[opensuse] Leap 15.0 Networking Woes (NetworkManager conflicts with Wicked)
by Andrei Verovski 08 Jun '18

08 Jun '18

Hi, I have networking problem with fresh install of Leap 15.0 on 2 pcs, which seem to be similar to the one I had when upgraded 42.3 to Leap 15 late beta. However, this is 100% fresh install on reformatted SSD in HP desktop. Symptoms is the same - after first restart networking service (with Wicked) is broken. Examining logs showed that for whatever reason NetworkManager is not fully disabled. 1 - NetworkManager-wait-online.service still tries to start and fails with timeout error 2 - KDE NetworkManager plazma applet tries to initiate connection on eth0 and fails. It should show “ NetworkManager is not running” instead. I tried to fix this: 1) Disabled NetworkManager.service and NetworkManager-wait-online.service with systemctl disable NetworkManager.service systemctl disable NetworkManager-wait-online.service After restart annoying NetworkManager still disrupts networking. 2) Switched in Yast Wicked -> NetworkManager, the back, restart. Problem the same. rcnetwork restart cures problem till next system reboot. I can’t remove NetworkManager because it also deleted KDE / MATE. Switching KDE to MATE do not changes anything. Anyone can suggest what system component (I suspect some freedesktop or dbus-org services) disrupts networking ?

[opensuse] leap15 - how do I enable display power saving ?
by Per Jessen 06 Jun '18

06 Jun '18

I realised this a while back - in Leap15 on real iron, the display is not being switched into power saving after a while. What do I need to do to enable that? Minimum server install, so no GUI. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (18.9°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - dedicated server rental in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Idiot Question about Btrfs
by Robin Klitscher 05 Jun '18

05 Jun '18

For historical reasons my longstanding practice has been to keep two, sometimes three, separate installations of openSUSE on this multi-boot machine. I use one of them as the principal productive installation, with the other(s) available for experiments or as recovery tools if I screw something up in the main installation. Each of the installations has its own segregated (ie non-shared) /home. But, also for historical reasons, they do all share three additional custom mounts, two for general data and one for images, videos and soundfiles. All installations including the three custom mounts are in ext4 only. Currently I have Leap 42.3 as the main daily use installation, with Leap 42.2 and Tumbleweed “in reserve”. My intention is to replace 42.2 with Leap 15 as a fresh installation (not an upgrade), for use as the principal productive installation. My question is about filesystems. I’ve watched the various discussions about Btrfs with interest, though I haven’t understood much of it and have so far chosen to stick with ext4 throughout. But Btrfs seems to be improving, including in the context of rollback. So, what are the implications, if any, of installing Leap 15 using its default Btrfs and xfs filesystems in place of the existing Leap 42.2 installation but leaving the three additional data partitions (and the other installations) formatted in ext4? Alternatively, should I also convert the three shared data partitions now in ext4 to Btrfs? If so, does that mean that the root filesystem for each of the other installations should also be converted to Btrfs? Or doesn’t it matter? -- Robin K Wellington "Harbour City" New Zealand -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Grub Customizer broken in 15.0
by James Knott 03 Jun '18

03 Jun '18

I installed 15.0 on my notebook computer, where I have both Linux and Windows installed. This means I need a boot menu to select which OS I want to use. In the past, it was possible to edit the boot menu. Someone decided to "improve" things by removing that possibility. I then had to install Grub Customizer to edit the menu. That's now broken with 15.0. On top of that, my Grub menu has 15.0 twice, but no mention of Windows and no way to fix that. Is there any way to edit the menu now? Why was this even broken in the first place? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Connection doesn't work with some wifi networks
by Charles Robert 02 Jun '18

Hello, I'm on Tumbleweed with network manager and KDE. With some wifi networks (now 2), network manager can connect but it has no data flux and the ping doesn't work. I haven't connection issue with another wifi networks. I can use these wifi networks with an Ubuntu live USB. Thanks for your helping.

[opensuse] Problem with leap 15 upgrade
by don fisher 02 Jun '18

02 Jun '18

I started to perform an upgrade from 43.2 to Leap 15 and received an error warning: "Some partitions on the system on /dev/sdc2 are mounted by kernel-device name" I had mounted the partitions by UUID. Is UUID that what is meant by a kernel device name? Because I was under the impression that the UUID belonged to the device. Should that cause the system upgrade to fail? I get message Execution of Command ""[["?usr.sbin.grub2-mkconfig","-o","/boot/grubd/grub.cfg"]]" failed Error output: Generating grub configuration file... and more., Then: ERROR:failed to lookup rootid:inappropriate ioctl for device. Is this a problem with the use of UUIDs? The first warning suggests changing the "mount-by" method to any other method. Don't know which other one to pick. Using google it appears that UUID is the most recommended. But another link says that the it you recreate the partitions they will get different UUIDs. I looked in /dev/disk and see by-id, by-label, by-path and by UUID. I would use by-id, but am concerned that all of the devices may not be known. Like 4GB SSD drives. By-path appears vulnerable to the pci id changing if one moves the drive. I usually do not put labels on all of my partitions, so do not know how what by label would look like. What is the best approach? And is this my problem? Don -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] please use the new opensuse-support list ??

Gertjan, I have mostly stayed out of this discussion, but this is a bit much. Given that no change of purpose for opensuse(a)o.o has been announced, proposed nor discussed, I think you are being insincere in attempting to reroute traffic, thereby unnecessarily splitting our community. The new support list has been announced, now leave it to the community to decide. If people find the support offered on opensuse-support(a)o.o to be more readily available or perhaps even better than here, they will migrate by themselves. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (18.9°C) member, openSUSE Heroes. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Wireshark 15.0
by James Knott 31 May '18

31 May '18

I see Wireshark has "upgraded" to the new user interface, which is absolute crap. Is there any way to restore the traditional interface? It's a lot more useful than this new piece of garbage!
