[opensuse] Samsung printer problem under Leap 4.21
by Terry Eck 20 Apr '16

20 Apr '16

The Samsung printer is 2955DW. Worked great under previous versions of OpenSuse (12.x series). Currently running 64bit Leap 4.21 with same printer. I can setup the printer using "Configure Printers" under Hardware in YaST. The test page works and it appears the printer is working. However, when I try to print, the printer starts and then stops without printing. I can then go into YaST under Printer and "Edit" the Printer Configuration by checking the Enable Printing box. Once this is done, the printer finishes printing the file. This process has to be preformed every time I want to print. Any idea how to solve this problem.

[opensuse] Krusader SMB Error
by Joe Khamis 20 Apr '16

20 Apr '16

Greetings All! Running Tumbleweed (20160416) 4.5.0-3-default #1 x86_64 GNU/Linux Up until a recent 'zypper dup' I could use Krusader to issue a 'New Net Connection' (mapping to local NAS drive). [ Protocol smb:// , IP Address and username and password ] Now I receive the following : Error: Could not start process Unable to create io-slave: klauncher said: Error loading 'kio_smb'. rpm -qa krusader produces this : krusader-2.4.0~beta3-14.81.x86_64 Tried the 'SMB link' in Midnight Commander and that works (albeit a little slower). Any help or feedback would be appreciated. -- Joe Khamis | Director | Khamis Consulting Pty. Ltd.

Also, given that swap is only holding stuff that has since closed, in preparation for shut down, there's nothing in there worth keeping. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] openSUSE 13.1 and Badlock
by Bjoern Voigt 19 Apr '16

19 Apr '16

It's not my problem (no 13.1 installations), but just for interest: Will openSUSE 13.1 get a Badlock security fix as a normal update? The Evergreen team should be responsible for this. Currently I only see unofficial updates for openSUSE 13.1 on https://software.opensuse.org/package/samba: openSUSE 13.1 official update 4.1.9 (Badlock vulnerable) network:samba:STABLE 4.4.2 (fixed) network:samba:TESTING 4.4.0 (Badlock vulnerable) home:j-engel 4.4.2 (fixed) Greetings, Björn -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

Besides the URL not being correct, Amey, if you click on "Events" you should be able to see the events and ask for travel support from that page. -- Gertjan Lettink, a.k.a.

[opensuse] ipv6 icmp redirect ?
by Per Jessen 19 Apr '16

19 Apr '16

For IPv4 I had to fiddle with /proc/sys/net/ipv4/route/redirect_silence, but I don't see an equivalent for IPv6. I'm having trouble getting ipv6 redirects generated, and I am wondering if there is anything special I need to do - on a typical openSUSE system? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (4.7°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

My built in sound card has failed. The headphone jack does work. Is there any audio reason to get a usb sound card? If so, do you have recommendations for one? Bob Rea -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
