[opensuse] momentary route
by jdd＠dodin.org 23 May '17

Hello, It happens that I have today two internet boxes. My main computer is connected to the two ones (one by ethernet, the other by wifi) I use mostly the wifi only to connect to the box itself by IP (internal network), but sometime, for administrative purpose, I need to access internet by the second (wifi) box - mainly when I need to connect to the provider network. How can I instruct firefox to use the wifi network when necessary? is it possible to give route infos in the url? thanks jdd (firefox, opensuse 12.2) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Digikam, etc. cannot upload from iPhone 6S
by Dennis Gallien 21 May '17

21 May '17

Not sure if this is a KDE or Solid (or other) issue . . . sorry for message length but trying to include all relevant data I know of . . . Digikam has worked great importing/deleting photos from iPhone 6S for a year, working on 13.2. I recently upgraded 13.2 => 42.1 => 42.2 about a month ago. I can't honestly say whether this problem arose with the Leap upgrade, or with an update since. When Digikam opens it displays the following error message: The specified camera ("/org/kde/solid/udev/sys/devices/ pci0000:00/0000:00:12.2/usb1/1-1/1-1:4.2/net/eth2") is not supported. ~>lsusb shows the camera as: Bus 001 Device 002: ID 05ac:12a8 Apple, Inc. Switching to a different port , , , ~>lsusb Bus 004 Device 003: ID 05ac:12a8 Apple, Inc. Digikam then throws this error when started: The specified camera ("/org/kde/solid/udev/sys/devices/ pci0000:00/0000:00:13.2/usb4/4-2/4-2:4.2/net/eth1") is not supported. Yet still Digikam (and other photo apps) autodetects the phone. It is shown under the Import menu, and when Import for the phone is selected the second Digikam windows opens. At bottom it shows the correct camera media capacity and amount used, while under the Device menu it shows the phone is recognized on the correct usb port. It shows that upload and delete are supported functions. But it cannot see the photo files. (It is seen as an "iPhone5 (PTP mode)"; gphoto2 --list-cameras does not show iPhone6 but that was not a problem before; the udev hwdb shows the same phone ID for both iPhone5 and iPhone6. Tested this with my wife's iPhone 5 and the errors were the same.) gphoto2: --list-ports sees the correct port --list-folders sees the "store_feedface" folder but no files. --abilities shows iPhone 5 with USB support, file preview and upload = yes When I try kio camera:/ in Dolphin I get: camera:/Apple%2520iPhone%25205%2520(PTP%2520mode)@usb:001,002/ An "Apple iPhone 5 (PTP Model)" folder appears with the sub-folder "store_feedface" but no DCIM folder nor any photos. When I try gtkam it can see the iPhone "store-feedface" but not DCIM, no files. Experimenting with this app I once got this error, too: An error occurred in the io-library ('Could not claim the USB device'): Could not claim interface 0 (Device or resource busy). Make sure no other program (gvfs-gphoto2-volume-monitor) or kernel module (such as sdc2xx, stv680, spca50x) is using the device and you have read/write access to the device. Similarly, when I tried Shotwell it threw: Unable to fetch previews from the camera: Could not claim the USB device (-53) But strangely, darktable uploads (and deletes) the iPhone files even though it uses libgphoto2.so.6 just as all the other apps do. Still works fine with my Canon A570. Digikam Version 5.4.0 Using: KDE Frameworks 5.26.0 Qt 5.6.1 (built against 5.6.1) My suspicion is that the problem is connect to the error "could not claim USB device", as I've seen that several times. Just a wild-ass guess. I checked Bugzilla KDE and Solid, found multiple instances of PTP cameras being recognized but files not retrievable over the last ~5 years. But nothing recent. I did find a 2011 bug report on Ubuntu Launchpad which was reported again in Dec claiming a regression in Digikam, but it wasn't verified. (And that was Digikam4, not 5). Any suggestions where to look further? Again, apologies for length. TIA, Dennis P.S. KDE folks might want to note that the Device Notifier entry always displays the camera twice rather than just once when it's attached, and when the "Open with File Manager" option is chosen, the app errors on not finding the KDE4 version of Dolphin: KDEInit could not launch 'dolphin4': Could not open library 'libkdeinit5_dolphin4'. Cannot load library libkdeinit5_dolphin4: (libkdeinit5_dolphin4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] kicker bar and grouped programs
by Marc Chamberlin 21 May '17

21 May '17

There is a small annoyance with the kicker bar and grouped programs that I wonder if it has been addressed/fixed/worked around. I often open a number of windows for Firefox (and other programs) and configure the kicker bar to allow such collections to be grouped together. This allows the grouped list to be presented as a popup list of window titles instead of having one icon per each window displayed in the kicker bar. The trouble is that there are one or two items of the list that are not presented above the kicker bar and instead the kicker bar overlays on top of them. This prevents one from being able to click on that item in order to open up the window associated with it. Any ideas on how to fix this? I tried Google searches but suspect I am not using the right terminology or phrasing my queries correctly in order to find a solution. Is this a KDE issue? (I am not always sure where the line is drawn that separates KDE things from SuSE things...)

[opensuse] Re: [opensuse-factory] Keyboard Mapping in KDE

As made, keyboards "know" nothing of markets or languages. They simply produce a key code, depending on the key pressed. It is the software that translates that key code into the appropriate character. My keyboards are made for U.S. English, but I have changed the layout to International English. So, somewhere, there is a mapping of key to character and the maps are easy to change. However, it would be nice to be able to change an individual key within that map. For example, I have occasionally used the Greek layout, to get some math symbols. One thing I've noticed is where it's supposed to produce the ohm symbol, as used in electronics, it instead produces the omega symbol, as used in math. I'd like to be able to change that. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] 42.2 - plymouth-start.service: Failed with result 'core-dump'.
by listreader 20 May '17

20 May '17

Moving a machine from 42.1/LXDE(gtk) to 42.2/XFCE by fresh install. From the log: systemd[1]: Received SIGRTMIN+21 from PID 306 (plymouthd). display-manager[1419]: error: unexpectedly disconnected from boot status daemon systemd[1]: plymouth-start.service: Main process exited, code=dumped, status=11/SEGV systemd[1]: plymouth-start.service: Unit entered failed state. systemd[1]: plymouth-start.service: Failed with result 'core-dump'. But the machine boots fine, including asking for the two different required LUKS passwords, then the user password, and then into the gui. What is? Thanks.

Hello all. I have a server in which I can't manage cups using yast. CUPS works without any problem on http://localhost:631 and lpr, lpq, lpstat, etc are OK. However yast complains that the cups server is not reachable on localhost. Any idea? How is yast accessing cups?

[opensuse] Problem with kmail4 after unsuccessful try to update to Kmail5
by Stakanov Schufter 19 May '17

19 May '17

Hi, I was trying to update to kmail5 (current version Leap 42.2). However the result was so problematic (flickering, no possibility to use menue, malfunction of the IMAP) that I turned to Kmail4. But now it does not work anymore. a) filters do not work at all b) when trying to send the programm gives the following error message. Impossible to recover d-bus interface of the mailfilteragent. I would like to know if this can be fixed by starting some service or by installing some more rpm, maybe some forgotten dependency not drawn in automaticly? I would have tried to use Kmail5 / Kontact5 but as long as my system becomes a flickering discotec and no menue whatsoever in KDE can be used (because they all collapse within seconds, and the flicker of all buttons, etc) this will be difficult. So at least I would like to have the status quo back. Thank you. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] kdenlive version check
by ianseeks 19 May '17

19 May '17

HI According to yast, the version of kdenlive i have installed is 16.12.3-1.1 but the debug-info/source/lang (not installed) are for 17.04.1-1.1 - The latest version, according the their website, for download is 17.04.1. The instructions for an opensuse 42.1/tumbleweed install, also according the their website, is "zypper install kdenlive5". So has the binary name changed and does anyone know when the binary version match the debug-info/source/lang files? I don't seem to have some features as shown on some youtube videos of versions earlier than mine (its very possible its a config change i need to do). Regards Ian -- opensuse:tumbleweed:20170516 Qt: 5.7.1 KDE Frameworks: 5.33.0 KDE Plasma: 5.9.5 kwin 5.9.5 kmail2 5.5.0 akonadiserver 5.5.0 Kernel: 4.11.0-1-default Nouveau: 1.0.15_1.1 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Bacula
by Marc Chamberlin 19 May '17

19 May '17

Hi - I think I will stick my neck out a bit and make an offer to see if there is any interest in Bacula. (maybe I can give back a bit to openSuSE for all it has done for me over the years..) I just spent quite a bit of effort getting Bacula 7.4 up an running on all my openSuSE Leap 42.2 systems and so far it now seems to be working pretty well. (I am using it with the MySQL/MariaDB database and make no claims on how to set it up for other databases.) I noted that Bacula no longer seems to be supported in the openSuSE distribution (dunno why, probably lack of interest or time to maintain it?) So, if there is any interest in it, and if some kind guru wants to help guide me along the path, I would be willing to share what it took to get it working and/or perhaps put it in a repository somewhere so that others could use it as well. Caveats however - I have absolutely no idea how, nor have I ever done anything like put together a package for software, so I am a complete novice in that regards. I did not make any modifications to the actual code for Bacula, nor did I have to build it from source, but I did have to add/modify a number of the scripts and config files associated with it to get it to work. I have it running as systemd services and think I kept it pretty much configured/installed on my systems in the openSuSE way of doing things, but again that might require some verification from an openSuSE guru because I do not claim to be any sort of expert on how openSuSE designers want to model/organize software. Also, I am doing disk based backups over a network and have not tested or done anything with tape drives so cannot speak to that. And I mostly use the monkey see monkey do approach and rely on some blind luck at times! ;-) FYI - I started with the bacula rpm package I found at http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/j-engel/openSUSE_Leap_42.2/… Any interest/takers? How should I proceed? Marc.... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
