[opensuse] dolphin - enable preview by default?
by Per Jessen 22 Nov '16

22 Nov '16

How can I enable preview for all folders by default, and also for new users? Similar quesation for preview file types, how do I add those by default? Having to manually go through this exercise is a RPITA. I think our desktop defaults leave something to be desired. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (15.6°C) http://www.cloudsuisse.com/ - your owncloud, hosted in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

hi, my problem is the new fonts seems to me very small and dense and as i spend most of my time reading text on the computer it really hurts my eyes here is the different between 42.1 fonts and 42.2 fonts: http://oi63.tinypic.com/ix9zeq.jpg http://oi67.tinypic.com/30rqhc7.jpg i remember before 42.2 was released leap 42.1 got an OPTIONAL update to change the same stupid fonts: Optional update for desktop-fonts: - Roboto prefered for sans and serif and Source Sans Pro for monospace [bsc#951898] - install google-roboto-fonts instead of dejavu-fonts in -fonts pattern, add noto-sans to -fonts_opt pattern [bnc#951898] References: 951898 (bugzilla) : fonts are ugly compared to Mint and Ubuntu it was because of the following bug report: https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=951898 here the following changes after applying this update patch: http://pastebin.com/raw/S8eRw3h1 could you please help me switch back to leap 42.1 fonts ??? i'm using Gnome Version 3.20.2, linux-309z 4.4.27-2-default x86_64, display res:1360*768 AMD Athlon(tm) 7750 Dual-Core Processor × 2 01:05.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.

[opensuse] Simple backuping user data to external storage with removable media drive
by cagsm 21 Nov '16

21 Nov '16

Looking for simple ways, e.g. maybe some script, rsync, schedule with at or cronsomething, to backup a bunch of files onto some removable media drive e.g. attached via usb to a leap 42.2 machine for instance. Any good pointers on what would be an easy, scriptable and automatable way to achieve this? I have some long path names so I probably need to stick to ext-something on the removable drive as well. The files all belong to a certain username on the linux machine, or maybe a group, but nothing really complex. The script and the tools would hopefully run as this normal username on the leap machine. I wonder if all this stuff about mounting the removable media and writing to it, later unmounting and ejecting the removable media can be achieved with a normal restricted nonroot user and nonroot scripts. I guess rsync with some mirror method to only freshen and update and add to the removable media would suffice for my needs. Maybe longer term stuff, would be as these removable media would be taken to some secure place safe or vault, that the media need another encryption layer underneath the ext-something. Is there any cool solution already out there for me to use? I am new to this. Thanks for all the hints and pointers. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Anyone have any old fglrx versions? [off-topic]
by Larry Stotler 21 Nov '16

21 Nov '16

Sorry to post this here but I've ran into a wall & I'm hoping one of you guys can help. I'm working on an old medical machine that runs Red Hat 8 & has kernel 2.6.15. I have been searching for an older version of the installer that will work with the Radeon 9800 AGP card, but I have had no luck. AMD's newest available version doesn't support Red Hat 8, so the installer fails. All the old links to drivers on their site are broken. If anyone has a copy of it or can point me to a place where I can download it I would be massively in your debt.

[opensuse] Trying to: Removing hibernate and suspend from kde menu
by cagsm 21 Nov '16

21 Nov '16

Learning the hard ways of gui stuff at linux ;) :( Reading: <https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/499676-Removing-suspend-hibernat…> they speak about: /etc/polkit-default-privs.local adding stuff there e.g. org.freedesktop.upower.suspend no org.freedesktop.login1.suspend no org.freedesktop.login1.suspend-multiple-sessions no and same for .hibernate Right some seconds ago I accidentally rebooted this machine, but only had the .suspend settings added to that file, and the kde start menu still shows the hibernate on the "Power / Session" submenu. I wonder what service(s) and daemons I need to reload or restart to make this /etc/polkit-default-privs.local file and its settings to be applied, as I even restarted the whole kde gui a.k.a. also even issued a ctrl+alt+backspace to frefresh the graphics driver or was it just to recycle the x-whatever layers of the linux. Still hibernate is still in my kde menu, so trying to find out what systemctl restart commands to issue to maybe make this silly system hide my hibernate entry in the kde menu? :) And even more at: <https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/506788-Disable-hibernation> <https://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/logind/> Thanks in advance.

Hmm, not so impressive after all - direct downloads from mirror.switch.ch and ftp.gwdg.de over ipv6 are both significantly faster than "aria2c -s10". Looking at a "aria2c http...", it has connections to ftp.opensuse.org hammurabi.acc.umu.se mirror.library.ucy.ac.cy ftp.kddlabs.co.jp 198.49.95.5 6bone.informatik.uni-leipzig.de gensho.acc.umu.se Sweden, Japan, Cyprus and the US? Those are most definitely not the fastest mirrors available. Not sure what aria2c is supposed to do, but that's not overly useful nor impressive. Seems to me as if aria2c is totally dependent on the bogus information handed out by our mirrorbrain @ download.opensuse.org. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (7.9°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - virtual servers, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
