VPN failures -- where are the log files?
by M. Edward (Ed) Borasky 30 Nov '08

30 Nov '08

I'm trying to connect to a Microsoft-style VPN using Network-Manager PPTP on openSUSE 11.1 RC1. It's telling me "VPN Connection Failed because the VPN service failed to start". Where are the log files for this, and if there aren't any, how can I figure out what's wrong? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-testing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-testing+help(a)opensuse.org

Network not starting after upgrade from Beta 5 to RC1
by Bayard Coolidge 30 Nov '08

30 Nov '08

After performing an update/upgrade of my Beta 5 installation to RC1, I was not able to access the Internet using my Ethernet port. (I also have a wireless card, but it was unconfigured at this point anyway). I was able to ping other nodes on my LAN (such as a printer and the router box), but DNS resolutions didn't seem to be happening. Error messages in /var/log/messages led me to /etc/dhclient.conf, which was a new file (or version?) installed by the RC1 update (which I determined from the date/timestamp of the file). I mv'ed it to /etc/dhclient.conf.orig and deliberately did NOT attempt to manually create/concoct a new one; according to the dhclient.conf man page, it's not required providing you have a relatively simple set-up, which mine is. This has temporarily resolved the problem for now. I had to manually grab knetworkmanager off of my DVD, but still can't configure my wireless card to use my WPA2-TKIP password, but I believe that's orthogonal to the basic dhclient configuration issue. But I can access the Internet with eth0. I have added my comments, /var/log/messages extract and dhclient.conf to BZ 449851 which may help diagnose the cause of all this.

Call for feature testing 11.1
by Martin Lasarsch 06 Nov '08

06 Nov '08

Hi Beta4 is released, and we would like to have an in deep feature testing of it. You can find on overview of the features that should work on the wiki: http://en.opensuse.org/Testing:Features_11.1 general information: http://en.opensuse.org/Testing This is also a great overview of new features for openSUSE 11.1 If you want you can of course start right now, but we also offer support for that on the irc on Thursday 05.11 between 11:00 and 19:00 CET. Sorry, we can't cover all timezones. Some items in the featurelist are quite obvious, some not. We try to help figure it out in the irc, so ask if you are not sure what to do exactly. We will meet in the channel #opensuse-testing. We are aware that the wiki is not the best tool for it, but due the lack of something else which is also accessible externally we have to use it. Short workflow: - look at the topic of the channel, all ongoing tests are there ... - look on the wiki for a feature that's not tested: Status: ready to test Test Result: idle - announce the number on the irc so everbody knows that somebody is working on it - the number will be in the topic - announce if the test are failed or worked, number will be removed from topic - the SUSE/Novell staff will enter it in the wiki and our internal feature database -- with kind regards, Martin Lasarsch, Core Services SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5 90409 Nürnberg GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) martin.lasarsch(a)suse.de - http://www.opensuse.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-testing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-testing+help(a)opensuse.org

Testing:Features_11.1 Feature No: 302196
by Dave Plater 04 Nov '08

04 Nov '08

Hi, I've marked (Feature No: 302196) "Make it possible to use variables in repository urls" as failed but this is probably because the variable $SUSEVERSION doesn't exist and the mechanism to set this variable is not in place. Is this the right thing to do? Regards Dave P -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-testing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-testing+help(a)opensuse.org
