SuSE's dist path?
by Mark Hounschell 10 Oct '06

10 Oct '06

I recently heard a rumor that 10.1 was going to be the last of the "off the shelf" Boxed set and that in the future (10.2) you would pay for a key that let you download the product. I told the guy 'NO WAY'. I hope he was wrong. Has any one else heard of such? Mark

[opensuse] How to troubleshoot system hang
by Peter Sjoberg 09 Oct '06

09 Oct '06

I have a dual opteron system running OpenSuse 10.1 and it has aa very bad habit of hanging. With hang I mean that it's nothing on the screen, no oops, sysrq s,e,i,u,m,t doesn't do anything but b did reboot, sometimes at least. I did add "nmi_watchdog=2" and sending syslog error..crit to a different node in the hope that I would catch something but still I have nothing. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------- Techwiz, Peter Sjoberg PGP key (12F506C8) on keyserver & homepage Key fingerprint = 3DC2 CEBA 1590 B41A 3780 955A DB42 02BB 12F5 06C8 mailto:peters-opensuse AT techwiz.ca http://www.techwiz.ca/~peters --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

udev
by Luciano Mannucci 09 Oct '06

09 Oct '06

Hello! Is there a way to get rid of the udev system? I don't need "a userspace application for populating /dev dynamically with only entries for devices actually present". I want /dev to bear the devices statically: it is a server and it must not do anything if somebody plugs anything on it. And I w3ant to make my own devices with mknod and wish that they won't be forgotten if I reboot the machine... luciano. -- /"\ /Via A.

Traffic stats of ifconfig ~4Gb -> 0Gb.
by pelibali 09 Oct '06

09 Oct '06

Hi, I had the issue and could find google entries for that writing that it is usual that while running, the statistics of the network traffic displayed via ifconfig could be reseted easily by itself and is "normal" to have an overrun around 4Gb-s, where the counter starts again from zero! I read suggestions for such a case to not to let you fooled by ifconfig and use vnstat or similar, measuring perfectly. Any ideas, how "normal" this kind of statistics zeroing on SUSE 10.0 is and how to avoid that? Is vnstat displaying well in that case, when the ifconfig-counter goes to zero several times? Extra question to vnstat: does anyone know, what happens e.g. when changin' the system time via ntp? Does vnstat give a correct output also if not only few seconds, but minutes were corrected? I mean e.g. now it is 20:21, so used internet for 22 minutes and then let's say via ntp the time will be set to 20:11. Then there will be ten more minutes in the hour, alltogether 70 minutes, ruining likely all of the stats. Maybe overwriting them, because there will be this time twice 22:21 and so on. Maybe getting too late already, thanks for any thoughts, Pelibali

Bingo! I'd changed the Options line everywhere except the one place that it never occurred to me that there might be one -- in httpd.conf. Once I added the +FollowSymLinks there, everything started workin' all hunky-dory like. Thanks! - Ian

Apache2 serving directories beneath a symlink
by Marlier, Ian 09 Oct '06

09 Oct '06

On one of my machines, /opt is a symlink (for reasons best not gone into, because they make my head hurt): /opt -> /otherdir/opt I need apache2 to serve a directory in the /opt tree (/opt/webapp/htdocs). For ridiculous (but unavoidable) reasons, I cannot refer to the DocumentRoot by its real path (/otherdir/opt/webapp/htdocs), but must refer to it by its linked path. I've got apache set up with the right confs, and "Options FollowSymLinks" specified _EVERYWHERE_. And yet, when I browse to the site I get a 403. And, in the logs, I get this: [Mon Oct 09 11:36:56 2006] [error] [client 192.168.1.65] Symbolic link not allowed or link target not accessible: /opt /opt, being a symlink, is 777. The directory to which it points is owned by root:root, but is permissioned 755 -- which is to say, apache has the rx permissions that it should need. Anyone have any tips on what might be going on? Am I violating some kind of fundamental apache security thing here? Or is there a way to do what I need to do. TIA - Ian

Gui for nut on Suse 10.1?
by constant＠indo.net.id 09 Oct '06

09 Oct '06

Looking for a gui for my UPS. Nut seems a good candidate but after reading lots of literature I would like to try out a gui for the fine tuning and testing of the UPS of unknown origin. Somebody using Knutclient? Only found rpm's for Mandriva and ALTlinux. Other possibilities which I have overseen?
