[oS-en] Can not open an existing mysql database in Libre Office. [and Solved]
by Carlos E. R. 22 Oct '22

22 Oct '22

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I'm trying to open an existing mysql database using LO. I'm following the tutorial for 7.3 https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/images/9/99/GS7308-GettingStartedWithBa… https://nextcloud.documentfoundation.org/s/BimPSBPLf3TRbTR I click "Create Base Database". I get a window exactly as in the tutorial, "Figure 93: Step 2 of Database Wizard: Set up MySQL connection" (<https://nextcloud.documentfoundation.org/s/BimPSBPLf3TRbTR>) I enter database details. It matches "Figure 94: Step 3 of Database Wizard: Set up MySQL server data", except on the database name, which is mine, of course: Biblioteca Server: localhost Then I have to enter user name, password required, exactly as "Figure 95: Step 4 of Database Wizard: Set up user authentication" says. On first attempt, I always get an error on connection test. Now I try to repeat in order to post the error, but Base is not colaborating. So I click "next". I select "Yes, register the database for me" and "open the database for editing", then Finish. And this time it works, I can save. The previous time the "finish" window did not disapear, and LO crashed. So I was typing this as I went through the details, to ask you... But this time all is working. Heisenbug. - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.

The repository devel:/languages:/python/15.3/ seems to have gone away. However, 15.4 and Tumbleweed are there. Anyone know the reason? -- Roger Oberholtzer

software.opensource.org search not working for 15.4 ?
by Mikhail Ramendik 17 Oct '22

17 Oct '22

Hello, So, I wanted to check out the kernel version in OpenSuse Leap 15.4. I go to https://software.opensuse.org/ , select Leap 15.4, enter "kernel"... and it finds nothing. For 15.2 it works. I tried other searches (plasma, mc, python, bash) with 15.4 selected. Still nothing. Is this system now deprecated and if it is, what replaces it?.. -- Yours, Misha Ramendik Unless explicitly stated, all opinions in my mail are my own and do not reflect the views of any organization

[oS-en] Thunderbird nuisance
by Carlos E. R. 17 Oct '22

17 Oct '22

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, Often when I change folder in Thunderbird the highlight goes to the top of the folder, instead of the bottom (new posts are at the bottom). Is there a way to make it always go to the bottom, or at least the previous position? Also, when I go to a folder, it expands one thread. Can this be disabled, and start always with all threads collapsed? - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.

System keyboard settings across reboots
by Chris Coutinho 17 Oct '22

17 Oct '22

Hello, I am running Tumbleweed+Gnome+x11 on a Lenovo x1carbon Gen8 with a US Intl keyboard (including *AltGr* and *€* keys on the number row), and I'm confused about how my system keyboard settings are persisted across reboots. In short, my machine uses "US International" as it's system keyboard, but the behavior reverts to something else(?) that Yast thinks is US International but behaves differently from what my intended behavior is. I often use accents in Dutch (é, ú, ü), which I prefer to type by using an apostrophe followed by the letter ('+e => é). This is possible when using "US International" as my system keyboard; however, for some reason this setting is not respected between reboots. After I reboot, my machine reverts to a "simpler" keyboard setting where '+e => 'e instead of é, even though Yast still reports that my system keyboard is set to "us-intl". > $ sudo yast keyboard summary > Current Keyboard Layout: us-int The only way I've found to reset my preference is through the Yast Keyboard GUI and re-selecting "US International" after logging on. This raises some questions: 1. Why doesn't my keyboard preference persist across reboots? 2. What "intermediate" keyboard setting is my machine reverting to between me re-selecting US International? 3. What is the difference between the System Keyboard Setting using Yast, and the drop-down available in Gnome (see screenshot linked below)? https://paste.opensuse.org/51920502 best, Chris

Advice on buying an old AMD FirePro graphics card
by Ianseeks 15 Oct '22

15 Oct '22

HI Not sure if this is the correct place to ask this. I'm currently using an old Nvidia card which sometimes makes horrible screaming noises when viewing videos. I've decided to go to AMD instead and looking at old cheap AMD Firepro cards (my system is old), I was just wondering if anyone has any experience of them on Tumbleweed and old Gigabyte (PCEe 2.0, AMD CPU) motherboards. What software do I have to install to get the open source AMD drivers I've got some Vulkan stuff already installed (not sure how as i've not used an AMD graphics card on this system) but there is lots of other software listed for Vulkan not installed. regards Ian -- opensuse:tumbleweed:20221008 Qt: 5.15.6 KDE Frameworks: 5.98.0 - KDE Plasma: 5.25.5 - kwin 5.25.5 kmail2 5.21.1 (22.08.1) - akonadiserver 5.21.1 (22.08.1) - Kernel: 6.0.0-1-default - xf86-video-nouveau: 1.0.17

How do I get RPM from branched package on my Build Service?
by David C. Rankin 14 Oct '22

14 Oct '22

All/Devs, I branched keepassxc and made the changes needed to install it with KDE3 without deleting the original keepassx. The build succeeds on build service, but I can't find the rpm. The Download link goes to my repository, but clicking the link says the repo isn't available: https://software.opensuse.org//download.html?project=home%3Adrankinatty%3Ab… Checking the direct repository: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/drankinatty:/branches:/ It's not there yet either? In the past within a minute or two after building the package would be in my repo, but there seems to be a hiccup. This is why I usually just build locally with rpmbuild -- at least then I can find the darn rpm when the build is done. Currently the build is finished for the 2nd time after cleaning up a RPM Lint complaint about the changelog, but still I can't seem to find the rpm. The only reason I used buildservice this time is the 15.4 Backport update .srpm will not build locally due to: error: Failed build dependencies: pkgconfig(libpcsclite) is needed by keepassxc-2.7.1-bp154.3.3.1.x86_64 There is no libpcsclite package available that provide the .pc file. No -devel, no nothing, just the libs -- which is why I tried build-service which succeeds, but hides how it did it behind the magic curtain. (do I have to hack a .pc file on my own for 15.4?) Anyway -- where do I find the rpm I just build on build service? It succeeded, it's just not in my repo or anywhere else I can find it. What's the trick? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

DDNS providers
by Roger Oberholtzer 13 Oct '22

13 Oct '22

I am looking at setting up a system that will need a domain name and DDNS. I'm curious what the current state of these things are in openSUSE. I guess the main thing is support for an application that informs the DDNS service of the current IP address for the machine. Any preferences? Providers to avoid? -- Roger Oberholtzer
