[opensuse] zypper dup 42.3 -> 15.0 loses all LibreOffice Templates/Settings, KDE Plastic/Keramik styles not available?
by David C. Rankin 20 Nov '19

20 Nov '19

All, After having done several full installs of 15.0 and 15.1 with no notable issues, I did my first zypper dup --downloadinadvance after having done a zypper clean and zypper ref. The zypper dup went well (even with the NVidia drivers and cinelerra repos). However, I have two frustrating problems that are not present in the fresh installs of 15.0 and 15.1. First with LibreOffice, all templates, settings and dictionaries are gone. Nowhere to be found in the menus. Next, I use Keramik as the KDE3 style (in both 15.0 and 15.1 fresh installs), but after a zypper dup, the Plastik and Keramik styles do not show in the menus. The versions of the packages are exactly the same between the working 15.0 fresh install box and this box. The only styles shown available are CDE, Windows 95, Platinum and SGI (yuk). None of the core KDE widget styles are listed in Appearance->Style. kdeglobals still has my widgetStyle=keramik, but it displays as CDE (first in shown list I guess) The library files are all there: $ find . -type f -name "*keramik*" ./share/apps/kwin/keramik.desktop ./share/apps/kstyle/themes/keramik.themerc ./share/doc/HTML/en/krec/krec-keramik.png ./lib64/kde3/kwin3_keramik.so ./lib64/kde3/kwin_keramik_config.so ./lib64/kde3/kwin3_keramik.la ./lib64/kde3/kwin_keramik_config.la ./lib64/kde3/plugins/styles/keramik.so ./lib64/kde3/plugins/styles/keramik.la ./lib64/kde3/kstyle_keramik_config.so ./lib64/kde3/kstyle_keramik_config.la I have run kbuildsycoca --noincremental to eliminate a cache issue and restarted the desktop, no joy.... So where has my LibreOffice config gone and where have the default styles gone? Any thoughts/guesses? -- David C.

[opensuse] Baloo bug
by James Knott 20 Nov '19

20 Nov '19

On 15.1/KDE, there has long been a bug where on desktop startup, I get an error "Baloo File Indexing Daemon closed unexpectedly". I recall seeing some discussion about that here and it was being worked on. This "feature" has now appeared on a system running 15.0. Is there anything happening with this? I don't see any mention about this issue in bugzilla. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

Hello: How can I change the color of the tick marks (arrows) in openSUSE Leap 15.1 yast2 package manager? Current pale green marks are very hard to see, especially if the item has the blue highlight. Here are two images with tick mark on and off: off: https://susepaste.org/45010425 on: https://susepaste.org/40197140 Thanks, Istvan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] A slightly complicated permission problem with kvm/libvirt and an existing disk with images
by stakanov 19 Nov '19

19 Nov '19

Hello to all. I had to reinstall my TW these days. I have a separate disc mounted as /kvmimages where I hold the images of the OS. When I check, all is O.K.. The images are effectively present and they are owned by root:root. Now my user is called entropy. Entropy is member of the groups kvm and libvirt. As a matter of fact, he can start and connect kvm/qemu and then you can choose "new" - virtual machine - choose from existing images. When I try to do so, unfortunately I do not see anything because there seems to be a permission problem. This puzzles me, because while being entropy member of kvm/qemu he should be able to read them, even when owned by root. Am I mistaken? In this setup (see above) and respecting the security issue of not wanting this /kvmstorage be world readable, what permission do I have to set to / kvmstorage in order to be able as "entropy" to import the existing images. Thank you. P.S. PAM solutions are also highly welcome (as long as you are verbose enough and I shall be able to understand them fully). _________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________ Ihre E-Mail-Postf�cher sicher & zentral an einem Ort.

[opensuse] disable hibernation--followup
by Doug McGarrett 19 Nov '19

19 Nov '19

Apparently google doesn't allow attachments with a .com extension. And rebooting Windows without shutting off does NOT work in a version I got with a new computer last May or June. Anyway, it's easy enough to just write the words here: Right-click the START button and choose Windows Powershell (admin): you see a prompt like this: PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> to that, add a command, as shown: PS C: \WINDOWS\system32> powercfg.exe /h off That's all there is to it. It's now permanently off. If you want to turn it back on again, substitute the word on after the /h. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Disable Windows hibernation--this one works!
by Doug McGarrett 17 Nov '19

17 Nov '19

[somewhat OT, but useful] When you disable Windows hibernation, you can then, using File Manager Super User, copy a file and paste it in a Windows directory. (There has been a lot of misinformation about this, but a file I just received today (from a Windows forum) tells you oaw: (see attachment) This allows you to download some Windows app while you're in Linux and paste it directly into a Windows directory.

[opensuse] syntax to download opensuse metalink4 with aria2c
by stakanov 16 Nov '19

16 Nov '19

I am getting stupid with the aria2c syntax. I did write aria2c --check-integrity=true --max-connection-per-server=4 --dir=/home/ entropia/Downloads M=https://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/iso/openSUSE-Tumbleweed-DVD-x86_… But it fails saying: 11/16 16:05:09 [NOTICE] Download GID#412df6dcfe401aab not complete: Riepilogo scaricamenti: gid |stat|avg speed |path/URI ======+====+=========== +======================================================= 412df6|ERR | n/a|n/a Legenda degli stati: Errore. What am I doing wrong? I tried to set also x=1 (or max-connection-per- server=1) but nothing changes. What am I doing wrong. 我是太郁闷了！！！！ _________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________ Ihre E-Mail-Postf�cher sicher & zentral an einem Ort.
