-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I have a computer on the wall behind my desktop computer, which I use to display videos and things. I want to launch videos on firefox there while typing on my desktop computer. So, on my desktop computer I try: ssh -X cer@wallcomputer "firefox https://www.youtube.com/something" I get back, on my desktop computer: [GFX1-]: glxtest: X error, error_code=1, request_code=155, minor_code=1 [GFX1-]: glxtest: process failed (exited with status 1) ###!!! [Child][RunMessage] Error: Channel closing: too late to send/recv, messages will be lost cer@Telcontar:~> And a popup that says: [Close firefox (on wall computer)] Firefox is already running but is not responding. To use Firefox, you must first close the existing Firefox process, restart your device, or use a different profile. I try also: cer@Telcontar:~> ssh -X cer@wallcomputer "firefox --no-remote https://www.youtube.com/something" [GFX1-]: glxtest: X error, error_code=1, request_code=155, minor_code=1 [GFX1-]: glxtest: process failed (exited with status 1) cer@Telcontar:~> Is there a (simple) way to do what I want? - -- Cheers Carlos E.

firewalld and root password
by Marc Chamberlin 18 Sep '22

18 Sep '22

I am running OpenSuSE 15.3 x64 and am struggling with setting up Firewalld. At the moment I have lots of questions and will probably ask more questions in different threads in the near future. Right now I would like to ask why does Firewalld-config keep badgering me for the root password while I am trying to work with it, and how do I get it to stop. I have set it up in the Application Menu to run as the root user, and I expect it to ask me for the root password initially once, after starting up. But this constant badgering me to keep entering the root password, after different operations (for example changing the view from Temporary to Permanent, changing the zone I want to work with, adding a Rich rule, or a Direct Configuration rule, etc., ) is ridiculous and very annoying. Once is enough! Marc, and as always, thanks in advance for your helpful suggestions! -- *"The Truth is out there" - Spooky* *_ _ . . . . . . _ _ . _ _ _ _ . . . . _ . . . . _ _ . _ _ _ . . . . _ _ . _ . . _ . _ _ _ _ . _ . _ . _ . _ . * Computers: the final frontier.

"disabling vim syntax", or "how to override a suse default"
by David T-G 18 Sep '22

18 Sep '22

Hi, all -- I'm running Leap 15.x on various computers davidtg@jpo:~> for H in jpo diskfarm gezebel ; do echo $H ; ssh $H " egrep '^(NAME|VERSION)' /etc/os-release " ; echo '' ; done jpo NAME="openSUSE Leap" VERSION="15.2" VERSION_ID="15.2" diskfarm NAME="openSUSE Leap" VERSION="15.2" VERSION_ID="15.2" gezebel NAME="openSUSE Leap" VERSION="15.1" VERSION_ID="15.1" (yes, I'm planning to update soon; see my recent update-and-migrate thread) and have finally gotten tired enough of stupid syntax highlighting, especially when vim complains No Syntax items defined for this buffer on startup, to dig into it. I find that the SuSE vimrc turns it on by default: davidtg@jpo:~> grep syn /usr/share/vim/vim80/*vimrc* /usr/share/vim/vim80/gvimrc_example.vim: " Switch on syntax highlighting if it wasn't on yet. /usr/share/vim/vim80/gvimrc_example.vim: if !exists("syntax_on") /usr/share/vim/vim80/gvimrc_example.vim: syntax on /usr/share/vim/vim80/suse.vimrc:" enable syntax highlighting /usr/share/vim/vim80/suse.vimrc: syntax on /usr/share/vim/vim80/vimrc_example.vim:if has('syntax') && has('eval') GAAAH! No wonder I'm seein' this thing all of the time ... Of course, I turn it off davidtg@jpo:~> cat .vimrc source $HOME/.exrc syntax=off in my own .vimrc file, but that doesn't seem to matter ... This concept has come up before for default aliases, too. I tried a few ways to permanently stomp on some /etc/profile.d/* files, but anything that promises to be permanent also breaks updates, so I'm stuck making the same changes again and again. I foresee the same thing with syntax settings *sigh* So what's the best way to step on a setting or file that is placed by default but should be able to be overridden -- just once, and thus forevermore -- by the admin? TIA & HAND :-D -- David T-G See http://justpickone.org/davidtg/email/ See http://justpickone.org/davidtg/tofu.txt

Is there a good description of the future of Leap in SUSE? A roadmap type of thing to help one understand where things are headed? -- Roger Oberholtzer

Why do many update errors?
by James Knott 08 Sep '22

08 Sep '22

Lately, there seem to be a lot of problems with the updates. Normally, I just let the Software Updates run and all is fine. But lately, it seems almost every time there are problems, which require I go into Yast > Software Updates, to find the problem package(s) and choose the fix needed to proceed. This is something that used to be rare, but is now commonplace. Here's one example: Update Error the to be installed gtk3-branding-openSUSE-15.0-lp154.2.2.1.noarch requires 'libgtk-3-0 = 3.24.31', but this requirement cannot be provided

Update woes
by Roger Oberholtzer 06 Sep '22

06 Sep '22

I have a Tumbleweed system that is a little out of date. (Different discussion.) For whatever reason (local IT complaints), I decided to update Jenkins (CI system). We use it, but not in a critical way. So if the update failed, no real problem. After updating it, it complained that the java we had was too old. okay, It's the only java app, so same for this, a successful update is not critical. Well, after updating these two things (java was a number of packages), all hell has broken loose. I see that I missed that glibc was updated when Java was updated. Rookie mistake. I know better. But it is what it is. And glibc is usually pretty much backward compatible in that it usually contains recent API versions a well a the new one. So, I thought I would do a snapper rollback. Which I did. However, it looks like all the changes are still there. rpm --last reports all the updated RPMs. I expected that to have been reverted. Did I miss something. I'm afraid to reboot as I don't know what all is effected. I'm afraid to do the long delayed distro update as I don't know what might fail in some RPM script. I could consider doing a fresh install. All the important stuff on this system is on a separate RAID volume. It's just some configurations on root that I would like to keep. However, I nave a critical application (trac) that is still not Python 3 for production use. So I don't want to loose any Python 2 stuff that I have already installed. Any words of encouragement? Advice? -- Roger Oberholtzer

Navigators
by bent fender 05 Sep '22

05 Sep '22

As my evolving Tumbleweed desktop shows (in the top right panel) Web-Navigators (aka browsers but I call'em navigators out of respect for the original Netscape folk) are demanding exploding focus and attention for reasons that no one needs to expand upon. Would be timely if Suse included Librewolf among others. Thanks in advance :-) https://i.imgur.com/QbS0Oz4.png For some reason most of the ones I use are crashing left, right and center. I just installed a fresh Falkon and in default configuration it bombed on Netflix with a Netflix error message that I would even try to understand. Not all the complaints are about unsolicited snooping. I'm asking this from authors and not distro packagers but eventually I would like 'buttons' like for the more pupular video sites, others for layered levels of 'dark' form 'useful' to html rendered but 'wget pitch black'.

Tumbleweed won't shutdown correctly
by Nicolas Kovacs 03 Sep '22

03 Sep '22

Hi, Recently I upgraded my workstation from Leap to Tumbleweed. I'm using the KDE desktop. Looks like I can't shutdown anymore. When choosing the Shutdown option from the menu, graphics quit OK but I'm at a login console. No shutdown message, nothing, and I have to do a hard reset. Any suggestions ?

kernel-firmware updates to 15.4 changed default handling of keypad [enter] key?
by David C. Rankin 02 Sep '22

02 Sep '22

All, This is strange. I just did updates on 15.4 and there were kernel-firmware updates that somehow changed the default mapping of the keypad [enter] key. I discovered this almost immediately. When working with microcontrollers, I always send serial output to an xterm with minicom. When I need to flash, I exit minicom with [ctrl + a] then [x] and tap the keypad [enter] key. Immediately after updates, when I go to exit minicom and tap the keypad [enter] key, the Leave Minicom? Yes No dialog simply disappears and I remain in minicom. The normal keyboard [enter] key works just fine. I don't notice anything different check with xev, the keypresses still look right, e.g. the keypad and normal keyboard enter keys look correct. KeyPress event, serial 40, synthetic NO, window 0x3600001, root 0x2eb, subw 0x0, time 1847448, (47,-13), root:(1465,8), state 0x0, keycode 104 (keysym 0xff8d, KP_Enter), same_screen YES, " XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (0d) " " XmbLookupString gives 1 bytes: (0d) " XFilterEvent returns: False KeyPress event, serial 40, synthetic NO, window 0x3600001, root 0x2eb, subw 0x0, time 1850055, (47,-13), root:(1465,8), state 0x0, keycode 36 (keysym 0xff0d, Return), same_screen YES, " XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (0d) " " XmbLookupString gives 1 bytes: (0d) " XFilterEvent returns: False Was there a change anywhere else in the 449 Meg of updates that would have changed the mapping for how "Return" (normal keyboard) and "KP_Enter" (keypad) are interpreted?? All guesses welcome. I'm not sure where to look for this one. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
