I am thinking of buying Raspberry Pi 4 Model B 8GB with 7 or 10 inch touch screen display in June 2021

by Turritopsis Dohrnii Teo En Ming

Subject: I am thinking of buying Raspberry Pi 4 Model B 8GB with 7 or 10 inch touch screen display in June 2021 Good day from Singapore, I am thinking of buying Raspberry Pi 4 Model B 8GB with 7 or 10 inch touch screen display in June 2021. Raspberry Pi 4 Model B - 8GB (Latest) - Price SGD$120 https://sg.cytron.io/c-raspberry-pi/c-raspberry-pi-main-board/c-raspberry-p… Raspberry Pi 7 Inch Touch Screen Display With SmartiPi Case - Price SGD$147 https://sg.cytron.io/c-raspberry-pi/c-raspberry-pi-display/c-display-for-rp… Do you think it is a good match? I want to use my Raspberry Pi like a regular laptop or desktop computer. Would a 7 inch touch screen display be too small for my use case? I don't want to strain my eyes looking at a small display. However, if I get a 10 inch touch screen display, I can't find one with a supporting base. I can't find a 10 inch touch screen display with a supporting base which could allow the screen to stand vertically. Finally, does your Linux distribution support Raspberry Pi 4 Model B 8 GB? Can I do 4K Ultra HD video editing on the Raspberry Pi 4 Model B 8 GB? Like adding watermarks, and cutting away unwanted 4K scenes. Is there a good 4K video editing software for Linux? I am looking forward to your reply. Thank you very much. Mr. Turritopsis Dohrnii Teo En Ming, 43 years old as of 9th May 2021, is a TARGETED INDIVIDUAL living in Singapore.

how can i limit my screen resolution?

by Mathias Homann

Hey guys, I just got me a new laptop, so now I need to limit my screen resolution. ...the new laptop has a 14" 4K display, I really don't need 3840x2160 on that little screen - FullHD should be more than enough, expecially when that means better performance in games. I know I can switch the resolution on a per user basis in Plasma or Gnome, but how can I limit the whole thing to "only" 1920x1080? As in, even gdm/sddm runs at that resolution? Back in the olden days I'd put that in /etc/X11/xorg.conf or somewhere like that, but nowadays that file doesn't exist and everything's autodetected... Any suggestions?

add group cdrom for K3b?

by -pj

Hi, I installed K3b on my 32 bit and 64 bit (TDE) computers and decided to test how the application performed. Settings > Configure K3b > Devices > Displays the following error: * Optical Devices In order to give K3b full access to the writer device the current user needs be added to a group cdrom. The Permission helper that could do this for you was not enabled during build. Please rebuild the package with the Permission helper enabled or contact your distribution. * K3b was able on both machines (32 and 64 bit TDE) to complete the burning of an .iso and verify without incident. I attached a screenshot of the error message here. > https://susepaste.org/26598876 1. How can I enable this permission helper that is spoke of? 2. How should I go about adding a cdrom group? I am not seeing the capability in (YaST > Control Center > Security and Users > User and Group Management >) most likely I am missing something about how to use this particular module. 3. Do I need to uninstall K3b and reinstall again (once a group cdrom is added)? 4. Will removing K3b and the dependencies of K3b through YaST Software Manager create potential dependency problems? 5. I was looking at this YaST CD-ROM Drives module page: > https://en.opensuse.org/YaST_CD-ROM_Drives Most likely I am missing something in the YaST - User and Group Management section. Is there a preferred openSUSE Wiki Portal on this topic of adding groups and users through YaST? I looked at this information briefly and it refers to a CD-ROM Drives module: > https://en.opensuse.org/YaST_CD-ROM_Drives < Seems to be not relevant most likely. What are your thoughts on this matter? -Regards

How to Hold/Lock a specific kernel in place openSUSE TW?

by -pj

I recently attempted to Hold/Lock a specific kernel in place on openSUSE TW. My hardware is 32 bit so I am currently inhibited by having to load a specific kernel-release (a newer release is not allowing the computer to boot). See the following link if you are interested in more details on the filed bug report: -> https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1185542 I edited the following file with Kate text editor /etc/zypp/zypp.conf scrolled down to line 554 and edited the following entry to: multiversion.kernels = latest,running,5.11.16-1-pae " Keep the last two kernels and the one currently running. multiversion.kernels = latest,running,5.11.16-1-pae " I saved the edited file and closed Kate. I then opened /etc/zypp/zypp.conf and verified that in fact the entry I created had been saved. Then I powercycled the computer (maybe twice I am not certain-most likely only once). Needless to say that the boot menu has no more listing for "kernel-5.11.16-1-pae". There were 2 listing's for kernel-5.12.series (both unbootable). I have been reviewing the following link concerning this: > https://documentation.suse.com/sles/12-SP4/html/SLES-all/cha-tuning-multike… 1. I really would like to ask as to if the reason for failing to hold the "kernel-5.11.16-1-pae" was/is this because of the fact I edited the zypp.conf file's entry incorrectly by adding the "kernel-flavor" suffix (5.11.16-1-pae <-Not Entering-> 5.11.16-1) instead? 2. What is the best way to Hold/Lock the running kernel? 3. is YaST2 sometimes used for this task? Thanks :|

Forcing a specific kernel to be installed on openSUSE TW:

by -pj

I followed the following instructions (listed below) in an attempt to install a specific kernel on my laptop computer which I downloaded from the following webpage: > https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/tiwai:/kernel:/5.11/standa… Completing the Instructions below. I powercycled the laptop and it loaded into the bootmenu now listing multiple kernels -BUT- not kernel-default-5.11.16-1.1.ge06d321.i586.rpm (Which I intended to be installed). I have tried entering the following in Konsole's - bash terminal command line as root user (su -)as follows: localhost:~ # zypper install --oldpackage kernel-default-5.11.16-1.1.ge06d321.i586 Loading repository data... Reading installed packages... Resolving package dependencies... The following NEW package is going to be installed: kernel-default-5.11.16-1.1.ge06d321 The following package requires a system reboot: kernel-default-5.11.16-1.1.ge06d321 1 new package to install.

These will >> never be in the repos. > > Very bad idea to use commercial packages with Tumbleweed, that is asking for trouble. I will explain, again, how you do this. 1) Create a directory, for example /home/doug/extrarepository/ 2) Copy all the rpms from that commercial thing into that directory. 3) start yast as root in graphic mode: su - yast2 4) Start the "Software repository" module 5) Click the button "Add repository" 6) on the list that appears, click "Local directory", then [next]. 7.0) On "repository name" put whatever you like. 7.1) On path to directory, you write the path (/home/doug/extrarepository/). 7.2) Click on "Plain rpm directory" 7.3) [NEXT] It thinks for a while, and if all goes well, you click [OK]. Now, you have created your own private repository for external packages. Next, install those packages. 1) On YaST, click "Software management module 2) On view, select "repositories". 3.0) On repositories, you will see a list of repositories on the left panel. Select the repository you created. 3.1) On the right panel, you will see the list of packages in that repository. If it is empty, exit YaST, run "zypper refresh --force" and try yast2 again. 3.2) select the package, solve the dependencies if needed, accept and finish. Done. ======================================================================================================

libdvdcss source package in repository?

by -pj

Hi, I have added the following repository with YaST: > Software Repositories > Add > HTTP > Next > Repository Name - libdvdcss2 > URL of the Repository - https://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/packman/suse/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/Essenti… Priority 99 (Default) Both Enabled and Autorefresh are both ticked/checkmarked. The Name is listed as libdvdcss2 also. Clicked OK to exit. Then opened Software Managment > Repositories > libdvdcss2 > Empty (no contents) I passed the following command in Konsole: zypper se -s libdvd Loading repository data... Reading installed packages... S | Name | Type | Version | Arch | Repository --+------------------+------------+-----------+--------+------------------------ | libdvdcss | srcpackage | 1.4.2-1.3 | noarch | libdvdcss2 | libdvdnav-devel | package | 6.1.0-1.6 | i586 | openSUSE-Tumbleweed-Oss i | libdvdnav4 | package | 6.1.0-1.6 | i586 | openSUSE-Tumbleweed-Oss | libdvdread-devel | package | 6.1.1-1.6 | i586 | openSUSE-Tumbleweed-Oss i | libdvdread8 | package | 6.1.1-1.6 | i586 | openSUSE-Tumbleweed-Oss lines 1-10/10 (END) It appears a source package of libdvdcss is in fact installed on the machine. Is this the package that the above repository contains? Is it best to install both of the following packages libdvdcss and libdvdcss2? I would like to compile the above listed package but I am curious as to if I have done a step incorrectly up to this point. I am also of course wondering if it would be best to install package libdvdcss2 as well. I do notice by using VLC that the same dvd medium I previously tried "Plays the same movie as before with no libdvdcss instance installed". Switching to a different dvd medium results in no playback at all. The drive is certainly activated when the VLC media play key is clicked. I verified with "lsblk" I have the correct block device selected also. Suggestions on this would be a great help. Regards :|

libdvdcss2 not required for DVD playback anymore?

by -pj

I was working with my Compaq nc-6400 laptop yesterday (openSUSE TW) and I installed the "Packman Essentials" repository also "libdvdcss2" from the following links I have documented. Packman Essentials -> "https://en.opensuse.org/Additional_package_repositories" I am seeing now that the openSUSE TW portal located here "https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Tumbleweed" has maybe a better link for "Packman Essentials" under the "Multimedia Codecs" section. Than what I have been using currently. My main question here is perhaps the following: Is the "libdvdcss2" repository needed for DVD playback anymore? libdvdcss2 -> https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/523474-Multimedia-Guide-for-open… I ended up removing the "libdvdcss2" repository (for some reason) then (I am not sure if it was necessary) Powercycled the laptop. VLC media player loaded the movie DVD perfectly with no notable problems/issues detected. How can this be? I made certain and saw with "zypper lr" that there is absolutely no "libdvdcss2" repository left on the computer. Is it not necessary anymore for DVD/CD playback? At this time the computer is unbootable due to a bug in the "5.12.0-1-pae kernel" but ugh I would like to get your thoughts even if brief on this maybe. Thanks

by J Leslie Turriff

I'm getting ready to upgrade my desktop (TDE) to the newest stable release, using zypper dup. Should I include --solver-focus=Update or leave it to the --solver-focus=Job default? Leslie -- openSUSE Leap 15.2 x86_64
