sound shift with avidemux 3
by jdd＠dodin.org 09 Jul '22

09 Jul '22

Hello, I've jut been hit by an avidemux problem, may be worth a bugreport if not already fixed :-) however openSUSE Leap 15.3 seems to use the same 2.8.0 version as the appimage available on the avidemux side. The problem is pretty odd: the sound is shifted some seconds late. When the singer stop singing and drop the mic, one can still hear his voice. Of course not on the source (not an echo :-(). This seems to happen only on special situation. I'm cutting videos from a Canon HF G30 camcorder. Full HD, 28Mb/s 50fps. When loading, avidemux write it's own index file, then ask for something to fix (This video contains B-frames, but presentation time stamps (PTS) are either missing or monotonically increasing. Avidemux can try to reconstruct correct PTS by decoding the entire video. This may take a lot of time. Proceed?), I always say "yes", and have to wait around 3 mn (20 minutes video, 4Gb MTS file). no problem there. I select a part of the video (say a song, cut to i-frame), write it as raw copy mkv file, delete the part already done and go for the next. At a moment I have a song half on the present file and half on the next, so I append the next one, and so on. The shift may appear after several append It's not easy to see, cause my video is not a closeup. The resulting file is much too big to be shared, and the problem is not immediately visible, so I don't know what to do to help debugging (but right now I'm obliged to redo one day work :-() any clue? worth a bugzilla? thanks jdd -- http://dodin.org http://valeriedodin.com

zypper up reinstalls 15.4??
by David C. Rankin 07 Jul '22

07 Jul '22

Here is a new one, Doing a normal zypper up on 15.4 I find 15.4 will be reinstalled - why? The following 3 packages are going to be upgraded: MozillaThunderbird openSUSE-release openSUSE-release-ftp The following product is going to be reinstalled: "openSUSE Leap 15.4" 3 packages to upgrade. Overall download size: 54.7 MiB. Already cached: 0 B. After the operation, additional 27.8 KiB will be used. Continue? [y/n/v/...? shows all options] (y): Is it simply due to the openSUSE-release openSUSE-release-ftp packages? (I suspect so). It seems a bit overkill to scare the new user with: The following product is going to be reinstalled: "openSUSE Leap 15.4" I know it caused me to do a double-take.... -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Zypper vs. package caching : solution needed
by Nicolas Kovacs 05 Jul '22

05 Jul '22

Hi, Our local school has a painfully slow Internet connection, and there's no way to get a faster one. We have about two dozen desktop clients, and before starting the dist-upgrade from Leap 15.3 to Leap 15.4, I'm looking for a simple solution to avoid repeated downloads which would take ages. In the past I've fiddled with Apt-Cacher-NG, which sometimes works (sort of) for some repositories, but in daily practice it's unfortunately too buggy to be really usable. I've taken some notes about Apt-Cacher-NG and published them on my blog: https://blog.microlinux.fr/apt-cacher-ng-centos-7-opensuse/ Next, I went for a bone-headed solution consisting in sharing /var/cache/zypp/packages over NFS. On my local server (running Rocky Linux 8) I exported /srv/packages to the local network, and then all OpenSUSE clients are mounting this export on /var/cache/zypp/packages. Repositories are configured with the --keep-packages option, so the cache is not erased after each download/installation. Well, in theory. In practice, here's how it works (or not). All my desktop clients have a shared /var/cache/zypp/packages mounted over NFS. I perform my first upgrade on the first client, and things go smoothly. The cache is filled with almost 1 GB of downloaded RPMS and the corresponding metadata. So far so good. Now when I move on to the second desktop client, first thing I do is setup the official repos for Leap 15.4 before doing the upgrade with 'zypper addrepo --keep-packages etc.' And here's the thing: this operation WIPES THE CACHE. Which, as far as I can tell, is Zypper being particularly stupid. "Hey Zypper, please add these repositories but also please keep all the packages in the cache." "OK I'm setting up the repositories but I'm wiping the cache NOW. Duh." I spent some time reading and re-reading 'man zypper' but apparently there seem to be no more options to tell zypper to *never* *ever* wipe the cache in /var/cache/zypp/packages. Any suggestions ?

Server & desktop estate management
by Nicolas Kovacs 04 Jul '22

04 Jul '22

Hi, My question is not really specific to OpenSUSE, but here goes. On the latest count, I'm managing about a hundred installations: root servers, local servers, desktop PCs and laptops. Some of these are in our local school, some for a handful of companies all over France and even some in Belgium and Switzerland. Root servers are mostly Scaleway rentals in France. And then the inevitable desktops managed for friends and families. Over the years I've been using various methods to keep track of all these installations, notably specificities like BIOS configuration details, exotic hardware, extra applications besides those I usually install, etc. In the beginning it was just a simple text file per machine, then I moved on to the CherryTree note-taking application, but I'm still not satisfied with the current solution. Usually computer estate management software like GLPI or OSTicket can be relatively complex. I prefer to stick to the KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) principle. So I'm curious: what methods do you use to keep an overview over your installations ? In a nutshell, the sort of file or series of files where you can get all the relevant information about an installation in a quick glance ? Thanks & cheers from France, Niki -- Microlinux - Solutions informatiques durables 7, place de l'église - 30730 Montpezat Site : https://www.microlinux.fr Blog : https://blog.microlinux.fr Mail : info(a)microlinux.fr Tél. : 04 66 63 10 32 Mob. : 06 51 80 12 12

SOLVED Sane forgot genesys driver - a link from 2006 helped
by Markus Feilner 03 Jul '22

03 Jul '22

hi, my scanner was gone today. I mean it's literally here besides me, but my Tumbleweed had forgotten about it. Maybe because I don't use it that frequently. I had to add the line "genesys" (no quotes!) in /etc/sane.d/dll, which was empty, then Yast could configure it. Without that, Yast would complain: failed to configure genesys. This seems like an old mistake popping up again. Thanks to my former colleagues I could fix that on my system: https://www.linux-community.de/fragen/problem-mit-sane-genesys-genesys-konn… -- Best Regards - Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Markus Feilner, Feilner IT - 20 years of open services - https://nitter.net/mfeilner ------------------------- Digital sovereignty in three words: "Exit Strategy First!"

15.4 Install/Remove java-11-openjdk-javadoc leaves dangling symlinks??
by David C. Rankin 03 Jul '22

03 Jul '22

All, Is this a bug that needs reporting? On 15.4 I installed (zypper in) and removed (zypper rm) java-11-openjdk-javadoc. After removal dangling links were left at: # l /etc/alternatives/javadocdir lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 38 Jul 2 19:23 /etc/alternatives/javadocdir -> /usr/share/javadoc/java-11-openjdk/api and # l /usr/share/javadoc/java lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28 Jul 2 19:23 /usr/share/javadoc/java -> /etc/alternatives/javadocdir Is it a bug? I certainly think the links should have been unlinked on package removal. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

15.4 - Thunderbird 90.10 - filters sorting mail into arbitrary folders
by David C. Rankin 02 Jul '22

02 Jul '22

All, I just got a shock today with Thunderbird 91.10 on 15.4. First indication something was whacked was 1/2 the mail from the linux-kernel list was in junk. Then checking the linux-raid folder I found all the messages from Simon on the factory list there. Has anyone else seen filter oddness or corruption on the current Thunderbird? -- David C.

sharp multifunction mx3060n printer
by Simon Becherer 02 Jul '22

02 Jul '22

Hi, not a specific opensuse question, but i try to ask first here: anybody using a sharp mx3060n (network) printer? i bought one used machine, printing fine, with the ppd file from sharp. (throwing away my more than 20 year old qms-minolta desklaser(s) 6100 - anybody need spare-parts or color toner?) but what is a good way to use the scanner and maybe the fax functionality? as i understood, scanner is able to scan to a network drive or the internal harddisk, and the internal harddisk could somehow used as a network drive. maybe its also possible to fax something if copy to that drive. but i have not understand how to set it up (printerside) or if there is a better way, so that i could use xane to scan direct from opensuse. (my preferred approach) regards, simoN -- www.becherer.de
