Hi,
I have a new sound problem.
The machine is my previous desktop machine, maybe 10 year old, running a
relatively new system with Leap 15.3, and XFCE desktop. I watch movies
on it, and the headphones do not work.
Sound taken from the line.out output of the sound card goes to the loud
speakers, and they work. If I connect the headphones on the front, I
hear a very low hiss on them; the loudspeakers go silent, but no actual
sound on the headphones. I see on the "audio mixer" gadget that output
changes from "line out (plugged in)" to "headphones (plugged in)", so
they are detected.
But if I take out the jack just slightly, I can get sound on both
devices. The mixer tool says that I have just line out. So I get working
headphones if I tune down the external volume control on the external
speakers.
This means that the hardware front jack is actually connected and works,
but the software is not working, once it detects the headphones are
connected and does something about it.
I don't know what info to provide, but here goes what I can think of:

I've bought a generic USB-based SIM/smart card reader to see if I can
read a SIM. It came without any useful instructions or software. I have
no idea about the infrastructure of such software/hardware on linux.
I've discovered and installed pcsc-lite and pcsc-ccid and pcsc-tools
When I plug in the reader, it's reported in the journal:

Anybody know anything about these devices and can advise or point me to

Well
I can confirm that the 15.4 installer is working now onto this specific
system. Thanks everybody for helping.

Hi,
My question is not really specific to OpenSUSE, but here goes.
On the latest count, I'm managing about a hundred installations: root servers,
local servers, desktop PCs and laptops. Some of these are in our local school,
some for a handful of companies all over France and even some in Belgium and
Switzerland. Root servers are mostly Scaleway rentals in France. And then the
inevitable desktops managed for friends and families.
Over the years I've been using various methods to keep track of all these
installations, notably specificities like BIOS configuration details, exotic
hardware, extra applications besides those I usually install, etc. In the
beginning it was just a simple text file per machine, then I moved on to the
CherryTree note-taking application, but I'm still not satisfied with the
current solution.
Usually computer estate management software like GLPI or OSTicket can be
relatively complex. I prefer to stick to the KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid)
principle.
So I'm curious: what methods do you use to keep an overview over your
installations ? In a nutshell, the sort of file or series of files where you
can get all the relevant information about an installation in a quick glance ?
Thanks & cheers from France,
Niki

That sounds like your media isn't perhaps as valid as you think.
Checksum failure?

Hello everybody
I have a 6 years old still powerful enough pc. I tried many times
to install open suse leap 15.3 but failed. What happened is that the
installation media send me to something like yast on terminal to choose
media, an action always failing whatever i choose. I send you my
hardware list. I am looking for someone facing similar problems and how
can be fixed. And i am asking if someone installed leap 15.4 into
similar hardware. This pc is running now ubuntu 22.04
Best regards
George

All,
After the 15.4 update, my touchpad was slow and I couldn't program a 0.5
second disabling of the touchpad when a key was pressed resulting in problems
typing and my palm contacting the touchpad.
I have always used syndaemon to disable the touchpad while typing, but it
was nowhere to be found. synclient also provides a number of features not
available with xinput.
Both syndaemon and synclient are in xf86-input-synaptics. Installed, and
copied the 70-synaptics.conf to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ and restarted X and
presto, my touchpad is zinging away again and syndaemon disables the touchpad
while typing (but not for control or control+key combos).
If your touchpad is a synaptics device, installing xf86-input-synaptics
provides a great deal more in configuration. You can check your touchpad with
`xinput --list`, e.g.
$ xinput --list
⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ Microsoft Microsoft 3-Button Mouse with IntelliEye(TM) id=9 [slave
pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ PS/2 Generic Mouse id=12 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad id=13 [slave pointer (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)]
↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Power Button id=6 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Video Bus id=7 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Sleep Button id=8 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ HP HD Webcam [Fixed]: HP HD Web id=10 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard id=11 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ HP WMI hotkeys id=14 [slave keyboard (3)]
My synaptics touchpad has id=13. synclient -l will provide a detailed list
of capabilities and options (and to a lesser extent 'xinput --list-props 13'
will provide the options reachable through xinput)

Hi,
I'm the manager of a small IT firm with a focus on Linux and Open Source
software. On my servers I'm running a mix of various RHEL clones like CentOS,
Oracle Linux and Rocky Linux. On the desktop side, I've been using OpenSUSE
Leap with KDE since version 15.0.
Leap is powering all the desktop clients in our local school, and everybody
(school staff, teachers, students) is very happy with it.
I just finished polishing up my bone-headed post-install configuration script
for Leap 15.4:
https://gitlab.com/kikinovak/opensuse-lp154/-/blob/main/setup.sh
And I just learned that SUSE will phase out Leap after the 15.5 release.
So here's a few thoughts I want to share with the distribution maintainers.
1. Perennity anyone ? Duh ?
2. After the CentOS debacle in 2020, it looks like distribution maintainers
love pissing off their userbase by pulling the rug from under their feet. Hint:
we hate it.
3. Some official SUSE guy on Twitter who shall remain unnamed likes to explain
on a regular basis that rolling releases are the future and folks who rely on
releases are utterly clueless. As someone who tried to maintain a dozen
production client desktops based on Arch Linux as far back as 2006 and failed
miserably after a udev update broke everything, here's a thought from my
professional experience. My Number One Fight Club rule: YOU DO NOT USE ROLLING
RELEASES IN A PRODUCTION ENVIRONMENT. Yes, I shouted that out loud.
4. Yes, I have Tumbleweed running on a spare sandbox PC. Yes, it works nicely.
No, I will never (ever) use it in production.
5. Stop reinventing the wheel please. You young punks remind me of myself when
I was three years old and tried to "repair" my parent's perfectly functional
alarm clock.
Cheers from the blazing hot South of France,
