[opensuse] Sugared foods forbidden in Andalussian schools
by Carlos E. R. 29 Jan '18

29 Jan '18

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 The regional governement of Andalussia (Spain) has forbidden sugared drinks and food (like coca-cola and donuts) from being sold at any school cafeteria in their territory, under fines reaching 250000€ (or closing the place temporarily). At last! :-) And they must offer free water. The list of regulations I read in the article is complex and I don't understand all the implications and how they are going to do it, but I suppose there will be oposition. To put in context, the party governing there is socialist (not communist, more like liberals) and has been in power maybe since the first regional elections, if memory servers right, so maybe not :-) <http://www.publico.es/sociedad/andalucia-prohibe-vender-coca-cola-bollycao-…> - -- Cheers Carlos E.

[opensuse] Multiple displays during OS install
by Roger Oberholtzer 29 Jan '18

29 Jan '18

We are testing a new computer and have discovered something irritating. It claims there is a second (or more) display even though there is only one connected. So the OS install windows are shown off screen. Well, off the one that really has a display connected. We do not see in the BIOS how to make the system do the right thing (e.g., only enable one display connector). And we are a bit surprised that the displays are thought to be active when there is no connected display. It seems that the install GUI is the one that gets fooled. We are still testing to verify that. Is there a kernel command line option that limits graphics to the main display? Our thought is that we could use that during the OS install. -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] YaST remote ussage

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I often use YaST via ssh -X from another computer. YaST would tittle the windows appropriately so that it would be know that it was not a local session, and say which machine it was. No longer. in leap 42.3 YaST on remote doesn't label itself. Bug?

[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] /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.
