[opensuse] Bug in usb drivers? "Not enough bandwidth for new device state"
by Markus Egg 28 Feb '22

28 Feb '22

SuSE Tumbleweed with newest updates and upgrades. 5.7.1-1-default #1 SMP Wed Jun 10 11:53:46 UTC 2020 (6a549f6) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Just recently started to give error messages when plugging in e.g. USB Headsets, Arduino Uno into some Exsys USB 3.0 hub. This was working fine in Tumbleweed before and in e.g. SuSE 13.1. The error message is e.g.: [...]usb 2-1.4.3: new full-speed USB device number 10 using xhci_hcd [...]usb 2-1.4.3: New USB device found, idVendor=2341, idProduct=0043, bcdDevice= 0.01 [...]usb 2-1.4.3: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=220 [...]usb 2-1.4.3: Manufacturer: Arduino (www.arduino.cc) ...serialnumber... [...]kernel: usb 2-1.4.3: Not enough bandwidth for new device state. [...]kernel: usb 2-1.4.3: can't set config #1, error -28 This error message started on Jun 04, after making an update (zypper up) on June 3rd. A USB3.0 stick is working on the Exsys Hub. The Arduino is working on some other USB 3.0 Port of another hub. Regression? Any hints how to get this away?

Audio problem Leap-15.3
by Mark Hounschell 09 Feb '22

09 Feb '22

On a machine I did a "zypper dup" to update from 15.2 to 15.3, the 15.3 does not have sound at bootup. Sound card is: # lspci | grep -i audio 16:00.4 Audio device: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.

How to connect via WiFi
by Wolfgang Mueller 22 Jan '22

22 Jan '22

My new computer is an HP 15s-eq2147 FHD RYZ5-5 16GB 512 SSD DOS It has no cable connection to the internet, but only access via WiFi. Installing Leap 15.3 was no problem, but so far I did not manage to establish a WiFi connection. Using Yast, I set up a wicked service with fixed address, getting this list: Device Name: wlan0 Configured with address 192.168.2.16/24 (acer.ariannuccia.zz) Starting automatically on cable connection I find it somewhat absurd that a cable connection is required even for WiFi. Since I have no cable connection, I am looking for a work around. Any idea? The "Authentication Mode" offers these 5 options: No Encryption WEP - Open WEP - Shared Key WPA-EAP ("enterprise") WPA-PSK ("home") On my router (192.168.2.1) there are these "Encryption type": Unencrypted (not recommended) WPA2 (very secure) WPA / WPA2 (secure) WPA (secure) For avoiding problems with the correspondence of these methods, I have selected "No Encryption" on my computer and "Unencrypted (not recommended)" on my router. But the connection does not work. Any attempt to ping the router from the new computer is rejected with the reply: connect: Network is unreachable Any help would be welcome. Thank you in advance and best regards, Wolfgang

smartctl
by mcgarrett 07 Dec '21

07 Dec '21

I have been beating my head against smartctl for over two hours now. I cannot seem to get the command "long" accepted, as the various tutorials explain. When I try to insert it, I get an error, like this: linux1:~ # smartctl long /dev/nvme0n1 smartctl 7.0 2019-05-21 r4917 [x86_64-linux-5.3.18-57-default] (SUSE RPM) Copyright (C) 2002-18, Bruce Allen, Christian Franke, www.smartmontools.org ERROR: smartctl takes ONE device name as the final command-line argument. You have provided 2 device names: long /dev/nvme0n1 (It doesn't like "short" either.) And my typing is getting worse! It doesn't help that my drive is called /dev/nvme0n1. As I mentioned earlier, the lightning strike has damaged something in this, my main computer, and I'm trying to find out what. For those who missed the earlier post, the only thing I can connect to here is the internet. I cannot see the printers or the laptop machine, and nmap basically doesn't work. I started this quest at 11:30 PM and it's now 3:30 AM. I'm going to bed! --doug

[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

Problem with software raid and Tumbleweed
by Markus Egg 15 Sep '21

15 Sep '21

Hello, I got Tumbleweed Snapshot20210115 and wanted to install it on a rather old machine with a software raid1 (UEFI raid). On this raid some Windows 10 is already existing. The installer of Tumbleweed Snapshot20210115 does not recognize this software raid1. It only shows single harddiscs and no raid volume. An older snapshot 20190704 is able to see that software raid1 but I cannot do any zypper dup with that one (this version was running previously before some hardware crash). Any help for that - either a snapshot which can handle software raid1 or some way to set zypper dup running again with the older snapshot? BR and thanks in advance Markus

goodbye
by mcgarrett 27 Aug '21

27 Aug '21

After the lightning bolixed up all the computers, I bought a cheap refurb that had Windows10 Home on it. I decided to make a partition for OpenSUSE Leap 15.3. I used gparted to shrink windows and make a partition for Leap 15.3. I downloaded the latest version and installed it. It seems to have wiped out Windows and created for itself something that must be related to hell. Most of the apps that I could download and install on a version from last Fall are gone and unfindable, When I placed the few that I could find on the desktop, when I rebooted they were gone. So was Windows.The only thing I could do that remained was to get rid of the ugly stock desktop and replace it with something pleasant. I have used Linux for almost 20 years, and I really don't understand Windows, on a partially working machine, or want to, but I'm having to use it until I find a new Linux. WHAT HAVE YOU DONE? It's like KDE is GONE! The folks here on the mailing lists have been more than helpful to me, and I am grateful to them, but now I will have to find something--probably Mint with a KDE overlay--that I can live with. I will really miss the root version of Dolphin. Written from a badly damaged Windows computer (that has a usable Leap 15 on it) but still reads and sends mail on an ugly app from optimum.net. (Claws mail I never got to work.) --doug

KDE3 ARK displaying messed up timestamp for files in ZIP archive.
by Alec Destry 03 Aug '21

03 Aug '21

Unzip, some years ago, when listing files in an archive, showed the timestamp for those files in the format of MM-DD-YY. Now, unzip, when listing files in an archive, shows the timestamp for those files in the format of YYYY-MM-DD. This change in how unzip shows timestamps has caused KDE3 ARK to show a messed up timestamp when viewing a ZIP archive. Are there any plans to fix this? Has this already been fixed in some version of kdeutils3-*x86_64.rpm that I haven't been able to find, even though I've checked many kdeutils3-*x86_64.rpm packages going up to opensuse 15.3? Alternatively, since one fix is simply adding statements to the C source for ARK to convert unzip's new timestamp of YYYY-MM-DD to the old format of MM-DD-YY before letting the rest of ARK's C source process that, but also keeping in mind that I have no clue where to find that C source code for ARK since I've had zero involvement in any KDE3 development and therefore have no familiarity with how anything is structured or what the labels mean, could someone point me to the exact C source for ARK where it processes the unzip timestamps, so that I can fix ARK myself.
