Using non-default Bluetooth Codecs
by Rui Santos 19 Sep '23

19 Sep '23

Hi all, I'm using openSUSE 15.5 (KDE) along with some bluetooth headphones. From what I could see, only the default SBC is used as an A2DP audio codec, despite the headset supporting more codecs. Please check the following (trimmed) output: ~ # pactl list Sink #2 State: RUNNING Description: WH-1000XM5 Driver: module-bluez5-device.c Sample Specification: s16le 2ch 44100Hz Owner Module: 25 Latency: 60263 usec, configured 45317 usec Flags: HARDWARE HW_VOLUME_CTRL LATENCY Properties: bluetooth.protocol = "a2dp_sink" bluetooth.codec = "sbc" device.description = "WH-1000XM5" device.api = "bluez" device.class = "sound" device.bus = "bluetooth" device.form_factor = "headset" bluez.class = "0x240404" bluez.alias = "WH-1000XM5" device.intended_roles = "phone" Porto: headset-output: Headset (type: Headset, priority: 0, available) ~ # avinfo XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX Connecting ... Stream End-Point #1: Audio Sink Media Codec: SBC Channel Modes: Mono DualChannel Stereo JointStereo Frequencies: 44.1Khz 48Khz Subbands: 4 8 Blocks: 4 8 12 16 Bitpool Range: 2-53 Content Protection: SCMS-T Stream End-Point #2: Audio Sink Media Codec: MPEG24 Object Types: MPEG-2 AAC LC Frequencies: 44.1kHz 48kHz Channels: 1 2 Bitrate: 320000 VBR: Yes Content Protection: SCMS-T Stream End-Point #3: Audio Sink Media Codec: Vendor Specific A2DP Codec Vendor ID 0x0000012d Vendor Specific Codec ID 0x00aa Vendor Specific Data: 0x3c 0x07 Vendor Specific Value (LDAC) Frequencies: 44.1kHz 48kHz 88.2kHz 96kHz Channel modes: Mono Dual Stereo Content Protection: SCMS-T Now, despite these headphones not supporting any of the aptX codecs, it would be a nice option to be able to at least enjoy one of the other codecs, namely LDAC, but AAC would be a welcomed addition too, and likely preferable in many situations too... It's been quite some time since I've dug this, just to remember that BT Profiles/Codecs are not a straightforward subject. Despite this, I was quite surprised that it is substantially better than a few years ago. In addition to the codecs, there's also the sound stack bluez/pulseaudio/pipewire/more (?) options... Then there's the plugins/bt_modules/more (?), I can see that I do have some bt modules on pipewire: ~ # rpm -ql pipewire-spa-plugins-0_2 | grep bluez /usr/lib64/spa-0.2/bluez5 /usr/lib64/spa-0.2/bluez5/libspa-bluez5.so /usr/lib64/spa-0.2/bluez5/libspa-codec-bluez5-aac.so /usr/lib64/spa-0.2/bluez5/libspa-codec-bluez5-faststream.so /usr/lib64/spa-0.2/bluez5/libspa-codec-bluez5-ldac.so /usr/lib64/spa-0.2/bluez5/libspa-codec-bluez5-opus.so /usr/lib64/spa-0.2/bluez5/libspa-codec-bluez5-sbc.so /usr/share/spa-0.2/bluez5 /usr/share/spa-0.2/bluez5/bluez-hardware.conf Now, for the real question(s): How can I make use of any other code with openSUSE 15.5 and KDE? Some maybe useful data: - openSUSE Leap 15.5 upstream, fully updated - This install is an upgrade from several Leap's before 15.5, hopefully done right (I've tried this on different versions too) Also maybe I have an unsupported combination of all this?! I really can't tell at this time! Feel free to also direct me to reading materials as I'll gladly go through them. Also feel free to ask for more information on my system if you believe it's relevant. Thank you all for your help! Regards, -- Rui Santos Veni, Vidi, Linux

Who has its own domain name and has an email server without the available security measures?
by Freek de Kruijf 12 Sep '23

12 Sep '23

Hi, I am trying to collect some data about the use of security measures used in an email server in your home or with a provider where you do your own configuration. Apart from doing malware checking on incoming messages, there are more measures you can take to protect the email with your own email server. The first measure is SPF checking, which means that you check that an incoming email really comes from the server it should come from. The owner of that server entered a so-called SPF TXT record in the DNS to indicate which server(s) are allowed to send messages with that domain name in the From address. You can do the same by having such a TXT record in the DNS with your domain. Obviously you rely on others to check this SPF TXT record. There might come some time that email that cannot be checked this way will be refused or at least goes into the spam folder. A second measure is DKIM checking and signing. When you inspect message from gmail.com you will see that these messages contain a DKIM signatures. The measure you take is that you check if the incoming signed message is really coming with a proper signature and is not tampered with (the content, including headers, is signed). But you can do the same. You can sign outgoing message with your DKIM signature. This means that you sign your messages with your private key and the public key is in the DNS of your domain. Signing messages this way makes it more likely that your messages are accepted. I did receive returned messages because they did not have a DKIM signature or could not be checked using SPF. The third measure is DMARC. This also twofold, checking and providing a DMARC TXT record in the DNS of your domain. A DMARC record indicates what receiving servers should do with SPF and DKIM checks. So you have some control over what will be done when checks fail or partly fail (when the From-address contains a subdomain of your domain). Please indicate whether you are interested in a script to implement these measures. -- fr.gr. member openSUSE Freek de Kruijf

imagemagick: I/O error : buffer full - what does this mean?
by Daniel Bauer 12 Sep '23

12 Sep '23

Hi, since my upgrade to OS 15.5, when running a command line job for imagemagick I get I/O error : buffer full The task is finished anyway, as much as I can see, perfect. But on 15.3 I have never seen this message and I wonder what it could mean and how, if so, I could avoid it. Thanks for hints!

Does a python2-matplotlib exist anywhere for Leap 15.4?
by David C. Rankin 12 Sep '23

12 Sep '23

All, I have a need for python2 matplotlib. Does it exist anywhere? I can't find it on software.opensuse.org (I can for SLE). While I have it for python3, I have several old (long) python2 scripts I'd rather not have to update, but would like to compare output from. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

LEAP AArch64 ISO images won't boot on Apple Silicon running VMWare Fusion
by Simon Connah 11 Sep '23

11 Sep '23

I've just downloaded the full LEAP ISO as well as the network ISO and neither of them will boot on a Mac Studio running VMWare Fusion Pro. The error message says that x86_64 is required. I have no idea why this is happening as I have just installed Fedora 38 (AArch64) in exactly the same way and everything was fine. Any ideas what might be happening?
