03 Apr '24

Yesterday, I finally got sound going on my Linux setup. I downloaded RealPlayer G2 and it worked beautifully. Today, RealPlayer run but no sound coming out. All other sound functions still work. I can still play my CD, have system sound BUT no sound when I run RealPlayer. /var/log/message said kernel: Sound: DMA (output) timed out - IRQ/DRQ config error? but KDE sound still work. I have re-installed RealPlayer 3 times now, still no sound when I run the RealPlayer. Any help is appreciated.

Copy and Paste does not work while installing programs
by Per Inge Oestmoen 11 Dec '23

11 Dec '23

Hello all! I have four machines here, all with openSUSE Leap 15.4. With three of them there are no particular problems, but with the one I am using now there is a consistent, reproducible error: When I am installing a number of programs, I normally copy my password when installing the first in the row. Then, it is easy to paste in the same password for each successive installation. However, with this machine that is impossible. I copy the password, but after I have exited the dialog box the copied password is erased from memory and I have to type the password each time when doing the subsequent installations. Further; as long as I have the dialog box open the password copied is kept in memory and can be pasted into a document I made to test this, but when I close the dialog box in order to go to Yast2 the password is evidently erased since it then cannot be pasted into the document. It is gone, but on my other machines it is kept in memory and can be pasted into the dialog box. See the attached screen shot; that is where it happens. What configuration error have I inadvertently made, since the password is not kept in memory on this one machine? Sincerely, Per Inge Oestmoen, Norway

keyboard becomes extremely slow
by mh＠mike.franken.de 26 Nov '23

26 Nov '23

Hi *, for some time now I have a problem with the keyboard on my notebook. It becomes extremely slow, i.e. only one or two keypresses are shown every 10 seconds. Special keyboard shortcuts like Alt-F4 or Ctrl-F5 are working as expected. Switching to a Linux console with Ctrl-Alt-[0-9] is still working, too. In the Linux console typing works without any problems then. Switching back to KDE again/still shows the problem. The only "solution" I found is to logout and login. For a while the keyboard then works as expected, until the same problem reoccurs. The intervals the problem shows up vary between once an evening to every 10 minutes. It happens in all programs one can type anything, i.e. OO Writer, graphical terminals or even dialog boxes of any kind. It happens with the internal notebook keyboard and also with an external USB keyboard. Machine: Type: Convertible System: Dell product: XPS 13 9310 2-in-1 v: N/A ´ openSUSE Tumbleweed 20230509 Any idea, what the reason might be and what to do against it? TIA. Bye. Michael.

Tumbleweed Doesn't Always Shut Down
by Mark Misulich 27 Oct '23

27 Oct '23

Hi, I've had a problem with my desktop computer for some months, in that it doesn't always shut down completely with opensuse. That is, it's an intermittent problem. The computer is set up as a multiboot, and does always shut down when I shut down Windows. Here are the specs for opensuse and the computer. I'm running: opensuse Tumbleweed 20230819 KDE Plasma Version 5.27.7 KDE Frameworks Version 5.109.0 Qt Version 5.15.10 Kernel Version 6.4.11-1-default (64-bit) Graphics Platform X11 Hardware Processors 8 x Intel Core i7-7700 CPU @ 3.60GHz Memory 62.7 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor Nvidia GeForce GT 1030/PCIe/SSE2 Manufacturer Gigabyte Technology Co. Ltd. Product Name B250M-DS3H I tried to run this by the forum to get some answers, and you can see that they haven't been able to figure it out. Here's the hyperlink to the thread: https://forums.opensuse.org/t/tumbleweed-wont-shut-down/166098/31 I would appreciate the list's help to try and resolve this issue. Thanks, Mark

Recommended docker tutorial for working with large web packages?
by David C. Rankin 03 Oct '23

03 Oct '23

All, Does anyone have a favorite link that explains the "midlevel" management of large web projects with docker. I have searched and read, but I seem to be just getting disjointed bits of basic how to or being stuck in the full docker.com reference. I have the basics, I can pull, attach, detach, exec, restart, manage IDs, for normal single apps, etc..., but I'm flummoxed trying to sort out and get eGroupware configured and running in docker with docker-compose and the 10 other apps it pulls in, collabra, rocketchat, swoolepush, etc... docker compose pulls everything and sets it up and running, but all I can get back from nginx over :8080 is "I'm working, but the page has permanently moved..." Nothing on the other exported port of :4443. So far I've ended up with 5 source trees of eGroupware in /var/lib/docker/... in 4 volumes and 1 overlay for the various configs I've tried with intervening 'docker compose up' and 'docker compose down'. Worth a chance to ask if someone has a favorite link or howto that discusses docker at that level that not on page 227 of the full manual. (yes, I would use the opensuse package, but the server I'm working with is running Arch, and all the egroupware folks cater to in their howto's is Ubuntu -- though why it matters for a container is odd, but it does, and unfortunately the traditional egroupware web-install is no longer actively supported - while it still works it quite flaky due to push-notifications replacing normal Ajax or js page update and the push implemented only works within the container.) Any suggestions welcomed, in the meantime I'll keep plowing through the docker.com reference material... Oh joy... -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Leap 15.5 and busybox gzip
by Roger Oberholtzer 29 Sep '23

29 Sep '23

I have a strange situation on Leap 15.5 I am trying to install a number of packages (rpmbuild, yast2-installation) and have a problem with gzip. Or more accurately how is seems to be installed. I have installed kmod, which in turn installs suse-module-tools. So far ok. The problem is that kmod/suse-module-tools seems to want to install busybox-gzip instead of the standard gzip package. That provides: > rpm -ql busybox-gzip-1.35.0-150400.4.5.1.noarch /bin/gunzip /bin/gzip /bin/zcat /usr/bin/gunzip /usr/bin/gzip /usr/bin/uncompress /usr/bin/zcat /usr/bin/zgrep /usr/bin/zless /usr/bin/zmore When I try to install one of the packages I need, I get this: Problem: the to be installed yast2-installation-4.5.17-150500.3.3.1.noarch requires 'gzip', but this requirement cannot be provided not installable providers: gzip-1.10-150200.10.1.x86_64[Leap_15.5] gzip-1.10-150200.10.1.x86_64[openSUSE_-_OSS] Solution 1: deinstallation of busybox-gzip-1.35.0-150400.4.5.1.noarch Solution 2: do not install yast2-installation-4.5.17-150500.3.3.1.noarch Solution 3: break yast2-installation-4.5.17-150500.3.3.1.noarch by ignoring some of its dependencies kmod/suse-module-tools has blocked installing the standard gzip package: Problem: the installed busybox-gzip-1.35.0-150400.4.5.1.noarch conflicts with 'gzip' provided by the to be installed gzip-1.10-150200.10.1.x86_64 Solution 1: deinstallation of busybox-gzip-1.35.0-150400.4.5.1.noarch Solution 2: do not install gzip-1.10-150200.10.1.x86_64 Both kmod/suse-module-tools and are from: Distribution: SUSE Linux Enterprise 15 I don't see that I am enabling any repos that should change this. And even if I did, why is kmod/suse-module-tools using busybox? Although I could probably work past this, I think it would mess up when I next tried to do an update. And I am also trying to get this all to work in a KIWI-generated OEM Leap 15.5 installer where it must just work. Anyone else see this dependency on busybox-gzip? It's a show stopper re my KIWI build. -- Roger Oberholtzer

no more screen lock in kde of OS 15.5?
by Daniel Bauer 27 Sep '23

27 Sep '23

Hi, there was an entry in the right-click menu of the KDE desktop to lock the screen (so that a password is required to come back). This menu entry isn't there anymore. Is this my fault? Can I bring it back? Thanks for hints Daniel OS 15.5, KDE -- Daniel Bauer photographer Basel Málaga Twitter: @Marsfotografo (often explicit nudes) https://www.patreon.com/danielbauer https://www.daniel-bauer.com (nudes)

Reading installed packages... Resolving package dependencies... Problem: nothing provides '(python311-pooch >= 1.0 with python311-pooch < 1.7)' needed by the to be installed python311-librosa-0.10.1-1.4.noarch Solution 1: do not install pitivi-2023.03-1.3.x86_64 Solution 2: break python311-librosa-0.10.1-1.4.noarch by ignoring some of its dependencies Choose from above solutions by number or cancel [1/2/c/d/?] (c): Any suggestion or should I raise a bug?
