SDDM Wayland

I'm using Leap 15.5 with the KDE Frameworks, Plasma, and Applications repos. I've recently tried launching SDDM as a Wayland client itself using the following config [General] DisplayServer=wayland Unfortunately, the login screen never appears, and the journal log reports Sep 16 18:03:20 linux-lptp1 systemd[1]: Started Session 2 of User sddm.

DVD player doesn't recognize DVD's
by Mark Misulich 26 Sep '24

26 Sep '24

Hi, I have built up a new computer and the DVD RW doesn't recognize DVDs. I have tried it with a commercially written DVD, and with a blank DVD +RW. The player spins and tries to recognize the DVD without success until it times out and stops spinning. The other player on this computer is a Blu-Ray RW player that I salvaged from a computer my neighbor threw out in the trash. When I put a commercially written DVD or a blank DVD in the Blu-ray player it is recognized, and a written disc is recognized as the source disc in K3b. But no disc is ever recognized in the DVD RW player as the destination. Here's some info to begin with as I tried to troubleshoot this: # dmesg | grep -E -i --color 'cdrom|dvd|cd/rw|writer' [ 1.846359] [ T732] ata5.00: ATAPI: TSSTcorp CDDVDW SH-S223L, SB02, max UDMA/100 [ 1.848860] [ T187] scsi 4:0:0:0: CD-ROM TSSTcorp CDDVDW SH-S223L SB02 PQ: 0 ANSI: 5 [ 2.152487] [ T584] sr 4:0:0:0: [sr0] scsi3-mmc drive: 48x/48x writer dvd-ram cd/rw xa/form2 cdda tray [ 2.152489] [ T584] cdrom: Uniform CD-ROM driver Revision: 3.20 [ 2.324886] [ T584] sr 5:0:0:0: [sr1] scsi3-mmc drive: 48x/48x writer dvd-ram cd/rw xa/form2 cdda tray # more /proc/sys/dev/cdrom/info CD-ROM information, Id: cdrom.c 3.20 2003/12/17 drive name: sr1 sr0 drive speed: 48 48 drive # of slots: 1 1 Can close tray: 1 1 Can open tray: 1 1 Can lock tray: 1 1 Can change speed: 1 1 Can select disk: 0 0 Can read multisession: 1 1 Can read MCN: 1 1 Reports media changed: 1 1 Can play audio: 1 1 Can write CD-R: 1 1 Can write CD-RW: 1 1 Can read DVD: 1 1 Can write DVD-R: 1 1 Can write DVD-RAM: 1 1 Can read MRW: 0 1 Can write MRW: 0 1 Can write RAM: 1 1 I pared this to just the players # lsblk sr0 11:0 1 1024M 0 rom sr1 11:1 1 2.2G 0 rom I know only enough to check and see if the player is recognized by the system (Tumbleweed), I'll need some help to go farther. Thanks, Mark

qemu help needed
by Frank McCormick 26 Sep '24

26 Sep '24

I hope there are some QEMU experts on this list. I am running QEMU under Tumbleweed and have 3 other distros installed. The one common thing among the three...if I leave their desktops untouched for 10 or 15 minutes, my keyboard gets forgotten by QEMU. When I come back to the virtual machine, the keyboard is completely unresponsive and the machine will have to be shutdown and re-run to get it back. The mouse however continues to work. All three other distros have the identical PROBLEM so it's to connected to them. I am running a wireless (USB) Logitech keyboard and mouse combo which, outside of QEMU never gives me problems. I have googled the problem several times recently but that proved fruitless. Hope someone here has a solution or a suggestion. Thanks

Audio Issues When In-place Upgrading to Leap 15.6
by Lew Wolfgang 24 Sep '24

24 Sep '24

Hi Folks, I'm encountering audio issues after in-place upgrades from Leap 15.5 to 15.6. Out of three upgrades so far, I lost sound on a HP laptop and a Dell desktop. An MSI desktop is working okay. I have to admit I haven't had sound issues with openSUSE for decades, or so it seems, and I'm rusty a diagnosing what's going on. I vaguely recall a thread here about pulseaudio issues, could this be related? If I'm seeing this on two out of three upgrades this must be a common problem. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Regards, Lew

Hello, On the very last (since some time) Tumbleweed, the very usefull "Kim" menu management do not work anymore (no more right clic menu entries) it's from: https://software.opensuse.org/download/package?package=kim&project=home%3Ab… before disturbing Bruno, do you have the same problem, or is my install at fault? for people that don't know it, installing that package should add to the right clic menu of any image file options to change size, compress and some other useful actions thanks jdd -- https://dodin.org

Nvidia: turing+ new open driver rpms versus?
by Michael Hamilton 20 Sep '24

20 Sep '24

I have a Turing card, so it's possible for me to switch from the "easy-way" to the new open driver. But I'm a little confused over the advantages and differences from the easy-way (or the hard-way for that matter). Is the new open driver in rpm-form in essence another "easy-way" option? Specifically, will automatically rebuild for kernel changes without a driver reinstall being necessary? The open driver rpms come from an opensuse repository, so does that mean that the newer 560 drivers might eventually be made an option - stepping around their unavailability via the old "easy-way"? If the new open driver rpms are installed, what is the OpenSUSE suggested way of obtaining the associated utilities, such as nvidia-settings? Do I specifically have to choose it, or will yast/zypper prefer the new open driver rpms for cards that support it? I think I read there might be some limitations with the new open driver - possibly it's better for wayland? Are there other questions I should be asking, but have overlooked? As a side note, I think the "hard-way" installer may choose the new open drivers if the card supports it - is that correct? If answers to the above are already written up somewhere, just point me to the link. Thanks, Michael

Dell BIOS bombed OpenSuSE!
by Marc Chamberlin 19 Sep '24

19 Sep '24

I dunno why I am suddenly not able to send emails from my email server to this list, everything is bouncing back to me. So I am going to try from a different computer to see if that helps. Sorry if this turns into a duplicate post, not my intention! Hi, I have a Dell laptop that I had set up to dual boot OpenSuSE 15.5 and Windows 11. Recently, upon powering up my laptop, I got a notice saying the time had not been properly set up in the BIOS. So, for the first time, I figured out how to open up the BIOS settings, took a look at the time setting, and was puzzled to find it was OK. When I exited the BIOS setup the laptop then directly booted up the Windows 11 system. Powering off, then back on resulted in the same behavior, the GRUB menu that allowed me to select which system to boot up, no longer appears. Near as I can figure, something about bringing up the BIOS menu destroyed the Grub boot menu! Any ideas on what the heck is going on with Dell's Bios? I am trying to ask Dell this question, but so far no response. What is the best way for restoring GRUB and get back my ability to boot up OpenSuSE? Marc...

buildservice - Why am I getting delete requests for my branched projects?
by David C. Rankin 18 Sep '24

18 Sep '24

Devs, Since the Nvidia G05 drivers are not up to date, I branched and patched a community project to make sure that an updated driver for Tumbleweed was available. Now I'm receiving delete requests form some unknown "moderator" for the reason of saving space?? If the problem is the branched status, then how do I turn the branched project into a normal project under my account? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
