[opensuse] installing Gimp 2.10 on OS 15.1 failed (or: how to get webp for gimp?)
by Daniel Bauer 12 May '20

12 May '20

Hello, I need to be able to read and safe webp graphics in gimp. I am on Opensuse 15.1 and that comes with gimp 2.8 which doesn't support this format, it is (as I read) included from Gimp 2.9. I found oneclick install for Gimp 2.10 for OS 15.1. Tried it. It failed because libmypaint-1.4 cant be found. I installed without, but then Gimp doesn't start. I searched for libmypaint - found oneclick 1.5.1 - tried, but it didn't install because of an rpm error. 1.4.0 is only available for OS 15.2 (haven't tried to install it, should I - on 15.1?) my questions: - How can I install Gimp 2.10 on 15.1 and resolve the missing libmypaint-1.4? - or alternatively: how can I make Gimp 2.8 to handle webp graphics?

[opensuse] Weird Wifi connection issue on Leap
by Matthias Bach 05 May '20

05 May '20

Hi, On one of my systems running Leap 15.1 I have a weird issue with connecting the system to Wifi networks that I however haven't really been able to pin down precise enough to feel confident in writing a bug report. When trying to connect to a WLAN after system start the connection will fail and a pop-up will appear that asks for the WPA password. Now, no matter how often I enter the correct password in that dialog, connection will still fail. However, if I cancel the connection, wait for a couple of seconds and then press the connect button in the KDE Network Manger, the connection will succeed, using the password that had been stored for that connection all time long. Also, if I remove the configuration for the network and connection from the KDE network manger, the password will be prompted in the network selection screen, not in the pop-up window, and connection will work right away. Weirdly, I only observe this issue on one of my systems. The only thing special about that system is that I messed up when ordering it and it thus is powered by an RTL8821CE-based Wifi adapter which I use via a kernel module ported over from Endless OS [1]. However, as the connection works without issue if "manually" connecting to the network, I fail to see how the driver could be at fault here. Any idea on what I could look at to further pin down the issue?

[opensuse] mkiss kernel module missing
by Marc Chamberlin 05 May '20

05 May '20

Hi - I don't normally wander anywhere near the kernel software so please forgive my ignorance. I am running OpenSuSE Leap 15.1 (recently upgraded) on a system that I use in connection with my ham radio hobby. I am trying to get the ax.25 communication layer going over an RS232 link and the software I use is complaining that the mkiss kernel module is missing. In the past I think this was simply included in the default kernel module so I don't understand why it doesn't seem to be playing nice anymore. Has it been moved to a separate package and if so how do I find it and get it installed? YaST and other tools don't seem to have a clue... Google ain't helping either! Any help would be greatly appreciated! (and please don't simple tell me what I need to do, I am venturing into unknown territory here, so actual commands and examples, like pictures, are worth a thousand words!)

[opensuse] vncviewer and displayless remote
by Roger Oberholtzer 04 May '20

04 May '20

Hi I am using vncviewer to connect to an openSUSE (42.3) system that does not have a connected display/keyboard/mouse. Generally it works very well. I access the desktop that would have been seen on the remote system if it had a display. But I would not just be posting a happy 'it's working' message (even if I think they are not a bad thing...). Now would I. The size of the local window with the desktop is whatever size the remote X thinks it's display is. When there is no display attached, it uses some default smaller size. Probably 800x600 or something like that. Is it possible to tell X what the resolution should be when no display is found? Of course I would like the discovery when a display is attached to be done. This is just when X starts without a display, or is otherwise unable to determine the display size to use. I have looked at these types of things: https://askubuntu.com/questions/453109/add-fake-display-when-no-monitor-is-… Setting it with xrandr would always override the resolution whatever any real display indicated. I want it to be when no display is detected.

[opensuse] running wordpress on Leap 15.1
by Mathias Homann 03 May '20

03 May '20

Hi all, I'm running wordpress on two Leap 15.1 systems, but (from the built in health check in WP 5.4): "Your site is running an older version of PHP (7.2.5) PHP is the programming language used to build and maintain WordPress. Newer versions of PHP are faster and more secure, so staying up to date will help your site’s overall performance and security. The minimum recommended version of PHP is 7.3." I can't simply add the obs phpo7 and extensions/php7 repos, since several extensions in there don't work properly right now - namely the redisd, memcached, and geoip ones. Any ideas? No, not going to build php from source locally.

[opensuse] command line printing question
by Istvan Gabor 03 May '20

03 May '20

Hello: I have a pdf file which is A5 paper size in landscape mode. When I open it in a pdf viewer (acroread, kdpf, okular) it is shown in landscape mode. pdfinfo shows: Producer: GPL Ghostscript 9.15 CreationDate: Wed Apr 8 23:20:35 2020 ModDate: Wed Apr 8 23:20:35 2020 Tagged: no Pages: 1 Encrypted: no Page size: 596 x 421 pts (A5) File size: 43191 bytes Optimized: no PDF version: 1.5 I would like to print this file, using lp or lpr command, onto the upper half of a portrait A4 paper, that is the A5 file is placed in landscape mode on a portrait A5 paper's upper half. Whatever I try, the document is always printed A5 portrait mode on the A4 paper with the document's lower edge close to the bottom of the A4 paper. I tried these commands, and all gives exactly the same result: lpr -P printer -o media=a4 file.pdf lpr -P printer -o media=a5 -o orientation-requested=4 file.pdf lpr -P printer -o media=a4 -o orientation-requested=4 file.pdf lpr -P printer -o media=a5 file.pdf lp -d printer -o media=a4 -o orientation-requested=4 file.pdf lp -d printer -o media=a5 -o orientation-requested=4 file.pdf lp -d printer -o media=a5 -o landscape file.pdf I'm afraid it's something trivial I'm missing. When I print the file from Okular: - setting paper size A4 portrait: the file is printed in landscape mode to the center of the A4 page (no to the upper half) - setting paper size A4 landscape: the file is printed in landscape mode relative to the A4 page and is scaled up to fit the A4 page - setting paper size A5 landscape: the file is printed in portrait mode (rotated 90 degrees to the left) and is scaled down - setting paper size A5 portrait: the file is printed in landscape mode to the center of the A4 page and is scaled down.

[opensuse] Set static IP adress for some domain
by Admin Beckspaced 27 Apr '20

27 Apr '20

Dear opensuse users, I'm running the latest opensuse leap 15.1 just today I ran into a situation where I needed to point a domain to a specific IP adress. If I'm on my windows client I just update the hosts file 112.202.123.179 somedomain.com copy that file to /windows/system32/drivers/etc open a terminal and run 'ipconfig /flushdns' and voila ... whatever way I try to access the domain, e.g. do a ping or visit the domain in a web browser it points to the IP adress defined in the hosts file. How can I do this on an opensuse box? there's also a /etc/hosts file but it doesn't seem to get picked up? there's also a DNS running on the box (same like on the windows computer) but I just want this specific domain to have a specific static IP address I've already looked into /etc/hosts.conf ... /etc/resolver.conf ... /etc/nsswitch.conf ... or whatsoever ... Still without any luck at all ;) Is it really that difficult? I'm more that grateful for any insight. thanks & greetings Becki -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Print/scan on Epson working now
by Doug McGarrett 26 Apr '20

26 Apr '20

Not sure what made this work, but my Epson WP4530 all-in-one is now printing and scanning. (TW.) I have done the following: Set a static IP address in the printer, to what it was under a different Linux system some time ago. 192.168.1.26 This was done thru the control panel of the printer, iaw Epson directions. Open a user console and enter xsane. (This previously said could not find scanner.) Scanner came to life and worked. Found print choice of Epson in Libre Office and used printer to print. Tried XSane from icon on desktop--worked. Shut down to power off, then restarted. Print and scan still works. Don't know what magic happened, but I'm happy! --doug -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
