[opensuse] Printing emails from Kontact/Kmail
by Lívio Cipriano 23 Apr '18

23 Apr '18

Hi, I'm using openSuse 42.3 with the kmail version supplied and starting today when I want to print a email message the box with the message that kmail is going to open an external browser appears, I click yes for chrome browser and it doesn't render the message to print, just shows the plain html text. But ... if I open the file produced by kmail to the browser (with the format kontact.raSPiE) with firefox, it renders to print. But ... if I alter the name of the file to kontact.raSPiE.html, Chrome renders it to print. I've tried to change the default browser to firefox, but kmail always call Chrome. Any ideas or similar experiences. Regards Lívio Cipriano -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Wicked 30s Timeout on boot of 42.3 - how to fix?
by David C. Rankin 22 Apr '18

22 Apr '18

All, As I sort out the 42.3 install, I'm down my checklist to "Why does wicked create a 30s delay in the boot process?" Basically, after systemd-analyze plot > opensuse_42.3_boot_delay.svg there is no question who/what the culprit is: Apr 18 17:15:24 wizard systemd[1]: Starting wicked managed network interfaces... Apr 18 17:15:54 wizard wicked[1159]: lo up Apr 18 17:15:54 wizard wicked[1159]: wlan0 up Apr 18 17:15:54 wizard wicked[1159]: eth0 setup-in-progress Apr 18 17:15:54 wizard systemd[1]: Started wicked managed network interfaces. >From 17:15:24 - to - 17:15:54, wicked is just sitting there spinning its wheels. Anybody else see something similar? Anybody know how to fix it? -- David C.

[opensuse] booting into openSUSE (degraded btrfs raid-root)
by Paul Neuwirth 21 Apr '18

21 Apr '18

Hello, web search without X11 is difficult.. Anyone knows how I can boot into openSUSE (Leap 42.3) on a btrfs root filesystem, which got degraded. I wanted to exchange a defective harddisk. I tried booting with rootflags=degraded, and also specifying root partition as "root=/dev/sdb2". despite that, boot doesn't even complete to rescue mode, but is waitin without limit with "A start job is running for dev-whatever.device" what do I miss? thank you Paul -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Grey Streets: a Good Idea?
by Lew Wolfgang 21 Apr '18

21 Apr '18

Hi Folks, Just to stir things up, I'll forward a quote from Los Angeles mayor Eric Garcetti: "Climate change is a fact of life that people in Los Angeles and cities around the world live with every day. It is a grave threat to our health, our environment, and our economy — and it is not debatable or negotiable," I wonder what exactly this "fact of life" is? Not debatable? Sounds like an article of faith, doesn't it? So to fight the evil of climate change, Los Angeles has embarked on a program to paint all their city streets grey. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2018/04/10/los-angeles-painting-city-streets-whit… I'm sure that grey streets will lower their surface temperature a bit, won't it just bounce the sun's heat up into the air again? Only to be trapped and redirected down again by the CO2? Oh, don't worry, it's not too expensive. LA has about 6,500-miles of non-freeway streets, and at $40,000/mile for the coating, will only cost $260,000,000-US. It's a real deal and only needs to be reapplied every seven years. That would mean that you'd have to apply 77.3-miles of coating per month, or assuming a standard work-year, about .5-miles per hour, to keep the coating fresh and functional on all 6,500-miles of streets. Note that the cost doesn't include installation labor, I wonder how many men would be fully employed and at what cost to keep this going? All that being said, it looks like a cool product. The photos on the company's website look nice, I wonder how long it really lasts before flaking off and running down the storm drains, then to pollute the oceans?

Re: [opensuse] Leap 15 as Vmware Host

I'd like to know what that "different repository" is. I have licenses for Workstation, and version 12.5, but moving to V14.x is going to cost me $100, and with Leap's old kernel I can't be sure this will actually run. I've had to patch VM modules for a while now, the last kernel you could assure they worked with was 4.4 (LTS), and even getting it to run under Leap 42 was a pain in the ass every time opensuse or vmware pushed any upgrade. -- After all is said and done, more is said than done. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] HP Laser Jet Pro M477fdw works great so far
by don fisher 20 Apr '18

20 Apr '18

This is an amendment to the thread I started on the Canon Color imageCLASS MF733Cdw printer. AS I mentioned previously, I gave up on the Canon finding no viable Opensuse support. The HP Laser Jet Pro M477fdw installed without any problems. I have only tested printing and scanning so far, but both appear to work better than I had expected. The image I have attached is from a scan of an Channel advertisement by Keira Knightley, a favorite. Sorry for the size of the attachment. Image taken with Xsane defaults at a resolution of only 200 dpi. Thanks again for previous help. Don

[opensuse] email client - very specific requirement
by Istvan Gabor 19 Apr '18

19 Apr '18

Hello: Is there any GUI email client which doesn't allow drag and drop between mailboxes/folders? Background: I have a user who needs to access different IMAP mailboxes at different providers. He's been using seamonkey mail client for >10 years. He is good in reading and writing messages but a little bit clumsy and occasionally drags/drops messages or complete folders from one folder to another one or from one mailbox to another one without even noticing it and messing up things. In my opinion this could only be prevented if draggin/dropping was disabled in the client. Is it possible to disable drag and drop in semaonkey mail? (Even if it requires rebulding). Or is there any GUI email client which doesn't offer drag and drop in its user interface?

[opensuse] multiple drm-kmp packages installed - leftovers - trash - remove?
by cagsm 19 Apr '18

19 Apr '18

Hi, leap 42.3 with kernel updates constantly coming in. I kind of remove older kernel-default-xxxx packages when the new kernel proved as a success. there was even some cleanup script or something that removes or purges old kernel packages when there are too many. now I wonder what those drm-kmp-default-xxxxx packages are exactly about, why there are so many and why they not getting cleaned up just the same? do I need them all? do I need them at all? why are they not being cleaned up as well? can I remove all but the highest build latest number? drm-kmp-default-4.9.33_k4.4.79_4-5.2.x86_64 drm-kmp-default-4.9.33_k4.4.120_45-10.2.x86_64 drm-kmp-default-4.9.33_k4.4.126_48-13.3.x86_64 drm-kmp-default-4.9.33_k4.4.76_1-3.2.x86_64 thank you. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] socks5 and ssh in firefox
by gumb 19 Apr '18

19 Apr '18

Though I've been using ssh in a basic way I've never until now looked into how to run something like Firefox on a remote machine residing in another country so as to get around country-specific annoyances. So I found this page: https://calomel.org/firefox_ssh_proxy.html and followed the instructions, went into the Firefox network settings on my local machine and chose SOCKS Host, put in 127.0.0.1 and port 8080, and checked the box for Proxy DNS when using SOCKS v5, but I see that by default, in the box 'No Proxy for' it already has localhost, 127.0.0.1 Wouldn't keeping that there defeat the object? Do I need to remove that? I tried removing it, then opened a terminal and did as suggested: ssh -C2qTnN -D 8080 {remote_machine} I see that by going to http://whatsmyip.org/ the remote IP address is shown and from testing a couple of sites, all seems to work as I need it to, but since I'll be wanting to do this occasionally and switch back and forth in the Firefox network settings, I don't understand if I should always remove that line in 'No Proxy for'? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
