[opensuse] Video clips on a specific site -- Firefox vs Opera
by Stan Goodman 05 Nov '09

05 Nov '09

The site <http://jpost.com>, like many other news-oriented sites, carries some items in the form of video clips, and these clips are provided by an outside contractor. I am unable to view these clips on Firefox (v3.0.14), although there is no problem with Opera, so I know that the problem is not one of an exotic video format unsupported in Linux (that was the case, BTY, with the previous provider for this site). I can see video clips on other news sites. A telephone call to the provider in hopes of learning what is preventing FF from seeing the clips elicited only the information that "everything looks OK from here", which was not helpful. I do not know what format is used for these clips. but I have enabled JavaScript for the relevant sites; FF has the Shockwave Flash 10.0 r32 plugin, enabled for swf and spl. The symptom in FF is that I can see only the black rectangle where images should be, and the Start icon does nothing. I would be grateful for any advice or comment. -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] gnome-screensaver dpms stopped working reliably - 11.1
by Jim Henderson 05 Nov '09

05 Nov '09

With one of the recent updates, gnome-screensaver seems to be kicking the dpms setting on my monitor briefly, and then the monitor comes back on. I did notice a problem with gnome-power-manager dying (turned out to e related to an update to the gstreamer "bad" plugins, which I've removed - resolving that problem), but now the power manager is running and the power settings are to kick the screensaver off after 10 minutes inactivity and the power for the monitor off after 11 minutes. With a direct activation of the screensaver through a panel applet or the gnome-screensaver-command tool, it's always been 1 minute after activation that it kicks the monitor off. But now it's kicking it off at the expected time, and then within seconds (2-5 seconds) the monitor comes back on. No password dialog comes up. The only time I'd noticed behaviour like this was when I had an actual mouse connected to the system. I now only have an old Alps glidepoint attached (which I have used for a long time) and a Wacom Intuos4 tablet - but with the mouse off the active area of the tablet, I still see this problem. It doesn't seem to be a mouse movement or any other input that's kicking it back on as near as I can tell. How might I diagnose this issue? I *am* using an experimental wacom kernel driver (for OLED support in my tablet) but the X driver is an unmodified driver (built from source) that I'd used prior to the update that seems to have caused this problem; the update was a couple of weeks ago, and I don't recall what the updates were that were applied at that point. Thanks for any help in tracking this down.

[opensuse] openSUSE 11.1 (x86_64) - Seeking kernel rpm for revision 2.6.27.19-3.2.1
by Simon Loewenthal/NL/Tele2 04 Nov '09

04 Nov '09

Dear all, I wonder if someone can help me here? I am looking for these rpms: kernel-default-base-2.6.27.19-3.2.1 kernel-default-2.6.27.19-3.2.1 kernel-default-extra-2.6.27.19-3.2.1 I have hacked a kernel into place, and want to add the packages to make it complete. (If you want to know why, then its a quick hack to move a Xen guest to a physical machine.) System is running: Linux nnnnnnnn 2.6.27.19-3.2-default #1 SMP 2009-02-25 15:40:44 +0100 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux ( # cat /etc/*releas* openSUSE 11.1 (x86_64) VERSION = 11.1 I have looked on http://software.opensuse.org/search for 2.6.27.19 and had no results. Not even 2.6.27 returns anything. I did find these on, http://www.filewatcher.com/_/?q=kernel-default-2.6.27.19-3.2.1 but I would rather download the rpm from opensuse or novell. Could someone help me out with a URL for these?

[opensuse] SLES Clustering with 2 Nodes - no Failover?
by c＠7bf.de 04 Nov '09

04 Nov '09

Hi out there, actually I want to create a two node failover cluster. I know, this is an OpenSUSE Mailinglist and I'm using SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 11, but it seem's that no one could help me :-/ The shared storage isn't a real shared storage. I sync local harddisks with drbd. The used services are DHCP and DNS. The services are up and running. Migrating services is working perfect. I created the Cluster using the Cluster-GUI of yast2 and the crm_gui. My Problem: It seems to be impossible to change the Quorum-Vote from 2 to 1 and because of that all services are stoppt on all servers when one node goes down. Anyone an Idea? regards, Christian -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

I use VMware workstation and whenever I install it I have to remove some of the vmware modules that are installed by default with opensuse. Q1: is this from an opensource VMware? Q2: is this the VMware server? Q3: how does is compare with the commercial VMware Workstation? -=terry=- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] 11.1: What is the relationship between nscd and nslcd?
by Joachim Schrod 04 Nov '09

04 Nov '09

Hi, In 11.0 or 11.1 the new package nss-ldapd was introduced, with the daemon nslcd. It is supposed to be used for LDAP connection pooling when one wants to have LDAP being a nameservice source, like passwd or group. Since quite some time nscd, the nameservice cache daemon, also has that functionality as a side effect. Since programs don't make nss queries themselves, but contact the cache daemon, only it connects to the LDAP server. How is that supposed to work together? -- Shall one use only one of them? -- Or both? -- Does nslcd replace nscd when one uses LDAP? There are no dependencies in the packages and no notes in the documentation (that I found ;-)) what is the best practice concerning these nameservice lookup daemons. Can anyone spend some light on this issue, please? Joachim PS: It's quite irritating that nss_ldap still exists with the old PADL README* files, as in 10.x, but nss-ldapd claims that it's a reimplementation of nss_ldap -- and both packages include the same /lib/libnss_ldap.so.2. So either one or the other README is wrong. :-( I also don't know if one should install both nss_ldap and nss-ldapd or only one of them. No dependencies, no conflicts; argc, argv, aaaargggghhh, ... -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Joachim Schrod Email: jschrod(a)acm.org Roedermark, Germany -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Practicalities of IPv6 - tc does not have IPv6 support?
by Per Jessen 04 Nov '09

04 Nov '09

According to http://lartc.org/howto, tc (traffic control) does not yet support ipv6 filtering. This has the potential to be a significant problem. I use tc/wondershaper to reserve upstream bandwidth for VoIP, but I guess I won't be having enough IPv6 traffic (for a while) for it to cause a real problem. /Per -- Per Jessen, Zürich (12.6°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
