good to see our old time linux users!

by Brian E. Lavender

Great to see Mark and Fred at the meeting. I wish I could give the silver bullet answer to the Tumbleweed question.

Meeting

by Gary

Great meeting. The initfs stuff really took me back and it was a good look at deciding what you really need. The overview of the world of video and codecs was good too. This was mostly just black magic and "because" for me before. Thanks Brian and Sen. I like the location. -Gary

cloned drive using Clonezilla

by Brian E. Lavender

Hey Everyone, I used clonezilla to clone my spinning disk drive with dual boot Windows/Fedora to an SSD. I did disk to disk and had it automatically expand to the larger drive. The steps are fairly straight forward! https://clonezilla.org/show-live-doc-content.php?topic=clonezilla-live/doc/… Brian -- Brian Lavender http://www.brie.com/brian/ "There are two ways of constructing a software design.

gmail users

by Brian E. Lavender

Do we still have Gmail users on the list? I saw that Gmail required DKIM, SPF, and DMARC to be implemented. I didn't implement DMARC... -- Brian Lavender http://www.brie.com/brian/ "There are two ways of constructing a software design.

Need a KDE and OpenSuSE expert

by ??? ###

Recent update to my Tumbleweed broke KDE. The install is on an HP laptop. I'm worried that this update will also break things on two other computers. Willing to pay reasonable fees to fix and/or advise. Thanks *--* *Let it be known that my mind is as quick, sharp and strong as a steel bear trap,* * and it is in no way my fault that it has been left out in the rain, rusting it beyond* * all practical use.*
