https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=215901 Summary: When installing 101.1 Remastered DVD on machine where master is CD and slave is DVD Product: SUSE Linux 10.1 Version: Final Platform: x86 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: AutoYaST AssignedTo: ug(a)novell.com ReportedBy: thomasmlee(a)yahoo.com QAContact: qa(a)suse.de When installing 101.1 Remastered DVD on machine where master is CD and slave is DVD I get this problem: After initial loading of the Unix Kernal, it keeps on asking me to load CD 1. I currently have SUSE 9.1 loaded onto the machine, and burned the 10.1 Remastered SUSE on my DVD drive. It seems this new version assumes whatever the master CD device is, is what is going to be used to install onto the system. 9.1 didn't have this problem. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

There is no wget, ftp and/or w3m available.

The header says: Daily security check v2.0 by Marc Heuse <marc(a)suse.de> But I sent an email to him and it bounced. Has he moved on? Here's what I am suggesting: The seccheck scripts provide some interesting reading for the systems administrator, pointers for tightening things etc. But I get pages of false positives from the writeable, executable, and suid parts of the script. You see some partitions on my disks contain regular rsync-ed backups of other machines, including machines not under my control. To protect my machine, backup partitions are mounted noexec,nosuid. When your scripts get the list of mounts they take no account of this. Would it be an improvement to split your $MNT list into 3? Say: $MNT_WRITE $MNT_EXEC $MNT_SUID This would allow the find to only be fired into the branches of the filesystem where the permissions matter. I'd be happy to work out and suggest some patches, but if you think it better left simple, I won't bother you... michaelj -- Michael James michael.james(a)csiro.au System Administrator voice: 02 6246 5040 CSIRO Bioinformatics Facility fax: 02 6246 5166 -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands, e-mail: suse-security-help(a)suse.com Security-related bug reports go to security(a)suse.de, not here -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

[Bug 207944] New: NetworkManager does not work with prism54

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=207944 Summary: NetworkManager does not work with prism54 Product: SUSE Linux 10.1 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Network AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening(a)forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: sven.burmeister(a)gmx.net QAContact: qa(a)suse.de If I try to use a WEP connection via NetworkManager it fails because it tries to use wpa_supplicant for it, which the prism54-driver does not work with, I think. Using the standard ifup-etc. method does work, yet for the "normal user" it is not obvious why NetworkManager fails, since it does not give any notification but just stops at 28%. Expected behaviour would at a minimum be to inform the user that prism54 will not work with WEP and NetworkManager and that one should use the traditional method. Best would be to not use wpa_supplicant for prism54 as long as they do not work together and use an alternative method within NM. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

ACPI modules will get loaded automatically soon via udev. We should have temperary solution where we have a variable in /etc/init.d/service (should be enough) to easily switch back to manual loading if we experience problems and to be able to rip out the manual loading easily as soon as we are sure the stuff works fine. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=210899 Summary: removal of CONFIG_USB_DEVICEFS breaks applications Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Alpha 5 Platform: All OS/Version: SuSE Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Kernel AssignedTo: gregkh(a)novell.com ReportedBy: rschiele(a)gmail.com QAContact: qa(a)suse.de Greg, on Mon Oct 02 2006 you removed CONFIG_USB_DEVICEFS from the kernel with the reason that it is insecure (Could you elaborate?) and that we have /dev/bus/usb. This does break some applications like VMware (which I would still consider a killer application on Linux for many users) because /dev/bus/usb does not provide a devices file and thus is not a complete replacement. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
