Hi *, is there a package for gerbera on Leap 15.3? The opensuse software page only lists versions for Leap 15.2 and for Tumbleweed. Thx and bye. Michael.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, See attachment. The cursor is in the middle of the last "a", instead of at the end of the "a" where the next letter would go. This makes editing very diffficult. I'm not providing any more info wating for ideas of what you might need, I have no idea what would be needed. Leap 15.2, default LO, AMD CPU and Video, no proprietary drivers. - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.

See attached :-) (the line below the selector, which says "imap") Also, if in that window you select the "repositories" tab, then as secondary filter "unmantained packages", it should list this orphan. > BTW, this is on a current Tumbleweed. Me, Leap, but it has always been this way, I doubt TW would be different. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.2 x86_64 at Telcontar)

mail archive - is this normal?
by Istvan Gabor 21 Oct '21

21 Oct '21

Hello: I am trying to find a message in the archive, which is a hard task. The search function doesn't work, it gives: Server error An error occurred while processing your request. Therefore I have to search monthly, and set the maximum results/page to 200 every time when I change month, because it is always reset to 10. (It is amazing what a crap this mail archive frontend is.) Going through the months I found this: openSUSE Users July 2021 users(a)lists.opensuse.org https://lists.opensuse.org/archives/list/users@lists.opensuse.org/2021/2/ Web Site Standards by Bryan Tyson which links to this message: Bryan Tyson 3 Jul 2002 19:50 https://gmail.hu/rmail/?_task=mail&_id=202060853761716bd7e72bd&_action=comp… How this message from July 2002 gets to the archive of February 2021?

I know I can install this with the traditional rpm command, and I know it will work, but I always get some nasty comments about doing so. YAST doesn't seem to see it. PLEASE don't tell me that Libre Office is just as good; it's not. --doug

Installation Doesn't Install
by Mark Misulich 21 Oct '21

21 Oct '21

Hi, I am trying to install Opensuse Leap 15.3 on a new Asus UX393E laptop, as a multiboot with Windows 11. The laptop has a 1 TB hardrive installed, which is listed as a NVMe Intel SSDPEKNW010T8. In preparation for the installation, I reduced the size of the Win partition, leaving an unallocated space for the Opensuse install. After rebooting, I disabled secure boot. I then booted Gparted from a USB stick and installed separate partitions in the unallocated space for Swap, Root, and Home. I planned on using the windows /boot/efi partition for the /boot/efi required by Leap. Then I attempted to install Leap 15.3 from a USB stick. The installation program worked well till I got to the partitioning. The install program doesn't recognize my harddrive at all, it only recognizes the USB stick with the installation program. It says it is unable to provide guided installation advice, and when I try to use expert partitioning, I find that the laptop's harddrive is not recognized at all. I haven't run across anything to help me out when I tried to search for an answer, and the opensuse forum is down now so I couldn't search there for ideas. Anyone have ideas about how to fix this problem? Thanks, Mark
