[opensuse] Need help with setting wifi
by oszko＠chem.u-szeged.hu 21 Mar '16

21 Mar '16

Please help me in solving my wifi problem. I have an ASUS K501UX laptopn with Leap. I have KDE and kernel 4.5 (which mostly solved my nouveau problem and made touchpad usable). But I have no wifi and cannot set it to work. The system comes up with airplane mode on. I can switch it off with Fn+F2. But it does not make wifi available. I installed rfkill. "rfkill list" says: 0: asus-wlan: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: yes Hard blocked: no 1: asus-bluetooth: Bluetooth Soft blocked: yes Hard blocked: no 3: phy0: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: yes Hard blocked: no I tried rfkill unblock all/wifi/wlan and I got: 0: asus-wlan: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no 1: asus-bluetooth: Bluetooth Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no 3: phy0: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: yes 6: hci0: Bluetooth Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no The airplane lamp is on again... And the network is unavailable. As far as I know, the notebook has an Intel dualband wifi which needs iwlwifi driver and 7265-8 and 7265-9 firmware. These are in /etc/firmware. After booting I have wired network, but for a short time only, it is kicked off, and cannot connect again, only by rebooting. Network manager is not very responsive. Help would be welcome Albert ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

Can you find the MAC in your arp cache or DHCP server? Of course, you can always fire up Wireshark to see the actual MAC address and then filter on it to see what IPv4 address might show up. Also, you can look up the MAC address to see who the manufacturer is. http://www.macvendorlookup.com/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Re: Leap 42.1/KDE Display Config issue
by Dr.-Ing. Dieter Jurzitza 20 Mar '16

20 Mar '16

Dear Toshi, please take a look at Bug Nr. 956334. Unfortunately the bug processing at openSUSE is currently quite slow - this is my experience at last. If you want to force the icons to remain where you have been putting them (and please nobody yell that this should not be done this way - it simply works) please change owner and mode of plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc in ~/.config: Mine shows now ls -l plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc -rw-r----- 1 root users 6120 23. Nov 20:06 plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop- appletsrc by this only root could modify this file - the icon positions get messed every other login, however, positions remain where I want them to when I log in next time. This is nothgin but a plaster - but it works reliably. Good luck Dieter Jurzitza -- ----------------------------------------------------------- | \ /\_/\ | | ~x~ |/-----\ / \ /- \_/ ^^__ _ / _ ____ / <°°__ \- \_/ | |/ | | || || _| _| _| _| if you really want to see the pictures above - use some font with constant spacing like courier! :-) ----------------------------------------------------------- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

Evergreen cycle, LTS. You must be new here. I guess I'm just reading between the lines differently than you are, in a way that I think is practical and reasonable, while yours is impractical and unreasonable. https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Evergreen 13.1 is EOL. It is not officially supported. The Evergreen community is small and needs user assistance to make it viable. "Since we are a small community doing Evergreen we would appreciate if users could join us in testing upcoming updates." And Everygreen provides "security and stability fixes". The bug you've referred to is, by your own admission an edge case, not a stability problem. There's no good reason to expect this bug to be fixed by the Evergreen team except incidentally. So feel free to pick up a shovel if you think it should be fixed in 13.1, but you might want to first see if it even is still broken. > Unless the asignee closes it for whatever reason, as far as I'm concerned > the bug is valid and unsolved (his job, not mine). That's all that matters > to me. There is no evidence at all the assignee participates in Evergreen. Not everyone does. Participation is voluntary. And all sorts of bugs get fixed without bug reports getting closed. That's simply not how any bug reporting system works anywhere. Closing bug reports as fixed is a courtesy. It is not a practical standard operating procedure to know when every bug has been fixed. By your own admission you haven't even tested this recently: not in 18 months at least, with 13.1 current updates applied, let alone 13.2 or 42.x. So it's not even certain the bug is still reproducible with 13.1 with all updates applied. I don't know why you think it's someone else's job to do this testing in a community driven project. If you don't care about this problem, why should someone else care? -- Chris Murphy -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] another ntp issue
by Hans Witvliet 19 Mar '16

19 Mar '16

I presume there is not much I can do, but I noticed I get 10,000 ntp packets each 35 seconds. They can not do any harm, as I don't listen on my public interface (according to nmap). My firewall drops them immediately, but my line chokes on them... Hans -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
