[opensuse] mount to static mount point in /media in openSUSE 13.1 and newer
by Istvan Gabor 01 Dec '16

01 Dec '16

Hello: I have openSUSE 13.1 and 13.2 machines with their default KDE desktops. I would like that optical media would be mounted (automounted) to static mount points/names like dvd or dvdrw in /media, eg. /media/dvdrw. How can I achieve that? I also would like that usb flash disks would be mounted in /media either to static names or their volume names, eg: /media/flashdisk or /media/<volume-name>. How to do this? Thanks, Istvan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Turn off touch pad in 42.2
by James Knott 01 Dec '16

01 Dec '16

I have a ThinkPad E520 notebook computer. With earlier versions of openSUSE, I was able to disable the touch pad with a script in the .kde4/Autorun directory, which disabled the touch pad. This doesn't seem to work with 42.2. Even running it manually doesn't work. How do I turn off the #$%*&#$ touch pad??? The script contained: !/bin/sh synclient TouchpadOff=1 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] 42.2 WiFi password not saved
by James Knott 01 Dec '16

01 Dec '16

It appears I now have to enter the WiFi password every time I try to connect. In 13.1, I could save the password for each connection. While I could use KWallet, that also required the password to be entered every time I log into my computer. How do I permanently save the Wifi passwords, without using KWallet??? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] xdg-utils update messed with cups/firefox? [42.1]
by listreader 01 Dec '16

01 Dec '16

Since the xdg-utils update the other day I am unable to print from firefox. The print dialog works fine but the file disappears into space. Printing from other sources (claws-mail, etc) apparently works fine. To debug I tried to start cups from the LXDE (gtk) menu entry "Manage Printing" which points to "/usr/share/applications/cups.desktop" and therein the command line is "desktop-launch http://localhost:631/". This no longer starts cups in the browser but instead displays my /home in a webpage. Eh, that's not good. Running "http://localhost:631/" directly in a browser (firefox 50.0) works fine and opens the local cups webpage, so the problem appears to be the "desktop-launch" thing which is a link defined as so: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 Jan 31 2016 /usr/bin/desktop-launch -> xdg-open ... and "xdg-open" is: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 21906 Nov 18 10:20 /usr/bin/xdg-open ... which was installed/updated here on the 29th and which since that date I cannot print in firefox. Ok, where do I go from here? Thanks.
