[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 out of date?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.

[opensuse] NVidia driver and Plymouth splash screen
by Bjarne Örn Hansen 25 Sep '17

25 Sep '17

Hi All, I've bumped into the fact, that Plymouth doesn't work with NVidia's driver. And before anyone asks me why I don't use nouvou ... then, it's too slow and occasionally I like to play a game or two. Isn't there a tweak to use, to get Plymouth working? // Bjarne -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] C++ Question
by Paul Groves 24 Sep '17

24 Sep '17

Hi All, Probably not the right place to ask but one of you may know the answer. I am learning C++ and my program uses system('program --arg1 --arg2'); to run a proprietary program. My question is how can I make this program a dependency so that it has to be installed before my program? I have noticed that ldd shows that some dependencies have already been added as dependencies to the binary once it is compiled.

Hi, Do you know what is this bay in my laptop? http://susepaste.org/24703726 I see the word "MDC", perhaps it is this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_daughter_card but there are no photos there to compare. (The photo is a bit out of focus, I should have used a tripod) -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)

[opensuse] 42.3 install; python / pip gripe
by Michael Fischer 23 Sep '17

23 Sep '17

Well, just did the install, and overall, it went rather well. I was doing a fresh install, retaining /home over top of 42.1. One gripe, on which my notes from the 42.1 install saved me another hour of headache: If you're going to set python to version 2.7.13 (fine by me), you should follow the principle of least surprise and install python-pip (along with the obvious easy_install dependency) and set etc-alternatives to use that pip (version 7.1.2). Other than that, so far so good guys, and thanks.

Do you found these two files in your HOME directory or in system directories? I found the two files application-x-wine-extension-vbs.xml and x-wine-extension-vbs.xml in my HOME directory. Personally I edited the file type x-wine-extension-vbs within the KDE settings tool systemsettings5 and deleted the *.vbs extension and the list of opening programs. As an alternative you can remove the two files in your HOME directory. If the files are stored in system's directories, removing them may not help, because updates with restore them. In this case you probably have to copy it to a specified location in your HOME directory and edit them. But the location is highly dependent on your system and I don't know the correct location. The error message "This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below." comes from a browser or something similar. Please edit the files in a text edit. As the name *wine* says, Wine has probably created the files together with the MS Office installer.
