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

10 Jun '20

greetings This is Analis. I have a question about the accessibility in Opensuse. I was wondering if it is possible to use the screen reader during the installation process. I know that when I press F9 at the startup screen after booting to the disk, I get speech output. However, after I choose installation and the installation window loads completely, I get no speech output. I have tried pressing the Alt+Meta+S key combination. I have also tried pressing Alt+F2 to open the run dialogue box, typing orca and pressing Enter. Both of those attempts have failed me. If it is possible to use the screen reader to install Opensuse, how do you 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

[opensuse] Account Help - Which is used for paste.opensuse.org?
by David C. Rankin 09 Jun '20

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.

[opensuse] [Leap 15] Desktop display larger than monitor
by Bob Williams 06 Jun '20

06 Jun '20

My wife runs openSUSE Leap 15.1 with KDE5/plasma desktop on her ASUS Zenbook notebook. There was a sudden change in the display when she logged in yesterday, the desktop is now larger than the monitor. Moving the mouse scrolls around the display, so all parts of the display are accessible, just not in view at the same time. The desktop looks magnified, fonts, window decorations all enlarged. A different user on the same machine doesn't have this problem, suggesting it is user specific and KDE specific. At the login screen (which is correctly sized for the monitor), after she types her password and hits enter, the openSUSE green lightbulb appears, then gets bigger after about 1 second, which suggests this is when the incorrect display settings get applied. If she logs in to a different DE, eg IceWM, the desktop fits the screen properly. She has not changed any settings, leaving all the under the bonnet/hood stuff to me. I have googled without success, and looked in System Settings, Display and Monitor, and Fonts, but nothing has changed. -- Bob Williams System: Linux 4.12.14-lp151.28.48-default Desktop: KDE Frameworks: 5.55.0, Qt: 5.9.7 and Plasma: 5.12.8 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] I need to do something in Thunderbird
by Carlos E. R. 03 Jun '20

03 Jun '20

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I need to view remote content in one email, but it seems that I accidentally clicked the wrong option in the message. So I google how to do it. "how to view remote content in thunderbird" I get: To load remote content, click Options in the notification bar and select one of the following options: Show remote content in this message to show remote content just for this particular message; Edit remote content options… to display remote content by default (see next section); - From <https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/remote-content-in-messages#w_display-r…> Problem: There is no "Options in the notification bar" thing. There is no notification bar at all, even. If I go to the menu Edit/Preferences, there is no "search" to search an option by name. If I go to "display", there is nothing on display the html or remote content. I know I did it sometime in the distant past, I have remote content disabled by default and I must allow it manually for each post. But I don't know where it is. - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.

[opensuse] 15.2 Beta Installer -- Huge OverBloat
by David C. Rankin 02 Jun '20

02 Jun '20

Devs, Installing 15.2 from the net-install with the "Generic Desktop" entry, single-partition ext4 and language English, the installer selected nearly 3G of packages to install by default. I don't have any btrfs, so I don't need all the snapperd stuff, et... I am using English, I don't want the huge plethora of Chinese and Japanese fonts installed. I don't want a full ruby install, etc... and on and on. Why is the Generic Desktop so bloated with packages? In the past there was a "Minimal X Install" using TWM that did just about exactly what I wanted and I envisioned "Generic Desktop" doing, but no, this thing is installing almost the entire DVD (even tough I'm using the NET installer) There is Qt5frameworks, etc... Is there no longer a "Minimal X Install" -- that does just that a "minimal" install? What is the better option? Just choose the "Server" install and build from there (I've done that with 15.0 and there were so many missing dependencies on X install it was a challenge, (xcb/xevent/pinentry, etc...) Recommendations? Server Install and try again? -- David C.
