I have 42.3 on my hdd and I downloaded 15.1 in a USB stick. Is there a way to load the USB to the hdd and install 15.1 directly or must I install 15..0 first? I know that it will wipe my hdd but I don't have any major files. I don't see a way to back-up files, which app would I use? Thank you.

LEAP 15.1 Software Update and the google-chrome-beta repo
Signature verification for Repository google-chrome-beta failed:
Software Update at the start of a session was working fine until yesterday when the google-chrome-beta repo started giving me a Signature Verification error.
Disabling and then enabling the repo in yast gave me the gpg error that one always gets when installing google chrome or the beta, but after answering the "Do you want to use it anyway" question with a positive, allows the refresh of repos to proceed fine.
Zypper dup does not give me the error with the repo enabled, and, my 2 Tumbleweed installs aren't showing the error either. It's only happening when using Software Update on Leap 15.1 from within KDE.
Is anyone else seeing this error? Any advice?

LEAP 15.1 How to start appimaged via systemd
Guru's,
I am struggeling a bit with starting appimaged via systemd. The appimaged package is installed and comes with a service file in /usr/lib/systemd/user/appimaged.service (which makes sence since it should run under uid of a "normal" user).
In /home/arjan/.config/systemd/user/graphical.target.wants a link is made to the (package) appimaged.service file:
The service file itself is straightforward:
I have enabled (as user arjan) appimaged but after login appimaged is not started, however if I start it manually it does what it should do.
Any hints or tips on what I am missing?

LEAP 15.1 Permissions of the USB block under /dev/bus/usb
This may be a weird question... but I'm interested in learning.
Under /dev/bus/usb, this is how some of the USB "blocks" look:
When plugging a USB stick just one more file "004" is added, with exact same data.
I see these devices have permissions 554, owned only by root. But I have seen in other distributions (Debian and Fedora for example, IIRC) that these same devices have additionally extended ACLs, giving the current logged-in user rw permissions.
Why isn't this the case with openSUSE? Just distribution's policies?

TUMBLEWEED Issues when accessing folders with special characters (Umlaute)
Hello,
approximately 10 days ago (around Jan 6), my LibreOffice started to show issues when I wanted to open a folder which has special characters in its name. Since the LibreOffice release did not change, I suspect that the issue is in the underlying system, e.g. Plasma. (Hence, the LibreOffice people will claim not to be repsonsible, I suppose.)
LibreOffice seems to use a standard file dialog; when I click on a folder in the tree (like "Entwürfe"), I now get an error dialog "The specified folder does not exist or was not readable". I can, however, expand the subtree of this folder in the detail view and then access the files in there. Also, I can open a file with Umlaut characters. I just cannot double-click on the "Entwürfe" folder.
The issue does not occur in Dolphin, neither does it occur in file dialogs of Okular (although the latter one really looks similar to the failing dialog in LibreOffice). This would actually be an argument against my hypothesis, but anyway: Who should I ask for help, or who might be interested in a bug report from me on this topic?
Greetings,
Michael

After a recent update, LibreCalc will no longer allow me to load a spreadsheet from a file.When I issue the insert sheet from file command, I receive the error message

It is possible to open the file from which I am trying to load a spreadsheet and use the move/copy spreadsheet command to copy the spreadsheet to the file into which I am trying to insert it. It is simply that the insert from file doesn't work. This is new and happens with every file I've tried. I've never had this problem before. I have a plain vanilla installation. The LibreOffice is Version: 6.3.3.2.0+Build ID: 30(Build:2) CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 4.12; UI render: default; VCL: kde5, supplied by SUSE.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

TUMBLEWEED text mode yast bootloader repair didn't (non-working UEFI grub)
XPG (Adata) ASX6000LNP-128GT-C nvme stick went bad in annoyingly quick fashion, 25 days after purchase, before I got done with everything and made a fresh backup of the entire stick. I've already got it packed up and in the mail with a return shipping RMA label from the vendor. The NVME was originally a clone from SATA SSD, but thinking the new nvme was OK a few days earlier, I had already pressed the old SSD into service elsewhere. :(
I've been trying to piece together as best I can what I had after installing the new ZTC-PCIEG3-128G NVME. Over and over again I've been meeting up with various grub> prompts and grub errors after trying this and that for hours and hours over a period of days and interruptions, including finding and reporting a rescue mode bug. Eventually I decided the restoration of the ESP partition had to be defective, so I reformatted it FAT 32 using the old volume label and 8 character UUID, then:
I then restored backup content of /boot/grub2/ and /boot/EFI/efi/[opensusetw,BOOT]/, then:
I thought it looked good, and the BIOS seemed to match.
Then I ran ncurses yast > bootloader, changed timeout, exited. Thinking yast surely must have done whatever was needed that I may have overlooked, this was my result from trying to boot TW from its own Grub:
I'd seen this before, so I tried just typing in from this custom.cfg backup stanza:
I'm really burned out try to get this back in gear after waiting for ddrescue reaching 99.67% done in 30 hours and forecasting several more days to completion, then searching out all the pieces from which to reconstruct, playing guessing games with a UEFI BIOS that doesn't like to have video output until after it's needed, making me guess if and when to strike DEL or F2 or F8, and insufferably waiting on reboots with various slow boot media that eventually dead end because something I need is missing. I trashed one 15.1 DVD and burned new for TW and 15.1 both. My skill with USB sticks is deficient, so with this PC making me play non-appearing video and keyboard games when I try my 15.1, I just don't like to try.
Note a "fresh installation" is best avoided. TW's is responsible via custom.cfg for booting other installations on 8 other nvme partitions. There really ought to be a way to fix this that doesn't involve cloning from its sibling PCs NVME and losing those things that make them differ, such as the Fedora installation the other lacks, the RAID sda & sdb configuration unneeded on this, and the different IP, MAC and hostname across multiple partitions.
What's missing that Grub rescue mode doesn't know needed commands, like search? Grub help is nearly useless, as it scrolls most output over top of screen.
Any advice or ideas what I may have missed getting my TW grub to work again?

OTHER VERSION D-Link DWL-G510 WI-FI non-functional on an HP machine
I've looked heavily through both linuxquestions.org and forums.opensuse.org; so far, -no luck!! -So I have registered, and am writing my first thread, -hoping for some good help...
1) Intro:
-I just inherited a very cool Linux HP box from a friend. It hasn't been on since 2012,and was dead when I got it. I redid all of the hardware connections, then replaced the CMOS battery (it came alive), and with a bit of fear, redid the clock, etc. in the BIOS (F9 I think). -It's up and running! It's been a while since I've been able to use Unix, and that was RedHat for work, so I'm very stoked! My friend had loaded on some impressive scientific software to play with, which I do want to start working with, as soon as I can get things working properly...
-It is running SUSE 11.4, has decent RAM, an OK sized hard drive, has a logitec keyboard; functionally, the "terminal", interactive GUIs are good, including additions FIREFOX and something called YAST2, and likely connecting by cable via ethernet might connect it to the internet, but the wifi router is wayyy too far to be able to wire up to.
-Aside: Because of all the "extra" software packages on this device, I really can't do any upgrading of the OS (11.4) !! -Especially as an IT Linux tyro who can't connect it to the internet!!!
Info 1:
cat /etc/S*
openSUSE
VERSION = 11.4
cat: /etc/SuSEconfig: Is a directory
openSUSE 11.4 (x86_64)
VERSION = 11.4
CODENAME = Celadon
uname -r
2.6.37.1-1.2-desktop
2) So, anyway:
I plugged the Dlink card into a slot, turned the computer back on, and... -nothing, really... (although the card's LED lights up green in the back). -No plugNplay...
-I need help!!!
--Did a massive amount of googling, found out about YAST, and then began rooting around the Hardware INFO, and it shows the dlink under PCI:

Driver Info #0:

Driver Activation Cmd: "modprobe ath5k"
Config Status: cfg=no, avail=yes, need=no, active=unknown

-weirdly, on the other hand, from googling, I see on a SUSE forum that the DWLG510 expects:
D-Link DWL-G510 rev C(2) PCI Ralink RT2501
?? should it be "ralink-firmware", -not ath5k driver, perhaps????? (can't find either ath5k nor any "ral..." anywhere in my "RPM" info, btw?)
Although the card is showing up under the Hardware Settings under YAST, -the Network Settings doesn't show it,
- I ONLY see the Ethernet card from NetXtremes, which says: Device Name eth0, started manually, IP address...DHCP.
-The Dlink device isn't listed there...
3) More googling and, some more info for here (always running commands as a SU, btw):
hwinfo --wlan gives me nothing at all!
lspci -vnn gives:

--> So, it seems to me that my wlan hardware isn't really registering as wlan, right??? -I guess this is what happened to my friend in 2011, but I do hope to fix the problem!
-I am flummoxed here!! Besides being an IT tyro, I am also rusty a bit on UNIX, and am a complete newbie on SUSE. -And, of course, all hardware and software really predate 2012...
Can anyone help me see where I've gone wrong on this PCI Dlink card? I really do need internet to go forward w this very cool old workstation!! The card needs to start talking (to a WPA-secured router), but it's just not there. -Have no clue as to what to do!
Thanks!!!
-Hoping for some help!!

-It is running SUSE 11.4, has decent RAM, an OK sized hard drive, has a logitec keyboard; functionally, the "terminal", interactive GUIs are good, including additions FIREFOX and something called YAST2, and likely connecting by cable via ethernet might connect it to the internet, but the wifi router is wayyy too far to be able to wire up to.
- -->And... inside the cable bundle bag was a PCI D-Link DWL-G510 card (the original owner bought it and now remembers he couldn't get it working, back then).
-Aside: Because of all the "extra" software packages on this device, I really can't do any upgrading of the OS (11.4) !! -Especially as an IT Linux tyro who can't connect it to the internet!!!
Info 1:
cat /etc/S*
openSUSE
VERSION = 11.4
cat: /etc/SuSEconfig: Is a directory
openSUSE 11.4 (x86_64)
VERSION = 11.4
CODENAME = Celadon
uname -r
2.6.37.1-1.2-desktop
2) So, anyway:
I plugged the Dlink card into a slot, turned the computer back on, and... -nothing, really... (although the card's LED lights up green in the back). -No plugNplay...
-I need help!!!
--Did a massive amount of googling, found out about YAST, and then began rooting around the Hardware INFO, and it shows the dlink under PCI:
31: PCI 509.0: 0280 Network controller
[Created at pci.318]
Unique ID: vc7q.Iq3QtAmECT5

IRQ: 18 (no events)
Module Alias: "pci:v0000168Cd0000001Asv00001186sd00003A16bc02sc80i00"
Driver Info #0:
Driver Status: ath5k is active
Driver Activation Cmd: "modprobe ath5k"
Config Status: cfg=no, avail=yes, need=no, active=unknown
Attached to: #25 (PCI bridge)
-weirdly, on the other hand, from googling, I see on a SUSE forum that the DWLG510 expects:
D-Link DWL-G510 rev C(2) PCI Ralink RT2501
?? should it be "ralink-firmware", -not ath5k driver, perhaps????? (can't find either ath5k nor any "ral..." anywhere in my "RPM" info, btw?)
Although the card is showing up under the Hardware Settings under YAST, -the Network Settings doesn't show it,
- I ONLY see the Ethernet card from NetXtremes, which says: Device Name eth0, started manually, IP address...DHCP.
-The Dlink device isn't listed there...
3) More googling and, some more info for here (always running commands as a SU, btw):
hwinfo --wlan gives me nothing at all!
lspci -vnn gives:
05:09.0 Network controller [0280]: Atheros Communications Inc. AR2413 802.11bg NIC [168c:001a] (rev 01)

Memory at e0800000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K]
Memory at <ignored> (32-bit, non-prefetchable)
Capabilities: [44] Power Management version 2
--> So, it seems to me that my wlan hardware isn't really registering as wlan, right??? -I guess this is what happened to my friend in 2011, but I do hope to fix the problem!
-I am flummoxed here!! Besides being an IT tyro, I am also rusty a bit on UNIX, and am a complete newbie on SUSE. -And, of course, all hardware and software really predate 2012...
Can anyone help me see where I've gone wrong on this PCI Dlink card? I really do need internet to go forward w this very cool old workstation!! The card needs to start talking (to a WPA-secured router), but it's just not there. -Have no clue as to what to do!
Thanks!!!
-Hoping for some help!!

LEAP 15.1 Screen tearing (no dedicated graphics card)
I'm using a EliteDesk 800 G1 SFF without a dedicated graphics card, two Dell P2719H displays connected via DisplayPort. I noticed a diagonal screen tearing when moving any GUI window around a bit faster. The same diagonal screen tearing appears when scolling up or down in a given webrowser. (Tested on chrome and firefox).
I would like to fix that, but I'm not sure where to start looking. Things I've tested so far:
In the "Configure Desktop" settings:
- Change the refresh rate from auto to 60Hz = No noticable difference
- Change the compositor rendering backend (from default openGL 2.0) to xrender = reduce the diagonal screen tearing noticable, but then I get more horizontal screen tearing, although only while scrolling up and down
- Change to openGL 3.1 = No improvement
- Play around with the slider "Tearing prevention" options, no change made it better on any of the options in any combination with the available rendering backend options
Any ideas are highly appreciated. If more details about the hardware are needed, I can provide anything that would be helpful.
Thanks in advance!

LEAP 15.1 Qualcomm Atheros QCA9377 issues
I have noticed that sometimes my WiFi stops working, and I don't know conditions when it stops working.
I have tried using Wicked instead of NetworkManager, WiFi kept breaking. So issue is driver/kernel related.

TUMBLEWEED Autoyast installation fails with KDE packages and patterns
Hi everyone,
I'm running an autoyast unattended installation of Tumbleweed off a USB drive and if I add all the packages, patterns and services needed for fully usable install with KDE, the second stage of the installation gets stuck at a black screen with a mouse cursor, needing a power reboot after wich the same thing shows up resulting in a borked installation.
However, if I remove the KDE, office and multiemdia related creature comforts from the autoinst.xml, for a bare bones command line installation, then the second stage and installation work flawlessly.
I'm attaching the differences between the two autoinst.xml installations.
Does anyone know what the issue is with the full on installation?

TUMBLEWEED How to install nvidia graphic driver on asus vivobook max x541nc
How to install nvidia graphic driver on asus vivobook max x541nc?
Hello i'm new OpenSUSE user and i have a question about installing nvidia graphic driver on asus vivobook max x541nc.
i used Manjaro, Arch, and Ubuntu based linux distributions before and on Manjraro and Arch, i had the problem when i install nvidia graphic driver my pc won't boot, but on
Ubuntu based Distibutions i was able to go to Driver Manager and just install it from there and it works prfectly.
Thats why i need your help to install nvidia driver on OpenSUSE because i dont want to do anything on my own and mess up my Linux Installation.
on Ubuntu based distros after installing nvidia graphic driver, when i open nvidia x settings i have two options nvidia high performance mode and Intel power saving mode.
When i was on Manjaro my friend has told me that i should install optimus drivers because my laptop might be using optimus tehnology but that didnt work i also have to mention that
when i had Windows 10 installed it did automatically detected drivers and installed both Intel and Nvidia so i really don't know what to do and how to install drivers on OpenSUSE.

TUMBLEWEED Previously removed repositories are gettinng re-added every time I try to update
So, I screwed up big time. I added unstable repos for Tumbleweed, updated (overall it was like 10 apps that got updated) and then removed those repositories, including their GPG keys through YaST. Then I run:
But now EVERY time I try to update Tumbleweed, all those removed unstable repositories are trying to get added again. How do I stop this from happening?
