[opensuse] zypper addrepo - http:// vs. https://
by Per Jessen 10 Apr '18

10 Apr '18

I'm sure someone has a quick explanation: a) zypper addrepo 'https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Virtualization:containers/openSU…' This fails: Download (curl) error for 'https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Virtualization:containers/openSU…': Error code: Bad URL Error message: Protocol http not supported or disabled in libcurl b) zypper addrepo 'https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Virtualization:/containers/openS…' Works fine. (notice the extra slash between 'Virtualization:' and 'container'. c) zypper addrepo 'http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Virtualization:containers/openSUS…' d) zypper addrepo 'http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Virtualization:/containers/openSU…' Both work fine. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (9.1°C) http://www.cloudsuisse.com/ - your owncloud, hosted in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] prime-select: unable to query GPU information
by Daniel Bauer 05 Apr '18

05 Apr '18

Hi, I just upgraded my asus laptop with intel/nvidia graphics from 42.1 to 42.3, all went well so far. But when entering prime-select nvidia I get: ERROR unable to query GPU information The script runs anyway, I guess, because when I reboot at some point the screen with the boot messages begins to flicker heavily (I could not read the last message...). I had to restart and boot to runlevel 3, then entered "prime-sectect intel" and now I can boot normally - but of course only using the intel card. I don't know which information you need to help me: please ask and I'll try to provide it. Thanks for your help!

[opensuse] Which distros for ReiserFS?
by Stevens 03 Apr '18

03 Apr '18

On the odd chance that I was ignored for possibly hijacking a thread, I shall start a new one but copy and paste my comments in hope of an answer: (re: Killing ReiserFS) I have been following this thread with some interest because of having been running ReiserFS since before he turned homicidal. I have had zero, count that ZERO, problems in all that time so I read with some dismay the effort to actively kill its usage in this whatever-you-call-it distro. I think that the more relevant question to ask is not "can we keep this file system around, pretty please" but "what distros are allowing its use by not actively trying to kill it"? I have used opensuse since before Mandrake went away, which has been a while and, although I don't really want to change distros, I am not married to suse (or leap, or whatever). I feel that what we have here with opensuse/leap is an example of the classic "swing" cartoon which shows the stages of project development from sales, engineering, installation and what the customer actually wanted. My need is not as complex as some and for that ReiserFS works quite well. So, my question remains, "If not suse/leap, then who"? Hopefully someone will know what distros allow the freedom to use whichever FS one wishes without running afoul of the FS nazis. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Display artifacts in Leap 42.3, on oldish laptop with Intel Video
by Carlos E. R. 04 Mar '18

04 Mar '18

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hi, I just upgraded my laptop to Leap 42.3 from 42.2 (offline upgrade aka dvd method), and I see artifacts on the display: areas that do not redraw, typically the menu area of a window. Some time whole windows that take seconds to redraw after switching the workarea. Gkrelmm has zones that are unreadable for long time, even if I put another window on top to try force a redraw (the CPU_0 panel, for instance, is gargabe). This instant, the whole Thunderbird went unreadable as I switched worskpace (I'm typing at Alpine).

[opensuse] TW on Kaby Lake system
by Wolfgang Rosenauer 07 Feb '18

07 Feb '18

Hi, I've got this new machine based on Kaby Lake chipset: Intel Corporation HD Graphics 620 (rev 02) but after an installation of Tumbleweed I feel the graphic performace is quite poor. (Just guessing it's graphics though because the CPU should be quite capable and the system is not loaded much.) I notice quite unsteady animations or under Gnome shell and also smooth scrolling in Firefox is not always quite smooth. My 4-5 year old predecessor (Intel graphics based as well) machine was feeling snappier with Leap. So I'm wondering if anyone has a pointer to tuning proposals for that sort of machine under Tumbleweed?

[opensuse] upgraded 42.2 to 42.3, now have black screen.
by Per Jessen 04 Feb '18

04 Feb '18

With 42.2 having gone EOL last week, I figured my office test system ought to be upgraded to 42.3 too - not much chance of anything being fixed on 42.2 anymore. So I ran a 'zypper dup' which seemed to go fine - except a) nfs mounts don't work. I can't mount them manually either. b) instead of a GUI login screen, I get a black screen with a mouse pointer. I can probably figure (a) out in time, but I'm a little stuck with (b). I'm using the Nvidia drivers, they worked fine on 42.2. Suggestions on how to proceed with (b) much welcome. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (8.9°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free dynamic DNS, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Leap 42.3 old TeXlive, old Circuitikz 0.6
by SFseis . 31 Jan '18

31 Jan '18

Hello, my first question to the mailing list: I just installed Leap 42.3 and noticed that my Latex files won't compile anymore because of an outdated Circuitkz 0.6 (2016-6-6), current is 0.8.3 (2017-5-28) and I need at least 0.8.2 (2017-5-1). What can I do? Can I just install Texlive from TW repository? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] zypp repo types
by Felix Miata 31 Jan '18

31 Jan '18

Author of http://trinity-users.pearsoncomputing.net/?0::12155 claims following instructions on https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/OpenSUSE_Trinity_Repository_Installation_In… fail. I responded at http://trinity-users.pearsoncomputing.net/?0::12160 I noticed that in my own TDE repos, one is type rpm-md, the other type yum. What exactly are the differences among the possible zypp types? "No manual entry for repos.d". Looking at https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Zypper_manual_%28plain%29 the type yum on the instruction page seems maybe not to be a valid type??? -- "Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom.
