[opensuse] Installation display resolution - Leap 15
by Gustav Degreef 23 Nov '18

23 Nov '18

Hello folks, I need to increase the text size of the install screens on a fresh Leap 15 install. Laptop is a new HP Spectre 360 which I bought for my partner. The installation screens have extremely small text because of the very high monitor resolution. I've searched Google high and low (OS forums, documentation, etc.,etc) and can't find the answer. Various opensuse documentation say to hit F3 or other Function keys at the Grub2 boot screen before the installation starts, but that produces absolutely no effect. I ran a Leap 15 KDE live USB and pretty much everything works nicely and I can adjust the screen text size on the desktop. Since I have serious vision problems, having very small text size on the installation screens is a very big problem for me. Any help is appreciated, Gustav.. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

I don't understand the rationale. In my opinion this is an example of abusing secure protocol, not to mention that older browsers and wget cannot access the site.

Hello, freshly istalled Leap 15.0 to a new pc. BIOS detects and physically there are 16 DIMM slots used, each with 8GiB memory. dmidecode also shows these values (see below). but there are max 59GiB allocated: # free -h total used free shared buff/cache available Mem: 59G 323M 57G 17M 2.0G 58G Swap: 128G 0B 128G any tips how to troubleshoot this further?

[opensuse] Shared experience with a Sat-TV card and Tumbleweed (Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-5525 HD 6 in one Hybrid TV Card) - (nearly) flawless
by stakanov 21 Nov '18

21 Nov '18

This is only of interest if you are in Europe I suppose. If you are meditating to buy a new card or your first one, you may wonder what is compatible with opensuse: So, the card is a PCI-e 1x card. I do obviously not use the "bill gates memorial software" that ships with it. It offers standards: DVB-S (satellite) DVB-S2 HD, DVB-C, DVB-C, DVB-T and analog TV (pal/secam) and EPG. Comes with a IR remote control. Deceivingly it is not able to walk over waters or to do other wonders. (SCNR) Seriously: tested with opensuse TW and Kaffeine 2.0 using DVB-S and DVB-S2 and a centralized satellite dish. The card is branched to a floppy disc current plug of the powersupply to reinforce the signal (that was previously not necessary for users of PCI but PCI-e 1x cards may need it). Drawbacks: With TW it does not (!) run out of the box. The reason is that, although tumbleweed does deliver an astonishing amount of firmware in /lib/ firmware, the card necessitates of two firmware fw files (one for DVB-S one for DVB-C/T function) of the OpenELEC firmware tree. It has to be downloaded and copied just into /lib/firmware. The link can be found in LinuxTVorg. Second problem: Once done and rebooted the system, the card resulted perfect in all functions with the exception(!) of the remote control. I tried to install kremotecontrol and LIRC in TW, but although the file was recently updated, it seems that the program is out of support for KDE and at least for this card remote control, it does neither work in TW, nor does the kremotecontrol does show up in the tray or in settings. Otherwise the card offers flawless registering, watching TV and HD TV and listening to HD radio. So it may be a good choice for Tumbleweed user, especially if they have a migratory life style and change often vector. _________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________ Ihre E-Mail-Postf�cher sicher & zentral an einem Ort.

[opensuse] Is there any thought to offer TOTP (yubi-key or nitrokey) for bugzilla and other sites of opensuse?
by stakanov 21 Nov '18

21 Nov '18

I am using this for my email and discovered that it is not only very save but also very comfortable if you do not want to put your passwords in some cloud. Either one uses very long or complicated passwords and do not change passwords (or you cannot even remember them). And you should use a different one for every site. With the token I have to remember a PIN of 4 numbers, it gives me a token and that is all about it. You just have to physically protect the token. The kernel developer use this (AFAIK), it is optional in the site I use it, so people do not mandatory have to take the expenditure. Would this be an idea for opensuse? Just to know your thoughts about it. _________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________ Ihre E-Mail-Postf�cher sicher & zentral an einem Ort.

You may think so, and I do, but many people do not agree. In fact, I always install with a separate "/home" partition in order to be able to do just that: format "/" during fresh install if/when needed leaving "/home" with all my valuable data intact. I almost always upgrade instead, but if the upgrade crashes beyond repair, it is nice to have the alternative. > Like always, anyone ignoring this advice will at least be notified in > the partitioning screen of the installer what is happening to their > existing partitions before anything happens.

[opensuse] Can't mount NFS

OpenSUSE Tumbleweed 20181116 My NFS recently stopped working and I don't know why. I haven't changed anything.

I inherited two of these and am wondering if anyone here has installed the aarch jeos onto one of them. Have searched but seems to be mainly an embedded version of LibreElec .

[opensuse] converting pdf file to an image containing pdf file
by Istvan Gabor 19 Nov '18

19 Nov '18

Hello: I have a normal pdf file (with text and embedded fonts) that I would like to convert to a pdf file which has all the pages as embedded images. In other words I want to imitate the process of printing the pdf out to paper sheets and then scanning the printed pages to a pdf file. I guess this should be doable using the command line, but which program? ghostscipt or imagemagick etc, and how to do it exactly?
