OpenSuse 15.2 ports closed, no firewall enabled
by Joseph Acquisto 11 Jan '22

11 Jan '22

On OpenSuse 15.2, the assigned IP address has only SSH port open. The localhost has several more open, which allows me to run mail server, by referencing localhost. However, this causes other machines on local network to be denied access to the email server. Firewall is not enabled, iptables shows no rules. I am puzzled.

Firewall is not enabled, iptables shows no rules. I am puzzled. Are you running postfix as your mail server? If so, what does "postconf inet_interfaces" say? If it says "localhost", you need to edit it to say "all" and restart. Sorry, that was too telegraphic; you need to add inet_interfaces = all to /etc/postfix/main.cf and restart. -- Bob Rogers http://www.rgrjr.com/

by David C. Rankin 11 Jan '22

All, Since my Suddenlink ISP is to incompetent to find the problem that is blocking receipt of opensuse list e-mails, I've subscribed through my gmail address -- so I will now get list mails. (Thank you Carlos for letting me know that was an option. Patrick, you can cancel the forward to the suddenlink account - thank you VERY much for your help with the list mails during the past year) What is the world coming too.... Never let foreign investors by a controlling stake in your ISP -- no thank you Patrick Drahi... -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Audacity error: FFmpeg library not found (Leap 15.3)
by gumb 10 Jan '22

10 Jan '22

I only recently upgraded from 15.2 to 15.3. On first opening Audacity (from the Main repository) I get a dialog saying FFmpeg library not found, and to go to Preferences -> Libraries to sort it out. When I go there I see it's looking for libavformat.so.58 which I already have installed. According to YaST I have libavformat58_76 from Packman, but I can't direct Audacity to anywhere that it will see it. The adjoining Download button is useless, it just tells me I don't have the help manual installed, which is nonsensical at best. There was no such problem under Leap 15.2. gumb

size of firefox sqlite database files
by Istvan Gabor 09 Jan '22

09 Jan '22

Hello: Currently I use firefox 91.4.1esr in openSUSE 15.3. I noticed that in the profile directory the size of some sqlite database files does not change after deleting history. Namely, places.sqlite, favicons.sqlite, cookies.sqlite files' size remains the same after deleting history. Why don't the file sizes decrease after deleting their content by deleting history? I have many profiles and want to decrease the profiles' size. I thought bu deleting history I can do it but not. Can someone explain this? Thanks, Istvan

KDE Connect - Too many notifications.
by James Knott 09 Jan '22

09 Jan '22

A couple of months ago, I got a new Google Pixel 6 phone. Since then, I've been getting an excessive amount of email notifications from KDE Connect on my computer. Sometimes I have a stack of them reaching almost the top of my screen. I have checked both the phone and computer KDE Connect settings and I can't see anything that would cause this. Is there any way to stop all these notifications, short of uninstalling KDE Connect? KDE on Leap 15.3 Previously used a Pixel 2. tnx jk

how could this happen? accidental mass file deletion
by Daniel Bauer 08 Jan '22

08 Jan '22

Hi, I am with OS 15.2/KDE and a very strange thing happened to me: all files (not the sub-folders, but the files in them) of my desktop folder were deleted without that I know why... what I did (in case it gives a hint) : Started SimpleScreenRecorder to record the complete screen in an mp4 in the desktop folder (this file vanished also). I paused/continued the screen recorder several times. Started Win10 in Virtual-Box, did some photo editing, shut down Win10, and when I saw my desktop again there were no icons, only some folders. I got aware of heavy disk use and shut down the computer. After booting again I saw that all files (several hundreds) in this folder and its subfolders were gone, but not the folders themselves. It only affected the Desktop folder and its subfolders, no others as much as I can see. To do this deliberately I would have to enter an rm with options, but I didn't... I know that during this session my mouse began to be defective, a right click produced a double-click, but that shouldn't be able to produce such a command, isn't it? Is there a way I can find out what happened exactly? Search (for what?) in what log? It seems mysterious to me and disquiets me although since then everything seems to work normally. (Luckily I am a back-up-freak, so no damage, but still...) (the desktop folder isn't shared with windows, the shared folder is on another partition and wasn't affected) Any thoughts?

[oS-en] Anchor image to page in LO disapeared?
by Carlos E. R. 07 Jan '22

07 Jan '22

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I'm creating a Write document in libre office, one I do often, which worked a month ago. Tonight, there is a feature that is gone. I'm simply inserted images from another application (same as I do every month, from Foxit), and anchor to page is gone. I can anchor "to paragraph", "as character", and "to character". But "to page" is gone. Is this known? Feature? Bug? This is LO 7.1.4.2, on Leap 15.2. - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.

backup of root
by jdd＠dodin.org 07 Jan '22

07 Jan '22

Hello, I use for some years a rsync line in cron to make a backup from a server to an other server. btrfs on source, ext4 on target. Right now I have to be run from root on the receiving part # rsync -azv -e ssh -x --exclude=/tmp --exclude=*cache* --exclude=*.Trash* --exclude=/sys --exclude=/proc --exclude=/dev --delete root@<source domain>:/* <local folder> I checked that -x do *not* exclude /proc. But it may be also useful to exclude /run? isn't this one dynamic (ie removed at boot time). I don't remember also is proc, sys, dev a recreated at boot, no need to make them by hand at restore time? thanks jdd -- http://dodin.org http://valeriedodin.com

puleaudio testing microphone GUI
by Istvan Gabor 07 Jan '22

07 Jan '22

Hello: I would like to test my microphone in pulseaudio. All info I found say that I have to load manually the loopback module in a terminal to hear the microphone, and after testing unload the module. Isn't there a GUI tool which has button for testing/hearing the microphone? I don't even understand why this option is not part of pavucontrol of some other pulseaudio GUI program. Thanks, Istvan
