[opensuse] On resume from hibernation, firefox always warns of unresponsive script.
by Carlos E. R. 13 Jan '16

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I often hibernate my machines, and on return Firefox pops a warning, on a random workspace, that says (hand copied): Warning: unresponsive script A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, open the script in the debugger, or let the script continue. Script: http://...somewhere (varies) [stop script] [continue] I typically click on "stop". There is also a tick box to ignore for ever or similar words (sorry, I lost the dialog box now) My guess is that whatever script is caught in the instant hibernation freeze occurs, Firefox wrongly thinks that has timed out because it uses wall time, not real running time. Is this a known issue? Can it be reported, and if so, where? I guess upstream. Ideas? Maybe just click on "ignore"? I don't use the ignore tick, because then it will not warn of unresponsive scripts during normal usage, and I don't want that. - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.

The problem is known (I found reference to Ark, to Ubuntu but I can confirm also for opensuse 13.2). It hit BT mouse usage when doing the following: dongle protocol 3 or 4, Mouse brand logitech, (it seems that several mice of this brand are touched by this, in my case it was logitech M557). The problem consist not so much in the pairing process (that does work and the mouse reacts as expected). But you loose the possibility to use it again after shutdown, suspend to ram or to disk. These mice will then not wake up (or better to say they will not reconnect. Cursor will blink and communicate with the dongle, but now connection will take place. If instead you do re-pair it from the scratch, it will then work as expected until shutdown or suspend. So if your mouse is not hit by this I am very happy. If your post would have given the reference of which BT mouse and type you are using that yes would be helpful to user users. Not so much to me, as I know already that these mice do not work for that version of bluedevil (it seems to be related with the BT library more than with the blue devil itself. I tried to download from a build-service repo a newer version but this did not help. As the mouse is currently sold for cheap in Italy, I thought it would be useful to have trace of this here, or advice before buying it. Sure, once you will run Leap or Tumbleweed (or just plasma 5) on your PC you will not run into it anymore. https://www.google.de/search?q=M557+does+not+reconnect&gbv=1&sei=eXaVVuStMI… Seems to be broken for kde4 due to a library. In leap it works as expected. Unfortunately the owner does not want to change distribution right now as she was quite happy up to now with opensuse. P.S. dongle was a "Hamlet 4.0" BT (that works otherwise very well and is recognized flawlessly). On the notebook the BT counterpart was a combined qualcom WLAN/BT minicard. Presented the same problem. --- Alle Postfächer an einem Ort.

Hello, May be you remember than recently I had a mess with swap, getting an unknown swp uuid. I just learn than hen installing Debian on a disk, Debian reformat the swap partition with a new uuid... and of course when I had my problem I just installed a Debian on the same drive (but of course an other partition).

[opensuse] boot any system
by jdd 13 Jan '16

13 Jan '16

Hello, I had recently boot problems, probably related to hardware problems (I stopped debugging this, too hard), I had to boot a damaged install (kernel available, but no initrd) and failed so. It's probably something simple I missed (but the tumbleweed rescue "start linux" system failed also). openSUSE can boot using "vmlinuz-xen" and "initrd-xen" from the /boot folder of the dvd to launch the install. It's easy (for one knowing the grub editor as I do) to copy these two files on any disk and lauch the install from there with grub. but how can I launch a rescue or native system from this? I tried to add "set root=/dev/sdXY" in grub, with no success other kernel/initrd? ideas? thanks jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] making iso from distribution bootable usb stick
by jdd 13 Jan '16

13 Jan '16

Hello, We all probably know several ways to create a bootable usb stick from an iso image. I have lot of them in my openSUSE booth kit. But from time to time, pretty rarely, I get a computer that do not want to boot my usb pen. I had that yesterday, a 32 bits computer that booted leap 64 usb (onbly to say it can't install it, of course), but refused to boot 13.2 32 bits (that booted perfectly on the next computer). So, as I don't want to keep several dvd with me, I would like to know how to extract the iso from the usb device to copy it to a blank dvd (I can have spare ones). optionally, I was said it's possible with debian usb pen to boot any (probably debian) media, plug the usb and continue install from there. Is it possible to do the same with openSUSE? If so, I could use a single boot dvd and run after this any usb pen in other words, is it possible to launch yast-install from the command line? thanks jss -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] software updates in LEAP system tray
by George Olson (SUSE list) 13 Jan '16

13 Jan '16

Having just recently gotten Leap up and running on my main desktop and main laptop, I noticed that the software updates reminder is giving reminders pretty regularly now. In older versions of openSUSE, this was run by a program called apper, and I would just uninstall it so that I would run updates at my own convenience. My general practice has been to only run security patches regularly, as in daily, and bigger updates I would check maybe once a month or at longer intervals. I also remember there being a lot of complaints about apper, that was why in older versions I would just uninstall apper and run a zypper patch or zypper update to update everything when I needed to. I am interested in knowing 2 things about the new way of doing it in Leap. 1 - what is the name of the program/application/daemon that is running the software updates reminder that keeps popping up in my system tray? Apper is not installed on my new system, and I was not able to figure it out 2 - What does everyone thinkabout the new software updates management tool? Should I get rid of it and go back to my old practice? (thatis what I intend to do unless there are good reasons not to) Do people like it? Are the updates better now that Leap is a more stable system? -- George Box #1: 42.1 | KDE Plasma 5 | AMD Phenom IIX4 | 64 | 16GB Box #2: 13.1 | KDE 4.12 | AMD Athlon X3 | 64 | 4GB Laptop #1: 13.1 | KDE 4.12 | Core i7-2620M | 64 | 8GB Laptop #2: 42.1 | KDE Plasma 5 | Core i7-4710HQ | 64 | 16GB -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

R. > (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar) > > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Well, the problem seems to be dual fold. One hand the pairing function for 13.2 is broken for BT mice (the problem is known and a won'tfix because it does substantially work in kde5). So it is fixed in Leap. But I found out today that the pairing function for bluetooth devices is broken at least for Samsung GMS smartphones in Leap too. Pairing fails and several odd things happen (like phones that are not paired are still able to be browsed by the PC, etc. I will check if someone did report this already if not open a bug report. Sure is that even if defining a manual PIN this does apparently not allow the mouse to connect if the other notebook/PC sends the correct password. So probably the mouse is limited (which in case of broken pairing function as in 13.2 makes BT mices for 13.2 useless). The logitech documentation of the device is......pitiful. For the time being we decided to use the mouse only on one machine. P.s. Welcome back. --- Alle Postfächer an einem Ort.

[opensuse] I am confused: "high end" graphics Laptop for Suse (in Spain)?
by Daniel Bauer 12 Jan '16

12 Jan '16

Hi list(eners) I need to buy a new laptop and am very confused with the new hardware and it's compatibility with OpenSuse (I guess I will install leap?), especially this secure boot thing etc. I see that most of the laptops come with Win10 plus special stuff (cloud space and don't know what else), but I plan to reformat the disks and make a pure, fully encrypted Linux-machine, no dual boot, but Win within a virtualbox (needed for some camera software). What do I have to look for/make sure to have/not have, so that I can do a more or less easy install without being an expert, and without too much time to tinker and solve problems? Anybody has experience with recent HP, Asus, Lenovo? And how about Toshiba, which always seem to be cheaper? The tests I found are outdated (or not dated) or not related to Linux. So any hints are much appreciated! (And if anybody has hints where to best buy in Spain: great!)

[opensuse] KDE Connect
by John Andersen 12 Jan '16

12 Jan '16

If you run KDE and have an Android phone, and you haven't heard about this little gem you might want to look into it. Free app for the phone, and a plugin to the KDE system settings panel. I run it on KDE 4.xx on OS 13.2 as well as on KDE5/Plasma 5 on Manjaro Linux. Very slick for sending files, and not having to reach for your phone just see who is sending you messages, clipboard integration, and it even mutes your music on the computer when your phone rings. -- After all is said and done, more is said than done. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
