[opensuse] SSH Characters look odd from non-openSUSE client
by Andrew Joakimsen 06 Sep '08

06 Sep '08

I have an old dos program running in dosemu. When I ssh in from a machine running openSUSE it looks just fine, but when I SSH in from a Windows machine with the PuTTy client the characters don't look right. Does anyone have any suggestion for fixing this? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Samba server and accessing those shares
by Chris Arnold 05 Sep '08

05 Sep '08

11.0 x86 64 with kde 4.1. Trying to access some samba shares and i keep getting prompted to enter a password and it never takes the password i enter. What i am trying to do is, this server is without any users meaning it only has root login. It is not in active directory domain however, i want to authenticate to AD. So when at a workstation, i enter the path to the share and enter an AD username and password. Since this share that lives on a samba server does not have any users except root, i never can auth. So in yast->samba server and on the ldap tab, is this where i enter the info to the AD server? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] BASH - howto 'read' line in file and preserve leading whitespace?
by David C. Rankin 05 Sep '08

05 Sep '08

Listmates, I stumbled on a problem trying to read a file (email mailbox) line-by-line in bash. Using the built-in read, it strips the leading whitespace from each line making the subsequent write impossible. I was using a while loop as follows: { while read XTAG VALUE LINE; do if [[ ${XTAG} == "X-Mozilla-Status:" ]]; then case ${VALUE} in 1019 ) NEWVAL=1011;; 1009 ) NEWVAL=1001;; 001b ) NEWVAL=0013;; 0019 ) NEWVAL=0011;; 000b ) NEWVAL=0003;; 0009 ) NEWVAL=0001;; * ) NEWVAL=${VALUE};; esac echo -e "${XTAG} ${NEWVAL} ${LINE}" >> ${NEWFILE} else echo -e "${XTAG} ${VALUE} ${LINE}" >> ${NEWFILE} fi XTAG=''; VALUE=''; LINE=''; NEWVAL='' done } < ~/.thunderbird/2k12pnl0.default/Mail/pop.suddenlinkmail.com/openSuSE.sav All of the lines in the mailbox with leading whitespace were written without the leading whitespace like: original file: Received: from edge03.suddenlink.net ([195.135.221.135]) by imta03.suddenlink.net newfile: Received: from edge03.suddenlink.net ([195.135.221.135]) by imta03.suddenlink.net Is there a bash trick that will preserve the whitespace? -- David C.

[opensuse] feel dumb, network under virtualbox (sun version)
by jdd 05 Sep '08

05 Sep '08

Hello I'm asked to send yast2 logs for bug solution. The tgz file is on a minimal openSUSE 11 install on the vbox (sun non oss). The hard drive is full, I can't install the vbox tools, so no usb, no tmp dir :-( I *can* use yast to make updates from the net (well, stopped for lack of room, unimportant), but I cant ping anything, not even download.opensuse.org (195.135.221.130)!!! how can yast do something I can't do by hand!!! resolv.conf and default route are to 10.0.2.2, default for sun virtualbox jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://valerie.dodin.org http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-eic8MSSfM -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] gcc internal compiler error compiling ROOT
by Wolf Behrenhoff 05 Sep '08

05 Sep '08

Hello, I tried to compile ROOT 5.21 on OpenSUSE 11 (x86 32 bit). It ends with: (...) XrdSecProtocolpwd.cc:846: internal compiler error: in copy_reference_ops_from_ref, at tree-ssa-sccvn.c:588 Please submit a full bug report, with preprocessed source if appropriate. See <http://bugs.opensuse.org/> for instructions. make[5]: *** [../../obj/XrdSecProtocolpwd.o] Fehler 1 (...) Source code available at: ftp://root.cern.ch/root/root_v5.21.02.source.tar.gz I'm sorry to say but I cannot reduce this error to just one source file. In the ROOT support forum, I found out that this problem also applies to OpenSUSE 64 bit. See: http://root.cern.ch/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=6932&sid=49a74246229dc358d52bc0e… The ROOT developers suggest to file a bug report to SUSE. I don't know if that has been done already, anyway I need a work around. (I need xrootd, so disabling it in ROOT is no option) How can I work around this problem or is there a gcc fix available?

[opensuse] Map network drive
by Chris Arnold 05 Sep '08

05 Sep '08

I think this has been covered before but i can not find it in the archives. What i want to do is map a network drive at startup. Ideally, we have a 2003 domain and login scripts for users for the domain and would like to have linux run those but i don't think that is possible? If not, what is the easiest way to map users home drive on opensuse 11 x86 64 with kde 4.1.1? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] VirtualBox, openSUSE11, and network install
by Roger Oberholtzer 05 Sep '08

05 Sep '08

Should it be possible to do a network install of an OS in the VirtualBox OSE that comes with openSUSE11? When I start the machine for the first time, it only offers the choice of CD/DVD or floppy (?) install. Not network. Is this expected behavior? If so, would I perhaps be able to use a floppy image that does a DHCP and PXE boot? I need to install our company-wise Windows PC, and this is only available via the network... -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Kapellgränd 7 P.O.

[opensuse] Basic clipboard question
by Greg Freemyer 05 Sep '08

05 Sep '08

All, I inadvertently modified a office doc and saved only a pdf version of the edited doc. Now I am trying to copy and paste the modified paragraphs from acroread back into the original via oowriter. For some reason the clipboard is ignoring my acroread cntr-c attempts. Same for right click copy. Instead the clipboard is retaining data placed into it via oowriter. Can someone tell me how this is supposed to work? And if it is a bug, is there a work around to clear the clipboard of the old contents so it will accept new content?

[opensuse] Connecting to wireless network with knetworkmanger
by Doctor Who 05 Sep '08

05 Sep '08

I'm using KDE 3.5 on openSUSE 11.0. I cannot see how to connect to wireless networks any longer since the upgrade to knetworkmanager. It used to be that clicking the knetworkmanager icon on the kicker panel would show all of the available wireless networks under wlan1 (or whatever). Now, no wireless networks show up there. Choosing Edit-Connections shows no connections. I'm using an Intel PROwireless 3945ABG card. 'iwlist wlan1 scanning' shows a number of access points when run from konsole.
