"This video cannot be played"
by Douglas McGarrett 27 May '22

27 May '22

I have received a number of messages from various sources with a video attached, but across the face of what must be the first screen, is the message, "This video cannot be played." I'm curious--what kind of video is being sent that cannot be player, and why? --doug

[opensuse] Memtest & UEFI
by James Knott 26 May '22

26 May '22

In openSUSE 15.1, memtest, as installed, would not work with UEFI. Has this been fixed in 15.2? There is a version on the memtest website that will work with it. tnx jk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

Unplanned reboot fried sound card?
by Michael Fischer 30 Mar '22

30 Mar '22

Today I had the pleasure of my computer shutting down without warning. It came back up mostly fine, except that my sound card no longer seems to work. It is recognized in Yast, and thinks it is the primary card, yet the (amp, speakers) do not seem to get a signal from it. `aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/test.wav` or a video from a browser now send sound to a small builtin speaker on the computer. Is it possible to determine if the card itself is destroyed? Clearly yast, etc. still recognize it.

thunderbird not forwarding messages with yahoo mail
by George from the tribe 30 Mar '22

30 Mar '22

Howdy, I have some email that comes in through a yahoo email account that I want to set up automatic forwarding to a different email account. Can't do that on yahoo anymore, as they removed that feature for free accounts. So I wanted to do that in thunderbird by setting up a filter that automatically forwards certain emails coming into that account. Problem is, when it tries to forward the emails, it tries to login to yahoo separately and something goes wrong... there is no problem with me manually forwarding all of those emails, but I can't get it to work on the automatic forward. It says that it fails to login, so I have to click that to acknowledge the failure, then it asks me for a new password, even though the old password works for regular email us. Any ideas? -- George Box: TW | Plasma 5 | AMD Ryzen 9 | 64 | 32GB Laptop: TW | Plasma 5 | Intel EVO | 64 | 32GB

Need a new hard disk.
by Carlos E. R. 22 Mar '22

Hi, One of my 4TB disks in my miniserver is failing. Unrecoverable errors, says smartctl, and growing. I have disconnected it till I get a replacement. And here are my doubts. Looking at Seagate at my local supplier, 4 to 6 TB, I see a variety and higher prices than I remember. <https://www.pccomponentes.com/discos-duros/3-5-pulgadas/4-tb/5-tb/6-tb/hdd-…> Seagate Exos 7E8 3.5" 6TB SATA 3/SAS 258,69€ Seagate IronWolf NAS 6TB 3.5" SATA3 172,26€ Seagate IronWolf Pro NAS 3.5" 6TB SATA3 250,62€ Seagate SkyHawk 6TB 3.5" SATA3 (svlnc) 151,38€ Seagate Barracuda 3.5" 6TB SATA 3 144,84€ 24€/TB Seagate Exos 7E8 3.5" 4TB SATA3 199,87€ Seagate IronWolf NAS 4TB SATA3 104,05€ Seagate IronWolf Pro 4TB NAS 144,09€ Seagate SkyHawk 4TB 3.5" SATA3 (svlnc) 96,93€ Seagate BarraCuda 3.5" 4TB SATA3 81,53€ 20.3€/TB * I believe I have the last one (model ST4000DM000) - it is powered off, can't look details except on the logs. The 6TB version of such disk is quite more expensive per gigabyte. The questions is, what advantages or disadvantages has each family? It is confusing.

optional updates in Leap
by gumb 20 Mar '22

20 Mar '22

I see in YaST Online Update (Leap 15.3) currently three items in the Optional category with similar descriptions, e.g. openSUSE-SLE-15.3-2022-781 - Optional update for SUSE Package Hub This optional update provides the following changes: - Provide binaries for non x86_64 architectures directly to SUSE Package Hub. - There are no visible changes for the final user. - Affected source packages: MozillaThunderbird, enigmail References: MSC-303 (jira) : https://jira.suse.com/browse/MSC-303 --------- I don't really understand what the implication is here. I'm on x86_64, so is it suggesting that other non-x86_64 packages have been added that weren't there before, and there's some minor version numbering difference or something that forces my existing installed packages to see some kind of upgrade, even though it isn't a real upgrade? I don't know what to make of it otherwise. gumb

Authorization in CUPS fails in google-chrome-stable
by Jos van Kan 20 Mar '22

20 Mar '22

Hello, For reasons that do not matter right now I moved from FF to GCS as my default browser. A day ago I ran into printer problems that I usually addres by use of CUPS. Much to my dismay I could not do any aignificant work because of lack of authorization. Ordinarily a popup appears to let you enter credentials but it did not. After a day of hairpulling and spelunking the net i chanced on a message of some good soul who wrote that he had the same problem with chromium and that switching to a different browser solved it. Much to my surprise he was right. I went back to FF and there it was: the popup for my credentials. There ought to be a law that this should not happen. :) FF rocks! I wonder what particular bug triggers this behavior in GCS. But in case you run into something similar here's this one more thing to try. Regards, Jos -- Jos van Kan registered Linux user #152704

Another dumb question
by Stevens 19 Mar '22

19 Mar '22

I haven't found the answer yet... If my wifi goes down, then powers back on, my system (OS 15.0, wicked) doesn't detect it and will sit there until I manually restart the service. Isn't something supposed to be running that makes that process automatic? Yeah, I know it's one of those really stupid simple things but I just cannot remember and searching the web hasn't been much help. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks ...

[oS-en] Is it possible to trigger some job when hibernation fails?
by Carlos E. R. 18 Mar '22

18 Mar '22

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Yesterday night I told the machine to hibernate and left the room. This morning I came back and found the machine running, using electricity. Hibernation had failed, reason not clear. It is not the first time. I don't care for the reason, usually a second try succeeds. But I have to notice. Waiting is not it, sometimes hibernation just takes long to complete. I want to know when it failed. The log does show it failed. What I want is to trigger some script when it fails. The script will tell me, somehow, like ringing a bell. How do I launch that script? Long ago we decided there was no way to do it. Is there now some way? To hibernate, I do, as root: sudo /usr/bin/systemctl hibernate which always return before completing.
