[opensuse] gimp 4.9 16 bit
by buhorojo 07 Mar '16

07 Mar '16

leap 42 Hi We've tried both the unstable gimp repositories presented at sofware.opensuse.org but both go into a wrong libgimp dependency loop and won't load. Then when we have the correct libgimp another dependency, etc., Does anyone have a working 4.9?

[opensuse] Help with Alienware 17 R3 laptop
by don fisher 06 Mar '16

06 Mar '16

I have a few questions, some of which may be pretty dumb. I did look on Google for help with the graphics resolution but with no success. Has anybody else set one of these up? 1. My graphics consists of a Nvidia GTX980M and and Intel HD Graphics 530. Two controllers I guess. The native screen resolution is 3840x2160. When I attempt to load the Leap DVD installation, which I believe uses the Nouveau driver on the Nvidia hardware, the text is so small I can hardly read it. I do not understand how to control the mapping between the graphics controller and the screen. I was able to boot up one of my existing leap 4.1 distributions that resides on a USB drive. But again I could not read text on the screen due to the small size. I ran xrandr and it displayed various possible x/y resolution pairs. I executed one of the options, xrandr 1920x1440, and was able to get a magnified window of reduced size. Is there a way to tell X that I desire a zoom by at least a factor of two? When I attach an external monitor, windows can find it and write to it without problems. But windows may be using the Intel graphics rather than the Nvidia adapter. Anyway, xrandr does not show anything for the external HDMI port. 2. The Ethernet and wlan hardware is not recognized by the distribution DVD media. Windows says the Ethernet is a Killer e2400 Gigabit Ethernet Controller. The wlan is Killer wireless-n/a/ac 1535 wireless network adapter. Are these supported in the openSuse distribution, and if so why doesn’t the installation disk see them? Sorry, but with no network and invisible text on the screen life is a bit difficult. Any suggestion or pointers would be appreciated. As an aside, I attempted to run the Alienware on board diagnostics and was again presented with the unreadable small text. I did read the Alienware manuals and see no reference to screen resolution.

by stakanov＠freenet.de 06 Mar '16

06 Mar '16

For Leap: Did anybody change from kde PIM 4 in Leap to Version 5 and: did this take over all settings and mailboxes without problems? If you had quirks which one? And did you find a work around? Did the migration of kgpg based wallets work? Does anybody use smartcard based gpg mail encrytion with 5? Does it work?. Any warnings to be mentioned? Sorry for the many questions but before trying to migrate I try to gather some info. Thank you. --- Alle Postfächer an einem Ort.

[opensuse] resolved [was: HELP openSUSE_13.1 => 13.2 zypper frozen]
by Greg Freemyer 05 Mar '16

05 Mar '16

at least for now zypper is doing work again. there was a background rpm task doing an install of device_mapper. Once I killed that background task, and deleted the lock file (/var/lib/rpm/.rpm.lock) zypper started working again.

[opensuse] HELP openSUSE_13.1 => 13.2 zypper frozen
by Greg Freemyer 05 Mar '16

05 Mar '16

This is a first for me. I can't get zypper to install anything. Maybe I have a corrupt database? == details == I was upgrading a server from 13.1 to 13.2. No X functionality at all. I did: - zypper up (to get the final set of 13.1 updates) - zypper rr (to remove any extra repos) - sed to update the repos to 13.2 - zypper ref - zypper in zypper (just to be sure it was the latest) - zypper dup It downloaded ~1400 packages, then started installing. zypper froze for over 10 minutes on device-mapper install. I used cntrl-C to kill zypper. Now I can't get anything to update or delete via zypper. It just freezes. zypper goes thru the preliminary steps, then it freezes on the output line where it says the install is in progress.

[opensuse] Running an insecure Java Plug-in - How?
by Greg Freemyer 05 Mar '16

05 Mar '16

All, I need to run a web application that requires the Java Plug-in and I'm being blocked by the security setting. I need to set it down to "low" security. I know that is not smart to override in general, but in this case I've created VM specifically to run this one tool. If the tool breaks out of the Java sandbox it will be stuck in a VM with nothing of value in it. So now that I've done that, how to I lower the Java Security setting to "low"? == I assumed "jcontrol" run as my normal user would let me do it. I can adjust between high and very high. I've already added the website to the list exception sites. No luck yet. I think I need to set the security to "low" or something similar. == Environment: -- Leap 42.1 Firefox Oracle Java 8.update 73 The plugin is installed and working per https://www.java.com/verify Greg -- Greg Freemyer www.IntelligentAvatar.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Trying LiVES - an hour to load
by Carlos E. R. 05 Mar '16

05 Mar '16

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I'm also trying LiVES - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LiVES LiVES (LiVES Editing System) /ˈlaɪvz/ is a free video editing software and VJ tool, released under the GNU General Public License version 3 or later. There are binary versions available for most popular GNU/Linux distributions (including Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, Suse, Gentoo, Slackware, Arch Linux and Mandriva). There are also ports for BSD, and it will run under Solaris and IRIX. It has been compiled under OS X Leopard, but not thoroughly tested on that platform I have installed this one from Packman. It wanted to remove cdrtools, and instead install the compatibility package, which I did not allow. I told it to load a video. It has been doing so for the last hour, using 100% of one core. It just displays a big window, totally black, with a "waiting" mouse pointer. The video I told it to load is big, about 12GB, but this doesn't look normal. Processing a video is slow, but the initial load without displaying anything :-? Is this normal? - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.

[opensuse] Bash completion worse since last update
by Markus Egg 05 Mar '16

05 Mar '16

Just recently made an update because of glibc bug. Since then the bash completion or alias works completely different and is - in my opinion- unusable. Previous to that when I did ll direcory the cursor stopped after directory/ so that I could simply go on typing further directory names. Now it stops after directory * ( * = cursor, one space between the directory and cursor) I have to go back with backspace, type in '/' and then go on. Much more complicated. I know that "ll" is an alias but what changed for alias ll='ls -l' ? I cannot see any changes in /etc/profile.d for that. Did bash change somehow?
