[opensuse] VOIP and QoS
by Aschwin Marsman 28 Jun '07

28 Jun '07

Hi, I would like to have Quality of Service for my internet traffic: VOIP should be given priority, then http, then smtp and finally bittorent (to download openSUSE iso images). I will need something like traffic shaping, iproute2, CBQ, ... but didn't figure out yet how to do it. How can this be accomplished best using openSUSE 10.2? Best regards, Aschwin Marsman -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Thinkpad-Z61p openSuSE thinkpad-keys problem
by Frank Fiene 28 Jun '07

28 Jun '07

Hi. I've problem regarding hotekeys. I've reinstalled my machine with 32bit-Version of openSuSE-10.2 (some issues with 64bit, like moneyplex, browser-plugins etc.) and now are my hotkeys not working. Only volume down works, volume up and mute doesn't work. Evereything was fine with 64bit version. I've checked the config files of hokeys in both versions, they are the same as i see. Where can i have a look? Regards Frank -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Re: [opensuse] fileserver box to box swap

It was a lot easier than I thought. The time consuming bit is the several hours of rsync it takes. I'm sure there must be a simpler and more elegant way. Anyway here is a step by step: Server box for box swap This server installation involves three computers on a 192.168.1.0/24 network. sbs3: the existing SuSE 9.3 nfs server exporting /home to 19 clients. This box is also a nis server for the domain sbsnet2. There are around 200 users. sbs29: an old amd duron with 256Mb and 68Gb virgin disk sbs37; a box on the lan which holds a backup copy of the /home folder without the dot files under /data2/home 1.Install text only 10.2 on sbs29. Add yast2-nfs-server, yast2-nis-server and ypserv. I did 10, 48 and 8GB partitions for /, /home and /var respectively. Setup your network card as 192.168.1.29, sbs29. 2.On sbs3, copy /etc/group, /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow to the account of a nis user. 3.rsync /home on sbs37 one last time before the swap 4.install yast2-nfs-server on sbs37 5.Use yast-nfs-server to export /data2/home from sbs37 to sbs29 6.on sbs29 mount /data2/home under /mnt (mount -t nfs 192.168.1.37:/data2/home /mnt) 7.on sbs29 copy /etc/group, etc/passwd and /etc/shadow from the user account (now under /mnt) to /etc on sbs29 8.on sbs29, rsync -auzv /mnt/* /home 9.on sbs29 use yast nfs server to export /home rw read-write to * 10.turn off all clients 11.pull the network cable on sbs3 12.use yast network devices> network card to reassign sbs29 to sbs3 13.on ex-sbs29, now the new sbs3, fire up yast2 nis server >configure master server> domain sbsnet2 14.on ex-sbs29, now the new sbs3, rcnetwork restart, rcnfsserver restart, rcypserv restart 15.fire up a client The first time you login it takes a while, especially if you use kdm to go into kde. I think this was due to there not being any dot files available. The next time you log in it's fine. I'm now in the process of rsyncing all the dot files over to the new server as well. After a year of heavy academic use and abuse, the hidden files account for around 70% of /home. Something I must look into. Also, at peak times the old amd just doesn't cope, especially at the start of lessons when everyone is logging in and loading files and a the end when saving and logging off. Any comments gratefully received. There must be a better way.

[opensuse] HELP mysterious X server crash
by Matthias Titeux 28 Jun '07

28 Jun '07

Nobody has a clue on this ? Hi, I experience very odd X crash these days. We have 3 opensuse boxes here at work. One is Opensuse 10.0 32 bits, another is Opensuse 10.1 64 bits and the third is Opensuse 10.2 32 bits. The 2 first boxes crash regularly since yesterday. It seems to be related to the network: X serverb crash at the same time on the two boxes. The other is unaffected. When I unplugged the network of one box, it does not crash anymore, while the other do. It is not related to the proprietary driver (nvidia on both, however not the same release since one card is too old and must use legacy driver), since the use of the opensource driver (nv) does not fix the problem. One major differences between the two first box and the one which do not crash is it uses Xgl as X server, while the two other uses Xorg 6.8 and 6.9. When it crash, the X server is killed and restarts automatically. Is anyone has any ideas ? I join parts of two log files : I masked my IP. Here is a part of the warn log: Jun 26 08:23:54 Ararat nmbd[4985]: ***** Jun 26 08:23:54 Ararat nmbd[4985]: Jun 26 08:23:54 Ararat nmbd[4985]: Samba name server ARARAT is now a local master browser

[opensuse] 10.2 filesystem/install issue/problem/curiosity..
by Kevin Papineau 28 Jun '07

28 Jun '07

I'll start with some background information: I run a server using SuSE 9.2 and everything was great. I swapped out my server for one of my other machines and installed new hard drives. WIth this newer server, I downloaded the ISOs for openSuSE 10.2, burned them to CD and installed the new system. Now I am eying my old server in the corner wishing I had never switched. The "newer" system is an ASUS MoBo with an AMD Athlon 2500+ CPU and 576 MB of RAM (512+64) It used to run Windows XP but I built a new computer for that. The only thing I changed in this system were the hard drives. The entire install seemed to go smoothly. Everything looked very pretty when I booted for the first time and went through all my server settings for web and mail (such as I have them, which is not saying much). The problems: Some programs have no fonts.. Gimp Evolution Epiphany many others.. Some programs crash on load, KTorrent primarily, but also the "Login Window" manager when loaded directly from the KDE start menu, though it is fine when accessed through "Personal Settings > System Administration". And my LAN doesn't work at all. I compared all my configuration files between this setup and the old one (SuSE 9.2), used YAST for some of the automagic configurations where available, still no go. Desperate to try to find the error, I did a via internet full system update replacing and/or reinstalling pretty much everything. Let me reinterate that this was a clean install on new hard drives, with downloaded ISOs which checked out as good. Any ideas as to what went wrong? How I can fix it without wiping everything and starting over? The primary server functions that I use (web and mail) work and so I am reluctant to wiping the drives to reinstall. On another note, I used the internet install to upgrade my laptop from 9.2 to 10.2 and there are no issues there. All the programs load and run correctly. Any suggestions, other than "wipe and reinstall" would be appreciated. Surely, I can't be the first/only person to have had this hiccup. Thanks in advance.
