USB-ports stay closed using buttons ' start and escape ' simultaneously to start an other Linux
Hallo, after updating, nothing has changed, USB-ports are still closed except a BIOS screen poped up immediately. BIOS gave no better results. Formerly an unknown passphrase poped up. I guess updatting the system lead to a change no longer demanding a passphrase but instead the BIOS sreen appeared. opening:( Settings ---->Sharing -----> Remote Login ( was open, could not be closed)( In the meantime I got an information: (Security Violation : Something is lousy going wrong) when I tried to close 'remote login' I got an information ' ssh linux local', try 'secure shell comand'. I think this is no longer my turn. I am a user and no developer. Has anybodythe same problem as me. I only try to start an other Linux from a stick but USB-ports remain closed. i work with Leap 15.5 Leap 15.3 I could start an other LInux without problems. dr.8 Kronos

I don't understand your problem. What means "USB-ports stay closed"? -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.4 x86_64 at Telcontar)
Hallo Carlos, thanks for answering me. After installation of lead 15.5 I tried to start an other Linux. I shut down my laptop. Then I pushed down 'escape' and hold the button pressed down. Then one can start with the start button. With Lead 15.3 . The USB ports were not blocked. I could boot from the USB stick. Later on with Lead 15.5 the USB ports are blocked by a passphrase I did not know. In other words they 'stayed closed' dr.8 Manfred

is this a bios setting? or are you using disk encryption on your 15.5 installation? cheers Axel

I have never heard of USB ports being protected by any password. If what you mean is that when you try to boot some Linux system you are asked for a password, well, that Linux system is probably encrypted. Nothing to do with USB ports. Maybe you are connecting an external disk or flash media on USB that is encrypted or protected by password. Again, nothing to do with USB ports. Another password prompt can come from enrolling UEFI keys. That would the root's password. Nothing to do with USB. Or maybe your laptop BIOS/UEFI does protect booting from USB ports with a password. Nothing to do with Linux. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.4 x86_64 at Telcontar)
