[opensuse-factory] USB Storage device hotplug detection failure
by Digvijoy Chatterjee 23 Jul '06

23 Jul '06

Suse-10.2 Alpha2 ,any connections of a USB storage device ,in my case a Kodak Z740 camera does not pop up beautifully as it used to in 10.0/10.1 asking what do with the new hotplug The more troublesome thing is 2.6.16.13-4-default kernel does not show anything in dmesg when new usb storage devices are hotplugged. Every Camera/Pen Drive etc has stopped working. Btw is a SanDisk SD 1 GB Memory Card supposed to work with Opensuse or Linux in General, has anybody got it to work before because that memory card of my Camera has never resulted in anything in dmesg nor has it caused a popup saying ,new device what to do ? This is when it is really bad , I know it should work ,but it just doesnt , and this is where M$ makes it presence felt ,and i had to reboot into XP and all my photos are there...

by Digvijoy Chatterjee 23 Jul '06

23 Jul '06

Hi, This is 2 days I have installed Suse 10.2 Alpha 2...and because of some error the KDM login screen is coming back again and again as i try to login as ordinary user `digz'.First the autologin failed and then on manually entering username/password..the login screen comes back repeatedly. The user root is able to login and KDE starts. My installation was standard with KDE.This is /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager. ============================================== DISPLAYMANAGER="kdm" DISPLAYMANAGER_REMOTE_ACCESS="no" DISPLAYMANAGER_ROOT_LOGIN_REMOTE="no" DISPLAYMANAGER_STARTS_XSERVER="yes" DISPLAYMANAGER_XSERVER_TCP_PORT_6000_OPEN="no" DISPLAYMANAGER_AUTOLOGIN="digz" DISPLAYMANAGER_PASSWORD_LESS_LOGIN="no" DISPLAYMANAGER_AD_INTEGRATION="no" DISPLAYMANAGER_SHUTDOWN="auto" KDM_USERS="" KDM_GREETSTRING="" DISPLAYMANAGER_KDM_THEME="SUSE" ============================================ Any idea how to sort this out ??

[opensuse-factory] sshd attacks blocked by default request
by houghi 23 Jul '06

23 Jul '06

Just do the following as root: grep sshd /var/log/messages |grep "Invalid user"| \ awk '{print $NF}'|sort|uniq -c|sort -n As most people know, sshd attacks are very common. Also there are various tools out there that can be used to block these attacks. Would there be a possability to have such a thing included in 10.2? Some scripts that are out there: http://www.csc.liv.ac.uk/~greg/sshdfilter/ http://www.aczoom.com/cms/blockhosts http://www.securiteam.com/tools/5JP0520G0Q.html http://linuxmafia.com/pub/linux/security/sshd_sentry/sshd_sentry http://denyhosts.sourceforge.net/ And I am sure there are several more. I think it would help making SUSE a bit safer and cleans up the logfiles rather nicely. It should be something that does not run with cron, as it is to slow to run only each minute. -- >From the day the male foetus' hands grow long enough to grasp at their 'third leg', until the man in question is dead and buried, the penis is a constant source of amusement and amazement to those of the male gender. http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/A219061 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory-unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory-help(a)opensuse.org

by Günther J. Niederwimmer 22 Jul '06

22 Jul '06

Hello, when i install a new SUSE System, i become ifcfg-eth-id-xxxxxx, when some is wrong and I delete this device and configure this device new, i become a ifcfg-eth-bus-pci-xxxxxx ?

[opensuse-factory] Debugging tools
by Juan Erbes 21 Jul '06

21 Jul '06

I need to debug audacity, because I got seg. faults with this application, with any version of it (1.24b, 1.3 or cvs, compiled with many options). I mean the problem appear when I installed a tv tuner card based on Conexant 878a chip, but the sound card (SbLive Platinum), works ok with any application. I use the actual 10.2 alpha version. You can help me?

[opensuse-factory] SPAM: SF2: please change SF2 to sf only if possible.
by The Nice Spider 21 Jul '06

21 Jul '06

list all services, then you will see sf2 using SuSEfirewall2 instead susefirewall2, i suggest only named as "susefirewall" all in LOWERCASE, like squid, named, mysql, samba. Not MySQL or SquiD. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

let's me tell you in these steps (sorry for my bad english): 1. I have 2 NIC: 1 internal and 1 external. the external is using public IP. 2. on yast, i check masquerading 3. external and internal allowed service ONLY listed: http 4. but my clients can access any outside POP/SMTP server (including yahoo using Ypops in their local PC), and maybe many others services. here i attach the sf2 config file. i need this feature in yast: 1. able to create groups, i.e: IT group and USER group 2. able to assign certain access to groups, i.e: a. IT group can access: www, ftp, pop b. USER group can acess: www, pop 3. list more service by their name, i.e: - icq instead typing port 5901, yahoo messanger for 5050. currently only: htttp, https, pop, pops, etc. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
