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

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.

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.

Hi Folks,
I'm not sure this can be done, but I'd like to be able to watch
my Fox News channel :-) distributed by my cable
TV provider, in a resizeable window on my KDE desktop. I'm
currently doing this with a WinTV adapter based on the
Bt878 chipset. It's been working fine for many years, but
my cable provider is dropping all analog channels next month.
So it would be nice to be able to install a board that would
have HDMI input that would display on KDE the way tvtime
currently does. I'd be able to use a TiVo Mini if this were
possible. There seems to be some options, but they're
all targeted for Windows systems.
Does anyone have any experience displaying HDMI content
on a KDE Linux desktop? (audio too!)
Regards,
Lew

Back in the day, when I was still someone not entirely lost in the
world, I remember having had a personal wiki page on the OpenSUSE wiki.
I had collected some information that was relevant to me and created a
personal page, then linked to it from a community page on the same
subject, more or less.
Today, really, when I go to the wiki it doesn't seem inviting to me.
It seems badly organized or in any case doesn't invite reading.
I'm sure a lot of work has gone into it and there is probably a wealth
of information contained in these pages.
But it seems too BIG to find your way there. I do not know why.
Not straight away.
In this mailing list, the wiki is also never mentioned or linked to, as
far as I can tell.
A wiki usually is a place where there's room for individuality. A good
wiki invites users to make their own custom personal pages.
If a wiki is just used as "official documentation" then its maintainers
are also people in "official positions". But that doesn't create
community.
Back in the day, the first internet community in the Netherlands was the
/Digital City of Amsterdam/. Under the dds.nl domain, which still
operates, but no longer as the same thing, people created houses as part
of squares, streets, etc. I never much participated but they also had
the first chat rooms in the new internet era that they called "metros"
which were refreshing HTML pages.
It was a pretty vibrant community back then.
But such a thing functions because people /can do their own thing/.
It doesn't seem the same is true of OpenSUSE today.
[( Back then I posted some inflammatory opinions on the topic of mp3/dvd
codecs being supplied, and the lack of it making life really hard. But
it was on my personal page. I am still of the same opinion. People came
in though and tried to "make me see the light". I budged, and removed
some of the language. Still, I had a place, and there was a way for me
to "contribute". )].
Today there seems to be very little room for personal contribution.
Usually people want you to do some kind of work in some kind of official
capacity.
When back in the day I was a frequent visitor of that wiki, today I
don't care for it at all. And it is not because I have changed. I am
still the same person.
We seem to be living in a different world.
So a wiki needs to be a bit messy. The way a real neighbourhood is
messy. It can't be perfectly aligned and organized because that means
the barrier to entry becomes really high.
The pages can't reside /too deep/ and I think this is the case today a
bit, I believe.
The wiki is also just a tiny link at the bottom of a very commercial
front page.
A front page the likes of many front pages these days that seem only to
be intended for tablet viewing. They are horrible to use on a real
computer. These modern day webpages, and their layout, with the BIG
IMAGES and the BIG TEXT and you have to SCROLL THE ENTIRE PAGE just to
see the NEXT LINE OF TEXt and it is just a flawed concept. It is a
broken concept. It doesn't work.
It is pretty but it doesn't work. It is not a website for people to feel
at home in. It is really a front page that scares you away: YOU DO NOT
WANT TO REVISIT THAT PAGE if you don't have to.
There is probably a lot of blabla going on in the design community as to
how wonderful they are, but yeah.
I am saying we have seen a deteroriation compared to what we had in the
past.
It is 80% regression and 20% progress.
The front page scares you away, and the wiki is not inviting. That is
two main elements of an internet community.
The forums do not really foster community, they are also tightly
controlled with a certain marketing goal in mind.
I was more content with OpenSUSE in the past. Maybe 5x more.
Ubuntu.com also has a front page like that, better or more usable than
OpenSUSE's, but it still communicates right away: this is NOT a
community site where you have your own account. "Community" is a TINY
link and when you click on it you see a big crowd but it definitely
doesn't feel as a place to feel at home in.
It scares people off and doesn't invite them in. And I am wondering here
how many of you have the same feeling? *I* for the life of me cannot
change a thing like that. I had no part in its construction, and I could
never improve any of it; it is way beyond my control. 'Reading someone
else's code is a horror anyway, and improving someone else's product is
not a lot of fun'. But certainly what I say today must not come as a
suprise, or come across as something alien to more people here?
Does this resonate with anyone?
Regards, Xen.

As Carlos never caused me any harm and helped me on several occasions I would also second his reinstatement
at the first possible occasion.
This would allow him to continue his useful contribution. And if such a measure (ban) wants to be useful, it can only be it
through its very time limitless.
Isn't it? Otherwise we would send all people sooner or later for "renewal" as in 1976's "Logan's run".
So +1 from me.

First of all thank you to all who replied (also to Carlos ER who replied, given current restrictions off list and was - as times before - helpful). Special thanks also to jdd for his heads-up pointing to the commercial version "Vuescan" (where the only thing that I do not understand yet is the SANE problematic. I wonder if that solution gives also drivers for Canon 4200 and 8100F etc who are chronically long-time-no-served. I am currently using a Canon 210 that is primitive but marvellously supported by SANE. Simple-Scan was the solution I did use on 13.2 before.
I found myself quite satisfied (although verrrry shaky with a lot of crashes) with the (g)scan2pdf application. This is the first time I see something that offers integration of tesseract (a gift that has not really been used to a full extend yet). I particularly liked the results in colour, I think however that the devised floating menu with settings is a bit cumbersome (coming from omnipage pro where I would have been happy if it would have been available for linux). However from a resources point of view, useful scanning needs IMO a 4-8 core CPU with 8-32 GB of RAM where for colour scan I would go for a minimum of 16 GB. Otherwise it is getting masochism.
So my personal classification of usability and completeness is at the end:
(g)scan2pdf (although stability should be better).
Simple-Scan
Scanlite
For who is coming by these days and want to install (g)scan2pdf in leap, you have to take the unstable version and use also a supplementary phyton repo for the dependencies. This because there is a gtk2 dependency to be fulfilled. Once done the repoadd
installation was (in my case Leap) straightforward.
It would be nice to have a native kde app for this but I know, resources are scarce.
I will have a close look to Vuescan too. It seems that all in all in this aspect some advances (although still timid) have been achieved. Scanning is still one of the "open" fields in Linux to make the desktop experience complete.
Still I wouldn't go back to windows not even for payment
Still, thank you all for your input.
P.S. xscan I didn't try, so I do not comment, others may want to have a look.

I was thinking initially at a resume problem, but in fact iyt's only a
random crash: sometime the computer stop with a black screen just after
the grub menu, else it starts normally.
no log at this time
is this the right mailing list to report (bug filled)?
thanks
jdd

I guess because YT tries to detect what you have available, flash
and/or html5. If it tries flash first, as it is blocked, it thinks you
don't have it, so it turns to html5, which not all videos have it, and
then it fails. Sometimes it plays audio, no video. You have to restart
the video (rewind), sometimes it works. Others, reload page.

You can turn it off automatically on youtube. It is simple to do.
