[opensuse] Reinstalled v11.3
by Stan Goodman 01 Mar '11

01 Mar '11

After another period when I was unable to reinstall the v11.3 that I messed up, I now have a happily running installation on fresh partitions, and I have begin to transfer data from the wreckage of the corrupted one. Everything I have checked on the new installation, which is still running kde v4.4.4; given that v11.4 is announced for release in March, I think it makes more sense to wait for it to bring an up-to-date kde with it. What I want to do now is to get the Address Book into Akonadi. What I have transferred into the new installation is a folder containing a large number of small of individual files (*.vcf), each with a gibberish name, relating to individual contacts. I found these files in folder <~/.local/share/contacts>. I have not found information that might help me deal with this array of encrypted files to get them into a single large file, and to integrate it with Akonadi. I would appreciate help in finding what I need to do. Beyond that task, I think the only other KDE data that needs to be transferred is the message-folder structure of Kmail. I have spent quite a lot of time trying to locate it in the corrupted installation (which I can access in runlevel 3), but withiut success. Where is it? -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Need help with FreeNX and pam_mount
by Werner Flamme 01 Mar '11

01 Mar '11

Hi everyone, currently, we use openSUSE 11.1 with FreeNX server and pam_mount to get access to our network with a graphical interface. Since 11.1 is out of maintenance (except Evergreen :-)), we want to update to 11.3. As a first, we installed a VM with openSUSE 11.3 and pam_mount. Everything was configured well, so one could login as LDAP user and the shares from /etc/security/pam_mount.conf.xml and from ~/.pam_mount.conf.xml are fully available. Next step was the installation and activation of FreeNX server. The nxsetup command complained about the sshd setup, but we found no errors. But no way to login via NX from remote, while ssh login from both remote and localhost was possible. We found two things: a) the certificate is searched in /.ssh/, not in /var/lib/nxserver/home/.ssh. Creating a symlink solved this issue. I still wonder why this location is searched. b) the NX login works fine when pam_mount is disabled for the session. The file /etc/pam.d/sshd contains two entries for pam_mount: auth optional pam_mount.so session optional pam_mount.so As soon as the second line is commented with a leading #, the NX login works. As a workaround, we tried to use "Extended user control" from the pam_mount.conf man page. But it does not work - the share <volume user="*" fstype="cifs" server="myserv.some.where" path="DFS" mountpoint="~/Documents/DFS" options="domain=MYDOMAIN"  > <not> <user>wflamme</user> </not> </volume> is mounted for use wflamme too - and changing this to user nx has no effect either. Replacing <user>...</user> by <uid>...</uid> also doesn't work. Two questions remain: a) how do I disable mounting a volume for a certain user? b) how do I get FreeNX and pam_mount to work together? I hope that someone on this list can help me...
