This depends on your company's VPN configuration. Some configurations shut down all local network configuration, let only stay the VPN one, and prevent to establish other local network connections again. I assume that you can't ping your wife's computer after you connected. To test if you can reestablish the connection, you should take note of your network configuration before configuration and afterwards try to establish additional alias interfaces with the old configuration. Something like ip addr add OLD.HOME.IP.ADDR/PREFIX dev IFACE OLD.HOME.IP.ADDR/PREFIX is 192.168.1.12/24 or similar; IFACE is eth0 or similar. If that succeeds, you've got some chances that you can make it work. If not, you're out of luck, the VPN configuration closed down your local system too much. (This is a configuration option in Cisco's VPN software, it is called "Allow Local LAN access" in the Transport section of the Windows configuration GUI; I don't know the Linux equivalent since I try to avoid Cisco's VPN software... ;-)) HTH, Joachim -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Joachim Schrod Email: jschrod(a)acm.org Roedermark, Germany -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Application QuickLauncher in KDE3 Opensuse 11.0
by alpha096＠virginbroadband.com.au 14 Oct '08

14 Oct '08

The Application Quick Launcher is a great tool that automatically updates the number of application that are held for Quick Launch. Any Application that is in the Quick Launcher has a great deal of RAM resources available to preload and offers an increased amount of buffers in KDE3 - opensuse 11.0. I can find the app in software management in KDE4 11.0 and install the software, however no menu item is created and no application icon is created. 1. I have no idea how to execute the KDE4 Application Quicklauncher - could some one help 2. Is anyone else troubled by the new 'Personal Settings' that take the place of Kcontrol and the great deal of functionality in KDE3 that has been dumped in KDE4 3. The panels are no longer objects - there is no ability to drag and drop icons to the panel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] rescan-scsi-bus.sh outdated?
by Per Jessen 14 Oct '08

14 Oct '08

All, I've been doing some config changes on our FC-SAN, and tried using rescan-scsi-bus.sh to pick up the changes - without much luck. I started digging through the script, and it seems to me that the check for return codes from sg_turs in testonline() is not correct. I'm tempted to open a report on that. Has anyone here used rescan-scsi-bus recently? Is there some other tool that should be used instead? /Per Jessen, Zürich -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

I found a related bug[0] and it looks like it's been resolved; the gimp-help version shipped with 11.0 was out of date. As an aside, we can also upgrade to Gimp 2.6[1]. h [0] https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=406692 [1] http://www.decriptor.com/?p=139 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] What has change from 10 to 11 on SuSEfirewall2_setup
by Chuck Payne 13 Oct '08

13 Oct '08

Guys, I have a simple script I have that goes thru all my logs and creates an iptables rules, but I am having an issue with SuSEfirewall2_setup, in Version 10.0 it was real quick to do a restart, but version 11.0, it take almost 5mins for my network to come back up and that is killing me. I don't know about version 10.1 thru 10.3 is it happen there, because I stay on 10.0 until 11.0 came out so I have no other means to see is how it has been. Is there another I can check to speed up the restart. This is so bad it's like rebooting the box. -- -- Command, n.: Statement presented by a human and accepted by a computer in such a manner as to make the human feel as if he is in control. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] RE: Default sound
by alpha096＠virginbroadband.com.au 13 Oct '08

13 Oct '08

1. In 11.0 KDE4 I cannot find which directory holds the default sounds that are played when an action is performed. In the assign sounds to Notifications the default file directory opens with no sound files. 2. The KDE Login Manager requires root, however there is no button to escalate the user authority - How do I edit the menu in Personal Settings to run as root? 3.Right Click in Personal Settings Icons only executes the application behind it ? 4. A click on 'Samba' in the Advanced Icon set of Personal Settings - falls over with backtrace - Has anyone reported this? 5. Where has the functionality of the File Sharing Menu gone from 'Kcontrol' ? 6. Where has the 'Privacy' clean-up settings of 'Kcontrol' gone in KDE4 ? 7. Where has the global spell checker gone from 'Kcontrol'?
