[opensuse] how do I disable snapper?
by Mathias Homann 13 Jul '19

13 Jul '19

Hi, yes, I know. I'm a heretic. How do I disable snapper completely? ...why? I am running 5 systems running Leap 15.0, and one VM running tumbleweed. The tumbleweed VM is the only one actually using BTRFS (and I'll have something to say about that later). So on my actual "production" systems, all I get from snapper are log entries telling me that / is not btrfs - which I just happen to know already. On the TW VM, I just had a "zypper up" die on me with out of disk space - snapper snapshots accounting for over half of the filesystem's space (more than 10G). So here I am thinking "maybe these snapshots are a bad idea on a linux flavor that gets almost completely reinstalled sometimes more than once per week?" (tumbleweed snapshots...) So then I'm thinking "having a pre and a post snapshot after every single update doesn't put much trust in those updates at all". So let me ask again - how can I get rid of snapper? Uninstalling stuff only makes it come back through dependencies... cheers MH -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

by David C. Rankin 12 Jul '19

All, Just a check, I'm trying to install packages on 15.0 and after 10 minutes, I'm still waiting for the last 2 package downloads to start. The first one took ages to start and then trickled down at ....[done (83 B/s)] My old 1200 baud modem did better than than with z-modem?? -- David C.

[opensuse] RIP 42.3 - damn good release.
by David C. Rankin 12 Jul '19

12 Jul '19

All, Another end-of-life has come to pass. 42.3 joins 13.1, 11.4, 11.0 (minus the KDE 4.0.4a mess), 10.3, 10.0, 9.2 Pro, 9.0 Pro, 8.2 Pro, 8.0 Pro, 7.2 Pro, and 7.0 Pro in a long line of good releases. (others will remember earlier, but the (Air) release was my first, Mandy before then and DSL) So now what to do?? 15.0 end-of-life is scheduled for November, 15.1 is scheduled for November 2020, but I would miss trying a zypper dup. So many choices... So is a change of repo versions to 15.0 and a: zypper dup --download-in-advance a good path for now? -- David C.

[opensuse] Lost sound output
by Doug McGarrett 11 Jul '19

Had sound. After listening to a couple of songs on Youtube, could not hear any sound anymore. How can I troubleshoot this, please? Thanx--doug (I hope this is not going out in html. Tried to tell Thunderbird to send any messages to opensuse in plain text.) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] video editing
by ken 11 Jul '19

11 Jul '19

Yeah, I've looked on the web and found reviews on linux software for video editing, but what do the people here find works easily and glitchless on opensuse? Most important is the ability to cut and move clips. Doing resolves would be nice too, as would throwing text and images on top of existing footage. Big thanks. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] How can I stop the radio in Kodi?
by Carlos E. R. 11 Jul '19

11 Jul '19

Hi, Using Kodi18.3 in openSUSE Leap 15.0, and addon "Radio" from Tristan Fischer. I don't know how to stop the radio playing. I can pause it with the space bar, but that's it. To stop it I exit Kodi entirely and restart it. I found two stations I liked (one of them stopped working). I set both as favourites, so that I can start them from the "favourites" main menu. But with the update to Kodi 18 the buttons to handle the "radio" (internet radio) disappeared. <https://kodi.wiki/view/Add-on:Radio> -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.0 x86_64 at Telcontar)

System: Tumbleweed: Between youtube searches, something happened and I can no longer get any sound out of the machine. Could someone suggest a fix? I like to search the web for music and listen to it on the computer.

[opensuse] Micro Focus Divorce Complete? Who's SuSE dating now?
by David C. Rankin 10 Jul '19

10 Jul '19

https://www.theregister.co.uk/2019/07/09/micro_focus_licensing_revenue_shri… "Micro Focus has also reported the separation of German Linux vendor SUSE – which was acquired by a private equity fund for $2.5bn last year – went off without a hitch, with $1.7bn profit on disposal, and $1.8bn returned to shareholders in May 2019. "Through effective investment and management of the SUSE asset, from being 20 per cent of total revenues of the Attachmate Group when acquired by Micro Focus in November 2014 for $2.3bn, we achieved a total cash consideration of $2.5bn for the SUSE asset alone just four years later," said Micro Focus CEO Stephen Murdoch, who was appointed in March 2018." OK, So after the divorce SuSE dating now? Is she single? -- David C.

[opensuse] CUPS with no login available
by Jeffrey L. Taylor 10 Jul '19

10 Jul '19

I've done a clean install of Leap 15.1 (previous 43.2). The CUPS interface is available in the browser. Clicking on "Add Printer" goes to a screen saying login is required. I don't see any login screen or link. What needs to change? TIA, Jeffrey -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
