[opensuse] 15.1 System freezes
by Daniel Bauer 24 Sep '19

24 Sep '19

Hello, My OS 15.1 desktop computer with nvidia goes crazy since yesterday. After two or three days without reboot the KDE desktop suddenly freezed. I had to reset per hardware button. After reboot I used zypper up to bring the system to the latest updates. Now it freezes from time to time: after some minutes of working (browsers, or email, or digikam) it gets unresponsive. First the mouse cursor doesn't move. After a minute or two the cursor moves a bit, but immediately freezes again. After a while the cursor disappears. The keyboard doesn't respond to anything. After a reboot (or if I log out and in again) the "greeting page" (the kde login page) showns scrambled: only a part, or artifacts, or a white screen with a black border - creatively changing each time. I can enter the password and hit enter and get the desktop. After a short while it freezes for a second and shows a message like "kde display restarted" (could not read it really, was shown too short). When clicking in the menu "log out" the question "log in out in 30 seconds" is shown but the two buttons below are not visible or scrambled. I can hit enter though. At the moment the system is in an unusable state. Where can I look for what happened? What to search for? What data can I provide here so that somebody can help me? Where/how do I find this data? Thanks for your help. I'll check mail when 15.1 allows...

[opensuse] Encrypted swap with random key no longer working in Leap-15.1?
by Josef Wolf 09 Sep '19

09 Sep '19

Hello, For many years, I am using encrypted swap partition with a random key to avoid typing the password at boot time. Now I reinstalled openSUSE Leap 15.1, and this no longer works. I always have to type the password when booting. This is well documented in crypttab(5) and I am using it like this: raven:/ # grep swap /etc/crypttab cr_ata-ST3250310AS_6RYB6W7W-part7 UUID=a71035e1-abe3-4cb0-bee9-af42787c40cf /dev/urandom swap raven:/ # Any ideas/suggestions how to track this down? -- Josef Wolf jw(a)raven.inka.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] is ubuntu better than opensuse 15.1?
by Daniel Bauer 05 Sep '19

05 Sep '19

Hi, unfortunately quite working 42.3 had to be replaced with 15.1 due to end of security updates which are important to me. Now, this system seems not to be able to handle my Nvidia GeForce GTX 460. It freezes all the time. If it doesn't freeze the desktop effects get switched off due to "restart of graphics". When I log out and in, the desktop icons spread somehow over the screen and I have to reorder them - each and every time. Bug reports are not seen, obviously. Problem is, that this is my working computer and since two days I simply cannot work with it. I know that Opensuse cuts functionality in each release since 13.x, but I didn't imagine that it simply would stop being usable at all. Now I have two possibilities: - buy another graphics card that will maybe work a year or two until OpenSuse decides to stop working with it, too. - install another operating system. Both possibilities are complicated. I am with openSuse since 20 years, and it has always bettered until the regression started from 13.x. I'd have to learn a new system. Windows is excluded, as it makes me sick. So could be ubuntu? A new graphics card is expensive (I need quite a lot of power). Also I don't have any idea which one. One that fulfills my needs on one side, and that is supported by OpenSuse which I think is not really made anymore for a graphic desktop, more for a pure console computer, server or the like. What do you recommend? Give it a try with ubuntu? Buy another graphics card? Which? -- 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] Flash is still used today
by Carlos E. R. 04 Sep '19

04 Sep '19

Incredible. I just hit a news site that requires flash from adobe, TODAY. :-( I'm using a new firefox instance, no plugins yet, so no flash support, I suppose. <https://cadenaser.com/emisora/2019/08/27/radio_cartagena/1566895744_214802.…> (no , I'm not asking how to add flash support... (yet)... just saying that today there are sites that still use it. I'm flabergasted) (Chrome plays it) -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.0 x86_64 at Telcontar)

[opensuse] YaST language confusion
by gumb 03 Sep '19

03 Sep '19

New install, Leap 15.1. Just getting basics set up. I generally use English (GB) for all system setup and desktop interface elements, with French added as a keyboard layout and/or for secondary language support. So after looking yesterday in YaST -> Software Management and viewing the Language tab, I scrolled down to fr and ticked 4 or 5 additional French packages, including yast2-trans-fr. Today when I start YaST, all the menus are in French. Ok, I can use it, but I prefer that it stays in English, for now at least. I just like to have French as a switchable standby for providing/receiving support, and/or for possible additional system users. So thinking it must be that yast2-trans-fr package I added which is responsible, I remove it again. When I start up YaST again, the menus are still in French, whereas the configuration options shown within each YaST category are in English for some and French for others. I've looked in the root home, in /etc and cannot find where this is configured. At the bottom of the file /etc/sysconfig/language, is a setting described as 'List of installed language supports, use by YaST2'. It is set as INSTALLED_LANGUAGES="en_GB" Everything else in the system is in English GB. Why is it overriding this in YaST, and where is this set? gumb -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Why does OpenSUSE Tumbleweed change XFCE?
by Markus Egg 02 Sep '19

02 Sep '19

Hello, I am running SuSE Tumbleweed on a desktop and on an older laptop (for test purposes). On both machines after the last zypper ref/dup/up cycle the complete XFCE desktop was changed, many of the settings were lost and the way how one can change e.g. the desktop background was changed in a way that it is more inconvenient. I do know that XFCE per se did not change, because on another Laptop with Ubuntu 18.04 the XFCE desktop and settings were the same after the last updates. So as an example: the conventient way to set XFCE background on Ubuntu was and is like shown in ConvenientDesktopSet.jpg The new way from SuSE Tumbleweed (last zypper ref/dup/up cycle yesterday, uname says "...5.2.10-1-default #1 SMP Sun Aug 25 17:33:34 UTC 2019..." ) is seen in warumallesandersSuSETumble_1.jpg warumallesandersSuSETumble_2.jpg : now you need 2 sub-windows for e.g. setting the background colors and you cannot set colors with decimal numbers for RGB or HSV, you have to do it in hex. :-/ I was moving to XFCE since KDE changed the way of virtual workspaces in an unusable manner, and now someone is starting to mess up XFCE. <rant on> Where did the message of "never change a runnning machine" go? <rant off> :-( And if it needs a change: Why not putting the "predefined color section" into the color selection window of ConvenientDesktopSet.jpg ?
