[opensuse] video download helper
by Dave Howorth 28 Jan '18

28 Jan '18

I'm trying to use video download helper without much success. There is an icon in the toolbar and when I go to the test page https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDm8zTlP-mw as suggested by https://www.downloadhelper.net/howto#how-to-verify-video-downloadhelper-is-… and click on the icon, a list of videos pops up. If I choose one and select download, VDH opens a window with a title and X inside the window but no other content. There's nothing related to VDH in the browser console that I can see though I'm not sure what I'm looking at or for. There seem to be no videos downloaded anywhere. The VDH support method appears to be a google group - I don't have a google account and don't intend to get one. I'm on leap 42.3, FF is the standard 52.5.3, VDH tells me it is 7.1.0 (and FF says no updates are available). I have apparently at some point installed net.downloadhelper.coapp-1.1.0-1_amd64.tar.gz (my PC has an Intel processor but there doesn't seem to be a corresponding tar) and I must have run setup-linux-user.sh because my .mozilla directory contains the appropriate json file. But VDH settings, in the 'Verifying Companion App…' section, has a grey 'Recheck' button and a blue 'Install Companion App' button, whatever that means. Any suggestions are welcome. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] duplicate messages on list
by Dave Plater 28 Jan '18

28 Jan '18

Hi, I think that I may have a clue about the duplicate messages. I just examined the thread in the web ui and discovered many drafts still open in the thread. Thunderbird saves drafts after x time and obviously these must get sent to the gmail server. I'm deliberately waiting until tbird saves a draft of this message. Did I have multiple duplicates in this thread: Re: [opensuse] another WD Green AV-GP HD failure [solved] by any chance?

[opensuse] cannot install tor browser

[opensuse] /sbin/purge-kernels fails on removing non-installed kernel since rpm -qa report is wrong
by Thomas Wagner 28 Jan '18

28 Jan '18

Hi @all! I have Leap 42.3 with the Kernel:stable repository enabled. /sbin/purge-kernels should remove old kernel version. However it fails to remove one particular kernel version (and subsequently does not remove anything). zypper -se -i -v reports that said kernel version is not installed. rpm -qa reports that said kernel version is installed. rpm -ql reports that said kernel version is not installed. Checking /boot/ and /lib/modules/ shows that said kernel is indeed not installed. Why can rpm -qa report a package which is not installed? Can /sbin/purge-kernels use other sources of installed packages than rpm -qa? best regards Thomas -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] kdebase3-k3b fubar for copying DVD
by Felix Miata 27 Jan '18

27 Jan '18

I sent this to KDE3 list 3 days ago but got no response. Trying to copy a DVDR-produced DVD using K3B on this 42.3/KDE3 system causes the CPU to peg and K3B to freeze. It also exhausts free RAM. I have to exit the KDE session to normalize the desktop. If I only want to burn an existing .iso to DVD, then K3B works as expected. A month or more ago, K3B always worked as expected, going back at least my entire history of using *SUSE. So I tried to use a different 42.3/KDE3 PC to see if it would work, and K3B complains about MAD not being installed. When I try to install kdemultimedia3-mad, zypper complains nothing provides mad. On this system, there is no current "mad" available, only as you can see here: i | libmad0 | package | 0.15.1b-4.1 | x86_64 | (System Packages) v | libmad0 | package | 0.15.1b-2.1 | x86_64 | Update I don't know why the current libmad0 is shown as an older version than that installed. About mad, I filed a bug: https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1076935 I gave up enabling mad on the other PC and tried with K3B to copy the DVD, which should have nothing to do with mad anyway. It too pegs the CPU and writes 0 bytes to the tmp file. On the first attempt, I did Ctrl-Alt-F3 first to run top. On return to KDE3, K3B had disappeared. On the second attempt, after several minutes of 0 progress K3B simply disappeared. Third try I logged in as root to run K3B with same failing result. On the 4th try with a different DVD made with a different recorder, the K3B crash aborted the KDE3 session as Xorg process was killed due to RAM exhaustion. Since I got no mailing list response, I filed a bug: https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1077190 Does KDE3 K3B DVD copying work for anyone here who has 42.3 fully updated? What are people using who simply want to copy DVDR discs they've made, can no longer use K3B, and don't want to use a terminal/cmdline, KDE5, or GTK apps? Man pages for cdrecord and wodim don't have examples for such simple desires. Any of various multimedia apps I have installed which may or may not have such capability don't make it obvious (tovid, dvdrip, VLC, others). -- "Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom.

[opensuse] difference between two disks
by jdd＠dodin.org 27 Jan '18

27 Jan '18

I have two disks that should be identical. But Dolphin say there is a 200Gb difference in file size, the "to2" (source) having 1.3 To free when the target have 1.5To free I just run as root: rsync -ai --delete-before /run/media/jdd/intenso5to2/ /run/media/jdd/intenso5to/ with no message (no file transfer) The following text is better read from bottom to top: http://susepaste.org/98227966 fdisk shows the two disk are the same. In fact bough at the same time, two 5Tb usb disks for archiving the du -h show the disk should be the same, and roughly are, but du -d says the contrary summary: 3242684936 intenso5to 3242680980 intenso5to2 any idea what happen, and what I can do to find where are the differences between the two disks? thanks jdd -- http://dodin.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Offline Upgrade (DVD boot method) to 42.3: problems with kernel and grub
by Carlos E. R. 27 Jan '18

27 Jan '18

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 In one computer (Isengard), on /etc/default/grub I got: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="resume=/dev/sda2 splash=verbose showopts resume=/dev/disk/by-label/Swap splash=silent quiet showopts" which I had to change back to the correct one: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=" showopts resume=/dev/disk/by-label/Swap splash=verbose" Why change that line at all, adding the same options (not replacing) with unpredictable results? On another computer (Minas-Tirith), I get a similar issue: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="resume=/dev/disk/by-label/Swap splash=verbose console=tty1 loglevel=3 showopts resume=/dev/disk/by-label/Swap splash=silent quiet showopts" It seems that what it thinks are the correct options are added to the end of the line.

[opensuse] okular printer list
by Peter Suetterlin 26 Jan '18

Hi, does someone know where okular is getting the printer list from? When I try to print something okular hangs for the next few minutes, obviously trying to contact some printers it found/knows. Starting from command line I can see begin enumerating printers printomat _ _ 1 HP_Color_LaserJet_MFP_M277dw_Peter_s_MacBook_Pro _ _ 2 HP_Color_LaserJet_4700_tine_thinkpad _ _ 3 HP_DeskJet_5820_series_Poonam_s_MacBook_Pro _ _ 4 end enumerating printers 1 (printomat) is the only one defined in cups (as local queue, smb printer) I disabled cups-browsed, Browsing in cupsd.conf is 'No', too An 'lpstat -a' only lists the printomat printer. Is okular/kde browsing by itself? Or is this some cache corpse from earlier? It's really annoying having to wait that long for printing something :(( -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
