[opensuse] Laptop_mode package and tools
by Roger Luedecke 15 Nov '11

15 Nov '11

I have istalled the package, and laptop_mode is not active. I will reboot to see if thats needed. I read the man page and it didn't really leave me anymore enlightened. What is the correct behavior supposed to be (for the package, I would imagine the packager could assume if its installed it will be in use)? How do I activate laptop mode? My understanding from articles I rread was I needed to install the package and activate the feature in the kernel... which I have no idea how to do since those articles were written for Ubuntu. -- Next Friday will not be your lucky day.

[opensuse] graphics tablet hotplug
by lynn 15 Nov '11

15 Nov '11

Hi. We have 3 graphics tablets to share between 18 of us. If the tablet is plugged in when the user logs in from the kde login screen the tablet works fine. If it is then removed and the plugged into another client on the lan, the user has to login and log out to make the tablet work. A pain. Is there a way to make it work without having to log out and then back in again? lynn@hh1:~> uname -r 2.6.37.6-0.7-desktop lynn@hh1:~> lsusb Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 001 Device 002: ID 13fe:3100 Kingston Technology Company Inc. 2 GB USB stick Bus 001 Device 003: ID 058f:6362 Alcor Micro Corp.

[opensuse] samba and StartTLS

That LDAP is working. 2. That the CA and server certificates (signed by the CA) are correct. 3. The problem is with smb.conf 4. There is a bug in the Yast samba server setup and lastly after much googling and reading, can anyone help me get rid of the samba tls issue?

[opensuse] Solid state netbook optimization
by Roger Luedecke 15 Nov '11

15 Nov '11

For me and a client I would like to know how to optimize 12.1 for our netbooks. My client has a SSD and I would like to optimize it to perform better (power savings a plus but performance is main). I have read quite a few things with varying opinions, and not all methods may be applicable to openSUSE much less 12.1 using systemd now. For example the opinions are at odds on things like whether LVM increases performance, or if btrfs speeds up SSD's. I have managed to make a good number of conclusions but want a second opinion before I fiddle with things I don't know well. Both netbooks are HP Mini, so since SUSE and HP partner for testing we can probably assume ACPI or whatever else works more or less properly. -- Nobody said computers were going to be polite. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Kopete and MSN: No Login
by smartysmart34＠web.de 14 Nov '11

Hi all, I just found out that since approximately Wednesday last week Kopete is not able to log in to msn anymore. This is due to some server-change at Microsoft.

[opensuse] IPSec VPN and IPv6
by James Knott 13 Nov '11

13 Nov '11

I am planning on setting up an IPSec VPN between two openSUSE systems. I have used OpenVPN for years, but it does not currently support IPv6 in tun mode (version 2.3 might). IPSec should support IPv6, as that's what it was originally developed for, before being adapted to IPv4. I have installed the various VPN & IPSec packages, including the Novell IPSec client "Turnpike". However, in looking around it, all the settings appear to be for IPv4 only. Has anyone set up an IPv6 VPN in openSUSE either with or without using Turnpike. Information on that appears to be in short supply, though there's plenty for IPv4. The alternative would be to set up a 6in4 tunnel via an IPv4 VPN, which is less desirable due to the added overhead. tnx jk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Evolution on 11.4 imap problems.
by James Pifer 12 Nov '11

12 Nov '11

I'm totally frustrated with Evolution on opensuse 11.4. I finally updated from 11.1 to 11.4 hoping to fix some nagging issues. Many of those issues were fixed but now I have evolution problems. I posted to Evolutions list but haven't received any replies so I'm hoping to get help here. I'm running evolution 2.32.1-9.12.1.x86_64. I connect a couple pop3 accounts and an imap account. The imap account is what seems to give me all the trouble. Every so often it will say checking for mail, the hard drive access is pegged, and machine becomes choppy until I kill evolution. I found that if I rename folders.db and restart a couple times I can get past it somehow, but it keeps coming back. If I leave imap off, I don't have a single problem. I was getting some memory errors when I ran evolution from an exterm window, but there's plenty of ram and swap available when the problem is happening. I've even tried upgrading to evolution 3, but I can get the migration to work. It seems to bring over my calendar data and contacts, but all the mail files fail to get brought over and converted to mbox. I even tried backing up and restoring through evolution and that failed too. Anyone have any suggestions? What other info could I provide? Any suggestions on upgrading to evo 3? I wouldn't mind trying that anyway. Any help is appreciated. Thanks, James -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] virtualbox bridged network adapter
by lynn 11 Nov '11

11 Nov '11

Hi (Sorry but I can't make it shorter than this) I'm trying to simulate a real network using virtualbox and in particular test the possibility of a single sign on linux/windows lan. Samba is working. I can see users linux /home folders on the windows machine by entering: \\hh1\lynn2 LDAP is working since lynn2 can login at a command line and the username/password works for seeing the share from windows as above. /var/log/messages and /var/log/samba/log.smbd confirm this. log.nmbd also confirms that the samba server is also a logon server. I have a windows 7 virtual machine setup: 192.168.1.2 opensuse 11.4 DNS server, LDAP server, samba server PDC for a domain called HH1, gateway 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.4 Windows 7 running in virtualbox, joined to the domain HH1, DNS set to 192.168.1.2, gateway 192.168.1.1 When I try to logon to the domain from windows, it gives me the error 'No logon servers available' whether I have the static setup as above or automatic IP and DNS via dhcp. I can ping linux from windows but cannot ping windows from linux. Trying to ping 192.168.1.4 from a linux terminal drops everything. Both machines can ping the gateway and both can see internet. I am trying to diagnose the problem of not being able to logon to the Samba domain and wonder whether the cause could be to something to do with the widows machine being on virtualbox and not being able to ping it as above. Virtualbox is set to emulate a real network adapter as follows: Adapter 1: Intel PRO/1000 MT Desktop (Bridged adapter, eth1) Could anyone help me with this? Thanks.
