[opensuse] Stranges messages in system log every second
by Dennis Gallien 19 Jan '13

19 Jan '13

The lines below are being written to the system log on my workstation every second. Another machine also running 12.2 with kernel 3.4.11-2.16-desktop x64, is not getting these messages. Been doing this since Nov 1. I'm not positive, but I suspect that was about when I upgraded the workstation to 12.2, the other machine was upgraded shortly thereafter. 01/19/13 12:30:04 PM Alien-SuSE dbus-daemon[960] CACHE-CONTROL: "max-age=300" 01/19/13 12:30:04 PM Alien-SuSE dbus-daemon[960] NT: "roku:ecp" 01/19/13 12:30:04 PM Alien-SuSE dbus-daemon[960] NTS: "ssdp:alive" 01/19/13 12:30:04 PM Alien-SuSE dbus-daemon[960] LOCATION: "http://192.168.0.104:8060/" 01/19/13 12:30:04 PM Alien-SuSE dbus-daemon[960] USN: "uuid:roku:ecp:D0D02F001923" 01/19/13 12:30:04 PM Alien-SuSE dbus-daemon[960] Resetting cache timeout: device "roku:ecp:D0D02F001923" maxAge 300 01/19/13 12:30:04 PM Alien-SuSE dbus-daemon[960] CACHE-CONTROL: "max-age=300" 01/19/13 12:30:04 PM Alien-SuSE dbus-daemon[960] NT: "upnp:rootdevice" 01/19/13 12:30:04 PM Alien-SuSE dbus-daemon[960] NTS: "ssdp:alive" 01/19/13 12:30:04 PM Alien-SuSE dbus-daemon[960] LOCATION: "http://192.168.0.104:8060/" 01/19/13 12:30:04 PM Alien-SuSE dbus-daemon[960] USN: "uuid:7F248787-B5DF-4C7B-8C9A-00DDEE3B9242::upnp:rootdevice" 01/19/13 12:30:04 PM Alien-SuSE dbus-daemon[960] Resetting cache timeout: device "7F248787-B5DF-4C7B-8C9A-00DDEE3B9242" maxAge 300 Fwiw upnp is not being used anywhere (it is disabled in my router), and the roku is using a static address.

So e.g. trying to launch Dolphin in a terminal just hangs, with no messages to the terminal or the logfile. There appears to be exceptions, e.g. Konq will still start. I have speculated that something is breaking the dbus back-end connection, but I know next to nothing about this area. The machine must be rebooted to correct the condition. Run KDE 4.9.5 on both machines, not positive when this first began, may also have been with the upgrade. Ideas what is going on? How to fix?

[opensuse] Intel GMA HD 3000/2000 graphics chip.
by michael norman 19 Jan '13

19 Jan '13

Following transferring my main system (OS12 2 64 bit KDE 3 9 5) from a tower case to a Shuttle mini pc I am running the Intel onboard graphics rather than NVIDIA graphics card as previously. I have an LG w1952 monitor and a Pansonic tv connected running as twinview and as previously. My problem is that I can only get the LG monitor to run at a maximum resolution of 1024x768 and not its native resolution of 1440x900. Is the a fix for this in a config file somewhere, or a more up to date driver ?

[opensuse] package is excluded in buildservice

Hello, I try to make a new package on buildservice. It is only one link (_link) to an other package and I only changed the .spec file. But all destinations are "excluded" and I don't know why.

[opensuse] network security
by Dave Howorth 17 Jan '13

17 Jan '13

I'm out of touch with the state of the art in network security. If I have a web host that is 'unsafe' in the sense that the software on it can potentially be compromised, what is the safest way to make it available to the great unwashed? [Apart from changing the software on the box!] Obviously, it could be attacked and wiped etc so it is not the computer itself I am concerned about, but consequential damage to anything else. If it is put in a DMZ, it could potentially compromise other machines in the DMZ, so that is too risky. But it seems like a one-machine-DMZ ought to be OK, enforcing some rules like: (1) no outbound connections (2) only receive external traffic on port 80 (3) only receive internal traffic from host such-and-such via ssh. This could be set up on an opensuse machine with an extra NIC, but are there off-the-shelf boxes that do such tasks?

[opensuse] Sync Android with Linux Options & exclude google
by John 17 Jan '13

17 Jan '13

Hi, I have done a lot of searching on this list and elsewhere, about Linux & android synchronisation. The last lengthy discusion onthis list appears to have been around August 2011. My needs are relatively simple, and to be clear from the outset I know I can "possibly" do a sync using google, but I have no particular desire to use them nor discuss the why & why nots! Firstly I have a full home network built on suse and currently v.12.2, My wife & use use Samsung Android galaxy phones and she presently also uses a tablet. At this point in time I do not use LDAP, we started off with kmail, years ago with our own separate address books, and over the last 12 -18 months moved off kmail to Seamonkey because of the need to use distribution lists in mailing, and we had been struggling with the kmail handling, or not handling this. Our home mail is based around a postfix server using fetchmail to collect mail from several external mail boxes, which is stored and archived here. Personal devices access email via IMAP. I am looking to a way to simply keep address books, contact lists, & calendars synchronised automatically ! Synchronisation can be restricted to when the android device is in the home within wi-fi range of the home network, but any additional contacts etc added while away should be synced across the network when the device returns home. Emails, should not cause an issue as I believe imap resolves that synchronisation. The Android devices all use k9-mail. Again, I would prefer to keep total sync management in house, and happy to consider other applications to use on the Android or the suse machines. If it was necessary to use a "cloud" type service I do have a pc I could possibly use, but I would need an "easy guide" to set it up. Any "new year" suggestions welcome, but please ignore the google possibilities. Kind regards, and thanks to the developers for a great platform in suse. -- -- John Canberra, Australia -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Mysql Workbench in stable repos
by Hernan Thiers 17 Jan '13

17 Jan '13

Hey guys. Does someone know why mysql-workbench package is still on 5.2.37 in stable repo? Factory has version 5.2.44. Currently the .37 version has some ugly bugs that newer version doesn't have. I tried to compile the latest source (from mysql website) without luck because of some dependencies that need packages from factory repo.

In my Libreoffice, the doc file appears virtually the same as the pdf you uploaded. The only significant difference is the font of 'SKIPERFECT' on the cover page, presumably because I don't have the font used to create this heading.

That's probably caused by the observation that most individual desktop VM users don't run their VMs all the time, but start them for specific task and terminate them appropriately. They are most often also not the main work area of the user. Thus the user is left with the native desktop (openSUSE, Ubuntu, Windows, ...) and the VM application is an addon. Whereas on big server installations and large virtual desktop deployments, the VM *is* the main work area, and thus a native hypervisor is used as a base.

[opensuse] archive folders in thunderbird
by George Olson 16 Jan '13

16 Jan '13

Hello all, I am confused about how thunderbird archives emails, and what I have set up that is not working the way I would like. I am using Thunderbird 17.0.2, but this has been going on for some time. I have 4 IMAP email accounts, and for some reason Thunderbird has only 2 of them with corresponding folders listed under "Archives". In the email account that I receive the emails from this list, the archives folder shows that there are 18,033 unopened emails. I checked to verify, and if I delete an individual email in its proper folder in my regular folder list, it also deletes it from the archives folder. In the same way, if I delete an individual email from the archives folder, it is also deleted from the corresponding proper email folder. For example, I have a folder called "SCD" under this IMAP email account, and I tested the deletion operation both ways. However, there is a discrepancy between the archives folder and other folders. For example the earliest email I have in the folder SCD is from January 10, only 5 days ago. Yet the archives folder shows all the emails I used to have in that folder going back by about 6 months. I have googled and I can't figure out what exactly the archives folder is doing. Is it supposed to just mirror all my email that is in all my other folders? if so, why does it have copies of all the emails that I have deleted? On the other hand, are the archives folders supposed to be for emails you want to keep separate from your daily operational folders, but don't want to lose? If that is the case, why is that if I delete an email from an archive folder, its corresponding email in its regular folder is also deleted? It seems that my archives folder is doing half of one purpose and half of another, and being rendered a useless item that takes up a lot of memory, but cannot be deleted without risking deleting all my current email.
