The scripts are old and I have not used them in long time, so the will have to be adjusted/modified/corrected. Some of the comments are in Spanish, I can translate later if needed. <http://susepaste.org/48969830> Dated May 2002. Just produces a list of files to backup. <http://susepaste.org/96542719> Dated Oct 2002. # Do a backup of modified files belonging to rpms, # downloaded updates, and tgz to be compiled (from cer) # requires zisofs and patched mkisofs It creates a compressed copied tree of the files to backup, and an ISO ready to burn. <http://susepaste.org/97971710> Dated Jul 2003, but may be older. It will not work currently, it simply called an old YaST script that is no longer there. <http://susepaste.org/10226049> Dated 2006. Seems a most recent version of "bck.cpy", improved. This should be the one to look at. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.0 x86_64 at Telcontar)

(Right-click on the list, "Export this list ...") Any grouping that you can create - e.g., system, repository, group, pattern, status, search (including regular expressions and wild card), etc. Of course you would need a script to strip out the unwanted. --dg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Re-install of 15.1 - is there a way to load a list of formerly installed packages to get install parity from the very beginning?
by stakanov 23 Jul '19

23 Jul '19

Hello, for reasons of understanding which of the current bugs may be fruit of mixed settings or old age, I would like to re-install my laptop with 15.1. The only perplexity that creates me a lot of work every time is: how to get a complete list of all packages currently installed and force this list to be imported at install time (from usb with network repos activated). I would also like to know if it is possible to store the current repos and load them all at install time (like a txt file or similar). Any suggestions? Finally: is there a way to list all personalization of the system with a cli command (that is permissions or settings that are not default?)

[opensuse] okular bug?
by jdd＠dodin.org 23 Jul '19

23 Jul '19

Hello, I didn't write bug report since a long time and I get lost with bugzilla (no 15.0 in list?) by the way somebody may have seen this already before. I have to print mondial relay sticker to send a letter. I get a pdf file. Okular opens the file and display it correctly, but do not *print* bar code (visible on screen). One have to tick the option "rasterize first" in the print dialog. lpr <pdfname> works OK I can share the pdf privately, but not publicly as it have the client's address 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] 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
