from the one used to build the kernel The kernel was built by: gcc (SUSE Linux) 11.3.0 You are using: gcc (SUSE Linux) 7.5.0 CC [M] /var/soft/ovpn-dco/drivers/net/ovpn-dco/main.o gcc: error: unrecognized command line option ‘-mharden-sls=all’; did you mean ‘-mhard-float’? make[3]: *** [/usr/src/linux-6.2.2-lp154.4.g4752516/scripts/Makefile.build:253: /var/soft/ovpn-dco/drivers/net/ovpn-dco/main.o] Error 1 make[2]: *** [/usr/src/linux-6.2.2-lp154.4.g4752516/scripts/Makefile.build:505: /var/soft/ovpn-dco/drivers/net/ovpn-dco] Error 2 make[1]: *** [../../../linux-6.2.2-lp154.4.g4752516/Makefile:2036: /var/soft/ovpn-dco] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory '/usr/src/linux-6.2.2-lp154.4.g4752516-obj/x86_64/default' make: *** [Makefile:52: all] Error 2 Björn
