[opensuse] reboot (or poweroff) seems to hang when there is a mounted ncpfs
by Wilfred van Velzen 04 May '07

04 May '07

Hi, I've experienced this on two separate servers 1 running Suse 10.2 i386, and 1 running the Suse 10.2 x86-64 xen kernel. But they both connect to the same Netware 6.0 server. When there is a mounted ncpfs the reboot (or poweroff) process hangs just after the line displaying the filesystems are unmounting. I've waited maybe five minutes at times, displaying no HD activity, after which I just pressed the reset button on the server, to get things going again. The last lines in /var/log/boot.omsg show (if that is any help): [...] Running /etc/init.d/halt.local done<notice>killproc: kill(5172,3) Sending all processes the TERM signal... done When I first umount the ncpfs before the reboot, the machines reboots just fine... Has anyone had the same experience? Should this become a bug report? Met vriendelijke groet / Best regards, Wilfred van Velzen -- SERCOM Regeltechniek b.v.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, After reporting a bug (memory hole) in kbabel (Bugzilla #256363) I'm told that «KBabel is unmaintained upstream». Is this so?

[opensuse] [OT] Push for OSS in US Elections; RH support
by ken 04 May '07

04 May '07

A member of the Open Voting Coalition (OVC, an organization promoting the use of open source software in US elections <http://www.openvotingconsortium.org/>) will give a keynote speech at an upcoming Red Hat. Red Hat is considering financial support of OVC. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [CASE_OH] FW: All Time Biggest Event for OVC -- May 9th Date: Thu, 03 May 2007 21:23:07 -0400 From: John Burik <john(a)caseohio.org> Reply-To: CASE_OH(a)yahoogroups.com To: CASE <CASE_OH(a)yahoogroups.com> .... ------ Forwarded Message From: OVC Announce <alan(a)openvotingconsortium.org> Reply-To: OVC Announce <alan(a)openvotingconsortium.org> Date: Thu, 03 May 2007 08:01:30 -0700 To: <john(a)caseohio.org> Subject: All Time Biggest Event for OVC -- May 9th __ Dear Friends of Open Voting: My keynote address at the Red Hat Summit is less than one week away! Only problem: we need help getting through the next week. Red Hat is paying for food, lodging, etc., but we have other expenses to cover in the mean time. My appearance at Red Hat, assuming I can pull it together, will be very beneficial for our organization and for the Open Voting cause. WHY RED HAT IS IMPORTANT ------------------------------------------------ Just as a reminder of why this is so important for OVC... Eventually, soon, OVC must have corporate sponsorship. The most likely corporations to want to see us succeed are open source champions -- not Microsoft. Red Hat is the biggest. The Red Hat Summit has many corporate sponsors, including IBM, HP, Dell, and so on. They will all be there. They want to hear about the importance of the Open Voting project -- the importance for democracy and also the importance for the open source movement worldwide. More that 1,000 are expected for my keynote. It had better be good. I have a one-hour workshop later the same morning (May 9). I also need to prepare literature for distribution. Here are some links about it: http://www.redhat.com/promo/summit/?sc_cid=bcm_bnrhpsummit_032 http://news.moneycentral.msn.com/ticker/article.aspx?Feed=BW&Date=20070124&I <http://news.moneycentral.msn.com/ticker/article.aspx?Feed=BW&Date=20070124&I> D= 6381498&Symbol=RHT About a year-and-a-half ago, there was an article where Greg DeKoenigsberg of Red Hat was quoted saying they were exploring the possibility of OVC membership. "Recently, Greg DeKoenigsberg, community relations manager of Red Hat, wrote 'our long-term mission is to further the democratization of code and content. Open voting systems are an obvious fit for our mission.' OVC and Red Hat are currently exploring a relationship, which is expected to be finalized soon." http://www.granitebayview.com/article/2005/11/386 I have been working hard to prepare. I just finished a 5,000 word question-and-answer dialog for Red Hat Magazine. They want me to be at a rehearsal the day before, and I've been invited to an executive dinner hosted by Red Hat CEO, Matthew Szulik. I have been working on the presentation. Besides the rehearsal, they want a copy of my presentation for the CD they will distribute to participants. Besides all the Red Hat preparations, I have been busy with legislative efforts. We met with Nancy Pelosi's district director on Tuesday. We've met with him four times over the last year or so, and we are making progress. The re-work of the Holt bill is supposed to be finished today. I know they took some of our suggestions, but we let Pelosi know they have a long way to go. We continue to work on getting our ordinance through the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, and we continue on getting support for AB 852. The state and county efforts look good. You have saved the day before, and I hope you can do it one more time. If you want to contribute, but want some other method, please contact me right away.

[opensuse] The list
by Stevens 04 May '07

When I said that all responders to my OT thread (you know which one) that posted to this list instead of me personally would be considered just plain stupid, I had no idea how many on this list who consider themselves "bright" were, in fact, just plain stupid. I have compiled a list of the humor-impaired dumbasses who can't seem to let it die. You know who you are. You need to take your panties off, straighten out the wad, put them back on and go about the business of opensuse and stop your incessant whining.

[opensuse] Suse 10.1 Suspend to Disk does not come back
by Bruce Samhaber 04 May '07

04 May '07

When I select suspend to disk the machine prints two lines of text then stops. It does not appear to be finished. There is nothing that will bring the machine back except to turn off the power then back on. The suspend to disk worked with Suse 9.3, so I am surprised that it does not work with 10.1. What can I do to fix it?

[opensuse] RE: ClamAV open suse 10.2 and possible SLES and previous versions of open suse
by Registration Account 04 May '07

04 May '07

Just finished testing and bug reported the following incident re clamAV. Despite the boxed version featuring "protection of viruses" this is NOT the case. The service real-time service clamd running it will NOT detect malicious code so if you get an email or file and send it on to anyone - it will NOT be identified to you. There is either an obvious issue with the service OR its intended functionality - However the word "Protection" abounds. The only way of detection is to run clamscan from console see clamscan --help for options. If you want to scan a few GIGs of Data - Take the day off while it completes - Its that slow. Also IF you rely on clamAV to detect malicious code via either HTTP or HTTPS file action from a possibly infected server of yours - it wont. - The requester may? You can verify this via virus test http://www.eicar.org/anti_virus_test_file.htm I have marked the bug as critical for obvious reasons. https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=270581 Perhaps someone else could verify if there is any detection provided by SAMBA on-line scanning and open yet another bug Cheers Scott - Votes would help bug if your concerned by this issue. :-\
