[opensuse] make a file clickable
by buhorojo 30 Jan '16

Hi I have this file: -rwxr-xr-x 1 br2 users 1678728 Jun 15 2014 StarTools-Linux64 If I click it, it tells me it is executable and asks if I want to execute it or open it. Annoying. Can I make it click and execute? Thanks -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] color problem in leap
by jdd 29 Jan '16

29 Jan '16

Hello, Leap seems to have some color problem, and I can't solve changing theme. I already noticed the standard (default) kde color scheme have some minor contrast problems not worth a discussion. But I have now problems with one application. This application is not an open source one, so I waited to ask here, but there is no problem in Debian Jessie... and the application programmer do not have neither with his Ubuntu. See the three screen copies here: http://dodin.org/owncloud/index.php/s/vYQ5ImJf1ZXvl1T taken from the same VirtualBox host (Leap) in three guesses (Leap, Windows 7 and Jessie - the file name is clear). The problem is in the bottom. Jessie and Windows perfectly shows colors and so buttons, when Leap do not show buttons background colors, so making the button nearly invisible. The application is VueScan from https://www.hamrick.com/, a very largely used scan program and Hamrick is very linux friendly (but not openSUSE user :-() any idea? thanks jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Creative Webcam Mic dmesg Errors
by SDM 29 Jan '16

29 Jan '16

I'm getting errors spewed out in dmesg which relate to a Logitech Webcam connected to my Linux box. I found if I unplug the webcam from the USB port while the microphone is active in either a VoIP application or just simply recording ambient noise with Audacity, it can cause the kernel to become unstable and 1 time actually caused a kernel panic. That's not your normal use case but still should not happen. Just to rule out my hardware, I connected the USB webcam to a Fedora box which is a completely different machine with totally different hardware and the same exact errors occur. The bug reports below outline the same errors, and beneath those links are a copy/paste of what I found in journalctl. Sometime there are no errors at all, other times there are. IIRC if I am in a VOIP app like Mumble and unplug the mic (yet not transmitting) the errors can start spewing out. It comes and goes. Has anyone else had issues like this with Logitech USB microphones or webcams, or other brands? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1319457 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/354220 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=746914 [37531.217306] retire_capture_urb: 19 callbacks suppressed [37536.562424] retire_capture_urb: 16 callbacks suppressed [37541.853545] retire_capture_urb: 18 callbacks suppressed [37547.087664] retire_capture_urb: 18 callbacks suppressed [37552.311786] retire_capture_urb: 25 callbacks suppressed [37557.929915] retire_capture_urb: 26 callbacks suppressed [37563.024026] retire_capture_urb: 12 callbacks suppressed [37568.557152] retire_capture_urb: 20 callbacks suppressed [37573.779270] retire_capture_urb: 13 callbacks suppressed [37578.816386] retire_capture_urb: 23 callbacks suppressed [37584.198509] retire_capture_urb: 16 callbacks suppressed Other times I get these errors: Jan 24 12:30:57 linux-jh56 pulseaudio[1574]: [alsa-source-ALC892 Analog] asyncq.c: q overrun, queuing locally Jan 24 12:30:57 linux-jh56 pulseaudio[1574]: [alsa-source-ALC892 Analog] asyncq.c: q overrun, queuing locally Jan 24 12:30:57 linux-jh56 pulseaudio[1574]: [alsa-source-ALC892 Analog] asyncq.c: q overrun, queuing locally Jan 24 12:30:57 linux-jh56 pulseaudio[1574]: [alsa-source-ALC892 Analog] asyncq.c: q overrun, queuing locally Jan 24 12:31:02 linux-jh56 pulseaudio[1574]: [alsa-source-ALC892 Analog] asyncq.c: q overrun, queuing locally Jan 24 12:31:02 linux-jh56 pulseaudio[1574]: [alsa-source-ALC892 Analog] asyncq.c: q overrun, queuing locally Jan 24 12:31:02 linux-jh56 pulseaudio[1574]: [alsa-source-ALC892 Analog] asyncq.c: q overrun, queuing locally Jan 24 12:31:07 linux-jh56 pulseaudio[1574]: [alsa-source-ALC892 Analog] asyncq.c: q overrun, queuing locally Jan 24 12:31:07 linux-jh56 pulseaudio[1574]: [alsa-source-ALC892 Analog] asyncq.c: q overrun, queuing locally Jan 24 12:31:12 linux-jh56 pulseaudio[1574]: [alsa-source-ALC892 Analog] asyncq.c: q overrun, queuing locally Jan 24 12:31:12 linux-jh56 pulseaudio[1574]: [alsa-source-ALC892 Analog] asyncq.c: q overrun, queuing locally Jan 24 12:31:12 linux-jh56 pulseaudio[1574]: [alsa-source-ALC892 Analog] asyncq.c: q overrun, queuing locally -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] making local copy of 13.1 repos
by Istvan Gabor 29 Jan '16

29 Jan '16

Hello: I would like to download openSUSE 13.1 repos from download.opensuse.org/repositories directory. First I thought I could use wget but it seems it's not that easy. I don't know how I could specify wget to download only "openSUSE_13.1" directories from the tree (without writing every single path after an -I option), if it's possible at all. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Istvan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Leap / Tumbleweed Ogg / Amarok and (minor) VLC problem: very speedy ogg reproduction.
by stakanov＠freenet.de 28 Jan '16

28 Jan '16

I possess several audio CDs that I ripped in the past. I have a mp3 version and an ogg version of the tracks. It is speech so you can note the speed particularly well. Up to leap everything was fine, the files are older about 5 years old. But since I installed leap I was baffled by a "phenomenon" hitting as it seems ogg files. The are reproduced ca 1.5 times speedier in Amarok and 1.25 times speedier in VLC. I can only guess speed, I think in Amarok it is even faster as the women have the "Mickey Mouse" factor. The VLC problem is solved by hitting twice "slightly slower" when you reach normal. In case there is the mp3 version available, the problem does not seem to be there or it is not apparent enough to let me note it. I am using the packman versions codecs but I have also leap with opensuse ones and Tumbleweed and.....astonishingly it is the very same. So this hits here leap and tumbleweed, amarok (a lot) and vlc (less). On a AMD 64 plattform with nvidia and on a laptop with intel 915. ironlake. What could that be? Is that already known or should I open a bug. In Amarok as I cannot use ogg anymore that is a hindrance. In VLC I can regulate the speed so that mitigates it a bit. I only found some very old events like this on google (from 2010). Thanks. --- Alle Postfächer an einem Ort.

I will suppose it does not make a difference. In 13.2 you find a section of kdm settings in system settings of kde. In leap that corresponds to sddm and the access screen menu. You go to advanced (you need to have the root password for this, so I hope you have it under hand). The selection is a bit weird in kdm because you are actually selecting the user that you do want not to see at login. I think there is a menu point too where you can invert this behavior, but I do have leap and sddm here. Hope that helps. P.S. as you are using kdm, check that settings for it are respected and that it doesn't listen on 6001 etc with the x-server. (netstat -tulpn is your friend). That was (and probably is a longstanding bug in 13.2 once you shift sessions with ctrl+alt+F7 etc) --- Alle Postfächer an einem Ort.

[opensuse] Display Manager options
by Klaus Vink Slott 27 Jan '16

27 Jan '16

Hi Basic question: When I install a Window manager it seem to be automatically added to possible selections on the login screen (I use kdm) How can I remove some of these choices? Why: To make kodi play nice with Google Chrome (for Netflix) I prefer to run Kodi on Openbox. But after install I have both a "Kodi" and a "Openbox" option in the login menu. To prevent mistakes I want to remove "Kodi" as a possible option. -- Klaus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Leap - default install - out of space?
by Greg Freemyer 27 Jan '16

27 Jan '16

All, I setup a test install of Leap in a VM. Using BTRFS as per default. My first experience with BTRFS. This is purely for Leap experimentation so I hope 32GB is plenty. I accepted the default partition setup with a 32 GB drive. I have 100GB free on the underlying hypervisor filesystem, so that should not be an issue and I can easily re-install if the partition setup is just wrong. Per "df -h" I have a couple GB of freespace in / (root) and 16GB free in /home. But when I try to do anything I'm told I'm out of diskspace. Is this really how Leap is supposed to work? Not exactly user friendly. What is the immediate fix? Is there a long term fix?

I did not have the idea about the stopwatch, it is a good idea. I will try and report back (will be tomorrow because I have to study a lot these days). I did not even know I have ogg123 and sox "play". How nice. So I will try that too (on both TW and leap) with the stopwatch too and will report back on that too. Thank you very much for this input indeed. Originally these files where extracted via k3b (using lame I think, but I am not sure. It was the default for creating ogg). The setting was loss-less 100%. --- Alle Postfächer an einem Ort.
