[opensuse] Tips on filing bug reports for RC1?
by Stuart Martin 07 Jun '08

07 Jun '08

I solved the problem of the unmountable NTFS partitions in LiveCD mode by installing, and now both are accessible. However, while Dolphin can both browse and open files from the NTFS partitions, Konqueror crashes if I try to open any file I've browsed to. O have saved the crash report, so should I just submit what happened and attach the crash report, or is there more to making a really useful Buzilla submission? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Compiling the Suse way
by Constant Brouerius van Nidek 07 Jun '08

07 Jun '08

Have never felt the need to compile anything because practically everything you need is nicely packaged for OpenSUSE. I have now a webcam on my 10.3 which will not work properly with the gstreamer0.10 and its plugins, the good, bad and ugly. There have been several bugs solved which are not included in the 10.3 suse packages. I was told the that the versions of my OS are all older so i should have to compile it all from source...plugins and the application itself. Version of the good plugin e.g. is 0.10.8 now (my version gstreamer010-plugins-good = 0.10.6-41@i586) so a lot of bugs have been fixed. Before I start compiling I would like to know if the gstreamer packages for 11.0 are up to date and if I could use them in 10.3. If not, I can remember that in order to keep suse specific changes in a compilation there was a way to get the compilation done. Or was that only for compiling kernels? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Getting SSH to Work
by Rick Bilonick 07 Jun '08

07 Jun '08

I'm running SLED 10.1. sshd is running (I can ssh to localhost) and I've opened port 22 for ssh in the firewall. I can access web pages (which means I have access to the Internet) but I cannot access two other computers (even using their IP's). (I can access these computers from another laptop running Fedora 8 through the same wireless router.) How can I determine what is going wrong? I've tried disabling the firewall completely (although it always seems to come on by itself) to see if it was blocking ssh. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Re: [opensuse] Wireless disappeared?

It has disappeared from there too. First guess is that wireless driver doesn't load. Try in console as root: lsmod to see what driver is loaded (if any). It should be something like ipw3945 or iwl3945. BTW, what openSUSE version you use and did you have any updates before crash. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- lsmod gives me nothing that I recognize as a wireless driver (see below). This is OpenSuSE 10.3, x86, 32 bit. It's running on 64bit dual core Toshiba A105 laptop (about 2 years old). It was fine for maybe 10 days. The update system did install a bunch of updates, but those were soon after (perhaps immediately after) install, and I haven't noticed anything since. The "crash" seemed pretty minor, just lost control of one session, all else was fine. Oh, when it did that, I used another user to get the wireless connection running before I rebooted.

[opensuse] 11.0 RC1 Live CD won't mount NTFS partitions
by Stuart Martin 07 Jun '08

07 Jun '08

I filed this at Bugzilla, but the only response was "works fine here" so it may be unique to my PC. Does anybody have any ideas on this problem: ---------------------------------------------- When I boot from the Live CD, I can't mount NTFS partitions. Here's what I see in sysinfo: Disk Information Device Filesystem Total space Available space Secondary ntfs 195.3 GB XP Main ntfs 100.0 GB SWISNIFE1 vfat 232.9 GB All those details are correct, but although hovering over the volume label brings up a box that says "right-click for options like mount or eject", right-clicking does bring up those options, and the only volume I can access is the FAT one, a USB HDD. I would not necessarily expect write access to ntfs partitions while running the Live Medium, but not having read access limits the opportunities and scope for testing the distro prior to installation. ---------------------------------------------- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Mystery Kernel Module: kernel-module-wl-2.6.16.54-0.2.5-default
by Rick Bilonick 06 Jun '08

06 Jun '08

Does anyone know anything about this package? kernel-module-wl-2.6.16.54-0.2.5-default I believe this is on the SLED 10 SP2 DVD. Yast describes is as "Broadcom 802.11 Wireless Network Driver" It is also shown as "not available for installation". I downloaded SP2 and updated from SP1 to SP2 for SLED 10 and it wiped out the wireless driver. (I installed ndiswrapper and have the wireless working although I cannot connect using wpa_supplicant.)

[opensuse] Connecting Two Computers
by Kai Ponte 06 Jun '08

06 Jun '08

I'm putting together a new computer for my mother-in-law. Just bought a Dell system with FreeDOS and installed 10.3. I want to copy some files from my systems (on the same network) but am having trouble. First off, I can ssh over to her computer. For some reason I can't ssh over to either of my computers. They both say open on the firewall. Even with me typing the root password, I cannot get in. Second, I want to use NFS or SMB to copy. My laptop has samba server and client. When I try to connect using Konqeror I get the shares, but it won't let me in, no matter what password I try. http://www.perfectreign.com/stuff/2008/smb_error.png -- kai www.filesite.org || www.4thedadz.com || www.perfectreign.com remember - a turn signal is a statement, not a request -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Question of http to https rewriting with apache and openSuSE 10.3
by David C. Rankin 06 Jun '08

06 Jun '08

Listmates, I think I am doing this right, but it doesn't work. I have a "Directory" covered by "AuthType" Basic that I want to cause an non-secure (http:) access attempts to be rewritten to secure (https:) access. I am using the Directory definition to set up the rewrite instead of using .htaccess. The rewrite would work the same either way. mod_rewrite.c is loaded and happy. Here is what I have so far in the Directory definition to try and accomplish this: Options +Indexes +FollowSymLinks # RewriteEngine On RewriteBase /dcr # SSLOptions +StrictRequire SSLRequireSSL SSLRequire %{HTTP_HOST} eq "www.3111skyline.com/dcr" ErrorDocument 403 default # RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on RewriteRule .* https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L] What happens is that upon trying to access the url, you are immediately rewritten to https:, but you are not directed back to /dcr, instead you end up at the home page for the site in secure mode. ( https://www.3111skyline.com ) So it is nearly working, but not quite. I am a noob at this rewriting stuff. Do any of you veterans have an ideas what is going wrong or where I should look for answers? The only error in the log is: [Fri Jun 06 01:23:21 2008] [error] [client 192.168.6.101] access to /srv/www/dcr/ failed, reason: SSL connection required But, from my understanding, this isn't a problem because this occurs at the SSLRequire stage which is just a log of the attempted access by http: before redirection to https: occurs.
