LEAP 42.2 How to stop my screen blanking ?

May 25, 2017, 12:55 am

Recently my kde desktop has started blanking due to some form of power management. Or I assume that's what it is. I disabled power management when I installed and up to now this hasn't been a problem.

How do I stop it ? Odd thing is the blank display looks like a very dim totally blank screen saver but kde doesn't seem to have the ability to use screen savers. I think that the level of blackness of this "screen saver" is less black than the normal one on my display which I set very carefully for photography.

xset -dpms does nothing.

OTHER VERSION Create a secure exam environment with Linux

May 25, 2017, 2:34 am

Hi,
recently in Germany a new decree was issued that computers are allowed in exams.

While this sounds good news at first (at least for me, I prefer computers to very expensive graphical calculators), the requirements for the exam-environment are very strict.

The most important points are:

- exam environment cannot be entered or left by the student alone, only by the school (meaning: by the teacher in charge)
- a computer in exam environment must be eye-catching
- unallowed leaving of the environment gives an acoustical warning (I know that this is in opposition to not being able to leave it at first)
- no network access allowed
- no peripherals (like usb-sticks) allowed
- the exam environment must still be active after hard poweroff / power failure

In germany, some schools use the "lernstick" (https://www.imedias.ch/themen/lernstick/index.cfm ) or other linux distributions that boot from stick. While I consider this quite safe, it doesn't fulfil the requirement of being active after boot (you can remove the stick, turn off the computer, reboot and then insert the stick again to fake being in exam environment, and I can think of no means to prevent that).


The decree is now in official hearing, so maybe some things will be changed. But I started pondering about an exam environment and would like you to comment my thoughts.

1. Are there any linux-based exam environments ready to use somewhere in the world?
2. I can think of the following solution. Take a math-exam as an example, the application "GeoGebra" should be used.
- create an x-session for geogebra alone for a specific user "exam"
- start the exam-session with a password (more on that later). Upon starting the session, all files in exam-user are deleted.
- disable all virtual consoles
- put the exam user into autologin
- to leave the exam mode, a different password must be entered, exam-user will be taken out of autologin then

One can think of programming an exam-shell. Depending on the password entered, different applications can be enabled. So the x-session would be for this shell, not for geogebra (which makes things more complicated, one would need a window manager then, I think).

The only way to get out of this that I can think of is to reboot into system repair mode, maybe this can be disabled somehow.

The password could be generated such that it is only valid on a certain day.

All of this would be much easier if network was allowed. Then entering and leaving the exam mode can be registered on a server. All clients must issue alive-signals every minute or so, the teacher sees computers that are no longer in exam mode with a big red sign on the teacher pc.The issued passoword is valid for a certain exam only.

I would very much like to see exams taken with linux-based systems. In Germany, many schools start using IPads, which - in my opinion - are for leisure rather than for serious work.

Thanks in advance for your input,

Andreas

Hallo!

Mein Tumblweed spielt nun seit einigen Tagen nicht mehr alle Videos auf Youtube ab. Der Player zeigt hin- und wieder einfach das Ladesymbol und das wars.
Weiters funktioniert auch Spotify nicht - er sagt mir immer dass DRM nicht enabled wäre - ist es jedoch in Firefox und Chromium - in beiden Playern kommt aber diese Meldung!

Wo hakts da?
Meine Recherchen nach bei den installierten Codecs - diese hab ich jedoch schon kontrolliert und diese stimmen meiner Meinung!

Könnt ihr mir da mal helfen?
Vielen Dank!

openSUSE is stuck in the past.

Every few years I check in with opensuse, but I never keep it as an OS for long... :/

Firstly there are some broken things I'll outline later. But the main reason is the design: it is just so dated. People are good with computers now, especially those who use Linux, so we are not impressed any more by bouncing icons or redundant dialog boxes. We want clean designs that do not patronise the user. Here are my favourite things to hate about openSUSE


  • The "blip" noise on changing volume, and the massive "LOOK I"M CHANGING VOLUME" icon that obscures the screen while doing it. Yes, I am aware you are changing volume, for several reasons. For example, I myself put my finger out and pressed the "change volume" button. What I am listening to has changed volume. The volume tray icon has changed. So please don't BLIP and make the screen unusable for two seconds.
  • The bouncing "opening program" cursor. Firstly, it is just a shameless copy of mac's bouncing icons (from over ten years ago). And secondly, it doesn't look good because the framerate is too low. It's like something the work-experience guy did back in 2007, yet everyone forgets to delete! It's just embarrassing.
  • The notifier box. Nobody needs or ever has needed this. For example, most humans is aware that a hard drive has been plugged in, because said human just plugged it in. We do not need a massive, gormless box say "WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO YOU CRETIN?", because we already know what we want to do. It is just patronising.


Beyond that, YaST is hopeless, Dolphin (the kind of thing the which other OS's have had right since hmmm Windows 3.1? DOS-shell?) still has that refresh bug, and the "oh woah there, dependency failure, I think I'll just quit absolutely every kind of update, is that ok?" behaviour is not OK. Other distros, much smaller and less maintained distros, get this right. Why can't SUSE?

But most importantly, get rid of the bouncing icon. It is enraging. I'll check back in another five years.

Rant over :)

Actually I've got a couple more things, about the forums.

  • Why do we have to do a random question to post on the forum?! Other forums don't need that... are you saying your security is that bad?
  • When trying to retrieve login details, on answering the secret question, you have to put the answer in twice. errr, why. I can understand on setting a password you want to double check it, but on PROVIDING a password? Twice?! Explain, please!


Second rant over.

LEAP 42.2 AMDGPU drivers lead to Plasma crash after kernel update

Hallo all,

I recently made a recommended kernel security update (which was around since March or April, but I postponed it till this week), but after that, the Plasma desktop crashed, so I was forced to uninstall the amdgpu-pro-16.50 driver. I tried also with the newest driver by amd, the amdgpu-pro-17.10, but with the same result. Has anyone experienced the same problem or has any idea how to solve this?
Thanks very much!

LEAP 42.2 No boot messages displayed while booting.

I'm not sure when this started, but 70%-90% of the time, I see no messages or even a splash screen on boot. I get a black screen with 2 messages regarding a usb external hard drive that tells me it has no cache and then nothing until I see a terminal screen with login prompt and a message that the locale service is starting followed by the KDE start-up splash screen. The computer seems to work normally from then on. I have found a boot.log file in var/log containing the messages, so they are being generated. Oddly enough, from time to time I go through a patch where the messages appear normally after the black screen with the 2 messages, and then after a few boots, the problem recurs. I'm at a loss as to why this is happening or how to fix it. I'd love some ideas.

Thanks.

LEAP 42.2 p7zip-full equivalent on openSUSE?

May 25, 2017, 1:46 pm

I use ISO images as archives for backing up data because they can be quickly burned onto optical media when I need to do that. I often need to access these ISOs without burning them, which requires either mounting the ISO or extracting it as if it were an archive file. I very much prefer to simply extract it, and this is easy on Windows with 7-zip. 30 seconds of Googling told me that Linux needs a package called "p7zip-full" to offer the same functionality, but "zypper install p7zip-full" returns an error, saying that no such pacakge exists. I Googled for another 20 minutes to find an equivalent package in opensuse but I did not find anything relevant.

It would be great to know the opensuse equivalent of p7zip-full. Any help would be much appreciated.

I have win 10 pro installed on an m.2 ssd and I installed 42.2 x86 64 on a separate sata ssd. I want to dual boot. Following one install guide that I found, I had uefi secure boot disabled during the installation.

Now with 42.2 install finished and secure boot still disabled, I can only boot into linux. No menu or option for
windows boot appears.

If I enable uefi secure boot in the bios, I boot right to windows with no other options.

How can I get the menu for OS boot options to appear? Something with grub?


Any help for this newb would be greatly appreciated.

I'm quite confused to the basic functionality of this panel, I can adjust clock settings inside the took tweak area but can't add widgets or anything. I can't even get a taskbar trayicon section going, there is no method of editing the panel like you can on the KDE desktop?

Am I missing something? is my install broken because I read all over the place that you should be able to right click on it and customize it a fair bit, but my install doesn't allow anything!
