In gnome /cinnamon/etc you just need to put the file in ~/Templates. Thank you!

[opensuse] Custom patterns for "New File" in plasma
by Efrem Novak 19 Aug '17

19 Aug '17

Hello. Does anyone know how to add custom templates (.ods file for example) to "Create New" in right-click-menu in plasma? Google says that I should place my files in ~/.local/share/templates and /usr/share/templates, but seems like it doesn't work. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] 42.3: No graphical login after upgrade
by Daniel Bauer 18 Aug '17

18 Aug '17

Hi, I just upgraded to 42.3. It seems to boot normal, but where the graphical login should appear is only a black screen with a mouse-pointer (that I can move) - and nothing happens... If in the boot menu I choose and older Kernel (4.4.74-18.20) I can log in to KDE. That's from where I write now. Where and what can I check so that I can boot normally? Thanks for your help!

[opensuse] Shared WiFi - 42.3 & KDE
by James Knott 18 Aug '17

18 Aug '17

In the network manager, there is an option for a "Wi-Fi (shared) connection. I assume this is the same as the hot spot connection in Windows 10, which allows sharing an Ethernet connection with other devices. After I set up the connection and try to use it, I get an authentication problem, even though I'm using the correct password. Any idea what the problem might be? tnx jk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] a "spicy" problem. When joining a usb device - permission denied
by stakanov 18 Aug '17

18 Aug '17

I have a user on a machine with kvm/quemu and spice. All installed. Devices are visible, spice is popping up in the windows guest system (win7) for e.g. TomTom usb device rightly connected. It asks for the root password. I give it. But then spice says (with the right(!) password given) that I do not have the permission to join the device. Puzzling is I am already as user part of kvm, quemu and spice. What do I miss or do I wrong? Any suggestion? If I do join the device as usb device in kvm it works but is not useful because update operation require often reboot and afterwards the device seem not recognizes any more by kvm. Thank you in advance. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] YaST not showing source code packages
by Marc Chamberlin 18 Aug '17

18 Aug '17

OK I'll bite, got no clue what I am doing wrong but, under both Leap 42.2 and Leap42.3, I cannot get YaST to show me any source code packages for either the OSS or Non-OSS repos. All repositories are enabled and set to autorefresh. openSUSE-Leap-42.2-Source URL: http://download.opensuse.org/source/distribution/leap/42.2/repo/oss/ Category: YaST openSUSE-Leap-42.2-Source-Non-Oss URL: http://download.opensuse.org/source/distribution/leap/42.2/repo/non-oss/ Category: YaST *openSUSE-Leap-42.3-Source *URL: http://download.opensuse.org/source/distribution/leap/42.3/repo/oss/ Category: YaST *openSUSE-Leap-42.3-Source-Non-Oss* URL: http://download.opensuse.org/source/distribution/leap/42.3/repo/non-oss/ Category: YaST What gives? Is YaST sick and chocking on the source code repositories for some reason I don't grok?

[opensuse] Tumbleweed conflict during zypper dup
by Christopher Myers 18 Aug '17

18 Aug '17

I'm getting ready to upgrade Tumbleweed this morning via the usual "zypper dup" command, and it's throwing this warning: Checking for file conflicts: ...............................................................................................................................................[error] Detected 1 file conflict: File /usr/lib/liblua.so.5.3 from install of liblua5_3-5-32bit-5.3.4-1.1.x86_64 (openSUSE-Tumbleweed-Oss) conflicts with file from package liblua5_3-32bit-5.3.3-2.2.x86_64 (@System) File conflicts happen when two packages attempt to install files with the same name but different contents. If you continue, conflicting files will be replaced losing the previous content. Continue? [yes/no] (no): Should I let it replace the package, or should I tell it not to? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Automatic choice of Routing Device
by don fisher 18 Aug '17

18 Aug '17

Is there a way to set up, under Yast, a system so that when I switch from wireless to cable the routing device will switch from wlan0 to eth0. I now have to run Yast every time I plug in my Ethernet cable. "-" does not appear to work for me.
