It is a nasty business. This is wrong. Boot kits have existed for a long time on BIOS systems, well predating UEFI. Please don't make things up just to demonstrate your ire for UEFI's over complications. Making people distrustful of Secure Boot exposes them to more risk, not less. -- Chris Murphy -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Why no IPv4 link local address?
by James Knott 27 Mar '15

27 Mar '15

I just tried an experiment to see if a pair of computers, running openSUSE, could connect via IPv4 link local addresses. In Windows, when DHCP fails, it reverts to a link local address in the 169.254.0.0/16 range. This makes it possible to connect two computers with just an Ethernet cable or ad hoc WiFi connection. However, I've found that openSUSE does not do this, though IPv6 link local works. Any idea why reverting to IPv4 link local was not implemented? I'm using the KDE network manager. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

There is usually no draft involved. It gets sent out encrypted. Also, it happens with Thunderbird, but not Seamonkey, so far as I've noticed. I've also noticed other ways in that Thunderbird appears flakey (sorry for the technical jargon). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] iphone
by Robert Rea 26 Mar '15

26 Mar '15

Someone just gave me a hand-me-down iphone 3. A quick search at opensuse.org didn't turn up much. Can someone kindly point me to what software etc. can be user for an iphone. I note from the manual that you need to download itunes to register but there is no download for Linux. I haven't got an account yet but I want to get started. Is there a way to get to the apps and itune stores? Just point me to a beginning point. -- Bob Rea mailto:gapetard@stsams.org http://www.petard.us http://www.petard.us/blog http://www.petard.us/gallery What do you say to Jesus when he comes again?

[opensuse] Thunderbird wants to encrypt
by James Knott 26 Mar '15

26 Mar '15

I have Thunderbird with Enigmail installed. One thing I've noticed recently is that Thunderbird will often encrypt an email, even though encryption is not enabled. It also somehow manages to encrypt email to an address for which no public key exists! How is this even possible, when that key must be used to encrypt? This is a very recent development, so I suspect update is causing the problem. Any idea? tnx jk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] building 13.2 server, network's won't come up, get "wicked: cannot get dbus system bus handle" errors
by lyndat3＠your-mail.com 26 Mar '15

26 Mar '15

I installed, and having been workingon configuring, a new 13.2 server. After a number of zypper updates some work in grub2, and no-errors in either grub2-mkconfig or mkinitrd, on reboot, I now get no network up at all. I get messages about : wicked: cannot get dbus system bus handle failed to connect to socket /run/dbus /run/dbus/system_bus_socket I don't have serial console up yet -- haven't gotten that figured out in grub2 yet. In journalctl I don't see anything that suggests a problem. But I'm not sure what I'm looking for. >From reading IIUC 'wicked' is a new, opensuse-only networking stack. Looks like it has its share of problems. I can't find any posts about this specific error, or any docs.

[opensuse] No /etc/sysconfig/kernel installed in 13.2. Where did those settings go?
by lyndat3＠your-mail.com 26 Mar '15

26 Mar '15

I just installed openSUSE 13.2 Reading posts & docs I find out that adding modules to be loaded on boot to the initrd used to be done with a MODULES_LOADED_ON_BOOT= line in /etc/sysconfig/kernel. The docs at https://activedoc.opensuse.org/book/opensuse-reference/chapter-7-booting-a-… says that's still true. On this brand new 13.2 install that file, /etc/sysconfig/kernel, does not exist. This post, http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.suse.opensuse.devel/59708, suggests that it's no longer used since 13.1 but instead you use /etc/modules-load.d/MODULES_LOADED_ON_BOOT. Which is correct? In addition to MODULES_LOADED_ON_BOOT=, /etc/sysconfig/kernel contained INITRD_MODULES= DOMU_INITRD_MODULES= ACPI_DSDT= SKIP_RUNNING_KERNEL= NO_KMS_IN_INITRD= Where are those setting managed now? Which are the uptodate docs for setting these params? LT -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
