[opensuse] No keyboard backlight since 4.18.x kernels
by Albert Oszkó 09 Nov '18

09 Nov '18

Hi all, My problem is in the subject. I even cannot find anymore where ccould I set it. I have two ASUS laptops, from the K501U series, but they are non identical. Keyboard backlight is lost on both of them. The last 4.17.x kernel had/has keyboard light. I waited for updates but with the coming of 4.18.6 kernel the lights are still lost. Albert

[opensuse] Qt Creator
by Dave Howorth 09 Nov '18

09 Nov '18

Does anybody use Qt Creator? I've just installed it on Leap 15.0 (V4.6.1 from the standard repositories) but I'm having trouble getting it to work. I've got the main window coming up and went to the first tutorial 'Help: Build and Run Examples' (Grr! another annoying program that won't allow me to select text!). Clicking on that brings up a web page <https://doc.qt.io/qtcreator/creator-build-example-application.html> and that says I should go to an example, but there appear to be no examples installed. In that case, it says to check what Qt versions are installed and clicking on that link takes me to <https://doc.qt.io/qtcreator/creator-project-qmake.html> and that says to 'Select Tools > Options > Kits > Qt Versions > Add' but the Tools menu has an Options... button and when I select that I get (a modal WTF!) window with lots of possibilities but none of them is Kits. Oh, and those weblinks are to Qt Creator Manual 4.7.2 so there's a possibility that the documentation is wrong because it's a different version. So what am I missing? Has openSUSE packaged it wrong so I'm missing some package or other, or is there a bug in Qt Creator, or do I have finger trouble?

[opensuse] display managers, startx
by Michael Fischer 05 Nov '18

05 Nov '18

I may have missed the story, and google didn't help (perhaps I used the wrong incantation) Questions: 1) Is the *only* reason for deprecating `startx(1)` the setuid bit requirement? If not, what are the other reasons? 2) I have various xset, xrdb and other commands in my ~/.xinitrc prior to the exec of the windowmanager. In the display manager scenario, are these still run? If not, what is the recommended way to have them executed? I wonder if this is the right idea? https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/47359/what-is-xsession-for and moving the commands from ~/.xinitrc to ~/.xsession? I suppose the exact spot is DM-dependent? FWIW, I use fvwm2, specified in ~/.xinitrc: ``` export WINDOMANAGER=/usr/bin/fvwm ... various xset, xrdb, etc.. commands ... exec $WINDOWMANAGER ${1+"$@"} ``` 3) If I want to swap LightDM for SDDM, what is the recommended procedure?

[opensuse] Scanner settings?
by James Knott 04 Nov '18

04 Nov '18

I have an Epson scanner and have been using it for years with sane. However, the software that comes with openSUSE does not have any means to save settings. So, every time I want to scan a document, I have to select source and then choose mode, resolution and set the boundaries, even though I use the same settings virtually every time I scan. Is there any way to save those settings? Perhaps a better app? I have Skanlite installed, but it has the same issue. tnx jk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] no X after switch to EFI boot / NVIDIA
by Paul Neuwirth 03 Nov '18

03 Nov '18

Hello, sorry I could not do much recherche.. It's hard without X. Maybe someone has a clue, why Xorg does not launch after switch from BIOS boot to EFI boot.. Thank you for any hint.. maybe it's also obvious for someone... First symptom, I have a different console font (I did never use kms before..). I tried to enable or disable modesetting (nomodeset / drm-nvidia.modesetting=0).. There are two nvidia cards installed.. maybe it is a resource conflict, that did not appear at BIOS boot. Maybe I have some incompatible packages installed... rpm -qa | grep -iE "nv-|nvidia|nouv" nvidia-glG04-390.87-lp150.10.2.x86_64 xf86-video-nv-2.1.21-lp150.1.7.x86_64 x11-video-nvidiaG04-390.87-lp150.10.2.x86_64 nvidia-computeG04-390.87-lp150.10.2.x86_64 php7-iconv-7.2.5-lp150.2.15.1.x86_64 nvidia-gfxG04-kmp-default-390.87_k4.12.14_lp150.11-lp150.10.1.x86_64 libvdpau_nouveau-18.0.2-lp150.17.2.x86_64 Mesa-dri-nouveau-18.0.2-lp150.17.2.x86_64 xf86-video-nouveau-1.0.15-lp150.1.9.x86_64 libdrm_nouveau2-32bit-2.4.91-lp150.1.2.x86_64 unoconv-0.7-lp150.1.8.noarch libdrm_nouveau2-2.4.96-lp150.245.1.x86_64 the output of x.org: https://www.swabian.net/extern/problemnvidia/xsession some important lines: (EE) [drm] Failed to open DRM device for (null): -2 (EE) [drm] Failed to open DRM device for (null): -2 the dmesg output: https://www.swabian.net/extern/problemnvidia/dmesg when I try to start the displaymanager.service I get instantly: [ 99.473246] resource sanity check: requesting [mem 0x000c0000-0x000fffff], which spans more than PCI Bus 0000:00 [mem 0x000c0000-0x000dffff window] [ 99.473347] caller _nv001169rm+0xe3/0x1d0 [nvidia] mapping multiple BARs Thank you for any help Paul Neuwirth -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Epson L805 , anybody?
by Radule Šoškić 03 Nov '18

03 Nov '18

Hi, Any experiences with Epson L805 on this list? Compatibility, qualty, economy - pro et contra, please. Currently, I know there is some level of support for Linux (generic driver and utility SW available at http://download.ebz.epson.net/dsc/search/01/search/searchModule). It's all very new (25.10.2018). It seems that CISS/ITS technology takes economy to next level comparing to older ink-jets and lasers, and that's what attracted me. But I would like to get some real-life comments from real users, if any. TIA and best regards, Radule Soskic N��r��y隊Z)z{.�ﮞ˛��m�)z{.��+�:�{Zr�az�'z��j)h��Ǿ� ޮ�^�ˬz��

[opensuse] python question
by George from the tribe 02 Nov '18

02 Nov '18

I am looking to get started on learning python. Any python programmers out there? My number 1 question is, what is your preferred IDE? I am looking at a medium sized project (for my experience) and I expect I will need some good troubleshooting tools that also give syntax help. I have read that Eclipse is a really good IDE for python, even though it is mostly used for java, and that PyDev adds lots of features to Eclipse. But there are other recommendations also. Anyone have any thoughts on what you have used and prefer? Advantages and disadvantages? -- George Box: 42.3 | KDE Plasma 5.8 | AMD Phenom IIX4 | 64 | 32GB Laptop #1: TW | Plasma 5.13 | AMD FX 7TH GEN | 64 | 32GB Laptop #2: 15.0 | KDE Plasma 5.8 | Core i5 | 64 | 8GB -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
