Now that I've upgraded to Leap 15.2, I'm trying to re-add the Packman
repository, but when I try to refresh it, zypper tells me
| █ zypper ref -r Packman

After removing and re-adding Packman (using cut-and-paste from

the same results, I tried using YaST's Software Repositories tool. Using the
Add button and selecting Community Repositories, YaST tells me
| Unable to download list of repositories

(see attached)
However, I'm able to browse to
https://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/packman/suse/openSUSE_Leap_15.2/ and view
its contents. I also tried disabling privoxy, but that didn't help.
Is there some sort of cache entry that needs to be purged? I've never seen
this before.

I have the same password as boot and as my user. CUPS doesn't like that
password, and I have no other.

Apparently there is no default. When I ask a page (or pages) to print, I
get a dialog asking which printer.
The printers do not come up with names in the sequences you show, and I
had no luck changing the defaults
for the Epson, altho the information that is provided shows what's
wrong. here's the sequence at my place:

and so on. . . .

My Epson printer will try to print on a European size instead of letter
with source material that does not
explicitly specify to use letter (8.5 x 11 inches). The LaserJet is OK
with the US size. Where and how should
I change the default size for the Epson printer, please?

You can use either doug's password, or root's password.
Alternatively, use the command "lpoptions" in a terminal window.
lpoptions -l
will tell you the options for the current default printer.
First you have to find out what printers you have. For example:
cer@Telcontar:~> lpstat -a
cp1510n_ps accepting requests since 2021-01-30T14:42:21 CET
cp1515n_hpijs accepting requests since 2020-10-23T22:15:18 CEST
cp1515n_pcl3 accepting requests since 2020-09-29T00:00:55 CEST
cer@Telcontar:~>
and which is the default one?
cer@Telcontar:~> lpstat -d
system default destination: cp1510n_ps
cer@Telcontar:~>
Now, find the options for the default printer:
cer@Telcontar:~> lpoptions -l

cer@Telcontar:~>
Well, that is the method, but it does not work. Not even as root. Maybe
because my printer is off at this moment? No, no change. Another printer?
No, no change.
The options are saved in a file, and this seems to work:
cer@Telcontar:~> cat ~/.cups/lpoptions
Default cp1510n_ps InputSlot=Auto
Dest cp1515n_pcl3 PageSize/Media=true Size=A5
cer@Telcontar:~>

But not always.

See that the file uses the wording "Size=A5"? I try that on the command,
doesn't seem to work.
Well, try to edit the options directly on the file and find out if the printer obeys.

Hi
In the last week or so, my machine has locked up 3 times immediately after inputting the password and pressing <CR>. I then have to manually reboot. Once it happened on the very first login of the day after being switched on, the others after numerous successful logins.
Anyone else experiencing this issue?
regards
Ian

Where does YaST store this information?

Hi,
My father-in-law sent me a videotape, asking if I could digitize it form
him. He's a great father-in-law (a great father too, btw...) so I'd like
to help him.
I remembered I had a Hauppauge WinTV card lying around, but alas, it's
PCI, and I have no PCI interface on my motherboard, only PCI-X.
Now I see some S-Video-to-USB cables, which are supposed to do the
digitizing trick. Low cost, some 20 €.
Chipset is UTV007.
Linux support in general is described at
https://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Easycap#Making_it_work_4; but
that page was last edited 5 years ago. It seems to me that the support
presented there is very experimental.
Any chance I would get this to work with TW or Leap 15.2?
There's also the VTOP-Ubuntu-Audio-Capture-Device, which is mich more
expensive ($ 55, + shipping from US to the Netherlands).
regards, Jogchum
Two or three times recently--as recent as this afternoon--a whole batch
of apps, the icons
of which live in the panel, or systray, have piled up at the left-hand
side. They don't overlap,
but they are all to directly the right of the normal (what I consider
normal) icons, which are the
smiling ball, desktop1, system settings, YaST, Konsole terminal, and
Kate. All the other
icons --15, plus the time/date, have moved to the left. What is causing
this, and how can
I make it stop? (I have moved them back a couple of times, but they no
longer stay put.)
System is OS-TW, up to date as per 1114. (I think it also occurred
before this update.)
Thanx for any insight--doug
(TW) Have a musical keyboard, "Studio 61" by Fatar, which I know works--
I saw it demoed when I bought it--but I have yet to make a sound with it.
When I research midi, I get recommends for several different midi apps,
all of which seem to assume you have your keyboard working. What must I
do to get the instrument to produce musical notes in my speakers?
