[opensuse] kde and auto firefox focus - opensuse
by Rejaine Monteiro 21 Jun '17

21 Jun '17

Hi all, Maybe this is not the ideal list to get this doubt, but does anyone know there is any way to force the focus of firefox when minimized (auto maximize) when a deriminated site has an update or send a alert? Currently, if firefox is minimized and the page sends an alert, kde only 'blinks' in the taskbar I've already changed Windows Behavior -> Focus stealing prevent level to NONE, but it did not solve ... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Having requests for linux-browser forwarded to another machine (simple solution)...
by L A Walsh 21 Jun '17

21 Jun '17

Thought I'd share a minor success -- getting links clicked in apps on my linux-box to open on my local-windows desktop. Note, when I say 'local', its about my desktop being < 1 meter away and my linux server being about 8 meters away, in another room, so 'local' is relative. Thought I'd also share the steps to arrange this, simple as they are at least they can be documented. First, I added an app to the applications directory at /usr/share/applications/palemoon.desktop (attached) I based it off the entry for firefox with few modifications. In my home directory, my "~/bin" is in my PATH. There I added a "palemoon" script. It's a 1-line bash script that uses 'rsh' to login from linux to my desktop (WinBox): -------- #!/bin/bash rsh -n -l 'MyDomain\lwalsh' WinBox runapp palemoon "$@" -------- Since my linux & windows box's have a direct connect cable that isn't exposed to the internet, I use 'rsh' to start the "runapp" script on the windows machine. Equivalently, (unrelated to making this work, but an alternate way to run something remotely w/ssh) I have another script that runs from linux and checks something on Windows. I use linux to poll windows, as it's more reliable and it sends me email when it fails. The best you get w/windows is a message in a binary log when it fails -- not very good for alerting me of an abnormal condition. It is the equivalent format as the rsh runner: -------- #!/bin/bash ssh -n -T 'MyDomain\lwalsh'@WinBox bin/script "$@" -------- Of note: in both cases, the scripts wait for the remote to finish -- unnoticeable for the ssh-run script except that it records execution errors into the cron-output that is emailed to me on failure. In the rsh case, since it is running a browser -- if it is the 1st instance, it really waits until that instance has exited, while instances sent w/the browser already running return immediately. I can change the 1st wait in various places if I want (probably will in 'runapp'). Runapp is my "dispatcher" -- I could have called palemoon directly, but this way, 'runapp' can contain the path or read the windows registry for the path. Runapp allows me to put future improvements/changes in 1 place that is app-independent, I could even have runapp launch a windows handler based on the arg-type (email for a mailto: link, browser for URL, music player for a music file...etc). Right now, runapp just looks up the app and I have it's path encoded in the script. It's also attached. Thats pretty much it. 3 files (one of which is the 1-line forwarder listed above). For simple use, probably don't need much more than this, but could extend it to wherever I want it to go. Any questions, please ask... Thanks for the help in finding the change-point(s). BTW -- Any linux app that is already running needs to be restarted to read new info in the "applications" directory. That had me worried for a bit until I restarted...

Hi Folks, I have a feeling that this was noticed before, so sorry if this is a repeat. What happened to http://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/leap/? The other versions are there, but leap is missing in action. Regards, Lew -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] What has happened with mysql-community-server?
by Bjoern Voigt 20 Jun '17

20 Jun '17

The latest Thumbleweed upgrade replaced my mysql-community-server-5.6.36-2.2.x86_64 installation with mariadb. mysql-community-server is not available anymore in official Thumbleweed repositories. Why? zypper ref; zypper dup --no-allow-vendor-change [...] The following 6 NEW packages are going to be installed: kernel-default-4.11.6-4.4.ge566a4a libjemalloc2 libthrift-0_9_3 mariadb mariadb-client python2-atspi The following 6 packages are going to be REMOVED: kernel-default-4.11.6-4.3.ge566a4a libmysql56client18 mysql-community-server mysql-community-server-client mysql-community-server-errormessages python-atspi [...] It took my some time to downgrade mariadb to mysql-community-server. Personally I would like to see mysql-community-server in >= 5.7.18 version instead of MySQL 5.6. The compilation problems for MySQL 5.7.x on openSUSE are fixed with 5.7.18, but there is some packaging work to do. Who is interested?

[opensuse] multiple kernels?
by George from the tribe 20 Jun '17

20 Jun '17

Is this a problem? I noticed this when I was running an update on my smaller laptop: ----------------------- # zypper up Loading repository data... Reading installed packages... The following 4 package updates will NOT be installed: audacity flac libFLAC++6 libFLAC8 The following 2 NEW packages are going to be installed: kernel-devel-4.4.70-18.9.1 kernel-source-4.4.70-18.9.1 ---------------------- I was thinking, I thought I had kernel 4.11 from the kernel:stable repo, as that is what I have been using on this laptop. So, I ran this: ---------------------- george@tribetrekDell:~> uname -r 4.11.3-1.g7262353-default george@tribetrekDell:~> rpm -q kernel-devel kernel-devel-4.7.6-1.1.gfb37fcc.noarch kernel-devel-4.7.5-3.1.ge3f5518.noarch kernel-devel-4.4.62-18.6.1.noarch kernel-devel-4.11.3-1.1.g7262353.noarch george@tribetrekDell:~> rpm -q kernel-default kernel-default-4.7.5-3.1.ge3f5518.x86_64 kernel-default-4.11.3-1.1.g7262353.x86_64 ---------------------- Sure enough, I am running kernel 4.11, but I have packages for multiple kernels installed, and the update packages that zypper is saying it is going to install are not even matching to the kernel I am using. Maybe this is contributing to why this system seems so unstable when I am running KDE? Any ideas on why these multiple kernel packages are installed, and possibly, how to fix? I assumed that when updates have been made in the past, the dependencies features should have removed old packages. I only use zypper up to update my system. -- George Box: 42.2 | KDE Plasma 5.8 | AMD Phenom IIX4 | 64 | 32GB Laptop #1: 42.2 | Gnome 3.20 | AMD FX 7TH GEN | 64 | 12GB Laptop #2: 42.2 | KDE Plasma 5.8 | Core i5 | 64 | 8GB -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] wget source from 2012 being used in leap? Security Alert!
by L A Walsh 20 Jun '17

20 Jun '17

I have wget 1.16 loaded in 13.2 and was wanting to get a later version and thought to look at leap 42.3. That is one of the more recent releases, no? Why would 42.3 have wget 1.14 in it from 2012?? Seems it would be missing even more security patches.... Latest wget version is 1.19. So what am I doing wrong? Isn't leap supposed to be for one of the newer releases? How could it be possible that a version prior to suse13.2 being released? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] kmail and akonadiserver:
by Constant Brouerius van Nidek 20 Jun '17

20 Jun '17

Seems that kmail starts behaving even better after the last three updates. But sending this email did not work from kmail. Do not know if and when it starts working. I can now delete emails without running into problems. Still my mail filter is not working properly with the incomming mail from three pop3 accounts. If I let the filter run in the automatic filter mode I get a lot of duplicates. Trying to remove dups does not work. Manualy filtering is the only solution folowed by akonadictl fsck/ vacuum/ restart. Looking into the akonadictl restart message I found following info which looks like an error message: org.kde.pim.akonadiserver: "Cannot connect to agent instance with identifier 'akonadi_maildir_resource_0', error message: ''" Could this be the culprit or should I look further? How is the general feeling about the overall health of kmail? -- opensuse:tumbleweed:20170615 Qt: 5.9.0 KDE Frameworks: 5.34.0 kf5-config: 1.0 KDE Plasma: 5.10.1 plasmashell 5.10.1 Kernel: 4.11.4-1-default Linux User 183145 working on a Pentium IV . -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
