[opensuse] HOWTO Documents for openSUSE aka HOWTOFORGE
by Hylton Conacher (ZR1HPC) 15 Jul '07

15 Jul '07

Hi, I am a subscriber of http://www.howtoforge.com/ and receive a regular newsletter with articles on how to accomplish certain tasks on a Linux system ie 'Installing Zabbix (Server And Agent) On Debian Etch'. What I have not seen is any articles on doing things on a SUSE/openSUSE system and I wonder why? Whilst I am sure te documents are available on the web, I do not know where and wonder if Novell is keeping those sort of documents locked up :) Anyone? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Hi, I'm looking for a command line tool that'll (preferably batch) convert audio files in the shorten format (.shn) into MP3 format. Anyone know of such a thing?

[opensuse] Can't get the OpenSuse 10.2 64 disc to run
by John Meyer 15 Jul '07

15 Jul '07

I have an AMD 64 Athelon which can run the 32 bit version of OpenSuse perfectly, but when I boot up from the 64 disc and select install, the screen goes black and stays there. Am I missing something? Or does AMD 64 not mean that it's a 64 bit processor? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Apache SSL not working after adding IP and port to listen.conf
by James D. Parra 14 Jul '07

14 Jul '07

Hello, I added a new ssl vhosts entry, using a template from a working ssl vhost and modified it appropriately or so I thought since the other ssl vhosts that are on the system are working correctly, however when I reload rcapache2 I get the following error; >From .../apache2/error_log; [error] (EAI 2)Name or service not known: Cannot resolve host name 10.50.40.258 --- ignoring! ~~~~ When I add the IP to listen.conf and attempt to reload, apache fails to load with the following error: <snip> rcapache2 reload; ... [crit] (EAI 2)Name or service not known: alloc_listener: failed to set up sockaddr for 10.50.40.258 Syntax error on line 25 of /etc/apache2/listen.conf: Listen setup failed The command line was: /usr/sbin/httpd2-prefork -f /etc/apache2/httpd.conf -DSSL unused <snip> This is a portion of listen.conf. <snip> Listen 80 <IfDefine SSL> <IfDefine !NOSSL> <IfModule mod_ssl.c> #Listen 443 Listen 10.50.40.258:443 <------Line 25 looks okay to me Listen 10.50.40.252:443 Listen 10.50.40.254:443 </IfModule> </IfDefine> </IfDefine> <snip> ~~~~~~ When I remove or comment out line 25, apache starts. Any ideas what is going wrong? I have two ssl sites that work fine on the same box. Many thanks in advance. ~James -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] speaking of cloning....
by James Tremblay 14 Jul '07

14 Jul '07

How does on build an image for and what tools does one need to clone a master image to a lab? If the simple copying of an image leaves you with an unbootable system and even a tool like ACRONIS leaves you with tasks what then does one do? Is there a set of commands like "sysprep" for creating a master? Is there a guide? -- James Tremblay Director of Technology Newmarket School District Newmarket,NH http://en.opensuse.org/Education "let's make a difference" -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Dial on Demand on opensuse10.2 and sonyericson k-608i
by Patrik Hasibuan 14 Jul '07

14 Jul '07

Dear my friends... I build my SOHO facility with opensuse10.2. The internet gateway has sonyericson k-608i as its modem. I use BIND as the DNS server. And squid as the proxy server. ip-masquarading from SuSEfirewall. All of them are in the same linux-box. Everything runs properly if the internet gateway use 'manual dialup'. Everybody can use internet from their workstations. patrikh@suseonthelap:/media/puppy/root-partisi-suse/home/ilham> nslookup > server Default server: 192.168.23.200 Address: 192.168.23.200#53 > But the problem is I can not use DialonDemand. I configured the modem with YaST2 and checked the 3 option (Dial on Demand, Modify DNS when connected and Automaticall Retrieve DNS). I also checked the External Firewall Interface. I filled the DNS server number: 202.146.255.3 and 202.146.255.5: patrikh@mysuse1:~> nslookup > server Default server: 202.146.255.3 Address: 202.146.255.3#53 Default server: 202.146.255.5 Address: 202.146.255.5#53 Default server: 192.168.23.200 Address: 192.168.23.200#53 If I do DoD, the clients can not connect to the internet. Is it because of sonyericsson driver for k608i as what happened 4 years ago on Fritzcard ISDN modem version 2.0? Please tell me where is my mistake. Thank you very much in advance. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Scrollwheel kind of working
by Jan Karjalainen 14 Jul '07

14 Jul '07

My scrollwheel doesn't work properly, my xorg.conf looks like this: Section "InputDevice" Driver "mouse" Identifier "Mouse[1]" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "Name" "ExplorerPS/2 on USB" Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2" Option "Vendor" "USB-Mouse" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection Clicking the wheel (mouse button 3) works, it brings up the smooth scroll function in Firefox, but scrolling the wheel only runs Firefox through the browsing history... Is there a setting I've missed? It's a Logitech G5 Laser Mouse, by the way..... /J -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] RE: [opensuse-amd64] Apache SSL not working after adding IP and p ort to listen.conf
by James D. Parra 13 Jul '07

13 Jul '07

There is no way for an IP address to be 258 you can't use anything higher than 255 and that is reserved for broadcasting. You might want to recheck your address. Each octect has a range from 0-255. Hope that is of help. SrA Dominick A. Obermeyer Okinawa, Japan ~~~ I feel so embarrassed. You're right that is the wrong address. Thank you for pointing out the obvious. I could make excuses, but what's the point. Thank you for your illuminating response.

[opensuse] Implementation of Private & Secure Mail Server & Mailing Lists' Manager
by Alex Daniloff 13 Jul '07

13 Jul '07

Hello SuSE folkz, I'm trying to find a practical solution to setup private and secure Mail Server & Mailing Lists' Manager with the following characteristics: 1. Mail Server shall generate separate and unique public encryption key for the each Mailing List it handles. 2. Mail Server shall distribute Mailing List relevant public encryption key and newly generated unique private encryption key to the each new subscriber. As an option the subscriber shall be able to upload its own generated private encryption key to the Mail Server. 3. Mail Server shall store private encryption key associated with the each subscriber in SQL database along with subscribers' email address and subscription information. 4. When the Mail Server receives a message encrypted with subscriber's private key, it decrypts it using existing subscriber's private key stored in SQL database. Then the Mail Server encrypts this message with the Mailing List public encryption key and distributes it to all other Mailing List subscribers. 5. If the subscriber has a mail account on the Mail Server, the subscriber shall be able to retrieve its mail using ether POP3S or IMAPS protocols. Could you please point me out if there any Mailing List Manager software which could handle these tasks. Thank you in advance, Alex -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
