[opensuse] No longer possible to install Google Chrome browser on 13.2?
by Roger Price 04 Mar '16

04 Mar '16

I would like to add the Google Chrome browser to a fresh 13.2, so I downloaded the 64bit rpm and tried to install it: pinta:~ # rpm -Uvh google-chrome-stable_current_x86_64.rpm attention : google-chrome-stable_current_x86_64.rpm: Entête V4 DSA/SHA1 Signature, clé ID 7fac5991: NOKEY erreur : Dépendances requises: lsb >= 4.0 est nécessaire pour google-chrome-stable-49.0.2623.75-1.x86_64 The error message calls for a more recent lsb, >= 4.0. I see that lsb is a part of the filesystem package: pinta:~ # rpm -qf /lib/lsb filesystem-13.2-4.3.1.x86_64 which is more recent than 4.0. Has anyone managed to install google-chrome-stable-49.0.2623.75-1.x86_64 on 13.2? Roger

[opensuse] quality of usb hubs ?
by Per Jessen 03 Mar '16

03 Mar '16

I've been playing with an Intel Compute Stick which has just one USB port. I've attached a cheap USB-hub to add another 3 ports - one for a USB harddrive, one for the wireless keyboard+mouse and one for a wifi dongle. I tried building a kernel (/usr/src/linux on the usb harddrive) with make -j4, but this led almost immediately to a crash/disconnect/io-errors, so I scaled back to make -j1. I was wondering if I should be worried about the technnical quality of the USB hub? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (3.1°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - your free DNS host, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] How to get Nvidia Geforce GTX 960 M working?
by Daniel Bauer 03 Mar '16

03 Mar '16

Hi again :-) I am installing leap on my new Asus GL552VW-CN113T that has an intel graphics chip and a Nvidia Geforce GTX 960 M. So I added the nvidia repository, gave it "98" and run a zypper dup on my fresh and fully updated install. When I clicked on the Nvidia-Settings it said I must run nvidia-xconfig as root, what I did. I got some error messages about missing things (sorry, don't remember exactly what it was) and then - after logging out/in - there was no KDE anymore, only a text-login. No way to get the graphical environment back, removing all proprietary nvidia things with yast did not help. Ok, no problem, this is a virgin computer and I simply reinstalled the whole system. Now I have it all updated again (right now without the nvidia-repo...) and would love to make use of this graphic card... How do I proceed? Googling tells me a lot about optimus and bumblebee, but I cannot find out if I have an optimus thing (the asus site does not mention this word, and the nvidia page about the card neither). Google also told me to disable intel graphics in the bios, but there is no such possibility (can only allocate more or less memory). Thanks for your help!

[opensuse] New HP printer (MFP M127) not working via network
by Koenraad Lelong 03 Mar '16

03 Mar '16

Hi, I'm trying to get my new printer to print, It's a Laserjet Pro MFP M127fw. It needs HPLIP to function. When connected via USB, it prints. When connected via the wired network, it's not printing. The printer detects there is a printjob, signals "Document printing" but then hangs. Scanning via the network works fine, as is the web-interface of the printer. Anyone has suggestions how to try to fix this ? hp-doctor does not signal any problems IFAICT. I tried with OS 13.1 and OS 13.2. Thanks, Koenraad. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] A router has become talkative on 'ssdp', should I allow or not? And how?

The destination is my desktop computer. The source port I can identify as "ssdp', but the destination port is not registered to any service. Should I open it, and would it give me any advantage? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_Service_Discovery_Protocol The Simple Service Discovery Protocol (SSDP) is a network protocol based on the Internet Protocol Suite for advertisement and discovery of network services and presence information. It accomplishes this without assistance of server-based configuration mechanisms, such as the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) or the Domain Name System (DNS), and without special static configuration of a network host. SSDP is the basis of the discovery protocol of Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) and is intended for use in residential or small office environments. It was formally described in an IETF Internet draft by Microsoft and Hewlett-Packard in 1999. Although the IETF proposal has since expired,[1] SSDP was incorporated into the UPnP protocol stack, and a description of the final implementation is included in UPnP standards documents.[2] (I find it strange to open a port such as 10277) I have started wireshark listening to traffic from 192.168.1.5, and I see it is sending those packages I see in the firewall, and others to 239.255.255.250, which I find strange.

[opensuse] backporting OBS build of Base:System(systemd v = 228) to Leap; builds, but rpm install returns "Problem: nothing provides this-is-only-for-build-envs needed by systemd" ?

I want to use systemd-boot for UEFI boot on openSUSE Leap 42.1. Leap's systemd is at v = systemd-210-86.1.x86_64. systemd-boot available for v >= 220.

[opensuse] which spreadsheet program to choose?
by Felix Miata 02 Mar '16

02 Mar '16

I'm using 42.1 with KDE3 as primary OS and DE, with 13.1, 13.2, TW, Mageia, Fedora and more, with Plasma5, KDE4 and TDE, available on other machines. I've been using OS/2 to run Quatro Pro for DOS for over 20 years, but I needed a bit more flexibility for a bug hunt project, more columns on screen at once than a DOS app can manage. I tried KSpread (kde3-koffice-spreadsheet), which just cost me 5 day's work as explained on the opensuse-kde3 list on 2016-02-29 04:01 (UTC-0500). (Archiving seems to be broken at least for -kde3 if not others) I tried installing LibreOffice, but it was unusable, ignoring the DE's DPI, resulting in insanely tiny text in both UI and content, and icons worse than uselessly small. I tried Apache's OpenOffice, but it crashes on startup: https://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2016-02/msg01431.html Cloud SS apps like Google's are not an option. The only others I recognize as spreadsheets in YaST are Calligra (KDE?), and Gnumeric (Gnome). Anyone have a spreadsheet to recommend? Maybe I should stick with KOffice, just with other file formats than .sxc? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
