Hello, I did not know, why the yast2-ldap-server modification stayed on the top of ChangeLog so long. Now I looked a bit more carefully: ------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------ 2016-6-2 - Jun 2 2016 ------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------ ++++ yast2-ldap-server: [...] So it will stay on the top of ChangeLog for another eight years :-) Bye, CzP --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Recovering from accidentally removing /var/lib/rpm/Packages
by Sid Boyce 02 Aug '08

02 Aug '08

Tried "rpm --rebuilddb, "rpm --initdb". There was a directory named /var/lib/rpmrebuilddb.8774 which I also tried renaming to /var/lib/rpm. Not all installed packages appear, also file to package association is missing for some packages, e.g:- tindog:/var/lib # rpm -q pidgin package pidgin is not installed tindog:/var/lib # which pidgin /usr/bin/pidgin tindog:/var/lib # rpm -qf /usr/bin/pidgin file /usr/bin/pidgin is not owned by any package # pidgin -h Pidgin 2.4.3 Last factory update 30th. July, currently "zypper dup" doing just under 1 Gig of updates. Any ideas? Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...

[opensuse-factory] synergy 64 bits and java
by Putrycz, Erik 31 Jul '08

31 Jul '08

Synergy on 64 bit systems has been found to crash java quite a bit. See http://forums.java.net/jive/thread.jspa?messageID=290594 A patch is available at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/synergy/+bug/207057 The synergy project seems to be rather dead, are there any chances this patch could be applied on the version distributed with os?

[opensuse-factory] Mozilla Firefox crashes reproducably on openSUSE 10.3 (i586),VERSION = 10.3
by Christoph-Erdmann Pfeiler 26 Jul '08

26 Jul '08

Gentle readers, please give me some hints for further investigation Im using openSUSE 10.3 and MozillaFirefox-3.0.1-1.1 Everytime, I invoke the the home page of the company Renault Deutschland (http://www.renault.de/) and I move the cursor over the menu (some JavaScript code), Firefox crashes with a segfault. I've invoked Firefox from gdb, but gdb complains about missing symbol tables, and allows operation with very poor information output. The MozillaFirefox-debuginfo package is installed, but I cannot find a symbol table for Firefox himself, only for the extensions. What I see, is this: gdb /usr/lib/firefox/firefox GNU gdb 6.6.50.20070726-cvs Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

[opensuse-factory] Bugzilla broken?

Starting from the time of the below Bugzilla action, I have been unable, logged in or not, with any browser on any OS to load any Bugzilla bug page, eventually getting an error 504 (gateway time-out) with each attempt to do so. Query pages, bug lists & other web sites still work. Is this happening to anyone else?

[opensuse-factory] initrd from install cd
by Frederico Recsky 24 Jul '08

24 Jul '08

Hi All, I'm adding some modules to initrd from suse cd-install (suse 11 and the modules aren't in main kernel tree) and usually I take the initrd from cd-install, open it by zcat |cpio and add or swap the necessary modules and scripts to boot my brand new hardware (not released also) and rebuild it on cd image. But I want to build the initrd in the right way (if there is), with the sources and etc.. I've searched the wiki and google but only finded references to create initrd to a already installed system (mkinitrd). There is some link or "how to" about the initrd from install cd? -- ____________________________ Frederico Recsky Linux User: #253572 http://www.fred.eti.br http://www.perl.org.br --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] / on NFS
by Peter Czanik 24 Jul '08

24 Jul '08

Hello, Something to consider for 11.1. I just finished installing 11.0 in a situation, where / is on NFS. It went all right and completely smooth up to the point, where stage2 installation finished. Once YaST2 finished the last messages I have seen on the screen were: Shutting down network interfaces: eth0 Of course, the machine could not continue booting, as / was mounted on NFS. The same problem appears also when shutting down the machine. Could network interface shutdown be disabled if / on NFS is detected? Or is there any better solution for this problem? Bye, CzP --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] chrooted factory question
by Carlos E. R. 24 Jul '08

24 Jul '08

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I often update factory while running my "stable" system by chrooting to it: mount /otros/test_d/ mount /otros/test_d/boot/ mount --bind /proc /otros/test_d/proc mount --bind /sys /otros/test_d/sys mount --bind /dev /otros/test_d/dev cp -f /etc/resolv.conf /otros/test_d/etc/resolv.conf chroot /otros/test_d/ Where "/otros/test_d/" is the partition where factory is. This works, I do a "zypper dup" and factory is updated. Fine :-) But there is a glitch: the prompt does not change: nimrodel:/ # I'd like to have a different prompt on that chrooted xterm, so that I don't confuse it with my "stable's" xterms. Is it possible? The command "hostname" returns "nimrodel", not the real name of factory (minas-morgul). I tried: nimrodel:/ # export HOSTNAME=minas-morgul hostname nimrodel:/ # which does not work. Anyway, I don't really need the hostname to change, the prompt would be enough. Do you know of a trick to do that? This is not strictly a "factory" question, but intend to use the trick for factory O:-) - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
