Yes. Meanwhile I got me a new used Lenovo T470 and clean-installed TW on one of a 1gb Samsung e860 ssd partitions (identical to what I have in my desktop). Then I just dd'd that installation over to my desktop ssd and ...bingo, Audacity works on TW on both machines. I do have a backup image of the old TW made about a month ago so if my life depended on it I 'could' revert to that and do more trouble-shooting. I feel like a creep for you having gone to all this trouble and me not following up but now I have my hands full getting on top of this laptop :-) Thank you again, and do get well, if you haven't already! -- "The true measure of a man's character, is how he treats those who can do nothing for him".

[oS-EN] Which is the currently preferred CD ripping software?
by Carlos E. R. 19 Jan '24

19 Jan '24

Hi, I am curious. What is the currently preferred CD ripping software? Years ago I used "grip", a gnome tool. Then it died, and I asked here. I tried the suggestions, and I finally used "audex". Problem with audex is, it is kde 3. I also know about asunder, abcde. Even k3b can do it, I hear. asunder does not do MusicBrain searches, only cddb. k3b can not configure the ripping, but cddb search works. audex fails to find the tracks in cddb (actually gnudb.gnudb.org). Some other nice and modern GUI tool for ripping CDs? -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from Telcontar, using openSUSE Leap 15.4)

Ssh Xforwarding works for app but not for help
by G McAlister 19 Jan '24

19 Jan '24

I'm using Opensuse Leap 15.5 in a Proxmox lxc container to run the gnucash app. I can ssh into the container and, with Xforwarding, I can use the app remotely on my KDE desktop. Great. However, in the Help menu, if I click on either "Tutorial and Concepts Guide" or "Contents", those windows don't open on my KDE desktop but on the container console. Doesn't seem like an app problem but maybe some detail of forwarding or odd behaviour of yelp, the gnome help viewer. Any thoughts, please?

Mono on Tumbleweed
by Roger Oberholtzer 19 Jan '24

19 Jan '24

Hi all, I'm not much of an expert in .NET/Mono. So bear with me... I have a vendor-supplied RPM that I want to install. It contains a Linux 64-bit C# application. When I try to install it, I get the following: error: Failed dependencies: mono(System.Collections) = 6.0.0.0 is needed by navsolve-cmd-1.2.1-2.x86_64 mono(System.ComponentModel.Primitives) = 6.0.0.0 is needed by navsolve-cmd-1.2.1-2.x86_64 mono(System.Console) = 6.0.0.0 is needed by navsolve-cmd-1.2.1-2.x86_64 mono(System.Diagnostics.Process) = 6.0.0.0 is needed by navsolve-cmd-1.2.1-2.x86_64 mono(System.Linq) = 6.0.0.0 is needed by navsolve-cmd-1.2.1-2.x86_64 mono(System.Runtime) = 6.0.0.0 is needed by navsolve-cmd-1.2.1-2.x86_64 mono(System.Text.RegularExpressions) = 6.0.0.0 is needed by navsolve-cmd-1.2.1-2.x86_64 mono(System.Threading) = 6.0.0.0 is needed by navsolve-cmd-1.2.1-2.x86_64 mono(System.Threading.Thread) = 6.0.0.0 is needed by navsolve-cmd-1.2.1-2.x86_64 mono(System.Xml.ReaderWriter) = 6.0.0.0 is needed by navsolve-cmd-1.2.1-2.x86_64 mono(System.Xml.XmlSerializer) = 6.0.0.0 is needed by navsolve-cmd-1.2.1-2.x86_64 I have used earlier releases of this software. So I think it generally works in openSUSE. I have the following installed on a Tumbleweed system: libmonosgen-2_0-1-6.12.0-5.5.x86_64 mono-data-6.12.0-5.4.x86_64 noto-sans-mono-fonts-20220607-66.279.noarch mono-web-6.12.0-5.4.x86_64 mono-wcf-6.12.0-5.4.x86_64 monodoc-core-6.12.0-5.5.x86_64 libmono-2_0-devel-6.12.0-5.5.x86_64 libmonosgen-2_0-devel-6.12.0-5.5.x86_64 libmonoboehm-2_0-devel-6.12.0-5.5.x86_64 mono-devel-6.12.0-5.4.x86_64 mono-data-oracle-6.12.0-5.4.x86_64 libmonoboehm-2_0-1-6.12.0-5.5.x86_64 mono-extras-6.12.0-5.4.x86_64 mono-data-sqlite-6.12.0-5.4.x86_64 mono-complete-6.12.0-5.5.x86_64 mono-core-6.12.0-5.4.x86_64 mono-locale-extras-6.12.0-5.5.x86_64 mono-mvc-6.12.0-5.4.x86_64 mono-winforms-6.12.0-5.4.x86_64 mono-winfxcore-6.12.0-5.4.x86_64 libmono-2_0-1-6.12.0-5.5.x86_64 ghc-mono-traversable-1.0.15.3-2.12.x86_64 mono-reactive-6.12.0-5.5.x86_64 wine-mono-8.0.0-60.1.noarch So it is .NET 6. Specifically, .NET 6.12.0. Which should be okay. I'm curious why the test is for = 6.0.0.0 and not >= 6.0.0.0. Could it be that the RPM is incorrect in this sense? Or does .NET require these exact matches? I do not see these available in the repo I use for this: https://packages.microsoft.com/opensuse/15/prod As I said, I'm not a .NET/MONO expert. -- Roger Oberholtzer

[oS-EN] Caps lock key and led problem - ideas?
by Carlos E. R. 18 Jan '24

18 Jan '24

Hi, I have a small nuisance with the led on the caps lock key of this laptop: on wakeup from hibernation it is on, while typing produces lowercase letters. What I do is hit the key twice. Is there something I could do? Is this a bug to be reported, for instance? Could I run something to read the led and switch it off if it is on? maybe automatically on return from hibernation. Write something to /proc? Ideas? -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from openSUSE 15.5 (Laicolasse))

Some YouTube videos don't play in Chrome after recent update
by Jeffrey Taylor 18 Jan '24

18 Jan '24

I updated my Leap 15.5 installation a few days ago. Trying to play https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RtmW2ek7WkQ gives this error message: "An error occurred. Please try again later." I played the same video yesterday and it played fine. Firefox plays fine. My repo list is below and messages for update. These messages are because I have some OpenSuSE packages that Packman has updates for. I prefer to use Chrome.

Hi, I seem to have a 'this-is-only-for-build-envs'. Tumbleweed. I am unable to delete it as zypper cannot find it and neither can the repositories.

Get bootinfo script output?
by -pj 17 Jan '24

17 Jan '24

I have a machine displaying the following after POST 'TrustedGrub32 No TPM found error'. Trying to get the output of ./bootinfoscript . but unable to find an openSUSE live rescue cd either 32 or 64 bit from here (as I have a 32 bit machine here also): https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Tumbleweed_installation#LiveCDs/Rescue_CD link does not allow for 32 bit KDE Live or 64 bit KDE Live rescue .iso downloads. If I use the 32 bit openSUSE Tumbleweed offline image (I got elsewhere) boots up but am a bit lost on how to proceed to getting bootinfoscript results from the machine. Where can I find the 32 bit KDE live rescue cd .iso? If not available where to locate the 64 bit KDE live rescue cd .iso? 1. To include in this message, what is best way to mount a separate usb with bootinfo script in a folder; if choose to proceed with the openSUSE offline image and work from a TTY (CLI)? Also how to copy the bootinfoscript results file (once executed) to the separate usb drive for further review? -Thanks
