[opensuse-support] Command man in Tumbleweed does not work anymore /usr/lib -> /usr/libexec
by Freek de Kruijf 04 Sep '20

04 Sep '20

I upgraded Tumbleweed and tried to use man. /usr/bin/man -> /etc/alternatives/man which points to /usr/lib/man-db/wrapper, which does not exists anymore. However /usr/libexec/man-db/wrapper does exist. -- fr.gr. member openSUSE Freek de Kruijf -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-support] hostname
by Doug McGarrett 04 Sep '20

04 Sep '20

How do you change the hostname of the computer? The information I have for a different system does not apply here. I want the computer to be called linux1 The old directions I have go like this: In /etc/sysconfig/network: should read HOSTNAME=linux1 NETWORKING=yes CRDA_DOMAIN=US In /etc/hosts: should read #generated by drakconnect 127.0.0.1 linux1 127.0.0.1 localhost Thanx for the assistance--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] Tumbleweed: rpm problem or Xsane cannot find scanner
by Peter McD 02 Sep '20

02 Sep '20

Hi, The scanner driver is an 64-bit rpm-package from Brother and works with Leap 15.2. An obvious difference to Tumbleweed is: After the installation with Yast I find under Leap in /etc/udev/rules.d/ /etc/udev/rules.d/55-brother-mfp-brscan5-1.0.2-2.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/55-libsane.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/56-sane-backends-autoconfig.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules (441 bytes) After the installation with Yast I find under Tumbleweed in /etc/udev/rules.d/ just /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules (zero bytes). I did a test and copied the files form Leap 15.2 to Tumbleweed to /etc/udev/rules.d/. Xsane worked(!) Finally I found libsane.rule and sane-backends-autoconfig.rules in Tumbleweed under /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/55-libsane.rules /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/56-sane-backends-autoconfig.rules Obviously for xsane to find it, /etc/udev/rules.d/55-brother-mfp-brscan5-1.0.2-2.rules should be at a different location. Solution, sort of: I copied the Brother driver in Tumbleweed to /etc/udev/rules.d/55-brother-mfp-brscan5-1.0.2-2.rules and linked /etc/udev/rules.d/55-libsane.rules -> /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/55-libsane.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/56-sane-backends-autoconfig.rules -> /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/56-sane-backends-autoconfig.rules Peter -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-support] Speller and Thunderbird.
by Carlos E. R. 02 Sep '20

02 Sep '20

Hi, Using version 68, but the issue is old. Canadian English dictionary. I have the word "Telefónica" added to my dictionary, and thus the word is accepted as correct. But if I type "Telefonica" it flags it as incorrect and suggests "Electronica". Why? Bug? With English UK it accepts "Telefonica" as correct. "Telefónica" is also correct to it. With English USA it suggest "Electronica" as well. Only in Spanish it wants to correct "Telefonica" to "Telefónica". -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.1 x86_64 at Telcontar)

[opensuse-support] sub for artha?
by Doug McGarrett 02 Sep '20

02 Sep '20

Has anyone reading here found an acceptable substitute for Artha ? Something that can tolerate minor misspellings, and provide the correct spelling, and perhaps a simple list of definitions? A little app that can live in the panel? --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] dolphin-su prefs
by ksusup 02 Sep '20

02 Sep '20

I cannot suffer windows without menu bars, editable location boxes, visible hidden files, and compact as default-view without a sidebar. How can I clone my 'user' settings including colors in kde, into the root folder? A larger scope question in fact, how to clone any user's all look-and-feel settings to any other user? PS. it's not a question about the wisdom of using an su file-managar nor about how to set the preferences like each time. -- "Extremism in defense of liberty is no vice; moderation in pursuit of justice is no virtue".

[opensuse-support] How to access OpenSuSE Forums, etc. with IDP Portal?
by J Leslie Turriff 02 Sep '20

02 Sep '20

So, after waiting forever for the migration dust to die down WRT the various OpenSuSE online resources, I'm trying to regain access. Since my old account is no longer accessible, I created a new account (IDP Portal Info) which is supposed to give me access, but then if I click on the Login widget on the Forums page it opens a new tab with e.g. https://forums.opensuse.org/ICSLogin/auth-up?url=%2Fforumdisplay.php%2F667-… I fill in account name and password, press Login, and...I'm back on the Forum page, but STILL NOT LOGGED IN. What's the trick to making this work? Leslie -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-support] files list?
by Doug McGarrett 01 Sep '20

01 Sep '20

Is there an app that will give one a list of all the available files in a repo? If so, how are the repos named, so as to determine which repo one is looking at? Or does the app offer a choice of repos at initiation? --doug -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner(a)opensuse.org
