Autoplaying video DVDs [SUSE 10.0].
by pelibali 08 Nov '05

08 Nov '05

Hi, I found various ways on the net for several distros, how to get DVD autoplaying; but none of them worked for me on SUSE Linux 10.0 [KDE, Mplayer]. Please, is there a known way to achieve this? I know, that generally DVDs playing _well_ on my machine, but suspecting problems with subfs while trying to do autoplay... Thank you, Pelibali

DNS nsupdate woes
by Chadley Wilson 08 Nov '05

08 Nov '05

Greetings, Has anyone experienced this error while doing and nsupdate to a Suse10 dns server. I also get time out errors when my windows clients try and update dns via dhcp. in my rndc.key file I have created a new key with rndc-confgen -k metsi -a as suggested earlier today. My /etc/sysconfig/named is set to include /etc/rndc.key and I have turned off my firewall. my zones files are in /var/lib/named/master/ They are owned by named dig fqnd returns proper values for my current systems as does dig -x <ip-addr> ping fqdn works returns the IP correctly, OK! ping <ip-addr> works and returns the FQDN, OK! So dns is working properly, in my opinion. Its just the zone updates and keys that are a problem. I have enabled allow-transfer and allow-updates in named.conf Here is the error I get when running nsupdate: #nsupdate -y metsi:XXXXXXX >update add test.metsi.gov.za 7200 A 172.150.0.3 >send Communication with server failed: Time out > Does anyone have clues as to where I can start looking, this server must only allow updates from the localnets. and dhcp. (Will fight DHCP later.. 1st get zone updates to work) :) Thanks Chadley

SL10 : Where is xgettext ?
by Andreas 08 Nov '05

08 Nov '05

Hi, I'd like to compile postgresql and it complains about missing xgettext. A member on the suse-linux list said it was in gettext-devel but I can't find this either with YaST's software install module. Any sugestions so I can get airborne again ? Cheers Andreas

Installing Suse 10 on multiple machines with same selection of software
by Hugo Garcia 08 Nov '05

08 Nov '05

Hi I would like to install Suse 10 on about ten machines with only certain software. I would like to know if one can set a new softwre configuration so that it shows up in the installer. That way I can select that profile without having to manually select software for each machine. Is this possible? Can someone direct me to where I can find out more of how to do it? Thank you in advance. -H

Yast on 10.0 no longer configures multiple fetchmailrc servers

There is no longer an option on "yast2 mail" allowing one to configure for more than one email download location. (Unless there was a button there which aged eyes failed to detect.)

SLES & NOES questions
by Damian Mihai Liviu 08 Nov '05

08 Nov '05

Hello, I know this is not the best place to ask this but I don't want to subscribe to suse-linux-e mailing list. If someone will answer me here I would be very thankful. What is the difference between SLES (SUSE Linux Enterprise Server) and NOES (Novell Open Enterprise Server)? Is Novell providing the src.rpm packages for these products like RedHat does for RHEL? Are the sources free to download? If yes, from where?

A small sample: Nov 7 14:34:10 d8400 sshd[18607]: Invalid user a from 71.129.198.189 Nov 7 14:34:11 d8400 sshd[18609]: Invalid user aaron from 71.129.198.189 Hundreds of entries like the above, working their way through every English letter using common first names, also names of services like Apache. I ran across this Novell Cool Solutions article: http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/trench/16341.html It describes the use of a shell script, run once per minute using a cron job, that parses information from /var/log/messages and adds offending IP addresses to /etc/hosts.deny. I saved the script as ssh-block.sh in my home folder, in a subdirectory named cronjobs. I used su to become root and ran crontab -e, and added the script to run once per minute. Entries in /var/log/messages confirm that the shell script is indeed being run every minute, but the contents of /etc/hosts.deny hasn't changed at all, despite the presence of failed sshd log-ins (also written to /var/log/messages). Can someone knowledgeable about shell scripts take a look at the URL above and see if there is a problem with the script? If not, what did I do incorrectly? What's the proper way to run this job regularly? I assume it must be run as root, both to read /var/log/messages and to write to /etc/hosts.deny.

Floppy drive vs. SUSE 10.0
by pelibali 08 Nov '05

08 Nov '05

Hi, I have three comps with SUSE 10.0 installed. All of them desktops and all of them can copy a 500kb file in about _20 minutes_ to a floppy. No joke, but seemingly "common feature". Reading floppies is no problem at all, only writing to a floppy is like a nightmare. Anyone else seeing the same strange behaviour?! All of the systems fully updated and the automounter is active for floppy/CD. The corresponding fstab things are defaults from the installations themselves... Thanks, Pelibali

I just did a breif test with a 200k+ file, which took several minutes before, now takes 5 to 10 seconds. I noticed in previous discussions on this subject that by removing "sync" from fstab you're just avoiding real-time write to the floppy, and possibly not actually getting the faster performance. So here's what I did... - if /dev/fd0 is mounted then unmount it - mount /dev/fd0 - perform copy to floppy - umount /dev/fd0 - moved floppy to my old suse 8.1 system and read it - it worked! Thanks again Lee!

ntp failure

Hi I'm trying to get my Suse 9.3 to correct my time with the yast ntp-client. I want the daemon to run in the background, and be started at bootup, so I choose the (I have it in norwegian, so this is my translation) "Start ntpd automaticly at boot time" I try to use my universitys NTP-server rasmus.uib.no When I press "test" now I get an error saying something like "server not available or does not answer correctly". OK, I think, let's try one of the predefined ones. I try several of the public ones, all yealding the same error message as before. What do I do wrong? -- Bjørge Solli

suse in a windows network (authentication)
by Roman Sommer 08 Nov '05

08 Nov '05

hi list i was wondering if I could somehow make my suse (10) authenticate versus my windows 2003 domain controller. I configured both ldap client and kerberos client in Yast2. Authentication works (the kerberos part).. but I still cannot log in because ldap isn't able to fetch user account information from my active directory which is because it's not using the kerberos credidentials to establish a gssapi connection. So I set up shell/home information in /etc/passwd. No password. Passwords are still being retrieved from the domain controller via kerberos. Big surprise -> login works. If I now issue a ldapsearch with the filter it already tried before (but with no valid bind) "(&(objectclass=User)(msSFU30Name=testuser))" it starts a SASL/GSSAPI authentication and successfully fetches the needed information. Why doesn't ldap use gssapi on logins then.. or where can I tell it to use it? Couldn't find any suitable option in Yast nor the config files themselves. Oh and no I don't want to use a dedicated user with a locally stored plaintext password to search active directory :) might anyone please help? best regards Roman Sommer

Is OpenSUSE/SUSE 10.0 reliable?
by Ciro Iriarte 08 Nov '05

08 Nov '05

I was expecting to buy a pc next year, and was going to wait for 10.2 to make sure it's stable (gcc4, reiserfs v4, oo2, etc). But, luckily, it seems i'm getting it this year, and obviosly 10.2 won't be ready by then :). So it's reliable sata disks and amd64 in it's current version? Specs: Asus A8N-SLI Premium AMD Athlon 64 3500+ 2GB Corsair RAM 1 WD Raptor for OS 4 Seagate SATA drives for data in RAID5 (would it be best to use MD or just the Silicon Image controler?) Ciro

Re: [SLE] stopping dictionary attacks on sshd
by Dan Abernathy 08 Nov '05

08 Nov '05

Thanks to all who replied. There's certainly more than one way to solve this, isn't there? DenyHosts from http://sf.net/projects/denyhosts, suggested by Patrick, seems to do the job nicely, and was easy to configure. It even supports running as a daemon. I might also move ssh to some high port as was suggested earlier, but I'm not a fan of security by obscurity. I suppose it'd stop the ones who only bother to scan < 1025.

Permissions on the script: -r-xr-xr-x 1 [my username] users 961 2005-11-07 19:09 ssh-block.sh The cron job entry: */1 * * * * /home/[my username]/cronjobs/ssh-block.sh If I ls -l on /etc/hosts.deny, I can see that the file is indeed being recreated every time the script runs, based on the time stamp. If I su to root and run it manually, it runs fine as far as I can tell - nothing is echoed to the screen, there are no error messages, and I'm returned to the prompt after a few seconds. I did notice the script was grepping for "Illegal user" and the log entries actually say "Invalid user", so I changed that in the script...still no IP addresses listed in /etc/hosts.deny, though. I'm nowhere near enough of a regex expert to be able to tell if the script is actually looking for the pattern it's supposed to be finding.

GRUBonce is not working for me on 10.0

Hi everyone, GRUBonce will not automatically reboot the OS selected in the kdm (or from kde) menu. It just boots like a normal reboot was selected, showing the GRUB menu with the default choice selected. This was a feature I enjoyed using so that I could step away while waiting for a reboot. It worked fine on 9.3 for my same hardware, so I don't understand why it will not on 10.0. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks, Mike

I have an Inspiron 600m with 10.0, and pretty much everything worked out of the box. I just had to fiddle a bit with the lineakd to get the correct OSD for the volume controls. Also, my wireless was auto-detected without a problem. The only issue there is that it doesn't auto-connect to my home network, even though it says it is in KWiFi. Odd, but workable.

Need help with new TAR behavior
by Matt Stamm 07 Nov '05

07 Nov '05

I just upgraded from Suse 8.1 to Suse 10. I use tar to backup my files. Under 10 tar behaves differently. I do a date-based backup using the --newer option. Under 8.1 the files skipped where not listed to stderr, under 10 they are!! Is this a design change to tar? My tar command... tar --create \ --gzip \ --newer-mtime=11/02/2005\ --file=/home/matts/tmp/backup/backup.tgz \ MyStuff public_html Under Suse 10 all files older than 11/02/2005 are being displayed. This appear to slow the process down. I have to use a stderr redirect to prevent the errors from being displayed... 2> /home/matts/tmp/backup/error.txt What can I do to prevent the skipped files from being listed? Thanks, Matt

Basically, allows a user on serverA to be trusted to authenticate as a certain user on serverB. The steps, briefly: 1) serverA: `ssh-keygen -t dsa` and hit enter a couple of times to save the key, with the default file names and etc, to ~/.ssh/ 2) serverA: `scp ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub destinationuser@serverB` 3) serverB: `cat ~/id_dsa.pub >> .ssh/authorized_keys2` 4) serverA: `ssh destinationuser@serverB` and watch the connection happen without requesting a password. Key Exchange is good, wonderful, and secure _assuming_ that you have good physical security on your machines. That's a very, very key point. Don't share a key from your laptop, say, to a server that's accessible to the outside world on port 22.

HP JetDirect Printerserver
by Erik Jakobsen 07 Nov '05

07 Nov '05

Hi. I have a problem with my HP Printerserver HP JetDirect 500X. Or maybe better to say, ther is a printer, that I cannot get inay printing from, if I want to print something out from my SuSE 10.0 Eval. The ports are setup to use 9100 and 9101 for TCP printing. My HL5040 Laserprinter on port 9100 is printing ok. But not my HP DJ895Cxi. When I set it up, I printed out an ok test to it, but it will not print from a document. I tried with nmap: nmap -v 192.168.1.3 Starting nmap 3.81 ( http://www.insecure.org/nmap/ ) at 2005-11-07 13:23 CET Initiating SYN Stealth Scan against 192.168.1.3 [1663 ports] at 13:23 Increasing send delay for 192.168.1.3 from 0 to 5 due to 27 out of 89 dropped probes since last increase.

Loop mounting iso doesn't seem to work...
by M.Blackmore 07 Nov '05

07 Nov '05

Hokay. I've downloaded the iso's of the cd and also the EVAL dvd. Loop mounted them per hoaghi's instructions. Is there any reason why mounting the DVD iso (and not makeDVD from the CD's) should fail as an nfs source for booting another 'pooter off the boot cd (as burned from boot.iso)? The error message is something along the lines of (shutdown the other pooter before noting it down, alas) error in nfs unknown error -1 Huh?

One-way transmission problem (with wireless card)
by Paul W. Abrahams 07 Nov '05

07 Nov '05

After some angst I've managed to get my wireless card working, sort of, with my laptop. (The key to the kingdom is ndiswrapper.) However, it seems to have only one-way transmission to the Net. If I ping my router, I get the normal echo response. But if I ping anything in the outside world (like yahoo.com) the message goes out (the nameservers even find the right IP address) but nothing -- nothing -- ever comes back. Similarly, I can't look at any web pages on the Net. (This is with SuSE 10.0.) I've looked at the Yast settings for the card but can't find anything relevant, and my firewall is as far as I know disabled. And other computers connected to the router work fine. Anyone know what the problem might be? Thanks == Paul

K-Bear crashes -- don't know where to begin resolving the problem
by Gil Weber 07 Nov '05

07 Nov '05

Hi, everyone. K-Bear crashes immediately when I try to transfer a file from my home directory to my ftp site. I have no idea why. K-Bear had been working the last time I tried to transfer a file (several months ago). Note that I **am** able to delete files from the ftp site, but the program crashes if I try to send a file to the ftp site. I have no idea what to make of the "backtrace" file that is available when the KDE Crash Handler displays following a crash. Any ideas? I reinstalled KBear but that did not help. Thanks. Gil

Routing
by Robert Fitzpatrick 07 Nov '05

07 Nov '05

I have a problem seeing certain IP's in my own subnet assigned by the ISP, looking for help on how I can get it to work. I have my SuSE Linux workstation with 192.168.1.25 behind a NAT router which is the default gateway for the workstation at 192.168.1.1. Now, I have a second IP in my wks within the subnet assigned by the ISP let's say 1.2.3.43/29, this is to allow hosting of some services, no firewall in place, yet. I have another Linux server at 1.2.3.44/29. I cannot see the other Linux server from my workstation. Perhaps routing can accomplish this for me, but I'm totally stupid on how to set that up, can someone suggest? -- Robert

Getting DHCP to update DNS
by Chadley Wilson 07 Nov '05

07 Nov '05

Greetings, My DNS doesn't get updated immediatly when DHCP assigns an IP to a sysem, Is this possible or is it a manual process? What I would favour is that the dhcp assigns an IP to a system, and then updates dns with a system name linked to the IP. When the system is diconnected the lease is freed and the dns entry removed. I have tried the two options in the dhcpd.conf file that I know of but niether is working... they are ddns-update-style interim ddns-update-style ad-hoc Thanks

KDE releases on SLICK
by Andreas Girardet 07 Nov '05

07 Nov '05

Hello Team As a KDE enthusiast I am confident that KDE will stay around for a long time and stay dominant on the home user front. I do not really have any official capacity here, but I still feel quite part of this amazing journey called openSUSE. I hope I can say these words and won't get into too much trouble .... the focus on Gnome is needed to be able to grow our business user base and focus our internal development effort to what is achievable. I find this all very logical and commendable. I want to personally give the certainty to our majority of kde users, that KDE will still be maintained via openSUSE.org and my own effort, if this is required. I am sure that we will not lack kde packagers in the future. I am sure I speak on behalf of many at Novell/SUSE that see change a must to be able to tackle the market leader in the coming years. I am in no doubt that concentrating the development effort is a goal we will achieve internally as we are preparing ourselves to exchange million dollar punches on the market place. We are de facto a lean, mean fighting machine to grow Linux to the next level. Concentrating development effort is in this scenario inevitable. I do hope that the confusion around the false rumors on KDE's and openSUSE,can be seen as being/getting ready for 2006, the year in which Linux has the break through. Without focus only luck determines outcome. With focus we are just about certain to prevail ;) So refute further runours here our official view: http://linuxtoday.com/infrastructure/2005110500426NWSSNV Cheers Andreas openSUSE is SUPER: To help in the SUSE Performance Enhanced Release project visit http://www.opensuse.org/SUPER

Laptop / wireless card problem with HD detection
by Paul W. Abrahams 07 Nov '05

07 Nov '05

It seems that the installation CD for 10.0 doesn't work on my laptop (a Dell Inspiron 1000) if the wireless card is inserted into the slot; the hard drive can't be detected. Even the rescue system has the problem; "fdisk /hda" says that the disk is unreadable. (Windows has no similar problem.) What's more, with the system installed, shutdown, or even switching users in KDE, hangs up if the wireless card is inserted. Somehow the presence of that card seems to confuse Linux (the kernel, probably) very badly. Has anyone else seen this behavior? I can get around the problem by withdrawing the card, but that shouldn't be necessary. Paul

[] __report_bad_irq+0x1c/0x70 [] note_interrupt+0x5b/0x80 [] __do_IRQ+0xdb/0xf0 [] do_IRQ+0x30/0x60 [] common_interrupt+0x1a/0x20 [] __do_softirq+0x31/0xa0 [] do_softirq+0x26/0x30 [] do_IRQ+0x3d/0x60 [] common_interrupt+0x1a/0x20 [] default_idle+0x0/0x30 [] default_idle+0x24/0x30 [] cpu_idle+0x1c/0x60 [] start_kernel+0x167/0x1d0 handlers: [] (usb_hcd_irq+0x0/0x60 [usbcore]) [] (ata_interrupt+0x0/0x100 [libata]) Disabling IRQ #11 ata2: dev 0 ATA-6, max UDMA/133, 234441648 sectors: LBA48Any idea how I can get this hard disk to work under 9.3? I don't want to switch to SuSE10 now, because all my other machines are 9.3 and I usually a full upgrade in the summer.Thanks, Carlos PS: I forgot to mention that my original Seagate SATA still boots fine, despite the couple of bad blocks.-- Carlos -------------------------------------------------------------------- Scientific Programmer: professional who loves to _find_ own errors.
