[opensuse-support] Incorrect date handling in Libre Office calc
by Carlos E. R. 21 Jan '19

21 Jan '19

Also, I have a column of dates that were entered as text by the originator of the page (XLS format): 03/12/2018 03/12/2018 03/12/2018 Previously, I would simply do a search and replace on the range, replacing every '/' with '/', and they were converted instantly to dates. But now I get this instead: 03/12/18 03/12/18 03/12/18 03/12/18 03/12/18 04/12/18 04/12/18 07/12/18 07/12/18 10/12/18 10/12/18 13/12/2018 17/12/2018 17/12/2018 17/12/2018 18/12/2018 21/12/2018 21/12/2018 27/12/2018 28/12/2018 28/12/2018 31/12/2018 02/01/19 02/01/19 02/01/19 07/01/19 11/01/19 14/01/2019 16/01/2019 21/01/2019 I have to copy paste to another calc sheet, without format, meaning it takes the format of the destination cells; then some of the cells on edit show a preceding «'» meaning they are text. Then I can search and replace a second time. What is going on? This did not happen on 42.3. XFCE on 15.0 Default LO version -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.0 x86_64 at Telcontar)

[opensuse-support] I managed to crash gimp two times with the same photo save.
by Carlos E. R. 21 Jan '19

21 Jan '19

Hi, I scanned a document at 600dpi, then used "save/export clean" to jpg, and gimp crashed silently. The file was saved, though. I opened gimp again, scanned the same document without changing any setting, did "save/export clean" to another jpg file, and it crashed again. So I repeated a third time, but this time I started gimp from the terminal, to try see some message... but it did not crash. So I have no info... gimp-2.8.22-lp150.3.8.x86_64 -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.0 x86_64 at Telcontar)

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

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)
