[opensuse] Wicked-manager ?
by Koenraad Lelong 15 Sep '15

15 Sep '15

Hi, I was using Network manager, but when I booted this morning it was gone. What I mean, the tray-applet didn't work any more. Yesterday I did some investigations in Yast concerning networks, maybe I did something wrong because this morning Network services were disabled. When I tried to enable them in Yast, only Wicked was the choice. Enabling that gave me back my network, but then I couldn't select which (wireless) networks I want to use, or start the VPN's I have. googling told me how to get Network-manager back, so that's OK. Another thing I found however is that it seems Wicked is the future. Is there something similar to the Network-manager applet to control Wicked ? Thanks.

[opensuse] converting text to table
by Istvan Gabor 14 Sep '15

14 Sep '15

Hello: I would lie to convert a simple ascii or utf8 encoded textfile to a table. The text has no delimiters between columns, but each column in the text file has its specific character lenght. For example in each row of the text characters 1-10 should go into column 1, characters 12-19 into column 2 etc. Is this possible, how? Thanks, Istvan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

This is the way they do with ktp. so one could do a printer pattern by producer. All this said: this does not take into account the limited (and not so well paid if ever) human resources of the project. Every atomization of the work-flow will cost resources. If the packaging process once set up is automatic the latter argument does obviously not hold. While I personally understand to install the less possible, for reasons of new users coming from outside of the linux world (that have been told that it is not compatible bla bla bla, I would rather stick for hardware driver (like printer) to install all OSS drivers available. These are not a humongous load. Of course if HP, Lexmark, Samsung want to insist on proprietary stuff they should end up in separate packages to be on demand. Just my thoughts about that exchange you had here. Saluti, Saludos, Cheers, :-) --- Alle Postfächer an einem Ort.

[opensuse] FF 40 bookmark diagoue -- gone?
by Anton Aylward 13 Sep '15

I seem to be missing the bookmark dialogue I once had. The ctrl-D used to let me specify the folder in the bookmarks, tags and comment. This doesn't happen any more.

[opensuse] Kernel 4.2.0 + Nvidia driver
by Basil Chupin 13 Sep '15

13 Sep '15

The latest Nvidia drivers (x.30 & *.41) will not compile with the new kernel 4.2.0-1. If you are going to install the latest kernel take steps to make sure that you can still boot into your system - eg, make a backup of /boot before running the upgrade.

[opensuse] Grub2 does not boot
by Koenraad Lelong 13 Sep '15

13 Sep '15

Hi, After ugrading OS12.3 to OS13.2 (from scratch), the PC fails to boot. I get to the grub2 rescue console. After booting with the rescue mode of the DVD/stick I ran the bootinfoscript. The result is here : http://susepaste.org/3633045 You can ignore sdc and sdd, those are the installation-stick and a data-stick I used to run the bootinfo-script. It's a laptop with a small SSD (sdb) and a HD (sda). / is on the SSD. /home is on the HD. The PC should boot from sdb1. It seems not possible to tell the BIOS which drive to boot first. The boot-mode is legacy (other options : EUFI with or without CSM). Is it possible I should wipe the MBR of sda ? Grub2-rescue says it can't find disk 0e89e408-341d-41d6-b6c5-d6653e270240. That disk is referenced in the MBR of sda. So, what can I do next ? TIA, Koenraad. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
