[opensuse] Major reaction delays in icewm with nm-applet
by Mikhail Ramendik 16 Jun '19

16 Jun '19

Hello, I have installed OpenSUSE 15.1 on a laptop with an AMD A6 APU. I installed the basic X Window setup with IceWM. But I need some way to manage the Wi-Fi, so I started nm-applet. But with nm-applet running I am seeing major delays in reaction to keyboard presses and clicks, to the degree of a minute or more. Whether I drag windows, type something into anything, etc etc. The mouse does move but delays make the system unusable. So I need to troubleshoot and fix this issue. Or else I need to replace nm-applet with something else that would run under icewm and give me a tray with wi-fi management. I would appreciate help in either task. -- Yours, Mikhail Ramendik Unless explicitly stated, all opinions in my mail are my own and do not reflect the views of any organization -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] cups -> ps !level! -> faxprinter
by Simon Becherer 15 Jun '19

15 Jun '19

Hi, in short words: i need help to find out how cups sets (internal inside his filter queue) the postscript-level: issue: difference in printing on 2 "normaly identical" systems with same ppd-files: ========================================================================= i have 2 tumbleweed x86-64 machines, same snapshoot, same network. one was updated from older opensuse versions to tumbleweed (=laptop), other (desktop) setup direct (about 2 years in past) to tumbleweed. i have 4 network-printers installed and cups-pdf: 2 qmsminolta one brother-mfc-7460dn and this brother also as fax-printer. i am able to print to all printers with both machines except the fax-printer reacts difference. the fax printer will fax-and-on-the-receifing-fax-machine print also with both machines. =============================================================== BUT withe the laptop text is only shown as empty squares. =============================================================== here is what i found out / how i installed: i have had printer installed only at the desktop machine: i set up the brother mfc with the packages: printer: mfc7460dnlpr-2.1.0-1.i386.rpm cupswrapperMFC7460DN-2.0.4-2.i386.rpm and fax: brmfcfaxlpd-1.0.0-1.i386.rpm brmfcfaxcups-1.0.0-1.i386.rpm from brother homepage. up to sometimes after summer last year after a update from libreoffice 5.x to 6? (because they changes something at the behavior the file: /home/mymachine/.config/libreoffice/4/user/psprint/psprint.conf i have to patch 2 files: usr/share/cups/model/brfax_cups.ppd etc/cups/ppd/brfax_cups.ppd usr/lib/cups/filter/brfaxfilter according to https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=89996 now fax from libreoffice worked fine again. ----------------------------------------------- last week i set up all printers in the laptop (it has never had to print before). for this i installed the packages above and patched the files. all printing is fine, faxing will fax, but text when faxing is only empty sqares. then i copied all files including subdirectory's from DESKTOP to LAPTOP: /etc/cups/..... /usr/share/cups/...... /usr/lib/cups /usr/local/brother/..... no difference. then i hacked a little inside the file: /usr/lib/cups/filter/brfaxfilter set there the loglevel to 4 and did not delete the INPUT_TEMP_PS file. the input file is pdf, generated from libreoffice, is identical. (this could be seen when you have to put in faxnumber) in /tmp) but then cups generate a ps file for the queue which will later in the queue translated to the printer specific fax-format and this PS-file is on both machines different: (the input_tmp_ps file): ---- input postscript file ---- (on DESKTOP working OK) %!PS-Adobe-3.0 %Produced by poppler pdftops version: 0.72.0 (http://poppler.freedesktop.org) %%Creator: LibreOffice 6.2.3.2 %%LanguageLevel: 3 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! %%DocumentSuppliedResources: (atend) %%DocumentMedia: A4 595 842 0 () () %%For: (simon) %%Title: (4378) %RBINumCopies: 1 %%Pages: (atend) %%BoundingBox: (atend) %%EndComments %%BeginProlog ...snip..... ============================================================== ---- input postscript file ---- (on LAPTOP not working) %!PS-Adobe-3.0 %Produced by poppler pdftops version: 0.72.0 (http://poppler.freedesktop.org) %%Creator: LibreOffice 6.2.3.2 %%LanguageLevel: 2 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! %%DocumentSuppliedResources: (atend) %%DocumentMedia: A4 595 842 0 () () %%For: (simon) %%Title: (4378) %RBINumCopies: 1 %%Pages: (atend) %%BoundingBox: (atend) %%EndComments %%BeginProlog =========================================== i am not sure if the ps-level is the real problem with the missing chars, but its the first difference i found, so: i checked that pstopdf and pstops is from same repo, i know the laptop has addition the latex packages installed. both files are on both machines identical /usr/bin/... (which pstops and which pdftops shows this path in both machines) i tried in printer dialog from libreoffice set the language (who is for both machines set to "automatic pdf) to ps-level3, no difference i checked inside the users for cups files, could not find the .cups subdir i set up a new user on laptop, no difference i tried to use different charsets in libreoffice: liberation-serif and times-new-roman (fetchmsfonts are installed on both machines) - no difference i take again a look inside both machines ppd files: *cupsFilter: "application/vnd.cups-postscript 0 brfaxfilter" *%==== Basic Device Capabilities ============= *LanguageLevel: "3" ====================================== so where to the hell is something who tell the laptop to use ps-level 2 ????????????????????? for processing this cups filter queue ????? i am out of ideas simoN -- www.becherer.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Laptop experience
by Roger Oberholtzer 14 Jun '19

14 Jun '19

I'm considering getting a Dell XPS 13 (9380) to run Tumbleweed. Although it can be bought with Ubuntu, which implies decent Linux compatibility, I'm curious if anyone has experience running Tumbleweed on this computer? It will probably be delivered with Windows 10 as that is the most common model in Sweden. I won't run Ubuntu anyway. I recall someone saying that the Windows license is in the BIOS (or whatever the comparable place is called these days), and that Windows can get the license from there. Meaning that I might be able to install Windows in VirtualBox and the delivered license be used. (VB would pass this info on?) That's nor a requirement. Just curious if I got that right. -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Boost on Tumbleweed
by Roger Oberholtzer 13 Jun '19

13 Jun '19

Mysteriously, the c++ Boost libraries are not built for Tumbleweed https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/devel%3Alibraries%3Ac_c%2B%2B/boost… Should one just add Factory repo? I try not to mix these things... I see that it has been done for 1.66 by a user. I don't know if the build works. But it builds. https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home%3Acshnick/boost-static-devel Anyone know why it's not built for Tumbleweed? -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Trying to create a new virtual 15.1 machine under virtualbox hangs
by Carlos E. R. 12 Jun '19

12 Jun '19

Hi, Trying to create a new virtual 15.1 machine under vmware hangs when it gets to the phase "System Role". I selected "Generic Desktop" and it hangs with 100% CPU load (seen on the host) on its single core. Remote repos were enabled. The machine has 1GB ram assigned (the default), I'll try 2 GB. [...] Yes, it works. So Leap 15.1 doesn't install with the default 1 GB RAM. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.0 x86_64 at Telcontar)

[opensuse] Trying to use aria2c instead of wget to download a pattern of files from a site
by Carlos E. R. 11 Jun '19

11 Jun '19

Ok, the goal is to download these patterns: "kernel*rpm" "nfs-kernel*rpm" "virtualbox*rpm" from "http://download.opensuse.org/update/leap/15.1/oss/x86_64/" The advantage with aria2c is that it talks to the MirrorBrain and downloads from several severs at max speed. The problem is that aria2c doesn't do recursive or pattern listing of the site. I mean, that I would have to download the index.html file and parse it to obtain the exact names to then feed aria2c. That is too much for me. Somebody has done this before? -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from openSUSE 15.0 (Legolas))

[opensuse] How can I deactivate Polari and pidgin?
by Carlos E. R. 11 Jun '19

11 Jun '19

Hi, One day I tried Polari, did not like it, and exited. But the system tries to start it it continuously: <3.6> 2019-06-11 00:29:30 Telcontar dbus-daemon 4312 - - [session uid=1000 pid=4312] Activating service name='org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Client.Polari' requested by ':1.84' (uid=1000 pid=5224 comm="/usr/lib/mission-control-5 ") <3.6> 2019-06-11 00:29:30 Telcontar dbus-daemon 4312 - - [session uid=1000 pid=4312] Activated service 'org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Client.Polari' failed: Failed to execute program org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Client.Polari: No such file or directory I had to do: mv /usr/bin/polari /usr/bin/polari.no to stop it running, but as you see something tries to start it again for days and days. Not finding it, the system tried to run /usr/bin/pidgin, which I also had to rename as /usr/bin/pidgin.no. Or the other way round, I do not remember which order I tried them, and now they refuse to cease starting. Unless I rename them to *.no, they start and impede empathy from connecting, because they register my nick first. I use XFCE on Leap 15.0.

[opensuse] glibc version
by Roger Oberholtzer 11 Jun '19

11 Jun '19

I have an openSUSE 42.3 system on which I am trying to run some libraries compiled for Ubuntu. They are for Z+F lasers (https://www.zf-laser.com/Home.91.0.html?&L=1), not that this is important. But they are starting to add Linux support for their devices. Generally, lots of things work. The only issue is that some of the libraries want a newer version of glibc. openSUSE 42.3 uses 2.22, and these libraries want 2.27. I know that glibc supports various versions at the same time. I guess it is part of the install. That is, IIUC, version 2.22 supports that release, as well as some earlier versions. One does not have different versions of the RPM installed. I think I know the answer to this, but is it possible to update glibc to version 2.27 on openSUSE 42.3? I'm okay if it is in some parallel directory that only these libraries/binaries know about. Has anyone done this kind of thing? -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
