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

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.

Hmm, When I tried to install the onc-click installation files, .ymp, for Multimedia Codecs like MP3, DVD, DivX, MP4 from https://www.opensuse-community.org/ for either KDE or GNOME I get the following error message - The install link or file you opened does not contain instructions for openSUSE Leap 15.5. from the YasT 1-Click installer.

DVD player doesn't recognize DVD's
by Mark Misulich 26 Sep '24

26 Sep '24

Hi, I have built up a new computer and the DVD RW doesn't recognize DVDs. I have tried it with a commercially written DVD, and with a blank DVD +RW. The player spins and tries to recognize the DVD without success until it times out and stops spinning. The other player on this computer is a Blu-Ray RW player that I salvaged from a computer my neighbor threw out in the trash. When I put a commercially written DVD or a blank DVD in the Blu-ray player it is recognized, and a written disc is recognized as the source disc in K3b. But no disc is ever recognized in the DVD RW player as the destination. Here's some info to begin with as I tried to troubleshoot this: # dmesg | grep -E -i --color 'cdrom|dvd|cd/rw|writer' [ 1.846359] [ T732] ata5.00: ATAPI: TSSTcorp CDDVDW SH-S223L, SB02, max UDMA/100 [ 1.848860] [ T187] scsi 4:0:0:0: CD-ROM TSSTcorp CDDVDW SH-S223L SB02 PQ: 0 ANSI: 5 [ 2.152487] [ T584] sr 4:0:0:0: [sr0] scsi3-mmc drive: 48x/48x writer dvd-ram cd/rw xa/form2 cdda tray [ 2.152489] [ T584] cdrom: Uniform CD-ROM driver Revision: 3.20 [ 2.324886] [ T584] sr 5:0:0:0: [sr1] scsi3-mmc drive: 48x/48x writer dvd-ram cd/rw xa/form2 cdda tray # more /proc/sys/dev/cdrom/info CD-ROM information, Id: cdrom.c 3.20 2003/12/17 drive name: sr1 sr0 drive speed: 48 48 drive # of slots: 1 1 Can close tray: 1 1 Can open tray: 1 1 Can lock tray: 1 1 Can change speed: 1 1 Can select disk: 0 0 Can read multisession: 1 1 Can read MCN: 1 1 Reports media changed: 1 1 Can play audio: 1 1 Can write CD-R: 1 1 Can write CD-RW: 1 1 Can read DVD: 1 1 Can write DVD-R: 1 1 Can write DVD-RAM: 1 1 Can read MRW: 0 1 Can write MRW: 0 1 Can write RAM: 1 1 I pared this to just the players # lsblk sr0 11:0 1 1024M 0 rom sr1 11:1 1 2.2G 0 rom I know only enough to check and see if the player is recognized by the system (Tumbleweed), I'll need some help to go farther. Thanks, Mark

qemu help needed
by Frank McCormick 26 Sep '24

26 Sep '24

I hope there are some QEMU experts on this list. I am running QEMU under Tumbleweed and have 3 other distros installed. The one common thing among the three...if I leave their desktops untouched for 10 or 15 minutes, my keyboard gets forgotten by QEMU. When I come back to the virtual machine, the keyboard is completely unresponsive and the machine will have to be shutdown and re-run to get it back. The mouse however continues to work. All three other distros have the identical PROBLEM so it's to connected to them. I am running a wireless (USB) Logitech keyboard and mouse combo which, outside of QEMU never gives me problems. I have googled the problem several times recently but that proved fruitless. Hope someone here has a solution or a suggestion. Thanks
