[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 30 Oct '20

30 Oct '20

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.

-----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?

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.

[opensuse] libreoffice, disable recent document list in start center
by Istvan Gabor 23 Oct '20

23 Oct '20

Hello: This applies to libreoffice 6.2.7.1 in openSUSE Leap 15.1. When I start libreoffice, a main window opens: start center (?). From the left side one can open files and start specific libreoffice programs (writer, calc, impress etc.). The right side shows the list of recent documents. I don't want recent documents list to be shown there. I don't want disable recent documents completely, they should still be listed in File/Recent Documents menu, I just don't want them to be listed in the program (start center) main window. I could find (by google search) how to disable recent documents completely (by changing picklistsize to 0) or disable thumbnails, but this is not what I want. I don't want even the names of recent documents listed there. Is it possible? How?

[opensuse] 15.2: simple local bind resolver does not resolve anything any more?
by cagsm 21 Oct '20

21 Oct '20

Apparently there was some bind (named) update last night or yesterday. Today my internet and routing works fine on 15.2, but a locally installed named (bind) does not resolve anything any more. I actually use it only in a very simple way, no zones defined or anything, just a kind of cache or resolver that talks to the root nameservers and going down the tree of nameservers to look up dns entries. journalctl -u named.service constantly shows messages about no valid RRSIG ... no valid signature found. I can not nslookup anything using this bind on 127.0.0.1 I suppose this has something got to do with DNSSEC or such stuff? how come a simple security update or patch suddenly activates such a harsh feature midstream in 15.2? or are some root anchors or whatever such stuff missing from the opensuse leap 15.2 update/patch package missing or something? I can nslookup fine using the ip address of my local broadband router of the ISP i use or with the help of outside resolvers/forwarders e.g. dns.google. or such services in the public. any quick remedy? thanks lots. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Automounting removable disks
by Roger Oberholtzer 21 Oct '20

21 Oct '20

A while back I posted a question about using /dev/disk/by-path to mount drives. I have udev rules to initiate a mount when a disk is inserted. My worry at the time was that the by-path values were not constant for a specific drive bay. I have since verified that these are constant and correct. Activity in a specific drive bay always has the same by-path value. I should be able to mount a disk in a specific drive bay at the same place. However, the drives are still not being mounted correctly. I am using udev. It seems that one must use systemd-mount when mounting drives in udev rules. So I am doing that. My udev rule runs a small script that lists where the by-path entry is pointing (e.g., sdm1) before the systemd-mount command runs. I can verify that the by-path entry is pointing to the correct sdX entry. However, the systemd-mount command mounts some other sdX, not the one it should - the one that is pointed to. It is also not the old value from a previous drive in that drive bay. It seems random. Or at least I have not seen a pattern. Sample udev rule (on one line in the rule file called 99-hydra-disk-array.rules): ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="block", ENV{ID_PATH}=="pci-0000:b3:00.0-sas-exp0x5003048020cc467f-phy5-lun-0", ENV{ID_PART_ENTRY_NUMBER}=="1", RUN+="/damount %E{ID_PATH}-part1 a 1" There are 24 rules, one for each drive bay, In this rule, the by-path is pci-0000:b3:00.0-sas-exp0x5003048020cc467f-phy5-lun-0, and I want partition 1. It should be mounted on /array/a1 Script it runs (/damount): #!/bin/sh DEV=$1 COL=$2 ROW=$3 DISK=$COL$ROW /usr/bin/mkdir -p /array/$DISK ls -l /dev/disk/by-path/$DEV >> /tmp/damount.log /usr/bin/systemd-mount --no-block /dev/disk/by-path/$DEV /array/$DISK # This does not work at all # mount /dev/disk/by-path/$DEV /array/$DISK I see in /tmp/damount.log that the by-path is pointing to a new sdx1 value. But it is some other sdx1 that is mounted. The commented mount command in the script is what one might think they could use. But in the udev rule, when it is used, nothing gets mounted. So we use systemd-mount This is on leap 15.1. I really do not know how to proceed. I can't see what I can do to make the mount command not mount what it is told to mount. The system journal shows the expected sdX value when the disk is inserted. But the mount is something else. I suspect some systemd issue. But where? Could there be some issue if one inserts multiple disks at the same time that confuses systemd-mount? The by-path and where it points is correct when multiple disks are inserted (as listed by the udev rule). So the confusion must be elsewhere. And all that's left is systemd-mount...
