[opensuse] Login problems
by udo＠dynamixs.nl 17 Mar '07

17 Mar '07

Hi all, I'm new to this list and also new to OpenSuse. I've installed 10.2 on my system and it worked fine for almost 2 weeks. Since today I can't login with the normal username/password in KDE. Root login is possible. When login in, the screen turns to black for a few seconds and I'm going back to the login screen. Creating a new user from the root login doesn't change anything. The new user has the same problem. Where should i look to find a solution for this?

[opensuse] AppArmored FireFox for openSUSE 10.3
by Alexey Eremenko 17 Mar '07

17 Mar '07

hi all ! I would like to feature-request AppArmored FireFox for openSUSE 10.3 ! The point is: Microsoft did Protected-mode Internet Explorer 7 in Windows Vista, and so, our community must respond with something. The best response I see is an AppArmored profile for FireFox. I think openSUSE 10.3 needs to have 2 versions of FireFox installed by default; Both AppArmored and normal. The Armored version will *not* allow to save anything anywhere. It will allow to save only in one directory: ~/downloads so all hackers alike will not be able to do much... I understand it will cause problems such as: plugins (Adobe Reader) might stop working, you won't be able to install themes and extensions, etc... This is why we must have both normal version and a secured one ! What do you think of this idea? -- -Alexey Eremenko "Technologov" -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] [SLE] Slow transfers from Linux Server
by Tim Hempstead 17 Mar '07

17 Mar '07

Hi, I am having performance issues with my file server running SUSE Linux 10.0 (64bit on an Athlon64). The systems data disks consist of 4 200GB Samsung SATA drives on separate onboard ports on the motherboard which are then configured together as md0 using Linux software raid5 (giving 600GB usable). This is then added to a LVM volume group and has several logiccal volumes and filesystems created on it Bonnie output (using a 2GB file on one of the LVM filesystems housed on md0) is as follows: belgarath:/data02 # bonnie -s 2000 Bonnie 1.4: File './Bonnie.8151', size: 2097152000, volumes: 1 Writing with putc()... done: 46912 kB/s 75.1 %CPU Rewriting... done: 19625 kB/s 12.4 %CPU Writing intelligently... done: 47675 kB/s 25.8 %CPU Reading with getc()... done: 27555 kB/s 51.3 %CPU Reading intelligently... done: 46055 kB/s 15.3 %CPU Seeker 1...Seeker 2...Seeker 3...start 'em...done...done...done... ---Sequential Output (nosync)--- ---Sequential Input-- --Rnd Seek- -Per Char- --Block--- -Rewrite-- -Per Char- --Block--- --04k (03)- Machine MB K/sec %CPU K/sec %CPU K/sec %CPU K/sec %CPU K/sec %CPU /sec %CPU belgar 1*2000 46912 75.1 47675 25.8 19625 12.4 27555 51.3 46055 15.3 265.3 2.3 The system is connected to a Netgear gigabit switch using cat6 or cat5e (tried both) via a PCI Netgear GA302T Gigabit card. Ethtool reports that the card is connected at 1000FD and no network errors are shown. I think that the Netgear card uses the tg3 driver The Windows box is connected to the same gigabit switch using a 3com 3C2000 gigabit card and has a single local SATAII disk. The network card reports is is connected at 1000FD. Accessing the system via samba from a Windows XP box seems quite slow as does accessing it via SFTP, (a sustained SFTP transfer using Filezilla peaked at 310kb/s .... a 670MB iso image has just taken 35+ minutes to transfer across between them). Tests were performed when both the systems and the network were quiet and are reproducable both using other systems and copy files from non-raided disks on the Linux box. Has anyone got any suggestions on where the bottleneck may be and what I could possibly do to improve matters. From the Bonnie figures I am guessing the issue is more likely to lie on the networking side rather than the disk side?

[opensuse] High-speed date transfer using a USB cable?
by Paul Abrahams 16 Mar '07

16 Mar '07

I want to copy the contents of a partition from a disk drive on one machine to a disk drive on another. Within a single computer I can do this using the dd command, but it isn't clear how to use that command for networked data transfers. I'm also wondering about doing the transfer using a USB cable, which probably has a far higher data rate and doesn't have problems with network traffic. Since both machines are laptops, the strategy of physically moving one of the drives to the other machine temporarily isn't feasible. The partition in question is a Windows NTFS partition, and I want the target partition to be bootable, as the source partition is. That probably precludes any strategy based on file-by-file transfers. However, the question is meaningful no matter what the partition type. Any advice on either the hardware or software issues involved? Paul -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Anyone using EncFS?
by Greg Freemyer 16 Mar '07

16 Mar '07

All, I want to use EncFS. It is part of the distro and seems to be working on a newly created directory pair. My issue is I don't know how to re-mount the virtual filesystem. In theory I use fusermount, but what is the syntax? I've tried the obvious ### first I unmounted it just fine # fusermount -u /backup/config-rdiff/ ### Then I try to see what the args are to mount it back # man fusermount No manual entry for fusermount # fusermount --help fusermount: [options] mountpoint Options: -h print help -V print version -o opt[,opt...] mount options -u unmount -q quiet -z lazy unmount ### Then I try few things # fusermount /backup/config-rdiff/ fusermount: old style mounting not supported # fusermount fusermount: missing mountpoint argument # fusermount /backup/config-enc-raw /backup/config-rdiff/ fusermount: old style mounting not supported # fusermount /backup/config-rdiff /backup/config-enc-raw/ fusermount: old style mounting not supported Not sure what else to try.
