[opensuse] OS 12.1 postfix config for remote mail server
by David T-G 30 Apr '14

30 Apr '14

Hi, all -- I have a shiny new host running 12.1 with postfix (I was a qmail guy back when I had time to dig hard into email config, but I'll give this a try), and in general everything works well -- although I'm still moving in and it also feels like everything is in disarray :-)/2 In particular, I can send email to any domain not hosted on the server just fine, but when I send to myself or to any other domain hosted here it never gets anywhere. The server is managed by plesk, and I'm confident that it has been told that those domains are local and so it is trying to deliver to all of those addresses and aliases that don't really exist here. [I hemmed and hawed for a long time about what to do with email for some or all of my domains and finally decided to take advantage of the space and cycles on the mail farm and outsource that whole mess. We'll see how it goes in the long run :-] The MX records point to the mail farm servers: myhost # dig +short mx example.com 0 mx01.1and1.com. 0 mx00.1and1.com. I sent myself a test message: myhost # date | mailx -s 'local test' user(a)example.com The log files confirm that it's trying to deliver locally and, of course, can't: myhost # grep '29 05:51:' mail.err Apr 29 05:51:37 myhost postfix-local[20170]: cannot chdir to mailname dir user: No such file or directory Apr 29 05:51:37 myhost postfix-local[20170]: Unknown user: user(a)example.com myhost # grep '29 05:51:' mail.warn Apr 29 05:51:37 myhost postfix-local[20170]: cannot chdir to mailname dir user: No such file or directory Apr 29 05:51:37 myhost postfix-local[20170]: Unknown user: user(a)example.com myhost # grep '29 05:51:' mail.info Apr 29 05:51:37 myhost postfix/pickup[18835]: 0518875E: uid=0 from=<root> Apr 29 05:51:37 myhost postfix/cleanup[20165]: 0518875E: message-id=<20140429095137.0518875E(a)myhost.example.com> Apr 29 05:51:37 myhost postfix/qmgr[4170]: 0518875E: from=<root(a)myhost.example.com>, size=533, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Apr 29 05:51:37 myhost postfix-local[20170]: postfix-local: from=root(a)myhost.example.com, to=user(a)example.com, dirname=/var/qmail/mailnames Apr 29 05:51:37 myhost postfix-local[20170]: cannot chdir to mailname dir user: No such file or directory Apr 29 05:51:37 myhost postfix-local[20170]: Unknown user: user(a)example.com Apr 29 05:51:37 myhost postfix/pipe[20168]: 0518875E: to=<user(a)example.com>, relay=plesk_virtual, delay=0.2, delays=0.08/0.01/0/0.11, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (delivered via plesk_virtual service) Apr 29 05:51:37 myhost postfix/qmgr[4170]: 0518875E: removed A few things jump out at me here... First, yes, it's trying to send locally. Second, though, I noticed that I didn't get a bounce message back, so it may also be having trouble delivering even to an account that *does* exist. Third, what is /var/qmail/mailnames doing in there on this postfix server? *sigh* I hate having not done any of this for 15 years and having to start over from scratch... How do I tell postfix that it doesn't have to try to deliver locally but instead hand off to the mx server for a given domain? In fact, how do I tell it to hand off for everything except perhaps certain local addresses?

[opensuse] opensuse 13.1 yast create raid - Error : There are not enough suitable unused devices to create a RAID.
by Per Jessen 30 Apr '14

30 Apr '14

I had some time spare, so I was playing with 13.1 and trying to create a RAID1 mirror with Yast - I very rarely do this with Yast, but given that this box has two unpartitioned SATA drives, surely that is sufficient for creating a RAID1 miror? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (14.1°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - your free DNS host, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] noobish question about compiling libre office and python configuration
by h 29 Apr '14

29 Apr '14

Hi, Not sure if this is the correct forum, but... I am running a fully updates opensuse13.1 on a x64, intel desktop computer. I am wanting to compile libreoffice from source. I am following the instructions from: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/BuildingOnLinux#Building_Li… When I run autogen.sh the script says: checking Python.h usability... no checking Python.h presence... no checking for Python.h... no configure: error: Python headers not found. You probably want to set both the PYTHON_CFLAGS and PYTHON_LIBS environment variables. Both these environment variables are null. I am unsure if these should be set by the autogen script, or are part of the python install. My google skills are not giving me a clear picture as to how these should be set. I am thinking there is something wrong with the way python is installed on my machine, so am hoping someone involved with the distribution can help! -- Many thanks, Hugh -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Dynamic DNS provider
by Koenraad Lelong 29 Apr '14

29 Apr '14

Hi, My home-domain is registered with zoneedit.com. Unfortunately, since a few weeks their dynamic-dns-interface does not work any more. They say : > If DDNS is critical for your business, it may be prudent to find another solution while we work to correct the problem. While it's not critical, I am looking around for alternatives. I looked at some providers but the don't do dynamic DNS, or they impose their own domain-extentions. So what are my options ? Any references to providers ? Thanks, Koenraad Lelong. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] configure postfix
by jdd 29 Apr '14

29 Apr '14

Hello, I just configured postfix on 13.1 with some minor problems, so the summary here I write down *my experience* here (warning: my use may not be yours, this works for me but I can' say it will work for you :-(): http://dodin.info/wiki/index.php?n=Doc.Postfix-configure-2#sDoc.Postfix-con… I do this for more than ten years now... so I know it works, but with sometime small changes. all the config is in /etc/postfix/main.cf usually, the openSUSE changes where grouped at the end of the file, so I could easily comment them out (my install never worked with them), and I could add the three lines I really needs, but the time the changes, shown by "postconf -n" are a page long and spread all over the file. the result is that all the mails I tried to send looped back to "myself" (as said by the logs) I couldn't figure out why, so I simply copied back the working main.cf file from my old 13.2 and suddenly all the stopped mails went to the destination. the "postconf -n" is much smaller than it was (see the bottom of the page linked). however there is still an error message. last time I had to change "inet_interface=localhost" to "inet_interface=All". today this option seems to be removed, postfix do not understand it anymore (but it don't seems to hurt). any comment welcome Nota: on this computer I have no mail user, only mailman, inn and apache jdd -- http://www.dodin.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Question re Tumbleweed
by Rodney Baker 29 Apr '14

29 Apr '14

A question for Greg K-H or others familiar with Tumbleweed; is it safe to do a zypper dup to Tumbleweed from oS 12.3 (assuming all non-Tumbleweed repositories are disabled)? I'm thinking that might be the only way to get an up-to-date 13.1 equivalent with KDE 4.12.4 for now... Thoughts? Hints? Caveats?

[opensuse] Updates to KDE:Current
by Raymond Wooninck 28 Apr '14

28 Apr '14

In the next hour a new update for KDE:Current will be published. This update contains the following: * kdebase4-workspace 4.11.9 with the latest bugfixes for plasma. * Baloo was aligned with the latest upstream patches for more stability with regards to the cleaner and Xapian connectivity. * Libxapian was build without SSE support for 32bit builds. It seems that quite a number of users are using systems that do not support these instruction sets and this causes crashes. This should now be fixed. * KDEPIM was updated with the fixes that were created upstream for the bug report https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=333640 with regards to the knotes migration. Now the old notes should become visible after the migration, which should automatically start if you update from KDE:Current after 2pm CET.

[opensuse] what to backup, or where is stored data?
by jdd 28 Apr '14

28 Apr '14

Hello, I'm on the way of building a new server. I have limited room in / and want to be able to backup relevant data easily. So I wonder where data is stored in a server (apache, postfix or exim, mailman, inn, dovecot, squirellmail...). I know most of the config data is in /etc. There is little problem to backup /etc because no file there should be let open (locked). I already moved /srv to /home. In fact, I create a /data folder in /home, with /srv folder in it and mount it bind on /srv with this fstab line: /home/data/srv /srv none bind this works very well. AFAIK, Inn or Mailman data are stored in fake users in /home but what about mariadb (mysql), log files, mail spool files? is it possible/sensible to make for /var what I did for /srv? (there is an annoying /var/lib/ntp/proc/ folder there :-() any other idea? thanks jdd -- http://www.dodin.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] rsyslog no longer logging to var log messages?
by Christopher Myers 27 Apr '14

27 Apr '14

Hi everyone, For some reason, my oS 12.2 server is no longer logging to /var/log/messages. This started after I set up a separate logging location for rsnapshot. However, removing the things I added doesn't seem to make a difference, and the new logging location is working properly. In fact, from what I can see, all of the logging works properly except that nothing is going to /var/log/messages (it was last modified last December.) I've tried restarting the service, restarting the server, etc., to no avail. A copy of my conf file is here: http://paste.opensuse.org/ca33798e Any thoughts or stuff that I missed? The lines I added are 142 and 143, then added ";rsnapshot.none" to line 156.

[opensuse] libdrm_nouveau2
by James Knott 27 Apr '14

27 Apr '14

I'm cleaning out some Nvidia stuff from my computer. The two remaining packages are libdrm_nouveau2 and libdrm_nouveau2-32bit. When I try to remove them, I get a warning that removing them will break dependencies for Mesa. Will this be a problem? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
