[opensuse] Virtualbox lost
by Albert Oszkó 23 Jul '15

23 Jul '15

Hi all, I have (had) vbox from Oracle to run win7 when I have some work with a win only application. That was the case today, but vbox stopped working. The system said I did not even have an installed vbox. With some difficulty I removed it, then tried to reinstall, but it did not succeed. The installer says after some seconds, that the user (me?) aborted the installation. I have oS 13.2_x64 with kde 4.14.9 on an uefi laptop Any help is welcome.

[opensuse] FF39 - Can openSuSE package it without the commercial add-on garbage?
by David C. Rankin 22 Jul '15

22 Jul '15

All, Looking at the security threads, I updated which pulled in FF39. I started it, and -- of course -- there is all kinds of unwanted crap on the toolbar. --> But this crosses a line <-- The first unknown button I click on is something called "Save to Pocket" WTF?? A little more digging and I find it is a damn add-on that is for some reason on the toolbar. Looking further, it requires a NEW ACCOUNT to use. (of course you can sign up for an initial FREE account...) WTF is wrong with these people?? Since when does Mozilla start providing free toolbar advertising space for add-on developers and, more importantly, what is that garbage doing on my toolbar? When blatant unrelated garbage like this is pushed on to the toolbar, can openSuSE package a clean version without it? It is getting pathetic.... -- David C.

[opensuse] filtering "unknown" email messages
by eddie 21 Jul '15

21 Jul '15

Hi For a while now I have been getting email messages that are blank with regards to from. I would like to filter all such messages to the trash. However, creating a filter with blank captures all mails, while creating a filter with "Unknown" captures nothing. I am using kmail 4.14.9. Here an example of the headers taken from one such email MIME-Version: 1.0 From: Subject: ➤Keep Your Family Insured with Private Medical Insurance Starting as low as £9.99/mo! Does anyone know if a simple solution, please? Thanks Eddie -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Question about Thunderbird calendar
by Carlos E. R. 21 Jul '15

21 Jul '15

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hi, Since the recent update to Thunderbird, it comes with the calendar "plugin" included (Lightning). Now, I would like to sync this calendar with Google, which I already have in my phone and tablet. Without that, the addition is useless to me. There was a mention when first starting the app today about other addons to do just this, but no recommendation about which to use. And that's what I would like to ask, if anybody is using something that works well, to sync Thunderbird calendar with Google calendar? - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.

I understand the rationalization, it's easier to get to bootable snapshots and rollbacks this way. I just disagree with a.) taking the user's feature and control away from them, b.) making the boot process essentially invisible when it comes to what subvolume is being used. -- Chris Murphy -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

Two otherwise conventional fstabs, except no swap entries, still works with a single GPT linux swap partition type GUID set. -- Chris Murphy -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] okular sucks
by Per Jessen 20 Jul '15

20 Jul '15

I have to vent my anger and frustration somewhere ..... okular really does not cut it for office work. For a whole hour now I've been trying to get it to print a PDF document with stamps on C5 envelopes, but without success. With Acrobat Reader this was no big deal, done in 5 minutes. With Okular, either I get nothing, something in the wrong format (wasted envelopes) or the job hangs in cups as "pending". I was aiming at getting a stack of invoices to the postoffice before it closes at 18, fat chance.

[opensuse] Patronising attitudes and off-topic bigotry
by Dylan 20 Jul '15

20 Jul '15

Goodbye list, It's been OK-ish, I suppose, but the general attitude towards inexperienced users is often patronising if not downright rude and dismissive, and the recent bigoted off-topic posts (in more than one thread) mean I can't stick around here.
