[opensuse] 10.2 annoyances
by Sargon 04 Jan '07

04 Jan '07

In previous releases we were able to change SCPM profiles at boot time by adding PROFILE=profile_name to the boot statements in GRUB's menu.lst. In 10.2 this doesn't work, at least not on the two laptops we are testing. We also noticed that changing the KDE splash screen seems to have no effect, as the SuSE default still loads. We went so far as to log out, delete the ksplashrc file, login, change the screen, and logout/login, only to see the default splash screen load. Has anyone else run into these? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] can someone send me SuSE 10.2's /etc/init.d/boot.local
by Zhang Weiwu 04 Jan '07

04 Jan '07

Ah I did stupid thing. By mistake I have removed /etc/init.d/boot.local. I am afraid this file might be important that the next time I start my computer it won't boot. I don't have other SuSE 10.2 hosts so I just keep the machine on and ask the list to send me a copy. I am using SuSE 10.2 x86 Thank you very much, a fast reply is very much appreciated. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] "Interesting" SAX2 Issue
by Gordon Keehn 04 Jan '07

04 Jan '07

I just installed OpenSuSE 10.2 on an IBM A60 (video adapter unknown; it's at home and I'm at work) that had previously had 10.1 installed. When I originally installed 10.1, after the first boot I got a popup stating that my monitor geometry was unknown, and did I want to configure it (or words to that effect). I clicked "Yes" and SAX2 opened up, letting me select the screen resolution and color density I desired. I wasn't, therefore, surprised when I got the same popup after installing 10.2. (Installing, not "updating to"; several other things happened on this box in the meantime.) What DID surprise me was that, after setting resolution and screen density in SAX2 and clicking "Test" when prompted, my monitor (an IBM G96 19" CRT) displayed a (brightly colored) flashing screen stating that the display parameters were incorrect (again, or words to that effect). Pressing <Space> several times got me back to SAX2, but anything I did at that point resulted in the same problem. I eventually recovered by booting to Failsafe mode and restoring (i.e. renaming) the original configuration file in /etc/X11. This time when I rebooted and received the monitor geometry popup, I selected "No". The popup closed leaving me with the screen resolution I wanted. I don't know about color density (yet) but it is at least 65536 colors (16 bit). Now I'm afraid to do anything to probe or modify my display settings. Has anyone else run into this kind of strangeness configuring their display for the first time?

[opensuse] errant 'who' behavior
by Carl Hartung 04 Jan '07

04 Jan '07

Hi All, This is actually a two part question. a) Is there a 100% proof-positive way to determine if someone has previously broken into a system via ssh... before remote root logins were disabled and a weak password replaced... and b) how do I correct the apparent inability of 'who', given any parameters, to return something more informative than just a prompt? Copied & pasted examples: (note: root has logged into console tty1 after the user has logged into his desktop on tty7, then root has logged in again via shell on the user's desktop.) as user: > carl@linux:~> who > carl@linux:~> > carl@linux:~> who -a > carl@linux:~> > carl@linux:~> who -m > carl@linux:~> > carl@linux:~> who -u > carl@linux:~> as root: > linux:~ # who > linux:~ # > linux:~ # who -a > linux:~ # > linux:~ # who -m > linux:~ # > linux:~ # who -u > linux:~ # Additional info: > linux:~ # which who > /usr/bin/who > linux:~ # l /usr/bin/who > -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 25204 2006-01-31 11:28 /usr/bin/who* > linux:~ # file /usr/bin/who > /usr/bin/who: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), for > GNU/Linux 2.2.5, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped All ideas/hints gratefully appreciated and a happy new year to all of you! regards, Carl -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Varying USB Bus-Ids
by Fabian Scheler 04 Jan '07

04 Jan '07

Hello everybody, I currently have the problem that my usb wlan dongle is assigned different usb bus-ids from time to time. Currently the id 1-4:1.0 is used, but sometimes 2-4:1.0 is used. I can work around that by reconfiguring the wlan dongle but this is quite annoying. Is there a way to fix this mapping between bus-id and wlan dongle? TIA, any help is appreciated!

To be sure i installed the packages you're using, but with the same result. But i have found a "solution", i simply had to comment out the line loading v4l (automagically introduced by sax2): < Load "v4l" -------------- ># Load "v4l" Now it works. Great! Thank you Tim P.S.: Can someone figure out what's going on or where i can report this? I do not have the knowledge to further investigate the cause.
