Thank you for your reply, Masaru. > snd-hda-intel is a kernel module which is this: > /lib/modules/[kernel-version]-default/kernel/sound/pci/hda/snd-hda-intel.ko On my computer it is /lib/modules/5.3.18-59.5-default/kernel/sound/pci/hda/snd-hda-intel.ko.xz which has to be unpacked by "unxz". This file is the same than that on my computer "se", where setting up the sound cards has been possible. > To get the sound card's information, execute: > > $ /usr/sbin/alsa-info.sh --with-devices > > This produces the file 'alsa-info.txt.XXXXX' on /tmp folder. > In it, you can get the information for setting up. It contains a lot of information, but no hint how to set up my sound cards. Please have a look on the file attached below. Best regards, Wolfgang

I dont remember ever having seen any azure related stuff on my opensuse systems in the past, i dont use or need or want azure? when is 15.3 actually being considered final and settled when leap 15.2 users have had and are still having these fundamental problems due to the upgrade to 15.3? is 15.3 always gonna be a second class citizen? is this to be expected for 15.4 or whatever comes next? i was really irritated and disappointed when like still within the final hours of the 15.3 release the mailing-list already showed that feature lock down for 15.4 was already being done within days. I kind of already feel the next faily stages and procedures and situations incoming for 15.4 over again. I have not yet dared and attampted to upgrade my 15.2 systems so far, when this very simple and most basic 15.2 test system expressed so many woes and bugs with the upgrade to 15.3 already :( ty

Display (login) manager for XFCE and Wayland
by Jeffrey Taylor 14 Jul '21

AFAICT, XFCE uses GTK and I see GTK Wayland libraries installed. I'm currently using LightDM. What Display Manager would allow me to try out Wayland with XFCE? TIA, Jeffrey

Cannot start KDE
by Wolfgang Mueller 12 Jul '21

12 Jul '21

On my new HP 15s-eq2147, because of the lack of an ethernet connection, installing Leap 15.3 from openSUSE-Leap-15.3-NET-x86_64.iso was impossible. So, I had to use openSUSE-Leap-15.3-DVD-x86_64.iso, which does not use internet repositories. Installing was easy and much faster than from the net, but at the end, KDE did not appear. Pressing F7 shows a black screen only. Then I tried "startx", but in vain. I have stored the output on http://ariannuccia.de/temp/startx.txt and the content of ~/.local/share/xorg/Xorg.0.log on http://ariannuccia.de/temp/Xorg.0.log. Please have a look at these two files. Do they contain information for correcting the KDE implementation? Meanwhile I have access to the internet, thanks to Stephan Hemeier's rtw88-kmp-default-git20210702_k5.3.18_57-lp153.2.2.x86_64.rpm, but I don't know which package to install for making KDE run. Thanks in advance, Wolfgang

Why has klogconsole been removed from the util-linux rpm in 15.3? Is there a replacement? Regards Mark

OpenSUSE Tumbleweed equivalent of /etc/init.d?
by Simon Connah 12 Jul '21

12 Jul '21

Hi, I'm trying to install VMWare Workstation Pro 16 onto my Tumbleweed system, and the installer is asking for the location of system scripts. I'm not entirely sure where that location is on Tumbleweed. Can someone point me in the right direction, please? Thank you. Simon.

Upgrade to LEAP 15.3 for production servers?
by Simon Connah 11 Jul '21

11 Jul '21

Hi, I was wondering if anyone here had already upgraded production servers to LEAP 15.3 from LEAP 15.2? Have all the initial release bugs been squashed? I don't do anything super complex with my servers, but I don't mind waiting for some outstanding problems to be fixed. Any advice? Simon.

Update announcements -- Leap 15.3
by Darryl Gregorash 11 Jul '21

11 Jul '21

Why do I keep seeing updates announced in the list, when zypper lu says there is nothing to install? I just got a dump of 34 of them, maybe 50, and out of all that, all I needed was an update to X. (And no, it's not because I don't have those packages installed.) It's also amusing to see a security update for Thunderbird to: > MozillaThunderbird-78.10.2-8.27.1 when current installed version is: > MozillaThunderbird-78.11.0-8.30.1.x86_64

Cannot install 15.3 on Acer Aspire 3
by Wolfgang Mueller 10 Jul '21

10 Jul '21

Today I bought a laptop with the following specifications: Acer Aspire 3 (A317-52-30X0) 17,3" FHD IPS, i3-1005G1, 8GB RAM, 512GB SSD, Linuxs Then I inserted the USB stick, which I had made bootable using openSUSE-Leap-15.3-NET-x86_64.iso, i.e. for installation from network, and switched the computer on. Now, with the appropriate choice in the bios and the selection of "Installation", it boots and loads the online repositories. Then it asks for the "System Role": I select "Desktop with KDE Plasma". Afterwards "Suggested Partitioning" appears; but I choose "Expert Partitioner" --> "Start with Existing Partitions". Then a table appears: > Device Size F Enc Type Label Mount Point > sda 7.84GiB usb 0x058f-Spaceloop 8GB > sda1 3.45MiB EFI System-Partition-Partition > sda2 142.42MiB ISO 9660 Partition openSUSE-Leap-15.3-NET-x86_64160 Now, when I try to add a partition, it shows a limit of 7.7GiB, i.e. 7.84GiB of the USB stick minus space for sda1 and sda2 (see table above). So, I am offered the USB stick for partitioning, which makes no sense because I want to partition the hard disk of 512GiB. How can I get access to the hard disk? Thank you in advance, Wolfgang
