Why does proxychain stay in the repo if git-hub claims: continuation of the unmaintained proxychains project O.K.......the presence of proxychains in the repo is: a) fruit of necrophilia? b) love for the tradition and good old times c) because it works...and the next generation does not d) because the "next generation" is still beta? e) because it does something that NG cannot do? I have to decide which one to install and to use, so it would be nice to do it with an informed (call it educated) decision. Thank you, (I hope the explains it a bit better.

[opensuse] Leap 42.1 Proxychains and proxychain-ng differences?
by stakanov＠freenet.de 02 Jul '16

02 Jul '16

What is technically the difference between the packages proxychains and proxychains-ng? I tried to understand but they seem identical. Is one a fork? Why was it forked then? Because both claim to do the very same thing AFAIU. I would like to chain e.g. tor and privoxy and maybe another proxy. I would also like to know if it is possible to dynamically use profiles that vary the proxychain in relation to the situation. Thank you. --- Mail & Cloud Made in Germany mit 3 GB Speicher! https://email.freenet.de/mail/Uebersicht?epid=e9900000450 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Rip DVDs
by Paul Groves 02 Jul '16

02 Jul '16

Hi, has anyone found a program that can rip dvds in full quality? (Like magic dvd ripper in windows) On magic DVD ripper you just put the disc in, choose a title to rip and a destination and go. Is there a program like this on linux? (Or a command to achieve the same thing)? I would prefer to rip to mkv I have tried handbrake VLC acid rip k3b and k9copy but the videos always come out with interlacing lines or the bitrate is fixed. (same issues on ubuntu as well) This is the only thing my linux install(s) currently cannot do that windows can. Would be nice to be able to uninstall windows 10 and free up the space on my disk.

[opensuse] leap42.1 - alt-tab not working drives me up the wall
by Per Jessen 02 Jul '16

02 Jul '16

I've more or less made it a habit to work on Leap42.1 for at least 2 hours a week. For testing (also my patience). Does anyone have an issue with alt-tab only "sort of" working? Sometimes it is ignored, sometimes I have to try three times. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (24.0°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - dedicated server rental in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] 4K QFHD laptop experience?
by Lew Wolfgang 01 Jul '16

01 Jul '16

Hi Folks, I have a customer who says they need a 17-inch 4K QFHD (3840x2160) laptop. Defer for a minute discussion that this is a wise choice in the first place, does anyone have any experience with Leap working on a 4K display? It would probably have an Nvidia Geforce GTX 98M frame buffer. It would also have 64-GB of RAM.

[opensuse] Encryption in a VM?
by Greg Freemyer 01 Jul '16

01 Jul '16

I'm about to setup a new virtual box VM. I see VB has the ability to encrypt the VM in full, or I can use LUKS to do it at the openSUSE level. I don't want to do both due to paying double the performance hit. Does anyone know the pros / cons of using VB to encrypt vs LUKS? Can both achieve DOD level security? If I go with LUKS, it will be a first for me. Is there a simple write-up of how to do that via the Yast Installer?

[opensuse] KDE4 scribus properties and kcalc windows at the same time
by Istvan Gabor 01 Jul '16

01 Jul '16

Hello: This occurs in openSUSE 13.1 with KDE4. I use scribus and it's properties window. When I start kcalc, the properties window of scribus disappears, get inactivated in the panel task bar. If I activate it clicking it in the panel task bar, kcalc becomes inactivated. I cannot have both in activated mode. How can I fix this? I have to enter into kcalc values I read from scribus properties window.

[opensuse] Software Updater config question.
by ianseeks 01 Jul '16

01 Jul '16

Hi Is there a way to tell it to check just on login? It only seems to have Daily, weekly or monthly. It does appear to have a time during the day it checks as when i use the login i'm using now, it never checks until later in the day. But with some of the other logins i use later in the day, the updater seems to check as soon as i login. Is it configured to check after 12 noon or something?

[opensuse] Login fails with Wicked disabled/Network manager enabled.
by Aus 01 Jul '16

01 Jul '16

I have a small problem with my latest xfce/tumbleweed install. If I change Wicked service to network manager service in network settings (I like the system tray status icon), the login hangs after entering the password. I couldn't see anything obvious in journal and as far as I know the requirements for network manager are installed. Any ideas/help.
