[opensuse] leap42.1 - how do I get the hostname displayed on the GUI login/lock screen?
by Per Jessen 17 Mar '17

$SUBJ says it all - I'm missing the hostname. When several PC are connected via a kvm switch it's handy being able to tell where you are logging in. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (4.6°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free dynamic DNS, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

Adding fonts?
by Tracer Bullet 22 Aug '16

22 Aug '16

Hi all, Reading some mails on the GIMP mail list, I ran across the procedure to install some more fonts for not only Gimp, but the system and StarOffice to use also. Well, I installed the fonts, went to the shell and issued the command xset fp+ <font directory> and then the rehash command and all fonts are there! Ok, that went well, but each time I restart the system, I have to do it all over again? Is there a way to make it permanent and read the new fonts like it does the ones the system installs or is that a no-no? end of line Tracer Shell commands: xset fp+ <new font directory> xset fp rehash -- ---KMail 1.2--- SuSE Linux v7.2--- Registered Linux User #225206 /tracerb(a)sprintmail.com/ *Magic Page Products* *Team Amiga* http://home.sprintmail.com/~tracerb

by cagsm 06 Jun '16

06 Jun '16

Good day, I am trying to find out of shorewall is supposed to work with 13.2 properly, as I read about systemd stuff being in the midst of creation and wicked and sort of that things that make it problematic to run something different from susefirewall2. Thanks for helping. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] I can not filter out some systemd messages in syslog
by Carlos E. R. 17 May '16

17 May '16

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I have this in "/etc/rsyslog.conf": if ($programname == 'named' or $syslogtag == '[named]:') \ then -/var/log/named & stop ... if ($msg contains 'Started Session' and $msg contains 'of user') \ then -/var/log/systemdpurged & stop # # the rest in one file # *.*;mail.none;news.none -/var/log/messages I get the expected entries in "/var/log/systemdpurged": <3.6> 2014-03-01 16:30:01 Telcontar systemd 1 - - Started Session 93 of user cer. <3.6> 2014-03-01 16:33:01 Telcontar systemd 1 - - Started Session 94 of user news. But I'm also getting them in "/var/log/messages": <3.6> 2014-03-01 16:30:01 Telcontar systemd 1 - - Starting Session 93 of user cer. <3.6> 2014-03-01 16:33:01 Telcontar systemd 1 - - Starting Session 94 of user news. And they should not be there. So the "stop" line for those systemd entries is not acting. However, it works for other sections, like the "named" section shown above, and others I do not show for clarity. Are systemd entries special? - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.

[opensuse] Leap - default install - out of space?
by Greg Freemyer 27 Jan '16

27 Jan '16

All, I setup a test install of Leap in a VM. Using BTRFS as per default. My first experience with BTRFS. This is purely for Leap experimentation so I hope 32GB is plenty. I accepted the default partition setup with a 32 GB drive. I have 100GB free on the underlying hypervisor filesystem, so that should not be an issue and I can easily re-install if the partition setup is just wrong. Per "df -h" I have a couple GB of freespace in / (root) and 16GB free in /home. But when I try to do anything I'm told I'm out of diskspace. Is this really how Leap is supposed to work? Not exactly user friendly. What is the immediate fix? Is there a long term fix?

[opensuse] memtest only seeing 48GB out of 64GB?
by Greg Freemyer 18 Jan '16

18 Jan '16

All, I have a new machine with 64GB per the bios (and the receipt). Windows 8.1 and Memtest are only reporting 48GB. Do I need to do anything, or do I have a defective RAM chip? Is there a Live Leap DVD I can try? == details I have a new custom-built desktop machine with 64GB or ram (in theory). Its a ASUS X99 mother board. It came with Windows 8.1 pre-loaded, but Windows is only reporting 48GB. As a first troubleshooting test I have a openSUSE 13.1 live DVD that I'm using to boot. The normal boot/kernel is halting, apparently due to a graphics issue. (I will try Leap if there's a live dvd?) The 13.1 failsafe boot works, but top is only showing 4GB. I assume that is a feature of failsafe. Memtest starts fine, but it is only reporting 48GB.

[opensuse] making iso from distribution bootable usb stick
by jdd 13 Jan '16

13 Jan '16

Hello, We all probably know several ways to create a bootable usb stick from an iso image. I have lot of them in my openSUSE booth kit. But from time to time, pretty rarely, I get a computer that do not want to boot my usb pen. I had that yesterday, a 32 bits computer that booted leap 64 usb (onbly to say it can't install it, of course), but refused to boot 13.2 32 bits (that booted perfectly on the next computer). So, as I don't want to keep several dvd with me, I would like to know how to extract the iso from the usb device to copy it to a blank dvd (I can have spare ones). optionally, I was said it's possible with debian usb pen to boot any (probably debian) media, plug the usb and continue install from there. Is it possible to do the same with openSUSE? If so, I could use a single boot dvd and run after this any usb pen in other words, is it possible to launch yast-install from the command line? thanks jss -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] KDE Connect
by John Andersen 12 Jan '16

12 Jan '16

If you run KDE and have an Android phone, and you haven't heard about this little gem you might want to look into it. Free app for the phone, and a plugin to the KDE system settings panel. I run it on KDE 4.xx on OS 13.2 as well as on KDE5/Plasma 5 on Manjaro Linux. Very slick for sending files, and not having to reach for your phone just see who is sending you messages, clipboard integration, and it even mutes your music on the computer when your phone rings. -- 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

[opensuse] New to desktop usage of Linux, is OpenSuSE the right distro for this use-case?
by cagsm 31 Dec '15

31 Dec '15

I recently tried Leap for a desktop machine, but e.g. Firefox would not play most web video sites, e.g. youtube or similar, sites telling me my setup was not supported, lacked codecs and stuff. I wonder if OpenSuSE has some copyright or licensing problems of to offer the codecs? Or is there a simple way to add all the missing stuff that maybe OpenSuSE cannot provide due ot legal reasons via other means? Packman? What other stuff am I missing with OpenSuSE as to-be desktop user? Maybe I should stick with Windows or Mac? Thank you in advance for giving a basic run-down for a Linux desktop noob. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
