[opensuse-factory] Default Security Suggestion
by John M. Anderson 28 Mar '08

28 Mar '08

Hey, I was wondering if we could change the default security settings in openSUSE to have more secure /home/ directories? At minimum I think we should have chmod 700 on all users home directories. But I think also either doing user private groups (Like fedora and ubuntu, where your users default group is created specifically for your user) or setting up some default access lists could also help. Thanks, John --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, … [View More]

[opensuse-factory] zypper download location
by Felix Miata 27 Mar '08

27 Mar '08

I've never been able to figure out where this is. Anyone know? Smart sometimes downloads half the internet, then hangs without committing. I'd like to be able to symlink the zypper cache location to the smart cache location, so that either can find whatever has already been downloaded. Maybe such a symlink would be a good system configuration option. I might be more inclined to choose zypper instead of smart if I could get zypper to leave my kernels untouched. -- "Let us not love with words or … [View More]

[opensuse-factory] [status report] openSUSE distribution, week 13
by Stephan Kulow 26 Mar '08

26 Mar '08

Hi, Alpha3 was released a bit late and with quite some bugs, but it seems good enough for general testing. At least I got quite some worthy bug reports :) The upcoming weeks will be without doubt the most interesting as we're approacing feature deadline - so we'll see a rush of people integrating new features. So keep a good idea on Factory. The overall status of the distribution didn't change much over the last week, easter holidays were calm :) Greetings, Stephan -- SUSE LINUX Products … [View More]

[opensuse-factory] Problems with eclipse on 10.3
by jbrsubscribe 26 Mar '08

26 Mar '08

eclipse on my openSUSE 10.3 seems to have been trashed by something. Could someone post a list of eclipse modules (x84_64 and/or noarch) which should be installed using YAST? Such a list would be of great help to me. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Alpha3 on Asus A8N32SLI
by Markus Koßmann 25 Mar '08

25 Mar '08

When I installed Alpha3 on an Asus A8N32SLI board I noticed one oddity: I 'am using 3 harddisks attached to that board., 2 disks attached to the Nvidia CK804 SATA , one to the addtional onboard SiI 3132 controler. SUSE 10.3 recognized the disks on the CK804 as /dev/sda and /dev/sdb and the disk on the SiI 3132 as /dev/sdc, but with Alpha3 the controler order is reversed. The disk on the SiI 3132 becomes /dev/sda and the two disks on the CK804 become /dev/sdb and /dev/sdc. However the … [View More]
