Thunderbird search
by Carlos E. R. 10 Aug '23

10 Aug '23

Hi, I type in the "Quick Filter" the string "strange power" without quotes. Obviously I expect to find messages containing that string, but instead it kicks in on messages containing "strange" or "power". Doesn't make sense... Apparently one has to use quotes. But I save the draft of this message in the "inbox" folder, and it doesn't find it. It does find it in the "Drafts" folder. Then I request the search in a gmail inbox, and again it finds "strange" or "power", despite I writing "strange power" with quotes. 77 hits. But if I remove the quotes, then it finds 345 messages... I can't figure it out. Maybe it is using the imap server implementation of search, and gmail does things differently. How I am not surprised. However, I know that Thunderbird does search in the inbox folders of servers that I know do not implement server side search (gmx.es). Alpine does the correct search, and in this inbox finds only the message I copied there. However, Alpine on gmail finds 77 mails, and they are not "strange power". Seems to be "strange" and "power" but not "strange power" necessarily. Alpine does not cache the bodies of the messages, so I know that it is using the imap server search feature. Not directly related, but thinking the post I search for was in Usenet, I grepped my news spool (28G), an operation that took 4 or 6 hours, but failed to find the correct message. Maybe another string. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.4 x86_64 at Telcontar)

CheckPoint SNX
by Roger Oberholtzer 10 Aug '23

10 Aug '23

Is anyone running the CheckPoint SNX client on openSUSE (e.g.Tumbleweed)? A remote user uses CheckPoint to provide VPN, and SNX seems to be the Linux client. I can start the program (a CLI program), but I cannot seem to make a connection. So I'm curious if it just does not work or if I need to plod on. Google gives mixed information. -- Roger Oberholtzer

Firefox 115 - Why am I getting Tbird Ads in Firefox asking me to donate? Don't we patch that?
by David C. Rankin 10 Aug '23

10 Aug '23

Devs, For the first time I'm had a mozilla ad for thunderbird appear on firefox startup. I though we patched that and the version nag in our openSUSE version? Shouldn't that be disabled by patch for our distribution? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

It is certainly possibly to add such a feature, AFAIK, if it has enough traction, but I'm not a dev. Only commenting by what I know of the format. Or, Thunderbird could write the information in the separate index file it keeps. I don't know how possible is this. > > Tried "Order Received" early on.

The Date of the Date column corresponds to the Date at time of writing the final copy of the email. It is up to the software that wrote the software. For example, your OP has: Date: Mon, 7 Aug 2023 10:29:28 -0400 Now, the "received" date I don't know for sure which it is. I guess it is the dat of the "last" received header, so it depends on the receiver. In that same message, it is: Received: from dovector04.e.movistar.es ([217.116.1.118]) by lda06.e.movistar.es (Dovecot) with LMTP id ...5w for <...(a)telefonica.net>; Mon, 07 Aug 2023 16:29:55 +0200 You can see there is a difference of seconds. But it could be some other "received" header. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.4 x86_64 at Telcontar)

This morning, I noticed a problem with Firefox, where pages won't load completely. It was working fine last night. The problem occurs on 2 different computers. I know there was an update a couple of days ago, but it worked fine until this morning. This is with both 115.1.0esr and 116.0. Chromium works fine. I'm running KDE on 15.4. tnx jk

What's included in the 'Minimal Virtual Machine' ISO images?
by J Leslie Turriff 08 Aug '23

08 Aug '23

The openSUSE Leap download page says, "We also have Minimal Virtual Machine, images. Check out Alternative Downloads!" but doesn't describe them except to say, "Similar to the SUSE Linux Enterprise Server Minimal-VM images." Are these images just a basic openSUSE Leap 15.5 with no applications beyond the virtualization software, or are they the Offline ISO with virtualization software pre-configured? Leslie -- Platform: Linux Distribution: openSUSE Leap 15.4 (x86_64)

Thunderbird - Trash, sort by deleted date
by joe a 07 Aug '23

07 Aug '23

Anyone here using Thunderbird/Dovecote to sort Trash folder by deleted date? I was astonished that does not seem to be the default. Do not find the option to add "Date deleted". Asked on Mozilla/TB Support, which tells me that option is there, under Settings, View, Sort by. also on dovecote, which has not responded at all. Thanks.

Zypper and repositories
by Roger Oberholtzer 05 Aug '23

05 Aug '23

I have a system that is installed at a customer site. Their IT guys, as is usually the case when a Linux box arrives, are very conservative about what the machine can access. As we slowly make it available in their environ, I would like it to be able to access the internet. Mainly to get access to openSUSE repos for updates and the like. They are leaning toward allowing this. But they want to restrict the sites that can be accessed to some list that we provide to them. IT guys have their ideas. As we expect to use zypper to do most of this, we need to make sure that zypper limits itself to the sites that are listed. Is there any way to tell zypper which mirror sites are available so it will only consider those? As this system is in Portugal, maybe there is some list of quality mirrors that are best used in Portugal? Anyone else have this kind of restraint? -- Roger Oberholtzer
