[opensuse-support] Dolphin problem
by Doug McGarrett 16 Oct '20

16 Oct '20

Still on TW and I think I'll stay. don't know how to get the scanner to work again, but. . . . Suddenly, clicking on the Dolphin icon on the desktop produces: 90.4 GiB Hard Drive > run > media > doug > *TOSHIBA.EXT* and under that, in a box: The file or folder /run/media/doug/TOSHIBA EXT dow not exist. Have removed the icon (sent to trash) and brought up a replacement from the grinning ball at the bottom left corner of the screen--it's still fubar. Now what? Before and after: ran latest upgrade. No difference. And scanner still doesn't work, and brought down a new rpm from Epson but zypper says it is installed already. Yast still can't find scanner. Printer still works. Tried a new install of Leap on the other computer, (from same download) and it is stubborn about installing some things that worked before. I don't want to deal with that. One system--this TW one--is more than enough! --doug -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-support] upgrade problem
by Doug McGarrett 15 Oct '20

15 Oct '20

This is sort of following on the scanner problem, since the scanner problem (not working any more, and not found by Yast) is more-or-less coincident with an upgrade. Tried this evening to run the latest upgrade, but after a whole batch of stuff was downloaded, it asked for a downloaded install disk version which I don't have. ( I have one from two days later, but that seems to be unacceptable. Specifically, I have the disk from which I installed TW, version, 2020-0826. The dialog from the attempted u[grade follows: Please insert medium [openSUSE-20200824-0] #1 and type 'y' to continue or 'n' to cancel the operation. [yes/no] (no): y Retrieving package libgimp-2_0-0-2.10.20-3.1.x86_64 (185/190), 286.1 KiB (777.3 KiB unpacked) File './x86_64/libgimp-2_0-0-2.10.20-3.1.x86_64.rpm' not found on medium 'cd:/?devices=/dev/disk/by-id/usb-HL-DT-ST_DVDRAM_GP08LU11_P01090612025848-0:0' Please insert medium [openSUSE-20200824-0] #1 and type 'y' to continue or 'n' to cancel the operation.

Question: can I find (where?) a version of libgimp-2_0-0-2.10.20-3.1.x86_64_rpm and put it somewhere--perhaps on a flash-drive--and make the thing happy? Or am I just out of luck? Tried rpm-find but this file not found.

[opensuse-support] Firefox: Can't save or open anything, after firefox has run for a while
by mh＠mike.franken.de 15 Oct '20

15 Oct '20

Hi *, starting with the latest firefox versions in the latest Tumbleweed snapshots a new problem occurred: If Firefox ran for a longer period of time, it can't save or open files any longer: - Sometimes the open dialog does not appear, - sometimes it appears, you can click on "save", but nothing happens, - no programs can be chosen to open the file - the list is empty, - sometimes a rudimental dialog appears, where you can't click anything. After closing all open firefox tabs or windows and starting them again, everything reverts to normal. Does this sound familiar to anyone? TIA. Bye.

[opensuse-support] Alternative DE's
by ksusup＠trixtar.org 15 Oct '20

What are listed as Gnome(s) on the Leap/Tumbleweed login-page, are those versions of Gnome-3? Is it possible to create a panel setup in Gnome-3 that approximates my KDE one? https://paste.opensuse.org/56797715 I'm evaluating alternative DE's, I've had reasonably good results with xfce, mate and lxqt for a total of 4 including kde. thanks -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner(a)opensuse.org

I just noticed that in Leap FVWM and Cinnamon are not listed together with others like Splashma, Gnome, Mate, LXqt, xfce etc. I'm curious about the reason for this.. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner(a)opensuse.org

Just very recently, received emails by Thunderbird that are quoting a previous email are printing the quote in a light blue text that is hard to read. Can this be fixed, and if so, how?

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

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 being available and apparently all details being accessible from Windows. I've not found so far much documentation in regard so I'm asking if I'm ready to go with just CUPS or may be I need to install SAMBA as well in order Windows being able to print via CUPS? Any brief and 100% working HOW-TO is appreciated.
