[opensuse] xscreesaver went nuts and I had to uninstall it.

Hi, xscreensaver would trigger every minute or two. Clicking on its banner removed it (without entering the password), but the display was black and I had to click everywhere to restore each window. Even the background had to be clicked to restore the icons. A real pain in the ass. I tried setting it to never start, no use. I had to remove it to be able to keep working on the computer. Anybody knows what was that? XFCE 4.12 openSUSE Leap 42.3 freshly installed. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

[opensuse] Yast network config and no firewall
by Roger Oberholtzer 02 Feb '18

02 Feb '18

In the systems we set up for data collection, we disable the firewall and do not install the firewall software. They are in vehicle on the road with no connection to the outside world. So we have no use for this feature. In Yast, when configuring a NIC, one always gets a dialog telling that the firewall software is not installed. One can click past it. But, if the firewall is disabled and the software not installed, is this dialog really necessary? I admit it is not a big thing. We don't configure the NICs very often. But it seems odd to single out that one feature and keep nagging about it. (There. I have passed on our users' complaint...) -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] howot: leap 42.3 and fail2ban usage in most simple way
by cagsm 01 Feb '18

01 Feb '18

Hello list. Newbie with fail2ban, used to work with denyhosts. Leap 42.3 x64 and just fetched in the fail2ban packages > sudo zypper in fail2ban SuSEfirewall2-fail2ban monitoring-plugins-fail2ban now I have the /etc/fail2ban/jail.local file there, and to my understand all I put in there is these two lines for sshd ban testing: > [sshd] > enabled = true That's all right? and then execute the fail2ban-client script with e.g. > /usr/bin/fail2ban-client status > /usr/bin/fail2ban-client start etc.. It now displays one jail, the sshd jail I guess. Any more stuff or howtos and all for me to start with sshd protection? sshd config gracelogin and noroot and stuff is obviously present for a long time thanks for all the hints.

[opensuse] How to ask thunderbird to run again the account wizzard?
by Carlos E. R. 01 Feb '18

01 Feb '18

Hi, Some times one or more of my mail accounts changes or adds new settings. I noticed when setting a temporary system and adding one particular account that the wizard found that IMAP now works, not only POP3 as in the past. So I would like to run the wizard again in existing accounts so that it finds the current settings. Is it possible? Yes, I googled. I found how to bypass the wizard, instructions on how to use it, but not now to tell it to run again in an existing account. What I can do is create a new Thunderbird profile and add the accounts there, one by one, find the new settings, and copy them on the old profile. Seems tedious. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
