[opensuse] Fedora Merge - SUSE turn to follow
by Alexey Eremenko 02 Mar '07

02 Mar '07

hi all ! I think Fedora merge of Core and Extras is very nice indeed, and I think SUSE must follow this trend, and merge some community packages (from build service?) into the base distro. After all, having 5000 packages vs. Debian's 20,000 is 4x victory for Debian. I think Fedora 7 will come close to 10,000 packages - SUSE needs more packages too to stay competitive. -Alexey -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] smbfs: module not supported by Novell
by Jeff Lanzarotta 02 Mar '07

02 Mar '07

Hello all, Most likely this has been discussed before, but I have not found anything. I am getting the following in my /var/log/messages file... kernel: smbfs: module not supported by Novell, setting U taint flag Any ideas? It looks like Samba is working because *some* of my auto mounts are mounted, but some are not.

[opensuse] New kernels
by BandiPat 02 Mar '07

02 Mar '07

Question! I'm a bit confused on the new kernels and hard drives, optical devices. According to what I'm reading, any kernel 2.6.19 or above is now using the new libata module for drives. What this does basically is change all devices that were labeled as hdxx to sdxx designation. Is that correct so far? Now if you have SATA drives, they are already sdxx designated, so no changes are necessary in Grub or Lilo or /etc/fstab. But, if you have anything labeled with hdxx, those must be changed to sdxx to be recognized? Also, if that is correct, what happens to programs like k3b in seeing the drives? So let's say I have a dual SATA, not counting the Raid, and those will be sda & sdb, right? Now I have two optical devices, cdwriter, dvdwriter as hdc & hdd presently, so those become sde & sdf now? sata=sda sata=sdb hda=sdc hdb=sdd hdc=sde hdd=sdf Is my logic right or do optical devices not count in the whole scheme of things?? thanks, Lee -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Where's the session mgr?
by ken 02 Mar '07

02 Mar '07

Though I've used it dozens of times before, I can't find the session manager for gnome... the gui window where you can add an app to the listing of those which come up when I log in. Where is it? Evoking via the CLI is okay too. tnx -- "Genius might be described as a supreme capacity for getting its possessors into trouble of all kinds." -- Samuel Butler -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Mounting CIFS shares shared by Vista
by Hans van der Merwe 02 Mar '07

I cant get KDE to mount Vista shares? smb://name/share - asks password and then after success gives me list of 0byte files. Doing it by hand "mount -t cifs" works fine?

[opensuse] Freshclam dns problem
by Wilfred van Velzen 02 Mar '07

02 Mar '07

Hi, I'm having a dns problem with freshclam. Whenever it tries to check for updates, it reports the following in it's log file: WARNING: Can't query current.cvd.clamav.net WARNING: Invalid DNS reply. Falling back to HTTP mode. (The fall back to http works, so the problem is minimal, but I would like to fix the dns problem) So: # host -t txt current.cvd.clamav.net current.cvd.clamav.net has no TXT record This is in line with the freshclam problem, but: # host -a current.cvd.clamav.net Trying "current.cvd.clamav.net" ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 64641 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;current.cvd.clamav.net. IN ANY ;; ANSWER SECTION: current.cvd.clamav.net. 895 IN TXT "0.90:42:2690:1172752141:1" Received 78 bytes from 192.168.0.99#53 in 21 ms Hmm, there is the TXT record anyway, and right away: # host -t txt current.cvd.clamav.net current.cvd.clamav.net descriptive text "0.90:42:2690:1172752141:1" This works for a while but after some time the previous response reappears: # host -t txt current.cvd.clamav.net current.cvd.clamav.net has no TXT record So freshclam keeps giving the Warnings... This is on an OpenSuse 10.2 server, which communicates with a firewall/dns-server (also OpenSuse 10.2). The firewall/dns-server machine doesn't have the same symptoms, there the 'host -t txt current...' command gets the correct response every time. However a Suse 9.0 server on the same network has the same problem!? What could be the problem? And how do I fix it? -- Bye, Wilfred. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
