[opensuse] Clueless about SSH
by Bob Williams 06 Nov '08

06 Nov '08

On my laptop, I've run ssh-keygen, and I've copied the contents of ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub into ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on my desktop. However, when I issue the command ssh desktop_user@desktop I get the following error message ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host This is disappointing, as I was expecting to be asked to enter the passphrase associated with this key :( Any suggestions?

[opensuse] Safer Kernel Updates
by Andrew Joakimsen 05 Nov '08

05 Nov '08

How can I do Kernel updates but keep the old kernel as an option in the GRUB menu? I just looked at systems recently updated and in /boot all the files for the previous kernel are no longer there. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[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

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.
