Samsung Flip5 no USB Tethering
by Ben T. Fender 04 Dec '23

I tried this on Tumbleweed, it may or may not be a Suse or`even a Linux issue. For USB tethering there is a switch to turn ON, once ON the comnputer is supposed to recognize it and net browsing may begin (the way I understand it no other action being required). I don't know if NetworkManager would show the usb cable or what? It shows nothing, and there is NO internet given to the computer (wifi hotspotting DOES work). However, when I next turn the USB Thethering switch OFF then I get a popup asking if I want to allow the phone to share data with the computer. Clicking yes opens a file manager & data transfer becomes possible. The first procedure is documented but doesn't work, the second one isn't but does. Any ideas?

Firefox opens pdf files differently depending on pdf version

Hi, on one of my Tumbleweed machines Firefox opens pdf files differently depending on pdf version: - PDF document, version 1.4 opens in ocular - PDF document, version 1.6 (zip deflate encoded) opens in gvim I didn't find any file, where gVim is associated with any pdf mime type. Any idea how to get Firefox to open all pdf files in ocular? TIA. Bye. Michael.

how to clear dolphin password after failed sftp login?
by Daniel Bauer 04 Dec '23

04 Dec '23

Good morning! I use dolphin to manage my files on my web-server and connect with sftp://... Then (only the first time after boot) a dialog appears to enter my password. Dolphin remembers the password until I reboot my machine and when ever I go to that sftp://user@url again I don't have to enter the password again. So far perfect. The problem occurs when I enter a wrong password. Then dolphin shows a red line "connection failed", but there is no way (...I found no way...) to make dolphin show me the password dialog again to enter the correct password. Even worse: it seems that dolphin tries several times with the wrong password, so many times, that my server blocks the ssh login for some hours. I tried to log out/log in here on the local machine, but dolphin still tries with that wrong password. It seems I'd have to shutdown and boot again so that dolphin forgets. How can I clear dolphins password memory so that it shows me the password dialog again, without rebooting? Can you help me?

Hi *, for some time now Recent Files / Applications in the Application Menu are not updated any longer. The appropriate desktop files exist in ./.local/share/RecentDocuments, but Recent Files in the menu stays empty. Workspace -> Recent Files is set to "Keep history: Forever" and "For all applications". Latest Tumbleweed Snapshot. Any idea? TIA. Bye. Michael.
