This is a quick note on how to install xe-guest-utilities on OpenSUSE Leap 15.5. Unlike other distros like AlmaLinux where xe-guest-utilities is provided by EPEL repository, on OpenSUSE Leap, this package is available in the guest-tools.iso disk. At least, I was not able to find any similar package on OpenSUSE’s repositories which provide this Xe guest utilities. Therefore, we first need to attach the guest-tools.iso disk to the VM. On Xen Orchestra web ui, perform the following:...

I have migrated a VM running on Proxmox to Xcpng host. Despite the imported VM on Xcpng has a new NIC with new MAC address, it still retained old IP address asssigned to the old MAC of the VM running on Proxmox.

After taking a very long break (over a decade) from running openSUSE on my person machine, I finally got Tumbleweed installed on a spare Intel NUC machine. If you’re one of my blog readers, expect to see more contents about SUSE/openSUSE later. Today, I’m going to share how I fix the issue with bluetooth keyboard/mouse not connected to this NUC at the login screen. I can’t remember I needed to do that my main machine running Fedora, but oh well, the fix is simple enough (if you know now)....
