put verion sig in these messages?
by Doug McGarrett 07 Dec '20

07 Dec '20

Someone suggested that I should put a sig with the version and system in these messages, and, I guess, the desktop type. I can create the version/system from a terminal with head -2 /etc/os-release but this doesn't get it into an email, nor does it mention that I'm using KDE. I think this is a useful suggestion, but I don't know how to implement it. (Using Thunderbird Mail.) doug@linux1:~> head -2 /etc/os-release NAME="openSUSE Tumbleweed" # VERSION="20201203" --dm

openSUSE Leap 15.2 - Scanner problem with Paper size
by michael.kasimir＠gmx.de 07 Dec '20

07 Dec '20

Hi, xsane-0.999-lp151.2.3.x86_64.rpm simple-scan-3.34.2-lp152.1.4.x86_64.rpm skanlite-2.1.0.1-lp152.3.13.x86_64.rpm and the correct adaptions of SANE to the HP Scanjet 5300c have been made. If I try to scan e.g. an A4 page (210 x 297 mm) in 200 x 200 dpi scanning works. In the basic menue the following parameters are shown: 1648 *2326*24 (11,0MB) 209,49 mm x 296,16 mm In the previewer of the scan the size is indicated as 1648 * 4652 pixel, ..., 200 dpi x 200 dpi If I save the scanned as page .pdf it has the double height (as indicated by the above values) What can I do now? Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Kind regards Michael Kasimir Be Free, Be Linux

[opensuse-support] Compiling regard3d
by Jogchum Reitsma 06 Dec '20

06 Dec '20

Hi, Is there anyone here who has successfully compiled regard2d? As stated on the project site, ",It converts photos of an object, taken from different angles, into a 3D model of this object." The main site is at https://www.regard3d.org/index.php. There is no Linux binary available, let alone an rpm-package for OpenSuse. There is a link to instructions for compiling it on Linux, and, following that, I tried to compile the first part (OpenMVG), but it halts at MainWindow.cc:(.text+0x30d1): undefined reference to `image_undistort_gui::MainWindow::staticMetaObject' From there I'm to less a programmer as to know how to proceed. Anyone who has compiled this, or wants to guide me in how to make this a success? Any help appreciated! regards, Jogchum

[opensuse-support][15.2] yast2 brother printer setup fails
by Felix Miata 06 Dec '20

06 Dec '20

These are to a test PC. The HL5470DW was set up on my main PC running whichever Leap was installed at the time, possibly 42.1, which has been upgraded to each subsequent release through 15.1, and it's still working as expected. https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Brother_How_to_setup_a_Networked_Printer_Scanner shows last tested with Leap 42.1. :( Two different Brother IP printers connected via ethernet: HL-5470DW MFC-8910DW Each is configured with a static IP (V4 only, same as rest of LAN). I installed all supposedly appropriate drivers from Brother website using zypper, which pulled in cups and other deps, successfully AFAICT: # zypper se -si 8910 5470 ... i+ | hl5470dwcupswrapper | package | 3.0.0-1 | i386 | (System Packages) i+ | hl5470dwlpr | package | 3.0.0-1 | i386 | (System Packages) i+ | mfc8910dwcupswrapper | package | 3.0.0-1 | i386 | (System Packages) i+ | mfc8910dwlpr | package | 3.0.0-1 | i386 | (System Packages) YaST2 found both printers, and apparently accepted their setup without error messages. SeaMonkey found both printers' web pages by IP address, reporting in sleep mode, and no option for printing a test page that I could ID. Print test pages failed for both. /var/log/cups/error_log: E [04/Dec/2020:01:16:20 -0500] Unable to open listen socket for address [v1.::1]:631 - Address family not supported by protocol.

I then tried using Brother's Linux installation script. This produced two symbolic link already exists errors, an unsupported document format error for "text/plain", and no such file or directory for /etc/sane.d/dll.conf, plus the test print pages never materialized. Afterward, YaST2 reports 2 of each printer, so 4 in total. I tried opening http://localhost:631/admin to see the same 4 printers, with 3 idle, and one 8910 status "unable to locate printer "BRNMFC8910", which I then canceled. I then tried to print a test page, and received a no such file or directory error. Tail of /var/log/cups/error_log then contained: E [04/Dec/2020:02:55:43 -0500] [Client 210] Returning IPP client-error-document-format-not-supported for Send-Document (ipp://localhost:631/printers/HL5470DW) from localhost E [04/Dec/2020:03:12:09 -0500] [Client 237] Empty Basic username.

Same result for the other printer. # journalctl -b | egrep -i 'ailed|rror' produces nothing related to any printer, as dmesg shows, unless 'broken atomic modeset userspace' counts. Where to I go from here? Is this a YaST2 thing? Basesystem? Cups?

I wish to watch Netflix. Messages say need latest Firefox. Downloaded and unzipped the firefox-83.0.tar.bz2 file, which produced a large directory, but no readme, and nothing that looks like I can go further. So what now, experts? Thanx for the help--doug

It is preferable that you copy paste from terminal directly, do not try to describe what happens.

No Recording Devices Available after Leak 15.1->15.2 upgrade
by Gerhard Theurich 04 Dec '20

04 Dec '20

Hi, I just noticed a new issue after the Leap 15.1->15.2 upgrade. With 15.1 I was able to use my laptop's internal microphone (e.g. on Meet calls), or alternatively my head-set mic when connected via Bluetooth. Neither option is available after the upgrade to Leap 15.2. Under the the Audio System Settings it says: No Recording Devices Available". See screenshot. Is this a known issue? I searched but did not come a cross a solution yet that worked for my case. Best, -Gerhard

External monitor does not wake up (HDMI dead after powersafe)
by Gerhard Theurich 03 Dec '20

03 Dec '20

Hi again, Running Leap 15.2 (5.3.18-lp152.50-default) on an HP ENVY x360 15m-dr0012dx. I have this issue with the external HDMI port that goes dead and does not wake up after long off mode, e.g. through the night. I see these errors in the logs, which I think are related to the issue: Dec 03 05:43:00 breve kernel: [drm:intel_dp_start_link_train [i915]] *ERROR* failed to enable link training Dec 03 05:43:00 breve kernel: [drm:lspcon_write_infoframe [i915]] *ERROR* Failed to read AVI IF control Dec 03 05:43:00 breve kernel: [drm:lspcon_write_infoframe [i915]] *ERROR* Failed to write AVI infoframes Dec 03 05:43:02 breve kernel: [drm:intel_dp_start_link_train [i915]] *ERROR* failed to enable link training Dec 03 05:43:03 breve kernel: [drm:lspcon_write_infoframe [i915]] *ERROR* Failed to read AVI IF control Dec 03 05:43:03 breve kernel: [drm:lspcon_write_infoframe [i915]] *ERROR* Failed to write AVI infoframes Dec 03 05:43:03 breve kernel: [drm:drm_lspcon_set_mode [drm_kms_helper]] *ERROR* LSPCON mode change timed out Dec 03 05:43:03 breve kernel: [drm:lspcon_change_mode.constprop.5 [i915]] *ERROR* LSPCON mode change failed Dec 03 05:43:03 breve kernel: [drm:intel_dp_detect [i915]] *ERROR* LSPCON resume failed Dec 03 05:43:04 breve kernel: [drm:lspcon_wait_mode [i915]] *ERROR* LSPCON mode hasn't settled Dec 03 05:43:04 breve kernel: [drm:drm_lspcon_set_mode [drm_kms_helper]] *ERROR* LSPCON mode change timed out Dec 03 05:43:04 breve kernel: [drm:lspcon_change_mode.constprop.5 [i915]] *ERROR* LSPCON mode change failed Dec 03 05:43:04 breve kernel: [drm:intel_dp_detect [i915]] *ERROR* LSPCON resume failed From lspci I get this for the graphics controller: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation UHD Graphics 620 (Whiskey Lake) (rev 02) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device 85e6 Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 146 Memory at a0000000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16M] Memory at 90000000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=256M] I/O ports at 3000 [size=64] [virtual] Expansion ROM at 000c0000 [disabled] [size=128K] Capabilities: [40] Vendor Specific Information: Len=0c <?> Capabilities: [70] Express Root Complex Integrated Endpoint, MSI 00 Capabilities: [ac] MSI: Enable+ Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit- Capabilities: [d0] Power Management version 2 Capabilities: [100] Process Address Space ID (PASID) Capabilities: [200] Address Translation Service (ATS) Capabilities: [300] Page Request Interface (PRI) Kernel driver in use: i915 Kernel modules: i915 Once the HDMI is dead, only a reboot seems to bring it back to life.

video driver s/w
by Doug McGarrett 03 Dec '20

03 Dec '20

If have found that certain video clips from YouTube won't play because I don't have the proper software. I don't know what that software may be. I also got a message from a non-YouTube source that says, "This video file cannot be played. (Error Code: 4370637)" I'm running TW, recently upgraded (late November.) Is there some software available that would play these files, which I must assume would play in Windows? --doug
