[opensuse] plasma and display
by jdd＠dodin.org 27 Aug '20

27 Aug '20

Hello, I use since 2017 a trick to have a full hd screen (1920x1080) on a hd (large, 1366x728 on 15.6") display. On Intel driver it works perfectly in 15.1 plasma. I just did a fresh install of 15.2. This don't work anymore correctly on kde/plasma, not at all in wayland. This last way may be normal, the display identification seems to have changed. I want to say first than all this shouldn't be necessary if only the kde setup allowed to have *smaller* display in it's config, when it allows only *bigger* display. my goal is only to have less vasted place from any decoration... It works perfectly with icewm and xfce, so I could live with it like this, but I really like all the kde setups :-) To get this goal, I run xrandr, crating first a 1920x1080 definition, creating a VIRTUAL1 (or 2) screen, them making VIRTUAL fit the LCD screen. script is as shown: xrandr --newmode "1920x1080_60.00" 173.00 1920 2048 2248 2576 1080 1083 1088 1120 -hsync +vsync xrandr --addmode VIRTUAL1 1920x1080_60.00 xrandr --fb 1920x1080_60.00 --dpi 96 --output eDP1 --pos 0x0 --scale-from 1920x1080 --same-as VIRTUAL1 xrandr --output HDMI2 --pos 1920x0 last line only needed in 15.2/xfce. Blank lines added for clarity * why is this script working in 15.1 and not in 15.2? * what should it be in wayland? thanks jdd -- http://dodin.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Enabling videos
by ken 26 Aug '20

26 Aug '20

Though some videos play fine (in Firefox v.79.0), e.g., youtube things, a lot of others don't. All videos played in my previously installed suse without tinkering. But since the new install, many don't play at all. Commonly the video's audio will play, but the screen will be black. In FF I enabled "Play DRM Content", but that didn't change anything, even after restarting FF. So I'm assuming I need to install some additional packages. Anyone know what those packages might be? tnx -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Do I have an m2 SSD slot?
by oszko＠chem.u-szeged.hu 26 Aug '20

26 Aug '20

Dear all, I have an ASUS K501 UX laptop. Since the K501 UB model has an m2 slot, I suspect this one also has. But how can I decide it from command line, without opening up the box?

[opensuse] strange problem with Firefox
by Dave Howorth 25 Aug '20

25 Aug '20

I've just encountered a weird problem with Firefox. I use a local HTML file as my homepage <file:///home/dhoworth/public_html/localstart.html> to avoid problems if the network is down. On that page I have various links to pages I use a lot (e.g. BBC News) and some text entry boxes that execute google and wikipedia searches. It all works fine and has for years. This afternoon, it has suddenly stopped working: If I hover above the links I see the target URL down in the bottom corner as usual, but if I click on the link nothing happens. If I try to type into a search box, I can't, and the search buttons don't work. If I click the right mouse button, no context menu appears. This is just on my homepage. Everything works normally in the menus and toolbars, address bar etc. Every other web page seems to work as normal. e.g. I can click and type text into <https://www.w3schools.com/angular/tryit.asp?filename=try_ng_example1> So there seems to be something blocking just my homepage. If I start as new browser session as a different user and load my homepage into that, everything works. I suspect that if I close my current browser session and then start a new one, it will work too, but I'd like to try to understand what is happening first. Any ideas, anyone? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Leap 15.2: Fail to start network during reboot
by Darryl Gregorash 22 Aug '20

22 Aug '20

The last two times my system has been rebooted, it failed to start the network service. I had to do a manual restart to get internet service. I have no idea where to look to correct the problem.

[opensuse] KDE menu not appearing sometimes
by Mikhail Ramendik 22 Aug '20

22 Aug '20

Hello, I have a machine that runs Leap 15.1, updated from 15.0 about a week ago. It has a problem that started back in 15.0. Sometimes the main KDE menu, the one in the bottom left corner, just stops appearing. It can not be conjured by clicks on the icon, nor by the "Windows" key on the keyboard. Logging off and on resolves the issue, until it happens again. It is not clear so far what triggers it, but maybe some game - my son uses this machine and he runs Team Fortress 2 and Minecraft (from Steam). How can I troubleshoot this? Thanks! -- Yours, Mikhail Ramendik Unless explicitly stated, all opinions in my mail are my own and do not reflect the views of any organization -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Curious bug with Firefox? KDE?
by James Knott 19 Aug '20

19 Aug '20

Recently, there's been a bug with the way open Firefox icons are displayed. These are the icons that appear when the cursor is held over an open app. With Firefox, all instances show the same content, which makes it impossible to choose the desired one. Clicking on the icon produces the desired list of open windows. Has anyone else noticed this? Ideas? tnx jk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
