pulseaudio equalizer has no effect
by Daniel Bauer 09 Sep '23

09 Sep '23

Hi, since I upgraded on OS 15.5 pulseaudio equalizer has a different user interface, and unfortunately has no effect anymore. I can change all sliders, click the on/off button... no matter what I do, it has absolutely no effect. What could be the reason? Or is there another equalizer that works? (I often listen to a radio station that obviously has a bass fetish that makes my loudspeakers vibrate on the table, and since years I used pulseaudio equalizer up to OS 15.3 to normalize that radio sound...)

keepassxc - is there a free mobile app for IOS/Android that has same capability?
by David C. Rankin 06 Sep '23

06 Sep '23

All, One distinct downside to moving to keepassxc is there is no mobile app for it. For the old keepassx version, there were a number of free apps that would do the same thing. On the keepassxc site they recommend strongbox or keepassium for IOS as substitutes -- but there is a rub -- the free versions are not full-featured. Are there any compatible IOS apps that are available and are not a stripped-free/paid-full version offering? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[oS-en] Trick for finding hp networked printers

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 On firewall-config, open services mDNS and slp on the services tab. But also open port 5353/udp on source ports. The last one did the trick for discovery. On yaST, hplip, Use advanced, then change discovery method to not the default SLP, but avahi or bonjour. - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.

zypper bash completion broke in 1.14.63
by Michael Andres 05 Sep '23

05 Sep '23

JFYI: The bash completion script was moved from /etc/bash_completion.d/zypper.sh to /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/zypper.sh But it also needs to be renamed to plain 'zypper' at the new location. Workaround: cd /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/ mv zypper.sh zypper Fixed in 1.14.64 -- cu, Michael Andres +------------------------------------------------------------------+ Key fingerprint = 2DFA 5D73 18B1 E7EF A862 27AC 3FB8 9E3A 27C6 B0E4 +------------------------------------------------------------------+ Michael Andres (he/him/his), Engineering & Innovation, ma(a)suse.com +------------------------------------------------------------------+ SUSE Software Solutions Germany GmbH www.suse.com Frankenstr. 146, 90461 Nuernberg, Germany Geschäftsführer: Ivo Totev, Andrew McDonald, Werner Knoblich (HRB 36809, AG Nürnberg) +------------------------------------------------------------------+

2FA - Tools that work if you unfortunately need to use them
by David C. Rankin 05 Sep '23

05 Sep '23

All, Github is forcing 2FA (two factor authentication) beginning Oct 12 for accounts that make contributions to other repositories or otherwise contribute. Why a goofy algorithm from my computer is better than my 2048 byte RSA key doesn't make much sense. (though likely a way to dupe users into providing a mobile phone number that can be monetized) If you find yourself having to come up with 2FA codes, then there are a few apps that do it without involving your phone. Commandline: The "oath-toolkit" package provides the oathtool command line utility to generate the timed one time passwords given the secret key you are assigned from the site: $ oathtool --totp --base32 KEY (the options needed depend on the key format) where KEY is the secret key you were given. If you have a number of sites, you can create a short script to read the key from a file which is fairly convenient. With a little thought you can have the function accept a filename or key. GUI App: keepassxc has a totp function and allows assigning the secret key to each entry in your password database. (rather odd interface done though the context menu - Right-click -> TOTP -> Set up TOTP, add your key, then you can open a window to see the timed one time password to use) After you configure it, you can just double-click the little timer icon next to the entry to copy to the clipboard (nice touch, somebody had their thinking cap on...) Phone: It kills me, but the google-authenticator is about a well recommended as anything else. You can use it without a google-account. Just add your key and it spits out the timed one time password. Summary: Another solution just looking for a problem to solve, but at least there are tools to combat the latest unwanted "feature" of the web. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[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)

bluetooth audio only connects after several tries
by Markus Feilner 01 Sep '23

01 Sep '23

Hi there, am I the only one with problems getting bluetooth to work in a 1:1 setup? My Ryzen 7 machine should always autoconnect on boot to its dedicated stereo. Both turn on at the same time, no other machine connects to the BT reciever I am running Tumbleweed with KDE, plasma and pulseaudio 16.1 on a kernel 6.4.11-1-default, the CPU is an AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5850U Here's a script that I have to run - sometimes several times, and often I still have to power on bluetooth and connect to the stereo manually, in the KDE widget (strangely, bluetoothctl won't do the trick, most of the times). Once connected, Bluetooth works as desired, until the next reboot. I am still digging in the logfiles, but maybe these commands here are helpful for someone... Feel free to PM me if you have similar problems and / or send me links, any help is much appreciated. I know there's better ways of doing the following, esp. the sudo sections... :-) #!/bin/bash # sudo /sbin/modprobe -r btusb -r btintel sudo /sbin/modprobe btusb btintel sudo rfkill unblock bluetooth sudo service bluetooth restart sleep 3s bluetoothctl power on bluetoothctl connect 0C:A6:94:D1:77:5D sleep 3s sudo service bluetooth restart bluetoothctl connect 0C:A6:94:D1:77:5D pactl get-default-sink pactl set-default-sink bluez_sink.0C_A6_94_D1_77_5D.a2dp_sink -- Best Regards - Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Markus Feilner, Feilner IT - 20 years of open services - Sustainable Open Source Strategy, Networking, Politics, Journalism Knowledge Management, Rubber Ducks, Trainings, Workshops, Documentation https://www.feilner-it.net, 93059 Regensburg Wöhrdstr. 10, +49 170 302 7092 (+Signal) https://mastodon.cloud/@mfeilner https://mastodon.social/@FeilnerIT PGP: 40A3C306F96133067C11CFD9A958A906268C9F0A http://www.feilner-it.net/files/MFpub.asc Xing: http://www.xing.com/profile/Markus_Feilner LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/markusfeilner @mfeilner: Mastodon, Matrix, Jabber, ...

[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))
