Hello, I use since some time a virtual machine running on my FAI box, acting like a nas. I would like to install a tumbleweed vm, but don't find the relevant file https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Cloud:/Images:/ only leap... I tried an ordinary iso, but I have problem (stops à hardware search) any idea? thanks jdd -- c'est quoi, usenet? http://www.dodin.org/wiki/pmwiki.php?n=Usenet.Usenet

Hehe. Systemd is dependent on my computer being plugged in to the power outlet and turned on, so it needs a power-on service and a self-plug-in service. -- Robert Webb

[oS-EN] Thunderbird speller
by Carlos E. R. 17 Aug '23

17 Aug '23

Hi, If I enter the word whatsapp, it gets underlined in red. Right click on it, does not offer the correct spelling suggestion. However, if I correct it manually to WhatsApp, it is marked correct. The speller knows that WhatsApp is correct, but does not offer it. Why? This is a long standing bug, but I don't know if of Thunderbird or of the particular speller used in openSUSE Linux. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from Telcontar, using openSUSE Leap 15.4)

Tumbleweed update question
by Roger Oberholtzer 16 Aug '23

16 Aug '23

I am looking to svn dup my Tumbleweed install. It is currently at 20230729. Aside from the usual Python3 messiness, I see that it wants to remove things like grubby and liblockdev1. At least grubby sounds like a tool that might be used somewhere setting up the system. Should I allow it to remove such things? -- Roger Oberholtzer

leap 15.5 - has anyone successfully booted with root on NFS ?
by Per Jessen 13 Aug '23

13 Aug '23

I have just today dupped a 15.1 box to 15.5 - all went well, except it no longer boots. I have rebuilt the initrd a few times, and it keeps looking like the network is never set up after the kernel+initrd are loaded. I was just wondering if someone else might have tried this, with success? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (27.8°C) Member, openSUSE Heroes (2016 - present) We're hiring - https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Heroes

Tbird 115 on 15.4 - Write Message - Menu Autohide only 1/2 Hidden - Grating appearance changes
by David C. Rankin 11 Aug '23

11 Aug '23

All, Zypper up pulled in Thunderbird 115. It is horribly different from 102 and does not respect my color or theme choices that 102 did. Further, the interface is a bit buggy. The new-message window menu-autohide - doesn't completely hide the menu, you can see the bottom of all menu entries under the window titlebar: https://paste.opensuse.org/pastes/8f0de87e7c53 What changed to radically to give tbird 115 such a different and unpleasant look? When I have tabs open in thunderbird, you can only see the active tab, all others are black-text on black-background ?? Is this libadwaita rearing its ugly head? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

'regime-change' @ Leap-15.5
by bent fender 10 Aug '23

10 Aug '23

My previous 15.x and 15.y upgarded twice or more to 15.5 finally got to the point where it would recognize only that one of my two soundcards that wasn't plugged-in at the time. DON'T ask me hoe it did that!!! So I did a fresh install and am tweaking it. The card in use is a CMI8788 XONAR Essence STX-II. It gets recognised but there's this issue in the pulse Volume window: Input-Devices, port "whatever" selected, the slider remains DEAD. Since I use my compuker mostly for guitar sessions this is a no-go, my playing makes dogs howl but it risks getting better if I can't hear it
