[opensuse] Which is better? Exchange 2016 or Linux-based SMTP Servers?
by Turritopsis Dohrnii Teo En Ming 02 Aug '18

02 Aug '18

Good evening from Singapore, I am torn between deploying Exchange 2016 and Linux-based SMTP servers like sendmail, postfix, qmail and exim. Relative ease of installation and configuration is an important consideration factor. Exchange 2016, Domain Controller, and Active Directory are relatively easy to install and configure. Linux-based SMTP servers are extremely difficult to install and configure and of course, extremely time-consuming. One of the features of Exchange 2016 is that you can create additional folders on your Inbox in the server (server-side). Can Linux-based SMTP servers do that? Does Exchange 2016 offer more user-friendly features or Linux-based SMTP servers? Besides the above considerations, how about security? Traditionally, Linux is far more secure than Windows. Judging by security, Linux-based SMTP servers ought to have a higher percentage of the market share? Finally, I can only use Windows Server 2016 Standard Evaluation Copy FREE for a period of 3 years MAXIMUM. But I can use Linux servers and Mail Transport Agents (MTA) FREE perpetually. Please advise. Thank you very much. ===BEGIN SIGNATURE=== Turritopsis Dohrnii Teo En Ming's Academic Qualifications as at 30 Oct 2017 [1] https://tdtemcerts.wordpress.com/ [2] http://tdtemcerts.blogspot.sg/ [3] https://www.scribd.com/user/270125049/Teo-En-Ming ===END SIGNATURE=== -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Bug 1099565 – Icons and text not displaying properly - Leap 15.0
by James Knott 02 Aug '18

02 Aug '18

I created this report because of a frequent problem with the desktop. Has anyone else noticed it? Also, I find, with 15.0, that some things are slower to start. For example, if I press Alt-F2, to do some function, and start typing, it takes a few seconds for the characters to appear. It seems sluggish in other ways too. https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1099565 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Help with Ethernet and wireless drivers
by don fisher 31 Jul '18

31 Jul '18

I am running Leap 42.3 and recently purchased an Alienware 13 R3 laptop that contains: 1. Qualcomm Atheros Killer E2500 Gigabit Ethernet Controller 2. Qualcomm Atheros QCA6174 80211 ac Wireless Network Controller I ran Yast networking and no devices were discovered. Is there a way, some switch in modprobe perhaps, to tell which module is required? Is there an opensuse procedure or some other advice? I looked on google and found some Ubuntu links, but nothing relating to opensuse.

[opensuse] Small editor project - feedback
by David C. Rankin 30 Jul '18

30 Jul '18

If anybody has the time (or need) for a small gtk based editor, I could use some help with testing a little project. Most recently word-completion was added along with the right-margin visual guide. Written in C with the Gtk+2 toolkit, the package is about 109k in size. Most systems will already have Gtk2 installed and the libgtksourceview package is about 300k. Both light and dark syntax highlight styles are included. For Leap 15, the package is: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/drankinatty/openSUSE_Leap_1… there are packages available for 13.1 - Leap 15. If you find any problems, let me know, or open an issue on github: https://github.com/drankinatty/gtkwrite -- David C.

[opensuse] Ancient OS and software
by Frans de Boer 30 Jul '18

30 Jul '18

LS, As is custom with previous releases of opensuse, leap 15 also has a unsupported and in linux terms ancient os embraced. I just wonder, why not use a LTS linux instead of an OS the opensuse developers have to maintain themself? Of course there is more ancient software like old gcc software etc. Okay, it is tried and stable and it compiles software which does not compile under 8.1 without modification due to syntax errors. A lot of old other stuff too. I do use TW when developing and in all those years it turns out as quite stable except for some glitches happening once a year. It feels like it is good enough for day to day office work, but if you want a little more...

[opensuse] Creating links in file browser
by Carlos E. R. 29 Jul '18

29 Jul '18

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I wonder if there is some file browser that would allow to select a number of files, and then create a hard-link of all of them in another directory. I have tried dolphin, nautilus, thunar, gnome commander. Some offer creating soft-links, I want hard links this time. Even Midnight Commander can't: it creates hard link only for the currently selected file only, and asks for destination name. Single file and prompt, so no use for this. Nautilus, for instance, can create soft-links on the selection, but then can not select a bunch of files by pattern. I have to select all, then delete by pattern using something else. Thunar can select by pattern, but not create links of any kind instead of copy. No tool is complete yet? Then Nautilus goes nuts, processing my directory that I'm trying to link, which is full of photos, doing the preview of a thousand photos. Both on the original and the copy. Then tracker-store goes nuts as well, at 100% CPU. All my 4 cores are busy :-( - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.

The last several days my update applications on OpenSuSE have reported time out errors with the Nvidia Repositories. Are the servers down or have they moved?

[opensuse] kodi logging in the wine directories
by Dave Howorth 29 Jul '18

29 Jul '18

Why is kodi logging under .wine? I just did a search to find if kodi made any logs. I was very surprised to find a log in /home/piglet/home/dhoworth/.wine/dosdevices/y:/.kodi/temp/kodi.log /home/piglet/home/dhoworth/ is a data directory where I keep most of my personal files. Lots of things have symbolic links from /home/dhoworth to there because there is more space there. e.g. /home/dhoworth/Pictures -> ../piglet/home/dhoworth/Pictures/ .wine is there because in the dim and distant past it used to actually be my home directory and in those dim and distant days I occasionally used wine, but I haven't used it for ages. So why has the newly installed kodi decided to write a log in such an obscure place? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] snapperd when I start a service?
by Dave Howorth 28 Jul '18

28 Jul '18

Seriously? snapperd runs whenever I start or stop a service in YaST? Isn't that a little over the top? It makes my system slow to a crawl for ages whilst it presumably snapshots the filesystem, just because I started a service? Is there any way to change that (other than the obvious way of not using that function in YaST)? Why is that the default? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] chromium update?
by Dave Howorth 27 Jul '18

27 Jul '18

I've just got a 'security' update for chromium, together with an 'optional' update. The optional update lists a load of ffmpeg packages which on my system come from packman, not opensuse. So my instinct was to refuse the optional update. So I accepted the security update and it said it wants to 'conditionally update' (=install) libavutil56, libavcode58, libswresample3 and libavformat58. That would mean I have a mixture of libav* components from packman and opensuse. Is that wise? What is supposed to happen here? Why does a web browser care so much about the particular versions of my multimedia libraries anyway? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
