[opensuse] Small editor project - feedback
by David C. Rankin 30 Jul '18

30 Jul '18

If anybody has the time (or need) for a small gtk based editor, I could use some help with testing a little project. Most recently word-completion was added along with the right-margin visual guide. Written in C with the Gtk+2 toolkit, the package is about 109k in size. Most systems will already have Gtk2 installed and the libgtksourceview package is about 300k. Both light and dark syntax highlight styles are included. For Leap 15, the package is: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/drankinatty/openSUSE_Leap_1… there are packages available for 13.1 - Leap 15. If you find any problems, let me know, or open an issue on github: https://github.com/drankinatty/gtkwrite -- David C.

[opensuse] Ancient OS and software
by Frans de Boer 30 Jul '18

30 Jul '18

LS, As is custom with previous releases of opensuse, leap 15 also has a unsupported and in linux terms ancient os embraced. I just wonder, why not use a LTS linux instead of an OS the opensuse developers have to maintain themself? Of course there is more ancient software like old gcc software etc. Okay, it is tried and stable and it compiles software which does not compile under 8.1 without modification due to syntax errors. A lot of old other stuff too. I do use TW when developing and in all those years it turns out as quite stable except for some glitches happening once a year. It feels like it is good enough for day to day office work, but if you want a little more...

[opensuse] Creating links in file browser
by Carlos E. R. 29 Jul '18

29 Jul '18

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I wonder if there is some file browser that would allow to select a number of files, and then create a hard-link of all of them in another directory. I have tried dolphin, nautilus, thunar, gnome commander. Some offer creating soft-links, I want hard links this time. Even Midnight Commander can't: it creates hard link only for the currently selected file only, and asks for destination name. Single file and prompt, so no use for this. Nautilus, for instance, can create soft-links on the selection, but then can not select a bunch of files by pattern. I have to select all, then delete by pattern using something else. Thunar can select by pattern, but not create links of any kind instead of copy. No tool is complete yet? Then Nautilus goes nuts, processing my directory that I'm trying to link, which is full of photos, doing the preview of a thousand photos. Both on the original and the copy. Then tracker-store goes nuts as well, at 100% CPU. All my 4 cores are busy :-( - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.

[opensuse] Nvidia Repository
by Dave Smith 29 Jul '18

29 Jul '18

The last several days my update applications on OpenSuSE have reported time out errors with the Nvidia Repositories. Are the servers down or have they moved?

[opensuse] kodi logging in the wine directories
by Dave Howorth 29 Jul '18

29 Jul '18

Why is kodi logging under .wine? I just did a search to find if kodi made any logs. I was very surprised to find a log in /home/piglet/home/dhoworth/.wine/dosdevices/y:/.kodi/temp/kodi.log /home/piglet/home/dhoworth/ is a data directory where I keep most of my personal files. Lots of things have symbolic links from /home/dhoworth to there because there is more space there. e.g. /home/dhoworth/Pictures -> ../piglet/home/dhoworth/Pictures/ .wine is there because in the dim and distant past it used to actually be my home directory and in those dim and distant days I occasionally used wine, but I haven't used it for ages. So why has the newly installed kodi decided to write a log in such an obscure place? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] snapperd when I start a service?
by Dave Howorth 28 Jul '18

28 Jul '18

Seriously? snapperd runs whenever I start or stop a service in YaST? Isn't that a little over the top? It makes my system slow to a crawl for ages whilst it presumably snapshots the filesystem, just because I started a service? Is there any way to change that (other than the obvious way of not using that function in YaST)? Why is that the default? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] chromium update?
by Dave Howorth 27 Jul '18

27 Jul '18

I've just got a 'security' update for chromium, together with an 'optional' update. The optional update lists a load of ffmpeg packages which on my system come from packman, not opensuse. So my instinct was to refuse the optional update. So I accepted the security update and it said it wants to 'conditionally update' (=install) libavutil56, libavcode58, libswresample3 and libavformat58. That would mean I have a mixture of libav* components from packman and opensuse. Is that wise? What is supposed to happen here? Why does a web browser care so much about the particular versions of my multimedia libraries anyway? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] tvheadend access control
by Dave Howorth 26 Jul '18

26 Jul '18

I want to try tvheadend as an alternative to mythtv. I installed the package and started the service from YaST. It's running. I believe all setup is supposed to be done through its web interface at http://localhost:9981/ but when I go there I am presented with an 'Authentication Required' dialog. I gather that the vanilla tvheadend is open-access when shipped and any required access control is added after installation and configuration from within the web interface. So I can only suppose that somebody decided unrestricted access was dangerous and modified the program before shipping the opensuse version. I've tried a few obvious candidate name-password pairs. I've looked in what seem to me to be the obvious places for any documentation, or configuration file that contains details of the required username and password, but have failed to find any such. Does anybody know how to get access to tvheadend's web interface? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] YaST crashed then the log reporter had an error then bugzilla crashed :(
by Dave Howorth 25 Jul '18

25 Jul '18

So I just had YaST crash on me and then, and then when I ran save_y2logs that had an error and then whilst trying to report the bug, bugzilla crashed: Secure Connection Failed The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading. The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified. Please contact the web site owners to inform them of this problem. Further, it appears that the bug was not recorded! It's title started "yast software manager crashed ..." and a search of bugzilla doesn't find it. I'm not about to try resubmitting 5 MB of logs without some kind of assurance that it's not going to do exactly the same again. How else can I send the logs? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Where is wine-mono?
by Carlos E. R. 25 Jul '18

25 Jul '18

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Running wine for the first time it complains that wine-mono is not installed. It says it can download it from upstream, but it reccomends using the distribution package. However, yast doesn't find it, and neither the opensuse search page, except some home repos (for Leap 15.0). Did I miss something? - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.
