I install KDE_5_on_Leap_42.1_openSUSE_by_kolAflash.x86_64-0.1.1.iso on my usb to try opensuse kde plasma 5.
But I cannot connect to the internet via usb tethering with Samsung Galaxy Note 5
Plug my phone and enable usb tethering >>> nothing happen
Restart NetworkManager >>> found the usb tethering but still doesn’t connect.
Some more code
Thanks

Do you have tethering enabled on your Samsung?

Do you have USB debugging enabled (sometimes required to enable 2 way communications over USB)? Not mentioned in the above link so may not be necessary but is required on devices which don’t have a built-in tethering configuration.
Is your carrier blocking?
TSU
Sorry I forgot to add more information.I did this in the past, I can usb tether on linux mint 17.3, debian 8.3.0 kde, kubuntu 15.10 and ubuntu 15.10 just fine. I am replying this post tethering with linux mint 17.3. So I think the problem is on opensuse kde.
I didn’t enable usb debugging or carrier blocking.
The photos you uploaded show NetworkManager reporting that the ‘usb0’ connection is active. When this is the case, what is reported by the following
ip addr
ip route
grep -i "name" /etc/resolv.conf
Maybe observing the NetworkManager messages could be useful for diagnostic purposes. Open a terminal and sun
sudo journalctl -u NetworkManager
then try tethering and capture output.
Okay, so you have a valid IP address (192.168.42.198) and default route configured (so you have internet connectivity)
# ip route
default via 192.168.42.129 dev usb0 proto static metric 100
192.168.42.0/24 dev usb0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.42.198 metric 100
but you have no namserver assigned.
Thanks.But I still cannot connect to internet via firefox. So how do I assigned namserver?
You could add one manually in the connection definition you have for Network Manager I guess. Edit the connection as necessary. There are many valid name servers you could use eg an openDNS server 208.67.222.222 or a Google DNS server 8.8.8.8
To add on the fly, you could do
sudo echo "nameserver 208.67.222.222" > /etc/resolv.conf

Yes, I’m aware of the ‘>>’ operator, but don’t see any advantage with doing that. One could also edit the file with an editor if preferred. If the file is removed, it is recreated the very next time the network is started anyway, so easy to return to default if required.
Thank you!!! It works now I can connect to the internet. But then I have a question, why can’t it fix itself, or at least tell some error. This is not difficult to fix at all.
From a quick search, it would seem to be a quirk that some users experience when tethering via Android devices (nothing to do with openSUSE as such). Maybe some issue with the phone’s DNS server
For example

https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=82545
I’ll leave you to research that further yourself.
