[opensuse] leap42.1 - how do I get the hostname displayed on the GUI login/lock screen?
by Per Jessen 17 Mar '17

$SUBJ says it all - I'm missing the hostname. When several PC are connected via a kvm switch it's handy being able to tell where you are logging in. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (4.6°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free dynamic DNS, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] hdparm on boot and YaST
by Juan R. de Silva 08 Nov '16

08 Nov '16

About a month ago I run a cross a post in forums showing the way to run something like 'hdparm -B 254 /dev/sda' upon boot by simply setting some parameter in YaST. Foolishly enough I managed to loose the post and I do not remember it in details. I googled for over an hour now and I cannot come across it any more. Anybody can make a suggestion here, please? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

Adding fonts?
by Tracer Bullet 22 Aug '16

22 Aug '16

Hi all, Reading some mails on the GIMP mail list, I ran across the procedure to install some more fonts for not only Gimp, but the system and StarOffice to use also. Well, I installed the fonts, went to the shell and issued the command xset fp+ <font directory> and then the rehash command and all fonts are there! Ok, that went well, but each time I restart the system, I have to do it all over again? Is there a way to make it permanent and read the new fonts like it does the ones the system installs or is that a no-no? end of line Tracer Shell commands: xset fp+ <new font directory> xset fp rehash -- ---KMail 1.2--- SuSE Linux v7.2--- Registered Linux User #225206 /tracerb(a)sprintmail.com/ *Magic Page Products* *Team Amiga* http://home.sprintmail.com/~tracerb

[opensuse] network setup in leap 42.1
by Istvan Gabor 16 Jun '16

16 Jun '16

Hello: In openSUSE 13.2 the traditional network setup (ifup in yast) was removed and wicd (??) was introduced which I didn't like when I tried. Along with ifup kinternet/qinternet and related packages, eg smpppd (SuSE Meta PPP Daemon, the back-end for kinternet) have been removed too. I am curious how network manager independent network setup occurs in leap 42.1? Does it have kinternet on something similar?

by cagsm 06 Jun '16

Good day, I am trying to find out of shorewall is supposed to work with 13.2 properly, as I read about systemd stuff being in the midst of creation and wicked and sort of that things that make it problematic to run something different from susefirewall2. Thanks for helping. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] I can not filter out some systemd messages in syslog
by Carlos E. R. 17 May '16

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I have this in "/etc/rsyslog.conf": if ($programname == 'named' or $syslogtag == '[named]:') \ then -/var/log/named & stop ... if ($msg contains 'Started Session' and $msg contains 'of user') \ then -/var/log/systemdpurged & stop # # the rest in one file # *.*;mail.none;news.none -/var/log/messages I get the expected entries in "/var/log/systemdpurged": <3.6> 2014-03-01 16:30:01 Telcontar systemd 1 - - Started Session 93 of user cer. <3.6> 2014-03-01 16:33:01 Telcontar systemd 1 - - Started Session 94 of user news. But I'm also getting them in "/var/log/messages": <3.6> 2014-03-01 16:30:01 Telcontar systemd 1 - - Starting Session 93 of user cer. <3.6> 2014-03-01 16:33:01 Telcontar systemd 1 - - Starting Session 94 of user news. And they should not be there. So the "stop" line for those systemd entries is not acting. However, it works for other sections, like the "named" section shown above, and others I do not show for clarity. Are systemd entries special? - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.

[opensuse] Writing coments on photos problem - yes, again! O:-)
by Carlos E. R. 12 Feb '16

12 Feb '16

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Sigh. I'm scanning old photographic negatives with a compact scanner (a reflecta X7), and writing comments on the photos with Gwenview. But I have a problem: other programs do not see them. I don't see them with exif tools, for instance. I don't see them with shotwell. Conversely, if I write the comments with shotwell (which is configured to write metadata to the photos, not to a database), I don't see them in gwenview (but they do with "exif", tag "User Comment") I hesitate to continue writing comments till I verify that they are in fact written to the photo files, and that other programs read them. I don't see any configuration option in Gwenview regarding this. (why Gwenview? Because rotating photos is fast here, and it doesn't do any library import. For the moment I only want to put each roll in its own directory. Writing comments is also easy, although they are easyer to see in Shotwell) I'm not doing photo edit for the moment. Just archiving. (Old slides have lost a lot of the colour) - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.

[opensuse] disabling wakeup when monitor sends hibernate message
by don fisher 09 Feb '16

09 Feb '16

I have an ASUS_VN289H HDMI monitor connected to my Alienware HDMI output port. When the external monitor is not connected, the system blanks the screen the way I have requested. When the external monitor is connected, the monitor blanks, then the monitor offers a lost signal message, and the system unblanks. I would RTFM if I know which one to look at:-) What I would like to know is how to disable the wakeup call that I think that the monitor must be sending when it looses signal. Thanks, Don -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

I am recent to OpenSUSE. I noticed that there's no "xbindkeys" app? Am I missing something or am I looking in the wrong place for the RPM? Thanks!
