[opensuse] printing to cups from macos ?
by Per Jessen 28 Jan '19

28 Jan '19

I'll throw this out here - just in case. We have a new Mac in the office, sort of BYOD style - as in, "I don't mind, but you're on your own for support". Well, I should have known better :-( Printing to our printers over cups seems to be an issue from the Mac. It looks like print jobs are queued, but they never print. Given that CUPS is Apple software, this is difficult to accept ... We have googled a lot, but I know very little about Macs, so it's like groping in the dark. Does anyone have any hints they want to share? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (-3.7°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - your free DNS host, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Is paste.opensuse.org on the fritz - language not selectable
by David C. Rankin 28 Jan '19

28 Jan '19

All, I tried to paste to paste.opensuse.org as I've done many times before, but I get the error "The Language field must have a value.", but the Language drop-down is inoperative. You click it and it sort-of depresses, but not listbox is displayed. Is this paste.opensuse on the fritz, or is if FF 60.4.0esr that is hosed? -- David C.

[opensuse] About mail filtering with procmail.
by Carlos E. R. 28 Jan '19

28 Jan '19

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, Suppose that I'm to sort an mbox folder into several others using procmail. I do that with this command: formail -s procmail ./.procmail_rules < mbox_initial_folder (pipes every single mail in "mbox_initial_folder" through procmail Now, assume this rule in .procmail_rules: :0 c: $backup This rule works perfect. Every post from "mbox_initial_folder" goes in to "backup" folder, and keeps its attributes. Now, assume this other rule: :0 w: $HOME/Mail/.D-locks/output_folder.lock | /usr/lib/dovecot/dovecot-lda -m output_folder Why the change to do the delivery using "dovecot-lda" instead of the native (to procmail) system? Because of this feature (man dovecot-lda): Main features of the dovecot-lda are: * Mailbox indexing during mail delivery, providing faster mailbox access later The problem I have discovered now is that, if a mail was marked read (or any other mark) on "mbox_initial_folder", it is lost on "output_folder". dovecot-lda destroys, resets or whatever the marks on copy. This is nasty. I have looked up the manual, but I don't see how to change that. Except reverting to procmail internal delivery agent, and somehow trigger dovecot to reindex changed folders at the end (I don't know how). Something I'd hate to do, after having edited my procmail filters to use dovecot-lda few years ago. - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.

[opensuse] Problem encountered, Community help needed
by Fraser_Bell 26 Jan '19

26 Jan '19

As you all may be aware, an IRC debate is usually held during the campaign phase of the openSUSE Board Elections. While we would like to have at least one during this campaign, we are having a bit of a problem finding someone to organize and Moderate the debate. Part of the problem is that the Moderator needs to be fluent in English. Also, we on the Elections Team are already loaded with work. So, we need a qualified openSUSE Member to step up and take care of this for us. It will take a few days, most likely, because it requires using e-mail to co-ordinate a day and a time -- across time zones -- where all Candidates can attend. It also requires preparing questions for the Candidates. Do we have any offers of help? It needs to begin right away, as the debates must be held within the next week, before February 4th.

[opensuse] application won't start: Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key
by Karl Sinn 26 Jan '19

26 Jan '19

Hi, on a fresh Leap15 install I installed flatpak and GNOME-Twitch. I didn't have any problems with this procedure on 42.3. Now while starting the program I get the following error: /usr/bin/flatpak run --branch=stable --arch=x86_64 --command=gnome-twitch com.vinszent.GnomeTwitch Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key (gnome-twitch:2): Gtk-WARNING **: 13:24:22.884: cannot open display: :99.0 I checked on google and it seems to be linked with .Xauthority and/or $DISPLAY. The proposed solutions: - delete .Xauthority - export DISPLAY=:0.0 - export DISPLAY=:1.0 - export DISPLAY=:99.0 won't change a thing. How do I solve this? Karl P.S.: I asked this question on the germen list first but as nobody seemed to be able to help I'm reasking here. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Changing Samba password from Windows

Is there any solution to change a samba password from a Windows client, if both computers are not in a NT or AD domain? >From a Linux computer this is easy, but "smbpasswd" is not available on Windows. # smbpasswd -r remote-samba-host username Set-ADAccountPassword in Powershell is no option because it depends on AD and Active Directory web services.

For instance, which repos you are using, and which mirror. $SUBJ suggests a problem regarding verifying a certificate. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (2.4°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - virtual servers, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
