[opensuse] KDE+15.2+QEMU and tick border
by Frans de Boer 22 Sep '20

22 Sep '20

LS, I observed a difference between TW and 15.2 and using QEMU. While using TW, the QEMU window - running W10 - has no borders on the left and right side. So, I can use the full horizontal resolution. I can't use F11 - full screen - because of the behavior of screens when using Citrix Receiver as I still want to switch desktops. Then, when using 15.2 there are tick borders on the right and left side of the QEMU window. With 15.2 I have too selected top-left Menu -> More Actions -> No border, to reduce the mentioned borders a bid. There are still borders. I used the same script to start QEMU 5.1 under TW and 15.2, as well as the same W10 image . So, the only difference is the OS and used libraries. Being somewhat older on 15.2. And, yes I use breeze with no borders for applications. Any suggestion how to get rid of these real estate eating borders? --- Frans. -- A: Yes, just like that A: Ja, net zo Q: Oh, Just like reading a book backwards Q: Oh, net als een boek achterstevoren lezen A: Because it upsets the natural flow of a story A: Omdat het de natuurlijke gang uit het verhaal haalt Q: Why is top-posting annoying?

[opensuse] NVIDIA driver with no connected display
by Roger Oberholtzer 21 Sep '20

21 Sep '20

I have a couple systems on which I want to run some software that does GLX operations on images. These seem to rely on the X server having access to a GPU. Without this, they do their operations very very slowly. I have a very decent NVIDIA GPU (GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER) installed in all systems. In my own applications that are specifically compiled to use an NVIDIA GPU (no X server involved), all works great. nvidia-smi correctly shows that my application is using the GPU. The problem I am having with other applications (e.g., nona, a part of hugin) is that it seems that the NVIDIA driver is not loading. In this case, the system does not have a display attached. For my own apps that use the GPU direct, this is no problem. It uses libcuda only. No X. For the problem apps, since the nvdia driver is not loading, the X driver it falls back on does not do GPU. Is it a requirement for the nvidia proprietary drivers that a display be connected? I have googled this, but all discussions are about connected displays not being found or used. This is on Leap 15.1 and NVIDIA 440.82 drivers. If a display is required, could it perhaps be defined in a config file so the nvidia driver loads? We have a cluster of computers like this and we do not want to hook up a display just for this. -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Unable to delete LVM partition
by Aaron Digulla 20 Sep '20

20 Sep '20

Hi, I've created a Dropbox partition some time ago to when Dropbox stopped supporting BTRFS. I'm now trying to delete the partition using YAST but I get an error: ----- command '/sbin/wipefs --all '/dev/system/dropbox'' failed: stderr: wipefs: error: /dev/system/dropbox: probing initialization failed: Device or resource busy exit code: 1 ----- lsof -n | grep dropbox as root returns nothing. Google found some sources saying that udev locks the device node. Shouldn't lsof report that? How do I unlock the device? I tried "udevadm settle" but that didn't help.

[opensuse] aspell - myspell - hunspell
by Stakanov 20 Sep '20

20 Sep '20

So, for what I found out: aspell is the historical program. On which built myspell and finally on which bases hunspell. Hunspell should be compatible with libreoffice. Myspell strangely is required for kmail orthografic korrektor (why did they not use hunspell?). Why are there the three, another reason? And then: what is the secret reason (which an irritated German user did raise argument with me, and another one did in the German list in 2018 apparently) that aspell is available in all languages but since 42.3 is missing German. But only in Leap while it is there in TW. Which is curious for a distribution done in Nurimberg. Isn't it? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Incompatibility between Rufus and our Live ISOs
by Dario Faggioli 20 Sep '20

20 Sep '20

Hello, So, here it is what happened to me earlier today. Someone from the local LUG sent a message about him wanting to try Tumbleweed. He downloaded the live ISO, but it was not booting. Errors were some "dracut timeouts" and then the usual "problems-problems- problems, give CTRL-D for maintenance etc". He took the ISO from here: https://software.opensuse.org/distributions/tumbleweed I did some checks and tests, but could not help him much. Later, he came back announcing success in booting into the Live OS. Turns out, he used some Windows tool called "Rufus" for putting the ISO on an USB key. And, apparently, this tool has an history of being potentially (I think it depends on the options) doing stuff that makes our ISOs non-bootable. My friend claims to have just used the said tool, with the default set of options. This how he found out about the incompatibility: https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/529966-Usb-tumbleweed-does-not-g… Now, I had no idea such tool even existed, and I am not at all suggesting that we change anything in our ISOs because of it. It apparently is a quite famous image writing tool for Windows, and live ISOs of other distros apparently work well with it, but let's live this aside for now. In that forum thread, at some point there is this: "I think the openSUSE Live deserve a better explanation page, check for example the similar page for CentOS which warns users about this problem: https://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/InstallFromUSBkey " That page has a list of tools that can be used for "burning" images that work. The Fedora equivalent page is also pretty nice, and has the same information, right upfront: https://getfedora.org/en/workstation/download/ I think we should have something similar in our one.

(comment, not a question) Hi, A friend's new laptop, a Lenovo E15.

It simply can not take a full load for half an hour, overheats, and reduces the CPU clock to cope. I did put it over a fan platform, no much difference. Maybe more expensive machines cope better. I could feel the case was hot, near the display hinge. No, I'm not asking for help, the machine is as it is. :-) Just remembering Jdd and his hot laptop :-) Luckily the owner will just be doing email and office things. -- Cheers Carlos E. R.

[opensuse] No borders on windows - KDE on 15.2
by James Knott 19 Sep '20

19 Sep '20

One thing I've noticed since updating to 15.2 is there doesn't seem to be anything to mark the edge of a window, so that if the background of one is the same colour as another, to can't see where one ends and the other starts. Is this some sort of new "feature"? If so, it's extremely annoying. For example, I currently have a Seamonkey email window open over a Chromium web page, both with a white background. The only way I can tell where one or the other is, is to see where the Chromium text ends, covered up by the Seamonkey window. tnx jk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
