Video recording
by eddie 04 Oct '23

04 Oct '23

Hi I am trying to record a video from my webcam. Guvcview does a nice job recording the video but is unable to record sound. I have a logitech c920 webcam and I've tried several other programs with similar or worse results. Perhaps the best so far other than guvcview is perhaps obs studio but the lag in the video is terrible. Just wondering if anyone else has successfully recorded a video from their webcam including sound. Is anyone, attempting to fix guvcview as this seems to be a problem since 2021? Any thought or suggestions would be most welcomed. Thanks

Fwd: bt device in connect/disconnect loop, worked previously
by Alin Marin Elena 01 Oct '23

01 Oct '23

Hi, I have a bt keyboard (using a xiao ble nrf52840 controller). this worked fine on the current computer with tumbleweed till beginning of september(may be red herring). when i decided to remove the old bt profiles and repair all my devices.. headphones, mice and keyboard. headphones and mice work as expected no issues.. the only one is the keyboard that refuses to connect or pair. there is nothing wrong with the keyboard since I can pair it without issues on another xps laptop (different bt adapter) or my android phone. trying to debug but kind of hit a wall since I have little experience with bt errors. in logs i see [ 367.758074] Bluetooth: hci0: unexpected SMP command 0x0b from e8:77:fb:f9:41:5a the bt adapter is integrated in the wifi as far as I can say 00:14.3 Network controller [0280]: Intel Corporation Alder Lake-P PCH CNVi WiFi [8086:51f0] (rev 01) Subsystem: Intel Corporation Wi-Fi 6E AX211 160MHz [8086:4090] Kernel driver in use: iwlwifi the computer itself is an XPS 9320 I also attach a btmon log when I try to pair the keyboard. I see a timeout event. kernel is Linux abbaton 6.5.4-1-vanilla #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Wed Sep 20 05:07:04 UTC 2023 (fdd7e9e) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux but on default I get the same behaviour. attached also the full dmesg for record the working computer is XPS 13 9370 and the adapter 02:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Qualcomm Atheros QCA6174 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter [168c:003e] (rev 32) Subsystem: Rivet Networks Killer 1435 Wireless-AC [1a56:143a] Kernel driver in use: ath10k_pci Kernel modules: ath10k_pci happy to provide more debug info if needed. i cleared profiles and other settings on the keyboard bt to exclude any issues from the keyboard side. this is a linux only machine so i cannot try other os on it.

This may be too off topic.

I just got bitten by the tiny PC (not Raspberry Pi) bug, and am getting one which comes with the (dreaded) Windows 11 image waiting to install. Well, I don't want to install that, I want a pure OpenSUSE box... but I want, since I "by default" (that "the fault" is that I have no choice--pun intended) have a Win 11 image just waiting on the drive to install, is there a way to download that image and use it on a different computer? (I'm not trying to do anything against the law. Just my choice.) Can this be done? Does it make sense, or is the image specifically tied to the one PC? Thank you for any advice. Mark

Support, some Frame.work laptop apparently features some rare? amd based pcie wifi card named amd rz616 > <https://frame.work/de/en/products/amd-rz616-wi-fi-6e> is this supported in current leap 15.5? i have never before manually installed drivers on the linux platform but all my hardware that i absolutely needed came with kernel built-in driver and was thus enabled especially such essential communcations chips such as ethernet and related. any hints on leap 15.5 or slowroll? any andvice on how to run such a device with opensuse? how can i become highroller on slowroll? ;p ty

Configuring default gateway for two interfaces.
by Szymon Bławat 25 Sep '23

25 Sep '23

Dear Support, I have a problem with configuring a default gateway for 2 ethernet interfaces in openSUSE. When I start the network service, the configuration happens only for one of the interfaces, and the other one is not able to use the gateway. The ip route command also shows that the default gateway is only configured for one interface. I tried configuring the interfaces by editing /etc/sysconfig/network/routes and /etc/sysconfig/network/ifroute-eth? files, by ip route command and also through YaST - neither worked. What should the configuration look like in my case? I am using openSUSE Leap 15.4. Thank you for your help. Szymon

No graphical environment after latest snapshot
by Jogchum Reitsma 22 Sep '23

22 Sep '23

Hi, My son's system fails to get into a graphical environment after the zypper dup --no-allow-vendor-change issued yesterday (to TW 20230917, kernel 6.5.3.-1-default). Trying to issue startx, the Xorg.0.login his home environment says "Failed to initialize the NVIDIA kernel module¨. Is something wrong with this snapshot? (We thought about doing a snapper rollback, but snapper says snapper is not configured - isn't that done automagically when installing TW? It is configured in my own system, and I can't remember having done that myself.) Thanks again for any suggestions! regards, Jogchum

mailinglist web renderer doesnt render html only mails or something. can we please ban html mails?
by cagsm 21 Sep '23

21 Sep '23

Dear kind sirs and madams of openSuSE, the web renderer, the website meaning <https://lists.opensuse.org/archives/> shows only downloadable .html attachments for silly html-only mails. can we please ban those mails already or if you must, as this is a webservice, and i frequently browse these webpages called websites and webservers, i do wonder why it actually has such troubles displaying html only sent emails to begin with? i rarely use my email client or email account but mostly browse webpages. same holds true for browsing interesting threads and posts on <https://lists.opensuse.org/archives/> please make it display html emails sent to these lists, properly. wondering why nobody cares for essential stuff and basics? thanks in advance anyways hope this gets sorted. ty
