[opensuse] Zypper deleted (WTF???!!!)
by Rodney Baker 10 Oct '08

10 Oct '08

Hi all. For some reason, after the last round of auto updates (or software installation, I'm not sure which), zypper has been deleted from my system. I certainly did not do this myself! The last entry in zypper.log was on 10.06.08 at 21:57 local time (which probably doesn't help anyone). Some time after this, zypper has been erased. Running 'which zypper' (as root) reveals no zypper found anywhere in the path. This means that I can't run online updates or any of the Yast package management plugins. RPM still seems to be installed - at least that's something. Can someone point me to the zypper rpm so I can reinstall it please? I may have to resolve some dependencies manually if anything else has been deleted that shouldn't have been... Thanks, -- =================================================== Rodney Baker VK5ZTV rodney.baker(a)iinet.net.au ===================================================

[opensuse] Evolution Dying
by Kai Ponte 09 Oct '08

09 Oct '08

I'm trying to see if I can switch from running Outlook to Evolution. However, I'm having troubles. First off, it seems to want to not authenticate me very often. I'll authenticate using my password, then it will suddently switch to offline mode. Also, when I click on the icon, about 2/3 of the time, it will not start. Running from the CLI shows... kai@xwing:~> evolution CalDAV Eplugin starting up ... I have Evolution 2.12.0-5.8 and the exchange plugin 2.12.0-5. -- kai www.filesite.org || www.perfectreign.com government is a process which utilizes 45.5% gut reaction, 45.5% laws and statutes and 1% logic -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Thank you. Okay, now, in KDE, down at the bottom, you should have a little plug icon (or battery icon if you're not plugged in) - see attached. Do you have this? If not, it is KPowersave - make sure you have that loaded. You can right-click and configure it in many ways. http://powersave.sourceforge.net/kpowersave/index.html That should get you started. -- kai www.filesite.org || www.perfectreign.com government is a process which utilizes 45.5% gut reaction, 45.5% laws and statutes and 1% logic

[opensuse] VMware & 11.0 problem
by James Hatridge 09 Oct '08

09 Oct '08

Hi all! I'm trying to get VMware working on 11.0. BUT when I run the setup program I get this: None of the pre-built vmmon modules for VMware Server is suitable for your running kernel. Do you want this program to try to build the vmmon module for your system (you need to have a C compiler installed on your system)? [yes] This should not happen, what am I doing wrong? BTW I'm useing "VMware-server-2.0.0-116503.i386.rpm".

You took the latest updated version of kernel-source (probably as you just installed it today) but the update of the kerlen itself was never processed. Either select the older version of kernel-source in yast package manager or (preferred) make a complete online update to get the newest kernel installed. After installing a new kernel, you'll have to reboot the system.

[opensuse] Passive FTP with Netfilter/IPTABLES
by LLLActive＠GMX.Net 09 Oct '08

09 Oct '08

Hi all, I am learning how to use Netfilter/IPTables. I got active FTP going (Ports 20 & 21), but as soon as I logged in on an external FTP server and want to list the directory, I have no response. I have gathered that the problem is with the passice FTP mode it switches to. How do I cater for passive FTP with an IPTABLES command. The active command in a filters.sh script is: ~~~~~~~ START (part of script) ~~~~~~~~~~ #### variables ##### # net all NET_ALL='0.0.0.0/0' # external interface IF_EXT='eth0' IP_EXT='10.9.8.1' NET_EXT='10.9.8.0/24' BCAST_EXT='10.9.8.255' # internal interface IF_INT='eth1' IP_INT='10.8.0.1' NET_INT='10.8.0.0/24' BCAST_INT='10.8.0.255' ...... # ports p_high='1024:65535' plist_ftp='20 21' ...... # FTP for p_ftp in $plist_ftp; do # use these rules for every port in $plist_ftp iptables -A FORWARD -i $IF_INT -o $IF_EXT -p TCP -s $NET_INT -d $NET_ALL --sport $p_high --dport $p_ftp -m state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT iptables -A FORWARD -i $IF_EXT -o $IF_INT -p TCP -s $NET_ALL -d $NET_INT --sport $p_ftp --dport $p_high -m state --state ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT done ~~~~~~ END ~~~~~~ TIA Al -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
