To tell the truth, everything will depend on what you do. I encountered no problem with email and with the office (actually the 5.0 libre office of Leap is far more efficient than the 4.x of 13.2. Screensaver has some trouble (but not so many). Depends also on your hardware, with Intel chip-set it is quite o.k. ATI also, with nvidia you have some quirks AFAIK. Blender should work fine on both. Encryption on Leap with usb-key does work-- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Grub 2 question: can I configure a default entry?
by Carlos E. R. 25 Jul '16

25 Jul '16

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I have finally upgraded my main hard disk, grom 500GB to 2000GB. So I had to also migrate my 13.1 system with grub1 to a GPT disk. Worked fine. The problem is elsewhere. The computer is oldish, BIOS only. The main disk is GPT. The protective MBR has "Syslinux GPTMBR (4.04-5.01)", which boots the partition that has the flag legacy_boot. In that partition there is a grub 2 boot system pertaining to a Leap 42.1 install. This system, instead of automatically generating entries for other systems, has manual entries in /boot/grub2/custom.cfg like: menuentry 'Main (with uuid)' { insmod part_gpt insmod ext2 set root='hd0,gpt5' if search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root e99d9dcb-869d-4a24-94cf-cba32f169b8d ; then chainloader +1 else echo Could not find this OS instance, will not boot (3) sleep 1 fi } (thanks to Andrei Borzenkov and others for setting up that idea) So that the menu writes entries to the boot screen (from memory) like these: Leap 42.1 Advanced options for Leap Main (with uuid) 11.4 (with uuid) etc. Well, the question is whether it is possible to change the default entry, which now is the first line (automatically generated) to the third one (manually generated).

[opensuse] most fonts not available in libreOffice
by Daniel Bauer 24 Jul '16

24 Jul '16

Hi, I am here on leap 42.1, KDE 5, Libre Office Version: 5.1.3.2 Most of my system-wide installed fonts do not appear in the fonts dialog of libreOffice. I can use all fonts in Gimp, Digikam etc., but not in libreOffice. I have all fonts installed as System fonts, none in personal fonts. Under 13.2 I could use all fonts in libreOffice, too. Is there a way to get my fonts work in this program? I am missing most basic fonts like Helvetica etc., fonts I once bought from adobe... Thanks for your help.

[opensuse] How can I set a GPT partition flag?
by Carlos E. R. 24 Jul '16

24 Jul '16

Hi, Seeing that I can not select a predefined boot entry of my choice in grub2 (see thread "Grub 2 question: can I configure a default entry?", I have an alternate method possible: Gestor:~ # parted /dev/sda print Model: ATA ST2000DM001-1CH1 (scsi) Disk /dev/sda: 2000GB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/4096B Partition Table: gpt Disk Flags: Number Start End Size File system Name Flags 1 1049kB 8389kB 7340kB primary bios_grub 2 8389kB 21.5GB 21.5GB ext4 primary legacy_boot 3 21.5GB 37.6GB 16.1GB linux-swap(v1) primary 4 37.6GB 38.7GB 1078MB ext2 primary 5 38.7GB 39.7GB 1077MB ext2 primary Change the "legacy_boot" flag to partition 5 or back when needed. I just have to find a command that does that easily, on the command line. man parted: set partition flag state Change the state of the flag on partition to state. Supported flags are: "boot", "root", "swap", "hidden", "raid", "lvm", "lba", "legacy_boot", "irst" and "palo". state should be either "on" or "off". So I think it would be: parted /dev/sda set 5 on But I get: Gestor:~ # parted /dev/sda set 5 on parted: invalid token: on Flag to Invert? ^C Gestor:~ # I see no examples in the man page. Ideas? -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

[opensuse] UEFI Recommendations?
by John Andersen 22 Jul '16

22 Jul '16

Building a new mini-server on a Gigabyte Motherboard (GA-J1900N-D3V)that has both Legacy and UEFI support. Will maybe have software raid mirrored drives, two network interfaces, and handle mail and firewall/routing. Did a test install in Legacy mode to find out if all the hardware works, and am satisfied that it does what I need for it to do. Before I get too committed to this machine I might want to install in UEFI mode for whatever protections it might offer against getting hacked. Which would be wiser, stick with old legacy, or install in UEFI Mode. Any experiences? and recommendations? Is OpenSUSE handling all aspects of UEFI well these days? Are upgrades a pain? -- After all is said and done, more is said than done. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Application:Geo and openSUSE:Backports
by Martin Pluskal 21 Jul '16

21 Jul '16

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hello In near future (~2 weeks), we would like to replace SLE-12 and SLE-12- SP build targets/repositories in Application:Geo [1] with openSUSE:Backports:SLE-12 and openSUSE:Backports:SLE-12-SP1 [2]. This has some advantages - common build dependencies shared with other projects, which are not present in SLE can be placed in one common project (openSUSE:Backports) so that: * we can avoid package conflicts * have some additional review/increased quality with reduced effort * reduce need of project maintainers to check which package is linked where and if its still needed. What does it mean for you if you are using Application:Geo and: * are using Tumleweed or Leap - nothing changes at all * are using SLE-12* - you will have to replace Application:Geo/SLE_12 with Application:Geo/SLE_12_Backports or Application:Geo/SLE_12_SP1 with Application:Geo/SLE_12_SP1_Backports and add corresponding backports repository. We are also preparing to push gdal and its dependencies to openSUSE:Backports project. Apart from this, SLE-11-SP4 repo/build target is also going to be removed as most packages were failing to build anyway. 13.1 will stay until end of community support for Evergreen (November 2016). In case of questions feel free to ask.

[opensuse] about ffmpeg: is it possible to remove intervals?
by Carlos E. R. 20 Jul '16

20 Jul '16

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I'm asking because the manual is long and complex, so I may have missed it. I know how to extract one section from a video stream. If there are start and end marks, I can cut that "in" with -ss 00:10 -t 00:10:00 (time, duration). input ------------<-------------------------------------->----------- output -------------------------------------- What I wonder is if there is a method to also remove a section in the middle. Say, from a movie with commercials. Yes, I know there are other tools, but unfortunately ffmpeg is the only tool that works on this particular source of streams. The only idea I have is to produce multiple chunks and then join them, somehow. I haven't worked out this method yet. - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.

[opensuse] Plasma debug symbols?
by Mikhail Ramendik 17 Jul '16

17 Jul '16

Hello, I had a sudden Plasma crash yesterday, complete with the monitor getting stuck in SLeep mode for a few minutes. KDE failed to send an automatic bug report because it had no debug symbols and could not install them. How do I install debug symbols, so that if the crash repeats a bug report can be sent? I tried yast and could not find an applicable package. -- Yours, Mikhail Ramendik Unless explicitly stated, all opinions in my mail are my own and do not reflect the views of any organization -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
