[opensuse] HP PhotoSmart C6180
by David T-G 06 May '18

06 May '18

Hi, all -- I hate printers, but ... you just can't get away from them, and it would be helpful to be able to print from my laptop instead of needing to go and borrow another. Ugh. I tried the YaST "Add New Printer" config and I can talk to it but cannot find any drivers when I search for "photosmart". Does anyone have any pointers to the simplest way to set up this sucker? Note that this is a older multi-function inkjet that probably relies on the PC to do the composition work, so my laptop will likely need a driver that will lay out the page and then send the rendered finished version for printing. Oh for the simple days of a LaserJet III that handled whatever you threw at it! :-) Anyway, I'd love any tips.

The GNOME Software Updater is working on this laptop, but the strange thing is that there isn't any configuration option to be found as described in the docs. So I assume that a configuration module is missing? > As Carlos says, you already have YaST. Why not use that? Yes, I like the YaST-on-demand-way of updating (which can be done at times when there is sufficient bandwidth) and uninstall + taboo the packagekit packages. Thank you Carlos and Dave, for your replies. Cheers, Fritz -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Tumbleweed and openssl
by Roger Oberholtzer 04 May '18

I'm updating a Tumbleweed system, which is basically up to date. The thing that remains is below. I'm not sure what the best answer is. I would suspect that it is Solution 3. But I do not want to mess up my system. So I'm asking for advice. I don't compile anything for openssl. So the devel package is not needed by me.

[opensuse] systemd automount
by Per Jessen 03 May '18

Is there any way of finding out what prevents a (supposedly idle) automount from expiring? I have these 2-3 automounts - 2018-04-29T11:33:31+02:00 newton systemd[1]: srv-mysql.automount: Got automount request for /srv/mysql, triggered by 2347 (cmahostd) 2018-04-29T11:33:31+02:00 newton systemd[1]: srv-www.automount: Got automount request for /srv/www, triggered by 2347 (cmahostd) 2018-04-29T11:33:31+02:00 newton systemd[1]: proc-sys-fs-binfmt_misc.automount: Got automount request for /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc, triggered by 2347 (cmahostd) I was expecting /srv/mysql and /srv/www to expire at some point, and I don't see either in lsof output. I don't really mind, but because those mount points are not yet in use, it made me curious. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (20.6°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - virtual servers, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] enable 'ftp' on download servers?
by L A Walsh 03 May '18

03 May '18

Is it possible to enable ftp downloads on the distro servers? I was trying to be more finicky about what I downloaded short of writing a specialized script, and saw some might be done using wildcards ('*-xyz.rpm', etc), but it seems that only ftp supports wildcards due to it having a common looking display for listing files in a directory vs. http having no standard when it comes to displaying a directory. The alternative simplest way might be to download everything in the directory and throw files that don't match keep-patterns or keep those that do match them. Ideally, though, it would be preferable to avoid downloading anything not wanted/needed rather than filter after the fact. Trying to have a script that downloads only the files from relevant or wanted archs, that adapts to different types (binary, src, debug, update) for different distro types (static v. rolling), is more than a bit messy...ick. Anyway .. not a requirement, as for the dirs I want to use wildcards in are the ones most likely to benefit from a more intelligent download script -- but one that I don't have written right now when I was already needing to update some rpms with newer ones...erk... Anyway, it is a thought...if not too difficult.... thanks, -linda -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] import into Yast list of previously installed packages
by ken 02 May '18

02 May '18

Has anyone ever used the "Export" and then "Import" functions in Yast's "Software Management" section? If so, did it work? After searching quite a bit for documentation and/or discussion on that feature (?), I found only this: https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/497411-import-package-list which was doubtful... but that discussion was from four years ago, so perhaps there have been positive developments. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
