[opensuse] Project management software question for project managers
by Ted Byers 29 May '24

29 May '24

I am looking for project management software I can install on my Suse box. Alas, there are quite a number of prducts that claim to be suitable project management products, but I am hoping to obtain a little help separating the wheat from the chaffe. Basically, when I open the project management software, I want to be able to choose from among a number of projects that are under way, and then see the relation between a client's wish list and the functional requirements specs, and then how these specs relate to the UML diagrams that have been created, and from there, what tasks have been defined for each requirement and the identity of all persons involved, the developers and their managers, and the person who designed the code that supports the requirement. And with that, I want to be able to see the project's timeline, the related bugs, &c. I would even want to be able to open the source code files and examine the code that was actually written. Here is my wish list: 1) a web application that stores data in either PostgreSQL or MySQL. 2) easy integration with UML tool (or has it's own UML tool that supports round trip engineering) 3) resource management (e.g. computers, and development tools, that can be used, personelle assigned to each task) 4) documentation of relation between functional requirements specs to specific tasks and specific unit and integration tests. 5) time/effort tracking 6) bug tracking, including data relating the existance of the bug, and effort required to fix it, to the person who wrote the original code, the person who supervised him or her, and the person who designed the 'feature' in question, the time taken to complete the original task, and the technologies used (to imprrove accountability as well as to determine retraining and continuing education needs (people aren't disposable, so instead of taking a harsh aproach to problems identified, I prefer to use education as a corrective, but I can't design corrective instruction without knowing precisely what the need is). I also need to know if a developer has a higher than normal bug rate simply because he doesn't take enough time to ensure the job is done right, or because I haven't adequately trained him, or because of a poor choice of tools, or somethng else that may be my fault. 7) use of task effort tracking history to generate provisional effort/cost estimates from new project's functional requirements 8) easy integration with open source ERP products like OFBiz (which may make trakcing resources and manpower easier, as well as connect real production data to the enterprise's accounting systems) 9) easy integration with CMS products, like Wordpress (especally for production documentation, includng degin documentation and user guides and reference manuals) 10) easy integration with verion control systems such as subversion. If there is a decent product that supports all of this, great (and language used to implement it doesn't matter), but if I have to write code to add missing requirements, then I am limited to those implemented using Perl or Java (and running on Tomcat). I don't know PHP well enough, and I don't know Ruby at all; and I really don't want to think about implementing this sort of thing in C++ (though I could if absolutely necessary). If you have project management experience, and use tools that are available for Suse Linux, what software product(s) did you use, and with what result? While I await relies, I will continue to review web documentation for those products I have found so far, to see if any of them are a) suitable for use in production and b) to see to what extent they support the features I am after. I have seen a number of products so far in my search, that deserve to be nameless, because they provide no way to relate cost estimates to one's team's track record, or to the details of the design, and seem satisfied with production of a pretty gantt chart (which is why I have formed the view that there is a whole lots of chaffe in the set of applications that call themselves project menement software - I have yet to find anything that really has the potential of being labelled wheat).

Sorry SuSE: 9.1 is Waste of time and money!
by Terje J. Hanssen 17 May '24

17 May '24

I am sorry to conclude that my upgrade from SuSE 9.0 Pro to 9.1 Pro has been waste of time and money for me, so far. The same I have to say about the free SuSE "Installation support". The reason is that my SuSE 9.1 installation only detects 1 of my 3 SCSCI devices (as I wrote in another subject on this forum: http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-linux-e/2004-May/3254.html) Yamaha 4416S CDRW recorder detected HP DVD Writer 100i NOT detected Epson 1640SU scanner NOT detected It's rather stupid. I have installed 9.1 using the DVD disk just in the HP DVD drive, but after the installation of 9.1, the KDE/Konqueror /media/recorder cannot access it and YaST2 cannot install additional software from it. Only one "Cdrecorder" is found in My computer and that is the Yamaha 4416 drive, which the KDE/Konqueror file manager assign as /media/recorder11. I am sure 9.1 is the reason, as I hadn't this problems with 9.0. I have tried both an update and two several new installation of 9.1. Neither SJDS nor Windows on the same multiboot PC have problems to detect these devices. In my opinion SuSE should therefore debug 9.1 better and longer, and not leave the problems to the customers. I see SuSE notes on their web saying that they know SCSI scanners are not detected in 9.1. But regarding my HP DVD writer problem, the SuSE support (as usual) don't take the responsibility and argue that this problem (a combination of IDE disk and SCSI devices) isn't included in their free installation support! This sounds remarkable, and I have never had a modern PC of so simple model or configuration that it has fitted the limited rules for the free installation support. Terje J. Hanssen

[SLE] RealPlayer G2 on SuSe 6.2
by yh＠ottawa.com 03 Apr '24

03 Apr '24

Yesterday, I finally got sound going on my Linux setup. I downloaded RealPlayer G2 and it worked beautifully. Today, RealPlayer run but no sound coming out. All other sound functions still work. I can still play my CD, have system sound BUT no sound when I run RealPlayer. /var/log/message said kernel: Sound: DMA (output) timed out - IRQ/DRQ config error? but KDE sound still work. I have re-installed RealPlayer 3 times now, still no sound when I run the RealPlayer. Any help is appreciated.

[opensuse] Kernel compilation the openSUSE way?
by Bjoern Voigt 28 Nov '21

28 Nov '21

I usually take the newest openSUSE kernel (from repository Kernel_stable). But since some month I have a DVB T2 HD card, which requires a patch (see https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=194171). So I need to compile kernels myself. I have a working compilation path. But the current path has 12 steps! It takes some time. I wonder, why it is so complicated to configure, compile and install a Kernel under openSUSE. Is there a better/easier/automated way to configure, compile and install a Kernel under openSUSE? I know this blog article. But the article uses Vanilla kernels and also needs 6 steps. With additional patches (4 steps), third-party modules (2 steps) and cleanup (1 step) the article would also need 13 steps: Compiling the Linux Kernel, the SUSE way https://www.suse.com/communities/blog/compiling-de-linux-kernel-suse-way/ This is my Kernel configuration, compilation and installation path: 1. Update kernel-source and kernel-default from Kernel_stable repository 2. Save kernel-source: cp -a /usr/src/linux-4.x.y-... /usr/src/linux-4.x.y-my 3. Apply my patches cd /usr/src/linux-4.x.y-my patch -b -p1 < ~myuser/.../my-kernel-patch.patch 4. Copy standard configuration: cd /usr/src/linux-4.x.y-my cp -v /boot/config-4.11.4-1.gcba98ee-default .config 5. Edit .config: remove CONFIG_LOCALVERSION, CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL, CONFIG_EXPERT remove some hardware-dependent settings 6. edit configuration interactively: Disable CONFIG_EXPERT and CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL, because otherwise "make binrpm-pkg" creates huge kernel binaries. make oldconfig [...] Local version - append to kernel release (LOCALVERSION) [] (NEW) -my1 * * Configure standard kernel features (expert users) * Configure standard kernel features (expert users) (EXPERT) [N/y/?] (NEW) Kernel debugging (DEBUG_KERNEL) [N/y/?] (NEW) make menuconfig Do some additional configuration. 7. Compile kernel (-j4 for four processor cores, ionice and nice to reduce the load, binrpm-pkg for RPM without source-RPM) make clean nice ionice -c idle make -j4 binrpm-pkg 8. Install the kernel RPM package rpm -Uvh /usr/src/packages/RPMS/x86_64/kernel-4.x.y_my1-....x86_64.rpm 9. Install necessary symbolic links for "dkms" cd /lib/modules/4.x.y-my1 ln -sv /usr/src/linux-4.x.y-my source ln -sv /usr/src/linux-4.x.y-my build 10. Update third-party modules (e.g. Nvidia driver): dkms install -m nvidia -v 375.66 -k 4.x.y-my1 11. Cleanup cd /usr/src/linux-4.x.y-my make clean 12. Select Grub configuration and reboot grub2-once --list | less grub2-once 2 reboot Greetings, Björn -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Raid, Raid6, what file system for good fault tolerance?
by cagsm 21 Dec '20

21 Dec '20

Hi list, speaking about software raid, not hardware controller based. I am trying to go for some local OpenSuse machine and adding some storage to it. Was considering Raid6, and now reading about a bit and people left and right scaremongering about the larger the disks these days in the double digit terabyte capacities even, the more likely it is that during a reconstruction of a raid subsequent errors would occur. I would absolutely like to keep my data consistent, and I am not thinking about double digit terabytes either, would stick to 2TB or 4TB disks, with Raid6 thats at least 4 physical drives. Now I am wondering if it possible to use a good robust file system that can add some more parity or check blocks or redundancy on top of the hardware disks, to absolutely be able to always read my data. I can't add multiple machines or like those high availability stuff like clusters and what not I read about DRBD (Distributed Replicated Block Device), or maybe I am just too scared by those technical terms or consider myself to be just a simpleton and wanting to keep it rather simple. My use case here is also not constant availablity, when a disk needs to be replaced, so be it, but I don't want to lose my data that I can not ever read certain parts of it again or such stuff. The thing that came to my mind was, if there is some file systems that would add redundancy and robustness onto the mdraid system of the linux kernel? Anyone with some useful insights? Roughly speaking, I was considering some simple pcie esata interfaced controller card and an external case enclosure with esata port and portmulitplier stuff inside, that can present at least 4 physical disks as JBOD, just a bunch of disks, so that the Linux can seem them all separately. Speed and rebuild times are not my concern, but data persistence and data integrity. Not even number of physical disks, I could live with even one of those 8 bay device enclosures and cases that are out there on the market. Thanks for any help and hints. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

Hi, i am wondering about how / where kde will cache desktop symbols, because it will show them even if the original source picture is removed: i have a "virtual-machine-management1" desktop entry. with "Icon=yast-vm-management" it shows a monitor and some tools it seems, that this picture was in some update (i use tumbleweed) removed. because if i open properties it will show a other symbol (a white animal at green background). i have more than one computers installed similar, an at one of them also on desktop there is now (i have no idea why) shown the symbol which i see when i open with right mouse click "properties" (animal) in properties, there should normally shown the same symbol i see at the desktop. but at all except one computer i see the old symbol at desktop and the animal symbol at properties. see here: https://paste.opensuse.org/83344057 so my questions are: 1) why is the old symbol still shown even if it seems to be removed (i could not find it actually on my computer by searching for "*yast-vm-management*" in /usr and in /home 2) where is it stored ? 3) how (what symbol) did kde assign a other symbol if the original is removed with other words, when in the desktop entry file is a "non existing" name of a symbol. simoN -- www.becherer.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] On this momentous eve, would be nice if 15.0 was extended until 15.2 was ready...
by David C. Rankin 30 Nov '19

30 Nov '19

All (devs), Here is to wishful thinking. It would be very nice to extend 15.0 updates until 15.2 is out to avoid problems like supported vbox 5.2.34+ triggering 4 error dialogs every boot with the 15.1 kernel modules built on the also supported 6.x versions along with a few additional intermediate issues. Any takers :) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] adobe reader 9.5 in Leap 15.1
by Istvan Gabor 29 Nov '19

29 Nov '19

Hello: I still need occasionally adobe reader. I installed it according to the description at this github site: cho2/Adobe Reader https://gist.github.com/cho2/79964a49a4f5f545853d3ebdfd1efe73 I followed the instructions of msohni (commented Jun 2, 2019) with slight modifications (different old library dir name). Now adobe reader / acroread runs without any error or even warning messages. Unfortunately the program print window doesn't see any configured printer, only "custom" is available. I copied libcups.so.2 (32 bit) from Leap 42.3 as the github site suggests but still no printers shown. There must be something else, maybe something trivial I missed. Any idea would be appreciated on how to solve it. Thanks, Istvan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] xfs planed to be used for root soon?
by L A Walsh 28 Nov '19

28 Nov '19

I was wondering if opensuse was planning to use xfs for its root again, soon? xfs formally has reflink copying and can automatically perform some types of deduplication. It's 1 better than using a hard link since only the data is currently dedupped and 2 copies of the same file can be owned by different people, even though the data is linked. They also have COW, so if you change bytes in the middle, only those bytes need to be written, like 2-1GB files were equal, copied 4k of 1's into the middle of one of the original two files. The space on disk went up by 4k for the new file and its sectors were deduped from the other file. No one would claim perfection, but given the frequent problems with BRTFS, it might yield lower problems. Forgive me if this has already been discussed, but it seemed cool! 'cp' even has support for doing reflnk copies or not. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Squid does not execute squidguard (As it should)
by Rollniak 28 Nov '19

Hello everyone, I have some trouble with Squid and SquidGuard on openSUSE 15.1.

[opensuse] ssh without password
by Wolfgang Mueller 27 Nov '19

27 Nov '19

In "man ssh" I read: The user creates his/her key pair by running ssh-keygen(1). This stores the private key in [...] ~/.ssh/id_rsa (RSA) and stores the public key in [...] ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub (RSA) in the user's home directory. The user should then copy the public key to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys in his/her home directory on the remote machine. The authorized_keys file corresponds to the conventional ~/.rhosts file, and has one key per line, though the lines can be very long. After this, the user can log in without giving the password. I followed these instructions. But the remote system still continues asking for a password. Only root can login without specifying a password.

[opensuse] cleanups of old kernel builds or /usr/src/kernel(or non-current kerns from /usr/src/linux-[45].x.y..?)
by L A Walsh 26 Nov '19

26 Nov '19

Does anyone know of any cleanups that are done on "old" sources (and builds) of /usr/src/linux-[45]versions? I have my /usr/src pointing to /home/src with /home/src/linux usually pointing into /home/linux/<some version>. Not sure when it happened but something cleaned /home/linux/.... out of all linux source+build dirs going back to about 2012, except for 1-2 dirs from last year. Was very weird -- never had seen such a thorough clean. For me, Nov 01 backup was tainted and I skipped back to my Oct 01 full backup where I could recover the missing 35G. Certainly skipped a heartbeat or two until I fund a substantial backup. I have yet to go through any of the sub-backups in Oct but also don't know if anything else might be missing -- doesn't *seem* to be the case -- so was wondering if there were any scripts that might have been having a bad day running on my system, though that would seem to be a bit of a stretch. Certainly not thinking of any deliberate actions by anybody, since except for the build-configurations, most of it would have been downloadable from kernel.org and rebuilt. Just weird. Versioned-backups really are a life saver sometimes... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

Alas, under openSUSE 15.1 - with it's mostly antiquated software -, which is their newest "recent" stable distribution, does the test "check_clamav" fails. This applies both to clamav-0.102.0 and .1.

[opensuse] Minimal autoyast file not working on Tumbleweed

23 Nov '19

Hi, I'm trying to cook up a minimal autoyast file that I can use while adding openSUSE support to the CentOS CI for the various projects in the (lib)virt ecosystem [0][1]. The attached file works fine for everything except Tumbleweed, where I get the following error None or wrong base product has been defined in the AutoYaST configuration file. Please check the products entry in the software section. Following base products are available: openSUSE-MicroOS (openSUSE MicroOS) openSUSE (openSUSE Tumbleweed) But I can see that 'base', 'minimal_base', and 'yast2_basis' are included in the large list of patterns available to a Tumbleweed installation. Has something changed that would prevent installing Tumbleweed with this small list of patterns? Is there a better autoyast <software> configuration for a minimal system that works across Leap and Tumbleweed?

[opensuse] Fail To Boot After Update to kernel-default-4.12.14-lp150.12.82.1 ??

All, Devs, On a virtualbox install, zypper up to kernel-default-4.12.14-lp150.12.82.1 on 15.0 left the VM unable to boot - it hangs part way though the boot.

Attempts to rebuild the init with: # dracut -fM --kver 4.12.14-lp150.12.82-default completes successfully but does not solve the problem. I have removed (zypper rm'ed) kernel-default-4.12.14-lp150.12.82.1 and the system boots fine on the kernel-default-4.12.14-lp150.12.79.1 kernel. What to check as to why update to the new kernel failed? There is no persistent journal to check. -- David C.

[opensuse] Jstar: how to get ctrl-left and ctrl-right keys working, solved.
by Carlos E. R. 21 Nov '19

21 Nov '19

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, It has been a long standing nuisance that ctrl-left and ctrl-right do not work in jstar. I got, by chance, a hint on nntp:alt.os.linux. There is this paragraph on the man page: «Unfortunately, there is no standard way to get the keysequence given by the terminal emulator when you hit Ctrl-Right Arrow. Instead you have to determine this sequence yourself and enter it directly in the joerc file. Some examples are given for Xterm and gnome-terminal. Hit ^Q Ctrl-Right Arrow within JOE to have the sequence shown on your screen. Note that Putty uses Esc Esc [ C which will not appear with ^Q Right Arrow (also Esc Esc is the set bookmark command, so you need to unbind it to do this in Putty).» - From there I got the sequences: ^right [1;5C ^left [1;5D Looking at both /etc/joe/jstarrc and /etc/joe/joerc (the mentioned paragraph in the man about Xterm is only in plain joe), I finally found how to do it. Locate in /etc/joe/jstarrc nextword ^F Goto next word ... prevword ^A Previous word and add: nextword ^[ [ 1 ; 5 C CER: Goto next word prevword ^[ [ 1 ; 5 D CER: Previous word It appears that the configuration file configures the entire keyboard of the editor. Everything. I don't know if my changes will work on all terminals. They work on xterm, xfce-terminal, lxterminal, gnome-terminal, and konsole, but not in console. There the sequences would be: - --> [C <-- [D - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.

[opensuse] zypper dup 42.3 -> 15.0 loses all LibreOffice Templates/Settings, KDE Plastic/Keramik styles not available?
by David C. Rankin 20 Nov '19

20 Nov '19

All, After having done several full installs of 15.0 and 15.1 with no notable issues, I did my first zypper dup --downloadinadvance after having done a zypper clean and zypper ref. The zypper dup went well (even with the NVidia drivers and cinelerra repos). However, I have two frustrating problems that are not present in the fresh installs of 15.0 and 15.1. First with LibreOffice, all templates, settings and dictionaries are gone. Nowhere to be found in the menus. Next, I use Keramik as the KDE3 style (in both 15.0 and 15.1 fresh installs), but after a zypper dup, the Plastik and Keramik styles do not show in the menus. The versions of the packages are exactly the same between the working 15.0 fresh install box and this box. The only styles shown available are CDE, Windows 95, Platinum and SGI (yuk). None of the core KDE widget styles are listed in Appearance->Style. kdeglobals still has my widgetStyle=keramik, but it displays as CDE (first in shown list I guess) The library files are all there: $ find . -type f -name "*keramik*" ./share/apps/kwin/keramik.desktop ./share/apps/kstyle/themes/keramik.themerc ./share/doc/HTML/en/krec/krec-keramik.png ./lib64/kde3/kwin3_keramik.so ./lib64/kde3/kwin_keramik_config.so ./lib64/kde3/kwin3_keramik.la ./lib64/kde3/kwin_keramik_config.la ./lib64/kde3/plugins/styles/keramik.so ./lib64/kde3/plugins/styles/keramik.la ./lib64/kde3/kstyle_keramik_config.so ./lib64/kde3/kstyle_keramik_config.la I have run kbuildsycoca --noincremental to eliminate a cache issue and restarted the desktop, no joy.... So where has my LibreOffice config gone and where have the default styles gone? Any thoughts/guesses? -- David C.

[opensuse] Baloo bug
by James Knott 20 Nov '19

20 Nov '19

On 15.1/KDE, there has long been a bug where on desktop startup, I get an error "Baloo File Indexing Daemon closed unexpectedly". I recall seeing some discussion about that here and it was being worked on. This "feature" has now appeared on a system running 15.0. Is there anything happening with this? I don't see any mention about this issue in bugzilla. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] A slightly complicated permission problem with kvm/libvirt and an existing disk with images
by stakanov 19 Nov '19

19 Nov '19

Hello to all. I had to reinstall my TW these days. I have a separate disc mounted as /kvmimages where I hold the images of the OS. When I check, all is O.K.. The images are effectively present and they are owned by root:root. Now my user is called entropy. Entropy is member of the groups kvm and libvirt. As a matter of fact, he can start and connect kvm/qemu and then you can choose "new" - virtual machine - choose from existing images. When I try to do so, unfortunately I do not see anything because there seems to be a permission problem. This puzzles me, because while being entropy member of kvm/qemu he should be able to read them, even when owned by root. Am I mistaken? In this setup (see above) and respecting the security issue of not wanting this /kvmstorage be world readable, what permission do I have to set to / kvmstorage in order to be able as "entropy" to import the existing images. Thank you. P.S. PAM solutions are also highly welcome (as long as you are verbose enough and I shall be able to understand them fully). _________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________ Ihre E-Mail-Postf�cher sicher & zentral an einem Ort.

[opensuse] disable hibernation--followup
by Doug McGarrett 19 Nov '19

19 Nov '19

Apparently google doesn't allow attachments with a .com extension. And rebooting Windows without shutting off does NOT work in a version I got with a new computer last May or June. Anyway, it's easy enough to just write the words here: Right-click the START button and choose Windows Powershell (admin): you see a prompt like this: PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> to that, add a command, as shown: PS C: \WINDOWS\system32> powercfg.exe /h off That's all there is to it. It's now permanently off. If you want to turn it back on again, substitute the word on after the /h. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Disable Windows hibernation--this one works!
by Doug McGarrett 17 Nov '19

17 Nov '19

[somewhat OT, but useful] When you disable Windows hibernation, you can then, using File Manager Super User, copy a file and paste it in a Windows directory. (There has been a lot of misinformation about this, but a file I just received today (from a Windows forum) tells you oaw: (see attachment) This allows you to download some Windows app while you're in Linux and paste it directly into a Windows directory.

[opensuse] Why is pdfchain not build for 15.0 Oss when it has been in Oss since before 42.3 - it's CRITICAL
by David C. Rankin 14 Nov '19

14 Nov '19

All, Devs Why is pdfchain no build for 15.0? It was there in 42.3. It's critical for anyone who needs to assemble pdf documents, such as faxes, exhibits, court filings, etc.. It is a wonderful gui that allows to you rotate and assemble many pdfs into a final document. I had a settlement and closing documents due by the 18th in Federal Court for the Sourthern Dist. of Texas and went to use pdfchain that was present before the zypper dup -- only to find out it is no longer on my system -- what?? It's something that was built and part of OSS, not some tangent repo. Can somebody go re-enable the build to add 15.0 and 15.1 to the build lists. This one caught me off guard. -- David C.

[opensuse] Cannot install Leap-15.1 on HP laptop
by Wolfgang Mueller 13 Nov '19

13 Nov '19

Today I tried to install Leap-15.1 on my new HP Pavilion Gaming Laptop 15-cx0112ng, but in vain. (Despite its name, I have no intention to use the laptop for games.) After inserting a bootable USB stick made from openSUSE-Leap-15.1-NET-x86_64.iso, I switched on the laptop and selected "Installation". This was the system's response: - Loading kernel - Loading initial ramdisk ... ... ... - Loading base drivers...ok - Starting hardware detection... But then an "ok" never appeared. Three overlapping green bars slowly grew from the left to the right for showing the hardware detection's progress. But after their arrival at the right-hand end, nothing happened any more. I waited one more hour, but in vain. I repeated this attempt of installation twice, loosing a lot of time, but without obtaining a different result. Unfortunately the laptop has no CD/DVD drive. So, there is no alternative to the installation with a bootable USB stick. Any help is welcome!

[opensuse] wireless intermittent
by Dave Howorth 13 Nov '19

13 Nov '19

I'm a complete noob when it comes to wireless! I just turned wireless on on my openSUSE PC (Leap 15.0) in order to be able to control a TP-Link HS110 smart plug. But the wireless seems to be flaky on the PC and I have no idea why. I set it up in YaST - I use Wicked - and it seemed to work, then it stopped, then it worked, then it didn't etc. YaST now says: RTL8821AE 802.11ac PCIe Wireless Network Adapter (Not connected) MAC : 80:a5:89:34:b8:27 BusID : 0000:03:00.0 Device Name: wlan0 Started automatically at boot IP address assigned using DHCP but on my router's network management page I can see an IP address for my PC's WLAN interface (it's on a different net to the wired LAN) and part of the time it indicates a connection and part not. When it does the signal strength is -73 dBm. Is it telling me there's an actual connection problem (needs a better antenna) or is there some other possibility? How can I tell for sure? Oh there's a bunch of stuff in the log that probably helps if I knew what it meant: 2019-11-09T17:33:48.960206+00:00 acer-suse kernel: [9051579.222125] wlan0: Connection to AP 9a:9b:cb:9d:ab:52 lost 2019-11-09T17:33:52.240230+00:00 acer-suse kernel: [9051582.502761] wlan0: authenticate with 9a:9b:cb:9d:ab:52 2019-11-09T17:33:52.240242+00:00 acer-suse kernel: [9051582.503188] wlan0: send auth to 9a:9b:cb:9d:ab:52 (try 1/3) 2019-11-09T17:33:52.244205+00:00 acer-suse kernel: [9051582.509073] wlan0: authenticated 2019-11-09T17:33:52.244217+00:00 acer-suse kernel: [9051582.509992] wlan0: associate with 9a:9b:cb:9d:ab:52 (try 1/3) 2019-11-09T17:33:52.250061+00:00 acer-suse kernel: [9051582.515266] wlan0: RX AssocResp from 9a:9b:cb:9d:ab:52 (capab=0x1431 status=0 aid=6) 2019-11-09T17:33:52.250072+00:00 acer-suse kernel: [9051582.515519] wlan0: associated 2019-11-09T17:33:52.276592+00:00 acer-suse wickedd-dhcp4[1406]: wlan0: Request to acquire DHCPv4 lease with UUID 5fdb3c5d-1de5-0b00-a505-00000d000000 2019-11-09T17:33:55.580226+00:00 acer-suse kernel: [9051585.842867] wlan0: deauthenticated from 9a:9b:cb:9d:ab:52 (Reason: 34=DISASSOC_LOW_ACK) etc etc -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
