[opensuse] kicker bar and grouped programs

by Marc Chamberlin

There is a small annoyance with the kicker bar and grouped programs that I wonder if it has been addressed/fixed/worked around. I often open a number of windows for Firefox (and other programs) and configure the kicker bar to allow such collections to be grouped together. This allows the grouped list to be presented as a popup list of window titles instead of having one icon per each window displayed in the kicker bar. The trouble is that there are one or two items of the list that are not presented above the kicker bar and instead the kicker bar overlays on top of them. This prevents one from being able to click on that item in order to open up the window associated with it. Any ideas on how to fix this? I tried Google searches but suspect I am not using the right terminology or phrasing my queries correctly in order to find a solution. Is this a KDE issue? (I am not always sure where the line is drawn that separates KDE things from SuSE things...)

[opensuse] Re: [opensuse-factory] Keyboard Mapping in KDE

As made, keyboards "know" nothing of markets or languages. They simply produce a key code, depending on the key pressed. It is the software that translates that key code into the appropriate character. My keyboards are made for U.S. English, but I have changed the layout to International English. So, somewhere, there is a mapping of key to character and the maps are easy to change. However, it would be nice to be able to change an individual key within that map. For example, I have occasionally used the Greek layout, to get some math symbols. One thing I've noticed is where it's supposed to produce the ohm symbol, as used in electronics, it instead produces the omega symbol, as used in math. I'd like to be able to change that. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] 42.2 - plymouth-start.service: Failed with result 'core-dump'.

by listreader

Moving a machine from 42.1/LXDE(gtk) to 42.2/XFCE by fresh install. From the log: systemd[1]: Received SIGRTMIN+21 from PID 306 (plymouthd). display-manager[1419]: error: unexpectedly disconnected from boot status daemon systemd[1]: plymouth-start.service: Main process exited, code=dumped, status=11/SEGV systemd[1]: plymouth-start.service: Unit entered failed state. systemd[1]: plymouth-start.service: Failed with result 'core-dump'. But the machine boots fine, including asking for the two different required LUKS passwords, then the user password, and then into the gui. What is? Thanks.

[opensuse] yast, cups

by marco

Hello all. I have a server in which I can't manage cups using yast. CUPS works without any problem on http://localhost:631 and lpr, lpq, lpstat, etc are OK. However yast complains that the cups server is not reachable on localhost. Any idea? How is yast accessing cups?

[opensuse] Problem with kmail4 after unsuccessful try to update to Kmail5

by Stakanov Schufter

Hi, I was trying to update to kmail5 (current version Leap 42.2). However the result was so problematic (flickering, no possibility to use menue, malfunction of the IMAP) that I turned to Kmail4. But now it does not work anymore. a) filters do not work at all b) when trying to send the programm gives the following error message. Impossible to recover d-bus interface of the mailfilteragent. I would like to know if this can be fixed by starting some service or by installing some more rpm, maybe some forgotten dependency not drawn in automaticly? I would have tried to use Kmail5 / Kontact5 but as long as my system becomes a flickering discotec and no menue whatsoever in KDE can be used (because they all collapse within seconds, and the flicker of all buttons, etc) this will be difficult. So at least I would like to have the status quo back. Thank you. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] kdenlive version check

by ianseeks

HI According to yast, the version of kdenlive i have installed is 16.12.3-1.1 but the debug-info/source/lang (not installed) are for 17.04.1-1.1 - The latest version, according the their website, for download is 17.04.1. The instructions for an opensuse 42.1/tumbleweed install, also according the their website, is "zypper install kdenlive5". So has the binary name changed and does anyone know when the binary version match the debug-info/source/lang files? I don't seem to have some features as shown on some youtube videos of versions earlier than mine (its very possible its a config change i need to do). Regards Ian -- opensuse:tumbleweed:20170516 Qt: 5.7.1 KDE Frameworks: 5.33.0 KDE Plasma: 5.9.5 kwin 5.9.5 kmail2 5.5.0 akonadiserver 5.5.0 Kernel: 4.11.0-1-default Nouveau: 1.0.15_1.1 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Bacula

by Marc Chamberlin

Hi - I think I will stick my neck out a bit and make an offer to see if there is any interest in Bacula. (maybe I can give back a bit to openSuSE for all it has done for me over the years..) I just spent quite a bit of effort getting Bacula 7.4 up an running on all my openSuSE Leap 42.2 systems and so far it now seems to be working pretty well. (I am using it with the MySQL/MariaDB database and make no claims on how to set it up for other databases.) I noted that Bacula no longer seems to be supported in the openSuSE distribution (dunno why, probably lack of interest or time to maintain it?) So, if there is any interest in it, and if some kind guru wants to help guide me along the path, I would be willing to share what it took to get it working and/or perhaps put it in a repository somewhere so that others could use it as well. Caveats however - I have absolutely no idea how, nor have I ever done anything like put together a package for software, so I am a complete novice in that regards. I did not make any modifications to the actual code for Bacula, nor did I have to build it from source, but I did have to add/modify a number of the scripts and config files associated with it to get it to work. I have it running as systemd services and think I kept it pretty much configured/installed on my systems in the openSuSE way of doing things, but again that might require some verification from an openSuSE guru because I do not claim to be any sort of expert on how openSuSE designers want to model/organize software. Also, I am doing disk based backups over a network and have not tested or done anything with tape drives so cannot speak to that. And I mostly use the monkey see monkey do approach and rely on some blind luck at times! ;-) FYI - I started with the bacula rpm package I found at http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/j-engel/openSUSE_Leap_42.2/… Any interest/takers? How should I proceed? Marc.... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

My experience and others of KDE5 or Plasma on Leap 42.2 is numerous problems with the desktop. I see fragments trailing the mouse cursor. Is anyone using XFCE on Leap 42.2? Are you having problems with the DE? TIA, Jeffrey -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
