Hello all,
New to OpenSUSE, but not linux. I have been using Kubuntu and Unity for the last two years. Always trying to learn and stretch now into something new. Can someone tell me where in YAST can I turn off search for my thumb drive at start up. In the KDE desktop and in the Gnome desktop, the software wants to access my thumb drive that installed the original software when it looks for updates. Additionally, I cannot get bluetooth or KDE connect working. Any tutorials that are more helpful on what I have seen in the manual would be appreciated. I really like OpenSUSE as I slowly figure out what to do. It is more complicated that debian distros. Thanks in advance.
Hi
Disable the install source (just incase you need it) via YaST software Repositories, I set the priority at 101 and disable refresh, or via the command line with zypper;
zypper lr -d
zypper mr -d -R -p 101 <number from above output pointing at hd://>
Thanks for the speedy reply. I need a little more step by step answer than that. I have looked and looked again at the YaST repository page and tried to disable thru the USB listed on the splash page, then I tried looking for something in the list of repositories. Not wanting to mess things up, I made no changes anywhere. Are you saying that simply changing the priority shuts off looking for a USB (which I installed from) at boot up? I am learning the command line in both debian and red hat. I am not sure in the command line where the " number from the above output" is. Thanks for all your help, it is appreciated and I read the forums daily to learn more!!!
Hi
No, it just moves it out of the way priority wise, the -d disables and -R turns off refresh.
You can actually delete if you want, I prefer to leave it present and out of the way in case needed.
It is the number at the left, in my case #3;
zypper lr -d

good deal. I did not notice before the device indicator on the right side (duh!) of the repo page. Thanks so much for your help
