printer again
by Doug McGarrett 15 Feb '21

15 Feb '21

LaserJet won't print from this OpenSUSE-TW computer. (It did, but not now.) Print jobs get stuck in the queue. lprm will only remove stuck items one at a time--I thought that it would delete all the queues at once, but it won't. Root lprm -P (printer name) needed to clear all the queues one at a time. Ping of that printer produces an error: doug@linux1:~> ping 192.168.1.29 ERROR: ld.so: object 'libesets_pac.so' from /etc/ld.so.preload cannot be preloaded (cannot open shared object file): ignored.

Ping from the other computer shows no error. I don't know what to do next. Suggestions? --doug

saving pictorial info
by Doug McGarrett 13 Feb '21

13 Feb '21

I found a 3-page tutorial from Seiko as to how to diagnose a watch problem, nicely illustrated and in color. I would like to copy this to some app from which it could be printed out on a color printer and saved. Is this possible, and if so, how? (OS TW) Obviously a print-screen routine will save pieces of the illo, but then all would have to be printed and pasted together, which seems like a clumsy way to do things. Thanx--doug

Best level of gcc for Leap 15.2?

I ran into an odd error while compiling some source code, and while poking around I found this for my gcc setup: | ● zypper se -is gcc | Loading repository data... | Reading installed packages... | | S | Name | Type | Version | Arch | Repository | ---+---------------------------+---------+---------------------------+--------+-------------------------- | i+ | gcc | package | 7-lp152.4.114 | x86_64 | Main Repository | i+ | gcc-c++ | package | 7-lp152.4.114 | x86_64 | Main Repository | i+ | gcc-fortran | package | 7-lp152.4.114 | x86_64 | Main Repository | i+ | gcc-info | package | 7-lp152.4.114 | x86_64 | Main Repository | i+ | gcc10-debugsource | package | 10.2.1+git583-lp152.2.2 | x86_64 | Update Repository (Debug) | i+ | gcc7 | package | 7.5.0+r278197-lp152.3.6.1 | x86_64 | openSUSE:Leap:15.2:Update | i+ | gcc7 | package | 7.5.0+r278197-lp152.3.6.1 | x86_64 | Main Update Repository | i+ | gcc7-c++ | package | 7.5.0+r278197-lp152.3.6.1 | x86_64 | openSUSE:Leap:15.2:Update | i+ | gcc7-c++ | package | 7.5.0+r278197-lp152.3.6.1 | x86_64 | Main Update Repository | i+ | gcc7-fortran | package | 7.5.0+r278197-lp152.3.6.1 | x86_64 | openSUSE:Leap:15.2:Update | i+ | gcc7-fortran | package | 7.5.0+r278197-lp152.3.6.1 | x86_64 | Main Update Repository | i+ | gcc7-info | package | 7.5.0+r278197-lp152.3.6.1 | noarch | openSUSE:Leap:15.2:Update | i+ | gcc7-info | package | 7.5.0+r278197-lp152.3.6.1 | noarch | Main Update Repository | i+ | gcc8-debugsource | package | 8.2.1+r264010-lp152.2.126 | x86_64 | Debug Repository | i+ | gcc9-debugsource | package | 9.3.1+git1296-lp152.2.3.1 | x86_64 | Update Repository (Debug) | i+ | gccmakedep | package | 1.0.3-lp152.3.2 | noarch | Main Repository | i+ | libgcc_s1 | package | 10.2.1+git583-lp152.2.2 | x86_64 | openSUSE:Leap:15.2:Update | i+ | libgcc_s1 | package | 10.2.1+git583-lp152.2.2 | x86_64 | Main Update Repository | i+ | libgcc_s1-32bit | package | 10.2.1+git583-lp152.2.2 | x86_64 | openSUSE:Leap:15.2:Update | i+ | libgcc_s1-32bit | package | 10.2.1+git583-lp152.2.2 | x86_64 | Main Update Repository | i+ | libgcc_s1-32bit-debuginfo | package | 10.2.1+git583-lp152.2.2 | x86_64 | Update Repository (Debug) | i+ | libgcc_s1-debuginfo | package | 10.2.1+git583-lp152.2.2 | x86_64 | Update Repository (Debug) | i+ | libstdc++6-devel-gcc7 | package | 7.5.0+r278197-lp152.3.6.1 | x86_64 | openSUSE:Leap:15.2:Update | i+ | libstdc++6-devel-gcc7 | package | 7.5.0+r278197-lp152.3.6.1 | x86_64 | Main Update Repository | i+ | libstdc++6-pp-gcc9 | package | 9.3.1+git1296-lp152.2.3.1 | x86_64 | openSUSE:Leap:15.2:Update | i+ | libstdc++6-pp-gcc9 | package | 9.3.1+git1296-lp152.2.3.1 | x86_64 | Main Update Repository | i+ | libstdc++6-pp-gcc9-32bit | package | 9.3.1+git1296-lp152.2.3.1 | x86_64 | openSUSE:Leap:15.2:Update | i+ | libstdc++6-pp-gcc9-32bit | package | 9.3.1+git1296-lp152.2.3.1 | x86_64 | Main Update Repository Surely it's not a good idea to have such a mixture of levels in use.

help with rename
by Doug McGarrett 09 Feb '21

09 Feb '21

Please help me rename this file eset_nod32av_64bit_en(1).linux in my /home/doug/Downloads directory so as to get rid of the ( 1 ). I thought I knew how, and the man doesn't seem to help, and it keeps coming back with the paren section, thus: doug@linux1:~/Downloads> rename eset_nod32av_64bit_en\(1\).linux eset_nod32av_64bit_en.linux /home/doug/Downloads It doesn't complain, but it doesn't do the job, either. Thanx. --doug

Discover app doesn't work
by Carlos E. R. 05 Feb '21

05 Feb '21

Hi, I just learned today from a KDE tool called "Discover". Bengt Gördén said "It helps users to find software they might want easily and quickly", and Daniel Morris posted a nice screenshot at <https://susepaste.org/60719239> Well, here it doesn't work. At first start, it asks for my PGP password to one of my identities - WHY? Anyway, I type it, and after a little way, claims: "unable to load applications, Please verify Internet connectivity". Which is obviously absurd, there is internet connectivity, as proved by me sending emails. I'm using Leap 15.2 and XFCE. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.2 x86_64 at Telcontar)

printer paper size
by Doug McGarrett 03 Feb '21

03 Feb '21

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? --doug

Line-In/Mic handling Desktop/Laptop
by Ben T. Fender 03 Feb '21

03 Feb '21

If I boot Leap-15.1 on my destktop with the guitar already plugged into the mic jack I hear a click as soon as the boot begins and can play before the log-in dialog even appears. Doing the same thing on my Asus-g73 I will NOT hear the guitar until I launch Audacity and launch a recording session. Same OS, same update, the desktop has a Xonar card the g73 the built-in one, both with a line-in jack. https://paste.opensuse.org/58437397 ignore the hopeless TW side of the snaps how come the difference?
