[opensuse] Device Permissions
by Peter Bloomfield 03 May '07

03 May '07

I have been looking through the archives to fix a device permission issue I have. I was sure (though my memory, or lack of it, is a problem) that there was a link for it, but I can't find it; many discussing the problem, but none provide the solution I am after. The problem is as follows, I have SuSE 10.2 and I have a usb-serial adaptor. When it is attached to the system the permissions to /dev/ttyUSB0 are 660, so good for root, but not for the normal user. I can change the permissions to 666, or change the ownership, but will have to do it every time the adaptor is connected to the system, but not ideal. Issuing the command lsusb, shows the device as there, lsusb Bus 002 Device 005: ID 067b:2303 Prolific Technology, Inc. PL2303 Serial Port Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Is there a file somewhere that can be modified so that the default permissions for /dev/ttyUSB0 are 666 when the adaptor is connected. I apologise for re-posting and if anyone can point me to the correct link it will be appreciated Cheers Peter -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] installation of Suse10.2 on a laptop Acer Ferrari
by Michel Maria-Sube 03 May '07

03 May '07

Hello, I've recently installed a downloaded version of Suse10.2 on a laptop Acer serie "Ferrari 4000" (4005WLMi); hardware configuration and results are as follows: - The hardware is provided with an AMD Thurion 64 mobile tech on an 86x64 architecture - there is 2Go RAM - graphical card is an ATI mobility radeon x700: it is correctly detected and configurated and works perfectly except that I haven't yet tested 3D acceleration - IEEE1394 card is correctly configurated but not yet tested - USB controller is correctly detected and works very well - PCMCIA and modem are correctly detected but not yet tested - sound card is correctly detected and works nicely Problems concerns essentially wireless network and especially Bluetooth; once all packages have ben installed, I found no mean to create a connection with my wirelessmouse neither with an other device such a smartphone; nevertheless, there is no particular error in the syslog: /var/log/messages and the bluetooth adaptator is correcly detected; when I'm doing service bluetooth restart, I have no error printed on the screen. It appears that the hardware for this functionnality comes from Broadcam (it is a BCM2035 controller) but curiously it doesn't present on the product list of this provider (there is BCM2037 but no BCM2035) Second question concerns how to establish a wireless connection with a router: here again, hardware comes from Broadcom (BCM4318 AirForceOne) and this manufacturer provides no driver for other OS than Windows, so m'I obliged to proceed through ndiswrapper or is there any specific 'Braodcom' solution?? Any suggestion? Thank you in advance Best regards Michel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] KDE OR X HANGS
by Siegfried Wolkenstein 03 May '07

03 May '07

Hello, sometimes kde or x just hangs.... I can not even kill any kde programme after it happens. I am able to kill X by doing a "ctrl-alt-backspace", but after that, X doesn't restart - even if I change the runlevel from 5 to 3 and then to 5 again. After reinitialising runlevel 5, X simply won't start... If I try to restart the machine it hangs while trying to kill any programme started in the X-Shells... Also I can no more start any programme from within an X-Shell (xterm for instance). The TTY still works properly... But as I said killing the programmes that got stuck won't work, no matter where I apply the kill command. After all the proceedings kopete, kicker, amarok and all the X programmes still run (at least their processnumber gets listed on ps -a or top... But they don't actually do anything (they don't act or react anymore)). What can I do? For now I will just update every rpm-package I installed. Maybe that helps... Any other suggestions? Help is very much appreciated! PS: I am not able to provide you with any debug output, since I haven't seen anything suspicious. I will try to check out more on the next failure -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

When we set up the new German CTAN (that's the Comprehensive TeX Archive Network, the main distribution point for TeX-related software) host two years ago, proftpd had better support in bandwidth throttling, user exemption, IP-based virtual host configuration, and a few other small things that I don't remember right now. :-) I haven't followed vsftpd development enough to tell if that has changed by now. That said, I don't think that proftpd is needed for your run-of-the-mill ftp server. CTAN is a demanding ftp service -- alone the German CTAN node pushes 3TB every month, and the other main nodes have similar traffic. We don't even know which traffic our 120+ mirror nodes encounter, and expect our traffic to raise even further in the next months and years to come. And, proftpd's documentation is non-existant for all practical purposes. It's UTSL software and that's a real PIA sometimes.

[opensuse] Firewall with a dynadns router behind it
by Michael S. Dunsavage 03 May '07

03 May '07

I want to get a router that supports dynadns but I want set up a computer with a firewall using iptables to be my firewall to the internet modem. So now in the router options it says to put the internet IP address the modem has..... Okay so the lay out CABLE MODEM -- FIREWALL using IP tables ---- Router --- workstations Now if I use the firewall pc as a DHCP, that would not give the Router an internet IP, right? It would be a local IP. So....could I refverse it and put the IP tables behind the router and use the router as a dhcp and make the firewall static? i.e: CABLE MODEM -- Router -- FIREWALL using IP tables -- switch -- workstations Keep in mind this is a wireless router w/ 4 LAN ports as well... So in the 2nd scenario I wouldn't need a wireless router I could get a wirless switch, right? Actually, I guess in the 2nd scenario I wouldn't even need the router? Another question is, in first scenario, would the firewall PC get connected to the Router's internet port (is that uplink?) or into one of the regular ports. In the 2nd, would the firewall pc go into the switch uplink or a switch port? -- Michael S.

[opensuse] Anyone had any success with openVZ on openSUSE ?
by Alexey Eremenko 03 May '07

03 May '07

hi all ! Anyone had any success with openVZ on openSUSE ? I ask, because I'm tinkering around for several days, still trying to get the basics working and have poor results so far. I have asked on their forums, but unfortunately openvz is tied *very closely* to RedHat/Fedora, with absolutely no openSUSE people around, so I would like to revive that thing for openSUSE. link: http://forum.openvz.org/index.php?t=tree&goto=12562&#msg_12562 -- -Alexey Eremenko "Technologov" -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
