Whether I use Y2mate.com or youtube-dl I am getting errors regarding Absolute addressing. What is this and how do I correct a problem which did not exist in 15.2 before and seems to be part of 15.5 now??? CWSIV

NetworkManager issue?
by bent fender 04 Aug '23

04 Aug '23

I have a router with two bandwidths but I use only the lower bandwidth that works with all my usb wifi sticks and all my OS'es. The networks are Net-2 and Net-5. Only Tumbleweed sees Net-5 and sometimes it thinks that I want to use it, at such times I just hit enter in the pwd dialogs, which leads to failure. I don't put up with passwords or any other such data being stored so Tumbleweed has correctly been asking me for root password (first) as well as network password (second) before giving access. But the dialog order sometimes begins with network-pwd and then the whole sequence becomes: - network pwd - root pwd - network pwd This repetition of network pwd caught my eye earlier but never more than that. It just seemed a little lossy :-) This morning I got a first dialog to provide network-pwd for Net-5 for which I just hit return as usual. Repeated the empty return for root-pwd which came second. The result of course was that I had no network connection at which time I went to NetworkManager to open the Net-2 dialog by clicking its ixcon. I had to supply net-2 pwd after which I was expecting to have to supply root-pwd BUT that dialog NEVER came so here I am connected with root pwd never having been given. openSUSE Tumbleweed , Kernel=6.4.6-1-default on x86_64, DM=sddm, DE=KDE, ST=x11,grub2, GPT, BIOS-boot

New Thunderbird - convert to task
by James Knott 03 Aug '23

03 Aug '23

Thunderbird was recently updated to 115.0.1. One thing I've noticed is the convert to task function, where email could be converted to a calendar task. Anyone know what happened to it? It was something I used occasionally. tnx jk

Corrupted root
by Carl Spitzer {L Juno} 03 Aug '23

03 Aug '23

IN OpenSuse 15.2 I need to umount the / partition but I am getting device busy errors which block umount. Its Ext4 so I should be able to fsck this problem once unmounted. Then I can finish backing up the /home and proceed to upgrade to 15.5. How do I correct this device busy problem? The system crashed and shut off during a Firefox secession I think I had too many tabs open. CWSIV

Let's use ZRAM!
by Masaru Nomiya 03 Aug '23

03 Aug '23

Hello, Please have a look; https://www.reddit.com/r/openSUSE/comments/mfs53x/tip_enable_zram_easily/ it is written as follows; Zram uses your CPU to compress swap which makes your PC faster ( People say it boosts the performance even though it uses your CPU ) Using Zram can reduce the read/write cycles on an SSD and increases its durability. In adsdition from https://haydenjames.io/linux-performance-almost-always-add-swap-part2-zram/ [...] What is ZRAM? ZRAM creates a block device in RAM where pages that would otherwise be written to swap (disk/SSD) are instead first compressed, then stored. This allows for a much faster I/O of swap, and also, the data compression provides a significant amount of memory savings. A downside of ZRAM is that it uses some CPU for compression, but this is usually negated by the gains achieved from avoiding disk swap and the overall memory savings of compression. So keep those things in mind per your usage. In my case; 1. before installation of zram $ free -m total used free shared buff/cache available Mem: 96297 4831 65144 84 26321 90403 Swap: 4095 0 4095 2. after installtion $ free -m total used free shared buff/cache available Mem: 96297 5383 64598 77 26315 89857 Swap: 100393 0 100393 where; # zramctl --output-all NAME DISKSIZE DATA COMPR ALGORITHM STREAMS ZERO-PAGES TOTAL MEM-LIMIT MEM-USED MIGRATED MOUNTPOINT /dev/zram0 94G 4K 62B zstd 16 0 20K 0B 20K 0B [SWAP] You will soon see the effect of ZRAM implementation. The dramatic improvement in sound quality is very pleasing, as well as the crisp running of applications.

wonders of open source [showimage ]
by Daniel Bauer 01 Aug '23

01 Aug '23

Sometimes wonderful things happen and I want to share this with you. User gumb hinted me on this list to showimage as the successor of the abandoned kuickshow, that I urgently need for my daily work. But showimage lacked a feature I need [resizing window without zooming image]. gump provided me the email address of the developper, Martin Koller. Last Sunday I wrote an email to Martin describing my problem. Tuesday he sent me an executable with a new version and asked me to test it! Already this version did what I needed. I sent my report and added some suggestions of features he'd maybe liked to add for future releases. The same evening I received a new version that included those additional features (settings to turn off hover-menu, change background color; change brightness/contrast/gamma). Now I have a perfect showimage that is even better than kuickshow was (it also can display RAW files, Filename is showed better [at the beginning of the title, so it remains readable in small windows], mouse wheel can be used for zooming, all windows can be closed with one click/shortcut, brightness/contrast/gamma-changes can be undone...) Honestly I didn't expect such a fast and perfect solution for my problem and I know that even in open-source one cannot expect this. But it shows how helpful this mailing list often is, and that in the linux world things can happen that are absolutely unthinkable in Win/Mac surroundings. So sorry for taking your time for my sentimental post, but I just had to share my gratefulness! -- Daniel Bauer photographer Basel Málaga Twitter: @Marsfotografo (often explicit nudes) https://www.patreon.com/danielbauer https://www.daniel-bauer.com (nudes)
