[SLE] Zenupdater and zmd exe? files
by C. Brouerius van Nidek 22 Jul '06

22 Jul '06

Looking at the running programs on htop I found that Zenupdater (root) and zmd (user) are both exe files. zmd.exe is in --sleep-resume mode but I am a little bit troubled to find exe files in my standard 10.1 Suse.

[SLE] Why this mailing list can not reply to it self?
by The Nice Spider 22 Jul '06

22 Jul '06

strange, 1. when i post to this mailing list, all text will wrapping to 40 chars, even my Outlook Express set to 76 chars. 2. when i press reply to any email in this mailing list, the "to address" is the "address of who send the email". in other mailing list it will show the "address of suse mailing list". so, I must press "Reply All" then email will send to BOTH "the sender and the suse linux email". can moderator fixed this bug? please try Yahoo groups mailing list if you need any example to fix this bug. when you reply Yahoo groups mailing list then email will be send to yahoo groups address NOT the sender address. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

[opensuse] Help, can I trust ZEN
by Gunnar 22 Jul '06

22 Jul '06

I did an update with ZEN some days ago, and it broke my system. Zen killed my X system, I running a 10.1 with a Nvidia card. I have tried to ask in this list, but no one have replayed. I have managed to get my X to work, but I still have problem with sound, it a bit choppy, work fine when I play cd, if I try to play a MP3 file, it is choppy, streaming audio with Amarok, the sound is choppy, when I log in to KDE, the start sound is playing its startup sound much longer then it used to do. Now ZEN is telling my that there are 34 new updates ready, several X files. If I start the update, my system will break again. What shall I do. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-help(a)opensuse.org

Yes, that is correct, it will do that. Then you just carry on from the point where you enter into Manual Setup, and you set up for an installation over FTP. You'll have to find a suitable server, and then you're off. I think you can find a list of servers at e.g. www.opensuse.org. /Per Jessen -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help(a)suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq(a)suse.com

[SLE] Installing package to another box
by Fajar Priyanto 22 Jul '06

22 Jul '06

Hi all, I've got this situation. We are beginning to use Suse10.1 on our customer service pc at our branches. However they are only allowed to connect to the intranet not internet. So, they cannot use Yast to install packages. So, the problem is, I need to install additional packages such as libxine to play movies on those computers. I can download and install the packages using Yast on my Suse10.1 notebook. Can I copy the downloaded packages from my notebook to those computers and then use the rpm -Uvh command? Where are the packages downloaded by Yast? Like in Fedora, yum keeps downloaded packages in /var/cache/yum Thanks a lot, -- Fajar Priyanto | Reg'd Linux User #327841 | Linux tutorial http://linux2.arinet.org 5:27pm up 1:42, 2.6.16.13-4-default GNU/Linux Let's use OpenOffice. http://www.openoffice.org -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help(a)suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq(a)suse.com

[SLE] postfix and apparmour
by Carlos E. R. 22 Jul '06

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, When I installed 10.1 I had to add some rules to apparmour or postfix mail delivery with amavis would fail: Jul 5 13:03:05 nimrodel postfix/smtpd[5615]: fatal: open lock file pid/inet.localhost:10025: cannot open file: Operation not permit Jul 5 13:03:06 nimrodel postfix/master[22973]: warning: process /usr/lib/postfix/smtpd pid 5615 exit status 1 Jul 5 13:10:35 nimrodel postfix/master[5908]: warning: /usr/lib/postfix/lmtp: bad command startup -- throttling Jul 5 13:11:35 nimrodel master[5985]: fatal: master_spawn: exec /usr/lib/postfix/lmtp: Operation not permitted These are my modifications I did then: /etc/apparmor.d/usr.lib.postfix.qmgr: /{var/spool/postfix/,}private/smtp-amavis w, /{var/spool/postfix/,}public/flush w, /etc/apparmor.d/usr.lib.postfix.smtpd: /{var/spool/postfix,}/pid/inet.localhost rw, /{var/spool/postfix,}/pid/inet.localhost:10025 rw, /etc/apparmor.d/usr.lib.postfix.master: /usr/lib/postfix/lmtp px, I don't know if the correcto procedure is to modify those files directly, but that's what I did and it works. Now, I have another problem. Today I had some hundred emails being downloaded, and the command mailq took a long time before failing to complete. I saw this log entry: Jul 21 20:00:46 nimrodel postfix/showq[18412]: fatal: open incoming 564677F01D: Operation not permitted Jul 21 20:00:47 nimrodel postfix/master[4587]: warning: process /usr/lib/postfix/showq pid 18412 exit status 1 Jul 21 20:00:47 nimrodel postfix/master[4587]: warning: /usr/lib/postfix/showq: bad command startup -- throttling Then I looked at /var/log/audit/audit.log, and sure, there was a problem: type=APPARMOR msg=audit(1153504846.751:1344): REJECTING r access to /var/spool/postfix/incoming/564677F01D (showq(18412) profile /usr/lib/postfix/showq active /usr/lib/postfix/showq) So I go to /etc/apparmor.d/usr.lib.postfix.showq, and see this: /{var/spool/postfix/,}incoming r, /{var/spool/postfix/,}incoming/[0-9A-F] r, /{var/spool/postfix/,}incoming/[0-9A-F]/[0-9A-F] r, /{var/spool/postfix/,}incoming/[0-9A-F]/[0-9A-F]/* r, /{var/spool/postfix/,}incoming/[0-9A-F]/[0-9A-F]* r, /{var/spool/postfix/,}incoming/[0-0A-F]* r, Now, the question: Should the last line be: /{var/spool/postfix/,}incoming/[0-9A-F]* r, ? Notice that it is very dificult for me to test this: not till I get another mail with certain ID will it work or fail. Is this a bug? Should all those modifications be included by SuSE in a patch? Or perhaps this is more an appropiate question for the security list? - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFEwTVBtTMYHG2NR9URAoEfAJ9x02bcbobHJEqbQnD0u1ejCE4axwCfVY+k Ssb4CLhfsC2mRrDDXPHDZgw= =XVye -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help(a)suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq(a)suse.com
