[opensuse-support] How to troubleshoot my laptops strange wifi problem
by Dave Plater 07 Feb '19

07 Feb '19

Hi, because my HP pavilion type 15-bs@xx already needed a newer than Leap 15.0's kernel and an RTL8723DE wifi that will only be available in the 5 series kernel I decided to upgrade to Tumbleweed. I have a huawei E5573Cs-609 4G modem with the SSID hidden, because it seems that wifi hacking tools are readily available. This supplies a Tplink TL-WA850RE range extender with an ether net cable to my main pc and an advertised SSID which supplies my laptop, a raspberry pi and several cell phones with internet. It's never been hacked for some strange reason. After I upgraded to Tumbleweed my wifi carried on functioning but after my last two zypper dup's the laptop will no longer lock onto the TL-WA850RE's signal. I've tried both wicked and network manager, I have an nfs server running on the laptop so I normally use wicked. Windows 10 has no problem with the tplink but openSUSE Tumbleweed will only lock on to the hidden SSID from the E5573C iw dev wlo1 scan picks up the TL-WA850RE with a healthy -28.00 dBm along with various neighbors's routers, the hidden E5573Cs which lives at the other end of the house only gives -64.00 dBm. systemctl status network outputs for both devices: https://paste.opensuse.org/83073878 wlo1 never gets past setup-in-progress.

Well, batch processing is not using the whole memory in a go, but does it one by one (I rather refer to this PS/GIMP/Darktable processing as 'Photo Retouching'). I'm really talking about having a 3D data cube of a few hundred 4600x3500 float images and doing stuff like FFT analysis and such on it where you really need access to all data 'at once'. > what software are you using?

[opensuse-support] Can not change laptop screen brightness via its keys

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hi, XFCE, Leap 15.0 The laptop for some reason goes dark, and the keys to increase brightness do not work. I see this in the log, probably in response to my key press (but later, not the same instant): <10.5> 2019-02-05 02:02:15 minas-tirith pkexec 22358 - - cer: Executing command [USER=root] [TTY=unknown] [CWD=/] [COMMAND=/usr/sbin/xfpm-power-backlight-helper --set-brightness 0] and other numbers.

[opensuse-support] Sata SSD physical sector size shown as 512bytes? And other stuff when moving root drive to new physical drive.
by cagsm 31 Jan '19

31 Jan '19

Hi list, had thought that all SSD actually had like 4kilobytes as physical sector size and only 512bytes emulation stuff. My leap 15.0 machine upgraded the hardware of the root disk to SSD from HDD. fdisk -l now shows 512/512 for both logical and physical of this root disk. With the help of gparted distro, I have migrated, copied, over the / and /home partitions from the old HDD to the new empty SSD. Created, enlarged the partition sizes, and marked the / as bootable, and then used the rescue system of Leap 15.0 bootmedia to mount all that stuff, addtl proc sys and dev ans --rbind and then chroot into the system. Then added some grub2 stuff to make the mbr bootinfo be written again and at the end mkinitrd. All went basically fine (using /dev/disk/by-uuid/ mostly everywhere in /etc/default/grub and in /etc/fstab ). I basically followed the suse.com KB articles: <https://www.suse.com/de-de/support/kb/doc/?id=7018639> <https://www.suse.com/de-de/support/kb/doc/?id=7018126> But now I am wondering if I need to consider more stuff when making the switch from HDD to SSD, or did I do bascially just fine? fdisk shows as 512/512 as stated above and the bootlogging (dmesg -e or journalctl -b ) show some weird stuff for this new SSD early during bootup with those ata.1 lines printing some drivenotready or something I can look up later to be precise. This error didnt show when using the HDD. Now I wonder if my SSD is too new for the sata chipset of the rather oldish motherboard or if something else is missing. Everything is working as AHCI according to bios and settings but I never mess much with this. Any hints into this?
