[opensuse-support] After upgrading to 15.0, I find rpmsave files identical to the original
by Carlos E. R. 15 Jan '19

15 Jan '19

I found these two: Telcontar:~ # diff -s /etc/fonts/conf.d/10-rendering-options.conf.rpmsave /etc/fonts/conf.d/10-rendering-options.conf Files /etc/fonts/conf.d/10-rendering-options.conf.rpmsave and /etc/fonts/conf.d/10-rendering-options.conf are identical Telcontar:~ # diff -s /etc/fonts/conf.d/58-family-prefer-local.conf.rpmsave /etc/fonts/conf.d/58-family-prefer-local.conf Files /etc/fonts/conf.d/58-family-prefer-local.conf.rpmsave and /etc/fonts/conf.d/58-family-prefer-local.conf are identical Telcontar:~ # If the new configuration file is the same as the old one, it is absurd to create the .rpmsave, and wastes admin time. I thought the check was automatic. Bug? -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.0 x86_64 at Telcontar)

[opensuse-support] Tumbleweed - Plymouth: No splash screen on boot
by mh＠mike.franken.de 14 Jan '19

14 Jan '19

Hi, I didn't care in the past for the missing plymouth boot screen on all of my Tumbleweed clients, but lately I installed a new notebook with an encrpyted root partition. Now I'd like to see the splash screen and escpecially the graphical password prompt for the encrypted root partition. I followed a lot of hints from the internet, but didn't succeed - no boot splash at all. I get a splash screen during shutdown now, though. What did I do: - reinstalled all plymouth packages - modfied plymouthd.conf to contain ShowDelay=0 - modified default/grub to contain "splash=silent quiet" (and various other combinations) - ran plymouth-set-default-theme -R <theme> - ran grub2-mkconfig after every change - ran mkinitrd after every change This is a Tumbleweed installation - with all the latest snapshots. The machine is a DELL XPS 13 9370 using the i915 graphics module. What can I do else? TIA. Bye.

[opensuse-support] Tumbleweed - unable to connect Apple Thunderbolt Display to Lenovo Thinkpad P52
by Robert Munteanu 14 Jan '19

14 Jan '19

Hi, I am having problems with connecting my laptop to an Apple Thunderbolt Display [1]. The P52 has two Thunderbolt over USB-C ports and I am connecting it to the Apple Display using an Apple adapter. A colleague has validated that the display works with a Macbook using a similar adapter. I am using the 'Discrete Graphics' setting and using the proprietary nvidia driver version 410.93. I have checked the following: - in the BIOS Thunderbolt assist is disabled ( should not be necessary _and_ it is reported to brick the laptop [2] ) - in the BIOS I have set the security level to 'none' - in Gnome the 'Thunderbolt' panel displays 'Thunderbolt could not be detected' - xrandr -q does not return any connected displays $ xrandr -q Screen 0: minimum 8 x 8, current 3840 x 2160, maximum 32767 x 32767 DP-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) DP-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) HDMI-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) DP-2 connected primary 3840x2160+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 344mm x 193mm 3840x2160 60.00*+ DP-3 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) DP-4 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) - tbtadm devices returns no entries.

[opensuse-support] LibreOffice cannot be started by normal user but no problem by root
by H Zeng 13 Jan '19

13 Jan '19

Hi there, I had posted a startup problem with LibreOffice recently. But mistakenly, I had posted it in a hijacking way. Thanks to Carlos for pointing out this and providing me some ideas along with other people. So I start a new thread because I need further help on this issue and here are something new I found on my problem. And the direction to solve the problem seems changed. For reference, following is the links to the posts in the hijacked thread: [1] https://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-support/2018-12/msg00055.html [2] https://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-support/2018-12/msg00065.html First of all, I can confirm that the issue is not with Java. I fired up a VirtualBox and installed openSUSE Tumbleweed in it with almost all settings as default. LibreOffice runs smoothly without further setup, just like my current system. Here are something new, 1. LibreOffice does not run in a newly created account in my system. The error messages are the same. 2. I have already tried to remove LibreOffice and reinstall all related packages and this does not help. 3. It seems that LibreOffice can run by root, ```bash cnzhx@ostp:/home/cnzhx> libreoffice --version terminate called after throwing an instance of 'com::sun::star::uno::RuntimeException' ``` ```bash cnzhx@ostp:/home/cnzhx> sudo libreoffice --version LibreOffice 6.1.3.2 10(Build:2) ``` Then, the question is that how could I make LO also works by normal user. I have no clue where to start trying. Any suggestions are welcome! -- Best regards, ZHX -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-support] Network watchdog
by Peter Suetterlin 09 Jan '19

09 Jan '19

Hi List, Last november, my remote home server went offline. When I finally could access it physically, the machine was all fine, just the connection to the outside world had been dead. A simple 'systemctl restart network' did bring it back (it's a wicked-managed dhcp connection). Now I wonder if there is some daemon existing that regularly checks if the outside connection is properly working and, if not, restarts the network. I'd have expected systemctl to do something like that. Or is it so simple that I should just write a cron script that does this? The system is 42.3 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner(a)opensuse.org
