But that did not matter. Firefox 68.6.1esr (64-bit) does no more work on any of these three computers. But I am grateful to SuSE, because otherwise I would not have detected Firefox 74.0.1 (64-bit) and how easy it is to be installed.

[opensuse] Virtualbox Problem
by Mark Misulich 07 Apr '20

07 Apr '20

Hi, I'm having a problem installing Virtualbox on Opensuse 15.1 with KDE Plasma Version 5.12.8 KDE Frameworks Ver 5.55.0 Qt Version 5.9.7 Kernel Version 5.6.0-rc7-1.g0801cd7-default I installed Virtualbox using Yast. When I try to start Virtualbox I get the following message: Failed to open a session for the virutal machine. Then, in a seperate popup window I get the following message: Kernel driver not installed (rc=1908) The VirtualBox LInux dernel driver is either not loaded or not set up correctly. Pleast try setting it up again by executing '/sbin/bvoxconfig' as root. When I run /sbin/vboxconfig as root, I get this message: Building kernel modules... Build of VirtualBox host kernel modules failed. Look at /var/log/virtualbox.log to find reasons In /var/log/virtualbox.log this message appears: === Building 'vboxdrv' module === make[1]: Entering directory '/usr/src/kernel- modules/virtualbox/src/vboxdrv' /usr/src/kernel-modules/virtualbox/src/vboxdrv/Makefile-header.gmk:193: *** Error: unable to find the headers of the Linux kernel to build against (KERN_DIR=/lib/modules/5.6.0-rc7-1.g0801cd7-default/build). Specify KERN_VER=<version> (currently 5.6.0-rc7-1.g0801cd7-default) and run Make again. Stop. make[1]: Leaving directory '/usr/src/kernel- modules/virtualbox/src/vboxdrv' make: *** [Makefile:58: vboxdrv] Error 2 None of the remedies that I have tried have produced a solution to the problem. I imagine that this is something easily fixed, but I will need some help to resolve it.

[opensuse] script question
by Istvan Gabor 07 Apr '20

07 Apr '20

Hello: I have a program that can send its output to a script. I can setup the script command in the program as: <script-name> option1 option2 ..., eg: myscript.sh name time. I know that I can get the options in the script using $1 and $2 etc. But how can I get the program's output that is sent to the script? I would like to write to output to a file. I also would like to use the program's output to different purposes. Can I store it in a variable and use it later, or do I have to save it in a temporary file? Thanks in advance, Istvan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] modifying postscript file (with pstops or other tool)
by Istvan Gabor 07 Apr '20

07 Apr '20

Hello: My program produces a postsctipt file which has a text block vertically in the middle of an A4 page. The text block fits A5 size in landscape mode. I would like to convert the ps file from A4 size portrait mode to A5 size landscape mode by shifting and/or rotating the text. I tried to use pstops tool: pstops -w14.8cm -h10.5cm 0$0cm,-7.5cm$ file0.ps out1.ps or pstops -pa5 0L$25.3cm,0cm$ file0.ps out2.ps but they did not work. It seems that pstops crops the original A4 size to A5, and only after cropping it shifts/rotates the page. Therefore the original text block is cut and only part of it goes to the new ps file. Is there any way I can solve this? Need not to be pstops. Thanks, Istvan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] DMARC bounces
by Dave Howorth 06 Apr '20

06 Apr '20

ISTR we've had discussions here about bouncing messages from the list server and got as far as diagnosing that they are caused by the mailing list server forwarding messages from DMARC-protected domains. It seems that the libreoffice list has similar problems and Brian Barker made a useful-looking proposal to fix the problem: "There are solutions to this problem, the simplest of which is for the list processor to append something such as ".INVALID" to the From: address in relevant messages, so that they are no longer recognised as coming from a DMARC-conformant domain. Many mailing list providers do this." I wonder if it would be possible to do this for the opensuse lists? I'd suggest a tag like .notDMARC rather than .INVALID so it's clear why the tag is there. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Lost X after update
by oszko＠chem.u-szeged.hu 05 Apr '20

05 Apr '20

Hi all, Yesterday I ran again into a problem which I cannot solve by myself. I updated my TW (with KDE). The update included a kernel update and many more. After rebooting the graphical environment did not start, only thr command line. I have network access, and I also see all things on this laptop. Interestingly, I can play the sound of a movie but cannot play music. Systemctl says I am at graphical target. I tried to boot with the kernel that was replaced with this update and worked fine, but the same happenned: no greaphical environment. What can I do to avoid reinstall and start KDE (or even iceweasel) again. Any help is welcome, Thanks, Albert ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Emergency shell during times of intense swapping
by Richmond 05 Apr '20

05 Apr '20

I have 1.5 G of RAM, and from time to time I inadvertently get stuck with swapping overload. At this time it becomes difficult even to swap to the virtual console with ctrl-alt-f1, and having got there, even though I changed the login time-out to 10 minutes, sometimes it times out. Wouldn't it be a good idea if there were a way to get a shell with hi priority urgently? Perhaps there is. It would probably need to be on an interrupt like ctrl-alt-D. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
