[opensuse] Mail server HowTo?
by Clayton 04 Aug '09

04 Aug '09

I've decided to tinker with setting up a mail server. I've never done this before... so it's all new to me. I have a domain I want to use. It's set up with DynDNS to forward all web traffic to my local computer (which has a dynamic IP that my ISP likes to change at random.. usually at least twice per day). The webserver side works great.... my sub domains are responding correctly etc. I've added their Mail Hop Relay service to one of my domains. This should in theory provide MX records, and according to their website things are setup correctly on their side... so now it comes down to me and my local settings... and this is where things are not working exactly right. I've read through and attempted to follow this HowTo: http://en.opensuse.org/Mail_server_HOWTO which in theory should allow me to set up postfix. After reading and following the steps (I think I got it right) I've tested locally by using mailx and: - sending a mail to a regular local user works, and I see the mail arrive in /var/spool/mail/. - sending mail to an alias does not work (I see the bounce in /var/spoo/mail) - sending mail to external email addresses... disappears, and never arrives (at least not yet) Is there some clearer documentation that anyone knows about, or some other info I can read up on? Or any obvious things that I may have missed? Port 25 on my router is forwarded... the Mail Relay is set to use port 25... not sure where to look next.

[opensuse] BASH: Shorter way to do [[ $line == QUIT ]] || [[ $line == Quit ]] || [[ $line == quit ]] && break ?
by David C. Rankin 03 Aug '09

03 Aug '09

Bash gurus, What is a shorter way to do multiple case insensitive tests on a string or variable that would accomplish this: [[ $line == QUIT ]] || [[ $line == Quit ]] || [[ $line == quit ]] && break Basically what I am looking for is some case insensitive way to test for quit or exit without having to define a test for each possible permutation without bringing in a big hammer like sed or the like. I am a bit confused on the test expansion but know things like $line == [Qq]uit won't work. I can do it in case: case $line in [Qq][Uu][Ii][Tt] ) break;; esac But that seems like a clunky use of case. Is there a better way? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[opensuse] GNOME run dialog and gnomesu
by Jim Henderson 02 Aug '09

02 Aug '09

I've got two systems here running different versions of openSUSE - one with 11.0 and one with 11.1. On 11.0, I find that if I launch wireshark using the run dialog (ie, ALT- F2), it's launched using gnomesu. On 11.1, it isn't launched using gnomesu. How does the run dialog determine whether to use gnomesu or not?

[opensuse] Kmix, YaST and an explotion
by Verner Kjærsgaard 01 Aug '09

01 Aug '09

hi list, - I'm digging deeper into my (no)sound problem which occured after some on-line autoupdate. - if I go into YaST and search for kmix, I see that 4.2.1-43.13 is installed but 4.2.1-43.14 is available. - if I select to update to this available version, YaST explodes in unfilled dependencies, it wants to DOWNgrade LOTS of packages. So i don't touch it. - eh....has anyone seen anything like this? Second question: I'd like to re-install all sound, I tried the hw/section of YaST, deleted all sound hw and re-fired YaST. It finds the sound hw just fine, but nothing works... Any ideas? -- ------------------------------ Med venlig hilsen/Best regards Verner Kjærsgaard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] is this a function of the OS or the CPU itself?
by Constantinos Maltezos 31 Jul '09

31 Jul '09

I think my computer just came out of the closet to me. The command `man man` works fine, but `man woman` produces: No manual entry for woman. I accept my computer for Who It Is, but I would like to understand better. Is this situation an affect of software or hardware? Not that I'll judge either way. And how should we tell its motherboard?

[opensuse] Reataining Multiple Kernels
by Lucky Leavell 31 Jul '09

31 Jul '09

I do much prefer OpenSuSE/SLES to other distros but must use Red Hat/CentOS/Fedora at work. There is one nice feature on those others I have been unable to figure out how to do in SuSE. When doing a kernel install, it retains the last 3 (configurable) kernels and makes entries for all of them in grub.conf. Today I did a kernel upgrade on my CentOS 5.3 desktop but it broke VMware so all I had to do was reboot selecting the last kernel known to work with VMware. I know they do it via yum which SuSE does not use. Is there a simple way to retain several kernel versions in OpenSuSE/SLES?

[opensuse] ATI video driver?
by Clayton 31 Jul '09

31 Jul '09

Ahhrrrgh. OK, does anyone have a copy of the older ATI video drivers that actually works? I'm getting so sick of this garbage card. To replace it though, I have to basically throw away the entire computer (small bookshelf computer with an onboard ATI x1200 and no room to put in another card). Using the latest Catalyst drivers from the repos works... kinda. Loads of problems and issues.. Flash video crashes any browser (exact same Flash version on a different computer is perfectly fine)... running XBMC causes the screen to strobe, and on and on. I've tried various Linux distros, all with the exact same results... WIndowsXP works fine... sigh... at least the hardware is not faulty (I assume since XP works fOK) When I ran this machine on an old 11.0 install it was OK.. things worked fine, but I was using an old ATI fglrx driver... which I don't have anymore. So is ti possible that someone here has one of those old ATI drivers kicking around from before ATI started breaking everything that they could send my way? or knows a location that I can DL from?
