[opensuse-support] new install

Well, I got there. This version of OS-TW--2020.0702--seems to be a little more obscure than the year-old one I had before the machine crashed. I don't even see a listing in the application Launcher for YAST, but when I find out how to get that and put its icon on the desktop, I need a tutorial as to how to find out what's in it and how to use it. F'rinstance: I'm told that Master PDF Editor exists in YAST somewhere-- how do I find it? As to other applications that I found fairly quickly in the year-old version, I'm looking for the Dolphin-like file-manager that runs in a root environment, (I don't remember what it was called,) for the Find Files app, and other things that don't come to mind at the moment. And yes, the nay-sayers that told me my partitioning would make Suse unhappy were correct. I let it do it's thing, and I haven't looked in gparted (how do I find that, also?) to see what it did. So thanx for the guidance along the way--this afternoon I bit the bullet and said "now is the time" even tho I was unable to do a Windows recovery--it didn't like my NTFS-formatted flash drives--two of them! So right now, I don't even nw if Windows is still there! --doug PS: How to I make Thunderbird single-space? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-support] new TW install quesion
by Doug 03 Jul '20

03 Jul '20

I have down-loaded OS-TW today (26 June) and burned it to DVD. I want to ADD it to a Windows system on a new computer. I have partitioned the SSD as follows: P1 EFS sys fat32 P2 Microsoft reserved p3 Basic data ntfs P5 / ext4 46 GiB boot,esp P6 /home ext 234 GiB P7 linux swap 27 GiB p4 ntfs Basic data parttion (windows) I had OpenSuse installed before, but on a computer that went to computer heaven--or hell? --and had no trouble with dual booting, but in this case, the new computer came with no Windows disk or microsoft key, so if I louse it up, there will be a problem getting software, and I would like to keep the Windows part, even tho severely attenuated, and I'm not sure the new software supports dual boot. If the partitioning scheme could be better, I can still modify it, if necessary--like is there too much space for P5? I doubt that I will use up P6, ao I don't really need the space. (I have stuck with ext4 since other Linux systems use it and can read files written to that FS.) There has been some correspondence on the net that says that after update, the system won't boot. Is this going to be a problem with this version? Please advise. --doug -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner(a)opensuse.org

I'd tried that and sadly it didn't. Something seems to be blocking all audio devices from working in Skype, though they do work with other apps.

[opensuse-support] Switching language for a single user
by Axel Braun 28 Jun '20

28 Jun '20

Hi, I'm currently struggeling with the setup of a user in a different language. The system-language is german, and the user language in KDE is set to English (which worked only after installing a second language in KDE - https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=422636 ) KDE and most KDE programs come up in English, but other programs - VirtualBox, Audacity, VLC still come up in german (-lang files installed) test@X1E:~> export | grep LANG declare -x LANG="de_DE.UTF-8" declare -x LANGUAGE="en_US:de" The second setting is probably made by KDE. Is there a way to get this single user fully set up in English? Ideally in a simple manner for non-experienced users?

[opensuse-support] Zoom works; Skype doesn't
by Robin Klitscher 27 Jun '20

27 Jun '20

The desktop system is: Operating System: openSUSE Leap 15.1 KDE Plasma Version: 5.19.2 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.71.0 Qt Version: 5.15.0 Kernel Version: 4.12.14-lp151.28.52-default OS Type: 64-bit Processors: 8 × Intel® Core™ i7-4770 CPU @ 3.40GHz ....with an external USB Webcam, Logitech 930e. The webcam including inbuilt mic, and sound playback, all work perfectly in Zoom. But Skype doesn't detect any of the camera, the camera's microphone, or the speakers. Zoom is at 5.1.412382.0614_openSUSE-1.x86_64 Skype is at skypeforlinux-8.61.0.95-1.x86_64 I've trawled the internet extensively and found much advice and/or workarounds for the problem, but none of it works for me. I've tried uninstalling and re-installing Skype, including backleveled versions and even a Snap install. But Skype still flatly refuses to "see" the camera, the mic or the speakers, though Zoom (and vlc) have no such problem. If anyone has any bright ideas I'd very much like to hear them. -- Robin K Wellington "Harbour City" New Zealand -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner(a)opensuse.org

This referenced package is a wrapper package for GCC, and used in Tumbleweed. The current version is already gcc-10-1.13. Tumbleweed is a rolling release and does not release security advisories.
