I tried out your suggestion too, made no difference. I happened to look at the signal strength, and for some reason, the Raspi always picked the AP with the least signal (27/70), dunno why. I pointed it to a different AP, and it's been fine for almost 24hours now. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (16.9°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free dynamic DNS, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, Trying to edit the launcher of an application from the openSUSE Whisker menu, I see: firefox %u So I wonder what is that %u. There is a help button, which I try, and it takes me to: <https://docs.xfce.org/xfce/exo/4.12/desktop-item-edit>, which contains crucial information such as: Command This is the command that is ran when executing the launcher. Wow! I would never have guessed that. But they say nothing about possible parameters. Anybody knows where are those things like %u documented, or lacking doc, what does it do? - -- Cheers Carlos E.

[opensuse] yast proxy setting and yast package manager
by Istvan Gabor 24 Jun '20

24 Jun '20

Hello: I have an openSUSE Leap 15.1 system I installed behind a firewall. I configured proxy in yast so that yast package manager could access the internet. That worked. Recently I moved the computer, and at the new place there is no proxy. When I tried to use yast package manager it could not access the internet. I have disabled proxy in yast, but yast package manager still cannot access the network. It seems it is still using the disabled proxy values. How can I set it to work without restarting the computer? Thanks, Istvan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] IMPORTANT: openSUSE account migration - deadline
by Christian Boltz 22 Jun '20

22 Jun '20

Hello, important and urgent note for everybody with an openSUSE account (used for bugzilla, the wikis, forums, buildservice etc.) yet: If you did not migrate your account to the new account system yet, please do so in the next 3 days (until June 18th). You can find more details about the account migration on https://idp-portal-info.suse.com/ [1] The actual migration is done on https://idp-migrate.opensuse.org (login with your old account, then set a password for the new account) The original deadline was end of June, but sadly it was shortened to June 18th. After this date, AFAIK account migration won't be possible anymore, and you'll have to create a new account (with a new username). Just to make it clear: the openSUSE account ("community account") is now a separate account, independent of the "commercial" SUSE account for which you received a mail about a month ago ("New SUSE User Accounts - partners and customers"). I'm only the messenger, so please don't shoot me ;-) Regards, Christian Boltz [1] You can also find this link in the migration note on bugzilla, the forums and the wikis. -- ... you start off with a typical message, let's say a 2.5MB Word document containing three lines of text and a macro virus ...

[opensuse] simplest way to send mail from cron
by Dave Howorth 19 Jun '20

19 Jun '20

I run some cron jobs on a Raspberry Pi and would like to see output emailed by cron on my [separate] opensuse box. The Pi by default has no mail software installed, so I'd like to find the smallest/simplest way of enabling its cron to forward mail to my opensuse host on the LAN. My opensuse box has the usual postfix, mailx etc stuff, which I confess to not knowing much about, and claws-mail that I use as my MUA. Do I need to install (and configure :( ) postfix on my Pi or is there some other way to send mail that is less complicated. Or some other way to get cron to send its output?* * At the moment I make it write all the output from the jobs to files in a directory under /var/log but: (a) that means I have to actively go to the Pi to check them rather than have them delivered to my desktop, and (b) it only keeps the last output from each job, which is normally OK but could cause grief. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Let fail2ban send info mail daily, not after every ban
by Vojtěch Zeisek 17 Jun '20

17 Jun '20

Hello, I have on Leap 15.1 fail2ban 0.10.4-lp151.1.1 from main OSS repository. It works perfectly. I just in jail.local enabled banning of relevant services. Everything fine, except it sends mail after every ban action, but I'd prefer less longer mails, e.g. daily batches of all reports or something like that. I'm bit confused from discussion at https://github.com/fail2ban/fail2ban/issues/832 and https://github.com/fail2ban/fail2ban/pull/716 It seems that "maillatency = 30m 12h" should be available since 0.9.4. Or not? I have in my jail.local also bantime = 1w findtime = 10m maxretry = 5 maillatency = 30m 12h But it still sends mails after every ban action. More there is discussion https://github.com/fail2ban/fail2ban/pull/1460 about [DEFAULT] # enable for all jails: bantime.increment = true # default factor (correspond twice increase): bantime.factor = 1 # avoid endless growth of ban-time (max ban for 3 weeks): bantime.maxtime = 3w I'm confused here... What is the difference between approach with maillatency and increment+factor+maxtime? More over, the second option seems to be available in 0.11.1 which is available in security repo. So... does anyone have fail2ban 0.10.4 configured to send mail only once upon a time? If so, how? :-) Or do I have to update to 0.11.1?
