[opensuse] Any way to Save .bash_history command to file when HISTSIZE= is reached?
by David C. Rankin 10 Feb '09

10 Feb '09

Listmates, Is there any way to Save .bash_history command to file when HISTSIZE= limit is reached? I would love to be able to hack whatever command removes entries from the .bash_history file and have it append that cli to something like history.sav so I could save old command lines. The problem is that I don't know where this code lives or whether it is even accessible to me. Anybody have any ideas? Thanks. -- David C.

[opensuse] No boot screen anymore...
by JB2 08 Feb '09

08 Feb '09

Hey gang, After an kernel update with Yast (last year...took me a while to remember to ask about this!), when I rebooted my (10.3) system, instead of a nice green (or hope of hope, the penguins) screen, I get a bunch of words in a large(ish) font scrolling by real fast before the login screen finally pops up (it looks like the stuff one would later find in /var/log of somekind). What happened? Why did a kernel update change my nice green screen to this suddenly? How do I get my screen back instead of this humongous ugliness of gibberish scrolling along? Is it something to do with menu.lst, which this is what mine looks like: ------------- # Modified by YaST2.

[opensuse] Citrix client for openSUSE 11.1
by Roger Oberholtzer 08 Feb '09

08 Feb '09

I have just tried to install the 'latest' citrix linux client from citrix via an RPM. It requires /usr/lib/libXm.so.3, but 11.1 comes with /usr/lib/libXm.so.4. How have others sorted this? I need to access a web-based citrix server. Any advice on the best way on openSUSE 11.1?

[opensuse] Slow SSH, well sort of...
by Verner Kjærsgaard 07 Feb '09

07 Feb '09

I'm on (any SuSE) a local machine, accessing a particular remote machine running SuSE11.0 using SSH all plain vanilla. From my local machine to others out there, things are fast as expected. To the troubled machine (openSuSE11) things are slow this way: I takes a looooooooooong time to log in. Once in, anything typed echoes back as expected, for example "l" to get a directory listing. But - the listing itself takes 10 - 15 seconds to emerge. If I open two ssh shells to the troubled machine and keep an eye on the live log (using tail -f /var/log/messages), I see nothing wrong. I see, however, that the log entry for someone logging in emerges imediately, but the actual prompt (in my second ssh shell) does appear only after like 10 seconds after the line in the log is seen. I do see one line in the log though..it says: "Did not receive identification string from (my IP)" I read somewhere that this is caused "by the host not running ident.d" (??) Anyone knows anything? As always, all help is appreciated. -- ------------------------------ Med venlig hilsen/Best regards Verner Kjærsgaard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Why are different SSL fingerprints returned for imap -- Sandy?
by David C. Rankin 06 Feb '09

06 Feb '09

List, Sandy: I am trying to figure out why different SSL fingerprints are returned for a dovecot imap mailbox depending on whether you get the fingerprint from a fetchmail dump with: /usr/bin/fetchmail -a -v -n --folder spam-learn or whether you get the fingerprint directly from the cert: openssl x509 -in /etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem -noout -fingerprint Am I looking at different fingerprints? the mail.domain fingerprint versus the SHA1 fingerprint?

[opensuse] Who is using Gnome?
by Robert Paulsen 06 Feb '09

06 Feb '09

For me, KDE4 looks to be not worth the learning curve. Since KDE4 forces me to learn *something* new and less usable than KDE3 it seems worth considering Gnome. I'd be interested in hearing from those who use it and what their experiences are.

[opensuse] Sluggish Text Drawing Via ATI Video Card On 11.1 (Unlike 10.0)
by Randall R Schulz 06 Feb '09

06 Feb '09

Hi, One lingering issue with my new 11.1 installation is the sluggishness with which text is drawn in Konsole windows. The same hardware running 10.0 and the SuSE-supplied video driver exhibited virtually instantaneous drawing of text pages in Konsole and very rapid scrolling. I am now running the ATI / AMD proprietary driver, but a big reason I installed it was this very symptom under the openSUSE-supplied driver, which I incorrectly believed would be rectified by the proprietary driver. Can anyone shed any light on this? Ideally, suggest a fix? Randall Schulz -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Hello, I currently have my Google calendar integrated in Thunderbird/Lightning. Works great. I would like to sync that calendar with my Nokia 6680.

[opensuse] WARNING! re latest update to OpenOffice from Novell
by Basil Chupin 05 Feb '09

05 Feb '09

Just to be sure, do not allow YaST/zypper (or even smart) to update your (32-bit) 11.1 installation of OpenOffice to the latest version - leave it at 3.0.0.9-1.11. I allowed zypper to update it this morning and now I have one big f***-up, and lost the ability to run OpenOffice. I've spent the past 9 hours trying to figure out how to get my working OO back and the only conclusion I have now come to is for me to use 'rpm -e OpenOffice*' and reinstall from the DVD (with the BuildService STABLE for OO *disabled* in the repos). Now your mileage re this may vary and you may even have had no problems with YaST updating your OO on your system - which is fine. But if you are yet to update OO then watch out for the list of the dependency errors, and then simply do not attempt to update OO.
