[opensuse] Missing menu in libreoffice draw
by Dave Howorth 13 Apr '20

13 Apr '20

I'm just trying to start using libreoffice draw. Leap 15.0 LO Version: 6.2.7.1 (yes I know it's old) The help for Arranging Objects says: "2. Choose Modify - Arrange ..." and searching the help reveals that Modify is supposedly a menu. But there is no Modify menu. Menus are: File Edit View Insert Format Page Shape Tools Window Help A quick web search hasn't shown anything helpful. Does anybody know how to fix this?

[opensuse] SMB1 Support
by Paul Groves 13 Apr '20

13 Apr '20

Hi I have an old computer which only supports SMB1 protocol. Is it possible to create a share in Samba and force that share to be SMB1? Would be good id I could also only allow this one client IP to connect to it if this is possible too?

[opensuse] Desktop search in KDE on Tumbleweed
by Mark Rousell 12 Apr '20

12 Apr '20

I'm new to both Opensuse and KDE and I'm trying to get my head around the file content search capabilities of KDE and Baloo (running in a fresh install of Tumbleweed). Is anyone familiar with Baloo in KDE on Tumbleweed? In particular at the moment, my requirements/expectations are: (1) Dynamic indexing of new file content and changed file content. I'd expect this to be almost instant on a freshly installed system with only a few files. (2) Search of arbitrary files types from the GUI. On point (1): I've successfully set Baloo to index file contents and it can do so when forced (which I've been able to confirm using the "balooshow" command). However, Baloo doesn't seem to want to dynamically index new or changed files. For example, I create a new text file with some unique content, try to search the file contents from the KDE GUI, but the contents are not found until I issue a "balooctl check" command to force re-indexing. As far as I can see, Baloo is supposed to use a file system watcher to see file changes and re-index new/changed files dynamically but it doesn't seem to be doing it. If it is just waiting, how long do I have to wait? And can I increase its responsiveness? On point (2): Both Krunner and the search box on the KDE start menu appear to filter file types for which they return data but I can't see how to alter this. For example, I can create a text file (file.txt) and a HTML file (file.htm) in ~/Desktop, both containing the text "jabberwocky". If I then use "balooctl check" to make sure that they are both indexed, I can confirm that their contents have both been successfully indexed by using "balooshow -x file.txt" or "balooshow -x file.htm". These two commands correctly show the indexed words in the two files. If I use the "baloosearch jabberwocky" command it will correctly return the two files: "file.txt" and "file.htm". BUT, typing "jabberwocky" into either the KDE start menu's search box or Krunner will only list the text file, not the HTML file. In other words, it seems that the GUI is filtering the file types for which it interrogates the index. How can I force it to search for all file types unless I explicitly choose to filter them? I've not yet tested beyond text and HTML files types. If anyone can help me with this or point me to somewhere else to ask, I'd be really grateful. For what it's worth, my use case for this is as follows: I have a large collection (about 1.5 million files) of various document file types, including text, HTML, MHTML, PDF, DOC, DOCX, ODT, and various others, as well as some image file types that have embedded metadata (e.g. description text or tags). I currently use a different desktop search system to index and search these files and metadata and I'd like to migrate to Baloo under KDE. In principle, I know that Baloo can do all this but the details (e.g. dynamic index update) and GUI integration don't seem to be quite as transparent or smooth as I'd have expected. The desktop search system I currently use is Windows Search on Windows 10: It is extremely fast in both indexing (virtually instant for new/changed files with no noticeable effect on system speed) and search. Also the GUI integration is outstanding (available from the start menu and all file manager windows). However, I'd rather move from Windows to Linux. As I mentioned, I know that Baloo is capable of file content indexing/searching (and I think metadata too) but the actual implementation in KDE (at least as implemented on Tumbleweed) does seem to be lacking in smoothness, for want of a better word. So I am wondering how I can tweak it as per my two main points above. -- Mark Rousell -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] FF 68.6+ tweaks
by David C. Rankin 12 Apr '20

12 Apr '20

All, After updating a box to the 5.6.3 kernel, I decided to update FF from 60.8esr to 68.6esr. (yes, I know 68.7esr is out, one release back was intentional) As with any new version jump in FF, it took about 45 minutes to chase down and disable all the crapola I don't want or need. Hopefully this will save someone else the 45 minutes. This isn't new version related, but I don't want search suggestion cluttering up my search results, so set the following to `false` in about:config browser.search.suggest.enabled browser.urlbar.suggest.openpage I can't stand ads or other junk cluttering up the addons page trying to tell me what they think are good addons. If I need a feature, I'm smart enough to search for it myself. about:config set to `false` extensions.htmlaboutaddons.discover.enabled extensions.htmlaboutaddons.recommendations.enabled I don't want an mozilla firefox account and I don't want a dopey smiley face on my toolbar. about:config set to `false` identity.fxaccounts.enabled identity.fxaccounts.toolbar.enabled I do not want software that attempts to download and install a new version of itself and I don't need a 50M download waiting to be installed. Nor do I want a green up-arrow over the hamburger as a nag reminder. Only now, mozilla has taken away the ability to use about:config to disable automatic download of updates and mozilla took away the setting in preferences where you could tell firefox not to check for updates (annoying) Now you have to hack together a json file of policies which for 68.6 requires you create a 'distribution' directory in the firefox install location, e.g. for a mozilla tarball that is: /opt/firefox/distribution/policies.json (I'm not sure where that would be for the rpm -- Wolfgang?) The contents to disable updates and the green nag is: { "policies": { "AppAutoUpdate": false } } (which of course will need to be wrapped in the policies-template for 68.7...) Good news is after removing the cruft, firefox is just as good in this esr version as the last. -- David C.

[opensuse] how to not apply a patch
by Werner Flamme 08 Apr '20

08 Apr '20

Hi Folks, I have a question about zypper or libzypp. I found out that on SLES 15 SP1 the package openswan has been updated from 5.6.0 to 5.8.2 via patch:SUSE-SLE-Module-Basesystem-15-SP1-2020-743-1. That's bad because the update breaks my connection via IPsec to SAP. So I reverted to the old packages. The connection runs again. But how can I make sure that this patch is never applied again? I tried "zypper al 'strongsw*'". "zypper al" shows that, and "zypper up" does not show any package with "strongsw" at the beginning in the list of packages to be updated. That's OK. But "zypper patch" still annoys me by showing 2 "Solutions": No 1 being to remove the lock, No 2 "do not install patch:SUSE-SLE-Module-Basesystem-15-SP1-2020-743-1.noarch. So I used "zypper al" to add this patch. It shows with "zypper ll", but it is ignored, "zypper patch" still shows 2 solutions. Since there is a "zypper -n patch" running daily, and it exits with Errorlevel 4, I'd love to have a way so that this patch does not show up for "zypper patch", which works fine with "zypper up". "zypper patch" should see that there is a patch in the zypper lock list and should ignore this patch for its action. Can I get this to work?

[opensuse] Firefox
by Wolfgang Mueller 08 Apr '20

08 Apr '20

Until this morning I ran "Firefox 68.6.1esr (64-bit)" on openSuSE Leap 15.1. After a software update yesterday night performed by typing "zypper patch", all tabs appeared with this text: Gah. Your tab just crashed. We can help! ... (complete text at http://ariannuccia.de/images.tmp/tab_crashed.pdf) It did not help opening a new tab or trying a different URL. Whatever I tried to open, always the same nonsense described above appeared. So, I downloaded firefox-74.0.1.tar.bz2 to /opt, installed it by typing "tar xjvf firefox-74.0.1.tar.bz2" and replaced /usr/bin/firefox by a symbolic link to /opt/firefox/firefox. This was very simple and has the advantage that I can now run "Firefox 74.0.1 (64-bit)" instead of the prehistoric version 68.6.1esr supplied by openSuSE.

[opensuse] Konqeror with side bar available for testing
by Dave Plater 08 Apr '20

08 Apr '20

Hi, the KDE crowd, have produced a konqueror with the old side bar. I had to build it in my packman build service account to test it because atm openSUSE's home:plater/konqueror is firmly stuck. It works on Leap:15.1 and I'm sure it will work with my Tumbleweed laptop. When the build service unsticks itself you can find the finished product at: https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/plater/Leap_15.1 and https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/plater/Tumbleweed If you find any problems please cc davejplater(a)gmail.com as my visits to this list are infrequent nowadays. I'll find a suitable place to submit it to later. Best regards Dave P -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
