nfsv4 README.SUSE
by Marcel Volz 27 Jan '06

27 Jan '06

I had to do several steps to use nfsv4 in SUSE. There is not much documentation around nfsv4 at the time. Maybe it could be helpful to write a README.SUSE so that more people could use/test nfsv4. Comments welcome! 1. First set up some principal and made a keytab (/etc/krb5.keytab) for the server and client host/<FQDN> and nfs/<FQDN> (des-cbc-crc:normal only) 2. Activated nfs4 and gss in /etc/sysconfig/nfs 3. Had to make a missing directoy:.mkdir /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs/nfs (BUG?!) 4. Edited /etc/exports: added /home gss/krb5 (rw,fsid=0,insecure,no_subtree_check) 5. Then I had to load some modules modprobe auth_rpcgss rpcsec_gss_krb5 . Also added this to MODULES_LOADED_ON_BOOT to the file /etc/sysconfig/kernel 6. ln -s /usr/lib/libgssapi_krb5.so.2 /usr/lib/libgssapi_krb5.so or edit /etc/gssapi_mech.conf 8. Changed localhost to my domain name in /etc/idmap.conf 9. Started all needed Daemons nfsserver, idmap, svcgssd at the server and idmap and gssd at the client 10. Mounted the Partition: mount -t nfs4 -o sec=krb5 beta:/ /nfs/beta/ -- Greetings/Grüße, Marcel

XFS?

I noticed that XFS was not an option when partitioning for 10.1 beta1. Is this something that will come later? -- ====================================================== Glenn Holmer (Linux registered user #16682) ====================================================== "Greater coherence cannot be achieved.

26 Jan '06

I have a problem that comes from the update from alpha 2 to 3, and the last weekend I upgraded to beta 1, and the problem continues. I opened the bug 144652, and I have no adecuate response. Other user has comment the same problem with alpha 3: http://lists.opensuse.org/archive/opensuse-factory/2005-Nov/0009.html After the last upgrade to beta1, I try to reinstall preload, and I got: 1:Installing preload ###################################################################################### [100%] Output from preload-0.2-7@i586: insserv: Service boot.coldplug has to be enabled for service boot.preload insserv: exiting now! error: %post(preload-0.2-7.i586) scriptlet failed, exit status 1 I do'nt find boot.coldplug, in /etc/init.d In what package are the script boot.coldplug ?

qtcurve, a replacement for gtk_qt_engine
by jsiebert＠arcor.de 25 Jan '06

25 Jan '06

Hi there, I was looking around the last few days for a replacement for the (my opinion) crappy gtk_qt_engine. As far as I know this package is unmaintained at freedesktop.org and creates a lot of problems (like with eclipse, which I use permanently). Besides when using GTK-based apps under KDE with gtk_qt_engine, they look very [CENSORED] in many ways. I found the very promising project qtcurve (http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=5065) which provides a unified widget theme engine for QT, GTK2 and GTK1. There are binary packages for Suse at Guru's RPM page (http://linux01.gwdg.de/~pbleser/rpm-navigation.php?cat=/Themes/qtcurve) After some testing I think this is a very good replacement for gtk_qt_engine and I would like to vote for inclusion of this package into one of the next Suse/openSUSE releases. What do you think? Greetings Jens Siebert Machen Sie aus 14 Cent spielend bis zu 100 Euro! Die neue Gaming-Area von Arcor - über 50 Onlinespiele im Angebot. http://www.arcor.de/rd/emf-gaming-1

VMware-workstation-5.5.1 and SUSE 10.1 B1
by James PEARSON 25 Jan '06

25 Jan '06

Hello all I tried (unsucessfully) to compile the vmmon modules using both with VMware-workstation-5.5.1-19175.i386.rpm and vmware-any-any-update94 using linux 2.6.15-git12-6-default SUSE kernel It errors out. I was wondering if anyone else has been to install VMware-workstation-5.5 on SUSE 10.1 B1? I haven't had much time to research the problem but I did post extracts of the error messages over at the vmware community. Here is the url http://www.vmware.com/community/thread.jspa?threadID=30803&tstart=0 James

fetchmail 6.3.1
by Aschwin Marsman 25 Jan '06

25 Jan '06

Hi, Fetchmail 6.3.1 was released a couple of days ago. I haven't seen a security update for SUSE 10.0 yet and havent found a new src rpm on: http://ftp.opensuse.org/pub/opensuse/distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-sourc… so I can build it myself easily. Any plans? Otherwise I will get the src. Have a pleasent year end, Aschwin Marsman -- aschwin(a)marsman.org http://www.marsman.org

More gtk-sharp packaging changes.
by Wade Berrier 24 Jan '06

24 Jan '06

More sub packages have been split out. This should have been done the first go around, but better now than later. The following packages have been added: art-sharp2 gnome-vfs-sharp2 gtkhtml-sharp2 rsvg-sharp2 And for gtk-sharp 1.0.10: art-sharp gda-sharp gnomedb-sharp gtkhtml-sharp rsvg-sharp If you're using gtk-sharp-complete or gtk-sharp2-complete in neededforbuild, you won't need any changes (thanks Rudi!).

gtk-qt-engine removed in 10.1?
by jsiebert＠arcor.de 24 Jan '06

24 Jan '06

Hi there! I looked at some screenshots of Suse 10.1b1 at shots.osdir.com and noticed a new option in the KDE control-center in one of the screenshots (http://shots.osdir.com/slideshows/slideshow.php?release=565&slide=15) which covers font and style settings of GTK apps in KDE. Is this related to gtk-qt-engine or is this replaced by another GTK/KDE theme engine in 10.1? Greetings Jens Siebert Machen Sie aus 14 Cent spielend bis zu 100 Euro!

Factory and bugzilla
by Anders Norrbring 24 Jan '06

24 Jan '06

Hiya all... I see quite some entries in bugzilla about "resolved" and "commited", but I haven't seen any updates in the factory distribution directories yet. What's the "normal" lead-time from commited fix until it's available for download? Or, are the fixes not posted for public download? -- Anders Norrbring Norrbring Consulting
