[opensuse-support] resolution change - resize and reposition windows
by mh＠mike.franken.de 20 Jan '19

Hi *, is there a feature in plasma5 or a tool that is able to reposition and resize windows relative to a resolution change of the root display? I had the problem, that after switching between my internal notebook screen and my external monitor plasma itself (except for the widgets) resized its elements properly, but all my running windows are too big or too small and have the wrong position. Though I switched off the notebook screen via xrandr in the sddm config scripts and also in kscreen, this also happens when switching off and on the external monitor. After having switched off the monitor, the notebook screen remains dark, but when I switch it on again, the notebook screen flickers for a few seconds, before the external monitor displays the screen. This short time is enough to switch resolution back to the notebook screen and forth again to the external monitor - resulting in wrong positioned and sized windows. In the meantime I assembled a few pieces found on the internet and this way got a working, but very ugly solution: A small program is listening via xlib functions to configure events and when it notices a change in resolution it runs some external script or program. The external script (in my case) checks for all running windows with certain properties and resizes and repositions them. The main problem with this solution is, that it is too slow. If the resolution changes more than one time in a given period, we have more than routine running that wants to resize and reposition windows resulting in a mix up. So what I'm really looking for is a solution built into plasma itself or a tool that works fast enough. Thx for reading :) Bye.

[opensuse-support] open ecard
by Wolfgang Rosenauer 19 Jan '19

19 Jan '19

Hi, has anyone got open ecard (supporting German ID) running on openSUSE (Leap 15.0 in my case)? https://www.openecard.org/startseite/ The Java application is simply telling me that it cannot start the application context and suggests that my smart card service is not running. Interestingly my HBCI chipcard works flawlessly and my card reader service is actually started. Any hints? Thanks, Wolfgang

[opensuse-support] Does NFS allow different encodings to be used on server/client side?
by Rainer Hantsch 18 Jan '19

18 Jan '19

Hello. While I use iso-8859-1 in my systems, my friend uses utf-8. This is actually no big issue when using rsync (as it can convert filenames on the fly), but now I wanted to use KODI on my FireTV stick. KODI appears to use only UTF8 when using its built-in nfs-client, or it has a bug and ignores the configured character set. Anyway, Kodi does not show German Umlauts therefore. Can I configure the kernel-nfs on my server to do something similar to rsync by using "--iconv=iso-8859-1,utf-8"? So my server-side encoding is translated to UTF8 only for this FireTV stick? I had a look into the man pages, but I could not find anything about that. I also googled and figured out that some nfs servers allow that, others don't, ... Would be great if this is possible on openSUSE. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner(a)opensuse.org

Trying to write an iso to a usb drive. Starting Imagewriter, usb drive shows for selection of drive to write to. Clicking on the correct ISO file imagewriter responds with- Sorry I can't write this iso. You need to use another program to write it to a DVD. OK so what the..........I selected the USB drive....bug ?

[opensuse-support] After upgrading to 15.0, I find rpmsave files identical to the original
by Carlos E. R. 15 Jan '19

15 Jan '19

I found these two: Telcontar:~ # diff -s /etc/fonts/conf.d/10-rendering-options.conf.rpmsave /etc/fonts/conf.d/10-rendering-options.conf Files /etc/fonts/conf.d/10-rendering-options.conf.rpmsave and /etc/fonts/conf.d/10-rendering-options.conf are identical Telcontar:~ # diff -s /etc/fonts/conf.d/58-family-prefer-local.conf.rpmsave /etc/fonts/conf.d/58-family-prefer-local.conf Files /etc/fonts/conf.d/58-family-prefer-local.conf.rpmsave and /etc/fonts/conf.d/58-family-prefer-local.conf are identical Telcontar:~ # If the new configuration file is the same as the old one, it is absurd to create the .rpmsave, and wastes admin time. I thought the check was automatic. Bug? -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.0 x86_64 at Telcontar)

[opensuse-support] Tumbleweed - Plymouth: No splash screen on boot
by mh＠mike.franken.de 14 Jan '19

14 Jan '19

Hi, I didn't care in the past for the missing plymouth boot screen on all of my Tumbleweed clients, but lately I installed a new notebook with an encrpyted root partition. Now I'd like to see the splash screen and escpecially the graphical password prompt for the encrypted root partition. I followed a lot of hints from the internet, but didn't succeed - no boot splash at all. I get a splash screen during shutdown now, though. What did I do: - reinstalled all plymouth packages - modfied plymouthd.conf to contain ShowDelay=0 - modified default/grub to contain "splash=silent quiet" (and various other combinations) - ran plymouth-set-default-theme -R <theme> - ran grub2-mkconfig after every change - ran mkinitrd after every change This is a Tumbleweed installation - with all the latest snapshots. The machine is a DELL XPS 13 9370 using the i915 graphics module. What can I do else? TIA. Bye.

[opensuse-support] Tumbleweed - unable to connect Apple Thunderbolt Display to Lenovo Thinkpad P52
by Robert Munteanu 14 Jan '19

14 Jan '19

Hi, I am having problems with connecting my laptop to an Apple Thunderbolt Display [1]. The P52 has two Thunderbolt over USB-C ports and I am connecting it to the Apple Display using an Apple adapter. A colleague has validated that the display works with a Macbook using a similar adapter. I am using the 'Discrete Graphics' setting and using the proprietary nvidia driver version 410.93. I have checked the following: - in the BIOS Thunderbolt assist is disabled ( should not be necessary _and_ it is reported to brick the laptop [2] ) - in the BIOS I have set the security level to 'none' - in Gnome the 'Thunderbolt' panel displays 'Thunderbolt could not be detected' - xrandr -q does not return any connected displays $ xrandr -q Screen 0: minimum 8 x 8, current 3840 x 2160, maximum 32767 x 32767 DP-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) DP-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) HDMI-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) DP-2 connected primary 3840x2160+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 344mm x 193mm 3840x2160 60.00*+ DP-3 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) DP-4 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) - tbtadm devices returns no entries.

[opensuse-support] LibreOffice cannot be started by normal user but no problem by root
by H Zeng 13 Jan '19

13 Jan '19

Hi there, I had posted a startup problem with LibreOffice recently. But mistakenly, I had posted it in a hijacking way. Thanks to Carlos for pointing out this and providing me some ideas along with other people. So I start a new thread because I need further help on this issue and here are something new I found on my problem. And the direction to solve the problem seems changed. For reference, following is the links to the posts in the hijacked thread: [1] https://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-support/2018-12/msg00055.html [2] https://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-support/2018-12/msg00065.html First of all, I can confirm that the issue is not with Java. I fired up a VirtualBox and installed openSUSE Tumbleweed in it with almost all settings as default. LibreOffice runs smoothly without further setup, just like my current system. Here are something new, 1. LibreOffice does not run in a newly created account in my system. The error messages are the same. 2. I have already tried to remove LibreOffice and reinstall all related packages and this does not help. 3. It seems that LibreOffice can run by root, ```bash cnzhx@ostp:/home/cnzhx> libreoffice --version terminate called after throwing an instance of 'com::sun::star::uno::RuntimeException' ``` ```bash cnzhx@ostp:/home/cnzhx> sudo libreoffice --version LibreOffice 6.1.3.2 10(Build:2) ``` Then, the question is that how could I make LO also works by normal user. I have no clue where to start trying. Any suggestions are welcome! -- Best regards, ZHX -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner(a)opensuse.org
