[opensuse] libc segfaults attaching an iPad

by Dave Howorth

I just tried to attach an iPad to my openSUSE 15.0 system, via USB. I think I've done it before, but this time it fails. Dmesg has: [9787970.148053] usb 3-9: new high-speed USB device number 96 using xhci_hcd [9787970.302089] usb 3-9: New USB device found, idVendor=05ac, idProduct=12a2 [9787970.302091] usb 3-9: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 [9787970.302092] usb 3-9: Product: iPad [9787970.302093] usb 3-9: Manufacturer: Apple Inc.

[opensuse] Raid, Raid6, what file system for good fault tolerance?

by cagsm

Hi list, speaking about software raid, not hardware controller based. I am trying to go for some local OpenSuse machine and adding some storage to it. Was considering Raid6, and now reading about a bit and people left and right scaremongering about the larger the disks these days in the double digit terabyte capacities even, the more likely it is that during a reconstruction of a raid subsequent errors would occur. I would absolutely like to keep my data consistent, and I am not thinking about double digit terabytes either, would stick to 2TB or 4TB disks, with Raid6 thats at least 4 physical drives. Now I am wondering if it possible to use a good robust file system that can add some more parity or check blocks or redundancy on top of the hardware disks, to absolutely be able to always read my data. I can't add multiple machines or like those high availability stuff like clusters and what not I read about DRBD (Distributed Replicated Block Device), or maybe I am just too scared by those technical terms or consider myself to be just a simpleton and wanting to keep it rather simple. My use case here is also not constant availablity, when a disk needs to be replaced, so be it, but I don't want to lose my data that I can not ever read certain parts of it again or such stuff. The thing that came to my mind was, if there is some file systems that would add redundancy and robustness onto the mdraid system of the linux kernel? Anyone with some useful insights? Roughly speaking, I was considering some simple pcie esata interfaced controller card and an external case enclosure with esata port and portmulitplier stuff inside, that can present at least 4 physical disks as JBOD, just a bunch of disks, so that the Linux can seem them all separately. Speed and rebuild times are not my concern, but data persistence and data integrity. Not even number of physical disks, I could live with even one of those 8 bay device enclosures and cases that are out there on the market. Thanks for any help and hints. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Fw: [Bug 1128204] retext crashes with core dump

by Dave Howorth

Hmm, I just got this message from Atri, who I've seen looks at this list. I haven't migrated my bugzilla account because I don't want to continue to use the old account name. I just tried to respond and it wants details I cannot supply (I don't know what username/password are - I've never needed them - my browser supposedly knows them but apparently can't reproduce whatever information is required to respond to the 'migration portal') But more fundamentally, I don't use TW. I use Leap and I'm still on 15.0.

[opensuse] Simple html editor?

by Carlos E. R.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I have not done this in ages, so is there a simple html editor (WYSIWYG)? I think I used one long ago, blue something perhaps. My start menu suggests seamonkey composer, that's heavy. I just need descriptive text and clickable links. I know I can do this in plain text, but I wonder at something WYSIWYG. Similar to composer, but simpler/smaller. - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.

[opensuse] If you upgrade Firefox 68esr to 78esr - urlbar works like windows but doesn't fill select-buffer, can't downgrade

by David C. Rankin

All, A couple of notes if you are updating from Firefox 68esr to 78esr. (1) the urlbar will select the entire url on single-click (like windows), but the X "select-buffer" (that you can middle-mouse paste) is not filled. Further, mozilla removed: browser.urlbar.clickSelectsAll browser.urlbar.doubleClickSelectsAll So you cannot restore the normal Linux behavior. Links to bugs, discussions, etc.. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1285299 (the most frustrating part of this is you now have to try to triple-click which cancels the selection, then on double-click selects the *word* at the insertion point and then tries expand the selection to the paragraph -- as Gtk widgets go... which often fails depending on the triple-click timing) Note: this is still not a settled issue -- what to do about it is still under consideration, but falls under the category of -- if it wasn't broke to begin with -- don't fix it. The problem being that Linux doesn't select on single-click to prevent changing the select-buffer you have stored if you happen to click in the urlbar. The obvious non-Linux programmers though they would accommodate this by allowing the single-click without changing the select-buffer, but the result was to force an awkward triple-click if you do want to select the URL (which you do about 50% of the time) Progress... (2) your profile will be modified so you cannot downgrade back to 68esr. (this is frustrating, but you can force a downgrade by passing --allow-downgrade on the command line) https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/dedicated-profiles-firefox-installation (neither openSUSE or Wolfgang don't have a dog in this fight -- this is all mozilla) Most of you have probably already made the upgrade and have seen the behavior. -- David C.

[opensuse] Special file copy need

by Carlos E. R.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I have to copy some files from Linux to external media formatted as exfat. Some names have a colon, like: "chapter: 1" Several programs baulk saying "can not create file, no such file or directory". Is there some file browser that will "sanitize" names on the fly? "chapter_ 1" I can use krusader which will let me change the name of the destination file before starting, if I copy one by one. Maybe with krename... - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.

[opensuse] make libreoffice toolbar icon size smaller

by Istvan Gabor

Hello: My question applies to LibreOffice 6.2.7.1 in openSUSE Leap 15.1. I have set toolbar icon size to small in Tools -> Options -> View -> Toolbar Icon size. Still I find the icons too big, I would like to have even smaller icons. How can I? The icon style is the default Automatic (Tango).
