I installed Leap 15.1 on clean disks, everything went fine. In network manager I created a hidden wireless connection for WLAN0. Later on I had to delete WLAN0 and configure WLAN1, but I spend yesterday afternoon updating the software packages on the system, so I assumed everything was okay.
This morning, I went to bring up Leap 15.1, but the startup halts after outputting the message “Started WPA Supplicant daemon”. I am assuming that the problem is the hidden wireless network is not being discovered, since the SSID is not being broadcast.
At the moment I am stuck, how would someone go about dealing with this issue? I want to stay with the hidden wireless network, if possible.
Hi, writing this from a Leap 15.1 which automatically connected to a hidden SSID WiFi router, so what you need is definitely possible.
Maybe a detailed description of what you actually did to configure WLAN0 and then WLAN1 might help; do you have more than a WiFi card in your system?
Please be aware that a clear title in the “Network/Internet” subforum is more likely to attract the experts you need than this thread in the Install subforum…
I actually have dug into debugging on the systemd level and found that the stall during booting was NOT caused by the network manager missing the hidden wireless router, since I disabled the whole network.service and rebooted again, only to go into a stall mode.
I followed directions from troubleshooting in the debug-shell and have gotten about 6 megabytes of log files from this, but I guess I need someone who is intimately familiar with the systemd bringup process, who can look at the journalctl log and dmesg log and systemctl status logs to pinpoint the actual problem.
I believe I have ruled out the network from being the source of the stall during booting.
Recommend starting your troubleshooting by filtering on various error levels, then perhaps by specific services if you can narrow down.
You can also specify specific bootlogs (ie last or before that, etc) or by time if you are certain approximately the time your error happened.
Your computer looks to me like a black hole: No details available. A nice starting point could be running the command: journalctl -b |grep Start and posting its output in this forum.
Yesterday I was learning about shell debug during start up and running journalctl -b and dmesg -T | less and other commands. Here is the output from “journalctl -b | grep Start”
Do I assume from this that after the startkde was issued, that we’re hung? ( I also noticed a lot of condition failed in the lines below, should I be concerned about that?)

Thanks for that tip. Yesterday I spent some time learning how openSuse actually boots up and enables the services. Now, I want to find out why 17 services are missing and what to do about that. It takes some time to absorb all this, when a person has to wade through all the linux postings and weed out the non-systemd information.
Thanks for the information. I did have openSuse connecting to a hidden SSID wifi okay, I just assumed that the break down was occurring as wpa_supplicant tried to come up. More trouble shooting revealed that the problem was not in this area, it looks like a X-Windows manager problem, possibly.
I have a lot to learn yet about the actual scripting and boot up process that openSuse uses, under the systemd management layer.
Please install inxi, either from standard repos to get ancient version, or from upstream to get current version. It’s a great information gathering and reporting script. To report what gogalthorp, do:
inxi -Gxx
and paste the result here using code tags ( ***** ] above the input window) so that it resembles this:
