[opensuse] missing fonts on upgrade to TW
by George from the tribe 12 Nov '18

12 Nov '18

So on my laptop that I had Leap 15 installed on, I decided to try upgrading to tumbleweed by means of zypper dup. It worked well on my other laptop, so I tried it on this one. After I replaced all the repositories with TW repositories, I ran the zypper dup and it downloaded everything just fine. Then in the middle of the installation, it lost internet connection, and then could not run the script from fetchmsttfonts to download microsoft fonts available on sourceforge. The following command failed: fetchmsttfonts-11.4-22.3-fetchmsttfonts.sh.txt I had to hit "ignore" to keep the installation going. I am now in the new system with fixed internet, but I don't know how to actually run the script from this package. This shows the package that is installed, but how do I figure out what to do next? I can't find anywhere that tells me how to run the script manually when it is not being run by zypper. # rpm -qa | grep fetchmsttfonts fetchmsttfonts-11.4-22.3.noarch Any help would be greatly appreciated. -- George Box: 42.3 | KDE Plasma 5.8 | AMD Phenom IIX4 | 64 | 32GB Laptop #1: TW | Plasma 5.13 | AMD FX 7TH GEN | 64 | 32GB Laptop #2: 15.0 | KDE Plasma 5.8 | Core i5 | 64 | 8GB -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

Hi, I just noticed that Thunderbird now writes the hour in the dates (index view) as "HH. MM", instead of "HH:MM" My locale is: cer@Legolas:~> locale LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TIME=en_DK.UTF-8 LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY=es_ES@euro LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE=es_ES@euro LC_MEASUREMENT=es_ES@euro LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ALL= cer@Legolas:~> And I'm on 15.0 -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.

[opensuse] apcupsd Configuration
by Paul Groves 10 Nov '18

10 Nov '18

Hi everyone I have 3 servers. Let's call them A B and C Server A has an APC BR1500GI connected via the APC RJ50 to USB cable. I wish to set up apcupsd so that when the power goes off, Server A tells server B and C to shut down. Once they have shut down then server A should shut down. So effectively Server A is the 'master' and B/C are 'slaves' I understand this is possible but I have never had to do this before. Has anyone got a similar setup? I also understand that it is possible to have the UPS shut down automatically after the apcupsd 'master' shuts off and then the UPS will turn back on automatically when the mains power is restored. If so this would be ideal because then I can just set the BIOS on the servers to turn on after power is connected and have everything come back on automatically too. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] texstudio freezes KDE3 desktop
by Istvan Gabor 10 Nov '18

10 Nov '18

Hello: I installed texstudio in openSUSE Leap 42.3 with KDE 3.5 desktop. I downloaded the rpm packages from http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/jsundermeyer/openSUSE_Leap_… and http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/jsundermeyer/openSUSE_Leap_… Both versions (qt4 and qt5) freezes KDE 3.5 desktop. There is no any error or other message in the terminal window when I run the program in konsole. I still can switch to other terminal windows by ctrl+alt+F(1-6). How could I fix this or at least find out what the problem is? Thanks, Istvan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] ghostscript + gv / epstopdf problems after recent update
by Boris Gaensicke 10 Nov '18

10 Nov '18

Hi, I'm on LEAP 15.0, and a recent update of ghostscript (gs) to version 9.25 broke some functionality in the interplay between gv / epstopdf and ghostscript. The attached simple eps file displays find in gs, but loading it in gv, or trying to convert it to pdf reports the error listed below. Maybe it's some incompatibility between the new version of gs, and gv / epstopdf which call gs, but I'm not sure how to test this on my system. Any suggestions will be much appreciated.

Hi all, My problem is in the subject. I even cannot find anymore where ccould I set it. I have two ASUS laptops, from the K501U series, but they are non identical. Keyboard backlight is lost on both of them. The last 4.17.x kernel had/has keyboard light. I waited for updates but with the coming of 4.18.6 kernel the lights are still lost. Albert

[opensuse] Qt Creator
by Dave Howorth 09 Nov '18

09 Nov '18

Does anybody use Qt Creator? I've just installed it on Leap 15.0 (V4.6.1 from the standard repositories) but I'm having trouble getting it to work. I've got the main window coming up and went to the first tutorial 'Help: Build and Run Examples' (Grr! another annoying program that won't allow me to select text!). Clicking on that brings up a web page <https://doc.qt.io/qtcreator/creator-build-example-application.html> and that says I should go to an example, but there appear to be no examples installed. In that case, it says to check what Qt versions are installed and clicking on that link takes me to <https://doc.qt.io/qtcreator/creator-project-qmake.html> and that says to 'Select Tools > Options > Kits > Qt Versions > Add' but the Tools menu has an Options... button and when I select that I get (a modal WTF!) window with lots of possibilities but none of them is Kits. Oh, and those weblinks are to Qt Creator Manual 4.7.2 so there's a possibility that the documentation is wrong because it's a different version. So what am I missing? Has openSUSE packaged it wrong so I'm missing some package or other, or is there a bug in Qt Creator, or do I have finger trouble?

[opensuse] display managers, startx
by Michael Fischer 05 Nov '18

05 Nov '18

I may have missed the story, and google didn't help (perhaps I used the wrong incantation) Questions: 1) Is the *only* reason for deprecating `startx(1)` the setuid bit requirement? If not, what are the other reasons? 2) I have various xset, xrdb and other commands in my ~/.xinitrc prior to the exec of the windowmanager. In the display manager scenario, are these still run? If not, what is the recommended way to have them executed? I wonder if this is the right idea? https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/47359/what-is-xsession-for and moving the commands from ~/.xinitrc to ~/.xsession? I suppose the exact spot is DM-dependent? FWIW, I use fvwm2, specified in ~/.xinitrc: ``` export WINDOMANAGER=/usr/bin/fvwm ... various xset, xrdb, etc.. commands ... exec $WINDOWMANAGER ${1+"$@"} ``` 3) If I want to swap LightDM for SDDM, what is the recommended procedure?
