New installation teething problems

As the enqueue problem is not consistently reproducible (just like the OpenSUSE problems I saw myself), I am unable to investigate or suggest a cause. I can only suggest that you use a different Linux distribution such as Ubuntu or Debian, both of which have worked reliably with MinimServer in all my testing over many years.

Hi Simon, your notes and persistence won the day. It has been impossible for me to reproduce my problems here as every attempt yields a different result. The problem has probably been caused by having to route through a series of no less than three managed switches pending some more hardware and cabling improvements.

I would never go to Ubuntu but did have a backup machine running Debian as the most reliable and solid option. This is presently the machine I have just upgraded and is temporarily standing in as my main machine, having to run minmserver on openSUSE Leap 15.3 while my main machine and my older NAS gets their hardware upgrades. I still have faith in openSUSE but less in KDE.

Only one day lost here and I am sorry I wasted a good deal of your time but at least the outcome has been good and I am most thankful, as ever, for your help and brilliant programme.

Regards,
Alastair.
