Issue with gvim package
by Milhouse Vanhouten 05 Jul '21

05 Jul '21

Hi, I'm using Tumbleweed on RPi 4 and the gvim package is pretty hopeless. Not sure if this is related to the platform I'm running, or if it's just buggy. If any OpenSuse developers are reading this, please take note of the following: 1. The only gvim available in Tumbleweed repo is the one with Gtk3. The Gtk3 GUI is painfully jerky/laggy when scrolling lines of text. Debian for example, have Gtk2 and Gtk3 versions of gvim. Could someone please do the same for OpenSuse. 2. There is a really annoying bug with OpenSuse gvim. When I split the window vertically, there is no scroll bar visible on the right window, the left window has a correct scroll bar. This looks like a GUI bug of some sort, but it has been like this for quite some time now. Does anyone use gvim on Tubleweed and can confirm the same issue?

Bluetooth pairing, Leap 15.3/KDE-Plasma
by Peter McD 05 Jul '21

05 Jul '21

Hi, My USB-Bluetooth adapter can't pair with my bluetooth headset. It worked in Leap 15.2. The bluetooth assistant, i.e. the bluetooth applet searches for the headset, but doesn't find it. hwinfo (below) outputs much information, I hope I found the interesting bit. Any ideas?

grup screen wrong rotation
by Daniel Bauer 04 Jul '21

04 Jul '21

I installed OS 15.3 on a Lenovo Ideapad Duet 3. One problem is that the grub menu, all boot messages, the decryption passphrase and the KDE-login screen are shown rotated (instead of up to down the lines go left to right). I put fbcom=rotate:1 and also tried video=efifb fbcon=rotate_all They have no effect. What else can I try? -- Daniel Bauer photographer Basel Málaga https://www.patreon.com/danielbauer https://www.daniel-bauer.com

Repositories whitelist
by Ciro Iriarte 03 Jul '21

03 Jul '21

Hello!, In an isolated environment I would like to avoid VMs accessing Internet directly to grab updates. I'll probably create a local mirror with The Foreman + Katello, but meanwhile I'll force the use of an HTTP proxy. The proxy I'm using (embedded in OPNsense) allows dynamic whitelists, where the firewall can grab the list from an URL. Are there official repositories lists for OpenSUSE that I could use to feed it?. Regards, CI.-

Sound card configuration problem
by Wolfgang Mueller 03 Jul '21

03 Jul '21

I recently installed Leap 15.3 on my computers "hp" and "se" Configuring the sound cards by yast worked on "se" only, whereas on "hp" the following error message appears: ================================================================= An error occurred during the installation of GP107GL High Definition Audio Controller The kernel module snd-hda-intel for sound support could not be loaded. This can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters. ================================================================== The same for the other sound card, called "Cannon Lake PCH cAVS". How can I correct the kernel module snd-hda-intel and provide correct module, IO, or IRQ parameters? Thank you in advance for your help. Best regards, Wolfgang

Missing ibm850 charset in Thunderbird

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I received an email using this charset: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="ibm850" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Thunderbird is unable to handle it right, accented letters (áéíóú plus ñÑ) are displayed wrong, no matter what charset I choose in View/Text Encoding.

How to make xinput set-prop permanent, + 1 more
by Daniel Bauer 02 Jul '21

02 Jul '21

So I managed to have the touchscreen rotated, using xinput set-prop pointer:'ELAN901C:00 04F3:2Bd6' 'Coordinate Transformation Matrix' 0 1 0 -1 0 1 0 0 1 questions: 1) how do I make this setting permanent, so that it is applied again after a fresh boot? I've read to make a file like "50-touchscreen.conf" in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ but obviously I used a wrong syntax as I could not login to the graphical system anymore after reboot. If this is the way to go, can anybody point me to the correct syntax, or tell me the correct way to make this setting permanent, please? 2) The Icon-Starters on the Desktop usually do not react (the don't get marked nor start the desired app). All the other things work (I can move windows, mark text, touch things in dolphin, firefox etc.). However in one exception desktop-icon-touch works: When I first touch an open window, and after that touch an icon, it works (app starts) as it should. But /only/ if I first touch an open window, and only once, directly after touching that window. Any ideas?
