R.I.P. Leap 15.4 - It was a Great One
by David C. Rankin 07 Dec '23

07 Dec '23

All, With Marcus's message on the announce list, support for 15.4 has come to an end (at least the openssl3 fix made it in today). It has been another great openSUSE release. It will join SUSE 7.0, 8.0. 8.2 and 9.0 Pro, 10.0 10.3, openSUSE 11.0, 11.4 and then the Leap(s). Looking forward to 15.5 and 15.6! -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

KDE help from a practical time
by David C. Rankin 07 Dec '23

07 Dec '23

All, To celebrate the list working again, I'll pass along something that brought a smile to my face a bit ago. I was looking at help for kcalc, and I noticed a entry for long-double precision and clicked it: https://paste.opensuse.org/pastes/b1300d1770a4 Remember when user-choice and customization was the touchstone of Linux? Back when the help pages told you about defines to tailor the app to your needs and then a simple: ./configure make make install The good ole days.... :) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Bring back the magic
by Ben T. Fender 05 Dec '23

05 Dec '23

Thanks to the David C.R. post about KDE help from a 'practical' time, and without wanting to dilute THAT article, I decided to test my luck betting on significant KDE seniority lurking here in the shadows. If anyone remembers the NAME of that once great little KDE utility, it would help someone else maybe interested in resurrecting it. My memory is still as sharp as a razor blade but it ain't much wider than it's edge. https://discuss.kde.org/t/bring-back-the-magic-cascading-menu-quick-access-… Any info that helps to track it down might help. I started with Suse 4.xy and KDE was also in those lows, this utility came a ltt;le later, maybe in the 6's or 7's. TIA -- Sooner than later all the Co2 reduction just causes gas to hit $100/liter and food production to become limited to weed-killer resistant GMO seeds; whoopie hsit... h'rrah for EXXON & MONSANTO or WTF.

15.5
by Fred 05 Dec '23

05 Dec '23

I am back in the fold. With this laptop. I had installed Netrunner 21.01 on it about a year ago and everything just worked. Awesome, never had that happen before so I kept it. Fast forward to Saturday and I decided to install v.23 and get some newer software. Bad idea. It didn't pick up the wifi, which made it careen into the ditch. After trying several times to get it to work, I installed OS 15.5 and it just worked. Everything seems to be working so far except for the %$#@! system going into screensaver after a period of time ( 5 mins, I think). I have not been able to find the setting and it is about on my last nerve. Other than that, it is a full blown desktop running on this I7-8550 hardware with 256GB SSD and 16GB ram. So far, so good.

Dell N5110 shutting off
by Carl Spitzer {L Juno} 05 Dec '23

05 Dec '23

With fully updated OpenSuSE 15.5 I an having problems with my system shutting itself off suddenly in the middle of simple broswer tasks regardless of Rirefox, opera or Seamonkey or the program manager used MATE or TDE. It used to be just one site appearing to overwork the system now even gmail triggers the shut off. CWSIV

[oS-EN] Unreadable colours when using mc in konsole
by Carlos E. R. 05 Dec '23

05 Dec '23

Hi, See the photo: https://paste.opensuse.org/pastes/040273b5b4dc The colours of mc in konsole render the text invisible, depending on the file type. You can see that the same directories in xterm are perfectly visible. Are there any konsole settings to correct the situation? -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from openSUSE 15.5 (Laicolasse))

Leap 15.5 KDE - Shaky video
by James Knott 04 Dec '23

04 Dec '23

I did a fresh install of 15.5 on my computer a few days ago and since then I've noticed something strange with some YouTube videos. The people in the video sometimes appear to "shake". I have never seen anything like this before. This is on a Gigabyte H77M-DH3 motherboard, with built in video. Any ideas? BTW, didn't there used to be something in Yast that displayed hardware info? I was planning on using it to provide more info about my system.

[oS-EN] I have finished with KDE/Plasma/X11
by Carlos E. R. 04 Dec '23

04 Dec '23

Hi, My testing of KDE/Plasma/X11 has been terminated. I noticed some weird behaviour. Firefox not loading a page, then ctrl-alt-tab displaying a black rectangle, and finally, KDE stopped reacting to mouse and keyboard. The mouse moved, but I could do nothing with it. I had to ctrl-alt-backspace it. And this has happened twice. After some days with the same session, it dies. I can not work with this, so I'm back to XFCE. I really did like some of KDE features, but not at this price. I'm sorry. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from openSUSE 15.5 (Laicolasse))
