how to prevent /etc/profile.d/ files from returning
by David T-G 13 Apr '22

13 Apr '22

Hi, all -- I'm running Leap 15.2 (and this has been happening for a while), and after a round of updates I have to go back to /etc/profile.d and wipe out files that I don't want (alias.bash + ls.bash in particular). Different from adding my own run commands to profile.local.sh thereunder, I want to NOT get the stock stuff. Is there any way to keep them from being dropped again so that I don't have to deal with this over and over? *sigh* TIA & HAND :-D -- David T-G See http://justpickone.org/davidtg/email/ See http://justpickone.org/davidtg/tofu.txt

Firefox 92
by Ianseeks 01 Oct '21

Hi Does anyone have any issues using Firefox? I'm not sure when this happened as i haven't used it for a while. I can no longer right click for a menu, paste anything into the address field, restore the menus. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling but it makes no difference. regards Ian -- opensuse:tumbleweed:20210924 Qt: 5.15.2 KDE Frameworks: 5.86.0 - KDE Plasma: 5.22.5 - kwin 5.22.5 kmail2 5.18.1 (21.08.1) - akonadiserver 5.18.1 (21.08.1) - Kernel: 5.14.6-1-default - xf86-video-nouveau: 1.0.17

Samba new requirements?
by Jason Craig 28 Sep '21

28 Sep '21

I would like to run the latest update on my Tumbleweed system but there is a whole mess of new python38 packages, cepces and more samba packages that are going to be installed. Did samba expand so that I will truly require this extra Python stack and other packages or is there something optional that is pulling all this in that I can forbid? thanks, -- Jason Craig

Tumbleweed - mouse position in GNOME terminal window under Wayland
by Andrei Borzenkov 26 Sep '21

26 Sep '21

Anyone is using TW with GNOME under Wayland? Mouse position seems to be off by one line/one column. If I want to select some text, I need to position cursor to the right of the first character (approximately one character off) and below line. I am interested whether you are using physical or virtual system. I am using QEMU with Gtk/virgl console and I had to add QEMU patch to fix mouse positioning when host itself is using Wayland. So I am not sure whether this is QEMU or GNOME issue.

remote opensuse install
by jdd＠dodin.org 24 Sep '21

24 Sep '21

Hello, I use to have a remote server on the kimsufi.com dealer. I also used to install opensuse on it. alas opensuse don't seems to be anymore in the list of proposed distributions. I could install debian 10. I also have access to a remote rescue like interface to the server. So I may be able to install opensuse remotely I wonder what is the simpler way to do so, may be based on the https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Remote_installation page I recently tried Yunohost, but this debian based server, cpanel clone, is really too much security paranoid, at the point I can't use my preferred applications, but the remote install is specially easy as explained here: https://yunohost.org/fr/install/hardware:vps_debian The disk is already partitioned, but I can probably redo it from the rescue system as needed I mostly need a web server (I know pretty well apache), a very basic install with yast is all I really need to start (no graphical system allowed) What do you think is the best/fastest option thanks jdd -- http://dodin.org

MS Teams does not work anymore after big system update
by Guadagnino Cristiano 24 Sep '21

24 Sep '21

Hi all, I know that MS Teams is not part of the standard repositories, but maybe someone has encountered the same problem I'm having. I need MS Teams for my work, so I added Microsoft's repo and installed it. It has been working flawlessly for some months now. Yesterday I got over 3000 packages to update. Everything went smoothly - apparently - but today I find that both Teams and Insync (a commercial Google Drive client) fail to start. Well, not exactly: they do start, but they don't work, and they keep producing core dumps until I kill them. Is anybody experiencing this problem? Hints? I'm on openSuse Tumbleweed 20210921. Thank you in advance Cris
