[opensuse] Yast module to configure ACPI power-button to suspend?
by David C. Rankin 16 May '18

16 May '18

All, I'm looking for the openSuSE way to configure my laptop power-button to suspend instead of power-off. Is there a yast module or some similar app for tweaking ACPI config that avoids writing a custom event-handler from scratch? Is there a current event-handler that can be tweaked? I would like the power-button to activate suspend just like lid-close does. There are a number of lacpi_id listed during boot, e.g. $ dmesg | grep acpi [ 0.000000] ACPI: LAPIC_NMI (acpi_id[0x00] high edge lint[0x1]) [ 0.000000] ACPI: LAPIC_NMI (acpi_id[0x01] high edge lint[0x1]) [ 0.000000] ACPI: LAPIC_NMI (acpi_id[0x02] high edge lint[0x1]) [ 0.000000] ACPI: LAPIC_NMI (acpi_id[0x03] high edge lint[0x1]) [ 0.000000] ACPI: LAPIC_NMI (acpi_id[0x04] high edge lint[0x1]) [ 0.000000] ACPI: LAPIC_NMI (acpi_id[0x05] high edge lint[0x1]) [ 0.000000] ACPI: LAPIC_NMI (acpi_id[0x06] high edge lint[0x1]) [ 0.000000] ACPI: LAPIC_NMI (acpi_id[0x07] high edge lint[0x1]) [ 0.162541] acpiphp: ACPI Hot Plug PCI Controller Driver version: 0.5 [ 1.826877] acpi PNP0A08:00: _OSC: OS supports [ExtendedConfig ASPM ClockPM Segments MSI] [ 1.829522] acpi PNP0A08:00: _OSC: OS now controls [PCIeHotplug PME AER PCIeCapability] [ 1.829524] acpi PNP0A08:00: FADT indicates ASPM is unsupported, using BIOS configuration [ 1.889085] clocksource: acpi_pm: mask: 0xffffff max_cycles: 0xffffff, max_idle_ns: 2085701024 ns [ 3.300854] acpi LNXPWRBN:00: hash matches [ 5.746644] acpi device:01: registered as cooling_device0 However, the only button interface configured in /proc/acpi/button is 'lid'? $ ll /proc/acpi/button/ total 0 dr-xr-xr-x 3 root root 0 May 14 12:45 lid On Leap 42.3 the kernel module for the button is present /lib/modules/4.4.126-48-default/kernel/drivers/acpi/button.ko What is the best way to configure the power-button to suspend? -- David C.

[opensuse] User Nobody
by John Andersen 15 May '18

15 May '18

Is it customary and usual for User nobody to have /bin/bash as a shell? It seems that Opensuse is the only linux I have that allows this. Most have nologin or /bin/false. -- 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] jwplayer playback in Firefox 52ESR - missing codec?
by gumb 15 May '18

15 May '18

I don't generally have problems playing videos around the Internet but I've stumbled across one that causes issues on my Leap 42.3 machine. See for example this page (the large video at the top): https://retro.tcl.fr/les-travaux-du-metro-de-la-croix-rousse/ I only see a black background with a badly coded (only partially visible) and annoyingly blasé message at the top saying 'in order to view the video, update your browser.' I'm on the standard Firefox 52.8.0ESR release from the Leap update repo. If I try with the latest Opera I see the video keyframe but playback still fails. However, on another box running a different Linux distro and with Firefox 58.0.2 (Quantum) the video plays fine. The info on the video leads me to jwplayer.com, where all the demo videos play fine on my openSUSE machine, so since it seems to be HTML5-based I don't know what specific codec this troublesome video is using. Does anybody running FF52ESR on Leap have it working? gumb -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] copying photos from iPhone to Leap 42.3
by Dave Howorth 15 May '18

15 May '18

I'm trying to copy some photos from an iPhone to my openSUSE 42.3 box and am getting myself confused. Can anybody tell me the best way to do it, or point me to some simple but complete instructions? I've been following instructions from various web pages. I found something called ifuse and installed that. I plugged in the phone to a USB port and clicked Allow on the dialog the phone presented asking permission for the PC to access stuff. Leap asked me whether I wanted to open a file manager for the device, so I said yes and it opened PCManFM, and in the list of places at the left it showed an ejectable filesytem for the phone, but no photos and I couldn't figure how to access them. Following another hint, I started shotwell (not a program I normally use) and it came up and showed me all the photos on the phone, so at least I know that the USB connection is working. So I clicked on Import All but it failed to import any photos. The log is full of lines like: IMG_0003.JPG error message: [-107] Error retrieving file object for /store_feedface/DCIM/100APPLE/IMG_0003.JPG: Unknown error I can't even seem to find something that tells me where shotwell actually stores imported photos to double check. So I went back to PCManFM but now it isn't even showing the phone's filesystem! Help! Can anybody tell me the best way to copy the photos from the phone, or point me to some simple but complete instructions? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] It's all my fault
by Mark Misulich 14 May '18

14 May '18

Hi, I gooned it up. I downloaded the tarball for rkhunter-1.4.4 from SourceForge some time ago, extracted it, and moved it to it's own folder before installing it. A few days ago, I downloaded the tarball for rkhunter-1.4.6 from SourceForge, extracted it, and installed it from the Downloads folder. I didn't move it to the folder that contained rkhunter-1.4.4. Now, rkhunter won't work. When I try to run rkhunter, konsole can't find it (opensuse leap 15.0). I tried to run rkhunter-1.4.4 and it brings the same result. I uninstalled rkhunter-1.4.4 using ./installer.sh --remove, same for rkhunter-1.4.6. Then I tried to install rkhunter-1.4.6 using ./installer.sh --install. The readout in konsole says its installed, but konsole readout says it can't find it. I then used dolphin to find every file for rkhunter, and removed them. then I tried to install rkhunter-1.4.6 using ./installer.sh --install. It installs perfectly, but when I try to run it, konsole can't find it. How do I fix this?

[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?
