[oS-EN] Question on full disk encription
by Carlos E. R. 02 Sep '23

02 Sep '23

Hi, new laptop here, and I decided to install Leap 15.4 with full disk encryption, no LVM (a feature I wanted to have for years, so I'm happy). It asks for the password twice (contrary to my customs, I'm using plymouth). It asks once before grub loads. Well, ok, there is no separate /boot, so it has to read "/" which is encrypted. Nice. But after selecting the boot entry in grub, it asks again. Once, despite being 3 partitions ("/", "/boot" and swap). Ok. Is there some way to make it ask only once? I guess not, but perhaps I'm wrong. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from Elesar, using openSUSE Leap 15.4)

KDE keyboard layout not starting on login
by Stratos Zolotas 15 May '23

15 May '23

Hello, I have a strange issue that appears in two systems. One Tumbleweed and one 15.4. I use en and gr keyboard layouts configured from the KDE settings. Although the setting is valid and as soon as I apply it the keyboard layout indicator appears in the system tray, after reboot it disappears and I have to go and re-apply the settings (it is not deleted just not "executed") to make it visible and working again. I usually use keep last session on KDE but I also tried to start with a clean session or with a manual saved session. Nothing seems to affect the keyboard layout indicator, it is always disappearing after reboot. Both systems were working as expected before. The only difference is that the issue on 15.4 appeared just after dist-upgrading from 15.3. Any ideas on how to debug it? Regards Stratos

[oS-en] Suddenly, mouse wheel doesn't work.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, Suddenly, mouse wheel doesn't work. It was working, and suddenly it stopped working. I was seeing strange messages in log related to usb, so I unplugged/replugged the mouse, no effect. I downgraded the kernel several versions, no effect. Middle button, which shares the wheel, works. Leap 15.4. XFCE. What can I do to diagnose? This one is a trackball. I connected at the same time a second mouse, cheapo, and it works fine.

There are also times when modules are loaded unnecessarily. I think even the 2.2 series kernel had more than four or five modules :-) Much will depend on what you do with your Linux systems, how many you have and how varied they are.

I have been in most of them. No, I have totally missed that. I thought you were talking about having to create initrds manually. For the last couple of years, I have not been in a single situation where I _had_ to run mkinitrd. dracut was very useful though. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (16.2°C) Member, openSUSE Heroes (2016 - present) We're hiring - https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Heroes
