no system sounds in openSUSE 15.2
by Felix Miata 24 Apr '21

24 Apr '21

Sound output on the PC is only connected via the HDMI cable to the TV, via the ATI graphics adapter. # inxi -AFy Graphics: Device-1: AMD Cedar [Radeon HD 5000/6000/7350/8350 Series] driver: radeon v: kernel Display: server: X.org 1.20.3 driver: loaded: modesetting Message: Advanced graphics data unavailable for root.

Just make sure you're choosing the correct hdmi output. Some ATI have more than one. Also examine your settings in Pavucontrol carefully. Make sure digital output stuff isn't on (see attached images). Note how some are labeled and unplugged. Hope this helps. Kate

TDE on bullseye RC1
by Gene Heskett 22 Apr '21

22 Apr '21

Greetings all; I need the address line to put in the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/TDE.list file to get TDE for a fresh bullseye install as I intend to update this stretch install on a fresh 500GB SSD sometime in the next couple weeks. If its available for bullseye yet, if not and there is a showstopper, I'd appreciate knowing that too. Thank you.

It opens the "Select Icon" window, choose "Other Icons" and click "Browse". You can then select a directory and the icon you are looking for in it. I have not found any way to configure the menu editor to search multiple directories. Hope it helps. Regards Pascal

Menu Editor icons
by J Leslie Turriff 13 Apr '21

13 Apr '21

For products that I install from third-party sources (not from OpenSuSE repositories), when their packaging/installers don't install application icons into /usr/share/icons... I manually place them in /usr/local/share/icons..., but then they don't show up in the icon chooser in Menu Editor. Is there a way to tell Menu Editor about additional locations to search for icons?
