Unzip, some years ago, when listing files in an archive, showed the
timestamp for those files in the format of MM-DD-YY. Now, unzip, when
listing files in an archive, shows the timestamp for those files in the
format of YYYY-MM-DD. This change in how unzip shows timestamps has caused
KDE3 ARK to show a messed up timestamp when viewing a ZIP archive.
Are there any plans to fix this? Has this already been fixed in some
version of kdeutils3-*x86_64.rpm that I haven't been able to find, even
though I've checked many kdeutils3-*x86_64.rpm packages going up to opensuse
15.3?
Alternatively, since one fix is simply adding statements to the C source for
ARK to convert unzip's new timestamp of YYYY-MM-DD to the old format of
MM-DD-YY before letting the rest of ARK's C source process that, but also
keeping in mind that I have no clue where to find that C source code for ARK
since I've had zero involvement in any KDE3 development and therefore have
no familiarity with how anything is structured or what the labels mean,
could someone point me to the exact C source for ARK where it processes the
unzip timestamps, so that I can fix ARK myself.
With great difficulty, I think I've found one or more ppd files for an HP Laser 2200D. They're all for various old
versions of Windows. Will any of them work in Leap? Trying to get some kind of printer going until I recover
from the lightning strike, and I'm pretty sure this boat anchor still works. One example is this:
LaserJet USB (DOT4) communication driver for HP LaserJet 2200d
This driver only solution provides DOT4 USB bi-directional
communication functionality on Windows 8 and higher operating
systems.
Thanx--doug
Hello List,
for quite some time, I've noticed that the permissions and group of
/var/log/lastlog (and sometimes a few others, like [bw]tmp) differ
from what chkstat expects. This is, of course, easily fixed with chmod
and chown, but the old permissions tend to re-appear after zypper
updates.
It's probably not really a problem, but does anyone know where the
diffence comes from?
Thanks,
A.

Hi,
I have Trouble with the touchpad while I type, almost since ever,
currently with XFCE in Leap 15.2. The touchpad activates randomly,
apparently touched by my hand and destroys what I typed.
I have in settings "Disable touch pad while typing" set to 2 seconds.
Type "SynPS/2 Synaptics Touchpad". Edge scrolling. This is supposed to
impede the trouble I have, but it does not.
If I type and I try to move the mouse pointer it doesn't respond till
two seconds have passed, which is a nuisance I would accept if it worked.
There are two types of incidents.
One, the cursor location suddenly moves several paragraphs up in the
middle of typing a word, thus within centiseconds. Certainly inside the
2 seconds protection.
Two, a large portion of the text I'm typing suddenly gets selected,
again in the middle of typing a word (I type fast), so that on the next
letter I type the entire highlight gets replaced with that next letter,
erasing at times all my work.
In the first case, I can select the offending text and move it to the
correct location, or hit undo. In the second case, I have to use undo,
so I don't actually lose my work.
Almost always it happens inside Thunderbird. At least, i don't remember
it happening in other apps.
It is possible that the protection I need is from accidental tap, not
accidental move.

Why doesn't this work:
dd bs=4M if=/home/doug/Downloads/Win10_21H1_English_x64 of=/dev/sda
Here is the downloaded file in /home/doug/Downloads:
-rw-r--r-- 1 doug users 5824122880 Jul 22 22:20 Win10_21H1_English_x64.iso
Here is the fail message:
dd: failed to open '/home/doug/Downloads/Win10_21H1_English_x64': No such file or directory
(Since I am IN that directory, I first tried without specifying the directory, but got the same failure.)
Confused as usual--doug
Good morning,
So, question. We use to have Evergreen which was going to be our LTS
version, so that when a distro reached the magical .3 in the release, we
could switch to Evergreen.
I haven't seen anything on it in while, has Evergreen stopped? Do we not
have any LTS version?
I am switching a lot of systems from openSUSE 42.3 to 15.3, and I am
saddened by the number of software packages that seem to have been removed.
One of the reasons I started using SuSE back in the day was, it had the
most packages, which was awesome.
Here is an example, Nginx has a log of module packages that are no longer
there. Oh, please don't tell me to go too software.opensuse.org, is great
only if people keep their software up-to-date. I don't know how many
packages I have found only to get that it going to do break major things.
Even Tumbleweed seems to be losing packages. Did I miss something?
By the way, I did try to sent this to opensuse-project(a)opensuse.org, but
got a bonus back fromn election-official-ower(a)list.opensuse.org, so not
sure what is up with that.

Hi,
all my encrypted external disks are with reiserfs. No I want to
read/write to one of them on my new pad and it says "unkonwn filesystem
type 'reiserfs'.
What do I have to install so that 15.3 remembers the forgotten system?
I installed
reiserfs-kmp-default
and libreiser4-1_2-1 and libaal-1_0-7
it can read the disks but not write to them.
What else do I need?
Need urgent help please, thanks!

Hello,
I just buy a 4k screen. Now my most usual setup is 27" 4k left, full HD
(laptop) center and full hd right.
The new screen should be used only for video editing, not always.
But my usual setup is completely changed by the new screen: even the
cursor size is changed (much bigger).
I use the "supplementary action" from kde to open my main applications
on the desktop I want (I have 10 of them), but fail to find a way to
have all my applications open in the "main" screen (as setup in the kde
panel), because the x coordinate changes
any hint?
thanks
NB: I still use 15.1, for some reason I can't make my system works as
expected in 15.3

Hi,
Steam is asking for python3-apt. The only package I see that I
have is python38-wrapt.
Is this the correct package. I don't know the name of the tumbleweed
version, and I don't
want to guess at it. Thanks,
mike
The largest Mushkin SSD I can purchase is 2 Terabytes. What are your
thoughts on a drive that may be within my needs. If following the
basic/standard COW protocol.
So seriously.. it's just a "desktop computer" thinking about a
brother-MFC-J485DW printer....someday..:|
I do not like Crucial nor others on information (What is the nicest SSD
for openSUSE TW currently?) Honestly I really do not like to support
many more companies than my 85.00 USD a month internet provider now.
<-You may get my drift.
I am hoping to put the massive (to me) into an old HP Lenovo m-91p -
Everything is fine now with the - well all of it really. Just wanting to
see what your thoughts are on SSD's and Copy on Write. ----COW---- Copy
on Write.
I thank you for your opinions.
--Finest Regards
