Hi All, Been quite busy but last week I found a few discrepancies on this page and will report same in the next ten days. Splitting information, hence duplicating information does not benefit. If I need information on a subject, I will look for it at the source and not on a search engine because if the way SEO affects searches does not mean it’s the Bible, neither the latest and up to date information. Wikipedia is a good example. You look at say Linux and in the left widget, you can choose the language that you want. So if we want to know about the Roadmap of eg. openSUSE Leap 16, it would be best to find it at one place in as many languages as possible. Having said that, I now know who had admin access to openSUSE FR of Twitter :). Silent for a very long time but SUSE tweets about openSUSE in French. So it would be great to use and improve existing social network tools where we have a guaranteed audience who by the way know how to use them. Just my two cents. Best wishes and une Bonne et Belle Année à tous nos amis francophones et francophiles!

Hello Jimmy,
thank you very much for your report. I found many things in common
with our Linux User Group in Hannover. It's really helpful exchanging
experiences and to learn from each other. It was fun to read your
experiences. :-)
I am just curious, because of the PC from 2008: Could it be possible
to install Tumbleweed 32 bit with LXQT or XFCE on such a PC and to
turn the Repos afterwards into Leap-Repos? But I really don't know if
this work out on such an old PC. The effort could be too big and a
different Linux-Distri like Debian could be easier to install.
Thank you very much for sharing your experiences.
Have fun,
Christian
Hallo Christian,
Nice reading you.
Old PC have *always* been a pain, especially, those build using spare parts
from several manufacturers. There is a place in Paris 12th district where
you've got computer shops selling everything in detail. I used to go there
every Saturday for bits and pieces *and* also to return material not compatible
with MS Windows...
Now coming to Linux, the issue is somewhat even more complicated, you end up
with an hybrid, futuristic and chips from sometimes "seconds", meaning not
meant to be sold to the public as there are problems already.
Let's take it that you get a mainstream laptop working with XP 32 bit with a
BIOS dated 2007 or earlier, there are several scenarios offered to you.
1. USB, not a good idea, it's USB 1.x, your nice openSUSE 8 GB key will not
cope!
2. DVD installation? Well, might start but very tricky, especially when the
owner of the old box is watching and *will* lose confidence in what you are
doing to his machine which costed him/her an arm and a leg
3. Network? Forget it, 100 mbits or 10mbits and having to handle/rsync a local
repository
4. A mixture of 1. 2. 3.? Now, the owner of the box will have an heart attack.
5. Attempted this scenario:
a. Installation of openSUSE 13.1 or 13.2 (dual boot)
b. upgrade to Tumbleweed using this doc:
https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Tumbleweed_upgrade
What I can say, it's smooth, but on reboot, X server seldom KO
or everything is pretty slow, well technically, everything is ok, but in
practice, you are in for a few hours of debug, if you are lucky.
I think that I will not go further than installing openSUSE 13.1, change root
password to something like this: %Or]S2![%seZ ^Xd%}l4O,a7l=kmv{YEAWN;f
And lock the user so that we do not need to restart a fresh installation each
time he/she attempts some exotic Yast/Zypper adventures. No sudo
opportunities as well.
The ultimate scenario would be if at all possible to get hold of a openSUSE
13.1 image... as with SuseStudio with your preferred DE XFCE, LXQT... *And*
install the full works: VNC, whatever you feel that he/she might need for day
to day use: a kind of SLED in a nutshell.
And now some self-flagellation: Yes, flavors of Debian install like a charm,
tested Mint as well, Fedora and it's hard to accept that our favorite
distribution is so difficult to install on some machines, even 64 bit. People
come in with the idea that they will go back with UBUNTU, you take a lot of
time explaining the benefits of openSUSE, then you make yourself very small and
try to explain why there are issues: it's their machine fault. I had a case
where I personally fought with a webcam on a laptop for hours with openSUSE
42.2, finally ended buying a USB webcam for a few Euros that I gladly offered
to the visitor. A few months later, I met him on the train, a friend of his
visited him and installed UBUNU and the internal webcam worked out of the
box I had to admit that there is a driver issue.
Best wishes and have a lot of fun :D
Jimmy

[opensuse-marketing] Third attempt in 2 years to get our RSS in Planet openSUSE
Hi guys, Could we get that done this time please? the URL of your blog or, even better, the URL to the RSS/Atom feed of your blog: http://www.nui.fr/blog/?page_id=546 in which language you blog, especially if it's not in English: French your full name (e.g. John Doe) : Jimmy Pierre your IRC nickname on Freenode, if you have any (e.g. jdoe) whether you are an openSUSE Member so that a "member" button can be placed besides your name on the feedlist : Yes openSUSE Member (https://connect.opensuse.org/pg/profile/jimmypierre) a hackergotchi -- while it's not mandatory, it is a lot nicer for the readers. If you need help with this send a picture to the openSUSE Artwork team.
