[opensuse] Active Directory Integration
by Kai Ponte 15 Aug '07

15 Aug '07

My division is moving towards Active Directory. We have a MS guy in-house right now working on migrating from our NT 4 PDC to a Win2k3 AD scheme for our 1500 or so workers. As some of you know, I have one laptop and one desktop here on opensuse. I asked him about AD integration and he wasn't sure what to do for *nix clients. >From my google searches, it seems I need a combination of SAMBA (which I run), PAM, Kerberos, and a few other acronyms. What are your experiences authenticating and obtaining resources in an AD world? Here's some of the links I found... http://reverendted.wordpress.com/2006/09/12/linux-goes-mad/ http://www.channelinsider.com/article/Moving+from+NT+to+Samba/135527_1.aspx http://www.informit.com/articles/printerfriendly.aspx?p=413095&rl=1 http://muyiwataiwo.com/main/book/print/39 http://www.novell.com/coolblogs/?p=954 http://en.opensuse.org/YaST_Kerberos_Client http://blog.scottlowe.org/2007/03/22/sled-integration-into-active-directory/ Ugh! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] OpenOffice.org BS project obsolete by OpenOffice.org:STABLE and OpenOffice.org:UNSTABLE
by Petr Mladek 15 Aug '07

15 Aug '07

Hello all, We have finally removed the older OpenOffice.org project in the Build Service. It has been obsoleted by the three new projects: OpenOffice.org:STABLE OpenOffice.org:UNSTABLE OpenOffice.org:EXTRAS OpenOffice.org:STABLE This project provides packages from the latest stable version of OpenOffice.org office suite. It is OOo-2.2.1 these days. OpenOffice.org:UNSTABLE This project should provide packages from the latest development build. It is currently built from the same sources as the 'OpenOffice_org' package in 'openSUSE:Factory'. OpenOffice.org:EXTRAS This project provides some extras for OpenOffice.org office suite, like dictionaries and templates. They should be usable with both the STABLE and the UNSTABLE OOo packages. I am looking for co-maintainers that could help me to keep the stuff up to date, improve it... ---------- The packages are currently available for the following products and architectures: SLED10-i386 10.0-i386 10.1-i386 10.2-i386 10.1-x86_64 10.2-x86_64 The installation repositories can be found at http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/OpenOffice.org:/STABLE/ http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/OpenOffice.org:/UNSTABLE/ http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/OpenOffice.org:/EXTRAS/ FAQ: Q: Where can I ask questions regarding OOo? A: I am sorry, even if I find more time for you, I can't answer everything. I would sort the questions into the following categories: + general questions about OOo (about a functionality) should be best answered by the OOo community on users(a)openoffice.org + bugs should be reported into bugzilla, see below + other questions about our plans, Novell features, ... should be send to this list. Please mention "OpenOffice.org or OOo somewhere in the Subject. I promise, I'll take more care of this list and answer OOo-related questions at least once or twice a week. If I don't, feel free to CC me ;-) Q: How to report bugs? A: Please, report bugs at https://bugzilla.novell.com for the product "OpenOffice.org 2.0". Please, do not forget to mention: + that the package is from the Build Service + system you are running, e.g. "openSUSE-10.2-x86_64" + desktop you are using, e.g. KDE, GNOME + OOo version from the last line of the dialog "Help/About OpenOffice.org", e.g. "Build 2.2.0.1" + that you are running 32-bit OOo on x86_64 system if this is the case + steps to reproduce + other useful details (e.g. screenshots, backtrace, strace) It will help us a lot and it will increase the chance that the bug will be fixed. -- Best Regards, Petr Mladek software developer --------------------------------------------------------------------- SUSE LINUX, s. r. o. e-mail: pmladek(a)suse.cz Lihovarská 1060/12 tel: +420 284 028 952 190 00 Prague 9 fax: +420 284 028 951 Czech Republic http://www.suse.cz/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] GCC on AMD64 architecture

I am chasing a difference between a library compiled on 64bit Ubuntu and 64bit Suse10.2. (basically it fails the tests on SuSE but is OK on Ubuntu) So far the only thing we have noticed is that on Suse the compiler is said to be prerelease gcc -v Using built-in specs.

[opensuse] Starting KDE4
by Stephen P. Molnar 15 Aug '07

15 Aug '07

I just used YAST2 to install KDE4. According to en.opensuse.org/KDE4 'The KDE4 package install into the /usr prefix hence KDE3 and KDE4 can be installed at the same time.' After the installation process was finished there were no /usr prefix subdirectories. The only KDE4 specific s/d's I can find are /usr/lib/kde4 and /usr/share/kde4. Although perhaps I have missed some. My question is how do I start KDE4? Happily, startx at the command prompt still starts KDE3.5 so I haven't hosed my desktop. Any assistance will be appreciated.

[opensuse] kernel upgrade on Suse10.2
by Constant Brouerius van Nidek 15 Aug '07

15 Aug '07

On my laptop, an older modell Thinkpad I have a freshly installed 10.2 Kernel 2.6.13-15.16-default. In order to use acpi and be able to suspend etc. etc. If I use acpi with this kernel I am not able to use my network card. With acpi=off the card works but sensors does not give any usefull info about temperatures and fan. I found out that I should upgrade to >2.6.20 to have things my way. My first try the instalation of 2.6.20 did noy work because some dependencies where not right or errors like that. Is there a place where I could get a Suse 10.2 kernel rpm which works out of the package. Where would I have to steer Smart in order to get such a feat done? Or shall I just wait for 10.3? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Network card driver - update needed.
by pelibali 15 Aug '07

15 Aug '07

Hi, We have an openSUSE 10.0 router, working with two 3com network cards. I don't know the exact name/type of the "problematic" 10Mbit one, but read previously on the 'net that this particular one can cause tons of problems. And it really does. I wonder, how to start to update its driver; any advice please what to do next, if I know the module name, which gets loaded for that network card? Compiling kernel module and/or new kernel is no problem, but of course I attempt to limit the efforts needed and time invested.

[opensuse] Fstab entry for 100Mb Iomega ZIP drives.
by pelibali 15 Aug '07

15 Aug '07

Hi, We have two comps around with Iomega ZIP drives and would would like to know, which self-made fstab entry is closer to the "truth". Of course the interface they are using is slightly different, but you could have some useful comments / corrections: SUSE 9.1 Pro; 100Mb Iomega ZIP drive [parallel] /dev/sda1 /media/zippo vfat noauto,user,exec,sync 0 0 SUSE 9.1 FTP-install; 100Mb Iomega ZIP drive [IDE interface] /dev/hdd4 /media/zippo subfs fs=vfat,procuid,nodev,nosuid,sync 0 0 e.g. the first one looks quite OK and works well; the second one works in fact, but KDE users first get a "Only root can mount" warning. fs=vfat looks strange anyway, I couldn't find a list with all available fs-types anywhere. Anyway in all the SUSE/Novel examples/howtos I know exclusively the floppy and/or CD drives are mentioned, for ZIPs the max. I could find was relating to the still unsolved extremely slow FAT-writing of open- SUSE 10.0.

[opensuse] Which version of Openoffice to install on 10.2?
by Michael Brian Bentley 14 Aug '07

14 Aug '07

Sorry about the repetition, I had to switch accounts and didn't see any responses crop up. On my Opensuse 10.2 machine, Opensuse suggests installing a certain version of OpenOffice. However, it appears that this version requires gcc 4.2.0 to build a necessary component, libstdc++. Is this correct? My problem is that Yast2 doesn't appear to recognize that version of gcc, so how can I install a working version of OpenOffice?
