NAS with a USB interface?
by Lew Wolfgang 29 Aug '23

29 Aug '23

Hi Folks, I've got an odd requirement that would be satisfied if I could find a NAS device that supported TCP/IP connections over a regular Ethernet port while also offering a USB connection to make the NAS appear as a USB external disk. So multiple computers on the Ethernet side would load up files on the NAS which would be available to a USB-connected computer where it could pull the files off. I've googled a bit and it seems that many people think this won't work, but I'm looking at a QNAP NAS that looks like it might. https://files.qnap.com/news/pressresource/datasheet/TS-x51A_P8_(EN)_51000-0… Any thoughts/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. If I can pull this off I'll be the hero at work. Regards, Lew

Yast: packman repo constraint is volatile :-(
by bent fender 29 Aug '23

29 Aug '23

I set in Yast-Software-Repositories "Switch system packages to the versions in this repository (Packman Repository)" Once the ritual is complete the link changes to "Cancel switching..." Fine, but a few upgrades later the constraint is GONE and the first annunciation is back again. This certainly isn't what one would expect, as opposed to an alert to anything that wants to change the constraint or better yet an automatic and total denial of same (consistent with user intent!).

mouse bouncing
by jdd＠dodin.org 29 Aug '23

Hello, Tumbleweed, kde up to date My mouse is bouncing very often, that is when I click, it issues a double click. Very annoying when I delete a mail in thunderbird, for example, but also in taskbar when I want to open an application in an other desktop it opens then close immediately. I don't find a way to setup a delay between two clicks (no repeat option) on plasma/kde config panel any idea? thanks jdd -- c'est quoi, usenet? http://www.dodin.org/wiki/pmwiki.php?n=Usenet.Usenet

Anybody use ssh_agent integration in keepassxc -- if so, Why?
by David C. Rankin 29 Aug '23

29 Aug '23

All, With the goofball 2FA the evil-empire is imposing on github, I have to actually commit to using keepassxc instead of my old favorite. In keepassxc, there is both browser and ssh_agent integration. Browser integration is easy enough to understand, keepassxc is simply used as the backend for password storage and the browser stores and retrieves passwords from an unlocked keepassxc instance. But what does ssh_agent integration do that ssh_agent doesn't already do? That's where I'm confused. ssh_agent is happily running and doing its job on Leap -- what does enabling integration in keepassxc buy you? https://keepassxc.org/docs/KeePassXC_UserGuide#_setting_up_ssh_agent_integr… doesn't really explain any benefit you gain other than having the key names in keepassxc.... Ummm... So what? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Why are packman package names not consistent?
by David C. Rankin 29 Aug '23

29 Aug '23

All, Doing maintenance on the Leap 154 --keep files from packman, duplicate removal is almost impossible as the file naming convention for packman rpms is all over the place. For example, in the past year I have filenames of: pdftk-3.3.2-pm154.10.4.noarch.rpm pdftk-3.3.3-150400.10.pm.6.noarch.rpm pdftk-3.3.3-pm150400.10.4.noarch.rpm pdftk-3.3.3-pm154.10.2.noarch.rpm Where pdftk-3.3.3-150400.10.pm.6.noarch.rpm is the current. However, trying to either sort, or iterate in awk is impossible with some filenames containing "pm154" some just containing "150400" and still others containing "pm150400". That before we get to some with ".pm." and others not. How do you handle parsing duplicates from filenames such as this? also Will the ".. 150400.10.pm.X .." filenames be consistent going forward? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

automatically adjust repositories for update 15.3 -> 15.5?
by Daniel Bauer 28 Aug '23

28 Aug '23

I want to update my main machine from 15.3 to 15.5 without a new install. As much as I know it is easy: - change the 15.3 repositories to 15.4 repos - run zypper dup - change 15.4 repos to 15.5 repos - run zypper dup That's it. Am I right? Is there am automatic way to change all repos from one version to a new one, so that I don't have to search for all of them and do it manually? Have a nice day!

Leap 15.5 Package List
by Simon Connah 28 Aug '23

28 Aug '23

I've been hunting around around and wasn't able to find what I was looking for. I'd like to see a list of packages that are available for Leap 15.5. I found it for Fedora: https://packages.fedoraproject.org/ And for Ubuntu: https://packages.ubuntu.com/ But I can't find the same thing for Leap (and TW). Can someone please point me in the right direction? Thank you!

[oS-EN] Buetooth networking
by Carlos E. R. 28 Aug '23

28 Aug '23

Hi, When I tether the laptop to the phone to get internet, the phone offers Bluetooth, USB, and WiFi. The later two I have tested and work perfectly. Bluetooth, I don't know how it is supposed to work. I get two applets related to BT in the task bar of XFCE, but I see the phone on neither. Nor do I see anything related to BT in the network manager. Is it supposed to work, and how? Maybe a wiki page on it? -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from openSUSE 15.5 (Laicolasse))

addendum: when shutting down qjackctl, "D-BUS: JACK server could not be stopped.
