Today I got Windows 10 installed. What and how should I adjust in the BIOS to make install of openSUSE 13.2 possible? Thanks, André den Oudsten -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Strange Hard Drive Behavior
by Billie Walsh 11 Aug '15

11 Aug '15

Didn't want to hijack the hard drive controller thread so............. I have a computer that says there is no hard drive when turned on. Then goes ahead and boots just fine. A few weeks ago my Windows computer popped up a warning that the hard drive was in imminent danger of dying do to mechanical issues. I immediately moved all the important information off the hard drive. Bought a new drive and cloned the old one. Now the computer says no bootable drive then boots as normal. -- A cat is a puzzle with no solution. Cats are tiny little women in fur coats.

[opensuse] LibreOffice 5 / Python Macros = failure (#NAME? error)
by andreil1＠starlett.lv 10 Aug '15

10 Aug '15

Hi, I have OpenSUSE 13.2 x64, and today I updated LibreOffice to version 5. Unfortunately, all python Macros stopped working (#NAME? error everywhere). LibreOffice 5 uses one of these config dirs (depending upon build, either from LibreOffice.org either from SuSE factory) for storing Macros: ~user/.config/libreoffice/4 or ~user/.config/libreoffice/4-suse All python Macros are here, and were working with LibreOffice 4.x just prior upgrade to v5. Security setting are the same as before, allowing execution of macros. Tools -> Organize -> macros -> Python Macros - still lists all of them. Anyone have any idea what went wrong? Thanks in advance.

[opensuse] Windows 10 update and openSUSE
by jdd 08 Aug '15

08 Aug '15

Hello, I have a demo laptop with initially windows 8 (touch screen). Asus ultrabook, 500Gb HDD and, pretty well hidden, a small 25Gb SSD. UEFI, GPT, secure boot, all to please :-), smart mac book air like computer (but bigger and cheaper :-) Pretty soon, I upgraded windows 8 to 8.1, with no real better pleasure. Then I shrunk windows and installed openSUSE 13.2... on the SSD, getting a pretty fast result. Then I installed Leap, then an other 13 2, immediately upgrade as Tumbleweed (only way I could install tumbleweed)... So far so good. Then I waited to Windows 10. Got the Message "register", did it, and in July 29 booted Windows and waited... all night... nothing. Yesterday morning, at last, booting Windows, I got the message: Do you want Windows 10. Answered "Yes". Got a screen saying: There are three steps to get Windows 10, Registering (done), downloading (done), upgrading (yes/no). So, like read on the web, Windows 10 was probably dl in the background at some moment. I said "upgrade", and immediately got a "reboot" screen. Just a word here: my default boot is, of course, openSUSE, so when the computer reboot, I get... openSUSE, and have to get off then on being in front on the laptop, to press the down key to the windows grub entry. I had to do this many times so reboot, got a screen "relax, your computer will reboot three time", with images of the three steps: writing files, installing, setting up that was yesterday. As every step was pretty long I didn't stay on front of the computer, and don't know exactly how long it was. Like this the install was only finished this morning (one step more, upgrading my anti-virus software). And there are nearly no difference with the previous uninstall, safe a recovered start menu with the "sliding icons" included. but the main good news is that openSUSE was completely unaffected by the upgrade. last word: Windows 10 asked me to do a "usual config" and I had to search on screen to find a very little link "config" and get a screen where I refused to send all what I do on the computer to Microsoft as suggested jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] OBS tests fail after building package
by auxsvr 07 Aug '15

07 Aug '15

Hello, I'm trying to build a package[1] that fixes several problems with google-earth. It builds fine and works locally, but the OBS performs some tests after the package is built, which fail. Since it depends on google-earth, which cannot be installed in the OBS as far as I know, is there a way to prevent these tests from running? -------- [1] https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:auxsvr/google-earth-fix -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] substitute win key
by Patrick Shanahan 07 Aug '15

I use a very old Gateway 2000 programmable keyboard made by AnyKey, circa 1992, which was made before win keys were on keyboards. I want to change one of the "extra" keys to function as the win key.

[opensuse] firewall message
by Fr David Ousley 06 Aug '15

06 Aug '15

This message keeps showing up repeatedly in the journalctl log: Aug 05 21:29:43 linux2 kernel: SFW2-INext-DROP-DEFLT IN=enp3s0 OUT= MAC=33:33:00:00:00:fb:a0:88:b4:c5:99:9c:86:dd SRC=fe80:0000:0000:0000:c534:6352:2873:f469 DST=ff02:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:00fb LEN=88 I gather it has to do with the firewall. The MAC address does not seem to match any of the devices on the local network (which is small). Can anyone tell me what it means and what I should do about it? Running OpenSuse 13.2, wired ethernet connection to router. Thanks.

[opensuse] Title hijacking
by Ottavio Caruso 06 Aug '15

06 Aug '15

I'm still new to this mailing list, so please forgive my naivety. It looks to me there is a number of users here who hijack and fork the thread title all the time, presumably to fool killfiles and filters, or simply for plain stupidity. I remember back in the dark days when I was on the Debian mailing lists, this was frowned upon. I would like to hear your opinions about it, as long as you keep the title intact. -- Ottavio -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
