[oS-EN] I have finished with KDE/Plasma/X11
by Carlos E. R. 04 Dec '23

04 Dec '23

Hi, My testing of KDE/Plasma/X11 has been terminated. I noticed some weird behaviour. Firefox not loading a page, then ctrl-alt-tab displaying a black rectangle, and finally, KDE stopped reacting to mouse and keyboard. The mouse moved, but I could do nothing with it. I had to ctrl-alt-backspace it. And this has happened twice. After some days with the same session, it dies. I can not work with this, so I'm back to XFCE. I really did like some of KDE features, but not at this price. I'm sorry. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from openSUSE 15.5 (Laicolasse))

Samsung Flip5 no USB Tethering
by Ben T. Fender 04 Dec '23

04 Dec '23

I tried this on Tumbleweed, it may or may not be a Suse or`even a Linux issue. For USB tethering there is a switch to turn ON, once ON the comnputer is supposed to recognize it and net browsing may begin (the way I understand it no other action being required). I don't know if NetworkManager would show the usb cable or what? It shows nothing, and there is NO internet given to the computer (wifi hotspotting DOES work). However, when I next turn the USB Thethering switch OFF then I get a popup asking if I want to allow the phone to share data with the computer. Clicking yes opens a file manager & data transfer becomes possible. The first procedure is documented but doesn't work, the second one isn't but does. Any ideas?

Firefox opens pdf files differently depending on pdf version
by mh＠mike.franken.de 04 Dec '23

04 Dec '23

Hi, on one of my Tumbleweed machines Firefox opens pdf files differently depending on pdf version: - PDF document, version 1.4 opens in ocular - PDF document, version 1.6 (zip deflate encoded) opens in gvim I didn't find any file, where gVim is associated with any pdf mime type. Any idea how to get Firefox to open all pdf files in ocular? TIA. Bye. Michael.

how to clear dolphin password after failed sftp login?
by Daniel Bauer 04 Dec '23

04 Dec '23

Good morning! I use dolphin to manage my files on my web-server and connect with sftp://... Then (only the first time after boot) a dialog appears to enter my password. Dolphin remembers the password until I reboot my machine and when ever I go to that sftp://user@url again I don't have to enter the password again. So far perfect. The problem occurs when I enter a wrong password. Then dolphin shows a red line "connection failed", but there is no way (...I found no way...) to make dolphin show me the password dialog again to enter the correct password. Even worse: it seems that dolphin tries several times with the wrong password, so many times, that my server blocks the ssh login for some hours. I tried to log out/log in here on the local machine, but dolphin still tries with that wrong password. It seems I'd have to shutdown and boot again so that dolphin forgets. How can I clear dolphins password memory so that it shows me the password dialog again, without rebooting? Can you help me?

Multiple open windows, click on task bar app. - Leap 15.5 KDE
by James Knott 28 Nov '23

28 Nov '23

Previously, when I had multiple windows of an app, such as Firefox open, there would be one item on the task bar for it and when I clicked on it, I would get a list of the open windows, so I could select one. Now, when I click on the task bar item, it cycles through the open windows, one at a time. Is there any way to restore this to the way it used to be? tnx jk

Installed Leap 15.5 - browsers can't access sites
by James Knott 28 Nov '23

28 Nov '23

I just installed Leap 15.5 KDE and find I cannot access many web sites. For example, I can reach Google or openSUSE, but not mozilla.org or thestar.com. This happens with both Firefox & Chromium. Any ideas? tnx jk

keyboard becomes extremely slow
by mh＠mike.franken.de 26 Nov '23

26 Nov '23

Hi *, for some time now I have a problem with the keyboard on my notebook. It becomes extremely slow, i.e. only one or two keypresses are shown every 10 seconds. Special keyboard shortcuts like Alt-F4 or Ctrl-F5 are working as expected. Switching to a Linux console with Ctrl-Alt-[0-9] is still working, too. In the Linux console typing works without any problems then. Switching back to KDE again/still shows the problem. The only "solution" I found is to logout and login. For a while the keyboard then works as expected, until the same problem reoccurs. The intervals the problem shows up vary between once an evening to every 10 minutes. It happens in all programs one can type anything, i.e. OO Writer, graphical terminals or even dialog boxes of any kind. It happens with the internal notebook keyboard and also with an external USB keyboard. Machine: Type: Convertible System: Dell product: XPS 13 9310 2-in-1 v: N/A ´ openSUSE Tumbleweed 20230509 Any idea, what the reason might be and what to do against it? TIA. Bye. Michael.

Download (curl) error for 'https://mirrorcache-us-east.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/src-oss/repodata/r…': Error code: Connection failed Error message: Could not resolve host: downloadcontent2.opensuse.orgsource I wonder whether this is just a temporary problem or whether the mirror url has changed ? Thanks
