[opensuse] usage of gpm in terminal (TW)
by stakanov 05 Nov '19

05 Nov '19

The program gpm should allow me to use the mouse to copy and paste in a console session (ttyn to be clear, eg. tty2). When I try to use it in TW I am told that it is in sbin and requires sudo. Which I looked up and this has been explained for security reasons. The man page speaks about the x-server but does not mention if the x-server has to be started manually. But if I am running on tty7 a KDE desktop session, shouldn't the xserver already be running? I tried with sudo and with su - but both go through without complain and ... nothing happens. (sudo gmp) I tried to use the mouse after the command but this does not seem to work. Do I think wrongly or is there a way to use gpm in specific way to achieve this in TW? (This is mainly for learning reasons, since a text, that I am using currently, mentions the program in this usage). Thank you. _________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________ Ihre E-Mail-Postf�cher sicher & zentral an einem Ort.

[opensuse] Leap 15.0 after zypper dup from 42.3 - usb mouse just dies?
by David C. Rankin 05 Nov '19

05 Nov '19

All, Has anyone had a problem with a usb mouse just quitting? I have had this happen twice in the past hour. It's a simple standard MS 3-button mouse. Suddenly the lights just go out and it's dead. (touchpad still works) Restart and the mouse is back. This has never happened before. Has anybody seen anything similar? Checking the log I see: Nov 04 20:37:07 wizard kernel: usb 2-2: USB disconnect, device number 2 Nov 04 20:37:07 wizard kernel: usb 2-2: new low-speed USB device number 3 using xhci_hcd Nov 04 20:37:08 wizard kernel: usb 2-2: device descriptor read/64, error -71 Nov 04 20:37:08 wizard kernel: usb 2-2: device descriptor read/64, error -71 Nov 04 20:37:08 wizard kernel: usb 2-2: new low-speed USB device number 4 using xhci_hcd Nov 04 20:37:08 wizard kernel: usb 2-2: device descriptor read/64, error -71 Nov 04 20:37:08 wizard kernel: usb 2-2: device descriptor read/64, error -71 Nov 04 20:37:08 wizard kernel: usb usb2-port2: attempt power cycle Nov 04 20:37:09 wizard kernel: usb 2-2: new low-speed USB device number 5 using xhci_hcd Nov 04 20:37:09 wizard kernel: usb 2-2: Device not responding to setup address.

[opensuse] zypper dup lost gpgkey from 42.3?
by David C. Rankin 04 Nov '19

04 Nov '19

All, After my first zypper dup, there are some strange side-effects I'm trying to chase down. One appeared when trying to reply to Carlos on this list. Tbird reported it could not find my secret key to sign the reply? Huh? Sure enough, checking my list of keys after zypper dup clearing shows my most recently added gpg key was gone. I have 6 keys, but after zypper dup only 5 remain. The missing key was the one that is automatically chosen to sign mails to this list when the senders message is signed (I've signed hundreds of messages to the list with it). But after update, only the following remained: gpg2 --list-secret-keys /home/david/.gnupg/pubring.gpg ------------------------------ sec dsa1024 2007-08-17 [SC] <snip> sec dsa1024 2007-03-22 [SCA] <snip> sec dsa1024 2007-10-15 [SC] <snip> sec dsa2048 2011-11-12 [SC] <snip> sec rsa2048 2017-02-24 [SC] <snip> The last key added in 42.3... sec rsa2048 2017-05-22 [SC] was simply gone. To restore the key, I had to re-import the key from a backup (thank God I saved one): gpg --import ~/cnf/gnupg/gpgseckeys <snip> gpg: key xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx: secret key imported gpg: Total number processed: 6 gpg: unchanged: 6 gpg: secret keys read: 6 gpg: secret keys imported: 1 gpg: secret keys unchanged: 5 What in the zypper dup process from 42.3 to 15.0 could cause the last key add in 42.3 to be lost? -- David C.

[opensuse] aMule 2.3.3 from packman repo in openSUSE Leap 15.1
by Istvan Gabor 04 Nov '19

04 Nov '19

Hello: I asked this on the packman mailing list but had not got an answer. I installed aMule-2.3.2.20181119.20afd75fa-lp151.2.1.x86_64.rpm (downloaded from https://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/linux/packman/suse/openSUSE_Leap_15.1/Extra/x86_64/) in openSUSE Leap 15.1. After starting aMule in a few minutes it uses 100% CPU and hangs the computer. I must press the reset button because the computer becomes unresponsive. This make this aMule version unusable for me. The same occurs when using updated packman package aMule-2.3.2.20190827.2a1b09233-lp151.1.2.x86_64 Any idea, how to fix it, or why this occurs?

[opensuse] users group membership
by Istvan Gabor 03 Nov '19

03 Nov '19

Hello: In recent openSUSE versions users are not added to "users" group in /etc/group file (and in YaST they are not marked as members of "users" group). If I remember correctly in openSUSE 9.x and 10.x users were added to "users" group. How is it set that users belong to "users" group? Why isn't it necessary to add users to "users" group?

[opensuse] zypper dup 42.3 -> 15.0 loses all LibreOffice Templates/Settings, KDE Plastic/Keramik styles not available?
by David C. Rankin 03 Nov '19

03 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? ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 2 other notes ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ../repositories/X11:Utilities is not present for 15.0 (it is there for 15.1 and 15.2) which is where the rdesktop package comes from. (there is no kdesktop for 15.0 in OSS or Update -- but there is one for 15.1) There is a dependency for the 15.1 package from update "pkgconfig(oa)" that the normal pkgconfig-devel for 15 will not satisfy. Where is an rdesktop rpm for 15.0? Also, IMHO adding --allow-vendor-change as part of a zypper dup is a bad idea... -- David C.

[opensuse] imagemagick convert
by David C. Rankin 01 Nov '19

01 Nov '19

Wow!, ImageMagick is now crippled by default. You have to change security policy to convert a .pdf to a .jpg. I attempted to convert: $ convert 20191030_Gohmert.pdf -resize 151 -quality 90 -background white 20191030_Gohmert_thumb.png convert: not authorized `20191030_Gohmert.pdf' @ error/constitute.c/ReadImage/464. convert: no images defined `20191030_Gohmert_thumb.jpg' @ error/convert.c/ConvertImageCommand/3149. What? I'm not authorized to use convert?? Sadly, it seems that is so: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/42928765/convertnot-authorized-aaaa-err… Changing the security policy file and I can now use it. Do we really want to ship a broken imagemagick by default? -- David C.

[opensuse] Discontinuation Notice on 15.0 - No longer plan to support it until 16.0 released?
by David C. Rankin 01 Nov '19

01 Nov '19

All, Just for clarification, in an earlier thread on this list, the plan (likely) was to support 15.0 with updates until the release of 16.0. On the Security and Announce lists, Marcus gave Advance Notice of discontinuation of 15.0 at the end of November. It is no longer the plan to extend 15.0 until 16.0 is release? As it is, that will leave 15.1 as the only release, 15.2 isn't scheduled for release until May?? -- David C.
