[opensuse] OT: How to enable youtube html5 without cookies?
by Daniel Bauer 16 Jul '15

16 Jul '15

Hi, due to the flash topic on this list I encountered again the following: Any video on youtube in firefox or seamonkey shows the flash placeholder (asking me, if I want to enable flash this time, according to my settings) But I'd like to see the html5-version... So I go to https://www.youtube.com/html5 which sets a cookie and then it works - until I close the browser, because I allow session cookies only. I do definitively not want youtube, google etc. to have persistent cookies in my browser. Is there any other way to make html5 on youtube to default, without the need to set the cockie again in every session? Hints are welcome...

[opensuse] list search by date broken?
by Chris Murphy 16 Jul '15

16 Jul '15

I already emailed ml-admin@ but just thought I'd see if anyone else can reproduce this. If I go here: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/ And in the search field on the left click either magnifying glass icon, I get to a simple search field. Click on advanced search and then only change three fields from default: Search for: btrfs Date Range: 2015/06/01 to 2015/07/14 6947 most of which are not this year, let alone inside the range specified. If I go back and try again with the timeframe field instead, any option: yesterday, today, this week, this month... all of them give the same results. Seems broken. -- Chris Murphy -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] version numbers
by gumb 15 Jul '15

15 Jul '15

Am I being dim here or is something amiss with how YaST determines superior version numbers for packages? I'm looking at some files in the Packman repo, and which are only available from that repo and none others that I have installed, but I'm seeing this: libavcodec56 installed: 2.7-1.3 available: 2.7.1-1.8 The line is marked in blue on the basis that the available package is newer / superior. But this goes against my presumed logic. I'd always regarded the numbers following a dash as effectively irrelevant, at least as far as openSUSE is concerned, and only referring to different builds of otherwise identical packages. So I'd assumed that these package options are, putting build numbers aside: installed: 2.7.3 available: 2.7.1.8 And I don't get how that makes the available package newer? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Systemd introduced problem
by Frans de Boer 14 Jul '15

14 Jul '15

If have a problem with the next command: seq 1 inf | head -n2 Under KDE, kconsole as regular user the output is 1 2 and stops here, just as expected. However, the same environment as user root, or on the system console as any user the output is 1 2 and then hangs because the pipe seems not broken and seq keeps on running. The same happens when doing 'cat <some file> | head -n<any number>' I see numerous occurrences in the systemd unit files with the directive IgnoreSIGPIPE=no, which should avoid just this problem. Oh, some extra info, I am using OpenSuse 13.2 64-bit and 32-bit. The problem exist only on the 64-bit systems. So what is the reason?

[opensuse] Starting last snapshots
by andredo＠wxs.nl 13 Jul '15

13 Jul '15

20150612 reached the 'K' in the lower left corner, so I could manage some programs. very carefully because the slightest deviation with the curser led to a crash. 20150630 came to a small green rectangle in the lower left corner and some times, after a waitingtime of some ten minutes to a choice of some unknown session. When I made a choice the machine felt back to the small green rectangle. A further trial led to a crash. 20150702 did not even come to the small green rectangle when it crashed. What can this openSUSE user since the last twenty years do?

[opensuse] zypper 'dup' & 've' disagree; zypper keeps wanting to deinstall Dolphin ?
by robert.devanna＠nospammail.net 13 Jul '15

I'm working on an Opensuse 13.2, getting next-gen KDE (plasma5 + KF5 + etc) up & running. After installing/upgrading the needed changes, zypper tells me zypper dup ... Nothing to do. But when I verify with zypper zypper ve Loading repository data...

[opensuse] NoScript Flaw
by Basil Chupin 13 Jul '15

13 Jul '15

Mozilla’s script blocker add-on could be putting malware sites on the whitelist. Security researchers have discovered a major flaw with Mozilla’s popular NoScript security add-on. NoScript is supposed to create an environment where JavaScript, Java, and other executable content can only run in scripts that come from a trusted domain. According to Detectify researcher Linus Särud, NoScript whitelists the entire googleapis.com domain and any subdomain, which means an attacker could create a nefarious script that uses Google services APIs to bypass NoScript. The discovery follows an earlier project by Matthew Bryant, who successfully launched an attack that bypassed whitelist protections. It isn’t clear whether attackers are already using this technique. The discovery challenges the prestige of the Mozilla NoScript plugin, which bills itself as “The best security you can get in a web browser!” According to a report in the Register, the NoScript team immediately responded by adapting the tool to whitelist only Google's hosted libraries at ajax.googleapis.com, which should reduce the threat, although it might require more intervention from the user to get any necessary legitimate sites whitelisted. Users are encouraged to install updates. Bryant adds, “Please purge your whitelist. Remove everything you don’t trust.” http://www.linux-magazine.com/Online/News/NoScript-Flaw BC -- Using openSUSE 13.2, KDE 4.14.6 & kernel 4.1.1-0 on a system with- AMD FX 8-core 3.6/4.2GHz processor 16GB PC14900/1866MHz Quad Channel RAM Gigabyte AMD3+ m/board; Gigabyte nVidia GTX660 GPU -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
