XSane
by Douglas McGarrett 26 Sep '21

26 Sep '21

Now that I can see the Epson printer and print to it, I would like to get the scanner to work also. When I select XSane Scanner Tool, I get a box "no devices available" --the scanner is part of the Epson printer and works manually. I wonder if this is the problem I had several years ago that required an addition to one of the driver files, but I don't know how to find out. I think I did mention it in a note to the group, but I don't know if that was for the scanner or the printer. (Also, there seem to be several email paths to the folks at OS, so I don't know which one it would have been.) --doug

test

test message. -- As a general rule, men expect disappointment: they know they must not be impatient, that it will come sooner or later, that it will hold off long enough for them to proceed with their undertakings of the moment. The disabused man is different: for him, disappointment occurs at the same time as the deed; he has no need to await it, it is present. By freeing himself from succession, he has devoured the possible and rendered the future superfluous. "I cannot meet you in your future." he says to the others. "We do not have a single moment in common." Because for him the whole of the future is already here. When we perceive the end in the beginning, we move faster than time. Illumination, that lightning disappointment, affords a certitude which transforms disillusion into deliverance. ~E. M. Cioran

Leap 15.2 no GUI login screen
by Mark Hounschell 24 Sep '21

24 Sep '21

This is a system that was just updated from leap-15 using proprietary nvidia drivers to leap-15.2 using nouveau drivers. It was done using the "zypper dup" method. When I boot to level-3 then login as user, I can startx and I have my desktop. Where the GUI login screen usually is is just my mount pointer. I'm pretty sure I got rid of all the nvidia stuff. The nouveau kernel driver is loaded. #journalctl shows a problem but what do I do to fix it.

problem with install of openSUSE-Tumbleweed-DVD-x86_64-Snapshot20210916-Media.iso
by George R Goffe 24 Sep '21

24 Sep '21

Hi, I just got through the install of this iso. There is a problem though. I can not login. I think I'm using the right password but the tty(?) is behaving as though the typmatic keys are on steroids. When I type one character many characters appear, sometimes MANY MANY appear. I'm VERY new to Tumbleweed and do not know what to do. Can I get some help with this please? Best regards and STAY SAFE! George...

Multiple monitors in oS 15.3
by Roger Oberholtzer 23 Sep '21

23 Sep '21

We have generally had no trouble setting up multiple monitors on openSUSE. It has been working for quite a while. I have a oS 15.3 install with KDE and an intel GPU. On this computer, booting, say, 42,3 works perfect in this respect. However, on 15.3, the settings for multiple displays do not stay after logging out. All is always set back to just using the display in HDMI1. The other two on HDMI2 and HDMI3 are forgotten. I have to fiddle with the group and then the three displays are available for arrange. But all is gone after a logout/login. I see this bug: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=436648 Could this be what is happening here? I don't see a solution. But it sounds like it is in the same area. Does anyone else have an issue with multiple monitors (settings not remembered across logins) in oS 15.3 and KDE? -- Roger Oberholtzer

TW with kernel 5.14.5 can't detect Realtek network devices
by Ariez Vachha - openSUSE 23 Sep '21

23 Sep '21

Folks! Did the upgrade latest TW upgrade with kernel 5.14.5 - Does not recognise either my Ethernet or Wifi devices. I have used grub to boot back to Kernel: 5.14.2-1-default. "hwinfo --network" only returns the loopback!!! Waiting for Realtek r8168 Ethernet and rtw89pci Wifi modules on Sauerland hardware repo, but I wonder if this will work if the kernel can't even detect the HW. Anyone else had this problem? -- Regards, Ariez ajv(a)opensuse.org
