[opensuse] users group membership
by Istvan Gabor 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

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.
