Ssh Xforwarding works for app but not for help
by G McAlister 19 Jan '24

19 Jan '24

I'm using Opensuse Leap 15.5 in a Proxmox lxc container to run the gnucash app. I can ssh into the container and, with Xforwarding, I can use the app remotely on my KDE desktop. Great. However, in the Help menu, if I click on either "Tutorial and Concepts Guide" or "Contents", those windows don't open on my KDE desktop but on the container console. Doesn't seem like an app problem but maybe some detail of forwarding or odd behaviour of yelp, the gnome help viewer. Any thoughts, please?

Mono on Tumbleweed
by Roger Oberholtzer 19 Jan '24

19 Jan '24

Hi all, I'm not much of an expert in .NET/Mono. So bear with me... I have a vendor-supplied RPM that I want to install. It contains a Linux 64-bit C# application. When I try to install it, I get the following: error: Failed dependencies: mono(System.Collections) = 6.0.0.0 is needed by navsolve-cmd-1.2.1-2.x86_64 mono(System.ComponentModel.Primitives) = 6.0.0.0 is needed by navsolve-cmd-1.2.1-2.x86_64 mono(System.Console) = 6.0.0.0 is needed by navsolve-cmd-1.2.1-2.x86_64 mono(System.Diagnostics.Process) = 6.0.0.0 is needed by navsolve-cmd-1.2.1-2.x86_64 mono(System.Linq) = 6.0.0.0 is needed by navsolve-cmd-1.2.1-2.x86_64 mono(System.Runtime) = 6.0.0.0 is needed by navsolve-cmd-1.2.1-2.x86_64 mono(System.Text.RegularExpressions) = 6.0.0.0 is needed by navsolve-cmd-1.2.1-2.x86_64 mono(System.Threading) = 6.0.0.0 is needed by navsolve-cmd-1.2.1-2.x86_64 mono(System.Threading.Thread) = 6.0.0.0 is needed by navsolve-cmd-1.2.1-2.x86_64 mono(System.Xml.ReaderWriter) = 6.0.0.0 is needed by navsolve-cmd-1.2.1-2.x86_64 mono(System.Xml.XmlSerializer) = 6.0.0.0 is needed by navsolve-cmd-1.2.1-2.x86_64 I have used earlier releases of this software. So I think it generally works in openSUSE. I have the following installed on a Tumbleweed system: libmonosgen-2_0-1-6.12.0-5.5.x86_64 mono-data-6.12.0-5.4.x86_64 noto-sans-mono-fonts-20220607-66.279.noarch mono-web-6.12.0-5.4.x86_64 mono-wcf-6.12.0-5.4.x86_64 monodoc-core-6.12.0-5.5.x86_64 libmono-2_0-devel-6.12.0-5.5.x86_64 libmonosgen-2_0-devel-6.12.0-5.5.x86_64 libmonoboehm-2_0-devel-6.12.0-5.5.x86_64 mono-devel-6.12.0-5.4.x86_64 mono-data-oracle-6.12.0-5.4.x86_64 libmonoboehm-2_0-1-6.12.0-5.5.x86_64 mono-extras-6.12.0-5.4.x86_64 mono-data-sqlite-6.12.0-5.4.x86_64 mono-complete-6.12.0-5.5.x86_64 mono-core-6.12.0-5.4.x86_64 mono-locale-extras-6.12.0-5.5.x86_64 mono-mvc-6.12.0-5.4.x86_64 mono-winforms-6.12.0-5.4.x86_64 mono-winfxcore-6.12.0-5.4.x86_64 libmono-2_0-1-6.12.0-5.5.x86_64 ghc-mono-traversable-1.0.15.3-2.12.x86_64 mono-reactive-6.12.0-5.5.x86_64 wine-mono-8.0.0-60.1.noarch So it is .NET 6. Specifically, .NET 6.12.0. Which should be okay. I'm curious why the test is for = 6.0.0.0 and not >= 6.0.0.0. Could it be that the RPM is incorrect in this sense? Or does .NET require these exact matches? I do not see these available in the repo I use for this: https://packages.microsoft.com/opensuse/15/prod As I said, I'm not a .NET/MONO expert. -- Roger Oberholtzer

[oS-EN] Caps lock key and led problem - ideas?
by Carlos E. R. 18 Jan '24

18 Jan '24

Hi, I have a small nuisance with the led on the caps lock key of this laptop: on wakeup from hibernation it is on, while typing produces lowercase letters. What I do is hit the key twice. Is there something I could do? Is this a bug to be reported, for instance? Could I run something to read the led and switch it off if it is on? maybe automatically on return from hibernation. Write something to /proc? Ideas? -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from openSUSE 15.5 (Laicolasse))

Some YouTube videos don't play in Chrome after recent update
by Jeffrey Taylor 18 Jan '24

18 Jan '24

I updated my Leap 15.5 installation a few days ago. Trying to play https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RtmW2ek7WkQ gives this error message: "An error occurred. Please try again later." I played the same video yesterday and it played fine. Firefox plays fine. My repo list is below and messages for update. These messages are because I have some OpenSuSE packages that Packman has updates for. I prefer to use Chrome.

Get bootinfo script output?
by -pj 17 Jan '24

17 Jan '24

I have a machine displaying the following after POST 'TrustedGrub32 No TPM found error'. Trying to get the output of ./bootinfoscript . but unable to find an openSUSE live rescue cd either 32 or 64 bit from here (as I have a 32 bit machine here also): https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Tumbleweed_installation#LiveCDs/Rescue_CD link does not allow for 32 bit KDE Live or 64 bit KDE Live rescue .iso downloads. If I use the 32 bit openSUSE Tumbleweed offline image (I got elsewhere) boots up but am a bit lost on how to proceed to getting bootinfoscript results from the machine. Where can I find the 32 bit KDE live rescue cd .iso? If not available where to locate the 64 bit KDE live rescue cd .iso? 1. To include in this message, what is best way to mount a separate usb with bootinfo script in a folder; if choose to proceed with the openSUSE offline image and work from a TTY (CLI)? Also how to copy the bootinfoscript results file (once executed) to the separate usb drive for further review? -Thanks

Verify i686 Tumbleweed .iso
by -pj 16 Jan '24

Hi, I downloaded a i686 tumbleweed offline image here: https://get.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/ Things went well as far as downloading goes. I compared the output of sha256sum -b openSUSE-Tumbleweed-LegacyX86-DVD-i586-Snapshot20240112-Media.iso to the shasum on the website here: https://get.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/ They do not match. I have not worked with importing gpg public key yet. What is the recommended solution here to verify the .iso? paul@paul-Thinkcentre-M57p:~/Downloads> ls -lah total 3.4G drwxr-xr-x 1 paul users 194 Jan 15 23:33 . drwxr-xr-x 1 paul users 724 Jan 15 18:38 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 paul users 1.7K Jan 15 23:33 gpg-pubkey-29b700a4-62b07e22.asc -rw-r--r-- 1 paul users 3.4G Jan 15 23:15 openSUSE-Tumbleweed-LegacyX86-DVD-i586-Snapshot20240112-Media.iso paul@paul-Thinkcentre-M57p:~/Downloads> sha256sum -b openSUSE-Tumbleweed-LegacyX86-DVD-i586-Snapshot20240112-Media.iso 73528a6b357b9889983a21291138d2b4cd6fdb6df5a749d6f01db7ee2e6574fc *openSUSE-Tumbleweed-LegacyX86-DVD-i586-Snapshot20240112-Media.iso Thinkcentre-M57p:~/Downloads> I am not certain as to why the font changes while trying to paste from Konsole into Thunderbird.

Thunderbird - news feeds updating sporadically
by gumb 15 Jan '24

15 Jan '24

Leap 15.5, latest TB 115.6.0 Anybody else? Over twenty years been using Thunderbird with an ever-increasing number of blogs and news feeds. Never a problem until a couple of weeks ago. Now the feeds are updating unreliably. Some seem to update frequently as before, others sporadically, others not at all. No particular pattern I can spot. For example I have about twenty or more feeds for YouTube channels. Some update and others don't. If I right-click one showing as empty that I know normally has several new items each day, and click 'Get Messages' from the context menu, the new messages will instantly come through. There's also no configuration changes I've made that should have affected things. I've double checked the main config and the individual feed settings, tried toggling one or two settings back and forth in case the config was accidentally changed, but still the same inconsistency. They are not 'paused', and the network is always up. Tried restarting TB and rebooting. I'm pretty sure this didn't start after a version update either. I'd already been on 115.5.0 a while, and the recent update to 115.6.0 hasn't helped. Could there be some other dependency recently updated, like something that pulls things from the network, that has a bug, or do I have a corrupted feed database? If so, how to reset? gumb
