I am still using a GTX 450 w/o any problem and heavily working graphics images, driver: NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-390.129.run never got a msg about missing features or too old. but yes, using the "hard way" install with dkms. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Setting Chromium flags via Plasma app launcher
by Oleksii Vilchanskyi 09 Sep '19

09 Sep '19

I cannot set Chromium flags in a way so that when I press the icon "Web Browser (subtitle: Chromium)" in Plasma Application Launcher they actually are applied onto the application. What I have tried: Attempt 1: Context menu -> Edit application -> application -> command -> "chromium --disable-font-subpixel-positioning %u" Attempt 2: Context menu -> Edit application -> application -> command -> "chromium %u --disable-font-subpixel-positioning" Attempt 3: Context menu -> Edit application -> application -> advanced options -> run in terminal -> terminal options -> "--disable-font-subpixel-positioning" None of it works. This is insane. What does work: $ export CHROMIUM_USER_FLAGS="--disable-font-subpixel-positioning" $ chromium&| If you look at /usr/bin/chromium, you'll see why it works. Even when I export this variable in user's zshrc (yes I did relogin) and "run in terminal" is ticked, the envvar is _still_ ignored. Makes me wonder under which user the application launcher is launching applications. So, how do I make it work in the application launcher?

[opensuse] leap 15.1 - unable to stat pan - GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name news.pan.NZB was not provided by any .service files
by Per Jessen 09 Sep '19

09 Sep '19

After upgrading (I believe), pan has become faulty, see $SUBJ. Which upgrade I cannot say, except that pan worked in May this year. I've googled $SUBJ, and seen some suggestions that removing ~/.pan2/tasks.nzb would alleviate the problem, but it did not. I am hesitant about removing ~/.pan2 completely, I'd like to keep my settings. Any other suggestions? thanks Per -- Per Jessen, Zürich (18.1°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - your free DNS host, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[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] How to permanently disable apache2-mod_php7?
by Bjoern Voigt 07 Sep '19

07 Sep '19

Since I use PHP7-FPM, I do not need the Apache/PHP module apache2-mod_php7. But there are some dependencies to apache2-mod_php7, so I get apache2-mod_php7 automatically: # rpm -e --test apache2-mod_php7 error: Failed dependencies: apache2-mod_php7 is needed by (installed) mythweb-29-1.2.noarch mod_php_any >= 7.0.0 is needed by (installed) nextcloud-16.0.4-81.1.noarch mod_php_any < 7.4.0 is needed by (installed) nextcloud-16.0.4-81.1.noarch I installed apache2-mod_php7 and disabled it with "a2dismod php7". Unfortunately the RPM postinstall script re-enables apache2-mod_php7 after every update of this package. # rpm -q --scripts apache2-mod_php7 #some distro versions does not have this tool. if [ -x /usr/sbin/a2enmod ]; then if a2enmod -q php5 && ! a2enmod -q php7; then a2dismod php5 a2enmod php7 fi fi [...] My work-around is this: # zypper dup; a2dismod php7 Are there better solutions?

[opensuse] LibreOffice bad cursor positioning problem
by Carlos E. R. 07 Sep '19

07 Sep '19

Hi, My Libre Office writer has developed a bad problem: when I type, the letters appear a position or two to the left of the cursor. With different fonts. This impedes editing badly. A restart of the program, that has been running for two days, restored normality. Another day I observed problems with styles: impossible to apply default style settings to paragraphs, so that different paragraphs got different appearance, despite having the same style, and I cleared direct formatting. I had to create a new document and copy over the paragraphs without style. What is going on? Using Leap 15.0 with default LO. Version: 6.2.5.2 Build ID: 20(Build:2) CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 4.12; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3; Locale: es-ES (en_US.UTF-8); UI-Language: en-US Calc: threaded -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

[opensuse] App:Geo - Unable to differentiate between two repos
by Chris Coutinho 06 Sep '19

06 Sep '19

Hello, I recently installed QGIS from the Application:Geo devel project on Tumbleweed, and in addition to the App:Geo repo I also subscribed to another seemingly identical repo: $ zypper lr -EU | awk -F'|' '{print $3 $7}' | grep 'opensuse.org' | rg -v home | sort Application:Geo http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Application:/Geo/openSUSE_Tumblew… Main Repository (NON-OSS) http://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/non-oss/ Main Repository (OSS) http://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/oss/ Main Update Repository http://download.opensuse.org/update/tumbleweed/ openSUSE:Tumbleweed http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/Tumbleweed/standard/ Software for Scientists and Engineers (openSUSE_Tumbleweed) http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/science/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/ Does anyone know what the 'openSUSE:Tumbleweed' repo is in this context, and why does App:Geo depend on it? I can't find it anywhere on the project page at build.opensuse.org, and looking at the contents it seems almost identical to the 'Main Repository (OSS)' Regards, Chris

[opensuse] Opening links from email - what browser?
by Carlos E. R. 06 Sep '19

06 Sep '19

Hi, Seeing that my Firefox was bloated with a large number of tabs, I created a new FF profile and started fresh, with just a few tabs. Fine. But there is a nuisance: I can not click on links in email (Thunderbird and others): they insist in opening the full "Default" FF profile with a ton of windows and tabs, instead of opening a new tab in the already running FF instance. How can I change that? XFCE, Leap 15.0 -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.0 x86_64 at Telcontar)
