[opensuse] DynDNS
by Mohamed Haidar 06 May '07

06 May '07

I have gotten an account at a dyndns service and i got the domain mohed.com and its pointing to my computers ip and all. Now, this question is vague but I just need some pointers couse the area is huge. I want to make another computer mount a nfs filesystem of the main computer, the one with the domain pointing to it. How would the command in fstab look like ? would it be www.mohed.com/folder or mohed.com /folder or any other *.mohed.com/. Im under the impression thet the www is used when its a www service and nfs is not quite that. Thanks for the help guys, and if the question is'nt that wise the bare with me, im very new to this. Regards, mohed. _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!

[opensuse] Fixing things for good
by Registration Account 06 May '07

06 May '07

After having a look at the serve x 2 results it is easy to see out of 27,000 odd respondents of which aprox68% are professional IT knowledge and yet only 8% of the 27,000 odd people write bug reports. The amount of knowledge we have here is unbelievable and many many people are able to solve issues that need fixing system wide. I know, from experience, that dealing with suse.de is not always pleasant, however if you do find bugs please start witting bug reports. This is the only way we can improve the product and not have to solve issues time and time again. I was amazed after I sent out the massive deficiencies AND subsequent reply from suse.de - That they really don't care if it does not provide real-time protection. If you missed that one its. https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=270581 Regards Scott and good morning 06:15 here GMT +10

[opensuse] Amarok + NFS mounted home
by Graham Anderson 06 May '07

06 May '07

Greetings, I've had some issues launching Amarok with home dir mounted over NFS. Correct me if I'm wrong but my strace on amarokapp seems to indicate a locking issue? If so, any suggestions on further troubleshooting? close(13) = 0 lseek(12, 0, SEEK_SET) = 0 read(12, "", 100) = 0 close(11) = 0 munmap(0x2aaaab7d7000, 4096) = 0 fcntl(12, F_SETLK, {type=F_RDLCK, whence=SEEK_SET, start=1073741824, len=1}) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied) nanosleep({0, 100000000}, NULL) = 0 fcntl(12, F_SETLK, {type=F_RDLCK, whence=SEEK_SET, start=1073741824, len=1}) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied) nanosleep({0, 100000000}, NULL) = 0 fcntl(12, F_SETLK, {type=F_RDLCK, whence=SEEK_SET, start=1073741824, len=1}) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied) nanosleep({0, 100000000}, NULL) = 0 And so on, ad infinitum. My home is an LVM managed volume exported over NFS, both my local machine and my LAN fileserver are on 10.2. Amarok runs just fine on accounts with locally mounted home dirs.

Well, for now we don't have separate package yet, so this profile will affect your normal FireFox. To switch from AppArmored FireFox to normal FireFox, you must type: For normal mode: rcapparmor stop or for AppArmored mode: rcapparmor restart -- -Alexey Eremenko "Technologov" -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

In retrospect i see that it was kind of trivial but for a newbe nothing really is. My question now is how to make the hole process automated. I have tried to add the line ip:folder /mnt/folder nfs rw,no_root_squash 0 0 to my fstab but with no result. I still have to manually mount the folder at startup. Thx for your help everybody. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Try making your folder specification absolute.

Nothing specific , just some pointers or is that outside the scope of the discussion.

All my computers have linux on them. Thx >in advance for any help you guys. What i would like to do is to have a network at home with shared folders. I asked around and people suggested NFS. I have three linux computers with openSuse 10.2 on them. My isp hands me three separate IP's witch are dynamic. All the computers is connected to the same switch. Now I can't say I have read all the man and info pages but i have read a bunch of them including some online howtos. The general idea seams to be that the IP's should be static witch is a luxury i dont have. I could go with the hostname method mentioned above but I need some explination and some guidelines. I'm not using yast for this, im managing the conf-files manualy. I dont thing that getting the NFS service going is a problem, either server or client, its just that I don't know how to handle the dynamic IP issue. Very great full over the advise guys. _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!

[opensuse] suse 10.2 updates
by Serge Naggar 05 May '07

05 May '07

I installed suse 10.2 with gnome, openoffice & evolution - I thought it would be more stable [I come from kde]. The system is 32 amd, ide, usb [dvd, mouse] & dial-up I downloaded all of the available updates [through most of April] for 10.2 and started applying them to the installed system using yast2. - About a third of the way through the updates, yast2 would no longer do an rpm update, so I resorted to: rpm -Fv [freshen]; which works fine but has anyone had this `problem' where yast no longer will work to update using an rpm patch file? - On reboot I found myself with no sound and no usb [no mouse. no dvd, etc] - has anybody had this problem? I think I know the culprit - it is an update to yast2 = yast2-sound-2.15-1.1.i586 patch.rpm. Can somebody confirm or ? thanks, cheers, Serge -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
