[opensuse] zeroconf/avahi and firewall on OpenSuSE11.1
by Boris Epstein 02 Jul '09

02 Jul '09

Hi everyone, Just wondering if anyone has figured out how to allow avahi to work properly while running a firewall. I have tried enabling MDNS/MDNS Responder ports and various other ports - that does not seem to be working. MDNS on top of that uses a strange broadcast address of 224.0.0.251. That may also be comlicating things further. Thanks. Boris. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Update Package Failures - md5sums?

[opensuse] Wireless IFUP
by Mark Misulich 02 Jul '09

02 Jul '09

-- Mark Misulich <munguanaweza(a)gmail.com> Hi, when I set up my Opensuse 11.1 about a year ago, I couldn't get the wireless to work with the IFUP method. I could only get it to work with knetworkmanager. I configured IFUP the same as I had done in 10.1, 2, 3 and 11.0. I tried multiple times to verify the ESSID and WPA passcode, but it never worked. The other day I just decided to try IFUP again, and it worked without any configuration. Then, I switched from KDE 3.5 to KDE 4.3 desktop, and it didn't work anymore on IFUP. I had to use knetworkmanager to get a connection. I switched back to KDE 3.5, and it didn't work again. I had to use knetworkmanager to get a connection, and this is the present state of the wireless. IFUP refuses to work. Anyone have any idea why this is acting this way?

[opensuse] firewall settings for printer browsing
by Boris Epstein 02 Jul '09

02 Jul '09

Hello listmates, Just wondering if anybody knows off the top of their head which services I need to allow in my firewall in order to allow my OpenSuSE 11.1 system to find printers on the local network. I tried Zeroconf but no luck thus far. Thanks. Boris. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Where do i go to reseach or get help with a perl issue concerning Net::DNS:Resolver ?
by Per Jessen 02 Jul '09

02 Jul '09

The subject says it all - except that I am a 99% newbie when it comes to perl. Net::DNS::Resolver is causing a problem wrt /etc/hosts, and I need to ask someone who knows about these things. Rather than poking the author directly, are there any useful mailing lists out there? Yes, I've looked at http://lists.cpan.org/, but it's about five miles long. /Per -- Per Jessen, Zürich (21.7°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] glibc compatibility
by Ansgar Esztermann 02 Jul '09

02 Jul '09

Hello everyone, we're experiencing segfaults in binaries created on openSUSE 10.2 when run on 11.1 systems. These occur in getpwuid(), so I am wondering what the expected compatibilty between glibc versions is -- shouldn't the linker complain if the user tries to execute a binary that's too old? When compiling on 11.1 and executing on 10.3, the linker gives an error: : lee$; /usr/local/gromacs/405/fftw312-gcc412/bin/pdb2gmx -f 1UBI.pdb /usr/local/gromacs/405/fftw312-gcc412/bin/pdb2gmx: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.7' not found (required by /usr/local/gromacs/405/ fftw312-gcc412/bin/pdb2gmx) A quick check seems to indicate that 11.0 will run binaries compiled on either 10.2 or 11.1, so we have some leeway. Is there any hope to compile a binary that will run on both 10.3 and 11.1?
