Dear fellow Support, sometimes, I come across (zypper ref, zypper lu) updates, that, after being installed and applied, a rpm -qi pkgnamehere --changelog show like ancient changelog entries even though the package was just momentarily updated and installed. I fail to understand to what changed at all or why this package has been released rebuilt updated and offered. then I am trying to figure out why such a package or update or any package at all has been released to the opensuse leap user base in the first place. any takers? thank you very much for helping me understand these types of releases. e.g. > zypper up > The following 2 packages are going to be upgraded: yast2-theme yast2-theme-breeze 2 packages to upgrade.

Not able to print since last versions of TW
by Jogchum Reitsma 03 Mar '24

03 Mar '24

Hi, Since the last versions of TW, I can't print anymore. If I try o print from Okular, it reports Ghostscript is needed for the print preview and postscript support but it has security issues and is not installed by default. If you only open trusted documents, you can install the 'okular-spectre' package. That is not true, ghostscript is installed (v. 10.02.1-1.3). If I try to print a test page from cups, after a short while I get "unable to locate printer." From other TW systems in the house (updated less frequently) printing is no problem. cups reports about the printer: Description: Lexmark CS410 Series Location: Lexmark CS410DN op keamer Jogchum Driver: CS410dn - IPP Everywhere (color, 2-sided printing) Connection: dnssd://Lexmark%20CS410dn._ipp._tcp.local/?uuid=42f6ed3a-e070-4f9e-a6f0-b67e565e81d4 Defaults: job-sheets=none, none media=iso_a4_210x297mm sides=one-sided And from lpinfo: lpinfo -v network beh file cups-brf:/ file boomaga:/ network lpd network http direct hp network https network ipps network socket network ipp network smb network dnssd://Lexmark%20CS410dn._ipps._tcp.local/?uuid=42f6ed3a-e070-4f9e-a6f0-b67e565e81d4 network dnssd://Lexmark%20CS410dn._pdl-datastream._tcp.local/?uuid=42f6ed3a-e070-4f9e-a6f0-b67e565e81d4 network socket://192.168.178.32 network ipps://Lexmark%20CS410dn._ipps._tcp.local/ The network connection is OK: I can ping the address given by lpinfo, an I get the printer's status info visiting that address in the browser. Anyone an idea what be might going on here? regards, Jogchum

bluetooth headphone not in audio devices
by Jogchum Reitsma 03 Mar '24

03 Mar '24

Hi, Not for the first time, I have trouble connecting a headphone as an audio device. In my case, it is a SennheiserLE-PXC 550-II. Up till now, in these cases I ignored the problem, until some new snapshot made it automagically go away. I can make a bluetooth connection to this device, and it is referred to as an audio device, but it doesn't show up in the list of audio devices. Pipewire doesn't see it, either. How can I convince the system to treat it as an audio device? I'm on TW, yesterday's snapshot. Any help would be greatly appreciated! regards, Jogchum

VPN-Fun (this time with Wireguard)
by Axel Braun 22 Feb '24

22 Feb '24

Hi, after my recent experience with vpnc, which obviously does not support IPv6. I made another attempt with Wireguard, to connect to a IPv6 only host (DS-LITE connection). I could not get Strongswan for IPSec running. I followed the instructions of the FritzBox (6600 cable) and created a working Wireguard connection. At least it claims to work. Here is the startup protocoll: https://paste.opensuse.org/pastes/41e4656db770 So, if I'm on a IPv6 Telekom Connection and connect, it still shows Teleckm as provider (although VPN host is in via Vodafone) That means in fact it is not working! If I use an IPv4 connection it claims to work again, but same result - in fact it does not. Above log is from a IPv4 I tried to work this out with AVM support (Manufacturer of FritzBox), no success. Any ideas? Has anyone Wiresguard running (on TW)? Thanks Axel

Intermittent machine lockup when attempting shutdown or suspend:
by -pj 17 Feb '24

17 Feb '24

Hi, When shutdown or powercycling attempts are envoked, the a machine here is locking up with frozen message output displayed in TTY (I think this is the correct wording to use for this). What is the best way to show these messages since the photo taken of the trace output is larger than susepaste will allow? Would this possibly have something to do with providing Y2logs? Or maybe reviewing a journal file perhaps? -Regards

Boot problem
by Vojtěch Zeisek 15 Feb '24

15 Feb '24

Hi, I have AMD desktop with 4 drives, and installation of TW works, but system doesn't boot. I have to press F12 and manually select UEFI opensuse-secureboot or opensuse item. The machine has - 2x 2TB NVMe - used as SW RAID0 for encrypted /home - 1x 1TB SSD for /boot/efi and encrypted LVM with / and swap - 1x 5TB HDD for internal backups (rsync with cron) Interestingly, when I boot install USB drive, I randomly see SSD as sda or sdb, and HDD as sdb or sda. Anyway, regardless I place /boot/efi on beginning of SSD or 1st NVMe, BIOS has troubles to find boot openSUSE. Also, when I press F12 to manually select boot device, I sometimes get info that the firmware was reset (Problem with CMOS battery or so?), but otherwise everything seems correct there. When I install Leap with above setup, it works. I have similar setup (2x NVMe, 1st with /boot/efi and encrypted LVM with /and swap, and 2nd with encrypted / home) on another machine, and I use to use setup with /boot/efi and rest in encrypted LVM for years, so I'm sure this setup works reliably. So I wonder if I do something wrong or I face some issue with motherboard of my desktop...?
