reiserfs

I know. Reiserfs is deprecated and is no longer supported, but some things that I have seen on the network lead me to believe that it may be possible to download the necessary files and (at least temporarily) enable it, at least long enough to copy the files off. This would be a big help in recovering some old filesystems. Does anyone have documentation on exactly how to do this?

file manager used to save in chrome
by George from the tribe 05 Jan '22

05 Jan '22

In the latest update in 15.2, something changed in the way I save files downloaded from the internet when in Chrome, or a Chrome based browser like Brave. It used to use Dolphin file manager, and that is much more convenient, because it requires less clicks to change the file name. Now it switched to the file manager that Gnome uses - I guess its Nautilus. I don't use Gnome very much, but I have it installed and sometimes go into it if there is something I need it for, so I have to keep the gnome base packages on my system. So how do you set Chrome so that it opens up the Dolphin file manager when you want to save a file from the internet? -- George Box: 15.2 | Plasma 5 | AMD Phenom IIX4 | 64 | 32GB Laptop #1: 15.2 | Plasma 5 | AMD FX 7TH GEN | 64 | 32GB Laptop #2: TW | Plasma 5 | Core i7 | 64 | 16GB

Hello: Up to openSUSE Leap 15.1 I could install Adobe Reader 9.5.5 (acroread) and I used it frequently to print documents. In Leap 15.3 I could not Adobe Reader make work. What program can I use for printing pdf documents, which has such options as "Fit to Printable Area" and "Shrink to Printable Area" in Adobe Reader? For example when I printed letter sized document on A4 paper I could use the Shrink to Printable Area option to make sure the whole page is printed (though with little bit smaller scale). Thanks, Istvan
