[opensuse] Postfix does not seem to be logging
by John 19 Sep '07

19 Sep '07

Running SuSE 10.0 on my server, I'm trying to see why my mobile phone isn't allowed to relay through it. However, having tried to clean my log files to make finding the test section easier, I seem to have stopped the logging process. Two tries at postfix reload have not resolved the issue and after about an hour, mail, mail.err, mail.warn and mail.info all remain empty. Any suggestions, please?

[opensuse] Cashier Machine for OpenSuSE Linux
by Patrik Hasibuan 19 Sep '07

19 Sep '07

Dear my friends, Our company is developing an application for POS. It includes: Cashier Machine, Barcode reader, Cash Drawer, Credit Card reader and inventory+repository. It's basically a PC but equipped with the devices for a kind of shop. We are insist to make opensuse as the priority of its platform. And we need to buy the machine as the development environment. They are: 1. PC Desktop; 2. Barcode reader; 3. Cash Drawer; 4. Credit card reader. So now, the question is which devices we should choose to buy so we do not have too much work to build the application because our "Development Time Frame" is not enough to also build the device driver, typical device manager software and so on. If it's possible please also give me the information to buy the device from. Virtual shop (website) is also OK. We are in Indonesia as the hint if you have the information of the shop where we can buy the device in offline-way. Please give me the information pleaseee................ My boss loves opensuse so much to do his business with. He assigned me to look for the information of suitable devices to buy for our development environment. -- Patrik Hasibuan <patrikh(a)penguin-teknologi.com> Junior Programmer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] xen nad pciback.hide, doesn't survive domU reboot
by Peter Sjoberg 11 Sep '07

11 Sep '07

I'm running OpenSUES 10.2 on a Pentium4 system where I have installed XEN and some guests. One of the guests is a (opensuse 10.2) firewall with 5 NICs. Since we have the limit of max 3 vifs' I'm exporting 2 with help of pciback. This works fine most of the time but sometimes the guest doesn't find the 2 direct exported ports ("lspci" returns nothing). It seems to never work if I reboot the guest and if I shutdown/create it works most of the time but not always. What can I do to make sure it always works? Where should I look for the problem ? Config data: On the host (dom0) I have root@dom0# cat /etc/modprobe.conf.local options pciback hide=(0000:03:02.1)(0000:03:03.1) install sunhme /sbin/modprobe pciback ; /sbin/modprobe --first-time --ignore-install sunhme root@dom0# cat /etc/xen/vm/worf disk = [ 'file:/var/lib/xen/images/worf/hda,hda,w' ] memory = 256 vcpus = 1 builder = 'linux' name = 'worf' # vif = [ 'mac=00:16:3e:00:0f:fb, bridge=xenbr0', 'mac=00:16:3e:00:ac:fb, bridge=xenbr1','mac=00:16:3e:c0:a8:fb, bridge=xenbr2' ] pci=['0000:03:02.1','0000:03:03.1'] localtime = 0 on_poweroff = 'destroy' on_reboot = 'restart' on_crash = 'restart' extra = ' TERM=xterm' bootloader = '/usr/lib/xen/boot/domUloader.py' bootentry = 'hda1:/boot/vmlinuz-xen,/boot/initrd-xen' On the guest I configured the network ports with "yast lan" and after making the MAC static (it changed after each boot) it works whenever the bypassed nics are available. root@domU:~# cat /etc/modprobe.conf.local options sunhme macaddr=0x08,0x00,0x20,0x00,0x00,0x49 Both host and guest runs a fully patched opensuse 10.2 -32bit -- ------------------------------------------------------------------- Techwiz, Peter Sjoberg PGP key (12F506C8) on keyserver & homepage Key fingerprint = 3DC2 CEBA 1590 B41A 3780 955A DB42 02BB 12F5 06C8 mailto:peters-opensuse AT techwiz.ca http://www.techwiz.ca/~peters -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] KDE +compiz desktop
by Art Fore 08 Sep '07

08 Sep '07

Suse 10.2 on Latitude D820, KDE normally shows 4 buttons for the 4 desktops. Under Compiz, it shows 16. 1 thru 4 are labeled desktop 1 thru 4 as you hold the mouse cursor over the button. Buttons 5 thru 16 show up as desktop 1. How can I get rid of the extra 12 buttons? KDE desktop config and compiz cssm all show only 4 desktops enabled. Searched all of the config files that I could find relating to compiz and KDE, but found nothing out of the ordinary.

[opensuse] Tape Drive for personal usage
by Jorge Fábregas 08 Sep '07

08 Sep '07

Hello Guys, Do anyone of you use any tape drive for personal backup? I personally use a 2nd internal hard-drive where I perform nightly backups but twice a year I backup to offline media (DVD-R DL media)...but right now I'm reaching 100 GB of data...that's a bunch of data to burn! (even if it's dual layer media). I know there are HD and Blu-ray drives but they're too expensive. I think I can get a tape-drive for much mess. I just would like to know if anyone recommends any particular tape-drive and also what software do you use with it (just plain tar?) Thanks!

[opensuse] Who said Linux doesnot get Virus infections
by Registration Account 05 Sep '07

05 Sep '07

As you know clamAV provides NO realtime virus detection and from time to time we all need to execute a clamscan - Well I just performed a clamscan and found 4 folder which a year or so stored and catagorised emails and all 4 folders were infected with Phishing.Heuristics.emal.spoofedDomain virus's. As almost all emails are held in mbox format I would suggest everyone to run a scan periodically. Remember clamAV provides NO repeat NO real time protection, even if you copy them to a MS Windows or NSF drive or open an infected file or execute an infected .bin file Scott

[opensuse] Howto by pass ssh /etc/nologin
by Fajar Priyanto 05 Sep '07

05 Sep '07

Hi all, I'm trying to show a demo on how to modify PAM so that /etc/nologin is bypass by ssh. I have modified /etc/pam.d/sshd: #%PAM-1.0 auth include common-auth #auth required pam_nologin.so account include common-account password include common-password session include common-session When I try to ssh into the PC, I get logged in, but immediately got kicked out. In /var/log/messages I see this: sshd : User fajar is not allowed because /etc/nologin exists I have 'grep -r nologin /etc And have commented some of the entries in apparmor too, but still cannot login. I once succeeded in bypassing /etc/nologin, but I forget how.

[opensuse] Dual booting openSUSE + Vista
by Poul Wittig 05 Sep '07

05 Sep '07

I have configured Vista to dual boot with Windows XP on my laptop at the moment. I am now planning on installing openSUSE over the Windows XP partition. Are there any known problems on vista being un-bootable after the installation? -Poul Wittig -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Printing Failure
by Dave Barton 04 Sep '07

04 Sep '07

I recently did a fresh 10.2 install. Initially the printer setup went with any problems and printing from any app worked fine. For the last couple of days I have not been able to get any of my 5 usb printers to work. I have tried uninstalling cups, deleting previous cups configurations and reinstalling to no avail. YaST correctly identifies the printers and selects the appropriate drivers, but the test function produces nothing. Sending a file to a print queue from any app (eg. kate) show up in KDE's print manager as "processing", but the process never finishes. No errors are displayed during either the setup test or normal printing. I have ruled out hardware issues, because other usb devices (scanners, ext hdd, cameras, etc.) work fine under Linux and all printers work perfectly under Windows on this box. Am I missing something obvious here, or is there a cups issue with 10.2 that I should know about? Any pointers or suggestions would be welcome. TIA Dave
