Thunderbird NNTP permission denied error.
by -pj 11 May '21

11 May '21

Opening the Thunderbird mail client today I was greeted with the following message. A news (NNTP) error occured: Permission denied: To much connection time. 1. I have been having some on again off again issues with the Eternal September Newsgroup server. I will send a message and get a notice that the message can not be sent. I have ended up sending messages message multiple times. Possibly causing distress to the specific group users. Eternal September Server Settings: Server Name > new.eternal-september.org > Port > 119 Eternal September Security Settings: Security Settings > Connection security > none I have added Newsgroup "news.aioe.org" and with this Newsgroup server test messages seem to be sent without error. The test messages sent through "news.aioe.org" do not seem to show in the Eternal September (news.eternal-september.org) mailbox promptly though. This seems to happen intermittently. Obviously due to my lack of experience this could be a settings issue of some nature on my end. I wanted to get your opinions on some possible solutions that I may be able to try to implement here. -Regards

Update error

Hi - I am running OpenSuSE 15.2 x64 on my laptop with the KDE Plasma desktop. I got an update notification yesterday for a security update for VLC but when I try to install it I get an error message - vlc-codecs-3.0.11.1-pm152.2.11.2.x86_64 requires vlc-noX = 3.0.11.1, but this requirement cannot be provided If the Packman repository is needed to resolve this issue then I have another problem to resolve. If I try to enable and use the Packman repository I get the following error - An error occurred during repository initialization. SKIP request: User-requested skipping of a file History: - Permission to access 'http://packman.inode.at/suse/openSUSE_Leap_15.2/repodata/repomd.xml' denied. What do I need to do to resolve these problems? Thanks in advance for any advice.

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

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.

Working with KDE Wallet System: Storing Network Manager passphrase:
by -pj 09 May '21

09 May '21

I am interested in your thoughts about using the 'KDE Wallet system' or at least reviewing more about it. I see that if I proceed to setup with KMail there is an option to use the KDE wallet system also. Activating the machines wireless capability through: > System Settings > Network > Connections > Wi-Fi Security > Password > Store Password for this user only (encrypted) (entered password) > Apply > Exit (top right) > Powercycled. No passphrase appears stored. KDE Desktop > 'Wi-Fi password dialog window - KDE Daemon' asks for password again....no connection. I notice that I can set password and store password for all users (not encrypted). Powercycle...no problem...password remembered. Except. 1. Where is the location of this none encrypted password file? If I decide to go this route (it's known to work). How to revert on this - remove this stored password for all users once this step is performed? 2. Any idea on as to why: > Store Password for this user only (encrypted) (entered password) > Apply > Exit (top right) > Powercycled. < Does not seem to store passphrase? 3. Could I ask for a preferred link in regards to openSUSE for the KDE Wallet system (Using TDE here). It seems this is basically a subtle nuance nevertheless it seems to exist that is why I am asking. -Wishes

how can i limit my screen resolution?
by Mathias Homann 08 May '21

08 May '21

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 08 May '21

08 May '21

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 08 May '21

08 May '21

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 :|

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 08 May '21

08 May '21

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 :|
