[opensuse] Email Server
by Paul Groves 05 Dec '16

05 Dec '16

Hi All, I am looking to set up an email server (on my existing home server). Any recommendations? I want the basic abilities (smtp imap and pop / mail groups / address books etc.) It will mainly be used with my wordpress / osticket installs as well as forwarding emails to lists. I have not set up a linux mail server before so would not know where to start. The server is opensuse 42.1 64-bit Thanks -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] IPv6 with Telekom Speedport W724V
by Bjoern Voigt 09 Nov '16

09 Nov '16

I have a problem with the IPv6 connectivity. The failing server uses openSUSE 42.1 and runs 24/7. The problem is probably caused by the bundled Telekom Speedport W724V router. The Telekom VDSL provider delivers dual (IPv4 and IPv6) connectivity and maybe the router has IPv6 privacy extensions enabled. But I like to have a solution without exchanging the router. The problem is, that openSUSE 42.1 loosed IPv6 connectivity after some time (probably after ~1 day, but I am not sure). IPv4 connectivity stays intact. For testing I use www.heise.de only with IPv6. This hangs: myuser@mybox:~> wget -6 http://www.heise.de/ --2016-10-24 11:55:36-- http://www.heise.de/ Resolving www.heise.de (www.heise.de)... 2a02:2e0:3fe:1001:7777:772e:2:85 Connecting to www.heise.de (www.heise.de)|2a02:2e0:3fe:1001:7777:772e:2:85|:80... ^C /sbin/ifconfig shows 15 (!) IPv6 addresses with scope global (not printed here). If I re-start Wicked I have only 2 IPv6 addresses with scope global. The 2 IPv6 addresses are new compared with the old ones.

[opensuse] hdparm on boot and YaST
by Juan R. de Silva 08 Nov '16

08 Nov '16

About a month ago I run a cross a post in forums showing the way to run something like 'hdparm -B 254 /dev/sda' upon boot by simply setting some parameter in YaST. Foolishly enough I managed to loose the post and I do not remember it in details. I googled for over an hour now and I cannot come across it any more. Anybody can make a suggestion here, please? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Actual capacity of SDXC cards
by Anton Aylward 06 Nov '16

06 Nov '16

I bought some 32G micro SD cards on eBay, and on advice I check to see if they were all actually 32G. There's a program available under Linux called "f3". I'm running 3.5.0 http://oss.digirati.com.br/f3/ What it does is write a pattern, step and repeat To quote from the man page <quote> F3 (Fight Flash Fraud or Fight Fake Flash) tests the full capacity of a flash card (flash drive, flash disk, pendrive). It writes to the card and then checks if can read it. It will assure you haven't been sold a card with a smaller capacity than stated. When writing to flash drive, f3write fills the filesystem with 1GB files named N.h2w, where N is a number (i.e. /[0-9]+/). </quote> The the f3read program verifies. You have control over the starting and ending numbers, so if you think the 32G drive is actually a 8G you can skip the first 6G and just do 7G to 9G. I found that indeed the 32G labelled chips were actually 8G. There's a tool that re-writes the chip ID info and so I made sure that theses 8G chips said they were 8G. And I got my money back. FOSS wins out again. There are free version of similar tools for Windows as well. ------------------- I do however have a question. Running these tests takes a lot of time. I'm wondering if there is a quicker way. I'm wondering if there is a file system whereby the mkfs builds a FS structure all the way down to the supposed end of the media, perhaps some kind of b-tree, then the fsck verifies it actually is what it supposed to be, that if the supposed 32G was actually a 8G and writes wrapped around somehow. checking the (empty, before commuting data) tree structure would show this up and give some clue as to the where? It seems reasonable to me, but a simple fsck fail would not give information on the actual size, would it? Just that the structure was buqqered. Any thoughts on this? -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Missing h.264 support in Firefox 44.0
by Krisztián Angyal 04 Nov '16

04 Nov '16

Hi I got a problem with playing videos in firefox 44.0 under opensuse leap 42.1. I installed codecs like written on the http://opensuse-guide.org/codecs.php website, but the problem still exists. When I open youtube's html5 support site, I can see, that the codecs are correctly installed and working, excepted H.264. Firefox can play html5 videos, but other sites like vimeo or tumblr can't. All values under about:config -> mediasource.*.enabled are true. Youtube can play html5 videos, but many other sites like facebook, tumblr etc. can't. How could I let firefox play mp4 videos? Thank you for your help :) -- Med venlig hilsen / Kind regards Krisztián Angyal -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Why is DISPLAYMANAGER_SHUTDOWN="root" ignored?
by Josef Wolf 01 Nov '16

01 Nov '16

Hello, I have DISPLAYMANAGER_SHUTDOWN="root" set in /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager But this setting seems to be ignored. Non-privileged users can still shutdown by choosing "shutdown" from their KDE menu. Why is this? BTW: this is opensuse Leap 42.1 -- Josef Wolf jw(a)raven.inka.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

Hi, I got a new accesspoint. Unfortunately, my OS 13.2 laptop can't connect to it. With older accesspoints I don't have problems. Is there any way to debug this ? I'm using Network-manager. Other computers can connect without problems. lspci on my laptop gives this : 45:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11bgn Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01) Please ask if other info is needed.

by Mikhail Ramendik 31 Oct '16

31 Oct '16

Hello, When I download files in Chrome, I get a crash message about the KDE file indexing daemon. I try to go the bug reporting route, but it fails to install debug symbols. Is this some known issue I can fix? If not, then how do I install the debug symbols so I can let the bug be files? -- Yours, Mikhail Ramendik Unless explicitly stated, all opinions in my mail are my own and do not reflect the views of any organization -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

I have applied all available 13.2 patches including openSUSE-2016-1241 Security update for the Linux Kernel but that does not fix the problem. Given the post by Marcus Meissner https://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2016-10/msg00737.html > Two days ago the 13.2 kernel update broke ACLs that give out these > rights, it will be back with a fix update soonish > No need for group member ship btw, all systemd / udev /acl magic these > days. I will wait for the upcoming update magic, and manage the lady´s administrative problem by non-IT means. Roger
