Hello: Does such thing work with openSUSE / linux? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B073H2HLRK I think it should work as a regular USB 3/2 device. What to look for when buying some?

[opensuse] xrandr info HDMI-1 disconnected
by C. Brouerius van Nidek 26 Sep '17

26 Sep '17

After an interesting read about the inner working of xrandr I started reading the manpage. Got the version of my xrandr and got further info about my system. And then I was lost in a swell of info and possibilities. My problem with monitors is following: I am using as my main monitor a Philips 196V3L, 18,5" 13766x768. For movies and such I would like to use my television set with a bigger screen via HDMI. The TV has one HDMI plug which is connected with a box from the TV provider. If I disconnect the tv from the tv box and plug it in on my motherboard I can use HDMI as my second monitor. That is not feasible for daily use. I found myself a HDMI cable with one HDMI connector and on the other end three colored (green, blue and red) video plugs. When I plug this cable into the HDMI plug of the motherboard and the three colored video plugs int the TV set I expected to receive a signal on the TV set. The television set is only showing the input "component" with these three plugs inserted. With xrandr I read HDMI-1 and -2 disconnected. Also DP1 and 2 are not connected. How can I force a connection with the HDMI cable and would that change anything? -- opensuse:tumbleweed:20170913 Qt: 5.9.1 KDE Frameworks: 5.37.0 kf5-config: 1.0 KDE Plasma: 5.10.5 plasmashell 5.10.5 Kernel: 4.13.1-1-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

[opensuse] some mp4 cannot be played "decoder profile above limits"
by Daniel Bauer 26 Sep '17

26 Sep '17

Hi everybody "Suddenly" the mp4-videos from my mobile phone cannot be played anymore, no matter what player I use: it only shows a black screen plus plays the sound, but no image. As for my small tests it only affects the mp4 from my samsung mobile that are larger than 10MB (9.8MB works, 11.2MB does not work, neither larger). But downloaded mp4, avi, etc. work normally even in GB size. I tried to start from commandline, and maybe the messages say something to somebody of you...: vlc 20161005_085414.mp4 VLC media player 2.2.6 Umbrella (revision 2.2.6-0-g1aae78981c) [000055aac07500c8] core libvlc: VLC wird mit dem Standard-Interface ausgeführt.

[opensuse] What's the recommended way to setup Bumblebee with the proprietary NVIDIA driver on Tumbleweed?
by Noah Davis 25 Sep '17

25 Sep '17

I've been using the nvidia-bumblebee package from the X11:Bumblebee repository for a while now and it's still on version 375.66. Is any of the info in <https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:NVIDIA_Bumblebee> out of date? I installed the driver from the official nvidia repository and tried to set it up with Bumblebee like that article suggested I do with Leap on Tumbleweed and I also tried to do it based on <https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bumblebee>, but I had no luck. I went back to using the nvidia-bumblebee package. I'm using a GTX 960m, btw. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] change default mount options for vfat on flash drives
by Istvan Gabor 25 Sep '17

25 Sep '17

Hello: How can I change default (auto)mount options for vfat file system on removable flash disks (like sd cards) and pendrives? I would like to set options iocharset=winnt, time_offset=120 default when the drives are automatically mounted. I want this on openSUSE Leap 42.2 (KDE3 and KDE4 if it matters).

[opensuse] Black screen when plugging in VGA connector
by Carmen Bianca Bakker 25 Sep '17

25 Sep '17

Hi all, I have a Thinkpad X200 (Librebooted) that I'm faffing about with. Everything works as it ought, except I get some odd behaviour when I plug in a VGA connector. A moment after it is plugged in, the screen on the laptop goes black, except I can still see (and move) the cursor within the bounds of the laptop screen. The external monitor is also completely black. The cursor flickers a little bit. After I unplug the VGA connector, everything goes back to normal. This only happens when there is an actual monitor on the other end of the cable. Plugging in a loose cable does nothing. I haven't yet tried to connect to a different monitor. I have the output of `journalctl` during the behaviour here: http://susepaste.org/39924818 Particularly, this line sticks out to me: Sep 23 21:31:02 carmen-thinkpad kernel: [drm:intel_cpu_fifo_underrun_irq_handler [i915]] *ERROR* CPU pipe A FIFO underrun But it's not something I know how to interpret. I have tried: - Using IceWM instead of Gnome. - Using LightDM instead of GDM. - Using the VGA port on the dock instead of on the laptop. None of the above yielded positive results. Maybe someone can help me? Yours with gratitude, -- Carmen Bianca Bakker en eo fy nl

[opensuse] Pulseaudio frustration
by Rodney Baker 25 Sep '17

25 Sep '17

Hi all. How do I *permanently* disable pulseaudio’s module-rtp-send and module-rtp-recv from loading at login time? I’m running tumbleweed. Every time I login to KDE (5), pulseaudio starts spamming the network with multicast rtp traffic, until module-rtp-send/recv are unloaded. I cannot disable rtp sending/receiving with paprefs (PulseAudio Preferences): NONE of the check-boxes in that app respond except for “Add virtual output device for simultaneous output on all local sound cards). I have uninstalled paprefs and pactl, deleted ~/.pulse and ~/.config/pulse (whilst logged out), logged in and out, reinstalled paprefs/pactl and logged out/in again. Still no dice. My user is a member of the following groups: lp, wheel, cdrom, users (this is the primary group for all users on my system), vboxusers, video,audio,pulse- access. Some of these may not be necessary. Yes, I’ve tried logged on as a different user - the only difference is that all the checkboxes that are checked when logged in as me are unchecked when logged in as the other user, but still none can be changed! Oh, yes - KDE is using the phonon-gstreamer backend, if that is relevant at all. The module-load lines for module-rtp-send/recv are commented out in /etc/ pulse/default.pa, so they’re not being loaded from there. I cannot find any other pulse configuration files that would be forcing the settings (but that doesn’t mean they don’t exist). Any clues on how to beat this recalcitrant beast into submission gratefully received.

I've also received no system mail but that's of no consequence to me but once upon a time I used to be irritated by system mail on the command line and had thunderbird set up to receive it. Since 42.1 I've never had any system mail, I can't even remember how to delete the messages. I've never touched /etc/aliases but something does because at the end it states "You have mail in /var/spool/mail/davepl" Apart from this reference there isn't any other reference to davepl and it seems that root is set up to receive from all system users.
