[opensuse] play sound from procmail
by Michael Fischer 22 Aug '18

22 Aug '18

Hi all. I've got the basic recipe working, e.g. :0 * ^from:.*foo@gmail.com.* { :0c: ${MAILDIR}/INBOX :0ahi | cvlc -I default -R --gain 8.0 ${HOME}/ringtones/cash_register.mp3 } (pretty much copy-pasted from examples on the web). However, while the `cvlc` commmand works fine from the command line, when run from procmail, I keep getting [000055a9e1d96468] core audio output error: Audio output failed [000055a9e1d96468] core audio output error: The audio device "default" could not be used: Device or resource busy.

[pulseaudio] main.c: Module load failed. [pulseaudio] main.c: Module load failed. [pulseaudio] main.c: Failed to initialize daemon. [pulseaudio] main.c: Daemon startup failed. in `journalctl -f`. (leading bits of the lines trimmed) I have tried wrapping the `cvlc` in a shell script which does export DISPLAY=:0 cvlc -I default -R --gain 8.0 ${HOME}/ringtones/cash_register.mp3 but that doesn't help. In this case I get a standard message in the procmail log and the following in `journalctl -f` [pulseaudio] socket-server.c: bind(): Address already in use [pulseaudio] module.c: Failed to load module "module-esound-protocol-unix" (argument: ""): initialization failed. [pulseaudio] main.c: Module load failed. [pulseaudio] main.c: Failed to initialize daemon. [pulseaudio] main.c: Daemon startup failed. Suggestions? Any sound card info I should provide, etc.?

[opensuse] skype for linux version4.3
by Constant Brouerius van Nidek 22 Aug '18

22 Aug '18

With the latest Skype for Linux version 8.xx I still have lots of problems with sound which entered in Skype since the last working Skype 4.3 Was lurking on the web and found that there are some Linux Skype users who found ways to use their 4.3 version. Lost that info and can not find the Skype v4.3 rpm for the install. Same as the way around the version 4.3 no-no which was build in the use of skypeforlinux. Could somebody give me the tips I looking for? -- opensuse:tumbleweed:20180815 Qt: 5.11.1 KDE Frameworks: 5.48.0 - KDE Plasma: 5.13.4 - kwin 5.13.4 kmail2 5.8.3 - akonadiserver 5.8.3 - Kernel: 4.17.14-1-default -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] ftps protocol not supported in Leap 42.2 and 42.3 KDE3
by Istvan Gabor 21 Aug '18

21 Aug '18

Hello: I use KDE3 in all of my openSUSE systems as desktop manager. I found that ftps protocol is not working in openSUSE Leap 42.2 and 42.3 KDE3. When I write "ftps://ftp.xxx.xxx:21" either into krusader or konqueror address bar I get this error message: Protocol not supported ftps ftps works in openSUSE 13.2 KDE3 and "ftps://ftp.xxx.xxx:21" in the address bar brings up the login window. Is there a way to make ftps work in Leap 42.2 and 42.3? (I also checked KDE4 krusader (2.4.0-beta3, KDE 4.14.33) and it doesn't support ftps protocol either in Leap 42.2 or 13.2.)

[opensuse] kernel versions
by don fisher 21 Aug '18

21 Aug '18

I have read discussions concerning the wisdom of Opensuse not running current kernels. But I recently purchased an Alienware 13 3 that is near EOL, so it is not real bleeding edge technology. Neither the wireless nor Ethernet are supported, and now I find the the graphics chipset is not supported either. I was able to use a USB wireless transmitter, but I cannot get around the display hardware. message about wireless in dmesg is: ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/firmware-5.bin failed with error -2 Qualcomm Atheros Killer E2500 Gigabit Ethernet Controller is not configurable, except with a patch into the /sys directory found on the internet. Message about the graphics chipset from the Nouveau list is: "GP106 is supported, you must be using an older kernel (since yours says "unknown chipset")". How dangerous is it to download on of the kernels from the Opensuse search site. Kernel.org says the latest stable release is 4.17.12. Under search/42.3/community packages, there are a few offerings shown at this revision level. How bad is it to install one of these kernels?

But it does exist :-) The "rcCOMAND" were symlinks to old init scripts, for shorter typing. They have been kept with systemd. The long and modern version is: systemctl restart network And does what the name would suggest. No, no manpage, perhaps a mention in a book. You will not find a man page to the old and shorthand version.

It exists because many old users are used to them and know them by heart, needing no man pages to know what they did and keep doing ;-) Just trust me and run any of the variants of the command ;-) Like: systemctl restart network which is equivalent to two commands: systemctl stop network systemctl start network or rcnetwork restart -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.

[opensuse] unwanted error messages

Running Leap 42.3. In my messages files I repeatedly receive "You have modified /etc/resolv.conf" error messages. I would like to turn off this check. Or find out how to make my resolve.conf look like what opensuse is expecting.

[opensuse] xtables-addons kernel modules package
by Jeremy Baker 18 Aug '18

Hello. I can't seem to find the xtables-addons-kmp-default package for current leap 15 kernels. I like to keep my system running the latest supplied opensuse kernel, but would really like to make use of the xtables functionality in my firewall. Is there some way that I can build the modules for the latest kernel (4.12.14-lp150.12.10-default)? The only version available in yast is 2.14_k4.12.14_lp150.11-lp150.2.25 Thanks -- Jeremy Baker <jab(a)mbcs.ca> GnuPGP fingerprint = EE66 AC49 E008 E09A 7A2A 0195 50EF 580B EDBB 95B6 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Fax vulnerability
by ken 17 Aug '18

17 Aug '18

It the past few days it's been announced that there is a vulnerability in many "fax machines" (more accurately, all-in-one printers with fax capabilities). I've tracked down and downloaded a tarball, but have found very little info about it. The contents of the tarball look like a mix of a website and a python program with some C code and printer drivers and other stuff thrown in. Should I start wading through all that, or will there be an update coming out from Suse? I've got an HP OfficeJet, if that plays a role. tnx -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
