[opensuse] TeraStation with SUSE
by HG 04 Jan '08

04 Jan '08

Hi! I would like to get a TeraStation to use in a situation where I only have SUSE computers as clients. The problem is that according to Buffalo web-site as well as all Google results so far, I would need windows to setup the TeraStation. :-( Apparently after it has been setup, it can probably be administered through web-interface and therefore used with SUSE clients. Has anybody here used TeraStation? Does anybody know if it can be setup without windows? -- HG. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] package management woes
by Wolfgang Rosenauer 04 Jan '08

04 Jan '08

Hi, even if the package management on openSUSE 10.3 is faster it still showed its issues during the last days to me :-( Please note that installing a Linux workstation worked fine for me but what I wanted to do is ". So it should only contain what's really necessary for a Xen DomU and can be extended easily to be a web-/mail-/or whatever server. So I tried to install into a directory to create a package list with the software installer. Summary: it seems to be impossible 1. my local system is de_DE and therefore the de_DE pattern extensions are always added (what's not wanted in that case). The QT software manager has no option to change that, while it seems that the ncurses one provides a pattern selector for locales. 2. my local system has an nvidia gfx card (and it has the nvidia repository added) so the software manager always chooses the nvidia drivers. The same for all other kernel modules or packages which provide these magic hw keys. 3. never start a selection with too many patterns enabled since you will never get rid of them w/o creating looping dependencies 4. there are more strange conflicts which came up all the time. For example trying to remove dirmngr only brings up conflicts for packages dirmngr "requires", while those are still being marked for installation. Sorry, that I can't easily create distinct bugreports for those but can only tell my experiences with all that. So basically what I wanted to achieve is: "creating a minimal (but usable) Xen image" So if anyone was successful with that I'm interested how it was done in the end.

[opensuse] SuSEfirewall2 & PPTP SERVER SFW2-FWDint-DROP-DEFLT IN=ppp0
by Tim Ertl 04 Jan '08

04 Jan '08

10.2 and 10.3 are wonderful! What an improvement over the old 8.2! Are there any doc's on how to set up SuSE 10.2 (or equiv) PPTP SERVER with SuSEfirewall2? I have looked all over and found VPN Client configs but no Server configs that are current and not much on the firewall with vpn's. All thoughts and comments are very welcome. Happy New Year! Why? I had done it on SuSE 8.2 so I took a stab at it on 10.2. I am able to connect and validate passwords etc. I can Ping the Server host IP (192.168.1.1). I can ping my ppp0 (192.168.225.1) ip address on the firewall. I can even VNC into the 192.168.1.1(the firewall ip)! I can not get on to the rest of the INTernal network (192.168.1.25)? ERROR: Jan 3 22:23:20 gate kernel: SFW2-FWDint-DROP-DEFLT IN=ppp0 OUT=eth2 SRC=192.168.224.1 DST=192.168.1.25 LEN=60 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=127 ID=2316 PROTO=ICMP TYPE=8 CODE=0 ID=39955 SEQ=1280 I am one of those that have had good success with SuSEfirewall2 in the past but I am confused this time.

Yes, I understand that... but the info program is trying to second guess me giving an approximate page instead of the exact match. I would prefer the answer "no such page" or "no such page, perhaps you want this other page?" It also causes problems for "pinfo". This "pinfo" is supposed to give the info page if found, or the man page otherwise; in this case it gives the wrong info page instead of the correct man page. Another example is "pinfo mount": it gives "File: libc.info, Node: Mount-Unmount-Remount", ie the programmer's help, not the user command help. This is certainly wrong for the command "pinfo", although arguably correct for "info". I now there is a "/etc/pinforc", but I have no idea how to tell it to find only exact matches, nor how to manually tell it to jump to the next match. - -- Saludos Carlos E.R. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4-svn0 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFHfnsbtTMYHG2NR9URAjodAJ0WlcxSt6UNrVKU+TU4XRc2MnkREwCcCfRo 01UDemgMN+ISUSa3y5ipOSs= =wDNI -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

[opensuse] Problem Booting XEN
by Rob Hutton 04 Jan '08

04 Jan '08

Clean install of 10.3 on a Dell PE2950 Normal kernel boots with no problem. When I try to boot the XEN kernel, it hangs just after "Loading CPUFreq modules (CPUFreq not supported)". It looks like it is an X issue, but I can not tell for sure. Nothing looks problematic in the logs. It has an ATI video card, and I have tried both the legacy and latest drivers. When they are loaded I get: /etc/init.d/earlyxdm: line 108: 2851 Segmentation fault /usr/sbin/ionice -n 2 /sbin/preload /etc/preload.d/kdm hwinfo is attached.

Thanks Phil -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org ---- In order to get other machines able to "see" the virtual machine, you are going to need to change the networking within the VM from NAT to Bridged mode. This will allow that XP VM to have an IP address within the same subnet as the other hosts on your 192.168.x.x network.

[opensuse] Bulk addition of users into LDAP
by Marlier, Ian 04 Jan '08

04 Jan '08

Hey, all -- I'm running a number of opensuse servers, from 10.1 through 10.3. One of those machines is set up as an LDAP server, which is used by the others for authentication. User management is done via the relevant YaST modules: - LDAP Client -- sets up the auth mechanism and the like - User and Group Management -- to add users, manage passwords, etc. I would like to be able to continue to manage users in this fashion. However, I now have an additional need. An application that we use requires authentication. We have stored authentication information for it in a database, which works, kind of. However, we would like to move from a database backend to the LDAP directory. Each application user will become a system user, some of them with system access, others with /bin/false as their shell. I'm wondering whether there's a way to bulk-load users into openldap in a way that's SUSE-compliant. Creating the necessary LDIF files isn't hard, but that doesn't do much for me in terms of incrementing UIDs and the like... Anyone have any hints/tips/pointers/etc that they might be able to pass along?

[opensuse] Installing 64 and 32bit packages simultaneously
by Samuel Partida 04 Jan '08

04 Jan '08

Hi people, i'm trying to install Zatoo on openSuSE 10.3 64bit edition, so it requires some 32bit packages in order to work. The issue comes when I want to install the same package, one from the 64bit repository and another from the 32bit repository. I'm not talking about those packages named "package...-32bit" which are on the 64bit repo. How can be those packages installed from Yast and/or Zypper? Finally, what I want to do is something similar to Red Hat's up2date command when you specify "-arch x86_64" or "-arch i586". Thanks a lot. -- Samuel Partida Amores ----------------------------------- samuel.partida(a)gmail.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
