[opensuse] video players and error recovery
by Dave Howorth 30 Sep '18

30 Sep '18

I bought a TV card recently and consequently have become more interested in the capabilities of video players than I was. By default I have tended to use VLC because I like it's interface and it's capability to play videos at faster than normal speeds whilst still producing intelligible audio (good for watching documentaries, I find). But I've also discovered that VLC's error handling is less than ideal. It seems to take quite a long while to recover from an error. So I've experimented with other players to see whether that is the fundamental nature of video (specifically DVB TV) or is player-dependent, and I've discovered that another player - totem (though oddly listed instead as the unspecific 'Videos' in menus) - also has the capability to play sound quickly and seems to have much better error recovery. I've also now noticed that I have totem from the openSUSE OSS repository (Leap 15.0; totem 3.26.0) whilst my VLC comes from packman (3.0.2). So can anybody who understands these things explain why I apparently need to get VLC from packman whilst openSUSE can supply totem and packman don't seem to need to provide a de-crippled version? (whatever crippled means in this context - why do packman need to supply VLC?) Oh and is it worth bug-reporting VLC's error handling? (which I can only do vaguely). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Question for SDDM Experts
by stakanov 30 Sep '18

30 Sep '18

Hello everybody. The question: when playing amarok files and having the system screenlocked with SDDM there are the commands visible to be able to play or to pause and the songs name, etc. I would like to know instead, if it is possible to show, that you have new mail. This is particularly useful, IMO, when the system is locked and you pass by after a while. If Kontact would show in SDDM "New Mail" and eventually which Pop account (for privacy it would not be good to show headers or who did write, only that there is mail and how many) that would be awesome. Did anybody set this up, or does anybody know if this is possible? Thanks in advance. _________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________ Ihre E-Mail-Postf�cher sicher & zentral an einem Ort.

[opensuse] no output tty1-6 after tumbleweed 20180920 tty7 ok
by Simon Becherer 28 Sep '18

28 Sep '18

Hi, i have 5 hardware + software identical systems, only monitor's (always 2 pices) are at one system different. on this system, after update i have no output at screen (only black) at tty 1 to 6. xorg/kde (tty7 graphic is fine) also at loginscreen switching with ctrl+alt+f1 to f6 only black screen's only f7 will work. booting on the same hardware a second tumbleweed installed, same version, but without graphic system installed, there at loginpromt i am able to switch without problems tty. at boot i see the "first part" of the bootmessages, and then at some point screen went black and after some seconds i get graphical login screen but normally i should see longer the bootmessages, normally screen went short black, then messages continue to scroll over screen, and after that the graphical loginscreen will appear. also i do not have any shutdown messages at screen, pressing inside kde shutdown, screen turns black and after a while power will got away. what should i search (maybe inside journal) to find the problem? or is this a know issue? should i asked at the factory@ list because it has something to do with a tumbleweed update? simoN -- www.becherer.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

Interesting article on increasing exploits of vulnerabilities in the open-source supply chain and the sheer scope of what gets pulling into any distribution. https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/09/25/open_source_security/ Glad I don't use struts. -- David C.

[opensuse] zypper download a complete repo
by Simon Becherer 24 Sep '18

24 Sep '18

Hi, i am searching the zypper manpage, but not finding / understanding it: (i do not often use zypper commandline) is there a syntax for only download a complete repo (all rpm's) or at least one rpm? -> i have a non browsable repo for closed source software (we pay for it). i like to store all rpm-files locally. to have the benefit to easily roll back if a new version is incompatible with our systems, or has a bug. (the repo only holds the newest versions.) something like: zypper --download-only [--dry-run] --from http://url * thanks in advance, 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] audio 2.1 on leap 42.3
by jdd＠dodin.org 24 Sep '18

24 Sep '18

Hello, I wonder how to make apps in leap 42.3 use my Asus laptop 2.1 audio system (external sort of boomer) in kde setup, I have only the choice between 2.1 and hdmi 7.1. The first is default and the three speakers works perfectly on test but when I run firefox or vlc (vlc setup to 2.1), no sound goes through the boomer... I understand the audio track is certainly not 2.1, but usual devices do cope with this (my TV set sound 7.1 with stereo entry) any hint? thanks jdd -- http://dodin.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] connection refused on telenet command
by don fisher 24 Sep '18

24 Sep '18

I have disabled the firewall of opensuse 42.3. I am trying to set up my machines so that I can use netconsole to log messages that would normally be sent to the serial port on boot failure. I cannot get telnet to send a message to the host it is on. nc -l -u 23 | tee ~/netconsole.log is the command listening telnet dfpcxx is telnet command entered. I receive: telnet: connect to address 192.168.7.xx: Connection refused Since the firewall is disabled, what is refusing the connection? I get nothing in /var/log/messages and nothing in dmesg. Is this some damn PAM or other thing that is lurking unseen and unreported in the background? Any help would be appreciated.
