[opensuse] Tape Drive Trouble
by Paul Groves 01 Sep '17

01 Sep '17

Hi, I have 4 tape drives in my server and I am lately experiencing a few problems. One night a backup failed with rmtio failed: Input output Error. I ran it again and it worked. This has happened more and more frequently and now the drive fails writing every time with this error. I put the drive (Hp storageworks Ultrium 920) in another server. It works fine. I have just received a storageworks ultrium 1760 drive today. Same problem is occuring. The easiest way to make the error come up is to try mt -f /dev/st3 erase The drive sounds like it erases the tape, then the tape is unloaded and goes back in again automatically. Then it erases it again, then does it again then again and again then eventually it gives up with the message mt: /dev/st3: rmtioctl failed: Input/output error Can anyone enlighten me, what exactly is an mt: rmtio: Input/output error and how can I diagnose where exactly this error is occuring. I have tried disconnecting all other drives on the SCSI bus and only connecting the one scsi drive. I have also tried a different scsi connector on the same cable (which is where another drive that works fine is usually connected). I thought could this be a fault with the cable or the controller? But why would the other 3 drives work fine? Then I thought but if the problem is with my two drives why do they both work in another server? I have also tried connecting one of my working drives to each SCSI connector on the cable in turn and it works fine on every one of them, so surely it is not the SCSI controller or cable? Answers to the obvious: The drive jumper pins are correct I do have a terminator on the end of the SCSI cable I have tried more than one tape I have ran several cleaning cartridges in each drive. There are no error LEDs on the drives I have already tried turning it off and on again :) Please can anyone assist with this? I am completely stumped. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Alt-F2 man:/ broken
by James Knott 31 Aug '17

31 Aug '17

A while ago, I posted here about how pressing Alt-F2 # no longer worked properly for opening man pages. Now even using man:/ no longer works. When I try to open a man page, the Seamonkey browser opens to a blank page. In order to see a man page, I now have to open Konqueror or Dolphin and enter the command there. Why does this no longer work? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Firefox video question
by James Knott 31 Aug '17

31 Aug '17

Is there a way to stop videos from playing automatically? I frequent a lot of news sites that include videos with the articles. For some idiotic reason someone has decided the videos should play automatically, which I find very annoying. Is there any way to turn this off? I am quite capable of clicking on the play button, should I actually wish to watch the video. tnx jk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] 42.3: I had to rework openvpn@.service
by Roger Price 31 Aug '17

31 Aug '17

I installed openvpn in a fresh 42.3 and copied the configuration files from a working installation into /etc/openvpn/ . I then tried with Yast to enable and start the openvpn@.service provided by the package, This failed with message Failed to get properties: Unit name openvpn@.service is not valid. So I defined service unit /usr/lib/systemd/system/openvpn.service (no @) [Unit] Description=OpenVPN tunneling daemon instance using /etc/openvpn/server.conf After=network.target PartOf=openvpn.target [Service] Type=forking PrivateTmp=true PIDFile=/var/run/openvpn/server.pid ExecStart=/usr/sbin/openvpn --daemon --suppress-timestamps --writepid /var/run/openvpn/server.pid --cd /etc/openvpn/ --config server.conf ExecReload=/sbin/killproc -p /var/run/openvpn/server.pid -HUP /usr/sbin/openvpn [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target openvpn.target This service unit is the same as openvpn@.service, but explicitly specifies where the configuration files are and where the pid goes. I enabled openvpn.service with Yast and successfully started it with command systemctl start openvpn.service . Why does the package provide the extra %i and %I engineering which doesn't work?

[opensuse] authnz_external limit login attempts
by Paul Groves 30 Aug '17

30 Aug '17

Is it possible to limit the number of login attempts allowed with authnz_external in apache2 i.e. after 3rd failed attempt to deny currently it just pops up forever, which of course leaves it easily accessible by brute force attacks. Current .htaccess file: <IfModule !authnz_external_module> Require all denied </IfModule> <IfModule authnz_external_module> <IfModule !authz_unixgroup_module> Require all denied </IfModule> </IfModule> <IfModule authnz_external_module> <IfModule authz_unixgroup_module> AuthType Basic AuthName "Login" AuthBasicProvider external AuthExternal pwauth GroupExternal unixgroup <RequireAll> Require valid-user Require unix-group users </RequireAll> </IfModule> </IfModule> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] coredump size
by Carlos E. R. 30 Aug '17

30 Aug '17

Hi, After running an update on my server, a private application crashed when told to exist. This was expected, but it dumped a huge core, then compressed it, which took several minutes, during which time I had to wait before rebooting, or it would probably stall: > Isengard:~ # ls -lh /var/lib/systemd/coredump > total 2,1G > -rw-r----- 1 root root 32M Aug 17 20:28 .#core.Kodi_MovistarTV.1000.50e69b420ce4463dab76ed6532adb941.21327.1502994490000000.xz17cedf1c2919f899 > -rw-r----- 1 root root 153M Aug 17 20:28 .#core.Kodi_MovistarTV.1000.50e69b420ce4463dab76ed6532adb941.21327.1502994490000000c1fb45b2282ac57c > -rw-r-----+ 1 root root 1,8G Aug 17 20:26 core.Kodi_MovistarTV.1000.50e69b420ce4463dab76ed6532adb941.22507.1502992827000000.xz > -rw-r-----+ 1 root root 13M Aug 17 20:01 core.kodi\x2ebin.1000.50e69b420ce4463dab76ed6532adb941.1999.1502992785000000.xz > -rw-r-----+ 1 root root 11M Aug 17 05:53 core.kodi\x2ebin.1000.50e69b420ce4463dab76ed6532adb941.21167.1502941816000000.xz > Isengard:~ # Notice the huge size, 1.8 GB. The questions are: can I choose compress options, so that it compresses faster and less? Can I configure not to try dump core of certain named processes?

[opensuse] supportconfig for Leap ?
by Per Jessen 30 Aug '17

30 Aug '17

I was asked to provide 'supportconfig' for a bugreport - I googled it, and it looks like an SLE tool - is it available for Leap42x ? (I don't see in the default repos). -- Per Jessen, Zürich (22.6°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - virtual servers, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Stop Apache https access from non specified domain names
by Paul Groves 30 Aug '17

30 Aug '17

Hi, I have an apache2 server with ssl setup with a domain name e.g. https://mysite.com Set up using <VirtualHost mysite.com:443> when I browse to https://mysite.com I can add an exception for my self signed certificate and all works well. I have also redirected http://mysite.com to https://mysite.com set up using<VirtualHost mysite.com:80> which also works However: When I browse to https://hostname or https://IP address or any other https domain name that is pointing to the same server, it shows the mysite.com virtualhost (which subsequently breaks because it is being accessed via a domain name it is not supposed to). I do not want this to happen. It should not go anywhere at all as I have not configured any other domain name to point to this virtualhost. If anything by default the sites should go to the It Works! page because in my default ssl settings I have <VirtualHost _default_:443> and default HTTP <VirtualHost *:80> and they both have the same DocumentRoot /srv/www/htdocs/default I don't understand why the sites are not going where I have told them. I must be doing something wrong here. Does anyone know how I can make all non-configure https connections point to /srv/www/htdocs/default ? (Exactly the same as http is working currently) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
