[opensuse] Roll back kmail 5.3.0 to 5.2.3
by ianseeks 23 Aug '16

23 Aug '16

Hi Posted this to factory list by mistake.... Does anyone know how i can roll back kmail and related software? Its currently impossible to work with as it crashes so much for me at the moment. I've tried the work around but that does not work for me either as it does not load kmail.

[opensuse] Google Hangouts video no longer working with Firefox
by James Knott 23 Aug '16

23 Aug '16

The video chat in Hangouts stopped working recently. When I try to start a video chat, I get an error "The call ended because of an error". I'm then prompted to install the Hangouts pluggin. However, when I click on that, the Google Talk RPM is available for download, which is an earlier version than what I already have. After installing, it's still waiting for the pluggin to be installed. As a result, video chat is now impossible. Has anyone else experienced this? It's a very recent problem tnx jk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Q: Leap 42.1 + Dell SAS5/i or PERC5 SAS/SATA Drive Controller
by andreil1 22 Aug '16

22 Aug '16

Hi, folks, Anyone have experience with OpenSuSE (whatever except Enterprise) and Dell PowerEdge server with SAS5/i or PERC5 RAID controllers? Most important thing - is kernel driver built into Linux kernel, or must be compiled/loaded separately? I’m going to use Leap 42.1 64bit. Thanks in advance for any suggestion(s). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] copying knode config to a new installation
by Per Jessen 22 Aug '16

22 Aug '16

I know it's a bit of a long shot, but still - I want to copy my knode config from (a) to (b) - (a) being a current Leap421 system, (b) being a new one. I have copied .kde4/share/apps/knode and .kde4/share/config/knoderc, this seems to have mostly worked, except for my identity setting. Currently I dont have one, and the field for chaning it is greyed out. I obviously missed something? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (22.9°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] Removing/Disabling Klipper In GNOME
by Uzair Shamim 22 Aug '16

22 Aug '16

Hi, I made the mistake of installing two DE's and now whenever I log in to GNOME, klipper seems to always start up for some reason. Is there any way to get klipper to stop running on login? I dont see it listed in the startup applications. >From what I understand klipper was merged into plasma so its not a standalone application so I cannot just uninstall it. I have already tried the following in ~/.local/share/applications/org.kde.klipper.desktop: NotShowIn=KDE;Gnome; -- Regards, Uzair Shamim -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

by Constant Brouerius van Nidek 22 Aug '16

22 Aug '16

Using USB sticks for transfering files to be printed elsewhere I was wondering what formats can be read by windows. I have beeb using FA on a 2 Gb usb stick but formating a 16Gb usb stick runs into problems. Can windows read Linux formats like ext2 or ext4 formats. -- Qt: 5.6.1 KDE Frameworks: 5.24.0 kf5-config: 1.0 KDE Plasma: 5.7.2 Kernel: 4.7.0-2-default "openSUSE Tumbleweed (20160815) (x86_64)" -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

Adding fonts?
by Tracer Bullet 22 Aug '16

22 Aug '16

Hi all, Reading some mails on the GIMP mail list, I ran across the procedure to install some more fonts for not only Gimp, but the system and StarOffice to use also. Well, I installed the fonts, went to the shell and issued the command xset fp+ <font directory> and then the rehash command and all fonts are there! Ok, that went well, but each time I restart the system, I have to do it all over again? Is there a way to make it permanent and read the new fonts like it does the ones the system installs or is that a no-no? end of line Tracer Shell commands: xset fp+ <new font directory> xset fp rehash -- ---KMail 1.2--- SuSE Linux v7.2--- Registered Linux User #225206 /tracerb(a)sprintmail.com/ *Magic Page Products* *Team Amiga* http://home.sprintmail.com/~tracerb

[opensuse] gnome-terminal won't start on Leap 421
by Dave Howorth 21 Aug '16

21 Aug '16

I'm running Leap 421 with an LXDE desktop. When I select gnome-terminal from the application menu or from the launch bar, the cursor turns into a busy circle for a while but nothing else happens. When I try to start gnome-terminal from an lxterminal, I see: $ gnome-terminal Error constructing proxy for org.gnome.Terminal:/org/gnome/Terminal/Factory0: Error calling StartServiceByName for org.gnome.Terminal: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ChildExited: Process org.gnome.Terminal exited with status 8 Anybody have any idea of what is going on?

[opensuse] server without network
by jdd 21 Aug '16

21 Aug '16

Hello, For the second time I get hit by some bizarre problem with my network. I have an online server I obviously can only access with the network that become inaccessible, the network failing. This happened again yesterday night. To access the server I have to activate a rescue console, then bind mount the file system and I'm in. Last time, some month ago I didn't find the solution, but the install was old, so I simply installed a new system. But now it's the new system: Leap 42.1, II don't mind to reinstall. Hardware is ok, the Real Time monitoring gives all nice, the computer seems to boot, but it do not answer to ping nor ssh. Each round test needs remote hard reboot and so is pretty long what can I check first?
