[oS-EN] Question on full disk encription
by Carlos E. R. 02 Sep '23

02 Sep '23

Hi, new laptop here, and I decided to install Leap 15.4 with full disk encryption, no LVM (a feature I wanted to have for years, so I'm happy). It asks for the password twice (contrary to my customs, I'm using plymouth). It asks once before grub loads. Well, ok, there is no separate /boot, so it has to read "/" which is encrypted. Nice. But after selecting the boot entry in grub, it asks again. Once, despite being 3 partitions ("/", "/boot" and swap). Ok. Is there some way to make it ask only once? I guess not, but perhaps I'm wrong. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from Elesar, using openSUSE Leap 15.4)

[oS-EN] I found out a new trick on Thunderbird
by Carlos E. R. 01 Sep '23

01 Sep '23

Hi, I get a bunch of commercial email that pollutes one of my inboxes, as does everybody. I found a new trick: Create a filter that matches on the From address and "age > 3 days", with an action that can be delete, but I simply move to a folder in the same imap server, so that the mail is still accessible in any of my computers. I'm happy :-) I could also use this age trick to purge/archive the mail list folder, after 90 days. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from openSUSE 15.5 (Laicolasse))

thunderbird html.part on desktop
by Simon Becherer 31 Aug '23

31 Aug '23

Hi, because here is some diskussion about thunderbird, i have also a thunderbird question: since about end of last year tumbleweed update, i notice, if i move an attachment from one mail to another SOMETIMES i see for a short time on my desktop something like: qegbhjj.html.part. on my machine it's automatically removed. on another machine, i did not personally use, from thunderbird, or maybe from firefox after a day of work one or two of this files are still on the desktop. so my question is, did anybody know why this happens and where i could switch the behavior to do the temporary file not on desktop, better place would be tmp file directory? simoN -- www.becherer.de

problem with seamonkey on 15.5
by Daniel Bauer 31 Aug '23

31 Aug '23

Hi, I upgraded successfully from 15.3 (via 15.4) to 15.5 - thanks for the input in the other thread! It went easy and it seems it worked :-) There is a little problem with seamonkey. On a radio page it crashes with /usr/bin/seamonkey: Zeile 140: 18389 Speicherzugriffsfehler (Speicherabzug geschrieben) $MOZ_PROGRAM "$@" Other pages seem to work. It is the page https://www.srf.ch/audio/radio-srf-3-live-hoeren that causes this crash. This page works in firefox, and it worked before in seamonkey on OS 15.3. Is there something I can do to make this page work again in seamonkey? -- Daniel Bauer photographer Basel Málaga Twitter: @Marsfotografo (often explicit nudes) https://www.patreon.com/danielbauer https://www.daniel-bauer.com (nudes)

NAS with a USB interface?
by Lew Wolfgang 29 Aug '23

29 Aug '23

Hi Folks, I've got an odd requirement that would be satisfied if I could find a NAS device that supported TCP/IP connections over a regular Ethernet port while also offering a USB connection to make the NAS appear as a USB external disk. So multiple computers on the Ethernet side would load up files on the NAS which would be available to a USB-connected computer where it could pull the files off. I've googled a bit and it seems that many people think this won't work, but I'm looking at a QNAP NAS that looks like it might. https://files.qnap.com/news/pressresource/datasheet/TS-x51A_P8_(EN)_51000-0… Any thoughts/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. If I can pull this off I'll be the hero at work. Regards, Lew

Yast: packman repo constraint is volatile :-(
by bent fender 29 Aug '23

29 Aug '23

I set in Yast-Software-Repositories "Switch system packages to the versions in this repository (Packman Repository)" Once the ritual is complete the link changes to "Cancel switching..." Fine, but a few upgrades later the constraint is GONE and the first annunciation is back again. This certainly isn't what one would expect, as opposed to an alert to anything that wants to change the constraint or better yet an automatic and total denial of same (consistent with user intent!).

mouse bouncing
by jdd＠dodin.org 29 Aug '23

29 Aug '23

Hello, Tumbleweed, kde up to date My mouse is bouncing very often, that is when I click, it issues a double click. Very annoying when I delete a mail in thunderbird, for example, but also in taskbar when I want to open an application in an other desktop it opens then close immediately. I don't find a way to setup a delay between two clicks (no repeat option) on plasma/kde config panel any idea? thanks jdd -- c'est quoi, usenet? http://www.dodin.org/wiki/pmwiki.php?n=Usenet.Usenet

Anybody use ssh_agent integration in keepassxc -- if so, Why?
by David C. Rankin 29 Aug '23

29 Aug '23

All, With the goofball 2FA the evil-empire is imposing on github, I have to actually commit to using keepassxc instead of my old favorite. In keepassxc, there is both browser and ssh_agent integration. Browser integration is easy enough to understand, keepassxc is simply used as the backend for password storage and the browser stores and retrieves passwords from an unlocked keepassxc instance. But what does ssh_agent integration do that ssh_agent doesn't already do? That's where I'm confused. ssh_agent is happily running and doing its job on Leap -- what does enabling integration in keepassxc buy you? https://keepassxc.org/docs/KeePassXC_UserGuide#_setting_up_ssh_agent_integr… doesn't really explain any benefit you gain other than having the key names in keepassxc.... Ummm... So what? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Why are packman package names not consistent?
by David C. Rankin 29 Aug '23

29 Aug '23

All, Doing maintenance on the Leap 154 --keep files from packman, duplicate removal is almost impossible as the file naming convention for packman rpms is all over the place. For example, in the past year I have filenames of: pdftk-3.3.2-pm154.10.4.noarch.rpm pdftk-3.3.3-150400.10.pm.6.noarch.rpm pdftk-3.3.3-pm150400.10.4.noarch.rpm pdftk-3.3.3-pm154.10.2.noarch.rpm Where pdftk-3.3.3-150400.10.pm.6.noarch.rpm is the current. However, trying to either sort, or iterate in awk is impossible with some filenames containing "pm154" some just containing "150400" and still others containing "pm150400". That before we get to some with ".pm." and others not. How do you handle parsing duplicates from filenames such as this? also Will the ".. 150400.10.pm.X .." filenames be consistent going forward? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

automatically adjust repositories for update 15.3 -> 15.5?
by Daniel Bauer 28 Aug '23

28 Aug '23

I want to update my main machine from 15.3 to 15.5 without a new install. As much as I know it is easy: - change the 15.3 repositories to 15.4 repos - run zypper dup - change 15.4 repos to 15.5 repos - run zypper dup That's it. Am I right? Is there am automatic way to change all repos from one version to a new one, so that I don't have to search for all of them and do it manually? Have a nice day!
