Zoom on Tumbleweed
by Peter Suetterlin 02 Jun '22

02 Jun '22

Hi list, is anyone else having issues with the latest zoom (5.10.0-2450) on Tumbleweed? It keeps crashing on me, directly at start, even the crash report form doesn't stay on screen, but vanishes before I can type in anything.

"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

Upgrade of 15.3 to 15.4 (beta? rc?) went fine
by cagsm 21 May '22

21 May '22

Users, upgrading online some 15.3 to 15.4 just today (beta? rc?) via zypper and golbal parameter --releasever=15.4 went fine over here with a rather simple test system. Too bad 15.4 is very conservative and old in various software versions and so on. Is a tumbleweed more suited when not wanting to risk stability and not opting in for data loss? ty

TW fish filesystem bug in Dolphin.
by Ariez Vachha - openSUSE 17 May '22

17 May '22

TW fish filesystem bug in dolphin. Dolphin tries to open directories such as conf.d as a regular file when clicked on. Navigating via the address bar works fine. The underlying sshfs fused filesystem is working fine i.e. F4 open terminal in Dolphin and changing directory works fine. How to reproduce: 1. Open fish://server.com/some-dir/ 2. Open directory with .d extension by clicking Expected result; directory opens in dolphin Observed result; dolphin tries to open the directory as a regular file. Regards, Ariez ajv(a)opensuse.org

Perl modules install with RPM versus CPAN
by Bill Merriam 12 May '22

12 May '22

When something I am installing requires a list of perl modules I have to figure out how to install them. I first have to search the rpm repositories for the module. If the module is available in rpm repositories I can use zypper to install it. Other times I have to use CPAN to install it. Does anyone know of a script that will install a list of modules by searching for it and installing from the necessary location? Bill

External USB disks not recognized - Leap 15.3
by Per Inge Oestmoen 29 Apr '22

29 Apr '22

Hello. I use openSUSE Leap 15.3. Trouble is, when I attach USB sticks from 16-128 GB there are no problems. They are mounted and read immediately upon being attached. When I attach large external USB disks, there is a different story. The disks most often do not show up. Sometimes they do, but most times I must read the disks (formatted with EXT4, FAT32 and EXFAT) on a Mac laptop in order to access them. Which, admittedly, makes me ashamed. The question is why this happens. To elucidate the problem, I have typed fdisk -l and dmesg, and the results are in the links below. I shall be extremely thankful if you can have a look at these outputs and see if you can spot the source of my problem. If these files do not provide a clue, please tell me what commands I should try next. In both cases, an external disk was attached. However, the system failed to see it. The fdisk -l output: http://www.coldsiberia.net/technics/fdisk_l_21042022.txt The dmesg output: http://www.coldsiberia.net/technics/dmesg_21042022.txt Sincerely, Per Inge Oestmoen, Norway

TW: mutt no longer showing special characters
by Peter Suetterlin 26 Apr '22

26 Apr '22

Hi list, Since one of the latest updates of my TW computers(*) mutt (running in XTerm, but it's the same in konsole) no longer is showing special characters (like accented ones). Are others seeing that, too? Any hints what to look for? I didn't change any of my settings... (*) one is running TW20220421/mutt 2.2.3, the other one TW20220419/mutt 2.1.5 With LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 I get, e.g., "ZurÃ¼ck", LANG=en_DE.UTF-8 displays it as two questionmarks, "Zur??ck"

on 15.4: any new fancy additional or differings repos?
by cagsm 25 Apr '22

25 Apr '22

I remember making the switch from 15.2 to 15.3, it was very messy in the early days in the rc stages or something, or at least me, I was not aware that there were those brand new backports and sle-update repos coming in additionally to those standard repos ever since until 15.2 days. so here is the question, are we getting another set of new additional or completely differing repo addresses on 15.4? anything to be aware of? where can one find such elementary changes and stuff if such stuff happens except for going for a clean install on clean new hardware and first observing and looking through all sorts of things there, and then manually "backporting" such stuff as addl repo urls to other existing but aged opensuse installs? ty.
