[opensuse] dhcpcd timed out

Hello: This regards to openSUSE 11.1. I have working network (ie. I can browse the net), but there are these lines in /var/log/messages: Dec 29 15:07:02 lnx dhcpcd[3002]: eth0: timed out Dec 29 15:07:02 lnx dhcpcd[3002]: eth0: trying to use old lease in `/var/lib/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-eth0.info' Dec 29 15:07:02 lnx dhcpcd[3002]: eth0: broadcasting for a lease Dec 29 15:07:22 lnx dhcpcd[3002]: eth0: timed out Dec 29 15:07:22 lnx dhcpcd[3002]: eth0: trying to use old lease in `/var/lib/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-eth0.info' Dec 29 15:07:22 lnx dhcpcd[3002]: eth0: broadcasting for a lease Dec 29 15:07:42 lnx dhcpcd[3002]: eth0: timed out Dec 29 15:07:42 lnx dhcpcd[3002]: eth0: trying to use old lease in `/var/lib/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-eth0.info' Dec 29 15:07:42 lnx dhcpcd[3002]: eth0: broadcasting for a lease Dec 29 15:08:02 lnx dhcpcd[3002]: eth0: timed out Dec 29 15:08:02 lnx dhcpcd[3002]: eth0: trying to use old lease in `/var/lib/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-eth0.info' Dec 29 15:08:02 lnx dhcpcd[3002]: eth0: broadcasting for a lease And ifstatus-dhcpcd gives: lnx:~ # ifstatus-dhcp eth0 DHCP4 client (dhcpcd) is running . . . but is still waiting for data ifstatus gives: lnx:~ # /sbin/ifstatus eth0 eth0 device: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.

It looks to me that this network ports are not the problem. For testing I changed the portnumbers to +1000 smb.cnf: smb ports = 1139 1445 This doesn't change anything in the problem On 29/12/09 11:09, Josef Karliak wrote: > Hi, > I don't know how in suse firewall, but in me used firewall Shorewall if > it is shorewall stopped or crashed, no traffic is alowed (security > reason).

[opensuse] 11.2: can't add SSL-exception to Firefox
by Werner Flamme 29 Dec '09

29 Dec '09

Hi, I'm running oS 11.2 with KDE 4.3. I installed webmin 1.500 and try to access it via Firefox (3.5.6-5.1.x86_64). I get this incredibly nonsensely "dangerous site" warning. Of course I proceed "I know the risk", "Add Exception". But nothing happens. >From other sites, I know that there used a window to pop up and the unknown certificate was shown and could be added. Now nothing happens - no popup window, no adding possible. BTW, when the respective buttons are labeled with other texts, I am sorry, I re-translated them from the german UI... With Opera, everything works fine. Even when I generate another certificate and even certificate authority via Opera, no popup window appears, no certificate can be imported. Export via Opera and Import in FF work, but still "dangerous site", no popup, the login page is not displayed in FF. I wonder if anyone else saw this...

[opensuse] is it generally recommended to write software that NOT store temporary files in home directory?
by Zhang Weiwu 29 Dec '09

29 Dec '09

Dear all I was wondering is there a best practice or conventional suggestion that software should not write temporary files in user's home directory, but do it on /tmp/ or /var/tmp? I ask this because when I want to backup a live user profile usually it fails thanks to file size change during backup. Most of them are temporary files. In my case it is a bit difficult to back it up by asking the user to log out, because I can only access their computers in working hour, and they are working in working our, especially backup takes perhaps 1 hour, and I don't want to interrupt them by 1 hour. After working hour they took back their notebooks. I start to think, that is it by design backup should be when user not logged in, or is there exist a convention of not using ~/.app as temp but software designers tends to ignore that?

[opensuse] protecting online images
by jdd-gmane 28 Dec '09

28 Dec '09

Hello :-) I try to protect some online images. I have some ideas I would like to know if they have any chance of being usefull. most simply, I have a photo collection that lay online. public photos are on open folders, private one are hidden behind <directory> apache passwd restrictions. This seems to work. http://dodin.org/wiki/index.php?n=Photo.GaleriesPhoto However, I would like to have some more functions (for example slideshows) using a gallery software. right now I try to use piwigo. The software allows using permissions on images so only the needed ones are public. However most photo in the collections have trivial names (mostly the name given by the photocamera), so it's pretty simple to mind most names from knowing one. For example if I have one public image in the repository, all private names can be gessed and private image viewed. If I add apache restriction, the gallery software dont work. I try to fix this. I don't know any way to allow downloading of public images without giving publicly they URL :-( so I wonder if I could add somewere in the image name a random part making the name guess much more dificult. for example, I could change the name img_2015.jpg to img_2015_489745.jpg, 489745 being random. Do you think this will be enough? is there any better way to have the same result? do you have ideas? I need to keep part of the original name to be able to relate the image to the initial original one thanks jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://valerie.dodin.org http://news.opensuse.org/2009/04/13/people-of-opensuse-jean-daniel-dodin/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

The problem is that these lines (and the similar ones I already found) are very cryptic, and have to be setup for my needs. Right now none of my tests did work. it have to be done simply because I use "piwigo" (open source php script). I'm in relation with the piwigo maintainer (they are french like me) but this don't seems to be a priority for us. but, before I go further, do you think the anonimisation I quoted can be usefull? is there a way to know all the filenames in the folder (of course apache don't list them) thanks jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://valerie.dodin.org http://news.opensuse.org/2009/04/13/people-of-opensuse-jean-daniel-dodin/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
