[opensuse] Firefox and Java
by Richard Creighton 30 Jul '07

30 Jul '07

Earlier today I got a security update for java 1.4.2 (I think it was) and elected to install it. After installation, it happened that I got bit by the Openoffice.org writer freezes your system bug (which has an open bugzilla bug open) and I ended up having to reset my machine for the first time in months. After the reboot, I noticed that none of the web sites that use java scripts worked within Firefox 2.0 that had been working previous to the reset. At the top was a message to install a missing plugin - yeah, right. I've been here before. I went into Konqueror and guess what, the pages were all working properly which means that *something* has again diddled with the pointers to the java plugins that Firefox uses. For the life of me, I can't find out WHERE the link is stored and what it is supposed to be pointing to (now) in order to restore the function that has been working fine for many months. I even downloaded the Java 1.6 update rpm and installed it but they only tell how to install it for mozilla, not firefox. Any help would be appreciated.

[opensuse] dictionary attacks

Just about every day, often several times a day, my logs include hours of log entries that look like this: Jul 16 00:35:25 raid5 sshd[6966]: Invalid user admin from 83.18.244.42 Jul 16 00:35:30 raid5 sshd[6968]: Invalid user admin from 83.18.244.42 Jul 16 00:35:35 raid5 sshd[6972]: Invalid user admin from 83.18.244.42 Jul 16 00:35:40 raid5 sshd[6974]: Invalid user admin from 83.18.244.42 Jul 16 00:35:56 raid5 sshd[6981]: Invalid user test from 83.18.244.42 Jul 16 00:36:01 raid5 sshd[6983]: Invalid user test from 83.18.244.42 Jul 16 00:36:06 raid5 sshd[6985]: Invalid user webmaster from 83.18.244.42 Jul 16 00:36:11 raid5 sshd[6987]: Invalid user username from 83.18.244.42 Jul 16 00:36:16 raid5 sshd[6989]: Invalid user user from 83.18.244.42 Jul 16 00:36:26 raid5 sshd[6994]: Invalid user admin from 83.18.244.42 Jul 16 00:36:31 raid5 sshd[6996]: Invalid user test from 83.18.244.42 Jul 16 00:36:51 raid5 sshd[7017]: Invalid user danny from 83.18.244.42 Jul 16 00:36:56 raid5 sshd[7019]: Invalid user alex from 83.18.244.42 Jul 16 00:37:01 raid5 sshd[7022]: Invalid user brett from 83.18.244.42 Jul 16 00:37:06 raid5 sshd[7024]: Invalid user mike from 83.18.244.42 Jul 16 00:37:12 raid5 sshd[7027]: Invalid user alan from 83.18.244.42 Jul 16 00:37:18 raid5 sshd[7029]: Invalid user data from 83.18.244.42 Jul 16 00:37:22 raid5 sshd[7031]: Invalid user www-data from 83.18.244.42 Jul 16 00:37:28 raid5 sshd[7033]: Invalid user http from 83.18.244.42 Jul 16 00:37:33 raid5 sshd[7037]: Invalid user httpd from 83.18.244.42 Jul 16 00:37:38 raid5 sshd[7040]: Invalid user pop from 83.18.244.42 ..... and so on, ad nausium. Obviously, someone is trying to break in to my system via SSH. So far as I can tell from examining my logs and my systems (usually at least 4 other systems on my LAN are under simultaneous attacks from the same source(s), the daemon is successsfully withstanding the assault and the system is not compromised. My question is what, if any firewall rule could I write that could detect such attacks and automatically shut down forwarding packets from the offending node or domain? That would give me an additional layer of defense as well as freeing up a significant amount of log file space.

[opensuse] NetworkManager: DHCP transaction took too long (>45s), stopping it.
by Oscar Curero 30 Jul '07

30 Jul '07

Hi, I own a T60 Thinkpad with a Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG under Opensuse 10.2. The card is succesfully detected and works fine under WinXP. My network: ESSID: Hidden (flores) 802.11 mode: Mixed Channel: 06 2437MHz WEP Encryption: 128 bit WEP Key1: Key2: Key3: Key4: 121212317???? When connecting to this AP from camelia (the client), the dhcp daemon fails because there's no response. If I disable the WEP security in the AP config, I can connect without problems. I don't know if the problem is in the dhcp part or in the security part (i'm using the kde frontend, if that matters).

[opensuse] k3b cue bin files
by primm 30 Jul '07

30 Jul '07

I have a .cue file and a large .bin file of 806Mb How do I burn this onto a blank DVD using K3b? BTW the combination plays fine in vlc. I just want it playable on my home video machine. Things I've tried: I've tried new video dvd project dropping the cue file into the VIDEO_TS folder but I get the error 'not all fules available to burn' owtte. I've tried as a data dvd burning the cue and bin directly but it won't play in my domestic player. I've tried bchunk but get two iso files both les than 8Mb so something is wrong there too. Endless google. Any ideas? cheers. steve. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Request for creating ntfs-config package.
by Krupanský Rastislav 30 Jul '07

30 Jul '07

Hello. I don´t know who and how creates packages for http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/filesystems/ repo. And i don´t have any experience with creating of packages, so i´d like to ask for favour, whether someone would be able to created a package ntfs-config (from http://flomertens.free.fr/ntfs-config/).Of course, if it is possible. I think it is very good tool for ntfs-3g driver. Thanks. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

I thought that the substantial problem was why some of us have the Novel line cut off, and remains cutoff as it is resized. Only tried on Seamonkey so far ==John ffitch -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Networking problems
by Willem Grooters 30 Jul '07

30 Jul '07

SUSE 10.1, 10.2, fresh install, on Compaq EVO 600 (laptop). In my network, I have a DHCP server that supplies all non-server systems (Windows XP, Linux) with IP information: IP address, DNS servers, default gateway, Internet domain etc). The client will supply the nodename. No problem for the XP machines, but SUSE seems to have a problem. NOTHING is returned as it seems, the IP address of the NIC is an address as if it was a non-connected Windows machine, NO DNS servers, NO default gateway and No domain information - these are all zeroed/blanked. NO error message. It's NOT the network itself, because if the NIC is confugured by hand (static data) everthing works as intended, but I consider thsi inappropiate. I looked in the mailing list and documentation but could not find an anser on the issue. How do I force this machine to act (in this matter) as a Windows box?
