Apparently not in (too old?) KDE 3, I guess. well, current is plasma5/kde5 5.21 no reason to worry about kde 3. and if you prefer kde3, then you will also have to do w/o features added to later versions. your choice. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net

I used the command journalctl -b -1 -n 14 but I was sitting in front of a Debian box. On my opensuse boxes, with that command, I get a similar but more laborious logging since opensuse seems to have more stuff running. Roger

Firefox problem
by mcgarrett 11 Apr '21

11 Apr '21

System: OpenSUSE-tumbleweed. Was using Firefox for many months. Icon on desktop disappeared. Can get to and use Firefox by selecting the icon from the Application Menu, and it works OK. However, if I drag the Firefox icon onto the desktop and then select it, I get a message "Unknown error code 100. You are not authorized to execute this file." And the advice to make a bug report, which is what this is. Please respond to dmcgarrett(a)optonline.net mailto:dmcgarrett@optonline.net . Thank you.

Desktop Environment Features Compared: terminal and tabs
by kf 11 Apr '21

11 Apr '21

There are a couple of terminal programs available in gnome. The one which I like best is gnome-terminal. It can, within a single window, have a number of tabs, each functioning separately from the others. i.e., like a separate terminal window. They are automatically numbered, and (after remapping) I access them with Ctrl-1 to Ctrl-9, or however many tabs I have. All that is nice. However, in a new session (upon startup or after reboot), after I move the gnome-terminal where I want it (where I always put it), and after I resize it to how I want it (also pretty much the same in every session), then I need to open up all the other tabs... that is, it would be nicer if that app would remember that it should have eight tabs open and present itself that way upon invocation (i.e.. upon startup or after reboot). But AFAIK there is no such capability. How do these functionalities compare with the terminal app in other desktop environments (Mate, KDE, or others)? Thanks.

icon packages installed as part of the server pattern ?
by Per Jessen 10 Apr '21

I was just now cloning a 15.2 system and happened to notice a bunch of icon files being copied over. For a head-less system, that seems somewhat misplaced?

Installing openSUSE Tumbleweed i686 on 32bit Compaq NC-6400 laptop:
by pj.world＠gmx.com 10 Apr '21

10 Apr '21

A couple weeks ago I downloaded and verified an .iso from the following link: -> http://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/iso/ It was a 32 bit snapshot by the name of: -> openSUSE-Tumbleweed-KDE-Live-i686-Snapshot20210307-Media.iso I am uncertain between the difference in the i686 openSUSE TW .iso's as per current or snapshot-media suffixes. I successfully used balena Etcher to transfer the .iso to USB. I was able to use this snapshot effectively to install openSUSE TW on an Atom 311mini 1600 mhz cpu - small laptop. It was slow to update and very slow now but in a pinch functional. :| I am now attempting to use the same usb drive to install openSUSE TW onto a 32 bit Compaq nc-6400 1833 mhz Centrino Duo with 4 gigabytes of memory installed and verified. Intel integrated graphics onboard as well as Intel onboard wireless functionality. 160 GB internal sata harddisk. The usb appears to load fine into the boot option menu where I can choose to install openSUSE Tumbleweed KDE Live. I attempt this option (The first option-default) and loading proceeds without noticeable incident except for a square mouse cursor with some (Jumbly characters inside). KDE desktop seemingly appears and background scrolls very slowly down a bit at an angle with the openSUSE welcome lizard on the sailing mast window appearing. Trying to use the mouse cursor (block) is not functional when trying to click on "install". For that matter attempting to click on menu or closing the welcome window does not seem to work whatsoever. Are there a couple of options I could try with the boot menu that could yield some further success with this installation possibly? Thank You for your thoughts and suggestions.

Lexar F35

Hi all, Anyone around who managed to get the Lexar-F35 storage+fingerprint working with SuSE? They claimed that it was compatible under Linux, however, the small-print (after buying it) says: only the storage-part, not the fingerprint-reader.

ya Feature Comparison: Language selector
by kf 09 Apr '21

09 Apr '21

A nice feature in gnome/wayland is that we can easily change the (software) keyboard from one language to another (well. the choices are actually a bit more than that). A little bit of configuration is required in advance of course. And hotkeys can be assigned so then we don't even have to touch the mouse/touchpad. Do KDE, Mate, and/or other desktop environments have this feature? tia

Leap 15.1 delayed shutdown, at-spi-dbus-bus.service
by Istvan Gabor 09 Apr '21

09 Apr '21

Hello: My openSUSE Leap 15.1 system has a 90 seconds delay at shutdown. I use KDE3. It seems that some process is not stopped normally and systemd uses up its default timeout until it steps the next step of the shotdown process. Indeed, journalctl shows: # journalctl -rb -1 ... Apr 04 18:31:52 linux systemd[2014]: at-spi-dbus-bus.service: Killing process 2381 (at-spi-bus-laun) with signal SIGKILL. Apr 04 18:31:52 linux systemd[2014]: at-spi-dbus-bus.service: State 'stop-sigterm' timed out. Killing. Apr 04 18:30:23 linux systemd[1]: Stopped Restore /run/initramfs on shutdown. The above last tow lines shows the 90 seconds delay. ps shows: # ps -ef|grep at-spi 3555 2043 0 18:38 ? 00:00:00 /usr/lib/at-spi2/at-spi-bus-launcher 3560 3555 0 18:38 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/dbus-daemon --config-file=/usr/share/defaults/at-spi2/accessibility.conf --nofork --print-address 3 3562 2043 0 18:38 ? 00:00:00 /usr/lib/at-spi2/at-spi2-registryd --use-gnome-session There is no at-spi-dbus-bus service running but there is a at-spi-bus-launcher. I don't know how they are related. Maybe the delay occurs because there is no process to kill? How cold I fix this? The goal would be to get rid of the 90 seconds shutdown delay. Thanks in advance, Istvan
