Hos to install fonts into LibreOffice without adding them to the system
by Carl Spitzer {L Juno} 19 Apr '21

19 Apr '21

Seems there are differing ideas for Ubuntu but this is Leap 15.2 updated routinely. one idea is /home/<user>/.local/share/fonts the other is /usr/share/fonts though I do not have a fonts directory here presently. Some mention of fc-cache -fv. I have about 3k fonts and no desire to slow down the system by installing them in the system especially the speciality fonts for holidays etc which will only ever be used in OpenOffice on the older systems and LibreOffice on the Leap system.

(see /usr/lib/ups/driver/ for possible drivers. Each driver has a man page. Many USB UPSes are usbhid-ups.) - Set port key to the device your UPS is connected to, e.g. /dev/ttyS0 for first serial port (COM1) or /dev/usb/hiddev0 for USB HID UPS. - Adjust desc key as you want. Start the service: - "/etc/init.d/upsd start" No autodetection script in year 2021? Sigh. :-( Ok, so I configure "ups.conf". What driver? My UPS is "Salicru", there is no driver listed. Google sugest "blazer_usb". [myups] driver = blazer_usb port = /dev/usb/hiddev0 desc = "Salicru SPS SOHO+ 800VA" Start the service with "/etc/init.d/upsd start". Surely this is obsolete! Yes, the documentation is dated 2014.

SuSE Leap 15.2 problem: Some videos and moving gifs are not displayed on Twitter on Firefox, Chrome, Opera
by Peter Maffter 18 Apr '21

18 Apr '21

Hello, if moving gifs are not working anymore on Twitter for all browsers (Firefox, Chrome, Opera) are there some missing libraries on a new installed leap 15.2 ? Previously these were working on SuSE tumbleweed but the tumbleweed version from January 2021 did not find my software raid and crashed my installation completely, that is why I switched to Leap 15.2 . It is very strange that these gifs are working on https://giphy.com/ but it is not working here: https://twitter.com/PMaff2/status/1383877611844038662?s=20 The same tweet is working in firefox on Ubuntu perfectly. I read several pages, also suggesting switching off security.csp.enable in firefox, but since this also is not working on opera and chrome I do think there is some library missing in Leap 15.2 . Any help? Do I have to switch to Packman? BR & thanks in advance Pete

On a server installation, I see 932 vendor changes to "SUSE LLC" ? all fairly basic stuff, like e.g. bzip2. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (4.7°C) http://www.cloudsuisse.com/ - your owncloud, hosted in Switzerland.

Leap 15.2: Laptop fails to boot after latest kernel update
by Philippe Andersson 16 Apr '21

16 Apr '21

Hello List, On Saturday evening, I installed the latest kernel update on my laptop (kernel-default-devel-5.3.18-lp152.69.1.x86_64, Lenovo ThinkPad P53 with UEFI, Secure boot enabled, Trusted boot disabled). It replaced version 5.3.18-lp152.66-default. Package installation did not report anything unusual, but when booting the laptop on Sunday, I was greeted with an unfamiliar blue 'curses' prompt right after POST (and before the Grub menu): 'hit any key to enter MOK management' (this is the first time that I see this since upgrading the laptop from 15.1 to 15.2). Upon hitting a key, another pop-up menu was displayed, where I selected the "Continue boot" option. I then reached the usual Grub menu and attempted to boot, but the process then hung at "Loading ramdisk". Out of options, I performed a forced power-cycle and tried again: no more "MOK Management" menu, but the new kernel still fails to boot and hangs at the same spot. Selecting the earlier kernel in Grub still allows me to boot normally, thankfully. Has anyone else seen this? Depending on the replies, I'll file a bug if necessary. TIA Ph.

boot.log in leap?
by Peter Suetterlin 15 Apr '21

15 Apr '21

Hi list, on my TW systems, there is a boot.log created that catches the on-screen messages from the boot process. I have now some Leap 15.2 systems, and there I don't have those. Is there a way to enable this?

acroread doesn't see printers
by Istvan Gabor 14 Apr '21

14 Apr '21

Hello: For a while I could not upgrade to Leap 15.1 because I could not make acroread (adobe reader) work. I did not see the cups configured printers. The print window of acroread only offered "custom" printer. Then I find this acroread package: http://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/repositories/home:/ithod:/restored/openSUS… I installed it and then acroread showed all cups printers. I worked well. Recently I did some updates and now acroread shows only the "custom" printer again. I can't tell what triggered the change. I have run nvidia driver installer which might have change ld optins. How can I trace it? Can it be change of ld.so.conf or ld.so.cacher or something related? I do know it is possible to make it work, because it worked before. Thanks, Istvan
