[opensuse] zypper dup leap 42.3 to 15.0, does it work?
by cagsm 23 May '18

23 May '18

Is this still a tested and proven scenario? Also what I read contradicting procedures about zypper dup from one distribution version to the next was, if one were to zypper update zypper itself first and only issue zypper dup as the last step or run the zypper from the still current distribution version. Back several opensuse versions ago, there were also conflicting compression algorithms and stuff used in rpm if i recall correctly where you even had to update rpm to the next distribution version first as well and so on. Any experiences yet? Also can we already zypper dup as the online repos except for the isos are already available and populated?

[opensuse] where did /etc/sysconfig/syslog come from?
by L A Walsh 23 May '18

23 May '18

Tried to see what package owned it -- as it was changed a few months back to use rsyslog instead of my configured ng-syslog, which I sorta thought was odd -- thought they usually put configfiles aside and labeled them with a special suffix, but didn't see any of those around. Just a bit on the strange side... Thanks -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] how does a plain user get access to a core dump?
by Per Jessen 22 May '18

22 May '18

It's been a while since I have reason to, but I need a plain (non-root) user to access his own core dumps, and I've forgotten how that is done? Is there perhaps a way of reverting to having core dumps written to the working dir? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (15.9°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free dynamic DNS, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Virtualbox load
by James Knott 22 May '18

22 May '18

I've noticed that lately a Windows 10 virtual machine has become a real hog. Top shows virtualbox taking well over 100% sometimes over 200% of CPU. Memory usage appears OK, but starting up W10 causes a real performance hit on Linux and even within W10. Has anyone else noticed this? I believe there was a recent update to Virtualbox on openSUSE and there was an update to W10 a couple of weeks ago, so I'm not sure where the problem may be. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Wrong desktop for main window and pop-up windows (plasma)
by Bengt Gördén 22 May '18

22 May '18

Hi, I've got a problem that I can't seem to get rid of. I'm not sure if it's Opensuse (TW, several incarnation), plasma or Thunderbird. But here goes. I start Thunderbird like this from the KDE menu and I'm at desktop 2. Thunderbird is placed on desktop 1. kstart5 --desktop 1 thunderbird %u When I go from one mailbox/folder in Thunderbird to another and I get a question like "do you want to jump to <mailbox>?" in a pop-up window, Thunderbird goes back to the desktop I started it from (desktop 2). I tried the old kstart but it was the same problem. When I move it manually with right click on taskbar everything stays at correct desktop. Anyone seen this and knows of a remedy? I'll file a bug report if it's nothing obvious I missed. I start two other programs like this google-chrome and quasselclient but they doesn't seem to behave like this so I suspect that it's only Thunderbird and how it starts it's pop-up-windows.

[opensuse] Boot message and cpu speed
by don fisher 22 May '18

22 May '18

I am running leap 14.3. I have tried to join the kernel list, but while I did receive a welcome message, nothing else followed. So I am posing the question here. On boot, with printout enabled, I receive numerous messages about temperature above threshold. But this occurs from an off state where the system is cold! From my dmesg log I have the following. The first elements are what I receive on my boot message, but right after it says all are normal. These are consecutive lines, so I do not understand that something happened between the first set of messages and the second. Any comments?

[opensuse] where are plasma5 shortcuts
by jdd＠dodin.org 20 May '18

20 May '18

Hello :-) on my kde plasma 5 (42.3), I can drag an executable of any application from Dolphin and get an icon that I can click to open the app. look at this screen copy: https://www.cjoint.com/doc/18_05/HEupzy0EQwh_Screenshot-20180520-172415.png but afterward, I can't figure where is the linked application. a right click only allow to add a keyboard shortcut. As you can see, the plasma desktop is *not* the usual desktop. The usual one, ~/Desktop, is the clear rectangle with "download" in it, what I look for are the icons under (vuescan, jddlibreoffice...) where are stored these "icons"? how can I guess where is the linked app? 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] wifi problems
by Daniel Bauer 19 May '18

19 May '18

I am here trying to use the wifi of my landlord. It is extremely slow, so slow that I cannot download emails with thunderbird due to time-out. The landlord says that ohers using the same wifi don't have problems. If use use that wifi on my phone, internet is fast and everything works, so I guess it is a problem on my computer. On the other hand, when I use my mobile phone as a 4G-hotspot and connect the laptop to this, internet works. Not very good, but it works. So it is not that my laptop in general doesn't like the internet, the problem is specific to the wifi of the house here. So my computer has something against the landlords wifi. What can it be? How can I find out? Things I noted (don't know if normal): - when connceted to that wifi, all mozilla programs need very long to open (thunderbird: 60 seconds, fireox 45 seconds). I am talking about the time from the click on the icon until the program window appears. When I connect over my mobile phone, those programs open normal. Do they really care about the connection? I think they should open without problems even if there is no connection at all, for local use...??? - sometimes the connection over the phone (using it as a mobile hotspot) also breaks down to very slow. Do I have a general internet problem that shows especially n the wifi here? I have no idea where to start to search for the error. Please help.
