[oS-en] What can cause NM to choose the worse WiFi signal available?

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I was trying to watch a video, old laptop connected to the sitting room TV, but VLC was having trouble, then NFS having trouble, not mounting the share, then sshfs also having trouble... (with a reboot in the middle, and an update yesterday). Then I notice that NM applet indicate an horrible signal level. This is daft, the laptop sits 2 metres away from the house router with a perfect signal, yet it connects to the other WiFi on the house level above, terrible signal. Why would it do that? The machine is still on Leap 15.4, but has been running perfect for months. I just hibernated after each video session, no trouble, NFS working reliably. I just did run an update yesterday, and NFS was not automatically up after reboot. Did not occur to me to check the WiFi. Why would NFS not switch over automatically to a much better signal? - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.

strange problem with BT in KDE Plasma: bluez claims "file transfer succeded" but does not save, now does not even connect. Seems broken.

Connecting from my smartphone with BT to bluez, I can send files with "share", the BT bluez of my PC says transfer running, transfer succeeded, but the it claims "cannot save files" and now file is saved indeed. I have no explanation, the directory is the home directory of the user with a dedicated BT download directory, I checked permissions and did chmod on it to make sure all files and the directory have the correct permissions. That was yesterday, now it is even worse (yesterday I detached and reattached the BT dongle) so it shows connected, even the battery remaining on the smartphone but.... the sending process remains 0 and no notice in KDE appears. After a while it interrupts. No idea why it did not save yesterday, why it does not receive the files today...... Does anybody has and Android smartphone and tried to use BT file transfer on KDE Plasma to tell me if it is known to be broken?

Hey, I was just made aware that memtest_vulkan does not support testing for the Nvidia Kepler based GPU’s. https://github.com/GpuZelenograd/memtest_vulkan/issues/34 Can you inform me of how better to test this Nvidia Kepler GPU’s onboard memory with possibly a program or what should I consider doing at this point to verify the integrity of the video cards onboard memory?

Working with smartctl in (CLI):

Hi there. I am doing some work with 'smartctl' in (CLI) Konsole environment. When I pass 'smartctl -t long /dev/sda' the following is displayed: smartctl 7.4 2023-08-01 r5530 [x86_64-linux-6.7.6-1-default] (SUSE RPM) Copyright (C) 2002-23, Bruce Allen, Christian Franke, www.smartmontools.org === START OF OFFLINE IMMEDIATE AND SELF-TEST SECTION === Sending command: "Execute SMART Extended self-test routine immediately in off-line mode". Drive command "Execute SMART Extended self-test routine immediately in off-line mode" successful. Testing has begun. Please wait 10 minutes for test to complete. Test will complete after Fri Mar 1 16:32:28 2024 CST Use smartctl -X to abort test. Thinkcentre-M57p:~> I do not understand why this dumps back to prompt so quickly (in the Konsole instance). Ok, it is because "smartctl" sends the test off to the drives firmware. Is the "smartctl" application running? I cannot see a process output by reviewing 'ps -aux' either. How can I see the test status? Yes, I have been reviewing 'man smartctl' as shown below. Thinkcentre-M57p:~> ps -aux | grep "smartctl" root 9367 0.0 0.0 6432 3200 pts/2 S+ 15:54 0:00 man smartctl pj 11326 0.0 0.0 6592 2176 pts/4 S+ 16:41 0:00 grep --color=auto smartctl Thinkcentre-M57p:~> I review the test results with passing '# smartctl -iA -d ata -T verypermissive /dev/sda' *but* I want to know how to view the entire log file of the test though like I can see when 'GSmartControl' 'extended test' is run in (GUI). In 'smartctl' 'man page' it has '-l TYPE' but no type displays the full robust log from what I can see in 'GSmartControl' so far in my mind. Can you tell me more about what is going on here and how to review the full log? -Thanks
