[opensuse] Advanced postfix question: IP and reverse DNS
by Johannes Nohl 20 Jan '08

20 Jan '08

Dear list, maybe someone here's a postfix guru. I have a problem which I don't know if it's solvable at all. I have a machine running as mail server for several domains. Each domain has its own IP. For each IP I can set up a reverse DNS entry. How can I configure postfix to send e-mail using different IPs depending on sender domain? Thanks. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Where to define environment variables for Gnome?
by Frank Hrebabetzky 20 Jan '08

20 Jan '08

Was: "LANG wrong on Gnome" I didn't get any response, so I try it again with another headline: After installation of Suse 10.3 everything worked well, but from one day on I have been getting frequently the following error message: Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library. Using the fallback 'C' locale Then I got aware that echo $LANG executed on a virtual terminal on my Gnome desktop results in C So I tried: - yast-sysconfig-System-Environment-Language: RC_LANG=en_US.UTF-8 (leaving all other RC_... empty) - ~/.profile: export LANG=en_US.UTF-8 - /etc/profile.local: export LANG=en_US.UTF-8 but nothing helped. When logging in at a text console (ctrl-alt-F1), then LANG has the expected value (en_US.UTF-8). How can I track down the problem? -- Frank Hrebabetzky +55 / 48 / 3235 1106 Florianopolis, Brazil -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Phenom and opensuse
by Yoriaki FUJIMORI 20 Jan '08

20 Jan '08

Dear listers, Recently I got a black edition of Phenom 9600 with DFI's UT790FX-M2R. BIOS is Jan 3, beta. I tested several operating systems on it. (1) Fedora C. 8 Install went on rather smoothly, but the login window seemed to be messy. A lot of non fatal errors. So, I stopped here. (2) FreeBDS 7.0/6.3 The installer could boot if acpi is disabled. I did not go any further. (3) OpenSUSE 10.2 No problem. But, the benchmark showed the half speed of the CPU. On the window executing top, the cpu load level of all 4 cores showed 50%. So, the recent kernel 2.6.18 does not know Phenom. (4) OpenSUSE 10.3 I had got a lot of trouble in installing this. In the middle of installation, the system hanged many times. It took more thatn half day to complete the installation of minimal graphical system. Enven after installation, I had to reset PC many times until the text login propmt comes out. Another trouble is it takes a very long time to shutdown the system. Once it starts, things go well without X. Over clocking makes matter worse. Troubles of Phenom with linux are reported somewhere in the net. So, I plan to test opensuse 11.0 Alpha1, because it comes with newer kernel. But, it would be nice, if someone who tried it on 790(F)X sends quick report to the list. Thank you for your attention. yoriaki fujimori -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] KDM login window not going into power save mode
by Carlos F. Lange 20 Jan '08

20 Jan '08

I have a few 10.3 installations, but on only one of the machines, which has an NVidia GeForce 7300 LE, the KDM login window never goes black or to stand-by/power save mode. Since this is outside of the KDE environment, I don't know how to control it. I thought it had something to do with acpi and I checked that acpid is running and /var/log/acpi has no errors. Where should I check to repair this behaviour? -- Carlos FL "It is not worth an intelligent man's time to be in the majority. By definition, there are already enough people to do that." - G. H.

[opensuse] Browser behavior
by Stan Goodman 20 Jan '08

20 Jan '08

In other OSes here, When Firefox is unable to find the URL entered in the navigation field, it says so (Error 404). And it is possible to enter into the the field a URL less top domain, e.g. "cnn", without "com" (at least for the "com" case, if not others, and FF would make the guess. That is not what happens in the browsers on my openSUSE v10.3. I have been trying to understand what actually does happen -- in both Firefox and Konqueror. Entering a defective URL in either browser brings the home page of my own web page, and I am unable to find why or how browsers do this. My Firefox home page is a blank page, not my website; I have cleared Browsing History and Cache, the only places I can think of where that URL is known to Firefox (which shouldn't matter anyway to Konqueror). The same thing happens if I enter into the Alt-F2 field a program name not known ti the system: Konqueror obliges with my website. Where have I neglected to remove the offending URL? I am assuming that straightening this out will also enable browsers to find "com" by themselves. -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] kdesu problem
by Dave Plater 20 Jan '08

20 Jan '08

Hi, I decided to update my kde yesterday unfortunately. First I had the problem of a parse error in sudoers, then after fixing that kdesu says the root password is wrong. I used kdebase3-3.5.8-38.i586 from the presently unavailable factory repo and attempts at downgrading produce a web of removals in yast. Can anybody give me a clue as to where the broken link between kdesu and su is? Su works perfectly and I can start things from konsole using su.

[opensuse] A useful and fun .bashrc welcome screen
by David C. Rankin 20 Jan '08

20 Jan '08

Listmates, After finding some interesting information in the .bashrc tips at http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/tools/17142.html, I adapted the welcome screen idea to capture useful system information on login. I have to admit, the colors made it pretty cool. (I'm easily amused tonight) I pulled the useful information and created a separate welcome script that can be called as one of your last lines in .bashrc. The .bashrc call is tested against the terminal type and skipped if a 'dump' terminal type is used such as in the case of scp. It was a fun exercise that provided a bit of learning. For what it's worth, here is the call from .bashrc: test "dumb" != $TERM && /home/david/linux/scripts/welcome And, here is the welcome screen script: #!/bin/bash # # Define the colors # black='\e[0;30m' blue='\e[0;34m' green='\e[0;32m' cyan='\e[0;36m' red='\e[0;31m' purple='\e[0;35m' brown='\e[0;33m' lightgray='\e[0;37m' darkgray='\e[1;30m' lightblue='\e[1;34m' lightgreen='\e[1;32m' lightcyan='\e[1;36m' lightred='\e[1;31m' lightpurple='\e[1;35m' yellow='\e[1;33m' white='\e[1;37m' nc='\e[0m' # # Get ifconfig information # netinfo () { echo "-------------------------- Network Information --------------------------" /sbin/ifconfig | awk /'inet addr/ {print $2}' /sbin/ifconfig | awk /'Bcast/ {print $3}' /sbin/ifconfig | awk /'inet addr/ {print $4}' /sbin/ifconfig | awk /'HWaddr/ {print $4,$5}' } # # Define a few functions # # Get the mounted drives and free space # mounted () { echo "---------------------------- Mounted Drives -----------------------------" df -h } # # Check free memory # meminfo () { echo "-------------------------- Memory Information ---------------------------" free -tm } # # Look at uptime # upinfo () { echo "------------------------------- Uptime ----------------------------------" echo "" echo -ne "${lightblue}Uptime for:${green} $HOSTNAME ${lightblue}is ${cyan}";uptime | awk /'up/ {print $3,$4,$5,$6,$7,$8,$9,$10}' } # # Show the Welcome Screen # clear echo -e "${red}+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++${white} W E L C O M E ${red}++++++++++++++++++++++++++++${nc}"; echo "" echo -e "${lightblue}Host: \t\t\t ${cyan}$HOSTNAME" echo -ne "${lightblue}Operating System: \t${cyan}" `cat /etc/SuSE-release`; echo "" echo -e "${lightblue}Kernel Information: \t${cyan}" `uname -smr` echo -ne "${lightblue}Hello ${lightred}$USER ${lightblue}today is: \t${cyan}" `date`; echo ""; echo "" echo -e "${white}"; cal -3 echo -ne "${cyan}";netinfo; echo "" echo -ne "${green}";mounted; echo "" echo -ne "${red}";meminfo; echo "" echo -ne "${cyan}";upinfo; echo "" echo -e "${red}+++++++++++++++++++++++++${white} www.rankinlawfirm.com ${red}+++++++++++++++++++++++++${nc}\n" The screen output will look like this: +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ W E L C O M E ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Host: rankin-p35a Operating System: openSUSE 10.3 (i586) VERSION = 10.3 Kernel Information: Linux 2.6.22.13-0.3-default i686 Hello david today is: Sun Jan 20 00:14:52 CST 2008 December 2007 January 2008 February 2008 Su Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa Su Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa Su Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa 1 1 2 3 4 5 1 2 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 27 28 29 30 31 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 -------------------------- Network Information -------------------------- addr:192.168.6.101 addr:127.0.0.1 Bcast:192.168.6.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 HWaddr 00:11:F5:15:2D:83 HWaddr 00:02:3F:DC:E3:3C HWaddr 00-11-F5-15-2D-83-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00 ---------------------------- Mounted Drives ----------------------------- Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda6 15G 7.5G 6.6G 54% / udev 506M 88K 506M 1% /dev /dev/sda7 51G 2.9G 45G 6% /home /dev/sda1 43G 23G 20G 54% /windows/C //nemesis/samba 233G 31G 203G 14% /mnt/nemesis //nemesis/david 233G 31G 203G 14% /mnt/nemesis-david //nemesis/config 233G 31G 203G 14% /mnt/nemesis-cfg //kidsdell/config 17G 5.6G 9.8G 37% /mnt/kids-cfg -------------------------- Memory Information --------------------------- total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 1011 992 18 0 104 426 -/+ buffers/cache: 461 549 Swap: 2055 0 2055 Total: 3066 992 2073 ------------------------------- Uptime ---------------------------------- Uptime for: rankin-p35a is 13:57, 4 users, load average: 0.08, 0.11, 0.14 +++++++++++++++++++++++++ www.rankinlawfirm.com +++++++++++++++++++++++++ I'm sure there are better ways to do all of this, but it filled the idle time watching the kids.
