This problem has been around for a long time, and Du Niang cannot find a solution. Finally, Google went to the opensuse forum to find someone mentioned it. This was caused by a bug.

Based on the post content, stopping apparmor should solve the problem. This method is feasible after trial.

How to stop apparmor:

Go to "apparmor control pannel" and disable the default settings.

You can enter apparmor in the beginning of xwindows to search for "apparmor control pannel". opensuse is a good tool.
