[opensuse] cloning 15.0 to 15.1
by jdd＠dodin.org 23 Jul '19

23 Jul '19

Hello, I know some recent discussion where held in this list (I presume) on similar subject, but don't remember a solution. I have on a computer a working 15.0 install. I just (yesterday) install 15.1 on an other partition. is there a way to recover from the 15.0 a list of *main applications* (without libraries and dependencies) I could apply to the new 15.1? could be like the manually selected apps on 15.0, for example thanks jdd -- http://dodin.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] can't type ñ and í anymore
by Daniel Bauer 22 Jul '19

22 Jul '19

Fresh install of 15.1 with kde. Swiss German keyboard layout. Usually I could type <alt-gr>+~ and then <n> and got an ñ. Or <alt-gr>+´ and then i and got an í. Now I get ~n and ´i. In kde system setting I tried to add the "compose key" but that didn't help. How can I have this behavior back? -- Daniel Bauer photographer Basel Málaga https://www.patreon.com/danielbauer https://www.daniel-bauer.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] How to stop LibreOffice from starting on boot?
by James Knott 22 Jul '19

22 Jul '19

Since installing 15.1, I find LibreOffice is starting when I boot up. Is there any way to stop this? In the past, there was an Autostart folder, where this sort of thing may be happening, but that folder appears to be gone. How do I stop LibreOffice from starting, when I don't want it to? tnx jk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] xmodmap question
by Carlos E. R. 22 Jul '19

22 Jul '19

Some one knows the list of keys that can be used on "/etc/X11/Xmodmap"? The manual doesn't have it. Example: keysym Menu = Multi_key This makes the "keysym Menu" work as the compose key. The "keysym Menu" is the contextual menu key. In this photo: <https://images.app.goo.gl/ozmp4yAXagH2jyqP8> it is the one in the centre. I would like to know the name (for xmodmap file) of the key on the left, the Windows key. Or hopefully, the name of all keys... the name as xmodmap uses. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

[opensuse] good news: Kuickshow for 15.1
by Daniel Bauer 22 Jul '19

22 Jul '19

Asking on the forum lead to a solution thanks to the work of "Sauerland" in https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/536832-Anybody-able-to-compile-K… He gave me the right source packages and I could build an rpm from them, that I installed and now have Kuickshow running again. If you want Kuickshow, too (best simple photo viewer ever), read the whole forum thread till the end. -- Daniel Bauer photographer Basel Málaga https://www.patreon.com/danielbauer https://www.daniel-bauer.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Microsof is considering switching to rust. What about Linux? [possibly OT]
by Carlos E. R. 22 Jul '19

22 Jul '19

Apparently Microsoft is considering switching to Rust instead of C or C++, because it apparently avoids many memory related bugs that plague C/C++ programs. Firefox switched or is switching since 2016. I wonder if Linux at large will do a similar move. The kernel I doubt it. <https://www.zdnet.com/article/microsoft-to-explore-using-rust/> If you consider this too offtopic, you can reply on the offtopic mail list. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

[opensuse] Force dhcp client to request new address - Network Manager 15.0
by James Knott 21 Jul '19

21 Jul '19

Is there any way to force the DHCP client to do a full DHCP request, that is discover, offer, request, ack sequence? Currently, if the client runs within the existing lease time, then it just does a request, ack. I have tried dhclient -r, but that doesn't do it. If fact, a packet capture shows it doesn't do anything, not even send the DHCP release to the server. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] strange ntfs problem
by jdd＠dodin.org 21 Jul '19

21 Jul '19

Hello, I have a strange problem, I can probably fix it with windows, but I would like to make it with openSUSE :-) I use an IODD2541 device - the one that allows to load various dvd as dvd (virtual dvd reader). The isos have to be copied in a special folder _iso. yesterday, I tried to download the 15.1 iso, and may be it was not a good idea, I dl it right into the _iso folder. This device works only with ntfs file system :-( it was late, and I had to leave so shut down the computer. The download was obviously finished, said Firefox. BUT... today, from 15.0, I can write to the _iso folder, but the 15.1 iso file is broken. For what I understand, when I stopped the computer the file was dowloaded, but not copied to the final place. As you may know FF dl to a "part" file, then move it to the real one. Now I have a XX.iso.part file (3.8Gb), and I can do nothing with it, nor remove it nor rename it? I also have a dummy file (the iso without .part), 3.6Gb, not seen in dolphin but seen in an xterm with ?? in the attribute part I can do nothing with either file. Being NTFS, I'm unsure of what I can do thanks jdd -- http://dodin.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

by Josep M 20 Jul '19

I'm not able to get working kio-gdrive (version 1.2.5). I installed kio-gdrive, wrote GD account and password and went to Dolphin - Network - Google Drive - my account. Afther a click on my account, an "unknown error" appears in Dolphin. I'm doing well or should I do something more? I had not used kio-gdrive before.

[opensuse] libcryptopp package maintainer?
by Jeffrey Walton 20 Jul '19

20 Jul '19

Hi Everyone, We need to coordinate with the openSUSE package maintainer for libcryptopp. I don't have his name or email address. The openSUSE package page lists libcryptopp at https://software.opensuse.org/package/libcryptopp, but it does not provide other details like maintainer name and email address. Who is the package maintainer and what is his/her email address. Thanks in advance. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
