[opensuse] Internet and LibreOffice connections very slow
by Jon Cosby 17 Oct '20

17 Oct '20

I was listening to a radio stream in Chromium yesterday and it started skipping. I switched to another station, and it took a long time to connect, but it played normally. All internet connections were slow after that. It took 10 seconds to connect to google.com. It takes a long time just to ping Google, like 13 seconds for 5 packets the first time. I assumed the issue was with my provider and did something else. I opened a text file I'd been editing earlier, and now it's taking 10 or 15 seconds to load. Same is happening for all texts and spreadsheets, unless I open them from recent documents in another file. Opening the files in Nautilus has this problem, too. Proxy is disabled in Firefox, Chromium and LibreOffice. All three are very slow to open and connect. I didn't do any updates or install software yesterday, or make system changes. It's strange, it was almost like it sputtered, and broke down.But how do I disable remote services in LibreOffice, and can somebody guess what would bring this on? I've got Leap 15.1, GNOME 3.26.2, LibreOffice 6.4.5. Jon Cosby -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Curious number in browser titles - Leap 15.2 KDE
by James Knott 16 Oct '20

16 Oct '20

I have noticed something curious in browsers. I often see a number in brackets, at the left end of the browser window title. For example, I currently have one window that says (1) Youtube. This is not the same as the duplicate window number, at the right end, but it does interfere with it. That number is not always there, but when it is present, the number may vary. It has been as high as 4. While I primarily see this with Firefox, I have also seen it with Seamonkey. Any idea what that number is for? tnx jk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Problem with rsync and hardlinks

[opensuse] eduroam on opensuse
by Wes James 14 Oct '20

14 Oct '20

I was talking to another linux user and they asked if I had xwininfo installed. I didn't, but installed it and now the eduroam script works in kde. What is in gnome that wasn't in kde for it to work?

[opensuse] got eduroam working
by Wes James 14 Oct '20

14 Oct '20

I was poking around on eduroam.org to get a clue about how to get eduroam working on opensuse. One of their pages went to some documentation for gnome. I have been using kde, so I installed the gnome desktop, logged in to gnome and tried the same script as before and it worked this time. Once I went through the initial setup, it now works in kde as it just needed to set up some certs and such with network manager.

[opensuse] I just found some thing about rsync I didn't know.
by Carlos E. R. 13 Oct '20

13 Oct '20

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, Many of us use rsync to copy files because it can be interrupted and it recovers where we left it. But there is one caveat: not the current file it is transmitting. I was sending a backup with partition images from one machine to another, and I interrupted it. Then I noticed that the directory shrinked in size: the 160000MiB file of which it had sent half of it, was deleted on interrupt, and will have to be sent in full again. Well, it makes sense, but I did not know. - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.

[opensuse] Can't get rid of additional address
by James Knott 11 Oct '20

11 Oct '20

I recently created an additional address for my NIC eth0, in Yast. While I was able to create it, I can't get rid of it. The delete button works until I leave and restart the LAN config in Yast. Here is what ifcfg-eth0 shows: BOOTPROTO='static' IPADDR='172.16.0.10/24' NETMASK='' NETWORK='' STARTMODE='auto' DHCLIENT_SET_DEFAULT_ROUTE='yes' IPADDR_1='10.0.0.1/0' LABEL_1='test' ZONE='home' MTU='0' As you can see, the test address 10.0.0.1/0 exists. How can I get rid of it? Do I have to use vi to delete those lines? tnx jk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] How to make dolphin save sftp password?
by Daniel Bauer 11 Oct '20

11 Oct '20

Hi, here on OS 15.1 I often use dolphin to connect via sftp to my servers. It asks me for the password, and then it remembers it until I log out of my local KDE or reboot the local machine. There is no check-box "remember password" or similar in the password dialog, only the field to enter it. I would like to have it saved in KWallet, and this is installed and running, but empty...
