[opensuse] Flickering display in LibreOffice Writer
by Carlos E. R. 18 Jul '18

18 Jul '18

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I got a strange flickering effect in the display of photos in at least one LO writer document. The CPU goes to 150% usage while this happens; although edting works it is tiring. It stops as I scroll down. It is so difficult to explain that I captured a video, which I'll upload to google drive: <https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-u3TFGyEL_ZL2-aOp5xNjOFzBxNSDb5A/view?usp=…> - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.

[opensuse] using optimus prime on 43.3?
by Daniel Bauer 18 Jul '18

18 Jul '18

Hi, After solving the problem of loading nvidia drivers thanks to the help on this list, especially Andrei, I open a new thread in the hope that maybe, maybe my nvidia card can be used one day. I have an Asus GL552V laptop, i7 6700, optimus graphics intel/nvidia running opensuse leap 42.3, KDE It now runs the intel graphics only, in a terrible way with lot of flickering. I cannot disable the intel graphics or make the nvidia graphics primary in the BIOS (there are no such options there and I double-double-checked...). I would love to be able to switch between both cards (intel/nvidia) just as it was possible on OpenSuse 13x using suse-prime. If that's not possible, I'd love to have nvidia activated all the time. I don't want bumblebee, as for my work-flow it is not really helpful. I have installed the nvidia drivers from the opensuse nvidia repositiory and they are up and loaded. But running prime-select (installed from the 42.3 repo) something breaks so that I cannot logout from the KDE session nor shutdown with the KDE menu button. As somebody suggested I changed the display manager from sddm to kdm, but that didn't help. How can I goon testing and maybe solve the problem? What and where do I have to look? Thanks for your time and energy and help!

[opensuse] lxcc won't start
by Dave Howorth 18 Jul '18

18 Jul '18

As I mentioned in another thread, lxcc won't start after my upgrade to Leap 15. I see it has been discussed before here: https://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2018-03/msg00087.html I have the same error but the previous thread doesn't really help me. I don't understand much about themes & icons etc. I try to ignore that whole area as long as I have a display that works. David Haller suggested something to do with linking process-stop.svg and gtk-stop.svg. FWIW I have: /usr/share/icons/Tango/scalable/actions/process-stop.svg /usr/share/icons/HighContrast/scalable/actions/process-stop.svg /usr/share/icons/Tango/scalable/actions/gtk-stop.svg and according to lxappearance I am using a theme called Adwaita. If I switch to Tango then lxcc starts. I have no idea what other things changing my icon theme may do. Presumably it's a bug that I had to switch icon theme, but what is the bug? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

That was it. :) Many thanks Is there any way to tell FF to apply it system-wide or do I have to change it for every profile? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

The local network topology and services hasn't changed in a long long time. The reverse lookup from the Arch host that exhibited the slow behavior yesterday is now fine. My ISP did have a problem earlier in the day yesterday, so I suspect you are correct and it was on their end. Sorry for the noise. -- David C.

[opensuse] Build Service Fails -- //blah/blah Device Full?
by David C. Rankin 18 Jul '18

18 Jul '18

All, Last night I experienced 2 (temporary) build service failures after update of an editor package. Out of the targets 13.1 - Leap 15, all but 13.2 built, but strangely stayed in the "Finished" state for quite a while. Both architectures for 13.2 failed and the only log message was a one line log message saying: stuff //blah/blah Device Full (I wish I would have copied it, but distinctly recall the ".. URI Device Full" full part) Was there a huge demand last night or does that indicate some type of failure in the system? -- David C.

[opensuse] ssh session, open specific software with screenoutput at host not at client
by Simon Becherer 18 Jul '18

18 Jul '18

Hi, how to ssh to a host, client opens a shell (as normal), then inside this shell i like to start a program, but the complete output of this program should be at the hosts screen? i googled, but found nothing for this situation. try to do something like: simon@local:> ssh -X host simon@host:> konsole -e mc and the konsole+midnightcommaner should be opened at host screen (with host x11/hardware) not at the local machine. (as it will do with this commands) this should be a workaround for a bigger problem: i have a virtual kvm suse 10.1 running with a propertary software. this software works fine over ssh -X, screenoutput is on the client. now this software has to start an additional konsole + wine windows software (only textbased-output-inside-console!!!) this output is also on client (as normal). but, since i switched my clients from opensuse 11.4 to tumbleweed, the old virtual 10.1suse-wine produces a error: (this error i get also when trying to start wineconsole or winecfg over ssh) X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation) Major opcode of failed request: 154 (GLX) Minor opcode of failed request: 3 (X_GLXCreateContext) Value in failed request: 0x0 Serial number of failed request: 13 Current serial number in output stream: 14 (by the way glxgears work fine at client, also fine at host opensuse10.1 inside virtual screen, but not when started via ssh) (and works also when starting over ssh from one to another tumbleweed machine) because i think this is an incompatibly hardware and or software problem from old virtual running wine to actual hardware, (and i have no idea how to fix this), the idea is to do not have this output on the client. i do NOT need the screen-window-output at clientside, its a windows shell based program which only will convert some special files, so no need to see a window or what it do at all. regrads, simoN -- www.becherer.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
