[opensuse] I suppose the old lists web addresses and post links are still working?

Hi list, I suppose the old lists web addresses and post links are still working? for the future as well? I have figured, that all the new stuff appears at the subpath /archives/ with this new system on the lists.opensuse.org server whereas the old stuff stays on the old addresses without that /archive/ in the URI e.g. old post and its web link: <https://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-support/2020-01/msg00123.html> new "opensuse-support" area on the webserver: <https://lists.opensuse.org/archives/list/support@lists.opensuse.org/> one can still reach the old style archives/places/webadresses e.g. if you know their style or have linked them and work them from elsewhere <https://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-support/> how about long term? a lot of places and articles link into the old addresses of course. is there going to be a redirect, rewriting system of the links on the webserver?

[opensuse] Simple html editor?
by Carlos E. R. 11 Nov '20

11 Nov '20

-----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] named/bind bug? multiple systems, 15.2, after reboot, named service wouldnt autostart
by cagsm 10 Nov '20

10 Nov '20

Hi list, already came across this oddity multiple times in recent weeks: named/bind bug? multiple systems, 15.2, after reboot, named service wouldnt autostart people at sites calling me that something doesnt work with their internet. turns out the named/bind resolver on the linux machine was not started up. the status initially within few minutes after a reboot would show e.g. sudo systemctl status named.service [sudo] password for root: ● named.service - Berkeley Internet Name Domain (DNS) Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/named.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled) Active: inactive (dead) Nov 09 00:24:41 tux systemd[1]: named.service: Job named.service/start deleted to break ordering cycle starting with nss-lookup.target/start I could then manually start up the named by sudo systemctl start named.service then showing it status as sudo systemctl status named.service ● named.service - Berkeley Internet Name Domain (DNS) Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/named.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled) Active: active (running) since Mon 2020-11-09 00:52:49 XYZT; 1s ago Process: 5010 ExecStart=/usr/sbin/named.init start (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Main PID: 5048 (named) Tasks: 20 CGroup: /system.slice/named.service └─5048 /usr/sbin/named -t /var/lib/named -u named ..... What happen? TY. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] How can I delete the hibernation image?
by Carlos E. R. 09 Nov '20

09 Nov '20

Hi, My computer is stuck for minutes trying to boot, apparently some problem with the hibernation image. I want to *delete* it. "noresume" is ignored or fails. I do not want to use mkswap, because that changes the UUID. Yes, I googled. Using Leap 15.1, booted an alternate partition. -- Cheers. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] disappointing SSD experiences
by Felix Miata 09 Nov '20

09 Nov '20

Both SSD 120G: PNY SSD7CS900-120-RB bought 2018-07-21, died March 2019, replaced under warranty. Mushkin MKNSSDSR120GB bought 2018-06.21, being replaced under warranty, died Monday during 'zypper dup' from 15.0 to 15.2 on 18000 MiB partition. I really have no idea the runtime on either, as I sometimes clone whole disks (both HDD & SSD) as backup routine, and sometimes only partitions. The Mushkin was in continuous service for about 10 months ~24/7 with noatime as a mount option, and fstrim run weekly. I have 2 other 120G SSDs, a Crucial BX500 and an Adata XPG, that have been in my clone rotation on this PC. These SSDs are MBR partitioned and used only for /boot 1.2G, /usr/local/ 4G, a 16G swap not often enabled (and never enabled since I raised RAM to 32G), and 5 18G OS partitions (13.1, 15.0, 15.1, 15.2 & TW, with 15.1 in majority of use since 2019-12-26). What I'm guessing is I've gotten on average well under 10 month's service out of each before failure, considering I only bought my first SSD 29 months ago. My /home, /tmp and other user data are on rotating rust RAID1. Has anyone here had worse experience? Any suggestions to do something differently? -- Evolution as taught in public schools, like religion, is based on faith, not on science. Team OS/2 ** Reg. Linux User #211409 ** a11y rocks!

[opensuse] opensuse - cursor freezes for seconds
by Daniel Bauer 09 Nov '20

09 Nov '20

Hi, since a few days sometimes (randomly, but more often than once an hour) the cursor freezes for some 5, 6, 10 seconds, and then it works again normally. The radio in the background still plays and also the gkrellm window actualizes normally. It worked perfectly until like a week before, but there have been several kernel-updates and at least with the last 2 updates the problem was there. It doesn't matter which program is open. The only thing I find in Xorg.0.log are several lines like [ 65010.332] (EE) client bug: timer event4 debounce short: offset negative (-10ms) This is OS 15.1, Kernel 4.12.14-lp151.28.75-default KDE 5.12.8 Qt 5.9.7 NVIDIA GF104 [Geforce GTX 460] Driver nouveau renderer NVC4 OpenGL-Version 4.3 (Compatibility Profile) Mesa 18.3.2 if you need other info please tell me (and best, how to find it ;-) ) Thanks, and have a nice day!

[opensuse] Editing a Word document with LO, entries in form fields are not saved ??
by Per Jessen 09 Nov '20

09 Nov '20

Last week I filled in a word document with some standard form fields, saved it and sent it off by email. It turns out most of my changes were not saved ??? It used to work, no problems. Since the last time I filled in this document, I upgraded my laptop to 15.2 .... sound familiar to anyone? I can provide the document if anyone would like to see it. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (7.8°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] How to connect two distant machines via openVPN while using KDE Plasma.
by Stakanov 07 Nov '20

07 Nov '20

I have following project: machine A (Italy) machine B (Germany) Both machines should share a private network via openVPN. The users should not be able to access data on reciprocal homedirectories if not otherwise set. The users shall share: online games, gajim chat (local that is from machine to machine), Knotes). For the beginning: experience of mine setting this up is zero. Permissions of home: So, first thing I would like to know what permissions I have to set for the home of the users. I suppose both users interacting have to have 700 as permission (umask 077)? Correct until now? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] unbound as recursive DNS server - question about setup.
by Stakanov 07 Nov '20

07 Nov '20

I tried to set up unbound with 15.2 but ran into serious difficulty. Is there any guideline on how to set up unbound as recursive dns server with e.g. 15.1 (I had to go back because of compatibility problems). What actually happened was that it claimed either syntax errors, or was not able to run without dnsmasq installed. Both should not be the case. In particular the QNAME Minimisation did not work after the install which induces me to belief that it was just still dnsmasq to be used.That is why without it, it did not work any more. So, if there is an official Leap howto on this, I would appreciate. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Click to open web browser - but which one
by Anton Aylward 06 Nov '20

06 Nov '20

My default web browser is Firefox. I normally click on a URL in a Thunderbird message to open that. Recently Medium.com have altered their style sheet so that there is conflict with the settings i have for my Firefox. Rather than try to battle this I open the medium.com pages in Chromium, which is set to strip out style. I get to read the article and see the illustrations without the 'dress-up'. Is there some way that I can set the Thunderbird to decide which web browser to use? Well, obviously, I could alter the T'Bird setting to use a shell script which makes that decision, but are there any other ways? -- “Reality is so complex, we must move away from dogma, whether it’s conspiracy theories or free-market,” -- James Glattfelder. http://jth.ch/jbg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
