[opensuse] ZFS on SuSE-anyone, Distributed File System...
by Verner Kjærsgaard 26 Jun '08

26 Jun '08

Hi list, - has anyone tried SUN's ZFS on SuSE? Can it be done, is it at all feasible? - or another Distributed file system. I may need a file system, that will allow me to add storage ad hoc. Any hints, links? As always, thanks! -- -------------------------------------------- Med venlig hilsen/best regards Verner Kjærsgaard Novell Certified Linux Professional 10035701 www.os-academy.dk +45 56964223 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Re: [opensuse] Fine-graining Yast access
by Martin Mielke 26 Jun '08

26 Jun '08

Hi Sergio / Hola Sergio, as you know, you can "summon" single YaST modules directly. For example: yast2 sw_single -- for software management yast2 lan -- for network configuration etc. Use yast2 --list for a complete list of modules available. So, maybe you can wrap these commands on a shell script and combine these with sudo... I haven't tried this myself so I cannot tell you whether it works or not... My 2 cents...

Now, the directories are no big deal - just change the group of whatever directories necessary and then add this user to such group along with root - but as far as Yast, I wonder if there is some way to configure this other than manually changing group and permission to every single module (or even if it is possible to do such a thing - AFAIK yast is a single application with different parameters). Any ideas are well appreciated.

[opensuse] Firefox and java - doesn't run applets anymore
by John 26 Jun '08

26 Jun '08

I'm running 10.3 x86 64 suse firefox 2.0.0.14-0.1 For some reason or the other firefox isn't running java applets anymore. I can only put this down to online updates. If I select install plugin I get a message back saying that the plugin isn't available. Manually install. Having torn my hair out in the past trying to sort java out can anybody give me explicit instructions on what to do to fix it. I'm amazed that this sort of thing happens. A browser that won't run java applets is almost useless. John -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] problem with openoffice > 2.4 with NFS home and LDAP authentication
by Sebastian Reitenbach 26 Jun '08

26 Jun '08

Hi all, I fiddled around for about two days, to get OpenOffice 2.4 working on NFS shared home directories, and where the users are authenticated against LDAP. The client is opensuse 10.3, i386. The problems were e.g. after pressing the "finish" button on the registration dialogue, then the registration dialogue froze. OOo also froze when I tried to click on a link in a spreadsheet or writer document. Also local users, not authenticated against LDAP, had the same problem. I played around with the variables STAR_PROFILE_LOCKING_DISABLED and SAL_ENABLE_FILE_LOCKING, in the soffice script, but that did not helped. After some time of googling I figured out, that it might help to swich NFS to version 4, which I did then for the home directory. Then the problems were gone for the locally authenticated user, with an NFSv4 based home directory, but not for the users authenticated against LDAP. After that, I added a LDAP user to the local "users" group in /etc/group, and voila, the problem was gone for this user too. Anybody has an idea how I can make it work for LDAP based users without the need to add these users to the local users group on every client that the user might be going to use? As this is a bit working against the idea of centrally managed user accounts. Not sure, whether this is a problem that I can fix in OpenOffice configuration, or that I comes from some mechanism in the OS. Any idea is greatly appreciated. kind regards Sebastian -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] opensuse 11, boot installed system
by jdd 26 Jun '08

26 Jun '08

Hello, I had a problem with installing 11 (probably remains of a beta install), and grub was not setup. so I had only XP to boot. I couldn't find in the 11 dvd (32 bits) the "boot installed system" option. I found only the repair options (as dumb as usual) did this very important option desapear?!?! thanks jdd (NB: I could start with the 10.3 dvd) -- http://www.dodin.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Merging Kopete chat logs
by J Beris 26 Jun '08

26 Jun '08

Hi list-mates, I have a question concerning Kopete. I use Kopete both on my laptop and my home PC and have history-saving enabled to read back things I've talked about with clients, colleagues, etc. The problem is that since I use Kopete in both locations, my chat logs are also in two locations. I've looked at the files in question in /home/<user>/.kde/share/apps/kopete/logs/. There are XML files there which have the chat transcripts in them. What I am looking for is the following: Is there a simple way that these logs can be merged, in such a way that I can see all conversations in Kopete's history window? Would rsync be an option? The problem for me is that these files are named as follows: <contactname>200806.xml for someone I have chatted with in June of 2008. A file with the same name exists both on the laptop and on the home PC if I have chatted with that contact on both computers in June (which happens a lot). Ideally, these should also be merged. Any thoughts, anyone?

[opensuse] printing question - how do I use the printer fonts from a PDF?
by Per Jessen 26 Jun '08

26 Jun '08

This isn't really openSUSE specific, but this list is full of knowledgeable people, so - I need to print a document with certain items/lines in OCR-B. This font is available in my printer (via a special font-cartridge). Presumably I need to use some of the printer control command set (KPDL). Given that I'm using openOffice for producing the document, how do I indicate that <this line/paragraph> needs to use OCR-B ? /Per Jessen, Zürich -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
