Port forwarding in SuSEfirewall2
by LinuxInfo 21 Feb '05

21 Feb '05

*Hi all! I have a SuSE 9.2 as firewall with SuSE Firewall2. Im trying to redirect java_tight vnc (port 5801 on the firewall) to a tight vnc server behind my firewall (port 5801 for http server) and port 5901 on the vnc server. The java part works, i reach the login page and can almost logon... The tight vnc httpd redirects port 5801 to 5901, the vnc server on the same machine. This is where my firewall freeks out :D. If i add a new reirect on the firewall, 5901 to the internal machine i can get everything to work once. But if i disconnect and try to connect again it fails. But if i remove port 5901 on the firewall again so that i can load the applet and then add the 5901 rediect again it works... From SuSefirewall2 FW_FORWARD_MASQ="0.0.0.0/0,internal ip,tcp,5801,5801,external ip" #FW_FORWARD_MASQ="0.0.0.0/0,internal ip,tcp,5901,5901,external ip" Thanks for any enlightenments:) Regards /Mattias*

Re: [SLE] SuSE update: RPM has invalid signature (?)

Yep - tried every server, http/ftp, you name it. Someone on linuxquestions.org suggested checking that the system clock is correct - it wasn't, but setting it correctly made no difference either. I guess it must be something to do with rpm - but I have tried a rpm --rebuilddb, which didn't help either. I am completely stumped, and really do not want to re-install since unless I understand what's happening I won't be able to fix it (when it happens again). Cheers, Jon.

Re: [SLE] Firefox Crashes on EBay

This is just a wild guess, but I had a similar-sounding problem with a older version of firefox, and I found disabling CSS for the "problem" sites at least kept me from crashing. Maybe try the menu View->PageStyle->NoStyle before loading ebay. You might also try running firefox-bin under gdb to get some clue. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

I doubt if this will help, but it might: rpm --import ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/9.2/gpg-pubkey-3d25d3d9-36e12d04.asc rpm --import ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/9.2/gpg-pubkey-9c800aca-40d8063e.asc - Jeff . __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

YOU aftermath
by Felix Miata 20 Feb '05

I ran YOU and got a lot of updates today. The kernel was included, so I rebooted. There's still around 200M of stuff in the /var/lib/YaST2/you/mnt/i386/update/9.2 directory tree. Shouldn't all that be deleted? My free space on / is down to 2%, and there's nothing left to delete in /tmp. :-( -- "He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die."

Please Desparate Help to recover.
by John Proctor 20 Feb '05

I wonder if any body could please give me some advice, I have SuSE 8, and via the system disk I can boot up from the hard disk but when I try to go into Yast it just hangs, I know on version 9.2 I can run yast repair from the CD to check and replace damaged system files or re-install missing files, is there any way that I can perform a system check and perform the same sort operation on version 8. I have been through the manual but it only offers mounting the files system via rescue cd which I can do any way, any help would be greatly appreciated John Proctor. Ps I have been trying to solve this problem for over two weeks but with no success.
