[opensuse] keepassx started segfaulting (keepassx 0.4.1-1)
by David C. Rankin 23 Nov '09

23 Nov '09

Listmates, Just a note. keepassx started segfaulting. I think it is probably qt related. I have downgraded to ver 0.3.3-2.1 (which was working fine) and it segfaults too. This is happening on Arch Linux as well and there is chatter on the ubuntu lists about it. Anybody know what is going on?? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[opensuse] Headless server
by Bob Williams 23 Nov '09

23 Nov '09

Hi, I'm trying to recycle an old machine as a headless server alongside my main desktop machine. The two machines will be linked through my ADSL router. I have done a standard openSUSE + KDE4.1 install on it, but now need to get it able to run in headless mode. I have set the BIOS to 'Halt on none', so hopefully it will boot without mouse, keyboard or monitor. I now need to set it to boot into runlevel 3, as there is no need for a GUI, but I am not sure which file(s) need editing. My user was set to 'Automatic login' at installation. Hopefully, I will then be able to ssh into my user, having put my id_dsa.pub key into ~/.ssh and into ~/.ssh/authorized_keys I'd be very grateful for any advice or a pointer to a How-To document.

[opensuse] 11.2, e17 - Network Manager does not start on login (Enlightenment Devs, Users)
by David C. Rankin 23 Nov '09

23 Nov '09

Listmates, Dmitry: On 11.2 i586 (probably x86_64 as well), when using network manager to handle wireless connections, logging in to e17 will leave you without a way to start networking. The rpms are from ../repositories/X11:/Enlightenment/openSUSE_11.2 and this laptop has the Atheros card that is working fine in kde & gnome. Generally with enlightenment in 11.0, if network manager has been started in a prior desktop, then it would continue to work fine after logging out (for example from gnome) and logging in to e17. For some reason in 11.2, this does not happen. If I boot the box and start gnome, the network immediately connects as it should. However, if I log out from gnome and log into e17, the network is dead and has to be brought up by hand. I know I could probably just add network manager to Setting->Apps-StartupApps, but shouldn't that already be configured? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[opensuse] Most interesting...and possibly disturbing about Flash (and Firefox)?
by Basil Chupin 22 Nov '09

22 Nov '09

I've been using Firefox for some years. In recent years , when they became available, I've been using a variety of Extensions as 'security measures' - for example NoScript, AdBlock, etc. Recently there was a question raised by (?)..... concerning Adobe's Flash - and a, brief, discussion on the security problem posed by Flash ensued; this flowed on to the general question of how secure Linux/Linux distros was/were when it was mentioned that permissions could be altered by applications even within a normal user's home directory. However, this matter was not really properly answered, and not pursued further. Just a few minutes ago I was using Firefox and went to one (of many such sites) for which I have NoScript disallow javascript but, after deliberately allowing javascript for the site and its associated sites (eg, YouTube also wants you to allow javascript for ytimg.com) I can carry on and view any video-related material. OK, with YouTube, as one example, after I get to the point of clicking on the ">" to play the video, I usually also get another request from NoScript to allow "something" to be able to continue to view the video. In the past I automatically, and in an irritated state, clicked, "YES", to simply get on and view the video. But just now I had a closer look at what I had previously been simply accepting without paying any attention to it. What the last "warning" which NoScript was asking me to allow was, "Allow about:blank" - which I was always in the past auto. accepted. I know what "about:plugins" and "about:config" show when I type these in the URL window in Firefox. But "about:blank"? This time I typed in "about:blank" in the URL windows.....and got, "Search Bookmarks and History". Now, as everyone who knows me, I am not a paranoid person ("In a pig's bum I'm not!") so what is this all about?

[opensuse] booting 11.2
by Bob S 22 Nov '09

22 Nov '09

Hello SuSE people, I downloaded and installed a clean new 11.2 GM iso 64 bit DVD yesterday. It installed just fine and allowed an ext4 file system. I chose to let it boot from it;s own primary. (Like the other os's I have installed) (Grub dutifully added it to it:s menu.) On it's own first boot It worked very well and I did a few small tweaks to it. Shutdown for the night. Today, I booted up and chose the 11.2 entry in Grub and got this message: boot (hd2,7) filesystem type is ext2fs partition type 0x83 configfile /boot/grub/menu.lst and sat there with the cursor flashing. Have no idea what it is doing or telling me and it won't boot 11.2. Had to shutdown. Something about the filesystem? Ideas anyone? Please?
