Vietnamese virtual keyboard
by Jon Cosby 01 Nov '22

01 Nov '22

I'm traveling to Vietnam next month and I'm looking for a Vietnamese virtual keyboard for my laptop. I can only find it online, I want a local VK. I don't want to configure the physical keyboard. I just want something for passwords and URLs. Anybody have a suggestion? I have Leap 15.4 and GNOME 41.2. Jon Cosby

xrdb and display:0
by Roger Oberholtzer 01 Nov '22

01 Nov '22

I use x11vnc and a vnc client to connect to remote Linux desktops from other Linux computers. I have no problem connecting to display :0. As such, I can remotely access that desktop and help users with support and such. I would like Windows clients to be able to do the same. So I have installed Xrdp. And I can get a desktop from the Linux computer (Leap 15.3). There are two problems I do not seem to be able to solve: 1. I can only get icewm. I want KDE. I have tried editing /etc/xrdp/startwm.sh so that it should start plasma. But it does not work. 2. I cannot get it to share display:0. In fact, that's what I really want. It is running the desktop I am really after. I have tried things like making my own definition in Xrdp that should access display:0, based on various suggestions. No go. My question is: has anyone gotten either of these things to work? Or, should I install a Windows client and access x11vnc? I have been trying not to need to install software on the Windows clients if at all possible. But I can if Xrdp won't do as I would like. -- Roger Oberholtzer

You can either choose a direct mirror or given it a while and see if the issue is resolved. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, Is there there a tutorial or doc for LO table views? I can't find it.

startkde: Could not start kdeinit5. Check your installation.
by Marc Chamberlin 29 Oct '22

29 Oct '22

Hello - I have a recalcitrant computer running OpenSuSE 15.3 that is refusing to start the KDE/Plasma desktop. After login I get a dialog box saying "startkde: Could not start kdeinit5. Check your installation." Despite the fact that the KDE/Plasma desktop won't start, I can SSH into the system and everything else (processes, services) I want running do start up OK. In the file /var/log/warn I do see a couple of messages that are of concern, one in particular - > 2022-10-24T21:58:44.060159-07:00 nova ksplashqml[2832]: > QCoreApplication::arguments: Please instantiate the QApplication > object first > 2022-10-24T21:58:44.121497-07:00 nova startplasma-x11[2751]: > "/usr/lib64/libexec/kf5/start_kdeinit_wrapper" ("--kded", > "+kcminit_startup") exited with code 127 The startplasma-x11 error is the one I think I should be most concerned about. Google tells me that an exit with code 127 means there is a missing or unreadable file. I checked to see if "/usr/lib64/libexec/kf5/start_kdeinit_wrapper" exists and it does. > nova:/usr/lib64/libexec/kf5 # ll /usr/lib64/libexec/kf5/start_kdeinit* > -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 10616 Aug 26 2021 > /usr/lib64/libexec/kf5/start_kdeinit > -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 6376 Aug 26 2021 > /usr/lib64/libexec/kf5/start_kdeinit_wrapper start_kdeinit_wrapper is not a txt file so I am unable to inspect it any further. I also searched for a file called "kcminit_startup" and found it at > nova:/ # find /usr -name kcminit_startup -print > /usr/bin/kcminit_startup I also ran zypper up to make sure I had all the latest versions of software installed on this system, and I used YaST2 to find any package with files that had "kdeinit" in their provides or file lists and forced those packages to be updated as well. That is about as far as my debugging skills can take me, any kind gurus around who can help me get this beast going? Thanks as always, in advance.

How to delete obs page
by Klaus Vink Slott 25 Oct '22

25 Oct '22

Hi does any of you know: I received a friendly reminder if I could remove my project from Open Build Service as I have not used it for long. Indeed I have not and I have checked that others have now made packages for the same software. Problem now is that I cant find out how to delete it via the project page on build.opensuse.org. I found the "Actions on this page" and used "Request delete" but that just sends me another email request to delete it. Will the project still be deleted automatically in NN days - or will my own request to delete it now be counted as project activity, and upset the deletion :-( -- Regards Klaus
