[opensuse-support] Tumbleweed: Not generating service for XDG autostart ??
by Peter McD 12 Oct '20

12 Oct '20

Hi, I get in a new Tumbleweed a set of similar messages from dmesg. The first of that group: 17.608624] systemd-xdg-autostart-generator[1891]: Not generating service for XDG autostart app-kaccess-autostart.service, only Type=Application is supported. The whole set is below. What to do with it?

[opensuse-support] Network printing using CUPS on Linux
by Marco Calistri 08 Oct '20

Dears, I was trying to setup a Printer server using Cups and an HP desk-jet connected via USB on my Tumbleweed. I wonder send printing jobs from another computer sharing the same local network which runs Windows 10. Communication between Windows and Cups over LAN has been verified and it works. If I print a test page from Cups web-page accessing it by the Windows pc browser, it works. The problem is that I cannot print nothing using the Windows spool despite the network shared printer … [View More]

Hi, I need to use https://meet.opensuse.org/ and it just doesn't work for me. Using Leap 15.1 on three computers. First laptop. XFCE would not manage the BT earphones, so I switched to Gnome after a reboot. With it, sound on the earphones was just noise, but the microphone appeared to work (unsure without loopback test). But when opening the meeting both cores went to 100% CPU, so sound had "interrupts". Camera worked in the meeting configuration, but refused on the meeting, because "… [View More]

[opensuse-support] no netflix with firefox on tumbleweed
by ksusup 04 Oct '20

04 Oct '20

Netflix works fine on my asus g73 laptop under Leap-15.2. The problem with Leap here is the 60" TV screen not mirroring the laptop correctly, all I can get is an ovescaled but small part of the laptop screen. Firefox-78.2 in use. With Tumbleweed the TV screen mirrors just fine out of the box but netflix gives the error code F7355 (DRM enabled in all cases). Loading the flick into Chromium solves the problem but I want to use FF or Opera both of which have the problem. Downgrading FF to … [View More]

[opensuse-support] Translator

In the Discover package, there seems to be an app called Translator, which I installed, but I can't find it anywhere. It claims to be an "Easy to use translation plasmoid (Gui for translate shell package)." I guess I don't know what a "translate shell package" is. I was hoping that this was something that would render, say, Italian or French or Russian, etc., into English. Perhaps not.
