RE: [opensuse] setting up PTR DNS records in Suse

Using Suse 10.0 Yast and all I see in the DNS Server menu is; Start-up, Forwarders, Logging, & DNS Zones. Under Forwarders you can add IP addresses manually and not much else. Where can I add these PTR records/Reverse Lookup Records, either through Yast or with 'vi', my preferred terminal editor for making quick changes.

[opensuse] loading custom kernel modules
by Matthew Stringer 30 May '07

30 May '07

I'm sure this is a daft n00b question but I've not found the answer via Google so I thought I'd try you guys. I've a server with a Areca RAID card running 10.2 Now there isn't a default driver for this so I have to compile either a custom kernel or module. For ease I'd rather compile the stand alone module and just load it in as it'll make updating the kernel easier. So I go into the driver source directory and run the following command: make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build CONFIG_SCSI_ARCMSR=m SUBDIRS=$PWD modules modules_install Which builds the correct module and installs it to: /lib/modules/<CURRENTKERNEL>/extra/arcmsr.ko Now I can use insmod /lib/modules/2.6.18.8-0.3-default/extra/arcmsr.ko to load it and it works fine. However unlike the rest of the modules in the kernel it's not pathed so I can't add it to /etc/modprobe.conf.local as it doesn't like absolute paths in there. This means I can't auto mount the logical drive on this card via /etc/fstab. I can get around it by using a startup script that loads the module and then mounts it but as it's not 'the proper way' of doing things it's bugging me. If I create a whole new custom kernel then it's fine but I don't want to have to build all that every time a new one comes out when I could just compile a single module in a second. Any help would be appreciated. Regard Matthew -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Urge creation of a standard documented way to share a directory [WAS Re: Wanna umask inhereted from parent directory]
by Greg Freemyer 30 May '07

30 May '07

Top Posting intentionally because much of the context was lost in the back and forth: The request is for a shared directory that multiple users can put docs in and they are automatically given r/w access to the users, but only those users. This seems like a common need that we as a community should write-up a standard solution for. I'm willing to help, but I have not yet used the wiki, so I don't know where to put it. Also, I would like to get some consensus on the recommended Suse methodology for having a shared dir. FYI: I took the Redhat admins bootcamp a few years ago and they document a process similar to what the OP described, but it depends on a umask of 022, whereas opensuse is defaulting to 002, so this really is opensuse issue, not totally a generic linux issue. Joachim has posted what appears to be a good starting point of a wiki entry that does not require a dangerous universal umask change. Do people agree that using ACLs is the best approach.

[opensuse] Help about help
by Pueblo Native 30 May '07

30 May '07

I'm trying to put together an article not so much to help the user directly with OpenOffice, but training them as to how to find the answers themselves in a methodical way (From looking through the help screens to searching the site to searching the archives before finally asking a mailing list.). Has this been done before? If somebody is interested, I'd be happy to share what I've put together so far. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] IMAP filters not working in latest kmail
by Mike Coan 30 May '07

30 May '07

I am running the 64bit version of openSUSE 10.2. I use kmail, set up as an IMAP client, for reading mail. I just updated to the latest version of kdepim3 from http://software.opensuse.org/download/KDE:/KDE3/openSUSE_10.2/x86_64/ This gives me kontact version 1.2.5, which includes version 1.9.7 of kmail. It also says it is KDE release 3.5.7 "release 10.1" Not sure what release 10.1 means as I am using 10.2. After this upgrade all new messages remain in the inbox. This occasionally happened before, but was easily solved as I could highlight all the messages and then press Ctl-J and all the messages would be filtered into the proper folders. Or else I could restart kontact and the messages would get filtered. Neither of those solutions works. If I highlight all the messages and press Ctl-J, then it moves one message and stops. Thus I can filter all the messages by pressing Ctl-J for each message; not really a solution. I posted a bug report on the kde bugzilla. There was a response that I should update again as that bug has been fixed. Unfortunately I do have the latest version of kdepim3 ( 3.5.7-7.1-x86_64.rpm) I can find, and it is dated may 18, 2007. My kmail filters move the messages from one IMAP folder to another IMAP folder. Anyone else having this problem or know of a solution? Mike -- Michael A.

[opensuse] How to limit/eliminate CPU/FAN Noise?
by Gaël Lams 30 May '07

30 May '07

Hi, I install SLED 10 on an HP workstation xw4400. Everything is working perfectly except for the noise: compared to the same workstation with Windows XP installed, which is pretty silent, the linux box makes quite a lot of noise. I've googled a little bit but did not find any extensive response. Is there something on SLED (or opensuse, or even from source code to compile) that I can install and configure to have the system automatically slowing down or up the fan?

[opensuse] suse 10.2 64 bit booting problem
by Jose 30 May '07

30 May '07

Hi List, I decided to install a second instance on my already 10.2 32 bits machine, using the boot loader from the 32 bits version, I added up a fourth option (third is Centos on another partition) for the 64 bits version (as I have a intel 2 dual core chip on this machine), the setup was using chainloader, pointing to the /dev/sda2 partition where I loaded the 64B version, with options "do not check system" and "activate partiton when booting" like I have with my Centos instance. and some other distros I used to have on my IDE drive. Problem is that after installation goes back to the 32bits version grub, I choose to startup the 64 version and immediately after pressing Enter, goes back to grub and does not starts or send any kind of error messages, if I get the 10.2-64 I choose to startup OS, it does boots up. I wonder if it's because this partition is allocated on a sata slave drive, all of the others were/are sitting on the primary master IDE and they work fine, this is the first time I use the sata /dev/sda2 to install a distro. Any advice would be welcome Thanks Jose -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
