Fate - we can't all suggest new features!! [ WAS: Re: [opensuse] /dev/disk/by-uuid ? ]

So I decide to open a feature request about the below at features.opensuse.org for this. Much to my surprise only OpenSUSE members are allowed to create features. What's up with that?

[opensuse] Who knows where icewm stores background, in 11.1 KDE4.2.1?
by Oddball 01 Apr '09

01 Apr '09

Hi, As icewm is not so heavy, i like to use it on my smaller systems. But since the latest updates, some dirty green background has settled, and not the one belonging to the theme. My idea was to replace my own wallpaper with this one, only i simply cannot find where icewm stores the background, it is the same now for all themes. If anyone knows: i would be happy if it would be shared here.. tia. -- Have a nice day ;) -- Have a nice day ;) Oddball aka M9.

[opensuse] Is there a way to take a customized FF to another user?
by Oddball 01 Apr '09

01 Apr '09

Hi, As i have to install a lot lately, i also have to create new users. This means new /homes, with bold, plain ff. My question is how to 'import/export' or copy all the addons and settings to another user? Same question for TB, to save time installing/configuring and setting up accounts etc. tia.. -- Enjoy your time around, Oddball (M9.) (Now or never...)

Is that a bug that needs to be reported? resolv.conf is not part of the files handled by the prepare_chroot() function of /etc/init.d/ntp to initializes the chroot envirionment. And your report is the first I've seen. As a workaround you might add /etc/resolv.conf to NTPD_CHROOT_FILES of /etc/sysconfig/ntp. But I like to understand why resolv.conf is needed in your case but not in so many others. Yes, please file a bug report.

[opensuse] ssh problem
by Daniel Bauer 01 Apr '09

01 Apr '09

Hello, all of a sudden I cannot ssh connect to my providers webserver anymore, either as user, as root nor in a virtualbox/winXP/putty... There are some "funny" things: - I can ssh to other servers of the same provider, but not to "mine" - I can ssh from my Computer in Basel/Sitzerland to "my" server, but not from here in Barcelona/Spain The ISP - of course - says, the problem is on my side, but I can't find out anything... Can you help? OpenSuse 10.3. I attach a working and non-working "report" of the console dialog with verbose option below. I renamed known_hosts both in /root and /my-user-home (there is no known_hosts is /etc/ssh). No change. Dosn't work. Thanks for any hints.

[opensuse] mdraid 1 - is one driver primary for read/write, then sync mirrors?
by David C. Rankin 01 Apr '09

01 Apr '09

Listmates, Looking at hdparm -tT results for a Linux Software raid 1 array, I see some differences in the read performance that I don't know whether it is just individual drive difference or whether mdraid may have something to do with it. The mdraid 1 setup is on a pair of 750G Seagate drives: /dev/sdb: ST3750330AS: 34°C /dev/sdc: ST3750330AS: 36°C The raid1 devices are /dev/sdb1 and /dev/sdc1 which take up the entire disk on each. I don't know if there is a reason not to use the whole drive in the array, but the array is basically a temporary setup on my sons computer (with open SATA port) to throw the drives in to get a week or so of runtime on them before moving them over to a server. Checking read performance with hdparm of each individual drive and then of the array itself shows a small performance difference/drop for /dev/sdc: 02:11 KillerZ~> for i in sdb sdc md0; do sudo hdparm -tT /dev/$i; done /dev/sdb: Timing cached reads: 2130 MB in 2.00 seconds = 1064.71 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 328 MB in 3.01 seconds = 108.94 MB/sec /dev/sdc: Timing cached reads: 2088 MB in 2.00 seconds = 1044.08 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 292 MB in 3.02 seconds = 96.84 MB/sec /dev/md0: Timing cached reads: 2116 MB in 2.00 seconds = 1057.94 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 322 MB in 3.01 seconds = 107.13 MB/sec Thinking about it (dangerous thing to do) the questions arose of (1) how does mdraid actually work, is there a primary drive that is uses for read/write while the other is there for sync/backup? (2) If you can't write simultaneously to both at the same time using the same clock cycle (can you??) so somewhere it seems there must be a write/copy function in the mdraid scheme, and if the drives are slaved together by my the data in mdadm.conf, could the read performance difference being seen with /dev/sdc above be the result of mdraid function and not simply a drive variance? I haven't a clue, that's why I'm asking. And then there is the /dev/md0 hdparm performance which looks like it takes the better of the two performance stats, less a tiny amount of mdraid overhead. How does that work? Or is the difference there more of a simple weighted averaging of the drive performance between sdb and sdc?? Any software raid gurus willing to shed a bit of light on this situation. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[opensuse] Suse 11.1 Monitor Resolutions

I'm currently running Suse 11.0 using a monitor capable of 1440x900. But there is not support for 1440x900, so I have been running the monitor at 1280x768. Does Suse 11.1 support 1440x900 resolution?
