ranting on this list's management

Hi All I was trying to unsub from this list from another address of mine, which didn't work properly, so I tested the present provider, which in turn works fine I couldn't unsubscribe from the list's site (https://lists.opensuse.org) because I haven't got an account and getting a new one was not available. So I sent an unsub mail to users-leave(a)opensuse.org, it seems this is the correct procedure now, but I wasn't able to unsubscribe, I got a "delivery notification", which I sent to the list's owner. He said "I'll look into it", but after a couple of weeks I tried again to unsubscribe and it failed as before. I reported the issue to the owner, but this time I didn't even get a reply, so I had to filter the list as "spam" to not get it double downloaded. What's up with "users"? Is it gonna be eliminated perhaps? Cheers,

12-bit jpeg
by Roger Oberholtzer 23 Feb '21

23 Feb '21

We have had a request for 12-bit color jpeg images. Sigh. Anyway, isn't it the case that the jpeg library must be compiled for 12-bit instead of 8-bit support? I would imagine that one could not then replace the system jpeg library with this version. Has anyone tried 12-bit jpeg support in openSUSE? What was involved? -- Roger Oberholtzer

Folks, I've recently done an update from 15.1 to 15.2 using `zypper dup`. Since then I see an annoying message on the middle of my KDE desktop screen: Erstellung des Ein-/Ausgabemoduls nicht möglich. Socket für Ein-/Ausgabemodul für „desktop“ kann nicht gestartet werden. I guess an English translation is roughly Can't create in/out module. Socket for in/out module for 'desktop' can't be started. My next step was to switch to the newest KDE version following the instructions from https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:KDE_repositories However, I still get this message. For testing purposes, I called dbus-launch dolphin and get the following output on the console – dolphin shows no files in its window. kf.kio.core: KIO Connection server not listening, could not connect kf.kio.core: couldn't create slave: "Socket für Ein-/Ausgabemodul für „tags“ kann nicht gestartet werden." kf.kio.core: "Erstellung des Ein-/Ausgabemoduls nicht möglich. Socket für Ein-/Ausgabemodul für „tags“ kann nicht gestartet werden." kf.kio.core: "Erstellung des Ein-/Ausgabemoduls nicht möglich. Socket für Ein-/Ausgabemodul für „tags“ kann nicht gestartet werden." kf.kio.core: KIO Connection server not listening, could not connect kf.kio.core: couldn't create slave: "Socket für Ein-/Ausgabemodul für „trash“ kann nicht gestartet werden." kf.kio.core: "Erstellung des Ein-/Ausgabemoduls nicht möglich. Socket für Ein-/Ausgabemodul für „trash“ kann nicht gestartet werden." kf.kio.core: KIO Connection server not listening, could not connect kf.kio.core: couldn't create slave: "Socket für Ein-/Ausgabemodul für „file“ kann nicht gestartet werden." ... Do you have any idea how I could fix this? Werner

ACER E5-575
by Carl Spitzer {L Juno} 22 Feb '21

now three installs later new errors. First install Leap 15.2 worked for a year then suddenly ethernet stopped working. File systems ext4. Some creative workarounds fixed it temporarily then failed. So second install fixed that used btrfs for root and xfs for home then suddenly / became read only so with Knoppix I got my files and settings off. through all this one strange persistant error indicator: platform mgs10101:00 failed to claim resource 1: mcm oxfed 40000 Even when working correctly this last error persisted. now i will try again with new partitions Is all this a general error of Leap or is it ACER specific? ____________________________________________________________ Sponsored by https://www.newser.com/?utm_source=part&utm_medium=uol&utm_campaign=rss_tag… 'He Was the DB Cooper of Nebraska' http://thirdpartyoffers.juno.com/TGL3131/6031ce5ee41734e5e20c8st03duc1 Abbott Calls Biden's Move 'Partial Approval' http://thirdpartyoffers.juno.com/TGL3131/6031ce5f142cc4e5e20c8st03duc2 Metal Panel Found in 1991 Could Hold Earhart Clues http://thirdpartyoffers.juno.com/TGL3131/6031ce5f3783e4e5e20c8st03duc3

wicked: support route type table
by Samuel Bernardo 21 Feb '21

21 Feb '21

Hello, I'm trying for some years to change from network scripts into wicked, but it seems wicked lack the support for routing tables. From available documentation I don't see that feature available[1][2]. The support for the following seems not to be available in wicked: > 192.168.0/24 - - - - src 192.168.0.12 table mylocalnet where ifrule have the following > 4: from 192.168.0.12 lookup mylocalnet I require different routing tables for each network device. Is there any way to achieve the same behavior with wicked? Regards, Samuel [1] https://github.com/openSUSE/wicked/blob/master/man/ifroute.5.in [2] https://github.com/openSUSE/wicked/blob/master/man/ifrule.5.in

hplip
by Michael Spartana 20 Feb '21

20 Feb '21

Hi, I believe there is a problem with the latest tumbleweed version of hplip (hplip-3.20.11-1.4.x86_64 ) I am unable to install the plugin and am getting the error: Error importing HPLIP modules. Is HPLIP installed? I checked on google and this type of error has been seen before. Probably no one else has seen it on tumbleweed as most tumbleweed users probably don't keep reinstalling the OS. I'm not on factory so could someone look into this.....Thanks, mike

Freezing Skype after TW 20210212 & 20210215
by Vojtěch Zeisek 19 Feb '21

19 Feb '21

Hi, since I yesterday upgraded 2 TW installs with KDE to latest TW snapshots, both 20210212 as well as 20210215, and since then Skype (latest version from its own repo) seems to be running in background well, i.e. it notifies me about new message and so on, but the window doesn't render at all, it contains basically background, so it's not usable at all. I wonder if this could be related to possible sandboxing issue mentioned by Dominique at Tuesday, but I have 64bit systems, and I have libqt5-qtwebengine 5.15.2-6.1 from tw-update. Any idea what could be wrong? -- Vojtěch Zeisek https://trapa.cz/ Komunita openSUSE GNU/Linuxu Community of the openSUSE GNU/Linux https://www.opensuse.org/

GIMP and plugins in oS or TW
by oszko＠chem.u-szeged.hu 19 Feb '21

19 Feb '21

Hi all, I try to use GIMP as a photo manipulator software on TW. Mainly to a bit repair old photos. I know there is a so-called resynthetizer python plugin set for GIMP. I dowloaded them, copied into the plugins directory of GIMP, made them executabel, and reloaded GIMP. And nothing. They should be present inthe Filters/Enhance list, but they are not there. Could anybody of you made them to work? I would especially need the heal selection plugin to remove patches, flecks, writing on old pictures. Unfortunately, it is also difficult to make toolboxes visible in oS. In Ubuntu and Mint GIMP comes up as expected - but the plugins mentioned above are not seen either.
