[opensuse] Is it possible to start video playing on another computer?

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi. So I'm reading email in my desktop and a post arrives "see this interesting youtube video". I start viewing it, and decide that I want to watch it on my "media server", another openSUSE machine that I use as media server. How can I launch the youtube there? I need to transfer the URL. Sometimes I just type the boring sequence of letters in the youtube search box. I can of course write the URL in a file and copy it over with scp. Any chance of doing things the android or windows way of swiping the finger on the screen and sending the video flying to the waiting media server machine, but with openSUSE instead? :-) It's ok if I don't get to the finger thing, just some command... :-) - -- Cheers Carlos E.

[opensuse] system-wide wireless in Leap 15.0 with plasma desktop
by Istvan Gabor 18 Jun '18

18 Jun '18

Hello: I have installed openSUSE Leap 15.0 with plasma desktop for testing. It is a fresh install from install DVD. During installation I haven't configured the network. I would like to configure wireless network now as follows: - The enabled wifi networks which a user can connect to are configured by root and used system-wide. Users can not modify connection settings. (For example a user can connect to the allowed wifi networks only, not to others, even they are available.) Would be better that wifi networks which are not enabled/allowed are even not shown at all. - The users should be able to connect/disconnect to/from the allowed network. This could be done easily in previous openSUSE versions by using yast ifconfig method and kinternet together or configuring wifi connection in networkmanager as root. In Leap 15.0 default plasma I could not find how I can configure wifi as root. If I click the nm-applet in the systray the user can turn on/off wireless, all the available wifi networks are shown in the widget and users can connect to any of them if they enter the wifi password. If I select network setting in nm-applet there is no option (no tab) for adding and configure wireless connection. What is the method to configure wifi connection centrally in Leap 15? I tried to find an answer by google searching but could not find anything relevant.

[opensuse] Intermitent repo errors
by Carlos E. R. 18 Jun '18

18 Jun '18

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, A moment ago, I was using yast to update a machine, and got a warning that repo: <https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/xfce/openSUSE_Leap_42.3/> was unsigned. Impossible, I had used that same repo: <https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/xfce/openSUSE_Leap_42.3/> on another machine and there was no error. I just pasted the repo urls from both machines here to verify that they are the same. So I exited yast and called "zypper ref --force", not a glitch. On the other machine I got another transient error about a repo/repo file in OSS not existing. click retry, etc, exit, run yast again paying more attention, no errors this time. What is going on? - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.

[opensuse] opensuse mailing list site ridiculousness
by Istvan Gabor 17 Jun '18

17 Jun '18

Hello: I tried to open openSUSE mailing lists in an older firefox, 24.8.1 ESR at http://lists.opensuse.org/ which redirects to https://lists.opensuse.org/ and the browser can't open the page, instead give an error message: "The connection was interrupted The connection to lists.opensuse.org was interrupted while the page was loading. The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments. If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection. If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web." I guess the problem might be an authentication/key/certificate error. (Newer seamonkey can open the page). First I don't really get why looking at a mailing list page requires an https connection at all. I can imagine that some want secure connection to the mailing list site but automatic redirection should not occur. Third, many https site just work with this old firefox. https://software.opensuse.org/ doesn't open either. https://www.opensuse.org/ works. This should be fixed.

[opensuse] openSUSE on 2 in 1 device
by Vojtěch Zeisek 17 Jun '18

17 Jun '18

Hello, as my old ASUS Transformer Android tablet is slowly decaying, I'm thinking about its replacement. I'd prefer some "standard" device with x86_64 architecture which could serve as notebook and which would have detachable keyboard to work as tablet for reading etc. I don't wont Android anymore. So far I like Lenovo Miix 320 https://www3.lenovo.com/us/en/tablets/windows-tablets/miix-series/-Miix-320… HP X2 210 G2 https://store.hp.com/us/en/mdp/hp-x2-210--1 ASUS Transformer Mini T102HA https://www.asus.com/2-in-1-PCs/ASUS-Transformer-Mini-T102HA/ Acer One 10 https://www.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/series/acerone10 I'd prefer to buy it without Windows (impossible, I'm afraid) and use it only with Linux, preferable with openSUSE TW. Does anyone have some experience with this? Would anyone recommend different comparable device (up to ~450 €)? What are Your experiences with touch screen usability? I prefer KDE (Well, will it run on 4 GB RAM?), but I don't mind some another (I just don't like GNOME). I wonder how convenient is touchscreen on simple tasks like web browsing, reading, etc. More specifically, how do applications like Firefox LO Writer, Okular, etc. work on touchscreen? Does screen rotation work well? Last but not least, I'd prefer certain quality of construction - durability, display quality, etc. I don't wish any plastic crap which would break up easily. On the other hand, I don't care about sound or webcam. V. -- Vojtěch Zeisek Komunita openSUSE GNU/Linuxu Community of the openSUSE GNU/Linux https://www.opensuse.org/ https://trapa.cz/

[opensuse] Leap 15.0 and Amarok problems
by Andrei Verovski 17 Jun '18

17 Jun '18

Hi ! I encountered numerous problems with Amarok from SuSE repo: 1) It always throws annoying error: This object could not be created for the following reason: Could not find requested component Which cannot be dismissed in any way. The only meaningful debug message so far is: QWidget::setMinimumSize: (Media Sources dock/BrowserDock) Negative sizes (200,-1) are not possible 2) Which gstreamer plugins required for Amarok in order to play flac? There are gstreamer-plugins 1.12.5 "good", "bad", "ugly" - which ones?

[opensuse] "Speaker" icon on Firefox
by James Knott 16 Jun '18

16 Jun '18

I often play music with Amarok. On the task bar, it has an icon for a speaker, as might be expected. However, this icon now appears on Firefox. If I display the list of Firefox windows, each one has the same icon, even on sites that don't have any audio. Is this a new "feature"? It doesn't appear with other browsers. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Plasma - how to set digital clock plasmoid font size?
by David C. Rankin 16 Jun '18

16 Jun '18

All, How can I change the font size of the digital clock plasmoid in the taskbar? Apparently, in the past there was a pointSize parameter in the file: /usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.digitalclock/contents/ui/DigitalClock.qml I have tried changing: font.pixelSize: 1024 to font.pixelSize: 512 hoping to 1/2 the font size, but no joy. Is there any way to do this? The font is huge (and this is with a small narrow font), e.g. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
