[opensuse] evince in kde/plasma windowsize
by Simon Becherer 19 Jul '18

19 Jul '18

Hi, using evince in kde/plasma tumbleweed. some questions: 1) sometimes when started, its in very small windows, and i am not able to resizeit by moving mouse courser to the frame and press button and move. only right klick at top frame and selecting resize will change size. (complete enlarging works - but this is way to big for huge screens) how to start at fixed size (normaly right cklick at top frame and then "weitere aktionen" (more actions) "spezielle einstellungen fuer dieses fenster" (special settings for this windows) but the evince window did not have such a dialog. 2) all windows normally have a small black frame around, so if gray window is on gray window, you could see where is the end of the window. evince window did not have this small black frame. how to get a such frame, or how to change color of the evince window? 3) or (alternative) is there a possibility for okular to tell them "rotate and resize printing always to fit paper?) because this is was evince will do, okular not (somtimes it refuses to resize to "a3" at all, and because of manual rotation i need twice as much paper to rotate always for all printers correct..... simoN -- www.becherer.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] thunderbird in TW
by George from the tribe 19 Jul '18

19 Jul '18

Ok, with my new TW installation, I received the higher version of Thunderbird for email - it is 59.2. Problem - the lightning calendar addon that is downloadable from Mozilla has the highest max thunderbird version that it is compatible with as 52.9, not 59.2. However, this link https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Calendar/Calendar_Versions indicates that there is a stable release of Lightning available all the way up to thunderbird 62.0. So, if I upgrade lightning to the highest stable release, I should be able to run the lightning calendar addon. Problem - I cannot find where to actually download that higher stable release. The link I posted there only says it has been released. It has instructions on how to click on the link and go to the "development channel," but going there (which I assume is the same as the "developer home", as that is the only thing that sounds almost like "development channel"), there is no indication anywhere that I can find of the latest "stable" releases for download. So the other option is to downgrade thunderbird to an earlier version, one that is not available in tumbleweed. I don't really know how feasible that is Any ideas? I want to stick with tumbleweed because I can finally use my mouse pad and the graphics look nicer, as well as it being generally smoother and faster (IMHO). -- 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: 42.3 | 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

[opensuse] Tmux froze and would not refresh.
by Carlos E. R. 19 Jul '18

19 Jul '18

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, A curiosity. I had to shuffle around some power cables on my home-server/media-center, and instead of powering it down, I hibernated it. I power it back, and I continue doing things on it remotely via ssh. Then I notice that while my tmux session on it responded to create a new tab or switch tabs, the tabs themselves did not refresh. Then I noticed that the X display on the server had frozen, did not respond to mouse or keyboard, not even to ctrl-alt-backspace.

And I forgot to capture to file the crash dump. However, what surprised me is that "tmux" did not respond. The contents of the "tabs" froze. The X graphical session had one terminal with tmux running, and tmux could not update its contents on the frozen display... I wonder if next time I can do something to disconnect tmux from the frozen display and regain control of my important tasks running inside :-? - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I got a strange flickering effect in the display of photos in at least one LO writer document.

[opensuse] using optimus prime on 43.3?
by Daniel Bauer 18 Jul '18

18 Jul '18

Hi, After solving the problem of loading nvidia drivers thanks to the help on this list, especially Andrei, I open a new thread in the hope that maybe, maybe my nvidia card can be used one day. I have an Asus GL552V laptop, i7 6700, optimus graphics intel/nvidia running opensuse leap 42.3, KDE It now runs the intel graphics only, in a terrible way with lot of flickering. I cannot disable the intel graphics or make the nvidia graphics primary in the BIOS (there are no such options there and I double-double-checked...). I would love to be able to switch between both cards (intel/nvidia) just as it was possible on OpenSuse 13x using suse-prime. If that's not possible, I'd love to have nvidia activated all the time. I don't want bumblebee, as for my work-flow it is not really helpful. I have installed the nvidia drivers from the opensuse nvidia repositiory and they are up and loaded. But running prime-select (installed from the 42.3 repo) something breaks so that I cannot logout from the KDE session nor shutdown with the KDE menu button. As somebody suggested I changed the display manager from sddm to kdm, but that didn't help. How can I goon testing and maybe solve the problem? What and where do I have to look? Thanks for your time and energy and help!

[opensuse] lxcc won't start
by Dave Howorth 18 Jul '18

18 Jul '18

As I mentioned in another thread, lxcc won't start after my upgrade to Leap 15. I see it has been discussed before here: https://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2018-03/msg00087.html I have the same error but the previous thread doesn't really help me. I don't understand much about themes & icons etc. I try to ignore that whole area as long as I have a display that works. David Haller suggested something to do with linking process-stop.svg and gtk-stop.svg. FWIW I have: /usr/share/icons/Tango/scalable/actions/process-stop.svg /usr/share/icons/HighContrast/scalable/actions/process-stop.svg /usr/share/icons/Tango/scalable/actions/gtk-stop.svg and according to lxappearance I am using a theme called Adwaita. If I switch to Tango then lxcc starts. I have no idea what other things changing my icon theme may do. Presumably it's a bug that I had to switch icon theme, but what is the bug? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

That was it. :) Many thanks Is there any way to tell FF to apply it system-wide or do I have to change it for every profile? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
