Leap 15.3 - binutils - imake clash
by Mark Hounschell 10 Nov '21

10 Nov '21

Not sure what update did it but I am getting an imake failure trying to compile something that used to compile. rm -f librmh.a ar clq librmh.a rmh.o ar: libdeps specified more than once I've researched it and supposedly this is fixed in imake 1.0.8. Leap is running imake 1.0.7. Any chance of imake getting updated. Surely I don't need to submit an epr for a problem that has already been fixed. Regards Mark

TW Logs of Importance
by James Pain 09 Nov '21

09 Nov '21

Howdy, all. TLDR; what log files are important when troubleshooting an issue in TW. I'm investigating an openSUSE TW KDE machine that's locking up daily while idle. Screen frozen, keyboard lights not responding, can only force off by holding power button. Even the instant reset button on the case doesn't work. Systemd journal has seemingly nothing of significance. In a hunt to find other logs, I found in the docs a list of log files [0]. However /var/log/warn doesn't seem to exist in TW, and the others don't seem relevant, so I'm continuing a search. If there was a similar page to the Leap logs page [0] for TW, maybe on the wiki, that's be useful. Maybe I can make one with the results of this thread. Thank you in advance.

Kate: Setting font size for printing
by Frans de Boer 09 Nov '21

09 Nov '21

LS, In the past it was possible to set the font and size for printing when using the Kate editor. Nowadays I have to copy a RO template, but you can't specify the font or it's size to be used for printing. Current, I have the font size for the editor set at 8 pt, because that is the size I want to print. For editing I have to increase the font (Ctrl-+) for every document manually to make it readable at all. Is there a better way to have the two different font sizes by default? Regards, 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? Q: Waarom is Top-posting zo irritant?

NAS Recommendations
by Paul Groves 08 Nov '21

08 Nov '21

Hi all. I am looking for some recommendation for a NAS. To be used to store backups of my three home servers as I am fed up rotating LTO tapes every week and would prefer to perhaps do quarterly tape backups and nightly incremental NAS backups. I have an old Buffalo TerraStation however it is pretty terrible using it with Linux and only really works wind SMB of AFP shares reliably. I have looked at building a FreeNAS unit as I have used Freenas extensively in my previous jobs. Perhaps if anyone knows of a good dual NIC ITX board available now? Alternatively I have heard QNAP are guite good? Anyone care to weigh in with their experiences? Thanks

36 GiB of photographs
by Douglas McGarrett 05 Nov '21

05 Nov '21

Sorry about the slip of the fingers. The correct number is approximately 36 GiB of photos. How to email that pile of pictures, hopefully in one big email to one address, for an insurance claim. I assume the receiver will have only Windows to view them. Thanx for the advice.

concatenating PDFs ?
by Per Jessen 04 Nov '21

04 Nov '21

I sometimes have the need or desire to turn a bunch of individual PDFs into one, easier for printing and archiving. By hand, I most often do this with Imagemagick 'convert', but when I tried just this morning, Leap 15.2 - convert 001610523-2020-*-statement.pdf klop.pdf convert: not authorized `001610523-2020-01-statement.pdf' @ error/constitute.c/ReadImage/428. convert: not authorized `001610523-2020-02-statement.pdf' @ error/constitute.c/ReadImage/428. convert: not authorized `001610523-2020-03-statement.pdf' @ error/constitute.c/ReadImage/428. convert: not authorized `001610523-2020-04-statement.pdf' @ error/constitute.c/ReadImage/428. convert: not authorized `001610523-2020-05-statement.pdf' @ error/constitute.c/ReadImage/428. convert: not authorized `001610523-2020-06-statement.pdf' @ error/constitute.c/ReadImage/428. convert: not authorized `001610523-2020-07-statement.pdf' @ error/constitute.c/ReadImage/428. convert: not authorized `001610523-2020-08-statement.pdf' @ error/constitute.c/ReadImage/428. convert: not authorized `001610523-2020-09-statement.pdf' @ error/constitute.c/ReadImage/428. convert: not authorized `001610523-2020-10-statement.pdf' @ error/constitute.c/ReadImage/428. convert: not authorized `001610523-2020-11-statement.pdf' @ error/constitute.c/ReadImage/428. convert: no images defined `klop.pdf' @ error/convert.c/ConvertImageCommand/3275. I changed to ghostscript instead, worked a treat: gs -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOUTPUTFILE=001610523-2020-statement.pdf -dBATCH 001610523-2020-*-statement.pdf I guess something changed with Imagemagick ? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (9.7°C)

firefox scrollbar
by Istvan Gabor 03 Nov '21

03 Nov '21

Hello: The scrollbars' properties (color, background color, width) are really important things in scrollable windows, normally they are controlled by the window theme. I've recently installed firefox 91.2.0esr and its scroll bars are not like the used theme's scrollbar. They are hard to see, changing color depending on visited site and so thin that it is hard to move the cursor over them. I guess this is a new firefox "improvement", because the previous firefox esr (78) uses the theme's scrollbar. Is there a way to make firefox use the theme defined scrollbars? Thanks, Istvan
