[opensuse] Architecture change (upgrade from x86 to x86_64) via offline install (iso image written to usb key) possible?
by cagsm 17 Dec '14

Hello, thanks for giving a quick hint. Is architecture change (upgrade from x86 to x86_64) via offline install (iso image written to usb key) possible? Currently some 12.3 32bit needs to upgrade to x64. Can I also specify an additional local hdd folder where a local copy of the http://download.opensuse.org/update/12.3/ is saved to so that the offline upgrade via the iso image from the usb key uses the endless updates that had been released in the mean time since 12.3 wen vanilla? What way could I specify an additional repository place or folder during that offline install so that it makes use of the latest patches as best as possible? Am I doing it wrong? Thanks for helping. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] 13.2 (LXDE) - cursor-select weirdness
by listreader 16 Dec '14

16 Dec '14

Howdy... :~> uname -a Linux msbhpmain.site 3.16.6-2-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Oct 20 13:47:22 UTC 2014 (feb42ea) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Desktop is LXDE (GTK version that ships in 13.2, not QT version). Using the mouse or keyboard to select an area of text does not "stick". A fraction of a second after selecting the area, the highlight disappears and the selected area is no longer marked. Example: after mouse-selecting an area of text to delete from a writable document, before I can press the 'delete' key the selection area is unmarked and if I press 'delete' key at this point the only thing deleted is the spot where the cursor is, at the end of the area I intended to delete. Apparently the selected area HAS been copied to the clipboard (it's visible in parcellite) and then deselected in the actual document. This is different from the expected action and different from previous versions. It's also extremely annoying. Question: Is this a bug, or an intended new 'feature', or simply a misconfiguration somewhere in my setup? Thanks in advance for any clues.

[opensuse] Dropbox issues with encrypted homes
by John Andersen 15 Dec '14

15 Dec '14

I notice the Dropbox package on 13.2 repositories is hopeless out of date, and that Dropbox likes to download and install itself in ~/.dropbox.dist where it is at least almost up to date. Once Dropbox gets itself installed there, the system package doesn't need to be installed at all and usually fails to launch. Even if it does launch it requires re-linking your drobbox account (essentially re-setting-up) on EVERY reboot, especially if you have an encrypted home partition. It seems the default package tries to launch before I have a chance to key in my decryption password. I've found that deleting the opensuse package, and just running with what dropbox installs in ~/.dropbox-dist works fine. (I softlinked link ~/.dropbox-dist/dropboxd to ~/bin/dropbox). This launches without any problems upon reboot. -- After all is said and done, more is said than done. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
