[opensuse] New location of the OpenLDAP packages in the buildservice
by Ralf Haferkamp 14 Aug '08

14 Aug '08

Hi, in order to fit better into the current buildservice structure the OpenLDAP project has been moved into the newly created "network:ldap" namespace. Additionally I took the chance to reorganize the packaging a bit. There are different subprojects for the different release branches of OpenLDAP.org. For Packages from the 2.4 release branch that makes: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/network:/ldap:/OpenLDAP:/RE24/ and packages from the 2.3 release branch can be found here: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/network:/ldap:/OpenLDAP:/RE23/ If you were using the repositories from http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/OpenLDAP/ please update you configuration to one of the above as I plan to remove the old project in a few weeks. (Rebuilds have already been disabled for the old project). Additionally I have plans to add other LDAP related packages (nss_ldap, pam_ldap) to the "network:ldap" namespace as time permits. Contributions and other feedback are of course very welcome. Have a lot of fun...

[opensuse] compiz issues after an update

I'm running openSUSE 10.3. After some updates I rebooted, logged in and noticed that my emerald theme was no longer loading.

[opensuse] openSUSE 11.0 and vmware modules
by Raúl Moratalla Guillén 04 Aug '08

04 Aug '08

Hi, I installed openSUSE 11.0 with all the development tools. Also, I installed Vmware Workstation 6.0.4 that worked fine on openSUSE 10.3 but when I run vmware-config.pl and compile vmware modules for my kernel I get the following message: Your kernel was built with "gcc" version "4.3.1", while you are trying to use "/usr/bin/gcc" version "4.3". This configuration is not recommended and VMware Workstation may crash if you'll continue. Please try to use exactly same compiler as one used for building your kernel. Do you want to go with compiler "/usr/bin/gcc" version "4.3" anyway? [no] I looked at the repositories and there is no version 4.3.1 of gcc, so I can't compile the modules and run vmware (I get an error later). I am using kernel-default, but same happens with kernel-pae. Anynone has the same problem? How can I solve it?

Don't know about the codecs, but k3b for kde4 is still in alpha, so expect things to be broken. If you're happy being an alpha-tester, then have a look in bugs.kde.org to see if it's a known bug or something unique, but don't be too surprised if Seb isn't interested in bug reports until he goes beta.

[opensuse] Streaming audio & video
by J Beris 02 Aug '08

02 Aug '08

Hello listmates, I am looking for a solution to stream audio (mp3) and video (mostly mpg) from my Apache webserver. I have seen several solutions out there on the web, but before I implement something, I would like to ask the openSUSE crowd what they like to use and why. I am looking for several things: 1) Easy to place new things on the server to stream So not "run foo.sh to squelch the gizmo, than change permissions on the whatchamacallit to flurb the noodles", then manually edit bar.conf to list all the new files on the server, but don't forget the semicolon on line 98792345, otherwise people will get an error 900 'noodles misaligned'. Non-Linux people will have to be able to place things on the server. 2) Flexible It shouldn't care about bitrates, hertz, pixels, fps, the hole in the ozone layer and whatnot. 3) Secure Speaks for itself 4) Careful with bandwidth Speaks for itself 5) Scalable Be able to stream 10, 100 or 1000 files (not simultaneously) and still be easy to maintain. I'm very curious to hear your thoughts on this matter.

[opensuse] wacom tablet [solved?]
by primm 02 Aug '08

02 Aug '08

Hi everyone I finally got my graphire 4 5x4 tablet working by trial and error. Yast set the device to /dev/input/event0 I tried: wacdump /dev/input/event* until I got sensible output from: wacdump /dev/input/event6 I then changed /etc/X11/xorg.conf as folows: Section "InputDevice" Driver "wacom" Identifier "Mouse[3]" Option "Device" "/dev/input/event6" Option "InputFashion" "Tablet" Option "Mode" "Absolute" Option "Name" "GRAPHIRE v1-4 (USB)" Option "SendCoreEvents" "on" Option "Type" "cursor" Option "USB" "on" Option "Vendor" "WACOM" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Driver "wacom" Identifier "Mouse[5]" Option "Device" "/dev/input/event6" Option "InputFashion" "Pen" Option "Mode" "Absolute" Option "Name" "GRAPHIRE v1-4 Stylus (USB)" Option "Protocol" "Auto" Option "SendCoreEvents" "on" Option "Type" "stylus" Option "USB" "on" Option "Vendor" "WACOM" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Driver "wacom" Identifier "Mouse[7]" Option "Device" "/dev/input/event6" Option "InputFashion" "Eraser" Option "Mode" "Absolute" Option "Name" "GRAPHIRE v1-4 Eraser (USB)" Option "Protocol" "Auto" Option "SendCoreEvents" "on" Option "Type" "eraser" Option "USB" "on" Option "Vendor" "WACOM" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Driver "wacom" Identifier "Mouse[9]" Option "Device" "/dev/input/event6" Option "InputFashion" "Pad" Option "Name" "GRAPHIRE v1-4 Pad (USB)" Option "Type" "pad" Option "USB" "on" Option "Vendor" "WACOM" EndSection Restarted X and all was well. My question is: will it always be /dev/input/event6 ? HTH others with wacom although I think that Yast ought to be able to configure it properly to begin with.

[opensuse] crypttab and openSUSE
by skx 02 Aug '08

02 Aug '08

How to properly use crypttab in openSUSE? I have openSUSE 11 installed on three encrypted partitions: /, swap and /home, so I have to type password for every one of them during boot. I would like to use crypttab to automatically mount /home (automounting swap seems to be more complicated, I'm leaving it for later). I have created the key file dd if=/dev/urandom of=/etc/key-home bs=1024 count=4 set the rights for it chmod 0400 /etc/key-home added it to LUKS cryptsetup luksAddKey /dev/sda8 /etc/key-home I also checked if /dev/sda8 can be decrypted using the key file. No problem here. I have created /etc/crypttab with only one entry home /dev/sda8 /etc/key-home luks appropriate entry in /etc/fstab was already in place /dev/mapper/home /home ext3 acl,user_xattr,noatime,nodiratime,barrier=1 1 2 as the last thing, I changed the menu entry in /boot/grub/menu.lst from title openSUSE 11.0 - 2.6.25.9-0.2 root (hd0,4) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.25.9-0.2-default root=/dev/mapper/root luks_root=/dev/sda7 luks_swap=/dev/sda6 luks_home=/dev/sda8 luks="root swap home" resume=/dev/mapper/swap splash=silent showopts vga=0x317 initrd /initrd-2.6.25.9-0.2-default to title openSUSE 11.0 auto? - 2.6.25.9-0.2 root (hd0,4) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.25.9-0.2-default root=/dev/mapper/root luks_root=/dev/sda7 luks_swap=/dev/sda6 luks="root swap" resume=/dev/mapper/swap splash=silent showopts vga=0x317 initrd /initrd-2.6.25.9-0.2-default and rebooted. Unfortunately the partition was gone -- not even listed in /dev/mapper. In /var/log/boot.omsg I found failedActivating crypto devices using /etc/crypttab ... unused ...unused I rebooted again and used the original entry for /boot/menu.lst. It worked, but I was asked for password three times, so no progress here.

[opensuse] libperl.a gone in opensuse-11.0?
by Josef Wolf 02 Aug '08

02 Aug '08

Hello, I noticed that libperl.a (used to be part of the perl package in older opensuse releases) is no longer available. Was this library moved to a different package? Maybe it is possible to recreate it from the still existing libperl.so? Any hints? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
