[opensuse] at and openSUSE Leap 15.0
by John Young 11 Jun '18

11 Jun '18

I have some folks who use the "at" command to schedule compute intensive jobs after normal working hours. It works fine on the Leap 42.2 and 42.3 systems here, but I have not found an RPM for at under Leap 15.0. Has at been dropped or its functionality been picked up by another package?

[opensuse] Big problems with Cinepaint 1.4.0 under OpenSuSE Leap 42.3
by Per Inge Oestmoen 11 Jun '18

11 Jun '18

Hello friends! I have used Cinepaint for more than ten years, and it is still the best open source/free software image editor. GIMP 2.10 still lacks mature color management, the internal engines are programmed to presuppose sRGB in all files. Therefore GIMP is a limited alternative, at least for me. However, since I had to upgrade from OpenSuSE 13.2 to Leap 42.3 because of compatibility issues with new RAW image converters, I have encountered two big problems. I use CinePaint 1.4.0. The exact version is cinepaint-1.4.1-1.19.x86_64. I have also tried cinepaint-1.4.1-2.40.x86_64, but that one would not open a single file and instead crashed repeatedly. Problem 1: Failure to open the program from the graphical menu in the systray: http://www.coldsiberia.net/phototest/Screenshot_20180611_181031_cinepaint_e… Problem 2: This is very serious: http://www.coldsiberia.net/phototest/Screenshot_20180611_145508_cinepaint_e… - The first problem is an inconvenience. It is possible to start the program from the console, but it is not optimal in particular if we want more people to use CinePaint. - The second problem is serious, it hampers the program function and these error messages pop up constantly. No matter what I do with CinePaint under OpenSuSE Leap 42.3, large numbers of similar error messages litter the screen. Can you give me - and others with the same problems - help to remedy them effectively? If so, I shall be thankful. -- Noise reduction is just another word for image destruction.

[opensuse] brtfs subvolume as VM images storage
by sogal 11 Jun '18

11 Jun '18

Hi all, I have a project of a small home server that I will use as an hypervisor. I was wondering if there is any advantages (except the ones natively provided by btrfs itself) or drawbacks using a btrfs subvolume as VM (qcow files) images storage ? Or if there is some mount options to add for performance purpose ? This storage will host four or five 40G qcow files. Thanks a lot for your comments.

[opensuse] Why tumbleweed not faster (or fastest?)
by L A Walsh 11 Jun '18

11 Jun '18

https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=mac-win-linux2018&num=6 Phoronix did benchmarks w/windows10 macOS 10.13.4, Ubuntu, Win10 WSL Ubuntu18.04 Fedora WS 28, & Clear Linux 22780. Clear linux was leader almost 60% of the time followed by a 21% showing for MacOS and Fedora 10%... Win10 was in last place 38% of the time, followed by Ubuntu @ 30% of the time in last place... They don't rank the other OS's in the synopsis, but the best Tumbleweed did was middle of the pack on many tests, one it got 2nd place, while several it was dead last almost 6x slower on some tests against Clear linux. How's that possible? I would have thought the linux OS's would have been grouped closer together, but apparently not. Tumbleweed didn't show in any of the graphicsMagick packages. Article didn't say why. Anyway not often I see tumbleweed mentioned, so ... at least that was a postive. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Internet doesn't work after 42.3 dup 15.0
by Mark Misulich 11 Jun '18

11 Jun '18

Hi, I upgraded my laptop from 42.3 to 15.0 using zypper dup. I was able to access the internet before the upgrade, now I can't. I can connect to my wifi router, but the upgraded operating system won't allow me to access the internet now. I am connecting using Networkmanager. I tried to connect with my wired connection, and I can't get the internet through it as well. I switched to wicked, and in yast my wifi and other wifi's in the neighborhood are visible. So the hardware appears to work normally, but I still can't get the internet. I also cannot connect using a wired ethernet connection using wicked. So I switched back to Networkmanager. I have compared the network configuration settings in yast to my desktop computer settings, and the configuration appears to be identical. The laptop is a dual boot, and using Mr. Gate's system, I can connect to the internet normally. I would appreciate help to fix this problem.

[opensuse] keyboard layouts in vnc
by Istvan Gabor 11 Jun '18

11 Jun '18

Hello: I frequently use different vnc programs: for server I use x11vnc or vncserver of xorg-x11-Xvnc package. I use either vncviewer-tigervnc or realvnc vnc clients. I also use different keyboard layouts on the server and client machines, usually default English layout and Hungarian layout with accented characters. The desktops I use KDE3 and KDE4. My question is how the keyboard schemes are defined/set in vnc (server and client side) and how it is decided that a given pressed character what character will be on the other side. It's seems to me really messy. For example which one is important: the keyboard layout on the client machine or the server machine? Is it affected by desktop manager (KDE3/KDE4/GNOME), etc. Thanks in advance, Istvan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

Re: [opensuse] Laptop advice

As long as it never breaks your fine. I have an older DV6000 which is stuck in head phone mode. The repair entails taking apart 64 connections half of them ribben cables and about two hours work. IOW the whole thing must be taken apart. So now I am shopping for a good deal on Dell new or refurbished with 4 usb and a DVDRW inside.

[opensuse] Alt-F2 still doesn't work for man - 15.0
by James Knott 10 Jun '18

10 Jun '18

Once again, pressing Alt-F2 and then entering #<command> does not bring up the man page. This was a very useful feature, that hasn't worked for some time. Any chance of getting it back? When I try to get a man page, at the bottom of the list of things that can be opened, there's a line that says "Locations: Go to man:/", but clicking on it opens Seamonkey. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] zypper dup very busy defragging btrfs, when there is nobtrfs partition...
by Carlos E. R. 09 Jun '18

Hi, zypper dup of one 42.3 system to 15.0 on a VBox guest. After this question: 1904 packages to upgrade, 607 to downgrade, 762 new, 291 to remove, 8 to change vendor, 8 to change arch. Overall download size: 1.97 GiB. Already cached: 0 B. After the operation, additional 1.3 GiB will be used. Continue? [y/n/...? shows all options] (y): Do you agree with the terms of the license? [yes/no] (no): yes The system gets busy for minutes with snapper.py, and later with btrfs-defrag-pl, but there are no btrfs partitions at all: lsblk --output NAME,KNAME,RA,RM,RO,SIZE,TYPE,FSTYPE,LABEL, NAME KNAME RA RM RO SIZE TYPE FSTYPE LABEL sda sda 512 0 0 20G disk ├─sda1 sda1 512 0 0 7M part ├─sda2 sda2 512 0 0 4G part swap swap_1 ├─sda3 sda3 512 0 0 10G part ext4 Main └─sda4 sda4 512 0 0 6G part xfs Home sdb sdb 512 0 0 20G disk ├─sdb1 sdb1 512 0 0 4G part swap swap_2 ├─sdb2 sdb2 512 0 0 12G part ext4 Usr └─sdb3 sdb3 512 0 0 4G part crypto_LUKS └─cr_sdb3 dm-0 512 0 0 4G crypt xfs sdc sdc 512 0 0 20G disk └─sdc1 sdc1 512 0 0 4.9G part reiserfs Reiserfs I can understand testing for btrfs then exiting, but it takes minutes at 100% CPU. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.
