[opensuse] why are sockets used by programs included in the startup-config files
by Linda Walsh 19 Sep '16

19 Sep '16

I was somehow curious about why the new startup configs that replaced the old scripts have a bunch of service.socket entries. How are those used by the uberdaemon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

If you try to do it manually it does not work (for reciprocal dependencies and conflicts with the packman packages). If you run the pullin script then just the codec is installed. This is a new behaviour though. Normally installing the packman packages worked. --- Mail & Cloud Made in Germany mit 3 GB Speicher! https://email.freenet.de/mail/Uebersicht?epid=e9900000450 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Amarok does not play
by stakanov＠freenet.de 18 Sep '16

18 Sep '16

Strange problem here on one user account. You open Amarok. No problem. You scan you collection. No problem. You opens and set anything you wish...no problem. Codecs from packman, all other users play well. But in this user: - you see the file in the collection, put it to play. Nothing happens. There is no error message. There is just nothing going on. The progress bar does not progress. Nothing. The files are O.K. and play e.g. in Kaffeine. I have no explanation for this behavior what so ever. I tried to eliminate the cache - nothing I tried to eliminate the whole folder of amarok, rescanned the collection: nothing. by running debug, when trying to play there seems to be a codec problem. But only for one user???!

[opensuse] HP to buy SUSE (aka Micro Focus to merge with HP Enterprise)
by Per Jessen 17 Sep '16

17 Sep '16

Apparently, Micro Focus intend to merge with the software half of HP Enterprise. Servers, mass-storage and maintenance will remain with HPE. The new name will shall be Micro Focus. Through this deal, HPE will make USD2.5bill in cash, but more importantly Micro Focus shares worth 6.3billion which means HPE will own 50.1% of the new Micro Focus. And therefore also SUSE. SUSE is to become a preferred HPE business partner. The deal is due to conclude by autumn 2017, but is subject to approval by relevant authorities.

[opensuse] sound configuration question
by Istvan Gabor 17 Sep '16

17 Sep '16

Hello: I have a computer which has 2 sound devices, an Intel HDMI and an Intel PCH analog device. I use openSUSE 13.1. I would like to disable pulseaudio and use ALSA instead. But occasionally I need to use pulseaudio, these times I want to run pulseaudio in a konsole window as user. When my computer boots it configures HDMI sound device as default, and the PCH device as the second device. For pulseaudio this is not a problem, but ALSA gives error. I followed the instructions suggested at the site SDB:Audio troubleshooting (https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Audio_troubleshooting) under "Intel HDA chipset" section (close to the bottom). Now my /etc/modprobe.d/50-sound.conf file looks like: options snd slots=snd-hda-intel,snd-hda-intel # 3hqH.8EjpIr9tE67:Intel Corporation alias snd-card-1 snd-hda-intel # u1Nb.T8kD_XvPfB2:Intel Corporation alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel options snd-hda-intel id=PCH index=0 options snd-hda-intel id=HDMI index=1 This works with ALSA when pulseaudio is disabled. But when I run pulseaudio manually, then applications can't find the device ("ALSA error: snd_pcm_open failed; Device or resource busy." error message.). So, how can I configure my sound cards order so that ALSA would find them when pulseaudio is disabled, and applications could use pulseaudio's ALSA-plugin (ALSA back) when pulseaudio is running? I am pretty sure that the problem is cause by the order of devices, because on another computer with only one sound device I can play sound with pulseaudio enabled and with pulseaudio disabled without changing any configuration. Another question: After I have modified /etc/modprobe.d/50-sound.conf file, how can I make the changes effective without restarting the computer?

[opensuse] "Default" X session in TW
by Felix Miata 17 Sep '16

17 Sep '16

I did a zypper -v up followed by zypper -v dup to 20160914 on a TW/KDE3/KDM3 installation last updated about two months ago. I might never have started this installation in graphical.target before, as kdmrc hadn't been modified by me before tonight, and I normally make fixing it one of the first things I do after a KDE3 installation. I did notice it had kdmrc.old, kdmrc, and kdmrc.rpmnew all with different timestamps, and two different file sizes, indicating some kind of content change occurred recently. Started after the update in graphical.target, I simply logged in, as two different users. This opened a session I could not recognize, with no panel, no apparent access to any type of menus, and some kind of untabbed terminal with no window decorations. Logging out then back in after selecting KDE3 as session worked as expected. /usr/share/xsessions/ has four files: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2509 Sep 2 13:34 icewm-session.desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4353 Sep 2 13:34 icewm.desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3904 Sep 12 19:11 kde.desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 138 Aug 28 04:54 kodi.desktop 1-was whatever session type this was working as intended? 2-what session type was it? 3-is a new BZ warranted? 4-if 4 is yes, against what component? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

[opensuse] simple FTP server?
by Mikhail Ramendik 16 Sep '16

16 Sep '16

Hello, I am running Leap and need to set up an FTP server for the home network. Nothing fancy, a fixed username/password giving read/write access to a directory. Using my own main user sounds a bit insecure, though? And I failed to find this simple setup in yast or in a quick google. Everything revolves around letting existing users log on thru FTP or not, and even that is not entirely clear (can my main user log on thru vsftpd by default? what do I do to enable/disable it?) I would appreciate advice on how to make this work in the simplest way possible. Bonus points for being able to share the same directory with the same credentials using samba. -- Yours, Mikhail Ramendik Unless explicitly stated, all opinions in my mail are my own and do not reflect the views of any organization -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] KDE switching applications to other desktops
by tech＠reachthetribes.org 16 Sep '16

16 Sep '16

There used to be a feature with KDE on switching an application from being on one desktop space to another desktop space. In the new system, the feature has been limited, and I am wondering if there is a way to get it back. The way it works is like this. Say I have opened libreoffice calc, thunderbird, and kwrite all in desktop 1. I think thinks are getting too cluttered. So I go down to the taskbar and right-click on the application that I want to move to desktop 2. The popup windows has at the top "Move to Desktop >", and then if you hover the mouse over the arrow, the list of numbered desktops comes up. Then you can move the mouse over desktop 2, and that application will be moved to desktop 2. That is all fine and great. However, up until one of the recent KDE updates, there was another feature that made it even better. When you right clicked on the application in the taskbar, there was an underline "_" underneath the "D" in "_D_esktop". This indicated that you could right click on it with your right hand, hit the letter "D" with your left hand, and then there was also a shortcut for the numbered desktops, so you could just then hit the number "2" to switch the application to the 2nd desktop. This simple but seemingly insignificant set of shortcuts saved me a lot of time when I was moving back and forth between desktops and switching applications between desktops. However, with the latest release of KDE, this feature seems to have been removed. (Is this considered part of the process of improvement?) You can still right click and mouse over everything to do what you want, but the shortcut component has been removed. In any case, does anyone know how to get that feature back? -- George Box: 42.1 | KDE Plasma 5 | AMD Phenom IIX4 | 64 | 32GB Laptop #1: 42.1 | KDE Plasma 5 | Core i7-4710HQ | 64 | 16GB Laptop #2: 42.1 | KDE Plasma 5 | Core i5 | 64 | 8GB -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
