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

I just tried to attach an iPad to my openSUSE 15.0 system, via USB. I
think I've done it before, but this time it fails. Dmesg has:

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.

Having seen a few posts here and elsewhere of late from satisfied Linux
users of Brother printers, after using HP for the last 15 years and my
current one dying a death only partly brought on by my fist, I decided
this week to buy a Brother DCP-J572DW.
I've unboxed it, done the initial standalone setup and selected my wifi
network. Now I need to install the drivers that I've downloaded from
Brother's website but Jesus pancakes, it wants to pull in a lot of
32-bit crap.
In addition to the four rpms, Brother also provide a setup script.
Before going through this I thought I'd just do a search to see if
others have done it this way or some other way. Mistake. Now I'm just
overloaded with possibles. On the openSUSE subreddit, some posts suggest
this script stalls looking for the libusb-0.1-4 package. One user
suggests it's seeking the 32-bit version of that too, and another user
reports success after installing that. There's also the suggestion any
user might need to be added to the lp group.
Other posts suggest ignoring the script and using zypper/yast to install
the rpms. Here's the list of packages set to be installed:
https://susepaste.org/55221c2c
I know it's only a bunch of files that use a relatively small amount of
disk space, but having a spanking new PC running a fresh Leap install
and a spanking new printer, I didn't want my software selection to be
dragged back a decade. Have any other users here had success setting up
full print/scan functions without installing all these dependencies, on
a similar Brother inkjet?
Brother's website also mentions needing to open the following ports:
incoming UDP Port 54925
outgoing TCP Port 54921
but a lot of the references are to versions of openSUSE 10.x or 11.x. It
all seems very out-of-date and might it be different now with firewalld?

A short while ago I saw Firefox on a Windows machine and was most
impressed by seeing the pages BLACK with text and pix from websites
displayed in their proper colours (ie as they normally appear on a
"normal" FF with its all white background colour).
Well, if you prefer not to have your eyes staring at a white background
all the time then you can (in the Tools>Addons) the theme called DARK
READER.
Also, the same applies to Thunderbird -- you can have the same black
background to look at which is more comfortable on the eyes. The theme
fo TB is called DEEP DARK.
FYI.

In my notes I saved this message from the past. The suggestion gets the
broken root mounted and then suggests using yast to reestablish grub:

Boot from an install medium, escape to a console by Ctrl-Alt-F2
In the bit below replace sdX# by the /dev/sdX# entry where your root fs is
located, f.e. /dev/sda2
Then do:
mount /dev/sdX# /mnt
mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev
mount --bind /proc /mnt/proc
mount --bind /sys /mnt/sys
chroot /mnt
yast
This worked for me last time (ext4 rootfs). There might be a simpler way,
but it go me up and running.
Once bootable, I often resolved nvidia X11 issues by just deinstalling then
reinstalling the relevant nvidia driver. Generally I've had no issues with
nvidia except when I've switched the hardware and need new drivers.
I don't find it to be the cause of many woes (tried Radian once for a short
while a decade ago, thought it was worse).
