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.

Screen is flickering
by Jon Cosby 27 Mar '24

27 Mar '24

My screen is flickering in Leap 15.5/GNOME. It lasts one or two seconds and doesn't seem to happen when the mouse and keyboard are active. Other than that, it seems random. I have an Intel CometLake-S GT2 graphics card and an HP Pavilion 27xw monitor. The screen resolution and refresh rate are set to the defaults: 1920, 16:9 and 60%. This has been going on for awhile, maybe since installing 15.5. Any suggestions to help me troubleshoot this? Thanks. Jon Cosby

kde5/6: recent files/recent applications
by mh＠mike.franken.de 26 Mar '24

26 Mar '24

Hi *, the problem already existed in kde5, but continued in kde6: The menues for "recent files" and "recent applications" stay empty in the start menu, in dolphin and other apps. In .local/share/RecentDocuments/ all the desktop icons for recent files are still existing. The list is updated whenever I open a new document, but nevertheless the "recent files" menu remains empty. As for "recent applications" I can't even find a folder, where they would be stored. I found a few, mostly very old postings on the net, but no fitting answer. Anyone any idea? TIA. Bye. Michael.

[oS-en] How to stitch scanned papers?

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 How to stitch scanned papers? I have a map that is larger than my scanners, so I took 3 partial scans. I want to stitch them into one single png file.

Re: KDE Megarelease 6
by Chuck Davis 23 Mar '24

23 Mar '24

There have been numerous complaints about the update to Plasma 6. I believe many of them can be avoided by logging on to IceWM and doing the zypper dup operation. Then reboot and things appear to be normal. YMMV but it's worth a try. You can select the IceWM @ the normal KDE logon in the lower left corner. Hope this helps somebody avoid the mess....

[oS-en] Can someone help me with imapfilter?
by Carlos E. R. 22 Mar '24

22 Mar '24

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I was told recently about this tool. It uses lua language to do filtering operations on a remote imap server. I have some rules that work, and one that doesn't. I'm following the examples here: https://github.com/lefcha/imapfilter/blob/master/samples/config.lua -- Get messages with the specified "Sender" header, which are older than -- 30 days. results = account1.INBOX:contain_field('sender', 'owner@announce-list') * account1.INBOX:is_older(30) -- Move messages to the "announce" mailbox inside the "lists" folder. results:move_messages(account1['lists/announce']) I have in ~/.imapfilter/config.lua: - -- define and name the account gmx_l = IMAP { server = 'imap.gmx.com', username = '...', password = '...', ssl = 'tls1' } - -- define the operation on the named account. Non_OT_GX_L = gmx_l.INBOX:contain_field('List-Id:', '<users.lists.opensuse.org>') * gmx_l.INBOX:is_older(2) Non_OT_GX_L:move_messages(gmx_l['temp_g']) The purpose is to find emails that contain the header List-Id: <users.lists.opensuse.org> AND are older than 2 days. Then it moves them to a folder named 'temp_g' But it is moving 148 mails, many of which have a different List-Id header, or no such header at all. I don't know what is going on, or where to ask (not on github, nobody answers there). It is a very intersting tool, but it is useless to me if it misbehaves like this. I have a log of the transaction with the server - actually, 3 servers, but the one that has problems is marked with "(7)", so I had to trim a bit the text here for clarity): S (7): * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 CHILDREN ENABLE ID IDLE LIST-EXTENDED LIST-STATUS LITERAL- MOVE NAMESPACE SASL-IR SORT SPECIAL-USE THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT UIDPLUS UNSELECT WITHIN AUTH=LOGIN AUTH=PLAIN] IMAP server ready H migmx106 28.0 IMAP-1MwxIx-1q...

Audacity VS 'locale'?
by Ben T. Fender 22 Mar '24

22 Mar '24

Audacity is refusing to launch (AGAIN) on both Slowroll AND Tumbleweed, looks like maybe because of 'LOCALE' (AGAIN) ..but why does a freakin' wave editor need 'locale' at all and why do I keep running into locale problems on opensuse (no issues on Artix, Devuan, Slackware, AvLinux)? https://paste.opensuse.org/pastes/d108bcf3f42e

3rd-party app messing with initrd
by Michael Fischer 22 Mar '24

22 Mar '24

For $WORK, I was asked to install a new VPN software (Zscaler). Like many such things, the "linux support" is a mixed bag - it seems to assume that one is running certain systemd things, and a gnome desktop (which I am not). Suffice it to say, the "expected behavior" didn't happen, so I went digging in /var/log, and found the install log... which showed that a) the installer was clever enough to zypper install a bunch of packages b) it called dracut to re-write an initrd. This seems more than a little "rude" to do on a system. I uninstalled the package, but I see that the initrd symlink in /boot/ still points to the same (new) initrd. total 79792 drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 16384 Dec 31 1969 efi -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1725 Aug 26 2020 boot.readme -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 13881401 Nov 25 2020 vmlinux-5.3.18-lp152.1.g0adb0e0-default.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 228245 Nov 25 2020 config-5.3.18-lp152.1.g0adb0e0-default -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4605329 Nov 25 2020 System.map-5.3.18-lp152.1.g0adb0e0-default -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 484 Nov 25 2020 sysctl.conf-5.3.18-lp152.1.g0adb0e0-default -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 432948 Nov 25 2020 symvers-5.3.18-lp152.1.g0adb0e0-default.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9015160 Nov 25 2020 vmlinuz-5.3.18-lp152.1.g0adb0e0-default -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 228385 Dec 5 2020 config-5.3.18-lp152.57-default -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4605295 Dec 5 2020 System.map-5.3.18-lp152.57-default -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 484 Dec 5 2020 sysctl.conf-5.3.18-lp152.57-default -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 432948 Dec 5 2020 symvers-5.3.18-lp152.57-default.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 13883322 Dec 5 2020 vmlinux-5.3.18-lp152.57-default.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9035952 Dec 5 2020 vmlinuz-5.3.18-lp152.57-default lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 39 Dec 18 2020 vmlinuz -> vmlinuz-5.3.18-lp152.1.g0adb0e0-default lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 38 Dec 18 2020 initrd -> initrd-5.3.18-lp152.1.g0adb0e0-default -rw------- 1 root root 12654088 Mar 22 09:48 initrd-5.3.18-lp152.1.g0adb0e0-default -rw------- 1 root root 12647860 Mar 22 09:48 initrd-5.3.18-lp152.57-default drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Mar 22 10:18 grub2 FWIW, I see $ uname -a Linux concorde 5.3.18-lp152.57-default #1 SMP Fri Dec 4 07:27:58 UTC 2020 (7be5551) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux though the vmlinuz-5.3.18-lp152.1.g0adb0e0-default shows 'Nov 25 2020' as the date.

If I have to go that route, could someone detail the appropriate commands to do such? Many TIA. Michael -- Michael Fischer michael(a)visv.net
