[opensuse] Leap 15 live
by jdd＠dodin.org 14 May '18

14 May '18

May be you know this already, but Leap 15 is also available as a wonderful live: https://download.opensuse.org/distribution/leap/15.0/live/ wonderful, because it's taking all the available room on a usb device. Yes, it takes all the room of, say, a 16Gb usb pen (preferably usb3), so all what you do is written, you can even make an update. great!! it's a small iso, under 1Gb, and after that it's "overlayed", I guess some sort of snapshot, and all the rest is written on ext4 partition seems to even be installable, that is there is an "install" icon on the desktop (not tested yet) seems to be a very good solution to my portable install... thanks all! 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] Netflix on OpenSuse 42.3
by don fisher 14 May '18

14 May '18

I am running Thunderbird 52.7, X86_64, under leap 42.3. I am trying to get Netflix running under opensuse. I searched the "Unofficial guide to openSuse Leap 42.3" and found no mention of Netflix. With a Google search I found many proposed solutions, but many earlier solutions via Windows were obsoleted by time. I can not find a Netflix app under Mozilla extensions, though there are a few other apps that enhance Netflix, with the assumption that it is running. I found one page that stated that, after a long period of time, "Linux Users Can Easily Watch Netflix On Firefox". Basically the addition of HTML5 allowed the breakthrough. Can anybody shed light on the steps required to bring up Netflix on Leap 42.3?

[opensuse] Opensuse Leap and GIMP 2.10
by Per Inge Oestmoen 13 May '18

13 May '18

Hello! I now run Leap 42.3. And I tried to install GIMP 2.10 on it, but quickly entered dependency hell. I suppose there is no way to install GIMP 2.10 in a fast way on 42.3, or is it? If not: Will the upcoming Leap 15 contain GIMP 2.10x? -- Noise reduction is just another word for image destruction.

[opensuse] Can't paste images into email
by James Knott 13 May '18

13 May '18

One thing I do frequently is paste images I might find on a web site into an email. However, recently this no longer works. When I paste, instead of the image, I get a little square, containing what looks like the outline of a computer & keyboard. This happens with both Seamonkey and Firefox/Thunderbird. I can paste an image into Thunderbird on Windows. Has there been a change recently that causes this problem? I'm running OpenSUSE 42.3. tnx jk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] sleeping & hibernating difficulties
by David T-G 12 May '18

12 May '18

Hi, all -- I have a Dell e6540 running Leap 42.3 which does not reliably hibernate or sleep from the Plazma start menu nor sleep from the power button. It will sometimes just NOT go there, but mostly it acts like it's trying to go dark but then comes back. Any thoughts or tips?

[opensuse] other backup strategy with rsync
by jdd＠dodin.org 11 May '18

11 May '18

Hello, I need some hints around the rsync use. I'm very concerned by backup/archives. I already have viable archive system for important data (redundant) and clonezilla o my main disk. But all this needs manual work, and takes some time (max one hour), where the computer is either offline or not really usable. So it's done randomly at too long intervals in my feeling. I also have a very cheap unused online server with 2Tb data, to be related with the 500Gb size of my main disk. So I want to use this server as backup. For example an hourly backup, somewhat incremental, where I could find a copy of whatever file I may have deleted since the last real backup/archive. what may be the rsync syntax to a cron job to backup root and /home like this? rsync or any other simple tool. date can be limited to, say, three month in the past, and all what is older removed if no more present 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] 15.0 won't mount EFI System sdb1 partition
by Felix Miata 11 May '18

11 May '18

This M.2 device I just bought turned out to be used instead of new as expected. So, I wanted to see what's on it. Booted normally to a /dev/sda filesystem, trying to mount -t vfat or -t auto just gives a generic error "wrong fstype, bad option, bad superblock, blah blah". -t auto worked just fine for NTFS sdb3. What's the secret to examining an EFI System partition when the one used for booting is already on /boot/efi/? Man mount doesn't seem to make any mention of an EFI System partition. -- "Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom. Whatever else you get, get wisdom."

42.3, recently installed FF 45.x plays online videos from www.doctoroz.com, but 52 plays no audio, complaining I "may" need to install pulseaudio. gstreamer1, libdvdcss2, libpulse0 and pulseaudio are installed.
