Re: [opensuse] How to set up a remote Linux user to access my networked Mac

As far as VNC is concerned, I found out Mac OS X has a built in VNC server. It can be enabled by opening System Preferences -> Sharing -> Screen Sharing and enabling VNC. (also sets a password). Unluckily there is more than that .... l was tols I have to set up dynamic dns so that Elia will be able to connect to my local network. This will have to be set inside my router D-Link). Moreover I need to set port forwarding on my router. This is the hard part for me. I have no idea how to do that.

In order to SSH into the MAC you will need to enable port 22 to be forwarded on your router to your Mac also you may need to allow port 22 inbound on your Mac, assuming you have the firewall turned on: System Preferences > Security select access for specific services and applications and enable Remote Login (SSH). As far as I know I don't think it's easy to have several users logged into a MAC at the same time (this is easy on Linux), so the remote user would have to remote control your open MAC screen, not a separate login to you. -- David Bottrill david(a)bottrill.org Registered Linux user number 330730 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Audio doesn't work after update when using KDE, on DELL XPS 1330
by Gorka Aguirre 30 Sep '08

30 Sep '08

Hi there! After using ubuntu without problem for some time, I decided to try KDE, so I tried first Kubuntu, and now opensuse. In both Kubuntu and opensuse I find the same problem. I install the system and everything works fine at first run. But then, I install all the updates, and after rebooting, the audio doesn't work anymore. I tried a troubleshooting guide from opensuse, but still can't fix it, in loudspeakers and in headphones. Anyone with the same problem? Any idea of how to solve it or which could be the conflictive update, in order to skip it? Thanks a lot!

[opensuse] Tcp reset to mainframe
by Kain, Becki (B.) 30 Sep '08

30 Sep '08

We're continuing with this issue and I'm not even certain if it is an issue. Our linux box (sles 9 or sles 10) opens a connection to the mainframe (we have tcp offloading turned on since we turned it off and it didn't change the issue), they talk, then the linux side sends a http 200 and immediately a FIN ACK before the mainframe can send anything. This is causing exceptions on the mainframe side. Is this really a problem and is there a way to tell the linux side to back off?

RE: [opensuse] 2 TB RAID5 limit

That's not what I asked. I didn't ask why msdos disklabel doesn't work. I asked why you bothered to use _any_ disklabel or partition at all when I told you in a previous post that in this case you don't need gpt OR msdos disklabel, nor any partition within either one. just mkfs <options> /dev/sdb I'm not saying what you did was wrong exactly, just that it's an unnecessary complication. ~~~~~~~ Brian, that is what was asked. You asked why and my response is the answer to the why. Another responder to this post sent an interesting howto. Never played with 'parted' at the CLI before and it was a good experience. It the past, I've need to partition the HD before putting a filesystem on it; Yast would fail if I didn't. Seemed consistent to make a partition, while getting some experience playing with a new tool. Actually, after rereading your post, you did mention making a disklabel, "you can create a gpt disklabel in parted manually at the command line". You also mentioned making smaller partitions, which was not something I wanted. Next time, however, I'll write a filesystem to an un-partitioned disk and give that a go.

[opensuse] Can't install MPlayer from Pacman
by Larry Stotler 30 Sep '08

30 Sep '08

I just did a clean install of 11.0 using the KDE3 LiveCD. When I try to install MPlayer from the pacman repo I get an error saying that libcucul.so.0 is needed but that nothing provides this. I had MPlayer installed on this same machine before from the pacman repo with no problem using this same livecd. If anyone has a suggestion, I'd appreciate it.

[opensuse] Window reaction settings??
by John Bennett 30 Sep '08

30 Sep '08

Hi, I was really brave and I have my wife using Suse11, but I have a bit of a prob. I've enabled Compiz and effects, which I believe was working OK, but recently, the windows have started behaving strangely... (I think she may have been playing, but of course, denies it!!) The following is when using Konqueror: When you hover the mouse over the 'normal' close button (top-right X), the button gets a red border, and the behaviour is not really predictable - it may close the window, but more often than not, it'll bring another konqueror window to the top, and then can't bring the previous back on top. The minimise and restore buttons are not behaving 'normally', either. Have temporarily fixed it by turning Compiz off, but that's a no-no as well, 'cause the main thing she likes about suse/compiz is using the Desktop cube. Have tried turning of stuff and setting window decoration/behaviour to defaults, but nothing seems to fix it.. Ideas?? Probably something really basic, but I can't find it... Thanks in advance.

[opensuse] Garbled/Unusable X on new laptop after installation.
by Kevin Dupuy 30 Sep '08

30 Sep '08

So I'm writing this from Windows Vista now, becuase I'm having some major issues with openSUSE 11.0. On my new laptop (specs at bottom of post), I've freshly installed openSUSE 11.0 w/ default GNOME software selection. During the installation everything goes normal, with the exception that it doesn't detect my resolution (using 1024x768 instead of my laptop's resolution of 1600x900). After first boot, the graphical GRUB menu comes up fine, but once openSUSE boots, there's no bootsplash and the text looks like it's in an extremely low resolution (640x480, perhaps?). The real kicker is when firstboot/the graphical system is loaded, it completely begins going crazy. It goes into a gray-streaked screen, which slowly begins fading into a dark gray streaks in spots around the screen. Nothing comes up, no cursor, no text, nothing. Just that fading screen. Here's the relevent info: Sony Vaio VGN-FW190 Intel Core 2 Duo Processor P8400 Mobile Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD 16.4" (1600x900) TFT All the help I can get will be greatly appreciated ;-) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
