[opensuse] can a dhcp client (isc or wicked) prevent the dhcp server from doing dynamic dns updates?
by Per Jessen 26 Sep '16

26 Sep '16

I am moving to dynamic DNS updates for our IPv6 desktops, overall no problems, but somehow not all desktops cause a DNS update when they receive an IPv6 address. With Leap421 and 422 it works fine, when I do e.g. "ifdown ethX && ifup ethX", I see: Sep 26 14:20:25 dresden dhcpd: if linux-asdf.local.net. IN TXT "02a51a7c9422e02aee9eb9b670aae20cc1" rrset exists and linux-asdf.local.net. IN AAAA 2001:db8:4c68:1:ff99::34 rrset exists delete linux-asdf.local.net. IN AAAA 2001:db8:4c6 8:1:ff99::34: success. Sep 26 14:20:25 dresden dhcpd: if linux-asdf.local.net. IN A rrset doesn't exist and linux-asdf.local.net. IN AAAA rrset doesn't exist delete linux-asdf.local.net. IN TXT "02a51a7c9422e02aee9eb9b670aae20cc1": success. Sep 26 14:20:25 dresden dhcpd: removed reverse map on 4.3.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.9.9.f.f.1.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.8.b.d.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa. Sep 26 14:20:29 dresden dhcpd: DHCPREQUEST for 192.168.3.34 from 00:18:fe:6a:73:0b via eth0 Sep 26 14:20:29 dresden dhcpd: DHCPACK on 192.168.3.34 to 00:18:fe:6a:73:0b via eth0 Sep 26 14:20:31 dresden dhcpd: Solicit message from fe80::218:feff:fe6a:730b port 546, transaction ID 0x75DE6100 Sep 26 14:20:31 dresden dhcpd: Sending Advertise to fe80::218:feff:fe6a:730b port 546 Sep 26 14:20:32 dresden dhcpd: Request message from fe80::218:feff:fe6a:730b port 546, transaction ID 0x55CADE00 Sep 26 14:20:32 dresden dhcpd: data: leased_lease: not available Sep 26 14:20:32 dresden dhcpd: Added new forward map from linux-34.local.net. to 2001:db8:4c68:1:ff99::34 Sep 26 14:20:32 dresden dhcpd: added reverse map from 4.3.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.9.9.f.f.1.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.8.b.d.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa. to linux-34.local.net. With desktops running openSUSE 13.1 (isc dhcp client), the client end works fine, but I don't get DNS updated. It seems as if something in the client request can control the dynamic DNS update? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (18.8°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] Installing KVM on TW
by sdm 25 Sep '16

25 Sep '16

I was reading through the KVM installation documentation here: https://doc.opensuse.org/documentation/leap/virtualization/html/book.virt/c… And it tells you to "Start YaST and choose Virtualization › Installing Hypervisor and Tools." "Select KVM server for a minimal installation of QEMU tools. Select KVM tools if a |libvirt|-based management stack is also desired. Confirm with Accept." Well I decided that I didn't want to use YaST2 and use the command line instead. According to the documentation it tells you to install as a pattern. The documentation doesn't specify how to install the packages by not using patterns, but that is what I'd rather do as the pattern installs tons of packages I don't think are necessary to have, "bloat". Anyway, I ran |# `zypper in -t pattern ||kvm_server` and all installed fine. | | | |Then I ran:||||# `zypper in -t pattern kvm_tools` Loading repository data... Reading installed packages... 'kvm_tools' not found in package names. Trying capabilities. No provider of 'kvm_tools' found. Resolving package dependencies... Nothing to do.| |If you look at the Debian documentation https://wiki.debian.org/KVM it tells you exactly step by step how to get KVM going. With the Leap doc, it's going into all this stuff that doesn't help me with what I'm trying to do.| So how can I do this via command line?

[opensuse] Problem installing an rpm package because of hardlinks.

[opensuse] openssl doesn't include Subject Alternative Name on SSL certificates
by Alfredo Amaya 24 Sep '16

24 Sep '16

Hi, I'm using Leap 42.1 and I'm trying enabling SSL on my Apache server. Based on this documentation: https://doc.opensuse.org/documentation/leap/reference/html/book.opensuse.re… I'm trying to generate a self-signed certificate for my own server. So, I make a backup of this file: # cp /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf /etc/ssl/openssl.bak and on the [ req ] section I uncomment the line req_extensions = [ v3_req ] Next, on section [ v3_req ] I add the following line: subjectAltName = @alt_names Besides, at the end of this file I add the [ alt_names ] section: # Alternatives DNS names for my webserver [ alt_names ] DNS.1 = server.local DNS.1 = *.server.local DNS.1 = server DNS.1 = *.server IP.1 = 192.168.0.110 Next, I execute this command (read on documentation above) as root: # openssl req -new > new.cert.csr At this point, if I check the csr file I can see the Subject Alternative Name (SAN) field loaded: # openssl req -text -noout -in new.cert.csr Next step, I execute this command for generating the private key: # openssl rsa -in privkey.pem -out new.cert.key and this one for generating the public cert file: # openssl x509 -in new.cert.csr -out new.cert.cert -req -signkey new.cert.key -days 365 Now, if I check this one: # openssl x509 -in new.cert.cert -text -noout I CAN'T SEE the SAN field. Because of this I cannot use a single cert file for enabling SSL on my server for each DNS name. This is anomalous according the documentation available on internet. SAN field must be integrated into the cert file. Is this a bug or am I wrong?

[opensuse] so what is happening with pavucontrol
by George from the tribe 24 Sep '16

24 Sep '16

Whenever I need to use skype, pavucontrol is the main tool I use to make sure all my volume settings are adjusted correctly. I had not used skype in a month or so, and just now I opened it up, and then opened up pavucontrol like I normally do. pavucontrol used to have slider knobs on the various volumes so that you could adjust the input levels, as well as tabs on top so that you could select which input or output streams you wanted to monitor. It also had a graphical indicator of the volume it was reading. Now it doesn't really have much of anything, and minimal ability to select which stream you are looking at. Here is what it looks like now without any of the controls: http://picpaste.com/Screenshot_20160921_084949-GQMilmcU.png Maybe I am missing some dependencies?
