[opensuse] zypper + snapper + rollback
by Roger Oberholtzer 30 Apr '19

30 Apr '19

I was doing an update of a Tumbleweed system yesterday and at some point the computer restarted. I did not see how far it had gotten in installing the updates. Now the system no longer has a GUI. X can be started. But kdeinit5 seems unhappy. Instead of fighting with whatever may have been borked in kde, I thought I would just undo the update. When running snapper, I only see the pre snapshot. Usually there is a post. My question is, how can I revert to what I had before the troublesome zypper update? In the description here (https://doc.opensuse.org/documentation/leap/reference/html/book.opensuse.re…) all the examples are when there is a pre and a post. What if I only have the pre? Before the pre made when the update failed, I only have the original snapshot. This is on a disk with limited space, so when things look good, I have to remove snapshots. Any help is greatly appreciated! -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] How do I enable plain "times" font in Libre Office?
by Carlos E. R. 29 Apr '19

29 Apr '19

Hi, In the past I used the plain "times" font in Libre Office, because it is one of the 14 internal fonts in the PDF format: <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PDF#Standard_Type_1_Fonts_(Standard_14_Fonts)> «Fourteen typefaces, known as the standard 14 fonts, have a special significance in PDF documents: Times (v3) (in regular, italic, bold, and bold italic) Courier (in regular, oblique, bold and bold oblique) Helvetica (v3) (in regular, oblique, bold and bold oblique) Symbol Zapf Dingbats These fonts are sometimes called the base fourteen fonts.[19] These fonts, or suitable substitute fonts with the same metrics, should be available in most PDF readers, but they are not guaranteed to be available in the reader, and may only display correctly if the system has them installed.[20] Fonts may be substituted if they are not embedded in a PDF.» The advantage is that texts created with these exact fonts do not need the PDF file to embed them, thus reducing the PDF file size. In the past, to get them I needed to enable "printer fonts" in LO. Now I do not see the setting (using LO in Leap 15.1 Beta). -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

[opensuse] digikam 6.1.0 segmentation fault at start (from KDE:Extra)
by Daniel Bauer 28 Apr '19

28 Apr '19

Hi, since the latest update digikam 6.1.0-196.1-x86_64 from obs://build.opensuse.org/KDE:Extra produces a segmentation fault immediately at start ("Speicherzugriffsfehler (Speicherabzug geschrieben)") According to Gilles Caulier from digikam "It sounds like something is not properly packaged" I cannot go back to the "official" Opensuse-Digikam (Version 5) because database schema has changed when upgrading to version 6 and there's no way back... The previous v6-version seems not available anymore. I am now using the appimage version, but I don't like it and it can only serve as a temporary workaround. Is the digikam-packager on this list? Where do I best report this error? Thanks for hints.

[opensuse] installing python from source
by George from the tribe 28 Apr '19

28 Apr '19

I want to set up a python virtual environment with a version of python that I have installed from source, independent of the repositories. The reason for this is that I am running tumbleweed on one pc, Leap 15.0 on another, and will plan to upgrade to Leap 15.2 on another when it is available. Tumbleweed gets the latest version of python that is available, and this last time it replaced all my 3.6 binaries with 3.7 binaries, so I want to avoid that in the future. I am working on a long term project, and I need to maintain a python environment that is independent of repository updates. So I figured I would do that with a virtual environment that is based on something I have installed from source. I am open to other ideas also. I tried installing python 3.7.2 in my Leap 15 laptop based on the guide at this URL: https://realpython.com/installing-python/#compiling-python-from-source That put the new python 3.7.2 into the directory /usr/local/bin instead of /usr/bin. Also, somehow it doesn't seem to pull in everything necessary. When I try to set up the virtual environment with the command virtualenv -p /usr/local/bin/python3.7 .smdellvenv it comes up with the error : > virtualenv -p /usr/local/bin/python3.7 .smdellvenv Running virtualenv with interpreter /usr/local/bin/python3.7 Could not find platform dependent libraries <exec_prefix> Consider setting $PYTHONHOME to <prefix>[:<exec_prefix>] Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/virtualenv.py", line 16, in <module> import base64 File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/base64.py", line 10, in <module> import struct File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/struct.py", line 13, in <module> from _struct import * ModuleNotFoundError: No module named '_struct' So I tried to change the PYTHONHOME variable like this: > export PYTHONHOME="/usr/local/bin/python3.7" Now, when I run the virtualenv command, this is what happens: > virtualenv -p /usr/local/bin/python3.7 .smdellvenv Fatal Python error: Py_Initialize: Unable to get the locale encoding ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'encodings' Current thread 0x00007f06c17f2540 (most recent call first): Aborted (core dumped) Anyone have any success with installing python from source? Do I need to build my own full set of packages, or perhaps download what is available on the build service? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[opensuse] Change an icon???
by James Knott 28 Apr '19

28 Apr '19

I have a PDF and a link to it, which I want to have a different icon for. I thought it used to be possible to change an icon for a file or link, but I don't seem to be able to. On the other hand, the folder containing the PDF has the appropriate icon, after I was able to change it. This is with openSUSE 15.0 & KDE. tnx jk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] hp-systray question.
by Carlos E. R. 27 Apr '19

27 Apr '19

Hi, I see in the log these two entries now and then: > 2019-04-27T14:45:25.816769+02:00 Elesar /hp-systray: hp-systray[21360]: error: option -s not recognized > 2019-04-27T14:45:27.660713+02:00 Elesar /hp-upgrade: hp-upgrade[21851]: error: HPLIP upgrade is disabled by openSUSE for security reasons, see https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=853405 - if you like to upgrade HPLIP, use an openSUSE software package manager like YaST or zypper. The second one I know why it is, no problem. My question is about the first one: "option -s not recognized". Who is using the option "-s"? I run "ps afx|less" to try find it. But what I find is: \_ /usr/bin/python3 /usr/bin/hp-systray -x \_ /usr/bin/python3 /usr/bin/hp-systray -x \_ /usr/bin/python3 /usr/bin/hp-systray -x So no, the -s option was not given or was given and then deleted. The caller is "xfce4-session". So I go to setup, Session and Startup, and sure enough, there is an entry to start the HP systray service. Correct. But I can not see its properties or edit it. So how can I find where that "-s" is written to remove it? I don't like noise in my logs. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

[opensuse] 15.1 Installation
by Mark Misulich 26 Apr '19

26 Apr '19

Hi, I'm not sure if this is the correct forum for 15.1, but since I don't know I thought I would give it a try. I'm trying to install 15.1 on a computer on the second hard drive. That is /dev/sdb. In the installation readout for booting, the mbr keeps on coming up as /dev/sdb. But my mbr is esconsced in /dev/sda. I can't find a way to change the installation to boot from the mbr in /dev/sda. Everything I have tried reports to me that the 15.1 installation won't boot. No surprise, it doesn't. Any ideas how to change this?

[opensuse] is "tracker" necessary?
by Daniel Bauer 26 Apr '19

26 Apr '19

Hi, since a recent update (OS 42.3), after booting my laptop all 8 processors run at 100%. After googling I found that it may be a program called tracker, and after I killed all it's processes (4 IIRC), all went back to normal. But after a new boot, the same started again. So I de-installed tracker with Yast. All seems fine, but I'd like to be sure: does my system need tracker for something or can I set tracker to taboo without any danger? Thanks!
