[opensuse] During zypper dup update: how to force the rpms to be downloaded temporarily to a specified repo (eg. /home/user/update)
by Stakanov 13 Jul '20

13 Jul '20

My disk space on root is only 2 GB. Too low to perform an update via zypper dup because the amount of rpms downloaded prior installation exceeds the space. I did last time a trick that I simply forgot, I defined a place for the rmp to be downloaded in /home. I then lifted this when done. But I cannot recall the command. Anybody knows still how to do it? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Curious issue with Seamonkey
by James Knott 13 Jul '20

13 Jul '20

I have both Seamonkey and Thunderbird for email on Leap 15.2. One difference I've noticed is when the sender includes a graphic in the subject. On Thunderbird, the picture appears entirely within the subject line, which is annoying enough, but in Seamonkey it's spread over several lines. Has anyone else noticed this? Any ideas on how to fix this, other than shooting the idiots who send this crap? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] NFS client woes (Windows)
by Roger Oberholtzer 13 Jul '20

13 Jul '20

I am running an openSUSE 15.1 NFS server in a cluster with a mix of Linux and Windows clients. The Linux side of everything seems to be working great. The NFS clients on Windows 10 seem unstable. They seem always to have trouble maintaining the connection. There are four Windows computers that are doing the same thing. They are pretty much identical. Wait a minute. Why am I asking what appears to be a Windows question here? Well, I can't be 100% positive it is simply that the official Windows 10 NFS client from Microsoft is so unstable, I do not see any discussions about this. Surely there would be a blip on the radar. All I see are things about speed comparisons. So, I am thinking that the server and client are somehow mismatched. So I'm starting by asking: Is anyone using the MS NFS client for Windows 10 with an openSUSE NFS server? Why NFS? Mainly because it is easy to share and unshare directories independently. The server maintains a disk array with 24 removable disks (hot swappable). These disks come and go independently. So they need to be exported and unexported independently. I do not see how to do this with SAMBA. All is in one big file and they are shared and unshared together. We do not want to disrupt some disks while changing others. So NFS seemed a way to go. If I have missed something in SAMBA, I would be ever so happy. That was question two. -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] constant volume level in firefox
by Istvan Gabor 12 Jul '20

12 Jul '20

Hello: How can I set firefox to keep the volume I've set in pulseaudio volume control? For example when I play a video in youtube and adjust the volume of its sound, the volume is reset to 100% when I fast forward or move back in the video. This is very annoying. How can I make firefox remember the volume? Currently I use openSUSE Leap 15.1 and firefox 60.8.0esr but the problem occurs in other versions of firefox and firefox derivatives (eg palemoon browser) as well.

[opensuse] Modern and current 7zip and rar file format version support?
by cagsm 12 Jul '20

12 Jul '20

Wanted to make more use of Suse/Linux, but people from over the corporate and Windows worlds seem to be fond of submitting RAR and 7ZIP file formats to all the different places, channels, transfer mechanisms etc and seemingly even current Leap 15.2 seems to be unable to handle new sub version formats of both, rar and 7zip file formats. This is my interpretation of the failings to read/check/unpack the rar and 7zip files on a fresh leap 15.2 installation. Lot of rar Files the ark program can not make any use of it complains it can not handle the content. Also the same for 7Zip as for the un*x world, there seems to be no fairly recent port of the open source 7zip project and or its libraries? I have not found any really meaningful information out there either, additional repositories, or projects to port more recent unrar or better 7zip source code and libraries over to the linux etc world. I guess 7zip SDK and source code would suffice, as a current 7zip on the windows platform can reand and at least extract also current rar archive formats. Anyone know how to solve these issues?

Re: [opensuse] SeaMonkey versions for OS (was: Curious issue with Seamonkey)

>> Seamonkey is not part of the distribution anymore. >> The OBS mozilla project should have binaries for 2.53.2 though > So, should I uninstall the openSUSE version and install directly from > Seamonkey? It's a personal preference thing. I'm using both 2.49.5 and 2.53.2 from mozilla.org. Save to /etc/zypp/repos.d/ http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/mozilla/openSUSE_Leap_15.2/mozill… to install 2.53.2 to 15.2 from OBS. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is religion, not science.

[opensuse] Smb protocol version 1 support with 15.2? Can I use samba packages from 15.1?
by cagsm 11 Jul '20

11 Jul '20

On some upgraded 15.1 system to the new 15.2 meanwhile, I have figured that smb protocol version 1 is seemingly gone for good now on the server side. In this network I have a smb version 1 level client only, and I used to connect to the suse leap 15.1 samba there. could solve my problem by removing the samba packages from the 15.2 machine and force installing the 15.1 packages from the earlier version?

[opensuse] dolphin and systemd automounts
by Per Jessen 10 Jul '20

10 Jul '20

In Dolphin, in the left hand column, I have my four systemd automounted drives listed under "Remote". When they are not mounted, the icon has what looks like a 'disconnect' symbol in the lower right hand corner. Sometimes the icons are even gone, not sure why. There are two NFS and two CIFS mounts - at first, I did not have 'user' in their options, and clicking on the drive in Dolphin would only produce an error message: An error occurred while accessing 'Home', the system responded: mount: /home/per/Photos: operation permitted for root only Displayed on a red background at the top of the window. So I added 'user' to the options for all four. The NFS drives - now work just fine. The CIFS drives - don't work. However, if I right-click on the CIFS drives instead, and select "Properties", the drive is correctly mounted .... go figure. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (26.9°C) http://www.cloudsuisse.com/ - your owncloud, hosted in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] kernel-source-5.3.18-lp152.20.7.1.noarch
by Mark Hounschell 10 Jul '20

Is there a reason that when the kernel sources are installed, there is no Makefile in the package to build it with? Am I missing something? Regards Mark -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
