[opensuse] 15.2 with ext4 (only) install - Why is btrfsmaintenance-refresh.foo "enabled" by default?
by David C. Rankin 14 Jun '20

14 Jun '20

All, Again with pure ext4 install, I have btrfsmaintenance-refresh.path btrfsmaintenance-refresh.service enabled by default. I thought that was going to be addressed in the 15.0 timeframe? It's easy enough to disable and remove the btrfs packages, but it shows the partitioner still isn't smart enough to remove the btrfs defaults when there is no btrfs at all. Bug it? -- David C.

[opensuse] Why no X11 windowmanagers repo for 15.2?
by David C. Rankin 14 Jun '20

14 Jun '20

The windowmanagers repo is present for all but 15.2? Is that still due to the pre-release status? http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/windowmanagers/ -- David C.

[opensuse] Question About Accessibility
by Analis Dannen 10 Jun '20

10 Jun '20

Greetings This is Analis. I sent an Email this morning and have not yet got a response. I have a question about the accessibility in Opensuse. I was wondering if it is possible to install Opensuse using the screen reader, as I am completely blind. I know that when I press F9 on the startup screen after booting to the disk, I get speech output. However, after choosing the installation option and waiting for the installation window to load completely, I get no speech output. I have tried pressing the Alt+Meta+S key combination to start the screen reader. I have also tried pressing Alt+F2 to open the run dialogue box, typing orca and pressing Enter. Both of these attempts have failed me. If it is possible to install Opensuse using the screen reader, how do I do that? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] What is the right bugzilla for openSUSE?
by David C. Rankin 10 Jun '20

10 Jun '20

After Dave's comment re: retext crashes with core dump, I am worried I'm not using the right bugzilla. What is the new bugzilla? I'm still using: https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/ is this not right anymore -- it's still working, so I presume this is the right place. I just filed a bug for 15.1/15.2 so I hope that is the right place. -- David C.

[opensuse] Lost panel
by Anton Aylward 09 Jun '20

09 Jun '20

Sometimes, very sometimes, after a 'zypper up' that possibly, I don't know details not what to look for, updates parts of plasm, I loose panels and windows at login. perhaps I knew how to recover, but it happened today and I can't recall. Sorry to be vague. All I can say is that the config vanished, I just have the one window and no panels and that's it. No blank space to clink on. Any suggestions? -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

All, I was at paste.opensuse.org and clicked Login and the Openid box appeared. Which ID is my Openid? The myaccount.suse one or the buildservice/bugzilla one or the OSC one? -- David C.

[opensuse] 15.2 Beta -- graphical.target locks when run from Current Virtualbox 5.2.42 branch
by David C. Rankin 08 Jun '20

08 Jun '20

Devs, 15.2 installs fine, but then X locks when graphical.target started when running withing Virtualbox 5.2.42. (current 5.2 branch supported release by Oracle). Apparently 15.2 has hardwired modules for VBox 6.0.X that are now completely incompatible with 15.2 and lock the machine as soon as the graphical target is reached (two virtualbox messages momentarily appear before the black-screen lockup -- requiring a hard shutdown) Booting rescue and changing the default.target to multi-user.target and the box boots fine to the CLI and login is fine, but X cannot be started. In 15.1 there were 4 error dialogs displayed on graphic.target start, but they were explained as harmless (and they were on 15.1, X worked fine on VirtualBox 5.2.42 after the VB 6.0.x error messages were canceled on desktop start. No more. The hardwired VB 6.0.x module now lock X on 15.2 when running from the VirtualBox 5.2 branch. This needs to be fixed. -- David C.
