OpenSuse 10.0 and external usb hdd
by Otto Rodusek (AP-SGP) 11 Apr '06

11 Apr '06

Hi, I hope I have the correct forum, and apologize in advance if I don't !!! I have installed OpenSuse 10.0 (64bit) and things seem to be working ok. However, I have the following query vis the external usb-2 connection. I have 2 identical 200GB Seagate drives - one connected internally (/dev/hda) and another externally (for backup/rsync) via a usb-2. When I do a hdparm on /dev/hda it works normally: rentsch-asia:/var/log # hdparm /dev/hda /dev/hda: multcount = 16 (on) IO_support = 1 (32-bit) unmaskirq = 1 (on) using_dma = 1 (on) keepsettings = 0 (off) readonly = 0 (off) readahead = 256 (on) geometry = 24321/255/63, sectors = 390721968, start = 0 However if I do the same command on the exact same drive but connected via usb2 I get this: rentsch-asia:/var/log # hdparm /dev/sda /dev/sda: HDIO_GET_32BIT failed: Invalid argument HDIO_GET_UNMASKINTR failed: Invalid argument HDIO_GET_DMA failed: Invalid argument HDIO_GET_KEEPSETTINGS failed: Invalid argument readonly = 0 (off) readahead = 256 (on) geometry = 24321/255/63, sectors = 390721967, start = 0 Any idea how to get the correct params so I can set them to my requirement?? Thanks and rgds.

OpenSuse 10.0 / Samba / Cups problem
by Otto Rodusek (AP-SGP) 11 Apr '06

11 Apr '06

Hi, I hope I have the correct forum, and apologize in advance if I don't !!! I have installed OpenSuse 10.0 (64bit) and although everything I configured is working correctly - the logs themselves would indicate that something is amiss with opensuse-samba. I want to give my users file access via SAMBA. I have configured it and started it up and users are certainly able to store and retrieve files without any problems or issues. However, my log files (/var/log/messages) are continueously being filled up with the following messages: Apr 11 12:15:12 rentsch-asia smbd[2034]: [2006/04/11 12:15:12, 0] printing/print_cups.c:cups_cache_reload(85) Apr 11 12:15:12 rentsch-asia smbd[2034]: Unable to connect to CUPS server localhost - Connection refused (repeated many many many times.....!!!!!) (continuous !!!!!! fills up very quickly!!!!) Now, I am NOT using cups or any printing facilities for that matter as no printers are connected or shared. I have commented the "printers" line in the smb.conf file but to no avail. Any ideas how to stop the messages?? Below is part of the relevant entry in the smb.conf file. --------------------part of smb.conf ------------------------------- [global] log file = /var/log/samba/smb.%m log level = 1 max log size = 50 read raw = no dns proxy = no encrypt passwords = yes # printing = lprng preferred master = no server string = Samba Server on rentsch-asia.com (192.0.0.254 / 203.125.254.42) workgroup = LMPP hosts allow = 192.0.0. 192.168. 127. write raw = no netbios name = LMPPMAIL socket options = SO_KEEPALIVE TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 load printers = no security = user hosts equiv = /etc/hosts # username map = /etc/samba/smbusers password level = 8 username level = 8 # logon path = \\%L\Profiles\%U # logon home = \\%L\Profiles\%U dns proxy = No # printing = cups #[printers] # comment = All Printers # path = /var/spool/samba # browseable = no ## Set public = yes to allow user 'guest account' to print # guest ok = no # writable = no # printable = yes # create mask = 0700

userdir apache2 & 10.0
by jdd sur free 11 Apr '06

11 Apr '06

hello :-) until now (suse 9.0) the userdir directive of apache2 was enabled by default. on my own server, http://domain/~login open index.html in the user public_html directory. I try to setup an apache2 server on an suse 10.0 machine. say "mouette" http://mouette opens the /srv/www/htdocs/index.html but http://mouette/~login/index.html gives 403 error. on the two machines (9.0 and 10.0), permissions are the same (read by all). Apache config files are nearly the same on the two distros, but not exactly. mod_userdir.conf seems identical. ay idea? thanks jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://dodin.org/galerie_photo_web/expo/index.html http://lucien.dodin.net http://fr.susewiki.org/index.php?title=Gérer_ses_photos

Hi! On 4/11/06, HG <hg.list(a)gmail.com> wrote: To disable passwd login (and only allow ssh-keys) set ChallengeResponseAuthentication=no It's probably just close to UsePAM yes.

SUSE 10, GRUB & XP
by Dimitris Kalamaras 11 Apr '06

11 Apr '06

Greetings, people. I wonder if you can help us in this. A newbie friend is trying to install SUSE 10 onto his Windows box. (he is a power user of Windows, and he has no prob to understand what is going on with partitions, packages, etc). The box has two disks. /dev/hda, dev/hdb. During Setup, he selects Language (Greek) & KDE, then moves to Advanced as he was told to create custom partitions . He does the following partition configuration : /dev/hda1 with HPFS/NTFS mounts to /windows/C (main windoze) /dev/hda2 with ext3 mounts to /. He selects it to be formatted. /dev/hda3 as swap and selects it to be formatted. /dev/hdb1 with HPFS/NTFS mounts to /windows/D (data, essential docs, etc) Then he configures GRUB into MBR of /dev/hda as follows: SuSE Linux 10.0 /boot/vmlinux (/dev/hda2, root=/dev/hda2) Windows Floppy FailSafe Memory Test default boot partition: /dev/hda1 When the software is installed the system is rebooted and the following message appears: GNU GRUB version 0,96 (639K lower .... upper memory) [Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For the first word, TAB lists possible command completions. Anywhere else TAB lists the possible completions of a device/filename] grub> It seems that grub is installed but not properly. Why is that? Do you have any suggestions? I mean, anything will be welcomed because I would really like to help the guy. He is programming in C, C++,PHP, etc and he is preparing his migration a long time now. It is a pity that SUSE (IMHO the best distro) isnt working for him. Thanks in advance, --Dimitris Kalamaras

Re: [opensuse] Cups/Samba Interoperability Bug?"
by Robert W March 11 Apr '06

Mark wrote, /No, we didn't try raw printing here. We only use raw printing when there are true networked printers (like HP) with their own NIC/IP address. Still, to get raw printing to work one needs to uncomment those two lines in the /etc/cups/mime* files, so regardless of raw or not printing the Samba/cups combo is not configured correctly either way. / Mark, On my SUSE10.0 system the two lines in the /etc/cups/mime* files are commented. This appears to be the default. And the following command ... $ lp -o raw filename sent to a non raw queue prints as expected. So it seems that some other mechanism is in play and allows raw printing to a non raw printer. Have I got this right? -Robert

How to set IP address during installation over local network??
by Adinda Praditya 11 Apr '06

11 Apr '06

Hi list, I'm trying to install suse 10.0 over the local network (via HTTP). I loaded the NIC module driver but i didn't find how to set my own ip address. I couldn't find the manual how to set this up. I read installation over the network on "installation help" and it said nothing about setting the NIC or IP address. Please help. Thanks, Adinda P

Has anybody any experience with fail2ban and susefirewall2? Does it work with susefirewall2? Anything else that I could use to ban IP address from zombies? -- Thanks http://www.911networks.com When the network has to work

Hello! I miss the package nss_lwres in SuSE 10.1 (Beta). SuSE 10.0 had this package: http://www.novell.com/products/linuxpackages/professional/nss_lwres.html The server package bind-lwresd is still there. But where is the client part? Is this package replaced by another one? Greetings, Björn
