[opensuse] Any advise on encrypting a file system for personal data on openSUSE?
by Linux Kamarada 02 Sep '18

02 Sep '18

Hi, everyone! Recently, as I told on another thread, I installed openSUSE in dual boot with Windows. I would like to encrypt a partition I use to store my personal files (Documents, Downloads, Pictures, Music and Videos). I want to use a file system that can be mounted read/write on both Linux and Windows. Is there any recommendation/advising/suggestion on which encrypted file system I could use to achieve that? I searched the opensuse and opensuse-factory mailing lists and didn't find any for Leap 42.3 and 15.0. openSUSE docs talks about LUKS, but I googled briefly and LUKS support on Windows is abandonware... Maybe I explain better showing my partition setup: Windows recover partition - 499MB Windows reserved partition - 99MB Windows (C:) - NTFS - 100GB openSUSE (/) - Btrfs - 100GB Personal files (D:) - NTFS - 200GB * Home (/home) - XFS - 30.53GB ** Swap - 16GB * This partition I want to encrypt and have it accessible on both Linux and Windows ** This partition I just want to encrypt Thank you in advance!

[opensuse] How to download .bin and .txt file from Firefox
by don fisher 23 Aug '18

23 Aug '18

There are a few firmware files I need to down load to get my wireless running. I thought in Firefox, if you clicked on a file, there was a way to select downloading. Now all I get is a dump in hexedit. Is there something to set up to restore this basic capability?

[opensuse] Question re why part of a magazine article does not print
by Basil Chupin 17 Aug '18

17 Aug '18

I printed out this article- https://au.pcmag.com/software/138/guide/the-best-vpn-services-of-2018 but the table at the beginning of the article won't print -- the printing begins with the Heading then skips the table of the various VPNs and continues from "VPNs Keep You Safe Online". I had to use the Firefox Add-on 'Screengrab' to save that table to a file and then printed that *.png file. Any thoughts as to why that table will not print as part of that article but has to be saved as a separate file in order to print it? (Using Leap 15.0 [with kernel 4.17.11-3], Firefox v 60.0.1esr, and the printer is Epson Expression Photo XP-960.)

[opensuse] CANBus experience
by Roger Oberholtzer 16 Aug '18

16 Aug '18

Anyone using a CANBus card with openSUSE? We will soon have a MobilEye device that we want to test integrating with our system. And it speaks CANBus. We are on our own to provide the CANBus card. So something that is known to play nice with Linux/openSUSE is what we are looking for. So any suggestions or experiences are welcome. -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] no more mp4 (html5) reading on leap 42.3 browsers
by jdd＠dodin.org 06 Aug '18

06 Aug '18

I'm not sure if it's related with others threads (about chromium), but since a very short time I'm unable to read mp4 on my leap 43.2 browsers (browsers only) for example this video I just uploaded to my gallery, built with kdenlive and my usual scripts http://dodin.org/piwigo/picture.php?/142551-003_flames/category/7520 I can't read it neither with Firefox nor Chromium I can read Youtube with Firefox, at least this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ObBKKv13F2E&list=RDObBKKv13F2E&start_radio=1 but the same do not read on Chromium. Also I noticed that I couldn't anymore read Facebook videos with chromium nor Firefox, for example https://www.facebook.com/WelfarmFR/videos/271545503609293/ any idea? thanks 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] yast, mythweb and php version
by Dave Howorth 05 Aug '18

05 Aug '18

I'm trying to bring up mythweb. I've discovered that it's a separate package but am somewhat confused. Most of mythtv is v0.28 from packman and there is a mythweb package that is also 0.28, but there are also 0.27 & 0.26 versions and I'm not clear why. That's minor though, the main problem is that when I try to install mythweb I see an error: nothing provides apache2-mod_php5 But the only PHP module for apache seems to be v7: apache2-mod_php7 - PHP7 module for the Apache 2.x webserver and that is installed. Now according to https://code.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/12588 that problem was encountered three years ago and was fixed in mythweb two years ago apparently in v0.27. So 0.28 should be OK. So why am I seeing the error and is there any way I can work around it? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Which WiFi uses less battery
by Carlos E. R. 04 Aug '18

04 Aug '18

Hi, Apparently for tethering my laptop to my mobile phone I can configure to use 2.4 or 5 Ghz. So I wonder which uses less battery - on each side. If it is a significant difference. Normally on radio higher frequency uses less energy (and reach less distance and is more directive) Just curious! :-) -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

[opensuse] keyboard in Leap 15.0
by Dave Howorth 04 Aug '18

04 Aug '18

When I boot Leap 15 the vertical pipe symbol doesn't work. Instead it prints '>' and backslash prints '<'. I have a UK keyboard that has always worked fine. So I go into YaST/Hardware/System Keyboard and I see that it says I have English(UK) selected. So I type in the Test box and see >< instead of what I should see. So I select English(US) and then select English(UK) again and type again and this time see |\. Which would be fine except this happens every time I boot. Which is very annoying. Anybody seen this? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
