Synaptics Touchpad - Not Optimally Configured with xinput, xf86-input-synaptics needed
by David C. Rankin 24 Jun '22

24 Jun '22

All, After the 15.4 update, my touchpad was slow and I couldn't program a 0.5 second disabling of the touchpad when a key was pressed resulting in problems typing and my palm contacting the touchpad. I have always used syndaemon to disable the touchpad while typing, but it was nowhere to be found. synclient also provides a number of features not available with xinput. Both syndaemon and synclient are in xf86-input-synaptics. Installed, and copied the 70-synaptics.conf to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ and restarted X and presto, my touchpad is zinging away again and syndaemon disables the touchpad while typing (but not for control or control+key combos). If your touchpad is a synaptics device, installing xf86-input-synaptics provides a great deal more in configuration. You can check your touchpad with `xinput --list`, e.g. $ xinput --list ⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)] ⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ Microsoft Microsoft 3-Button Mouse with IntelliEye(TM) id=9 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ PS/2 Generic Mouse id=12 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad id=13 [slave pointer (2)] ⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)] ↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Power Button id=6 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Video Bus id=7 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Sleep Button id=8 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ HP HD Webcam [Fixed]: HP HD Web id=10 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard id=11 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ HP WMI hotkeys id=14 [slave keyboard (3)] My synaptics touchpad has id=13. synclient -l will provide a detailed list of capabilities and options (and to a lesser extent 'xinput --list-props 13' will provide the options reachable through xinput) -- David C.

I can't see mails I send to this list?? Only replies. I never know if the mails I send make it.
by David C. Rankin 21 Jun '22

21 Jun '22

All, Since my crappy ISP started blocking mail from opensuse to my suddenlinkmail.com account I have had to switch my account to gmail. The problem is I never see the mails I send, not my original post or my replies to the list. Anybody else using gmail know how to fix this? I also can't use the hyperkitty mail interface because my account still has the suddenlinkmail.com address as my e-mail and when I attempt login, it "sends a verification e-mail..." to my suddenlink address which of course bounces and I never get it. Suggestions? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Vagrant + libvirt: question about removing boxes
by Nicolas Kovacs 21 Jun '22

21 Jun '22

Hi, I'm running the Vagrant/libvirt combination on an OpenSUSE Leap 15.4 box. It's running nicely and performs way better than the Vagrant/VirtualBox setup I've used before. My user (microlinux) is a member of the 'libvirt' system group: $ groups users libvirt So far I've added three boxes to my system: $ vagrant box list roboxes/centos7 (libvirt, 4.0.2) roboxes/oracle7 (libvirt, 4.0.2) roboxes/rhel7 (libvirt, 4.0.2) These boxes are stored in ~/vagrant.d: $ find .vagrant.d/ -name *.img .vagrant.d/boxes/roboxes-VAGRANTSLASH-centos7/4.0.2/libvirt/box.img .vagrant.d/boxes/roboxes-VAGRANTSLASH-oracle7/4.0.2/libvirt/box.img .vagrant.d/boxes/roboxes-VAGRANTSLASH-rhel7/4.0.2/libvirt/box.img $ du -sh .vagrant.d/ 2,4G .vagrant.d/ After initializing and running the boxes, they seem to be copied to /var/lib/libvirt/images: # cd /var/lib/libvirt/images/ # ls *box.img roboxes-VAGRANTSLASH-centos7_vagrant_box_image_4.0.2_box.img roboxes-VAGRANTSLASH-oracle7_vagrant_box_image_4.0.2_box.img roboxes-VAGRANTSLASH-rhel7_vagrant_box_image_4.0.2_box.img Let's say I want to remove these boxes, here's what I would do: $ vagrant box remove roboxes/rhel7 $ vagrant box remove roboxes/oracle7 $ vagrant box remove roboxes/centos7 The boxes are effectively wiped from ~/vagrant.d: $ du -sh .vagrant.d/ 56K .vagrant.d/ $ find .vagrant.d/ -name *.img But their copies still remain in /var/lib/libvirt/images: # cd /var/lib/libvirt/images # ls *box.img roboxes-VAGRANTSLASH-centos7_vagrant_box_image_4.0.2_box.img roboxes-VAGRANTSLASH-oracle7_vagrant_box_image_4.0.2_box.img roboxes-VAGRANTSLASH-rhel7_vagrant_box_image_4.0.2_box.img So here's my question: is there a way to get 'vagrant box remove' also wipe the images in /var/lib/libvirt/images?

The end of pop3 on gmail?
by Gustav Degreef 21 Jun '22

21 Jun '22

Hello, I've searched on google for a solution but from what I've read, it seems like thunderbird will no longer be able to access gmail accounts using pop3. I received a notice from google, that after May 30 I will no longer be ale to retrieve mail using username/password. Oauth 2.0 apparently is only available for imap and not pop3 and 2sv with app passwords is not possible with thunderbird. Is there an alternative way to keep using thunderbird with pop3, so as to not have to leave mail on google's servers?

15.4 minicom can't connect to ttyACM0 as user -- only root (after connection setup as root)
by David C. Rankin 20 Jun '22

20 Jun '22

All, Something has changed in 15.4 related to access serial devices over USB in 15.4 and I can't figure out what? Here is the setup. I have several microcontrollers I connect to my laptop over USB. (TI MSP432 and RM46). In 15.0 after saving the connection parameters as root, I could connect to the devices on ttyACM0 as my normal user. However in 15.4, minicom refuses to connect saying can't get a lock on ttyACM0. (if I run minicom as root, then it works just fine) This has other implications as well. I use TI Code Composer Studio as the IDE for the microcontroller code. It provides arm versions of gcc, clang and the TI compiler. It also needs to connect over ttyACM0 to update the XDS110 debug probe firmware and to flash new programs to the microcontroller's flash memory. This worked seamlessly as user in 15.0. It now cannot update the firmware or flash new programs to the microcontrollers (see error at end) I suspect this may be a group issue. In 15.0 there was the adm group GID 485, that I made myself a member of. (I'm not positive this is the group at issue, but...) The adm group is not present in 15.4. Is this the culprit? All other groups seem to be common between 15.0 and 15.4. If not the adm group -- what else could it be? I had no issues using ttyACM0 as my user in 15.0 and now in 15.4 it seems I lack some type of permission to use it. The error thrown by CCS is: CS_DAP_0: Error initializing emulator: (Error -260 @ 0x0) An attempt to connect to the XDS110 failed. The cause may be one or more of: no XDS110 is connected, invalid firmware update, invalid XDS110 serial number, or faulty USB cable. The firmware and serial number may be updated using the xdsdfu utility found in the .../ccs_base/common/uscif/xds110 directory of your installation. View the XDS110SupportReadMe.pdf file there for instructions. (Emulation package 9.7.0.00213) I'm connected to it in an xterm watching the output of a MPU9850 update at 100 HZ right now -- it's connected and working (this rules out a faulty USB cable as well). The firmware update is also fine. So it looks like the same permission issue with can't get a lock on ttyACM0 that minicom complains of. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Tumbleweed with 5.18.1 : Problem with NVidia driver
by Peter Maffter 19 Jun '22

19 Jun '22

Using NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-390.151.run for an older GTX 570 to create the NVidia modules worked up to now with Suse Tumbleweed. Updated today to 5.18.1-1-default #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC and this stopped working. No X11, no graphical system. :-( It seems to be a NVidia issue,see here for the problems on ARCH: https://github.com/NVIDIA/open-gpu-kernel-modules/issues/256 Is there some good description for going back to nouveau driver for Suse Tumbleweed? Thanks in advance Pete

update patch fails
by Marc Chamberlin 19 Jun '22

19 Jun '22

I have an openSuSE 15.3 x64 system which received a few updates and one of them - *patch:openSUSE-2022-124-1.noarch***has a dependencies problem that I don't know how to resolve. nothing provides 'libstdc++.so.6(GLIBCXX_3.4.29)(64bit)' needed by the to be installed libre2-9-20220401-bp153.5.12.1.x86_64 The version of libstdc++ installed on my system is 10.3.0+git1587 The actions Yast2 updater wants to take, to resolve this issue, is to delete a whole lot of important packages, or not install the patch, or to break a whole lot of packages. None of these seem like a good idea, so what is this poor user to do? Thanks as always in advance for some kind guru answering my question!
