   Yes, of course openSUSE uses systemd only.

   You must learn the basics of systemd. It is quite easy.

   The first thing to find out is why the firewall failed to start. Very   
   probably it tries to start and fails for some reason. The command is:   
      
   systemctl status firewalld   
      
   It should say   
      
   loaded: ... enabled   
   active: active   
      
   Yours will probably say different, so copy it here. If not, issue:   
      
      
   systemctl --now enable firewalld   
      
   and then ask for status. If it fails, then you need to find out why:   
      
   journalctl
