[oS-EN] AppStream
by Carlos E. R. 01 Apr '24

01 Apr '24

Hi, On the openSUSE package search page, https://search.opensuse.org/packages/ (which has no entry for Leap 15.5 yet) I get a button named [AppStream Install]. Clicking there nothing happens. The URL is: appstream://com.github.louis77.tuner Obviously, FF doesn't know what to do with that, and doesn't even say I don't know what this is. The wiki page on it: https://en.opensuse.org/AppStream Doesn't provide useful information, like how to install such a package on Leap or what to do with FF. I have done this on another computer, but I'm not on that location and don't have my notes on it. Google wants to teach me on how to create them, which is not what I want. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from Elesar, using openSUSE Leap 15.5)

[oS-en] Problem with VLC

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I like to watch youtube videos using VLC instead of Firefox on a certain machine, because with FF the CPU goes to 100% and video stutters on full screen, while with VLC it keeps at low power. But lately it doesn't work for me in the machine I typically do this (it works on my desktop machine). I tried with two videos: yt-dlp "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gPrCcTI7mZY" yt-dlp https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xovjFeP2kEQm (the first one in Spanish, the second in English) cer@Isengard:~/tmp> vlc Was\ it\ a\ false\ flag\ operation？\ \[xovjFeP2kEQ\].webm VLC media player 3.0.20 Vetinari (revision 3.0.20-0-g6f0d0ab126b) [000055a75b4c4540] main libvlc: Running vlc with the default interface.

available micro packages list?
by bent fender 31 Mar '24

31 Mar '24

I want to try Leap or Tumbleweed MICRO but without every one of these packages it would not be timely yet. Is there a list of already available flatpacks? qjckctl qsynth rosegarden audacity kdenlive simplescreenrecorder vlc sonic-visualiser hydrogen ZAFS-dssi yoshimi Another question, since TW is NOT a stable system but MICRO is advertised as an extremenly stable one, how are we to think of TW-Micro?

No Login, no Graphics after update to Tumbleweed 20230211-0
by Peter Maffter 30 Mar '24

30 Mar '24

Hello, after the update the screen only shows a '-'. All the usual other tty screens that you get with e.g. STRG-ALT-F1 are also gone. I can connect to the PC via ssh from my Ubuntu Laptop and check what is going on. I am using an old GTX 570 on that PC. Previously when the G06 stuff was installed instead of updating the needed G04 stuff, I was able to install NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-390.157.run manually and the login and XFCE worked. But now even that fails. :-( Any pointers? Is that the beginning of the things that are named in Subject "Nvidia 390x driver users - glibc 2.37 will bring bad news" ?

dup to 20240325 sdbootutil-1 scriptlet failed - Can't determine root subvolume
by Michael Hamilton 27 Mar '24

27 Mar '24

I got an error on dup to 20240325. Is this something that I need to fix? I'm using ext4 for root, maybe that's a factor. After the dup, the system rebooted OK. Last few lines of the dup where the error occured: %transfiletriggerin(sdbootutil-1+git20240321.04bfbac-1.1.x86_64) script output: Error: Can't determine root subvolume warning: %transfiletriggerin(sdbootutil-1+git20240321.04bfbac-1.1.x86_64) scriptlet failed, exit status 1 Running post-transaction scripts ............................................................................................................ [done] There are running programs which still use files and libraries deleted or updated by recent upgrades. They should be restarted to benefit from the latest updates. Run 'zypper ps -s' to list these programs. Thanks, Michael

Ooops!
by Fred 27 Mar '24

27 Mar '24

Never play computer when tired. It said, 40 updates available, so I said ok and went back to my surfing. A bit later I checked and it said, reboot is needed, so I did but the #$%^#! system wouldn't come back up. So I then began trying to remember how to roll back updates. Then I thought about my system install flash drive, unplugged the one with my movies and, for some unknown reason I hit the reset again and POOF! It booted up. Stupid system was trying to boot to a media drive but gave no error about no boot block or anything. Note to self: don't admin while tired.
