<p>Note that in the line<br>
s=${s## }<br>
after the ## should be a SPACE.<br>
Also should be in the line<br>
pid=${s%% *}<br>
a SPACE before the *.</p>

<p>The worst thing I noticed was that under X (KDE) USB Vfat devices will be 
mounted with default opitons (f.i. showexec).
The option showexec sets the Execute-Flag only for .exe, .com and .bat 
files.</p>

<p>Since there are CDs/DVDs for Windows which contain also software for Linux
it is unable to start theese from the USB-device.
Afterwards Remount with mount or udisks will not solve the problem.
It seems that the system will apply its own options after the user options.
Therefor this will overwrite user options.</p>

<p>Example:<br>
Because the Netbook doesn't have a CD-device, I have copied a CD with 
software for Windows and Linux onto a memory card.
Now the memory card will be mounted with unfit options and I will not be able 
to use the Linux software on it.</p>

<p>Help (in KDE) for USB-Mass-Storage devices:</p>

<ul>
  <li>Don't use automount of USB-Devices.</li>
  <li>Let the Kernel do only stage 1 of the USB-Subsystem. This means the 
    USB-Device will only provided as a Generic SCSI-Device.
    This can be achieved when you do nothing in the dialog which pops up 
    if you connect the device. Wait till the dialog disappears.</li>
  <li>Then you can mount the device manually. Root privileges are needed.</li>
</ul>

<p>The Kernel-Updates from Evergreen have default Kernel-mode-setting ON.
This means in the commandline the characters on the display are tiny.</p>

<h3>openSUSE Linux 12.2</h3>

<p>The installation from a Net-ISO-Image onto a Desktop-PC was good.
But the first start gave a surprise - default use of KMS. This means the 
grafic adapter will use the highest possible resolution and users who boot 
into the commandline have to use a magnifier. This will also be if you switch 
from X to the CLI.</p>

<p>For help there are 2 possibilities:</p>

<ul>
  <li>Install a bigger font for the CLI.</li>
  <li>Disable KMS (kernel-parameter nomodeset).</li>
</ul>

<p>On a Desktop-PC with standard hardware I would recommend possibility 2.
On a Netbook/Notebook if the hardware needs KMS, I would recommend 
possibility 1.</p>

<p>The next unpleased surprise - it is no longer possible to use /dev/shm 
with the tmpfs, this means to renounce of a comfortable Ramdisk.</p>

<h3>openSUSE Linux 13.2</h3>

<p>The installation was good. No problems with devices.
But the change from Sysinit to Systemd is an very complicated act.
Former run of an Init-Script was simply to call the pathname with the 
commands start/stop/restart ...
Now you have to do it with systemctl.
For instance:<br>
systemctl COMMAND INIT-SCRIPT --> systemctl restart firewall<br>
I've used Sysinit since 1998 - and now THIS!
I refuse to get accustomed with this :-/</p>

<p>Little supplement:<br>
In the meantime I have gotten familiar with Systemd.
The world has changed - OK.</p>

<h3>openSUSE Leap 15.2</h3>

<p>In the year 2022 I installed Leap 15.2 onto a Notebook.
So far so good. The system works well.
But the new KDE System is terrible!
It's no longer possible to use virtual desktops with own set of icons and own 
background wallpapers.
What did the KDE folk think when they removed this from a good desktop 
environment?!
Are they stupid?</p>
