Somehow by accident I got a white square that is apparently called "Notes" on my desktop. How do I get rid of it? Thanx--doug

internet security

by Douglas McGarrett

Recently credit cards were hacked, and I had to get replacements. Today found an item charged to my name with a shipping address in North Carolina! (I'm in New York.) Is there a recommendation for software that can protect against this, and if so, what is it? (I looked at ESET, which comes highly recommended, but when I went to sign up, was given only Windows, Mac, and Android OSes to pick. Also says end of life second quarter of 2022. Is this something that can be protected by software, and if so, what software? Running Leap 15.3. --doug

by hermann-Josef Beckers

Trying above update with the lokal installed oss-13.2-DVD image as only active repository. First try with "zypper -v dup" stop because of a full /var directory. created a /varnew double the size of /var, copied /var /varnew, edited /etc/fstab to point /var to the new partition and rebooted. Second try "zypper -v dup" results in the erro messages listed below. Can I retry and ignore the error?

[oS-en] Firefox will not start.

by Carlos E. R.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 In one machine, running Leap 15.2, Firefox does not display. It runs, asks what profile to start, but never opens. I have just updated the machine. I can open it in safe mode. It asks if I want to refresh the profile, I say yes, and it opens. It keeps my tabs. Add ons are gone (there was only one, an add blocker). I close it and try to start it normally, but does not. I have to kill it. Gone through this three or four times. What is going on? How do I find out? Video is Intel. I try to create a new profile. Dialog pops up, says to click next, but the buttons are half way out the bottom of the window and I can not read them. I try to rename the resulting profile, but does not obey the keys to type a new name. I manage to delete it. Create new profile again, this time the next key displays properly. I have to hit it twice. Try to rename it, impossible. Nevertheless, that new profile fails to display, I have to kill it. Trying to downgrade firefox from 91 to 78. Says I have to create a new profile because bookmarks have been migrated :-( (does it create a backup of the profile when it migrates?) But at least it runs. Maybe I can find the list of opened tabs somewhere in the old profile. - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.

xTuple anyone?

by Lew Wolfgang

Hi Folks, I've been asked to look into hosting an xTuple server, an ERP system. The docs look like it supports Ubuntu and Debian, but no mention of RPM-based distros. Does anyone have any experience with xTuple and can offer some pointers? Would I even have a chance to host it on Leap? Thanks in advance, Lew

OS install on USB-C disk on a laptop

by Cyrus

Hello!, I have a work machine I cannot reinstall (comes with Windows), Latitude 5420. Given it has only one M2 slot, I'm exploring using a Sabrent nano USB-C external disk to run opensuse from it, but I'm wondering if it will work properly in a laptop scenario (suspend/resume). Can anybody share their experience with similar setups?. Regards, Cyrus.-

Raid rebuild on every reboot?

by Klaus Vink Slott

Hi. I use a retired office pc with core i5 with as a NAS. I have dropped in 2 disks (3.5T sata) and configured as md raid1 and with lvm on top. It has worked flawless for a year or so, but now after the latest 2 reboots it has triggered a raid rebuilding. Only thing I find in dmesg (but I am not sure what to search for) klaus@raagi:~> sudo dmesg | grep " md" [ 4.131071] md/raid1:md127: active with 2 out of 2 mirrors [ 4.282183] md127: detected capacity change from 0 to 4000261472256 [ 64.407382] md: data-check of RAID array md127 [21681.409218] md: md127: data-check interrupted. [25477.760407] md: data-check of RAID array md127 [47096.271827] md: md127: data-check interrupted. I left the PC running after reboot, so I am not sure why the data-check was interrupted. Any ideas on why it has started to rebuild after every reboot? -- Cheers Klaus

Paste.Opensuse - Trying to Paste "freshclam -v" output - says I'm a Spammer - WTF?

by David C. Rankin

All, paste.opensuse.org has gone nuts. I'm attempting to paste the 100 lines from "freshclam -v" as freshclam failed claiming it can't reach any servers in freshclam.conf. However, paste.opensuse.org responds: <quote> An Error Was Encountered You are spammer!!! </quote> Huh? What gives? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

leap 15.3 - install on an NFS root is a bit odd

by Per Jessen

Having booted the installation system, and gone into the expert partitioner, the 'Add' option does not have a keyboard shortcut - you have to tab to it and hit enter. That's new. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (8.5°C)
