[opensuse] YaST manual?
by Dave Howorth 01 Aug '17

01 Aug '17

The latest updates to the system want to install two Noto emoji fonts. That annoys me because I can't see ever wanting any emoji font, let alone a google one, let alone two of the bl**d things. So YaST updater tells me that the fonts are 'recommended' by a 'security' update to chromium. WTF! So I would like to tell YaST not to install those recommendations, but I can't figure out how to do it. Why does YaST not tell me those fonts are recommendations rather than real dependencies? Why does it not give me the opportunity to choose whether to install them? The online help says to refer to the manual for details but doesn't provide a link. https://en.opensuse.org/System_Updates says to refer to YaST Online Update = http://doc.opensuse.org/products/opensuse/openSUSE/opensuse-reference/cha.o… but when I click on that link it takes me to https://doc.opensuse.org/ and when I select the HTML version of the Reference Guide it seems there is no such chapter - the word Update apears only once in the contents - 'Dynamic Update of Zone Data' and none of the occurences of the word YaST appear relevant. Google helpfully shows me the page https://en.opensuse.org/YaST_Online_Update but that says nothing either. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] No xfce in 42.3
by Roger Price 01 Aug '17

01 Aug '17

For some years I have been using lxde and later xfce with openSUSE versions up to 42.2. I am now doing a net install of 42.3 with, I had hoped, xfce. Previously this was a simple choice on the User Interface page, but this choice has disappeared with 42.3. All I see is User Interface Please select a user interface * Desktop with KDE Plasma * Desktop with Gnome * Server (Text Mode) * Custom Why has xfce been removed? Is there some way of getting an xfce desktop on openSUSE 42.3 as I had with 42.2?

[opensuse] 42.3: NET install via WiFi :-)
by Roger Price 01 Aug '17

I installed 42.3 via a TP-Link TL-WN722N (Atheros AR9271) which was detected automatically. This is the first time in my experience that a NET install has succeeded via WiFi. Well done!
