[opensuse-support][TW] menus black Plasma screen
by Felix Miata 11 Mar '19

11 Mar '19

Today is not the first time getting black screens trying to use Plasma's app menu. KDM and XDM are the only installed DMs. After duping to 20190307 (32bit today, but other TW installations 64 bit), first attempt to multi-user.target startx Plasma session produced a black screen. I killed the session, deleted content of ~/.cache/, then tried again. Session opened normally, but attempting to open an app from menu turned the screen black. I had to move the mouse near upper right corner and left click to unblack the screen. Then I right clicked the starter to see what the menu style is (non-default, KDE3-style) and the screen turned black again, this time non-recoverably except to close the session via remote login. .xsession-errors was last written 2 months ago. If journal or dmesg contain clues, I'm missing them. Ctrl-Alt-BS instead of closing the session powered down the PC. On reboot IceWM from startx worked as expected. Reboot without vga=791 or video=1440x900@60 and with 5 produces working KDM and succeeds to open IceWM working as expected. Plasma from KDM is still blacking the screen in similar fashion to opening from startx. Right click on desktop also blacks, and Ctrl-Alt-BS worked as expected on last try. # inxi -G Graphics: Device-1: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD/ATI] RV370 [Radeon X600/X600 SE] driver: radeon v: kernel Display: server: X.org 1.20.4 driver: ati,radeon unloaded: fbdev,modesetting,vesa tty: 189x52 # uname -a Linux gx151 4.20.13-1-pae #1 SMP Wed Feb 27 18:03:26 UTC 2019 (fb7c4a5) i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux -- Evolution as taught in public schools is religion, not science.

[opensuse-support] How to keep X session in background active?
by Maximilian Trummer 07 Mar '19

07 Mar '19

When running two X sessions (KDE Plasma), I've found that the currently inactive one seems to get "hibernated" somehow. I couldn't find an answer online because all questions I found were about SSH timeouts and whatnot. The most annoying side effect of that is network connections being terminated, but it also has other effects like the analog clock widget being halted so you see the cursor jump after you switch back to that session. Sometimes the secondary X session also locks the screen as you switch to it, because it suddenly awoke from its slumber and noticed that it should be locked already after that time. What's the reason for this behaviour? Is there any way to keep everything active and running in inactive X sessions? regards

[opensuse-support] Find out what pulls in new packages on 'zypper dup'
by Maximilian Trummer 05 Mar '19

05 Mar '19

I'm trying to do a 'zypper dup' on a headless server, but it wants to install a load of unnecessary packages. Many of them are gtk stuff, but also cryptsetup, mdadm, PackageKit and fuse. The upgrade would be from the currently running 20190222 to 20190301, which upgrades the schemes 'base', 'basesystem' and 'minimal_base'. How can I find out what package is trying to pull in these new dependencies? regards

Hi, Has anybody experimented with reiserfs4? I see packages, but no wiki page on our system. I do not know how to do it. I'm getting curious because I heard it supports compression. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.0 x86_64 at Telcontar)

[opensuse-support] How can I hibernate in shutdown mode?
by Carlos E. R. 02 Mar '19

02 Mar '19

Hi, some weeks ago I said I had crashes on restore from hibernation. Andrei Borzenkov told me to use HibernateMode=shutdown in systemd-sleep.conf. After reading man systemd-sleep.conf I fail to find a syntax that works. If I write Telcontar:~ # cat /etc/systemd/sleep.conf HibernateMode=shutdown Telcontar:~ # I get this message in syslog: > <4.4> 2019-02-28 03:52:59 Telcontar systemd-logind 1664 - - /etc/systemd/sleep.conf:1: Assignment outside of section. Ignoring. So I add a section: Telcontar:~ # cat /etc/systemd/sleep.conf [sleep] HibernateMode=shutdown Telcontar:~ # Now I get: <4.4> 2019-03-01 03:50:49 Telcontar systemd-logind 1639 - - /etc/systemd/sleep.conf:1: Unknown section 'sleep'. Ignoring. So, what is the correct syntax? Manual page systemd-sleep.conf(5) says: The following options can be configured in the "[Sleep]" section of /etc/systemd/sleep.conf or a sleep.conf.d file: SuspendMode=, HibernateMode=, HybridSleepMode= So the section is correct, isn't it? I don't understand :-( -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.0 x86_64 at Telcontar)

I see "xsane", but not "XSane-Scanner". The size of the PDF will depend on the resolution requested. For example, I scan an A4 page at 300 dpi and I get a 3.6 MiB PDF file, which is reasonable. Repeating with PNG the size is 3,5MiB. You can go to Preferences menu and you get a dialog. There, on filetype tab you can select some default options for each file type, like compressing PDF or not, or how much to compress JPG and PNG. > I found a script (http://www.alfredklomp.com/programming/shrinkpdf) on > the Web which uses ghostscript which reduce a 15.2Mb Xsane PDF to just > 1.4 Mb in size, so IMHO XSane developers should think to include a more > efficient compression routine to avoid the scanned PDF being created > with a so very big size. > > Thanks and regards, I prefer to generate PNG, and then convert to DJVU with a script. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.
