something called Modem Manager. I've no idea what that is or why it would be active.
Modem Manager is apparently a QT and/or Plasma bloat component: # zypper se -s --requires ModemManager | ModemManager | package | 1.4.10-3.2 | x86_64 | OSS | ModemManager-devel | package | 1.4.10-3.2 | x86_64 | OSS | ModemManager-lang | package | 1.4.10-3.2 | noarch | OSS | libKF5ModemManagerQt-devel | package | 5.15.0-1.1 | x86_64 | OSS | libKF5ModemManagerQt-devel | package | 5.16.0-3.1 | x86_64 | Update | libKF5ModemManagerQt-devel | package | 5.19.0-6.3 | x86_64 | Update | libModemManagerQt-devel | package | 1.0.1-6.3 | x86_64 | OSS | libNetworkManagerQt-devel | package | 0.9.8.3-2.2 | x86_64 | OSS | libNetworkManagerQt1 | package | 0.9.8.3-2.2 | x86_64 | OSS | modem-manager-gui | package | 0.0.17.1-4.10 | x86_64 | OSS | package-lists-openSUSE-images | package | 42.1-26.1 | x86_64 | OSS | plasma-nm5 | package | 5.4.2-1.2 | x86_64 | OSS | plasma-nm5 | package | 5.4.3-3.2 | x86_64 | Update | plasma-nm5 | package | 5.5.4-6.3 | x86_64 | Update | plasma-nm5 | package | 5.5.5-9.1 | x86_64 | Update
Trying to get rid of MM tries to get rid of the foundation of KDE:
Hmm, I don't use KDE, though there are still a bunch of installed packages with names like kde* and I may want to use some random kde application at some point, so I'll leave those I suppose. I deleted ModemManager and it had no dependencies. There's also something called libmm-glib0 that has the same description but it is required by NetworkManager, which I also don't use but perhaps is likely to cause more problems if deleted. The ModemManager messages seem to be associated with the Firewall messages rather than wicked. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
