MC on Tumbleweed doesn't check ~/.ssh/config for Host/Port or use public/private keys on first connect?
by David C. Rankin 08 Oct '24

08 Oct '24

All, Patrick was having issues with ssh/sftp in MC on TW so I was troubleshooting on my TW install. The F1 "help" says mc will check ~/.ssh/known_hosts and use public/private keys. However, on first connection with mc, the password dialog is shown and a password is required. This doesn't fly if sshd/PasswordAuthentication is set to No to disable password auth. However on second connect, or reconnecting, to the remote with sftp, no password dialog is displayed. (key agent or something must be allowing it or some internal mc process) Should using the Left/Right menu "SFTP Link ..." command or connecting from the command-line in mc with: cd sftp://user@host:port/path/to use host public/private key-pairs on first connection? If so, is this a bug? Can somebody confirm on TW the behavior they see with mc. Thanks. If it is a bug I'll file it. Currently: https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=midnight%20commander&… doesn't show anything listed regarding this behavior. Though I can confirm behavior in: (mc-wrapper.sh does not exit to current dir any longer) https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1203617 and (slow start on some boxes and not others) https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1175930 -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Migrating Thunderbird personalized settings to another machine:
by -pj 08 Oct '24

Hi, machine here openSUSE Tumbleweed 20241002. I would like to migrate Thunderbirds personalized/settings and mail accounts to another machine. Instead of going through and manually setting things up from default on the other machine. Is this a fairly common and straightforward procedure? Can you tell me how preferred to do this? The other machine is same TW snapshot also. -Best Regards

Tumbleweed - Where are SDL3_image, etc..
by David C. Rankin 07 Oct '24

07 Oct '24

Devs, all, Tumbleweed provides the SDL3-devel package but doesn't list any packages for SDL3_image, SDL3_ttf, etc.. I would expect them in the same main TW repo along with SDL3-devel and SDL2-devel, SDL2_image, SDL2_ttf, etc. which are all there. Are the supporting SDL3_xxx packages named something different that I'm just not finding? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

TW - 6.11 kernel - Nvidia G04 build just fine :)
by David C. Rankin 07 Oct '24

07 Oct '24

All, The G03 (340), G04 (390) and G05 (470) Nvidia drivers build without further patching on the 6.11 kernel. Since starting the patch scramble last week, this looked to be the case, but had not tested since Arch has not yet put out the 6.11 kernel in its core repo. (openSUSE TW Beats Arch on 6.11 kernel -- should be the byline) The open-source driver for current cards and GPUs did need some patching and there was an open question whether changes to the fbdev header in the kernel would need a patch for the closed source drivers as well. Nope, all good! $ uname -r 6.11.0-1-default $ lsmod | grep nvidia nvidia_drm 65536 1 nvidia_modeset 1339392 3 nvidia_drm nvidia 19791872 83 nvidia_modeset ipmi_msghandler 94208 2 ipmi_devintf,nvidia video 81920 1 nvidia We haven't has a smooth minor version bump since 6.8 -> 6.9 (and none in memory before that for a long time). Small favors. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

fish://

I used to access files on other Linux computers by pressing Alt F2 and then entering fish://<host name>, which would open up a file manager window on the remote system. This doesn't seem to work anymore? Any idea why? Is there a substitute? tnx jk

We pipewire users can EASILY get better sounds!
by Masaru Nomiya 07 Oct '24

07 Oct '24

Hello, I've been trying to make a filter for a few months now, in order to improve the sound I get from Pipewire, which has improved dramatically since version 1.0.0. Today, I thought I'd finally managed to get a sound I was satisfied with, so I took the filter off to check the quality of the sound I was getting from my own filter, and was astonished to hear the sound. The sound through my own filter was not so much different, and the only difference was that there was no reverbation in my own filter. So, I went to the doctor for my regular check-up, and while I was waiting to be seen, I suddenly had the idea that "pipewire was using the plugins I had installed to create my filter". When I got home and checked the source, as I had suspected, it had been. On the other hand, I also found that pulseaudio does not have this function. BTW, when I installed the lv2 (lv2-SmartAmp) plugin for guitar sounds, which I had only installed the vst3 plugin for, and played it, the sound quality clearly improved. What I don't understand is that I have installed plugins to improve the sound of string, wind and percussion instruments, but they are all vst3 plugins, and I have created my own filter using vst3 plugins. But there is no change in the sound without the filter... (_ _? Anyway, I created my own filter in the following way, and I used synthesize to incorporate filters that improve the sound quality of various instruments, along with filters that enhance the bass, but this seems to be the same as the sound source processing that pipewire does. synrthesize --> equalize --> 7.1 virtualize --> reveb So I think it would be good to install the lv2 plugins that matches each sink, but I have installed too many lv2 plugins, so I don't know which plug-in matches other than the guitar. However, I think it's worth a try, so please give it a go. By the way, when checking the effect of installing plugins, be sure to execute $ systemctl --user restart pipewire pipewire-pulse wireplumber. I think that people who like jazz and live performances will be fine with this setup (listening on the same floor as the performers), but I like the hall tone we get when listening in a concert hall or church, so I make and use a reverb filter. If there are any people who want it, I will upload the filter, so please let me know. Best Regards & Good Night. --- ┏━━┓彡 Masaru Nomiya mail-to: nomiya @ lake.dti.ne.jp ┃＼／彡 ┗━━┛ "It's music that matters." -- "Brassed Off" 1996 British comedy-drama film --

Re: Migrating Thunderbird personalized settings to another machine:
by -pj 05 Oct '24

05 Oct '24

Accident sent to Patrick's email. Sending to list now. There was no instance of Thunderbird open (only .thunderbird folder transfered) when this error dialog displayed. I had passed zypper in thunderbird ....waited for that to finish, went to start menu > Internet > Thunderbird ....error message. I think it has something to do with Thunderbird initial start context box not being not being completed. By renaming the .thunderbird folder and restarting Thunderbird there was no error dialog. Thunderbird started and presented the Name, email, password context (This is for Mozilla retaining information is case of possible abuse situations?). Once filled I closed Thunderbird, renamed .thunderbird.bak to .thunderbird , then restarted Thunderbird with accounts from migration in place. Thunderbird's first execution I think asks for this by default? Where is that data kept though? It is *not* kept in .thunderbird I believe.

Nvidia G03 - G05 driver users - Get your patches ready - Linux 6.11 was released today...
by David C. Rankin 03 Oct '24

03 Oct '24

Devs, All, The 6.11 kernel was released today so it will soon show up in Tumbleweed. To avoid a repeat of the 6.10 Nvidia kernel driver update delay, it's time to start the patch scramble (if required). Very few minor version updates don't require patching of the Nvidia driver for the G03->G05 drivers. The only one in recent memory was the 6.8 -> 6.9 update. I'll start looking now, but would welcome any help. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
