[opensuse] Thunderbird imap cx to Exchange broken; won't subscribe to folders
by Dan Goodman 14 Jul '09

14 Jul '09

I am completely stymied. I have Thunderbird for a client 2.0.18 something...connected via imap to our company's Exchange mail server. It had been working fine until recently, when I deleted a LOT of old email. After hours and days working with our mail admins, and after uninstalling and reinstalling Thunderbird a couple of times, plus a lot of work on the Exchange side, I was able to get connected for the first time in days (a clunky web interface worked all along, but no folders, etc.). Now, although I have the inbox and trash back, every time I try to subscribe to folders I have on the server, Thunderbird closes itself the minute I click subscribe. Tried deleting the 65K emails I had in trash, but still no luck. Anyone run into anything like this? Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance. Dan PS, I had had MozillaThunderbird-2.0.22-something, but when I uninstalled it the first time, it reverted to 2.0.18-something, a correctly x86_64 version. Don't know why, but my problems predated this. Originally couldn't log in with TBird, now just can't get my folders.

[opensuse] rescuing 11.1
by jdd 14 Jul '09

14 Jul '09

Hello, My hosting provider allows me to install openSUSE 11.1, fine :-). However, as always, given what I am :-), I launched the firewall without opening the ssh port... usually, it's not a issue. I ask for a reboot on rescue system (remember, It's not my home but a server far away), from there I mount the drive, bind the necessary folders (this is openSUSE special and unpleasant): mount /dev/hdxy /mnt mount -o bind /proc /mnt/proc mount -o bind /sys /mnt/sys mount -o bind /dev /mnt/dev chroot /mnt and then I can launch YaST and fix anything. This time, no avail... YaST menu launch, but no of the modules. neither with "yast module" syntax (simply crashes or stop silently). I had to manually remove SuseFirewall2 from /etc/init.d/rc3.d to be able to login on the server. * could opening ssh be default on SuSEFirewall2?? * what is the change in 11.1? I did this without problem with previous openSUSE * I couldn't manage to open the ssh port from the SuSEFirewall2 config file 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

[opensuse] Printer cups, pam and samba authentication problems
by Marc Chamberlin 14 Jul '09

14 Jul '09

I guess I must be missing something so need some wonderful guru to bail me out... I am back at one of my most abhorrent tasks at the moment, trying to set up computers around my home/small business network to use a printer attached to a Windoz box. Every time I have to do this, or something similar, it usually involves several days of debugging and lots of cursing at all the incomprehensible layers of security and obtuse or lack of documentation that goes with it. And once again I am stumped... So to boil all this down to a simple example, I have a printer attached to a Windoz box and all of my Windoz machines can use it just fine. All my computers are attached to a simple single network. Trouble is that for Linux, I have to supply CUPS with a special printer driver, from Turboprint, to handle the formatting of data before passing it on to the Windoz machine for printing out. So I have one SuSE 11.0 machine acting as my print server, and I WANT all my other SuSE machines to send their print requests to this central SuSE print server. All are running either SuSE11.0 or 11.1 with KDE 3.5 (I tried KDE4.0 and had so many other problems that I had to give up on it.) The print server has CUPS set up an running, and it alone can successfully send documents to the Windoz computer and print things out on the Windoz printer. So I know I do not have a network/firewall issue between the SuSE printer server itself and the Windoz box. For all the rest of my SuSE machines, I have tried and tried and tried to use Yast to configure each one to "Do all my printing directly via one remote CUPS server" and when configured and testing the remote IPP access, I get a report that there it is successful in connecting to the CUPS server. To bad that YaST does not supply an actual print a test page button for this mode however!!!! That is the real proof in the pudding that one has successfully set things up, but apparently some brain dead designer dropped the ball on that one... (It does supply a print test page button for local CUPS servers, so the designer(s) of YaST got it half right at least) So next I go and try to use an application to print something out.. Zilch! nadda, no joy.. Looking in the cups error.log file all I get is brain dead message telling me that an authentication failure occurred. HUMP! More hours of investigation later I try to use the KDE configuration manager, on one of the client machines, to see if KDE is somehow interfering with my ability to print out remotely from my SuSE machines, and when I use it's Print Test Page VIOLA! up pops a dialog box asking me for the password for ROOT!!! So I give it the Root's password for the SuSE printer server and VIOLA! Out comes a test page from the Windoz machine's attached printer!!! Another experiment revels that this dialog box only comes up when I place the KDE configuration manager in administrator mode. And a third experiment revels that it ONLY works for ROOT and not for any other valid users (including myself) of the SuSE computer acting as a printer server. WELL GOOD GRIEF!!! This seems to indicate there may be a massive design flaw! If the CUPS server is asking for a user name and password to authenticate a remote request to print something, THEN WHY OH WHY AM I NOT BEING PRESENTED WITH THIS SAME DIALOG BOX EVERY TIME, from any application, to give the cups server a valid user name and password??? What is worse though, is that apparently ONLY ROOT is a valid user of the remote CUPS server, authorized with the remote ROOT's password, to print things out! I search for answers on the server side as well and my research revealed that some monstrosity called PAM is SUPPOSED to be handling the authentication processes. But I think it is ONLY the designers and perhaps someone with a PhD who will be capable of understanding and configuring that mess without receiving outside help. My attempt to do so only left me with a splitting headache! Whatever happened to the KISS principal in user interfaces and client/server model view control frameworks? Object Oriented design of architectures? Use case studies? Nowhere in Yast or the KDE manager, on either the server or client side, can I find a place to enter valid user name/password(s) for using a remote CUPS server, nor is there anyplace in the CUP'S web administrator, and if the apps themselves are not asking for it, via a common dialog utility, then HOW IN THE WORLD AM I SUPPOSE TO AUTHENTICATE MYSELF TO A REMOTE CUPS SERVER? I have tried other approaches as well, such as setting up my SuSE boxes to connect to the Samba server on the SuSE printer server, and have Samba handle to authentication/connection to CUPs but nada, zilch, and no joy there either. FRICK! WHAT A MESS! To make all this even harder, is that there is very little, easy to understand, documentation about the underlying models of how authentication takes place, how Samba, CUPs, and PAM interplay and it appears each is following an authentication model that is uniquely it's own.. And I cannot find any diagnostic tools anywhere for following the authentication process... Nor is there much documentation on how Yast and KDE work to set up printers.. For example, 80% of the time clicking on the help button in the printer setup menus of YaST, results in a blank help dialog coming up! So God only knows what some of the settings actually do or mean! .... So like I said, I am at wits end and need a kind guru to help bail me out! Any takers? Many thanks in advance and sorry if I sound a bit frustrated.. I HATE setting up printers, firewalls and networks in general, regardless of whether it is Windoz, Linux, Macs or Unix OS's; it ALWAYS turns out to be far more difficult than it should be, mostly due to all these layers and layers of obscure complex security features... Might be a good thing to have good security, but IMHO this growing incoherent design is breaking the usability of SuSE/Linux. I OUGHT to be the one in command of these machines but right now I feel like I am a General over a battalion of anarchist mutineers!

[opensuse] Using Thunderbird For 2 Email Accounts One Imap Server
by Michael S. Dunsavage 14 Jul '09

14 Jul '09

I pull my email to my ISP email and another email account to the same Imap server, but in thunderbird, I'd like to use the imap to be able to send out via either my isp outgoing and local outgoing. For instance. I have email that goes to mikesd1(a)verizon.net , which I get my opensuse mail to. If I want to reply to that using my verizon email I can hit reply and select the verzion outgoing. However if I get email to my mikesd(a)mydomain.com, I want to be able to write an email and send that via my domain.com server. Thunderbird does not allow me to add multiple outgoing servers to one account, I don't think. But both emails are pulled via fetchmail and delivered via imap. Evolution has the ability to add different outoing servers, but evolution has filtering issues that are annoying me. -- Michael S.

[opensuse] A desktop machine selector, one for the weekend :-)
by Verner Kjærsgaard 14 Jul '09

14 Jul '09

Dear list and listmates :-) - this just came up... - what if one has a LARGE number of openSuSE11.n virtualized desktop machines, we're talking thousands... - all in a clusted vmware environment, the machines are/will be created more or less on the fly. Some vmware professionals take care of this. Problem: Each user has his own virtualized desktop machine. So; when 'Peter' logs in, through some mechanism he needs to be directed/given access to his very own virtual machine. He will access the desktop of the machine using XDCMP or (better) FreeNX. It's not a load balancer we're looking for here, but rather a 'selector'. Any ideas? Anyhow, thank you in advance for any comments and thoughts! Best regards, Verner Kjærsgaard Denmark.

[opensuse] kde4 speed tips - got any?
by David C. Rankin 14 Jul '09

14 Jul '09

Listmates, After 2 months working with kde 4.3 beta 2, one thing that is apparent is that it feels slow compared to kde3. Menu crispness, start time, etc. are all very sluggish compared to kde3. I rarely use kde3 anymore, but when I do start kde3, I'm amazed at how fast it is compared to kde4. This isn't because my laptop is just slow. AMD Turion-58, 4G of RAM, SATA II drive, the hardware should be fine. Start time on kde3 on this box is just about 7 seconds (login to desktop loaded). KDE4 is well over 25 seconds to accomplish the same task. Are there any tips for speeding kde4 up? We are now at 4.2.96 from factory x86_64. Sven, etc. do you see any speed improvements for kde4 coming? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[opensuse] Build service repository populatiry measure

I know such things do not mean anything in the big picture, but I am curious if the repository download mechanism on the OBS tracks how many times an RPM is downloaded. I am thinking more in terms of a trigger to perhaps announce the existence a repository with relatively little access. It could also trigger having an oft accessed repository added to the list of repositories one gets when adding a Community repository in YaST.

[opensuse] How to configure konqueror to show KB and MB instead of KiB and MiB??
by David C. Rankin 13 Jul '09

13 Jul '09

Listmates, KDE4 konqueror is displaying size in KiB and MiB instead of the traditional KB and MB. Where can I change this so I can view the size in KB & MB? The 'i' means nothing to my use of konqueror, but it is distracting to the eye to now have a whole new useless column of 'i's streaming down the page. The view is a whole lot cleaner without them. I'm sure somebody cares whether the file is 41.6 KiB instead of 41.6 KB, but I would be startled if the percentage of people that do exceeds 1%. Where is the setting controlled? I have looked through Control Center Country/Region & Language and cannot find where to change this. Thanks. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[opensuse] 10.3 source repository
by Dave Howorth 13 Jul '09

13 Jul '09

I'm not having much luck with my 10.3 machine. I ignored my tomcat update issue, since I don't use it and nobody replied to my mail. So far the sky hasn't fallen. Now I'm back in the land of the source repository! The application I'm trying to build wants header files for antlr. I have antlr installed from the standard repository and I then added the source repository using the community repositories page in yast. Then I remembered that yast software management is broken wrt to sources in this release. So, I found a page with advice and executed the following commands: # rpm -qi antlr-2.7.6-114 ... Source RPM: antlr-2.7.6-114.src.rpm ... # zypper source-install antlr-2.7.6-114.src.rpm * Reading repository 'Suse non-OSS' cache * Reading repository 'Main Repository (OSS)' cache * Reading repository 'Packman Repository' cache * Reading repository 'Main Repository (Sources)' cache * Reading repository 'openSUSE-10.3-Updates' cache Source package 'antlr-2.7.6-114.src.rpm' not found. Now looking at <http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/10.3/repo/src-oss/suse/src/> I see that it contains antlr-2.7.6-114.src.rpm but looking at yast's list of repository details it says that the source repository is: <http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/10.3/repo/src-oss/suse/> So is that wrong? Should there be a 'src' on the end of the repository name? If so, why did the yast community repository page not know?

[opensuse] Digikam printing

13 Jul '09

Using: openSuse 11.1, Linux version 2.6.27.23-0.1-default KDE 4.1.3 Digikam 0.10.0-beta6 The only reason now i don't use digikam is that it doesn't print at all. Many times i tried to find the reason, but i can't find. I reinstalled digikam_kde4 and started it in a fresh user-environment but the problem stays. The problem: After starting digikambrowser and clicking on a picture I get the view-area but no picture. After entering the edit-area i get the picture and i can do everything with it except printing. Doing a -file -printimage absolutely nothing happens. In the view-area there is also no printwizzard in the image menu. All my other applications are printing correct only Digikam doesn't. On a free partition i have installed OpenSuse 4.2 milestone 2 Digikam prints correct there. Does anybody have any idea what can be wrong ?

by Roger Oberholtzer 13 Jul '09

13 Jul '09

I have a questions about the MinGW cross compiler support in openSUSE. There are two repositories that have a cross compiler available: /repositories/CrossToolchain:/mingw/openSUSE_11.1/ and /repositories/windows:/mingw:/win32/openSUSE_11.1/ They both contain a cross compiler (compiler executes on openSUSE to make Windows executables). However, the one in the former is older. I think it is the one that is packaged with openSUSE. OTOH, the later seems to be much more active, providing not only the cross compiler tools, but also many libraries that have been compiled for Windows (see the noarch directory). In fact, this is a real useful thing for those of us who want to develop as much a possible on SUSE, but must provide Windows versions of things, even if under protest. I guess this is an unsung use of the Build Service. The later repository is also more actively maintained. So, is there any reason the former repository is the one delivered with openSUSE instead of the later. Or is it just that the later is too new? (This question brings up a question of old for which I may have missed the answer: How does one find out who maintains/manages a repository so they can be contacted with questions such as these?) -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.

[opensuse] PackageKit install issue
by Roger Oberholtzer 13 Jul '09

13 Jul '09

For the past few weeks, I have been getting this when adding security updates to my system (via YaST): libpackagekit-glib10-0.3.11-1.14.1.i586 requires PackageKit = 0.3.11, but this requirement cannot be provided uninstallable providers: PackageKit-0.3.11-1.13.1.i586[openSUSE:11.1:Update] PackageKit-0.3.11-1.12.i586[repo-oss] [ ] deinstallation of libpackagekit-glib10-0.3.11-1.14.1.i586 [ ] do not install PackageKit-0.4.5-2.31.i586 [ ] Ignore some dependencies of libpackagekit-glib10 I googled a bit and mainly found the SUSE announcement of a security update to PackageKit (http://www.net-security.org/advisory.php?id=9891), which is what I think is what should be installed here. I have been choosing 'do not install', expecting the issue to be related to repository syncing. But some time has now passed, so I think the issue is something else. Oddly, I saw a similar complaint for Fedora, but the various fixes suggested there involved removing packages that do not have installed. And using those suggestions is like taking a friends extra medication because you have similar complaints and do not want to go to the doctor. Anyone else seen this? Better yet: anyone know the cure? -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.

[opensuse] How to find out which process is accessing the disk?
by Marcelo Magno T. Sales 13 Jul '09

13 Jul '09

Hello, I have OpenSuSE 11.1 installed and very often, after the machine is idle for a few hours, some process starts using the disk very heavily. When I get back to the computer it is almost unusable, everything is freezing and lagging while the disk continues working heavily. After a few minutes it gets better, but something still continues using the disk. I don't have beagle installed. How do I find out which process is accessing the disk when this happens?
