Dear my friends, I am building a VPN Network with OpenVPN and OpenSuSE11. These are what I've done: - I downloaded and installed OpenVPN with YaST2. - I copied the file of 'server.conf' like this: " cp -v /usr/share/doc/packages/openvpn/sample-config-files/server.conf /etc/openvpn/server.conf " - I Editted "/etc/openvpn/server.conf".

[opensuse] Virtualbox+bridged network+Network manager
by Ciro Iriarte 04 Nov '08

04 Nov '08

Hi, I'm having all kind of issues with VMware Server on Opensuse 11.0 and decided to use VirtualBox, the only issue is that it doesn't handle bridged networks automagically and NetworkManager has to be disabled. Having seen the xen bridge schema on sles|opensuse, is it possible to adapt it to work with VirtualBox?, that way the physical interface will be renamed as peth0 and the bridged interface will take the eth0 name, that way NetworkManager should see it and work as a usual. Any thoughts? Regards, Ciro -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] No Sound with Flash 10
by Jim herold 04 Nov '08

04 Nov '08

I'm running OpenSuSE 11.0 x86_64. I recently decided to upgrade nspluginwrapper to 1.1.2 (built from source, not currently available in any repositories) so that I could run the 32bit Flash plugin in Firefox. I can see Flash video just fine, but can't seem to get the audio working. Anytime I try it I get the following message: which: no soundwrapper in (/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/bin/games:/opt/kde3/bin:/opt/cross/bin:/usr/lib64/jvm/jre/bin:/usr/lib/mit/bin:/usr/lib/mit/sbin:/usr/lib/qt3/bin) I've tried a number of things based on searches on the Internet including making sure I have 32bit ALSA libraries installed, libasound 32bit installed, and I also tried installing KDE3 multimedia libraries (I'm run PAWM for a window manager in case that matters), as well as Pulse libraries. I tried running alsaconf and stepped through to make sure ALSA is setup correctly. I am getting sound from other applications just fine, and only have issues with the Flash plugin. I also noticed that there's a libflashsupport.so and searched for an updated version, but there doesn't seem to be one. I currently have uninstalled libflashsupport.so. Anyone have any ideas what may be the issue here? Any help is greatly appreciated. jh -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] slow SuSe 11
by f.costen＠cs.man.ac.uk 04 Nov '08

04 Nov '08

Dear Sirs, I installed SuSe 11 on my laptop and my normal usage of the laptop during the week is 1. I login to the laptop from another Unix/linux box 2. run the thunderbird and firefox on the laptop and send the window to the terminal in front of me 3. use these software on the Unix/Linux box. So far(SuSe 10 and 10.1, 10.2 ) I did not have any problem on these software but after the installation of SuSe 11, the window behaviour, file opening are pretty slow. Could you give me any suggestion on the way to solve this issue ? thanks Fumie -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] TFT monitor blinking
by Istvan Gabor 04 Nov '08

04 Nov '08

Hello: I have changed my CRT monitor to TFT flat panel. The monitor was recognized and set up by openSUSE 10.3 automatically, the resolution is set to 1400x1050, color depth is 24. I have an ATI Radeon VE/7000 videocard. Interestingely the monitor is blinking frequently, ie. turns completely to black just for a second. This occurs eg. when I change the with of name, ext or other colums or change directory in krusader, save file or change tab in Opera browser. The screen comes back to normal after this transient one second blank state. I never experineced similar with my CRT monitor, though its resolution was only 1024x768. Any explanation, suggestion to solve this or trace the cause?

As much as I hated that app when it first came out, I really like it now. And don't let anyone tell you that you can still use Konqi for a file manager: it calls dolphin and behaves more like dolphin than the Konqi we knew from KDE 3. But that's really just fine: like I said, dolphin has come a long way and it really is a good piece of software.

Even so, the TUV certification is valid for the current version of LiMux... which contains KDE 3.5... so what's the point? Nobody, but really NOBODY forces you to go to openSUSE 11.2 (which won't have kde 3 shipped anymore)... Having an old product removed from a package is nothing unusual.... ever tried to sue the competitor for not having IE6 shipped with Vista anymore? You can't tell me IE7 is equal to 6, as I know some sites which refuse to work with anything else than IE6 But this is getting really far off what this list should all be about. If you don't agree to steps taken by a distro, recompile the old packages for your favorite version and install it... I'm sure with some effort you can even get KDE 2 to run on openSUSE 11.1 and laters. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Is the a list of Switches that support link bonding?
by Greg Freemyer 03 Nov '08

03 Nov '08

All, I considering setting up link bonding for the first time. The server would have 2 NICs. Possibly a couple of the clients would have the same, but most of the clients only one NIC. I've checked a couple switches and I'm confused. I found one old comment that there was a 8-port Netgear 1Gbit switch that supported it for $100 which sounds great. But I need about 24 ports, and from my initial looks I haven't found one yet that does. My method is to drill down into spec sheets, but I'm hoping someone has already done that and built a nice list?

[opensuse] mdadm --grow
by Greg Freemyer 03 Nov '08

03 Nov '08

All, I'm conceptually putting together a NFS server in my head. (I will build it once I know what it is!!) What I want is something flexible. ie. Have it start with 3 or 4 drives, then add a drive when I need the capacity. Remove a drive when I don't. replace the drives with bigger drives as the become available. All without losing my data. (Or having to back it up / restore it.) I'd like to start with a 4 disk Raid 10 providing 2 TB of space, but then have the ability to add disks, change raid techniques etc. (ie. convert to raid 6 without data loss!!). mdadm --grow implies it can do this, but there is not much there and my google searches did not turn up much either. Can anyone tell me how well it works and what sorts of things can actually be done. And can it be used to "shrink" a volume. (I believe XFS supports shrinking a filesystem, so I would first shrink the filesystem, then hopefully use mdadm to shrink the raid array.) If mdadm can't do any of this, is there a hardware controller card that can? FYI: The Drobo (www.drobo.com) can do the above as I understand it, but the performance is apparently very slow. Only 5 to 8 MB/sec from the reviews I saw. I want at least 80MB/sec when reading large files.
