Problem with software raid and Tumbleweed
by Markus Egg 15 Sep '21

15 Sep '21

Hello, I got Tumbleweed Snapshot20210115 and wanted to install it on a rather old machine with a software raid1 (UEFI raid). On this raid some Windows 10 is already existing. The installer of Tumbleweed Snapshot20210115 does not recognize this software raid1. It only shows single harddiscs and no raid volume. An older snapshot 20190704 is able to see that software raid1 but I cannot do any zypper dup with that one (this version was running previously before some hardware crash). Any help for that - either a snapshot which can handle software raid1 or some way to set zypper dup running again with the older snapshot? BR and thanks in advance Markus

Sluggish Seamonkey
by James Knott 13 Sep '21

13 Sep '21

I use Seamonkey for email and I've noticed it's sometimes very sluggish when I press a key or move the mouse. It someties takes several seconds to respond. If I kill & restart it, it works OK for a while. Other apps don't seem to have the problem. Anyone else seen this? Running on Leap 15.3 & KDE tnx jk

access windows partition
by Douglas McGarrett 31 Aug '21

31 Aug '21

I used to be able to access the windows partition and read/write to it. I have a very new win 10 version-- OS build 19041.1165 with experience pack 120.2212.3530.0. I have turned off the hibernate, as far as I can tell, but I still cannot access Windows. What am I dong wrong, or has MS "fixed" it? --doug

1-click install on remote server
by David T-G 30 Aug '21

30 Aug '21

Hi, all -- I have a desktop with KDE, and over in the closet I have a server. Conveniently, when I run yast2 in my xterm running an ssh session to the server, I get the YaST GUI up on my desktop screen; yay. But ... Is there a way to run the 1-click install remotely in much the same fashion? If I click on my desktop workstation, of course, it tries to install here, but I want it there. Can I download the 1-click content and run YaST on it, maybe? TIA & HAND :-D -- David T-G See http://justpickone.org/davidtg/email/ See http://justpickone.org/davidtg/tofu.txt

That is true, I have one tv tuner, brand new, that doesn't do exfat :-( However, the exfat support in Linux I think is better than ntfs.

openSUSE 15.3 KDE & Polkit without root
by Ciro Iriarte 29 Aug '21

29 Aug '21

Hello!, I need to use VMware Remote Console in 15.3 with KDE with users that don't hold root password. Currently kdesu asks for the root password while launching it, if I cancel the prompt it starts fine so I assume it's related to optional features like USB devices access. The users accessing this machine cannot be given root, I can setup sudo at most if needed. Reading around found some references to polkit (I'm clueless about it) and changing the "elevation" method for kdesu from su to sudo in a user profile (I need it system wide). Can anyone provide some guidance on the best way to solve this? Regards, CI.-

cups print problem
by Istvan Gabor 28 Aug '21

28 Aug '21

Hello: This occurs in openSUSE Leap 15.1 with its default cups version (CUPS 2.2.7). I have a HP Laserjet P3015 printer attached to the computer via USB cable. The print queue setup is OK and many times printing occurs without any problem. But occasionally the printer completely freezes when I try to print something. I could not find out yet what causes the printer freezes. When the printer is frozen it doesn't print and even does not respond to any of its buttons. When this occurs the print job is halted and is stored in the print queue: > lpstat -o laserjet-3847 unknown 80896 Tue 10 Aug 2021 11:15:14 AM CEST > lpstat -p printer laserjet now printing laserjet-3847. enabled since Tue 10 Aug 2021 11:15:14 AM CEST Processing page 1... Here is my problem (apart from the printer freeze): If I restart (switch off and on) the printer, the print job is waiting quite long before printed. Eventually it gets printed but is takes several minutes. I would expect that after restarting the printer the print job is printed immediately. How could I achieve that? In /etc/cups/printers.conf file the ErrorPolicy is set to retry-job for the printer: <Printer laserjet> ... ErrorPolicy retry-job </Printer> Thanks in advance, Istvan

Thunderbird on 15.3
by Frans de Boer 28 Aug '21

28 Aug '21

LS, I am still using Leap 15.2 due to all the negative messages about 15.3. However, currently Thunderbird under 15.2 is now so old, that it won't work anymore with data processed under Tumbleweed (they used to share the same data directory - just to avoid double the data and maintenance effort). Has anybody experience with this setup using leap 15.3 and Tumbleweed? Regards, Frans. -- A: Yes, just like that A: Ja, net zo Q: Oh, Just like reading a book backwards Q: Oh, net als een boek achterstevoren lezen A: Because it upsets the natural flow of a story A: Omdat het de natuurlijke gang uit het verhaal haalt Q: Why is top-posting annoying? Q: Waarom is Top-posting zo irritant?

bad checksum file for openSUSE-Leap-15.3-DVD-x86_64-Current.iso
by Marc Chamberlin 28 Aug '21

28 Aug '21

Hello - Dunno if anyone cares to pay attention to a small detail but the sha256 checksum file at https://download.opensuse.org/distribution/leap/15.3/iso/openSUSE-Leap-15.3… references the wrong file. It is a small fix, just change the name to include the "Current" in the reference name since that is in the name of the associated iso download file. I didn't check but it might be wise to check other checksum files as well.
