Leap and Tumbleweed TLP scheme?
by David C. Rankin 28 Jul '23

28 Jul '23

All, Devs, Was surprised yesterday to find that TLP was happily running on my laptop (with tlp frequency-info) while the service was not enabled. I stumbled upon it after pulling power to my laptop and happening to see the log messages telling me I need to enable it to have it available on boot and my needing to mask systemd-rfkill.service and systemd-rfkill.socket. I'm not complaining, it's a good command line tool for power management, but didn't know how Leap was starting it since the service wasn't enabled. Anybody have the Cliff's Notes version of how this works? (I happily enable it and masked rfkill) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

xfce4-settings-4.18.3-bp155.2.3.1.x86_64 requires 'xfce4-settings-branding = 4.18.3' which doesn't exist
by Aaron Digulla 23 Jul '23

23 Jul '23

Hello, Zypper wants to install patch:openSUSE-2023-175-1.noarch which fails because xfce4-settings-4.18.3-bp155.2.3.1.x86_64 depends on 'xfce4-settings-branding = 4.18.3'. The latest version of xfce4-settings-branding for Leap 15.5 is 4.18.0: https://software.opensuse.org/package/xfce4-settings-branding-openSUSE Is someone already working on this or should I report it? Where should report it? Thanks a lot, -- Aaron "Optimizer" Digulla a.k.a. Philmann Dark "It's not the universe that's limited, it's our imagination.

as always: Kuickshow for 15.5?
by Daniel Bauer 23 Jul '23

23 Jul '23

On my Desktop I still run 15.3, I'd like to update to 15.5 What hinders me is that there is no Kuickshow for OS 15.5. It is an essential program for me... Had the same problem when installing 15.3, but after mailing to this list, there magically appeared a package for 15.3. Will I have the same luck this time? Do you know who I can ask, or is the miracle-maker on this list? ----- [just my story why I need it:] I know that there are other programs to show photos. But there is none as practical and fast for my use like Kuickshow, actually the others are quite unusable for my purpose: To select the photos to edit from a session, where I always have many similar ones, I open 10, 20, 30 jpegs with Kuickshow. I can do that from within digikam or dolphin. They automatically show in the largest possible size of the screen, each in a separate window. They have only a title line, no menu line, nothing fancy. With simple keyboard commands I can change the image size or turn them and the window adapts to the new size automatically. If the image is larger than the window I can simply move it moving the clicked mouse in the window without using scroll bars. I can move the windows around and put them side by side to compare. All other programs use a lot of screen space for themselves and are much slower. None changes window size when showing the image smaller or larger. None opens the images in the largest possible size of the screen. Most want me to click in a thumbnails list (that takes a lot of space and must be moved using a scrollbar) to change the foreground image. It is an important part of my workflow, I use it every day. Using the known alternatives would cost me hours and hours of work just for the pleasure of the program but with no use for me :-( Actually I don't understand why such an simple and practical application is abandoned since years... -- Daniel Bauer photographer Basel Málaga Twitter: @Marsfotografo (often explicit nudes) https://www.patreon.com/danielbauer https://www.daniel-bauer.com (nudes)

[oS-EN] Text conversion problem
by Carlos E. R. 21 Jul '23

21 Jul '23

Hi, In an old text file, which "file" says it is utf-8 text, there are some chars which are not. Some were obviously accented letters, like "á", so I just did a search and replace on them. There is one entry I don't know what it is: Â·Â·Â·Â·Â·Â·Â·Â·Â·Â·Â·Â· rsync -a myfolder/*/*.jpg my-new-folder/ Â·Â·Â·Â·Â·Â·Â·Â·Â·Â·Â·Â· (The file got corrupted at some point because one editor thought the file was utf-8, and another editor thought differently). I saved the bad part to a file, but the command "file" insists it is utf-8 cer@Telcontar:~> cat p Â·Â·Â·Â·Â·Â·Â·Â·Â·Â·Â·Â· Â·Â·Â·Â·Â·Â·Â·Â·Â·Â·Â·Â· cer@Telcontar:~> file p p: UTF-8 Unicode text cer@Telcontar:~> And I fail to force a conversion: cer@Telcontar:~> iconv -f LATIN6 -t UTF-8 p ÃÂ·ÃÂ·ÃÂ·ÃÂ·ÃÂ·ÃÂ·ÃÂ·ÃÂ·ÃÂ·ÃÂ·ÃÂ·ÃÂ· ÃÂ·ÃÂ·ÃÂ·ÃÂ·ÃÂ·ÃÂ·ÃÂ·ÃÂ·ÃÂ·ÃÂ·ÃÂ·ÃÂ· cer@Telcontar:~> Perhaps I'm guessing wrong the non utf encoding. I don't remember for sure which was the old latin encoding we used in Spain, too. My guess is that the string is ················ which is a centered dot, which in my keyboard (Spain) is on the [.] key, but pressing also [AltGr] Testing besides the bad string: Â·Â·· Ideas? -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from Telcontar, using openSUSE Leap 15.4)

Hmm Why 15.4 FF jump from 102 -> 115 mid-release when 102.X is still ESR?
by David C. Rankin 21 Jul '23

21 Jul '23

All, Why did Leap 15.4 jump from Firefox ESR 102 to Firefox 115 Mid-Release? I though the policy was to stick with ESR while it was still under support by Mozilla? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

What file or setting holds default browser info now?
by David C. Rankin 21 Jul '23

21 Jul '23

All, After installing opera and brave, both installed at the default browser. Easy enough to fix with Firefox->Settings->Set as default, but that prompted a question -- where is that information stored? How do browsers know where to look -- and where is that? In the past it was a setting in kcontrol->KDE Components - but it is somewhere else now. Anybody know? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
