[opensuse] Virtualbox Linux Guest bug with 4.17 - heads up
by David C. Rankin 24 Jun '18

24 Jun '18

All, I you use Linux guests in virtualbox (especially if you access them via rdesktop after starting the host --headless), there are two bugs you should be aware of before updating the guest to the 4.17 kernel: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/59091 and https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/17827 Both are regarding the same bug, one with Arch and the other with Oracle. You essentially lose the left-mouse button input (rather important if you are running a desktop within the guest) The Host kernel makes no difference, it is the guest update that will cause the problems. -- David C.

[opensuse] Limiting the battery charge on a laptop permanently plugged on
by Carlos E. R. 23 Jun '18

23 Jun '18

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I got a small and light Lenovo laptop for travelling. Looking at the native Windows, one of the manufacturer options is to limit the battery charge to 55..60% while the charger is plugged, because this will increase the battery life. I will install Linux as soon as I end updating the Windows part, so I ask: do we have a tool in Linux to limit the battery charge? The battery is not removable without opening the entire thing up, so that's not an option. I googled, found some hits: <https://askubuntu.com/questions/34452/how-can-i-limit-battery-charging-to-8…> <https://www.reddit.com/r/linux4noobs/comments/5yf6jp/limiting_battery_charg…> It seems that "tlp" is available on OSS :-) - -- Cheers Carlos E.

[opensuse] Can't make Libre Office Base work
by Carlos E. R. 23 Jun '18

23 Jun '18

Hi, I'm trying again LO Base against an existing database in MySQL. Things have improved, but not enough to make it work. First main improvement is that it LO now connects directly without using things like ODBC or JDBC. Wonderful. I can see my database: <http://paste.opensuse.org/64191135> But as you can see in the table view: <http://paste.opensuse.org/77063841> columns such as "author" or "Genre" display the index numbers, not the corresponding names. This is how it displays in Rekall - correctly: <http://paste.opensuse.org/25141180> I look around menus in LOB and I find in tools "Relations". Wonderful! I simply need to define the relationships between the several tables. In less than a minute I define the first one, in the familiar method I used in Windows decades ago and that Rekall also used: <http://paste.opensuse.org/65162073> There is a little problem, it seems to link index to index, while it should be "autor" in the left to "indice" in the right. I fiddle a bit and try to edit the relationship: <http://paste.opensuse.org/35000587> Sure enough, the relationship is not correct. I change it. <http://paste.opensuse.org/75355788> BUT! The OK button does nothing. I have to press cancel to exit. The line connecting the tables disappear: <http://paste.opensuse.org/58564267> And trying to connect them again fails. No error, simply ignores me. I can click on Relationships again, and the box is empty. How is this supposed to work? Is Libre Office Base finished? I have been waiting for this feature in Linux since 1998, when I used it in Windows Office and worked instantly. Rekall in KDE3 did it fine, but Rekall is no longer provided in openSUSE. In fact, in order to take the photos for this post and show the line connecting the relationship I have to exit LO and delete the created file. It only draws the line the first time I try, not the next times. Yes, I have looked in LO help. Useless. No howto. I don't understand a word of it. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

[opensuse] access certificate on firefox
by Dave Howorth 22 Jun '18

22 Jun '18

How do I access a certificate on firefox? (FF52.8 on Leap 42.3) I'm trying to open my electricity supplier's website and FF says energyco.co.uk uses an invalid security certificate. The certificate is only valid for the following names: *.azurewebsites.net, *.scm.azurewebsites.net, *.azure-mobile.net, *.scm.azure-mobile.net, *.sso.azurewebsites.net Error code: SSL_ERROR_BAD_CERT_DOMAIN but I can't find out how to actually inspect the certificate to see what FF is complaining about. chromium by contrast opens the website and shows me a certificate that looks sensible. I want to understand whether it has been fooled or ff is borked. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] About crypttab in L150.0 - is this correct?
by Carlos E. R. 21 Jun '18

21 Jun '18

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, in a 15.0 freshly installed I got this /etc/crypttab file: cr_sda4 /dev/sda4 It surprises me that there are no "options". The normal syntax is: # - ------------------------···-------------···--------···------------------... # <target device> <source device> <key file> <options> # ------------------------···-------------···--------···------------------ I suppose the result is cr_sda4 /dev/sda4 none none or perhaps "auto". But what surprises me more is "/dev/sda4". I thought that method was deprecated, and we should use UUIDs instead. In my main computer, disk /dev/sda changes from boot to boot depending on what external disks I have connected, or none. Thus the rest, sdb, sdc... shift. I don't think this is correct. :-? - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.

[opensuse] help with download server mirrors
by don fisher 20 Jun '18

20 Jun '18

I looked at https://mirrors.opensuse.org/list/all.html and found none that claim to have source for Leap 15. If I go to the opensuse site: download.opensuse.org/source/distribution/leap/15.0-Current/repo/oss/src/ and try to download files I receive many with a .mirrorlist extension. Examination of those files indicates that there are mirrors that do contain the source code. Is there some other list of mirrors that I should refer to? There are also links in this tree to: openSUSE_Leap_15.0/ 15.0-Current/ openSUSE-current/ I do not know what the difference in these are. I had assumed that Leap 15.0 was current, so is 15.0-Current more current and include updates?

[opensuse] Amazing: touch screen just works :-)
by Carlos E. R. 20 Jun '18

20 Jun '18

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I just installed Leap 15.0 on a new, cheap, and small laptop machine that has a touchpad and touchscreen («Lenovo Yoga 300-11IBR», 11.6"), and the touch screen just works out of the box, both in gnome and Xfce. Ok, pressing buttons in a tiny screen with fingers is not sufficiently precise, but moving a page in firefox with the finger turns out to be faster than using the touchpad. Although in xfce or gnome touching and moving the insides of the firefox window selects text, not moves it. I have to touch the sliding bar. Still... I'm gladly surprised :-) Of course, none of the desktops seems optimized for "tablet mode". Windows does have it but I have not tried. It was in Windows where I saw the utility of moving the inside of the firefox window. Maybe that is configurable in Linux? In xfce mouse settings I see two entries: the default one is "ATML 10000:00 003EB:8C3C", whatever that is, and the other is "SynPS/2 Synaptics Touchpad". Both seem to refer to the touchpad. - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.
