[opensuse] Major failure of 11.4 installation
by Joseph Comfort 24 May '11

24 May '11

I have nicely installed 11.4 on 3 desktops and 1 laptop with no obvious issues (except a couple of small ones). But it failed substantially on a 4th desktop. There was a whole range of problems, a frequent one being simply a dead freeze (no display, no response). They could occur while updating rpms, compiling code, or just sitting idle. An annoying part was that the computer is on a network switch with 2 other computers, both running 11.4. All 3 computers do nfs mounts from the others. When the computer failed, the other computers would hang, and I could not ping to any of them. I considered hardware issues. The hard disks check out just fine with SMART. I changed the power supply, with no benefit. I have a new CPU chip on order (it is faster anyway). With various checking and reinstallations, I have spent a few days on the problem. Today, I reinstalled 11.3. The computer is running fine, and all looks splendid. The long compilations went fine. I pushed the cpu hard (loads up to 2.1), with no problems. Something seems wrong with the 11.4 system. I use the base (KDE) install, but add a lot of rpms for my needs. The crashes seldom left any messages of failure. Any messages I saw did not seem helpful, nor were the failures ever reproducible. I have no idea where the problem is. I do not know what to specify for a bug report. My configuration is: Motherboard: Asus M2N-E CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ (to be replaced with a 5200+) Graphics: nVidia GeForce 7600 GS Monitor: Viewsonic G810 (1600x1200) Kernel: 2.6.37.6-0.5 Maybe I need another message for this, but the two small problems are: 1) When booting the 11.4 computers, the mount-nfs process starts _very_ early, and the booting has to wait for a timeout. This should be fixed (does not happen on 11.3). Once booted, all the disks are mounted. 2) One computer has a Viewsonic VA2431wm monitor, with a 1920x1080 display. When the installation gets to bringing up the login screen, the display becomes a pattern of rectangles. I have to reboot into the Failsafe mode, and then install the proprietary Nvidia drivers to make the display behave properly. Display of this size are now common, and the installation code should accommodate to them.

[opensuse] Amavis>clamd>spamd
by Jim Flanagan 24 May '11

24 May '11

Whats the best way to scan for spam on my email server? I'm trying to get amavis working with postfix and clamd and spamd. I have amavis running, as are clamd and spamd. Clamd is running and checking its databases. Freshclam is checking for updates. But nothing is being scanned as far as I can tell. I have my fqdn set in amavisd.conf, as well as the lines for clamd un-remarked. Not sure what else needs to be done to get the scan working. Thanks for any help.

[opensuse] Postfix - port 587
by Jim Flanagan 24 May '11

24 May '11

What is the best way to set Postfix to listen to smtp traffic on port 587, and 25 at the same time? I'd like to set up a remote client to connect to my server on that port using starttls.

[opensuse] OpenSuSE 11.4, kernel 2.6.37.6-0.5-default and random lockups on HP DL360
by Claudio Prono 24 May '11

24 May '11

Hello all, Into the last week i have some problems with a new upgraded system. That system is worked well for 1 week, then the last weekend it locked up. It is alive, terminal switching is working but if i write into the login and press enter, it locks up. From the external, the machine answers to the ping, but any service is present (syn-synack done), but no response (connection hangs). I am now thinking can be a problem of the new kernel, but i am not sure. Can be also an hardware problem, i dunno... For that cause i need an external opinion... What i can do to debug this? Any help is well accepted. Cordially, Claudio Prono. -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Claudio Prono OPST System Developer Gsm: +39-349-54.33.258 @PSS Srl Tel: +39-011-32.72.100 Via San Bernardino, 17 Fax: +39-011-32.46.497 10141 Torino - ITALY http://atpss.net/disclaimer -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PGP Key - http://keys.atpss.net/c_prono.asc -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] 11.4 PAM_env prob: unable to dlopen(...pam_env.so) lib64/libpam.so.0 version LIBPAM_MODUTIL_1.1.3...
by Linda Walsh 23 May '11

23 May '11

After upgrading to 11.4, I've noticed that my 'REMOTEHOST' and 'DISPLAY' env vars aren't being set correctly. REMOTEHOST not at all, and DISPLAY is incorrect. I checked all the config files and they were fine -- then I noticed this in the log: sshd[22911]: PAM unable to dlopen(/lib64/security/pam_env.so): /lib64/libpam.so.0: version `LIBPAM_MODUTIL_1.1.3' not found (required by /lib64/security/pam_env.so) (where it is happening for multiple progs besides sshd, .. cron, dovecot, etc...). The files appear to be in the correct location and the versions are all matching from coming from 11.4, and in fact, using readelf to dump /lib64/libpam.so.0, I see LIBPAM_MODUTIL_1.1.3 (multiple places, but importantly, I think as a GLOBAL DEFAULT ABS OBJECT: readelf --dyn-syms libpam.so.0|grep 1.1.3 75: 0000000000000000 0 OBJECT GLOBAL DEFAULT ABS LIBPAM_MODUTIL_1.1.3 99: 0000000000009c80 271 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 13 pam_modutil_regain_priv@@LIBPAM_MODUTIL_1.1.3 105: 0000000000009a40 561 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 13 pam_modutil_drop_priv@@LIBPAM_MODUTIL_1.1.3 files look 'reasonable'... /lib64> llg libpam* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 May 22 13:32 libpamc.so.0 -> libpamc.so.0.82.1* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 14664 Feb 27 04:19 libpamc.so.0.82.1* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 May 22 13:32 libpam_misc.so.0 -> libpam_misc.so.0.82.0* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 14664 Feb 27 04:19 libpam_misc.so.0.82.0* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 May 22 13:32 libpam.so.0 -> libpam.so.0.83.0* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 56048 Feb 27 04:19 libpam.so.0.83.0* Help? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Evolution as Data Source in libreoffice
by Teruel de Campo MD 23 May '11

23 May '11

ref: opensuse 11.4 LibreOffice 3.3.1 OOO330m19 (Build:8) tag libreoffice-3.3.1.2 Evolution 2.32.1 Problem: I can not see the evolution address books under libreoffice Evolution addressbooks are ok (I migrated them from evolution 2.30) Libreoffice is running well. View/datasources shows evolocal.odb under ~/.libreoffice/3-suse/user/database/evolocal.odb but is empty no tables no data. In the past the same was already populated with all the addressbooks data. I wonder if this is a problem related to the new location of evolution data: under evo 2.30 all the data was under ~/.evolution, now under 2.32.1 is under ~/.loca/share/evolution I have not been able to find any solution.

[opensuse] 11.4 - is 'tracker' 'beagle' in disguise?
by David C. Rankin 23 May '11

23 May '11

Guys, I restarted 11.4 and had a flurry of sustained hard drive activity and I took a look at what was running in top. I was quite surprised when I found: 4955 david 39 19 319m 18m 10m R 47 0.5 0:11.26 tracker-extract 4666 david 20 0 192m 19m 5788 S 38 0.5 0:19.49 tracker-store 4550 david 39 19 279m 22m 6604 S 8 0.6 0:06.54 tracker-miner-f <panic> tracker-miner-f? tracker-extract? tracker-store? Oh hell! Did my kids click on something they shouldn't have in Vista? (no - wait, this is my laptop and it's opensuse 11.4) WTF? Did I just get hit with a new firefox virus? </panic> So I go do a quick search for what was installed: 22:12 alchemy:~> rpm -qa | grep tracker libtracker-miner-0_10-0-0.9.38-3.6.1.x86_64 libtracker-client-0_10-0-0.9.38-3.6.1.x86_64 gnome-panel-applet-tracker-0.9.38-3.6.1.x86_64 tracker-0.9.38-3.6.1.x86_64 tracker-miner-files-0.9.38-3.6.1.x86_64 libtracker-extract-0_10-0-0.9.38-3.6.1.x86_64 tracker-gui-0.9.38-3.6.1.x86_64 libtracker-sparql-0_10-0-0.9.38-3.6.1.x86_64 nautilus-extension-tracker-tags-0.9.38-3.6.1.x86_64 tracker-miner-evolution-0.9.38-3.6.1.x86_64 Look at what tracker says about itself: 22:13 alchemy:~> rpm -qi tracker Name : tracker Relocations: (not relocatable) Version : 0.9.38 Vendor: openSUSE Release : 3.6.1 Build Date: Sat 19 Feb 2011 <snip> URL : http://projects.gnome.org/tracker/ Summary : Powerful object database, tag/metadata database, search tool and indexer Description : Tracker is a powerful desktop-neutral first class object database, tag/metadata database, search tool and indexer. It consists of a common object database that allows entities to have an almost infinte number of properties, metadata (both embedded/harvested as well as user definable), a comprehensive database of keywords/tags and links to other entities. It provides additional features for file-based objects including context linking and audit trails for a file object. It has the ability to index, store, harvest metadata, retrieve and search all types of files and other first class objects. Distribution: openSUSE 11.4 My next thought was - gnome? What is this thing doing running when I launched kde3? Where did it start from? More importantly - how do I get rid of it? Then it hit me: "Is this beagle in disguise?" I watched it for another couple of minutes and it quit. So what is this thing? Is it worth keeping? Should I just nuke it? What is the collective wisdom on whether it works or is it just another waste of cpu cycles and index db space? Thanks for any info you have. -- David C.
