TUMBLEWEED Screen flickering on DELL XPS-13-7390

$

0
I just purchased a brand new DELL XPS13-7390 laptop and installed Tumbleweed on it. Unfortunately the screen flickers like crazy. If windows runs on the same laptop the screen works very well. Also if I connect an external screen to it everything works fine. What is the reason of this flickering? Did anybody have the same problem?

LEAP 15.1 Hardware doesn't seem configured correctly: 2014 Macbook

$

Hello! I'm kinda baffled by this problem I'm facing. Hardware may or may not be the right section for this but I'm in the dark and it doesn't seem like a software problem...

So here we go:

Made the switch from OSX to Leap on my workhorse Macbook about a month ago, I'm fairly experienced with using Lynux distros but not opensuse (yet). I noticed that the battery life was immediately shortened with this new install (not a huge deal), then when the computer is locked and closed it still heats up like it's running at full power (kinda strange). My solution as of late has been to simply shut it off when it's not going to be in use for a while, which is probably a good habit, but I'm still wondering if there's some kind of background process that runs and if it's possible to get that to suspend along with the OS. Maybe whatever sensor tells the system the screen is closed isn't functioning correctly? Or, could the OS not be sending signals to the hardware to go to sleep?

Other than that everything is functioning as it should. The system monitor isn't reporting any kind of strange behavior, and all the other hardware transferred over to Leap easily.

Any suggestions, topics, and/or rabbit holes you have in mind would be greatly appreciated!

________

Some basic technical specs on what I'm running:

Early 2014 Macbook Pro 13
Intel Core i7-5557U CPU 3.1GHz
8 GiB RAM
Intel Iris Graphics 6100
Samsung Electronics SATA controller
Broadcom BCM43602 802.11ac Wireless LAN



Leap 15.1
KDE Plasma: 5.12.8
KDE Frameworks: 5.55.0
Qt Version: 5.9.7
Kernel: 4.12.14-lp151.28.36-default
64 bit



PS:
As I was doing to trouble-shooting before submitting this I checked the kernel messages and found this block of alerts reoccurring pretty often:

[ 9811.965966] CPU1: Core temperature above threshold, cpu clock throttled (total events = 6589)
[ 9811.965967] CPU3: Core temperature above threshold, cpu clock throttled (total events = 6589)

[ 9811.965975] CPU1: Package temperature above threshold, cpu clock throttled (total events = 14055)

Does that look like it could be an issue? Could it be related to the one I mentioned at the top?

TUMBLEWEED Pulse audio outputting s32le when set to s24le

Hello,

My speakers/sound-monitors are active and they feed 24bit/192 audio. When I configured my Pulseaudio conf file to s24le and either 192000 or 96000 it magically switches itself to s32le. I have avoid re-sampling on(but tested with off also) and after running "pactl list short sinks" it shows that it switches to s16/44100 when playing spotify, but then changes to S32/48000 when opening say youtube or vlc for example. It starts to sound like a compressor is running because it's sampling up and down. While things like youtube audio are not exactly premium listening experiences, I would like to avoid having it ever going into 32bit since the speaker amplifier can't handle that and downsample making everything sound overprocessed.

Thank you for the help.

OTHER VERSION [15.0] "network is unreachable" always same problem with WiFi, why?

$

Hi

I'm experiencing again a "network is unreachable" problem. I' love OpenSuse but I've always had these problems with WiFi networks since the old versions.
I don't know why it's so easy to break the network in Suse, but I would like to hope it's easy to fix it as well. Again, I totally say this as a constructive critic.

My current situation is the following: I bought a USB wireless card, I plugged it in my PC, I configured everything via Yast (wicked services) and everything worked.
Then I said to myself, why not using the NetworkManager app in the tray icon to choose the WiFi network in an easy way? well, I installed the network-manager gnome applet (dont' recall the correct name), I moved from Wicked to NetworkManager in Yast and then I tried to connect via the NetworkManager widget. I selected the correct network, wrote the password and after a while it prompt me again the request for the WiFi password, like if the password was wrong. I tried the suggestions I've found in this forum about checking the "save for all users" and some other checkbox, but nothing changed this behavior.. ti still asked me for the password again and again.

I said then: ok le'ts uninstall this widget (and I did) and let's go back to wicked. I tried again the wicked services, but I experienced the dreaded "network is unreachable" error on ping. I tried the ifup wlan0 and / or ifconfig wlan0 up commands, but no change. I then tried to plug the WiFI adapter in another USB port and in Yast I saw two adapters (why??): wlan0 and wlan1, I then deleted the wlan0 and still same problem with this new wlan1.

I tried both DHCP and manual configuration, using the google DNS and without using it. I tried also to change the options to enable the adatper at boot, manually or on hotplug, but now I'm stuck with this "network is unreachable" error.

Any suggestion? I would love also a suggestion for a book / good tutorial about how networking works on OpenSuse and how to fix these kind of problems.

Thank you and have a great Sunday

LEAP 15.2 VNCserver vs VNCmanager persistant

$

Hello there,
As seen in this guide, there are 2 different persistent VNC server sessions:
  1. VNC Session Initiated Using vncserver
  2. VNC Session Initiated Using vncmanager


I can't figure out what is the difference, in the guide, I find the explanation of vncserver not clear to me and there is no comment on the vncmanager.

My use-case is:
I have a local desktop that I switch on/off every day running Opensuse 15.2 Mate DE.
I have a remote (in another room) laptop running Opensuse 15.2 Mate DE always on. Applications are running on and sometime I go to this laptop and work with it.
Both are connected on the local LAN.
I want to have access to the laptop DE from the desktop in the current running DE to control, start, stop, manage the running applications and use the DE as if I am in front of the laptop. When I disconnect the running applications should carry on.

Could you let me know what I can do and can't with both of type?
Many thanks

LEAP 15.1 SSD Read Write Error during install

$

Hi,
my PC has a Crucial MX500 SSD (with 1 TB capacity) bought less than one year ago. On this drive I have an openSUSE Linux 15.0 partition (EXT4 / ) and a Windows partition. Everything worked fine until a couple of months ago.

Recently openSUSE started to give me Read/Write errors while performing massive writing operations like Linux ISO images download, or Steam/GoG games install/update. When this happens, the entire Desktop Environment (KDE in my case) almost freeze completely, but the mouse still works, and I can go to the TTY with CTRL + ALT + F1.
Sadly from the TTY I'm unable to login, because it ask me a username without letting me type, so I think the entire system is in a strange status of non kernel panic, but unable to give it commands.

After an hard reset, the operating system works fine unless you perform big write operations like downloading the openSUSE ISO image file.

SMART parameters are ok and even the Crucial SSD Utility for Windows says everything is fine (Windows itself works fine).

Since I thought it was an openSUSE failure, i tried to re-install it, taking the opportunity to jump to version 15.1, but happened the same thing almost at the end of the installing procedure:

Code:

Subprocess failed. Error: RPM non riuscito: error: rpmdb: fsync
error: db4 error(30) from db->sync: Read-only file system
error: rpmdb: write: 0x1ecab18, 4096: Read-only file system
error: rpmdb: Name: write failed for page 2
error: rpmdb: Name: unable to flush page: 2
[...]
error: db4 error (30) from dbenv->close: Read-only file system

Same problem happens with KUbuntu, so I think it should be an hardware problem, but Windows is still working correctly and the Crucial SSD Tool says everything is fine.

Does someone have an idea about that? Does it could be a filesystem (EXT4) problem?

Thanks in advance,

Best Regards,
hawake

LEAP 15.1 X.org freezes

Hi! I have had this problem before and I had to completely reinstall the system.
This time I haven't installed any software or changed any settings. After a reboot my X.org keeps freezing up and behaving weirdly. The mouse pointer moves when I move the mouse, when I click a shortcut to run Firefox for example, I don't see the program's window popping up until I "manually refresh the screen" by opening another terminal with Ctrl+Alt+F1 and switching back to the X server with Ctrl+Alt+F7.
I've tried booting up from the different snapshots and restarting the X server with Ctrl+Alt+Backspace and it didn't help.

LEAP 15.1 Not able to connect to wifi-access point

https://forums.opensuse.org/showthre...-BCM4352/page4

(which I shouldn't have used, since the problem is not with Tumbleweed, as as this thread, but with Leap 15.1),
I was advised to install broadcom-wl and broadcom-wl-kmp-default packages to get the ASUS PCE-AC56 wordking with Leap 15.1.

A good advice, because now the card is seen, and the hardware sees the wifi-networks available in the environment.

But when I enter the credentials for the wifi-point I want to use (the wifi-point as such is detected correctly), it is some seconds apparently trying to connect to the access point, but then keeps asking for the WPA2 passwd. The passwd is correct, our mobile phones connect to the same access point with the same password, and I checked it in the router settings.

The network is managed by Networkmanager. The settings for this wifi-connection gives all users access to the network, and the WPA2-key is given there too.

LEAP 15.1 YaST & zypper install and uninstall - application dependencies modifications/changes

$

Both install or change a lot of dependencies.
But when I uninstall an application that needed dependencies ‘modified’, why don’t they also remove or change back all those dependencies?
I am afraid of putting too much of what won’t be used IF I remove an application.
IE: Lollypop put in/changed about 45 or more dependencies, but when I uninstall it all of those added/changed dependencies are still hanging out in the system.

Another ‘BillL’ conundrum!
that is why I like to keep install logs separate in my home folder.

LEAP 15.1 mouse buttons stopped working (Logitech MX 518)

$

Hi all,

my mouse (Logitech MX 518, not the original version but the new release - about one year old) stopped working in OpenSuse Leap 15.1. Another mouse works fine.

The cursor is fine, but the buttons do not seem to work or show "random" results. If I open a firefox browser, everything (even the buttons) works fine as long as I stay inside the firefox window. But if I switch to another window, it seems all button clicks are still captured by firefox. In Dolphin, every button click is handled as "on directory up". And on a blank desktop, the only action that works is "mouse wheel up/down", which seems to trigger switching between virtual desktops.

As my machine is dual boot and the mouse works fine in Win10, I assume it is not a hardware problem with the mouse. OpenSuse 15.1 has latest updates. The last time it worked was two days ago (13th march), the latest updates were on 9th.

Does anybody have suggestions how to do further analysis? I don't even know what keywords to use for a google search...

I found hints about a file "/etc/X.11/xorg.conf.d/11-mouse.conf", but this file does not exist.

Many thanks in advance

Wolfgang

AMD Radeon & OpenSUSE 13.2

Such is the problem. There is a Radeon R9 270 video card, if I put a driver from the amd site, then everything works fine, but Steam does not see it. On the Internet, I found that if this happens, it is better to install from repo. Put. As a result, steam saw, but does not recognize video memory, writes that its 256 meters. Again I began to look for a solution in the internet, but I did not find a sensible answer. Maybe someone here is in the know. ?

LEAP 15.1 virt-manager disk image size differences

$

I've been using Virtualbox for my test VMs forever basically and recently I decided that I would give virt-manager a try. So far I really like it a lot! But I found something curious.

First, here is a screenshot of the part that is odd.
https://i.imgur.com/r5jwZng.png

If I create the disk image by using the default option then the disk image allocates the full amount of space. If I instead select the option to create a custom image it is a dynamically growing image. And here is the verification.

Code:

> du -sh *
17G    opensuse15.1.qcow2
3.7M    test.qcow2

The first one above was created by selecting the default option and the second was created using the custom option. Both are 16G images and both appear to be the same file format.

Code:

> file opensuse15.1.qcow2
opensuse15.1.qcow2: QEMU QCOW Image (v3), 17179869184 bytes

> file test.qcow2
test.qcow2: QEMU QCOW Image (v3), 17179869184 bytes

The problem here is that I would always like to have them created as the dynamically allocated image but I might sometimes forget that I would need to go through that extra step to do it

Is there a way to have it create the dynamically allocated images by default?

LEAP 15.1 How to activate DHCPP Server for Ethernet over USB conenction to Android Tablet in KDE Networkmger

$

Now with Corona keeping me far, far away from my multi monitor set up, I have to use my old laptop and a 12.2 Samsung Android Tablet as second monitor and an ipad mini as third.

the solution with https://github.com/kbumsik/VirtScreen does not work, as it needs an intel graphicscard,

So I connected back to my notebook from Android tablet via Wifi and started a XFCE VNC Session and started Quicksynergy client on the tablet and qsynergy server on the notebook.

But I hope the connection could be improved by using ethernet over USB.

On the Samsung Galaxy Tablet 12.2 SM-T900 runs Cyanogenmod /Lineage 14 and in the development options I can select

USB-configuration (USB-ethernet)

If I activate this configuration, K-Netowrkmanager tries to optain an IP address. So the connection could work. But I see no option in lineage to enter a static IP adress.

That means I need a DHCP server on OpenSUSE 15.1 networkmanager. Is there an option in networkmanager? every disconnect creates a new "WIRED NETWORK CONNECTION"

The Internet is shared through WiFi on another Android phone.

I hope to increase the VNC speed that way.

Heb een probleempje bij het opstarten met de het activeren van mijn draadloze netwerkkaart.
Log normaal in op Suse Leap 15.1.

Zoals gebruikelijk voer ik het wachtwoord in, krijg dan de melding dat de draadloze interface (wlan1) de secrets niet zijn geleverd.
Daarna wordt de verbinding gedeactiveerd


Heeft iemand een tip om dit probleem op te lossen?

LEAP 15.1 Olivetti M220 port designation

$

I have apparently managed to install the driver for an elderly Olivetti M220 as CUPS reports that the printer is responding to it and it is sending jobs to it but none of the jobs are printed. I am not sure whether the printer is configured by default to use a non-standard port or whether this was the decision of the admin who set it up many years ago; however, the control panel lists two port numbers, one of which is described as an ASCII port number.

I have looked at the openSUSE documentation but I cannot see anything which says whether, in the YasT>Printer>Configuration wizard, the port should be entered in decimal or hex or what the significance of calling one port number ASCII is. Any assistance welcome.

TUMBLEWEED sysctl.conf still being ignored on boot

$

Hi

I have a setting to disable ipv6 in /etc/sysctl.conf and it is ignored at boot

I have to manually run

sudo sysctl -p

and the settings I've added (or are added by suse?) are then appied

I've had a look back though posts on these forums and cannot see an actual answer that works (including a thread from 2013)

/etc/sysctl.conf is defintely link to from /usr/lib/sysctl.d/99-sysctl.conf -> /etc/sysctl.conf

Code:

ls -l /usr/lib/sysctl.d/99-sysctl.conf
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Mar  6 21:05 /usr/lib/sysctl.d/99-sysctl.conf -> /etc/sysctl.conf

One thread suggested

Code:

chkconfig -a boot.sysctl
But I got a response of
Code:

boot.sysctl: unknown service
Running
Code:

sudo systemctl enable systemd-sysctl.service
tells me:
Code:

The unit files have no installation config (WantedBy=, RequiredBy=, Also=,
Alias= settings in the [Install] section, and DefaultInstance= for template
units). This means they are not meant to be enabled using systemctl.
 
Possible reasons for having this kind of units are:
• A unit may be statically enabled by being symlinked from another unit's
  .wants/ or .requires/ directory.
• A unit's purpose may be to act as a helper for some other unit which has
  a requirement dependency on it.
• A unit may be started when needed via activation (socket, path, timer,
  D-Bus, udev, scripted systemctl call, ...).
• In case of template units, the unit is meant to be enabled with some
  instance name specified.

Running
Code:

sudo sysctl -p
Gives me what I want and reads /etc/sysctl.conf

But this does not happen at boot

Why?

In debian (which I use at work on multiple VMs, actual hardware etc of all OSes dating back years) this just works

But not in Tumbleweed

There is obviously some step I am missing that involves more than just putting an entry in /etc/sysctl.conf

(and has been for a while?)

But it should be possible to just add an entry in /etc/sysctl.conf and reboot and it to just work by default

If it doesn't, then is it a bug?

It really should not be a question of RTFM because manually running

Code:

sudo sysctl -p
works
