[opensuse] With 15.2 test builds, do we zypper dup to next build or zypper up?
by David C. Rankin 16 Mar '20

16 Mar '20

All, I should know this, but the old gray matter is showing signs of wear. If I install 15.2 for testing, and an additional test build is put out, can we zypper dup to the current testbuild or do we need to zypper up. IIRC it is dup, (but we will look before we Leap here -- no pun intended -- well, sort of...) -- David C.

[opensuse] Theme(s) for Thunderbird and Firefox
by Basil Chupin 11 Mar '20

11 Mar '20

A short while ago I saw Firefox on a Windows machine and was most impressed by seeing the pages BLACK with text and pix from websites displayed in their proper colours (ie as they normally appear on a "normal" FF with its all white background colour). Well, if you prefer not to have your eyes staring at a white background all the time then you can (in the Tools>Addons) the theme called DARK READER. Also, the same applies to Thunderbird -- you can have the same black background to look at which is more comfortable on the eyes. The theme fo TB is called DEEP DARK. FYI.

[opensuse] HP Device Manager
by Ken Schneider - openSUSE 10 Mar '20

10 Mar '20

I want to use HP Device Manager to set up my HP M277dw device that requires an HP driver but openSUSE has disabled the ability to install the driver from HP. This prevents me from setting up the printer with all of it's features and difficult to setup and use the scanner function. Does anyone have a work-around for installing the proper driver for this printer? Or how-to to undo a "feature" that paranoid people thinks is "unsafe in the HPlip package. -- Ken Schneider SuSe since Version 5.2, June 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

I think I read it when I purchased the enclosure (which btw costs like nothing.. but the cables do (these are on the way)). Unfortunately the thread is inconclusive. Most mention you need EMC server and dedicated os-hdds. But 2 people say, it did work for them without. I hope they are correct. One says, you have to configure using multipath. There is a detailed documentation, https://documentation.suse.com/sles/12-SP4/html/SLES-all/cha-multipath.html I hope it does apply for Leap 15.1, too. I am curious

[opensuse] Tumbleweed and NVIDIA's drivers
by Roger Oberholtzer 09 Mar '20

09 Mar '20

A couple weeks ago, an update of the kernel in Tumbleweed caused problems if one was using the NVIDIA drivers. I now find that I need to start using those drivers (NVIDIA GPU code that I need to use). Has the problem been resolved? That is, will the NVIDIA drivers and a current Tumbleweed play nice together? Since there has been so little discussion, I suspect that all is working as expected. I have been happily using the Nouveau driver. But I guess I cannot do so any more... -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Google
by Doug McGarrett 08 Mar '20

08 Mar '20

Running Tumbleweed. And Firefox. For a while, I was able to get FF to open in Google, but now it has reverted to the OpenSuse screen. This is a PITA! When I click on the FF icon, I want it to open in Google, because right after I click on the icon, I start typing the question, and it turns out that the Suse screen doesn't know anything about that and I have to type it over again. How do I get back so the icon opens in Google? Thanx--doug -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Tumbleweed yast partitioner
by Michael Hamilton 07 Mar '20

07 Mar '20

I've noticed that the Tumbleweed yast partitioner doesn't complete all operations before exiting when finished is press. I can see the cryptsetup and mkfs running as a processes after it exits. In my case this would be for making a encrypted ext4 or xfs whole disk partition and file system on an external USB drive. Is it supposed to work that way? If so, perhaps it should tell the user not to do anything like unplug the drive before checking that all associated processes have completed.

[opensuse] CUDA versions on Tumbleweed
by Roger Oberholtzer 06 Mar '20

06 Mar '20

I am trying to set up a CUDA ecosystem that includes building CUDA based programs. I am targeting Tumbleweed. I have sorted out the details of getting CUDA 10.2 to compile stuff. I am now trying to get the run environment set up. I know that this is a known fun area. Anyway, I have some questions: CUDA 10 requires NVIDIA drivers >= 410.48. For Tumbleweed, this is satisfied for the G05 drivers (cards > 600). Unfortunately, the G04 drivers for older cards (which I have in my development system) is 390.132. When I try to run my shiny new program, I get: CUDA Error: CUDA driver version is insufficient for CUDA runtime version Which seems about right. As it turns out, in the CUDA development repo (http://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/opensuse15/x86_64/), there are newer G04 versions. However, these seem not to be specifically for Tumbleweed's 5.5.6 kernel. I am guessing that installing one of these will mess everything up. The Legacy info page at NVIDIA (https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/unix/legacy-gpu/) says that older cards are supported in the 390 series of drivers. But they seem to supply a newer version in the CUDA development area. Question 1: Why might NVIDIA not be supplying the latest G04 drivers in the Tumbleweed repo? It seems the drivers do exist. Anyone know why they are not the versions provided? Question 2: Has anyone installed a newer G04 (>= 410.48) driver on a current Tumbleweed? If so, how? Just installing the RPMs seems iffy. I am not certain there is a .run install with the newer G04 drivers. Or at least not that I can tell. I am guessing that I should just get a new NVIDIA card and skip all this nonsense. But where is the challenge in that? -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
