I may need to open a new thread, but I atleast understand my problem now: >From a opensuse 12.2 machine I can initiate 2 ssh tunnels: For the first one I call /usr/bin/autossh iac(a)www.intelligentavatar.net -i /root/id_rsa_iac -p 22 -ynNT -R 33333:localhost:22 -o ExitOnForwardFailure=yes -o ServerAliveInterval=60 -o ServerAliveCountMax=3 which invokes: /usr/bin/ssh -i /root/id_rsa_iac -p 22 -ynNT -R 33333:localhost:22 -o ExitOnForwardFailure=yes -o ServerAliveInterval=60 -o ServerAliveCountMax=3 The remote host www.intelligentavatar is running centOS 6.3 and the above properly causes a port 33333 listen on 0:0:0:0 for IPv4. For the second one I call /usr/bin/autossh iac(a)cloud1.intelligentavatar.net -i /home/iac/.ssh/id_rsa -p 22 -ynNT -R 33333:localhost:22 -o ExitOnForwardFailure=yes -o ServerAliveInterval=60 -o ServerAliveCountMax=3 which invokes: /usr/bin/ssh -i /home/iac/.ssh/id_rsa -p 22 -ynNT -R 33333:localhost:22 -o ExitOnForwardFailure=yes -o ServerAliveInterval=60 -o ServerAliveInterval=60 -o ServerAliveCountMax=3 (I have 2 different private keys in 2 different places which is why the lines don't line up well.) For the second tunnel, the remote host is a openSUSE 13.3 machine recently installed and with all security patches in place. On that tunnel, the remote host is ONLY opening port 33333 for local host use, both IPv4 and IPv6 local host. I'm pretty sure it is not a key issue because the tunnels are being eststablished for both. It is just that when openSUSE 12.3 is the remote end, I have to be on that server to use the tunnel. Not really what I want / need, and I don't understand why the difference. Is there a bug in opneSUSE 12.3?

[opensuse] latest drivers
by Hans Witvliet 28 Jun '13

28 Jun '13

Hi all, Last week we had a discussion in our department. We provide others with a ready-to-run usb-stick, we often we get reports of hardware not working (while we know that in a subsequent release of a distro it is working) My idea was to switch to Tumbleweed, not only using: ../repositories/openSUSE:/Tumbleweed/standard/ And also the others in ../repositories/driver:/wireless/openSUSE_Tumbleweed and ../repositories/driver:/nic/openSUSE_Tumbleweed And perhaps those in X11:/lxde, filesystems and security:/chipcard/ But i was confronted with reports from Greg, indicating a rough ride with regards to display drivers. Obviously, priorities are: 1) display 2) chipcard 3) nic 4) wifi (if you can't see properly, others are of no concern :-) Any other points-of-view, suggestions? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] New kernel - slower performance

There was a kernel update recently and since then my computer seems to be running significantly slower. Has anyone else noticed this? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] btrfs fsck at boot??
by Anton Aylward 27 Jun '13

27 Jun '13

Over the w/e I converted my 12.2 desktop to 12.3 by the 'change the repository and zypper up' method. A few problems with kde4 that I don't think have to do with me - more n that later. As regular readers will recall, this desktop is running one big btrfs that occupies the whole disk. No separate /boot or anything. This was a 'show it can be done' exercise and on the whole is doing well. Going over the boot messages in more detail to make sure all is well, post conversion, I notice a few errors reported from the btrfs startup. They don't seem to affect function, but it makes me wonder... I can't run btrfsck (yes I know its depreciated) or the equivalent on a mounted file system after boot. I do know that the other systems I have run the other FS fsck at boot. How can I get 12.3 to run btrfsck at boot? -- How long did the whining go on when KDE2 went on KDE3?

[opensuse] What does this mean in netstat -an output. Is it IPv6 related?
by Greg Freemyer 27 Jun '13

27 Jun '13

All, netstat -an is showing me this in part: == tcp 0 0 ::1:33388 :::* LISTEN tcp 0 0 :::80 :::* LISTEN tcp 0 0 ::1:33333 :::* LISTEN tcp 0 0 :::22 :::* LISTEN == What does ::::80 mean (I know port 80 is http)? What does ::1:33333 mean? Is it IPv6 stuff? background: I'm trying to tunnel port 33333 to another machine via a ssh -R tunnel, but it's not working. This is the only listen for 33333 I have . I expected to see 0.0.0.0:33333 but it;s not showing up. I do have a 127.0.0.1:33333 listen, but that won't let me connect remotely.

When I try to install osc, zypper is complaining it can't because it needs python and python conflicts with patterns-openSUSE-minimal_base-conflicts-12.3-7.10.1.x86_64 I don't recall ever seeing that before, can I just uninstall it? == details I just rented a VM with a pre-installed openSUSE 12.3 distro.

[opensuse] VM: dhclient failing since recent zypper up?
by Greg Freemyer 26 Jun '13

26 Jun '13

All, On a VM running OS 12.3 I have network:utilities as a repo I did a zypper up yesterday in that VM and now dhclient is failing == dhclient ls: cannot access /var/run/netconfig//eth0/: No such file or directory == And indeed /var/run/netconfig is empty in my VM. Anyone else seeing this? dhclient -v eth0 is more informative, but isn't telling _me_ anything: Since my network isn't up I did a screen capture from the host and the image is attached. Thanks Greg
