Today we present Tilix, a tiling terminal emulator, and share some tips that make this terminal an excellent tool for all users especially system administrators. As a reminder, Tilix (formerly Terminix) is a terminal emulator using libvte and written in D language with a GTK3+ interface. As such, it is therefore specially designed to integrate […]

LEAP 15.1 Kernel-default

Hi,

I had som problems with GPU drivers. I installed the pro versions of both nvidia and amdgpu. It's a long story and will not bother you with that. I manged to get rid of the drivers, but i could not boot into the graphical interface. I tried to upgrade the newest kernel, but didn't succeed. I got a message right before plasma should be loaded that kernel modules could not be loaded. My solution was to load an earlier kernel:

Code:
dagr@opensuse:~> uname -r
4.12.14-lp151.28.32-default
Now I can boot into plasma, and I'm using the nouvau driver. It seems to work fearly well, but it does not update well. The webpages can be a little scrobbly. My main concern is to update to the latest kernel, which in yast says it's version 4.12.14-lp151.28.36.1. How can I do this and keep the setup which I have in kernel 28.32-1? When I now boot up the machine , I have to scroll down to the 28.32.1-kernel and chose this, I want to replace the old 4.12.14-lp151.28.36.1 with a kernel with the same version number, but works with my setup and load all kernels.

TUMBLEWEED Autostart does not work (works ok in openSUSE Leap 15.1)

January 27, 2020, 10:43 am

I have Creative Gigaworks T20 speakers connected to my Tumbleweed. This speaker has an auto power management feature which complies with energy efficiency regulation required by certain regions (Europe). This means that the speaker will automatically shut off in 10 minutes if no sound is transmitted to the speakers.


I thought I'd make a little script that plays a little bit of audio and I was cheating on the speaker to stay on. This worked fine in openSUSE Leap 15.1, but will no longer work on Tumbleweed after the upgrade.


This is my script (wakeup-speakers.sh file)


while true; do
mplayer /home/raija/skriptit/creative/20Hz_TestTone2_4.mp3
sleep 9m
done


And it can be found in ~/.config/autostart-scripts. The file itself work ok.


I can find it in messages (/var/log/) but no error message?
messages:2020-01-27T00:13:59.910977+02:00 kone3 ksmserver[1640]: ksmserver: Starting autostart script "/home/raija/.config/autostart-scripts/wakeup-speakers.sh"


How should I change my script or what I should do?

Hello, I am installing Leap 15.1 from scratch onto a system with an 850 GB disk. I want to use ext4 partitions only, and Leap 15.1 suggests 76.47 GiB for /,
500 MiB for /system/efi, and 172.94 GiB for /home. As far as I can see, I am 'missing' about 600 GiB, has anybody a suggestion what 'to do with them'? My backup of /home is approximately 150 GiB, but there is more GiBsto come, should I (e.g.) introduce specific partitions for specific applications?

Suggestions are welcome!

Have come across a few threads saying it is "do-able", and apparently "easy", but can't seem to find any how-tos....

OTHER VERSION how to upgrade firefox beyond the ones available to your OS?

January 28, 2020, 2:48 am
$

Hi
I have been donated an old linux workstation, openSUSE V 11.4 & 2.6.37.1-1.2.
-It has a huge amount of "specialty" software I want to use, that was laboriously put in place by the original owner, -lots of false starts, dependencies, etc., etc.
-So, at least for now, I absolutely don't want to upgrade the OS, of course, -as I would lose all of that.

But, of course, firefox that's on there is hopelessly outdated, and even blocked from this forum...

Some background:

An attempt to bring a new browser to that machine:
1) I went to the mozilla site and also https://software.opensuse.org/package/MozillaFirefox -and downloaded the firefox they wanted to give me (v72) for linux.

2) I un-tarred it in a sub-directory I made in my home directory.

3) Inside that sub-directory, doing a "which firefox" shows it to point to that new firefox inside the sub-directory, but outside is the old, "working one", still available.


-Expecting nothing great, I try to run firefox. (I assume the minimum that the libraries won't jive, etc., but, let's see).

4) The errors listed out:
(After running this line command: /home/me/ff_try/firefox/firefox )

XPCOMGlueLoad error for file /home/qingbing/ff_try/firefox/libmozgtk.so:
libgtk-3.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Couldn't load XPCOM.

5) Finding and grepping around, it does seem I only have libgtk-2 floating around (I am v11.4, eh?).

6) -I've already found this site:
http://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/dis...s/suse/x86_64/
(and had just used it to get my wlan wireless up and running by grabbing iw)
-I found an rpm that seems to be what the error message says I am missing?? : libgtk-3-0-3.0.0-3.3.x86_64.rpm
-And there are other rpm's beginning with gtk3-xxx.rpm, also ...


I'm pretty afraid to try to install this "rpm" library -- don't even know how to ascertain what libraries are in place, and whether this would over-ride the current libgtk-2 and ruin everything???
-Or will it just be another set of libraries available for programs that ask for it??? -Don't want to wreck what I do have!

-I'm hoping I can get some guru help here!!!

Thanks very much

LEAP 15.1 Bootloader setup for high resolution monitor

January 28, 2020, 8:01 am

Hi All, this is about monitor graphics resolution problems, while installing OpenSUSE (either Leap, or Tumbleweed, same monitor graphics behavior).

I have one PC and two monitors. Using only one monitor at one time (this is not a dual monitor application / situation). The monitors are swapped.
First monitor has 'low' resolution: LG (1920x1080 max, 24inch diagonal) and has no graphics problems when OpenSUSE is installed. Easy but low resolution and physically smaller.
The second monitor has 'higher' resolution: ASUS (2560x1440 max, 27inch diagonal, it is specified to handle the lower 1920x1080 as well) and is very difficult to setup when OpenSUSE is installed.
Here 'very difficult' means the screen image either or looses (horizontal or vertical) sync, not sure and after several text lines go by, I can not see any coherent image during the first 'boot from hard disk'.

I managed only by trial and error - a time consuming Boot-loader setup process - to make the ASUS graphics work well, see the hardware and Boot-loader details below.

The question I have is:
How can this Boot-loader process be simplified and automated from the very beginning at the first OpenSUSE install?
I had to physically swap the monitors each time I was changing the Optional Kernel Command Line Parameters, one parameter at a time.

Details of what setup finally worked:

LEAP 15.1 Default font now showing some characters in Discord

I've just installed OpenSUSE Leap 15.1 on my laptop, and everything is working very nicely. The only problem I have is that the default font for Leap 15.1 does not include all UTF-8 characters (I presume it is UTF-8 encoded) that Discord uses. Which font should I install that includes the same characters as the default font on Windows 10 Pro does?

What command would I use to install the font?

Thank you for your help.

LEAP 15.1 Can't write to NFS share anymore

Not sure why, but since installing 15.1 (IINM) I can't write to a NFS share from the client.

I have only one writable share on the server and 4 client boxes that access it.
Three of the boxes have the same user as the server, but none can write. All can read and copy files.

On the server side (only writable share shown):

Code:
:~> cat /etc/exports
/home/brunomcl/Gravados/Publico *(rw,root_squash,sync,no_subtree_check)
Code:
:~> ls -l ~/Gravados
drwxrwxrwx  11 brunomcl users  4096 jan 21 18:24 Publico
On one of the 3 boxes:

Code:
192.168.0.8:/home/brunomcl/Gravados/Publico      /home/brunomcl/Shares/Publico  nfs    soft,noauto,rw,users,timeo=100,retrans=200  0  0
On the 4th client side:

Code:
192.168.0.8:/home/brunomcl/Gravados/Publico  /home/juliana/Shares/Publico  nfs      noauto,users                    0  0
On one of the three boxes with the same user:
Code:
:~/Shares> ls -l
drwxrwxrwx 11 brunomcl users 4096 jan 21 18:24 Publico
I don't have access to the 4th box right now, but the mount point is under user juliana's home, and has normal permissions, something like:

Code:
drwxr-xr-x  5 juliana users    236 jan 21 17:30 Publico
What am I not seeing?

TUMBLEWEED LDB update to 2.0.8 breaks Samba AD - Samba packages need update

January 28, 2020, 9:09 am
$

I posted about this issue before on Sep. 10, 2019..

Any time the LDB library is updated, the Samba packages need to be rebuilt to link with the new version.

The current TW samba packages are still linked with ldb 2.0.7 and this is causing failures:

ldb: module version mismatch in ../../source4/dsdb/samdb/ldb_modules/acl.c : ldb_version=2.0.8 module_version=2.0.7

This seems to happen from time to time. It would be nice if some sort of dependency check was introduced that would force the samba packages to rebuild any time the ldb (or other required libs) are updated.

Thanks.

I always update with zypper dup --no-allow-vendor-change

LEAP 15.1 GNOME reverted

Hi,

I put Leap 15.1 on my daughters laptop with GNOME around Xmas time and it had been working pretty much perfectly. Up until today when she turned it on and it's essentially reverted back to stock GNOME, it won't turn on any of the GNOME tweaks that I had done for her, chosen background disappeared and won't be changed. The Favourite apps won't be changed either. Now I've just tried to install Pomodoro via YAST but it'll complain that there are certain issues with associated libs. I tried booting up with another snapshot, but it won't even allow me to do that.

I have Leap 15.1 with GNOME on my laptop and haven't had any of these issues so I suspect it's a specific issue on hers.

He machine is a Toshiba, Intel Core i3 2.40 GHz and 4 GB RAM.

So I tried Tumbleweed

I put Tumbleweed on my spare dev machine that I had setup Fedora on over the weekend, and, like with Leap, I actually am rather happy with it, too. I used Xfce, as I felt it safest to roll on. Gnome has a nasty habit of breaking existing extensions on new releases, some of which I consider essential for any usability. I recently found things like adding suspend to power management buttons, putting tray icons on top, and some uses of dash2panel either do not work, or now occasionally crash, on Fedora (31), which has latest gnome, even though those are listed as "compatible to install". I did not want that kind of experience popping up after an update. KDE is also rather complex and the few complaints I hear about Tumbleweed seem traced back to a bad KDE related change in a snapshot.

While suse never was known for being an Xfce focused distro, Xfce on tumbleweed is actually a rather nice desktop with a rather pleasant default setup. For me, the real question is how it will behave as it updates over time. I have had some bad experiences with other rolling distros in the past, which is why I have been rather cautious about using them.
