[opensuse-factory] that RWX. problem
Thanks to all that suggested a way to fix every directory and file RWXRWXRWX"." dot ( this whole openSuSE 11.3 M6 system ). I saw no suggests! So I beat it. It took some of my 15+ years playing with UNIX and beat problems. But now, /home/donn/file or directory is clear of the "." dot. -- 73 de Donn Washburn 307 Savoy Street Email:" n5xwb@comcast.net " Sugar Land, TX 77478 LL# 1.281.242.3256 Ham Callsign N5XWB HAMs : " n5xwb@arrl.net " VoIP via Gizmo: bmw_87kbike / via Skype: n5xwbg BMW MOA #: 4146 - Ambassador " http://counter.li.org " #279316 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Ok, do you ignore steve? He wrote 3 times already you should disable SELinux. darix -- openSUSE - SUSE Linux is my linux openSUSE is good for you www.opensuse.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

No Sir; I may have missed his email about this subject. -- 73 de Donn Washburn 307 Savoy Street Email:" n5xwb@comcast.net " Sugar Land, TX 77478 LL# 1.281.242.3256 Ham Callsign N5XWB HAMs : " n5xwb@arrl.net " VoIP via Gizmo: bmw_87kbike / via Skype: n5xwbg BMW MOA #: 4146 - Ambassador " http://counter.li.org " #279316 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Well, good for you. ps.

Hello, the dot is not a problem or failure. http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/manual/coreutils.html states: "Following the file mode bits is a single character that specifies whether an alternate access method such as an access control list applies to the file. When the character following the file mode bits is a space, there is no alternate access method. When it is a printing character, then there is such a method. GNU ls uses a ‘.’ character to indicate a file with an SELinux security context, but no other alternate access method" This happens on Fedora and openSUSE and every other distribution that has SELinux (no matter if enabled or disabled).

Thanks for an explanation. This problem showed up after a recent zypper up or dup. As a non root user (in this case) it caused OpenOffice to not be allowed to write to my Document/donn/file. Which has always worked up to M6. If it is ACL - As I remember during partition defining there was a check box to turn off ACL. Should that be done to prevent this from happening again? Besides I don't need it at all On 05/05/2010 02:10 AM, Thomas Biege wrote:

Do you have details about OOo bug? Why do you think SELinux is the reason. Can you send a strace output? Is there a open bugzilla entry for it already? Thanks, Thomas Am Mittwoch 05 Mai 2010 15:26:15 schrieb Donn Washburn:

It seems OOo runs out of file descriptors... I will file a bug. Am Donnerstag 06 Mai 2010 15:20:21 schrieb Thomas Biege:

I downloaded Sun's version and installed after removing openSuSE's version. The Sun version works, but openSuSE's looks nicer. It is a bit of a pain to get it working. I would have written a bug report but the bug report doesn't like my password/login name. I think it is due to a email change. On 05/06/2010 08:20 AM, Thomas Biege wrote:
