It is a good and helpful lecture. https://userbase.kde.org/Welcome_to_KDE_UserBase This will help you a lot. Besides, for your problem: as the "folder view" is a plasmoid/object of plasma, right click on the desktop, choose unblock objects. Then click on the folder view plasmoid. A side bar is getting visible. The close button is on the right low corner. Above you have customize possibilities to change the view or change other functions (size, orientation). Once done, recall to block the objects to avoid unwanted changes of the desktop layout and object positions. Cheers. --- Alle Postfächer an einem Ort.

Hi! I am searching for a workaround or help to solve the following problem: When i use a different screen or let us say better, a different resolution all my plasmoids are mixed up on the desktop. I just have to change the resolution and everything is a mess. I have already posted a bug in kde and opened a thread in the forum , but no one seems to have this problem…Any issue about this? https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/512696-Plasmaoids-disturbed-afte… Thanks, Benjamin. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

You know that default desktop folder panel that is on the desktop on a new KDE setup? Well, I can't get rid of mine. There is not "close" option when hovering the mouse over it. The problem is I just spent quite a bit of time setting up my desktop with panels, colors, themes, etc. So I don't want to get rid of my other settings, just this desktop folder panel.

[opensuse] digikam crashes
by don fisher 24 Jan '16

24 Jan '16

The system I used before my fatal upgrade ran digikam. Now I receive a signal: Segmentation fault when it is run. It says it is using /lib64/libthread_db.so.1, and the current thread is 1. If I examine the dependencies for digikam in Yast2, it shows libpthread.so.0(GLIBC_2.2.5)(64bit) Could this be the problem, or is there more info somewhere else? The last entry in the dump for thread 1 is: Thread 1 (Thread 0x7f145f4a7880 (LWP 3562)): [KCrash Handler] #5 0x00007f1457fb406c in __strcmp_ssse3 () at /lib64/libc.so.6 I did a search for libthread under Yast2, with the contains switch, and is says there are no results. But the same Yast2 code lists libthread_db as a dependency. Comments welcome.

[opensuse] Tumbleweed: X Consuming Huge Amounts of Memory
by SDM 24 Jan '16

24 Jan '16

On my desktop PC, X easily consumes over 3 GB of memory within 16 hours of use and will continue crawling over the 4 GB mark. It will eventually make my system run out of memory unless I log out of and back in KDE every 1-3 days. I open and close a lot of windows (Dolphin, FF, and more), and this makes X incrementally increase its memory footprint. When I close Windows, the memory never drops back down; it just goes in one direction and that is up. Is anyone else experiencing this under TW? I'm using the radeon open source driver on a "01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Juniper PRO [Radeon HD 6750]" card. I did some tests with running Leap on a different HDD and the same PC, and this doesn't happen. This problem also didn't used to happen on TW but was introduced with a Plasma 5 update some weeks ago. I've asked around a bit through some other channels and nobody is familiar with this so I'm trying here. Any suggestions on how I can find out what the culprit is for the leak (I think it may be KDE related, not X itself)? I would file a bug report but don't know if X is the culprit, or if it's plasmashell or something else.

[opensuse] Installation DVD is horrible!
by don fisher 24 Jan '16

24 Jan '16

I have been trying to build a bootable USB drive on my 13.2 system. I plug in the USB drive, BOOT the installation DVD and select installation. I get to where it shows the devices, and select the Create Partition .. and choose the USB drive. I then have to go to Expert Partitioner to set up swap, /, and home partitions. But even after doing all that, when I start the build the damn thing first formats the USB swap partition, and then mounts a swap partition from another drive, so my fstab is corrupted. Why does it refuse to honour my request to use the USB drive? Is there a trick I am missing? The USB drive already had valid partitions on it when I started. I told the system I wanted to use all three, by checking them in the usage menu. But it then reformatted the disk, removing the existing swap and making the first partition /. It was intending to use the same swap it attached above. I do not think this should not be this hard. Why is swap so hard to deal with?

[opensuse] x11vnc is not working with TigerVNC viewer on Leap42.1
by Marc Chamberlin 24 Jan '16

24 Jan '16

Hi - For years now, I have run the x11vnc server as an xinetd daemon using the following configuration for the service - service x11vncservice { socket_type = stream protocol = tcp wait = no user = root server = /usr/bin/x11vnc server_args = -inetd -rfbauth /etc/vncpasswd -oa /var/log/x11vnc.log -env FD_XDM=1 -find -rfbport 5900 port = 5900 type = UNLISTED } and up until when I upgraded to Leap42.1, from openSuSE12.3 ;-) (yeah I don't change very often) this has worked fine. But now I cannot get a vncviewer on an openSuSE13.2 or 13.1 to connect to this system running 42.1 The things I have noted that are of interest, was that openSuSE switched to using VNC software from TigerVNC and the problem appears to be either with the server trying to define the display to connect to or in gaining authorization to connect to the display. The x11vnc.log shows the following ominous messages - 23/01/2016 17:40:33 x11vnc version: 0.9.13 lastmod: 2011-08-10 pid: 11698 23/01/2016 17:40:33 23/01/2016 17:40:33 wait_for_client: WAIT:cmd=FINDDISPLAY 23/01/2016 17:40:33 23/01/2016 17:40:33 initialize_screen: fb_depth/fb_bpp/fb_Bpl 24/32/2560 23/01/2016 17:40:33 23/01/2016 17:40:33 initialize_screen: -inetd mode: F_GETFL(stdin): 0x2 23/01/2016 17:40:33 initialize_screen: -inetd mode: F_GETFL(stdout): 0x2 23/01/2016 17:40:33 initialize_screen: -inetd mode and stdio is O_RDWR 23/01/2016 17:40:33 other clients: 23/01/2016 17:40:33 incr accepted_client=1 for 192.168.10.10:60784 sock=3 23/01/2016 17:40:33 Client Protocol Version 3.8 23/01/2016 17:40:33 Protocol version sent 3.8, using 3.8 23/01/2016 17:40:33 wait_for_client: got client 23/01/20ddd16 17:40:33 client progressed=1 in 0/0 0.000001 s 23/01/2016 17:40:33 client useCopyRect: 192.168.10.10 0 23/01/2016 17:40:33 client_set_net: 192.168.10.10 0.0002 23/01/2016 17:40:33 wait_for_client: running: env X11VNC_SKIP_DISPLAY='' /bin/sh /tmp/x11vnc-find_display.A0fqoe 23/01/2016 17:40:34 wait_for_client: find display cmd failed. 23/01/2016 17:40:34 wait_for_client: bad reply ' A quick glance at the x11vnc code seems to indicate that the server was looking for a response starting with DISPLAY and failing to find it, it gives up and throws out the "find display cmd failed" message. Caveat, I only took a quick glance at the code which I found a copy of on the internet, so have not grokked it fully. Other observations, I did try manually starting the x11vnc server, without any extra parameters, x11vnc -display :0 and with these parameters - x11vnc -rfbauth /etc/vncpasswd -oa /var/log/x11vnc.log -find -rfbport 5900 then connected to it from a client using the TigerVNC viewer, which works fine i.e. vncviewer far-host:0 and this confirmed that at least the vncpasswd file was set up correctly and accepting my password. But I really want to run it as a daemon process so that it will always be available to people (on an internal network) who do not know how to use SSH connections. For grins, I tried setting the xinetd servers args for x11vnc to the following, also with no joy. server_args = -inetd -rfbauth /etc/vncpasswd -oa /var/log/x11vnc.log -auth guess -find -rfbport 5900 I was suspicious about setting the env parameter "-env FD_XDM=1" but removing it and substituting the "-auth guess" did not succeed either. Anyone else seeing problems with x11vnc or my method of running it as a server? Thanks in advance for any and all offers of help...

[opensuse] plasmashell in Leap 42.1
by Marc Chamberlin 24 Jan '16

24 Jan '16

Hi - I have just upgraded one of my systems to Leap 42.1 and am encountering a problem that is turning into a showstopper for us. Every few minutes, and in particular it seems after clicking on the launcher in the kicker bar at the bottom of the desktop, the system comes to a near halt for a few minutes and does not respond to a lot of mouse or keyboard input actions. Any shell window that is open will be responsive but much of the GUI stops responding. I have discovered that when this happens, top reports that the plasmashell process is using 100% of the cpu. Google has not provided me with a solution that I can understand, so in layman's terms can some kind guru tell me how to fix this issue? I will gladly provide any additional info needed, and thanks in advance for your help.

[opensuse] checking on a sending mail problem with Thunderbird
by Carlos E. R. 22 Jan '16

22 Jan '16

Hi, Sometimes when I try to reply or send an email to this list with Thunderbird, I get a response of temporary server problem, I understand meaning at my ISP, telefonica.net. A copy of the email appears at the "Sent" folder, but it was never sent and never arrives. I wonder why Thunderbird, which reports an error, behaves as if it was sent. It should abort and ask to retry or not. What I do as a bypass is copy the email on the sent folder to the draft folder of another account (gmail), edit and send. All this happens both in Linux (Os.Leap) and Windows 10 - I'm now trying in Windows: so it may be a Thunderbird problem. What I haven't tested yet is sending on another system via postfix, and see what error I'm get from the ISP, if any. -- Saludos/Cheers, Carlos E.R.

[opensuse] very slow downloads of debuginfo packages from KDE:/Frameworks5/openSUSE_Leap_42.1

[opensuse] What do you use for skype?
by Dave Plater 22 Jan '16

22 Jan '16

Hi, my daughter has an online job and her windows vista has died to the point where it needs an install disk to fix, her boyfriend did something wrong. So daddy's going to install Leap:42.1, which I've already run from another disk on her computer in the past so I know it works. One thing that she needs that is missing is skype. I need to get this setup this morning as she's already missed a couple of days of work. I've looked around, skype offers an openSUSE:12.1 i586 rpm - no good for x86_64, Ubuntu / Debian have the latest x86_64/x86 versions. I found a couple of packages in obs home repos and one home repo in PMBS (packman obs). I copied and updated the PMBS package with the latest skype-4.3.0.37.tar.bz2 in my PMBS home repo and there doesn't seem to be a problem so I can't understand why nobody in openSUSE bothers with skype. Is there a working, easy to setup with an existing skype account, alternative?

[opensuse] Is offline upgrade still preferred over Zypper system upgrade (13.2->Leap 42.1)?
by Bjoern Voigt 22 Jan '16

22 Jan '16

The Wiki page "SDB:System upgrade" (https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:System_upgrade) warns Warning: Do not skip a release when upgrading! Example: do not upgrade from 13.1 to 42.1. Instead, from 13.1 upgrade to 13.2, then from 13.2 upgrade to 42.1. Other possibility: Offline upgrade, a.k.a. traditional or DVD upgrade. For more information, read offline upgrade. This upgrade method is safer and more versatile. Unless you have a good reason to do otherwise, use the offline upgrade method. Especially this disadvantage of Zypper system upgrade makes my sceptical: It does not do all of the cleanup and maintenance that an offline DVD Upgrade does. Does this still apply for the upgrade from 13.2 to Leap 42.1? Which method works better in practice? (Personally I use both methods. I prefer Offline upgrade (from USB) for PCs with a limited number of packages and less extra repositories. I prefer the Zypper system upgrade method for PCs will much packages from different repositories. Zypper system upgrade also causes less downtime.)

[opensuse] Help with system internal error failure on Leap 42.1 upgrade
by don fisher 22 Jan '16

22 Jan '16

I have a 13.2 system that has been running for about a year on a 1TB Samsung drive, model 840 EVO mSATA. The Leap 42.1 upgrade system went through the entire upgrade process, rendering my previous system useless, and then on the last screen posted the following internal error message: Internal error: Please report a bug report with logs Detail unknown udev device /dev/disk/by-id/wwnQx5002538844584d30-part2 Call: /usr/share/YaST2/lib/bootloader/udev_mapping.rb:42in to kernel device I desire help with this. I do not know where the requested "logs" would be stored. I looked in /var/log and did not notice any obvious candidates. Where does this udev mapping come from? I have many Samsung SSDs and would like to have the problem fixed for all of them at one time. So if I knew which drives were mapped I would know which ones to request repair on. The failed drive still exists, so if there are any requests for files I will try to recover them. How come 13.2 can access these drives, and Leap cannot? Is it the new kernel? It would be great if the Upgrade code checked this before overwriting an functioning system:-) Thanks Don -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Question Leap: fonts and colours
by Basil Chupin 21 Jan '16

21 Jan '16

I have Leap 42 installed as a test system on the same computer as openSUSE 13.2 -- but as separate booting systems. I am also using the very latest versions of Thunderbird and Firefox on Leap and 13.2 -- but the important part to the question I am asking here is that I am using, thru the use of symlinks, the *same* '/.mozilla' and '/.thunderbird' in both Leap and 13.2. And here is the problem followed by the question: in 13.2 I have selected the fonts I like to be used in both TB and FF as well as the background colours and font colours -- however, in both I am allowing fonts used by the originating source to be used for displaying the text. (Trying to explain this is getting hairy but I hope that you are getting the picture :-( ). when I use both Firefox and Thunderbird in Leap the font and the colour chosen in 13.2 are ignored even though the same /.mozilla and /.thunderbird are being used. I have also selected the same colours and fonts in the System Settings (Startup>System Settings>whatever). Why am I getting a different result when using Leap to what I get in 13.2? Anyone have a suggestion, or two, please? BTW, evern though I haven't upgraded a copy of TW to the latest, I am getting the same results as in Leap: different fonts and colour schemes.

42.1 Hi and TIA because we really don't know how to ask this question. We tried Darktable 2 from https://software.opensuse.org/package/darktable graphics repository. We could go back to 1.6 by removing 2, removing the repository and then reinstalling. I'm sure there's a more elegant way, but anyway... Question: one day I suppose after an update, 2 will become the norm. Will it still be possible to choose 1.6 when that happens?

[opensuse] Firefox Private Browsing

I recently updated to v43.0.4 on 13.2/x64. I decided to enable all private browsing in tabs & windows with it to see how it works. However, when I open a new Private Window, it now opens my saved homepage, which is an email service. And, instead of just showing a login, it actually logs me in. I thought that the Private Browsing was supposed to sandbox all tabs/windows. No history is being recorded, but the fact that my login is still being loaded leads me to believe that I'm not being protected very well.

[opensuse] using a local repo mirror plus adding extra repositories during installation ?
by Per Jessen 20 Jan '16

20 Jan '16

Last year I created a local mirror as a way of avoiding the IPv6 mirror issue. When I install, I just point to this with install=http://local.mirror. However, when I select to add extra repos during installation, i.e. the update repos, these are not taken from the local mirror, so I'm back to the ipv6 issue. I was just wondering if anyone else had encountered this and maybe already found a way around it?

by David C. Rankin 19 Jan '16

19 Jan '16

All, Just a curiosity. Why patch OpenSSH_6.2p2 in a critical update instead of updating to OpenSSH_7.1p2? There are not conflicts between the versions or issues with backwards compatibility. So where is the logic for patching an old version when you could simply package the new version as an update? -- David C.

[opensuse] I'm a bit confused by the current naming of vmware player
by Carlos E. R. 19 Jan '16

19 Jan '16

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I went to https://my.vmware.com/web/vmware/downloads, and what I see as "Player" is now called "VMware Workstation 12.1.0 Player for Linux 64-bit." The version I have currently installed is Player, version 6. Apparently, VMware Workstation 12.1.0 Player is both free and paid. I suppose I have to upgrade to it. Anybody done that, what should I have in mind? However, the package is named similarly: VMware-Player-6.0.6-.....x86_64.bundle VMware-Player-12.1.0-......x86_64.bundle No "workstation" in the name there, just a jump in the version number. - -- Cheers Carlos E.

[opensuse] dracut adds ifname=enp65s1:ma:ca:dd:re:ss ip=enp65s1:static ?
by Per Jessen 19 Jan '16

19 Jan '16

Over the weekend I've been playing with a new box, trying to make it boot over nfs. Not many hairs left on my head. After a lot of trial&error with both openSUSE Leap42 and 13.2, I finally(!) noticed what dracut adds as default cmdline arguments - ifname=enp65s1:ma:ca:dd:re:ss ip=enp65s1:static The first bit is probably okay, but the second is certain not, when I use DHCP. Okay, I just override it "ip=dhcp" in the bootloader, but surely this is new behaviour? None of my other systems need ip=dhcp. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (-3.4°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - dedicated server rental in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] KDE3 kicker hangs with 100% CPU use
by Istvan Gabor 18 Jan '16

18 Jan '16

Hello: This occurs on openSUSE 13.1 with KDE3 (from KDE repo). I have installed many packages through yast2 package manager. After this when go to KDE3 start menu -> graphics, the desktop hangs, top shows that kicker uses 100% CPU. I removed ~/.kde/share/config/kickerrc but it did not make a change (after restarting the system). It also occurs to a new test user with a newly created KDE3 desktop, so this is not a user specific symptom. How could I trace and possibly fix this?

[opensuse] memtest only seeing 48GB out of 64GB?
by Greg Freemyer 18 Jan '16

18 Jan '16

All, I have a new machine with 64GB per the bios (and the receipt). Windows 8.1 and Memtest are only reporting 48GB. Do I need to do anything, or do I have a defective RAM chip? Is there a Live Leap DVD I can try? == details I have a new custom-built desktop machine with 64GB or ram (in theory). Its a ASUS X99 mother board. It came with Windows 8.1 pre-loaded, but Windows is only reporting 48GB. As a first troubleshooting test I have a openSUSE 13.1 live DVD that I'm using to boot. The normal boot/kernel is halting, apparently due to a graphics issue. (I will try Leap if there's a live dvd?) The 13.1 failsafe boot works, but top is only showing 4GB. I assume that is a feature of failsafe. Memtest starts fine, but it is only reporting 48GB.

Hello List , frequently TW xfce takes a long time to start , and gets stuck at 'xfsettingsd' - if one can delete all in directory /var/lib/systemd/coredump , then there is a better chance of success at the next boot attempt . ......... regards -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] dracut emergency shell - where to mount root?
by Per Jessen 18 Jan '16

18 Jan '16

In earlier openSUSE releases, I'm sure I used to mount on /dev/root and then leave the emergency shell with exit or Ctrl-D ? With dracut emergency shell, I have tried /dev/root and /sysroot, both found on the 'net - neither seems to work. I've tried openSUSE 13.2 and Leap both. Background - afaict, dracut or yast does not correctly create an initrd when root is on nfs. For the first boot, I would therefore manually mount root and continue, then correct the initrd. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (-4.1°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - your free DNS host, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] xset s 600 s blank does not appear to work
by don fisher 18 Jan '16

18 Jan '16

When I am under on of the other window managers, like Fvwm, my screen now fails to dim after the prescribed time. This was working in the past, before my system crash, and I lost my notes on what to do. If I run openSuse System Settings, manually enable Power Management, then go to Power management I can set a time to dim the screen. But I used to be able to do that directly under X. Doesn't xset work under X any more? I tried doing the xset as root, also without success. Is there some set of services I can enable to provide the screen blanking?

[opensuse] desktop icons and folderview swapping sides
by ianseeks 17 Jan '16

17 Jan '16

Hi Is there any key combination that can cause my desktop layout to swap sides? My desktop has 2 icons (firefox and skanlite) on the hand side and a folderview on the right. I closed down the 2 programs i was using (firefox and Libreoffice writer) and discovered the icons and folderview had swapped sides. Prior to launching firefox and writer i resized the folderview by holding down the mouse button to launch the resize menu and enlarged it. Any ideas?
