[opensuse] avahi-daemon errors
by Dave Howorth 21 Oct '10

21 Oct '10

My logs are full of messages from avahi-daemon. Most are like this: Oct 21 15:46:56 scop4 avahi-daemon[5086]: Invalid query packet. but some are like this: Oct 21 15:42:38 scop4 avahi-daemon[5086]: Invalid response packet from host 10.2.0.7. and there are other even more esoteric ones. Google tells me that this problem is affecting a lot of people. There seem to be several different issues: -1- total uselessness of messages without IP addresses -2- practical uselessness of messages on a network with lots of machines where you don't have control over what they run -3- some messages caused by avahi-daemon not understanding more recent Mac protocol versions. Is there some recommended advice to deal with these? Cheers, Dave -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Firewall 2xISP Failover Config - Please Help
by Andrei Verovski 21 Oct '10

21 Oct '10

Hi, folks, I have SuSE Linux server which acts as 2-interface router & firewall with firehol package for firewalling setup. Now we would like to add backup net line to another ISP via third net interface. so if connection to ISP#1 fail, all traffic will be automatically switched to ISP#2. Once ISP#1 becomes available again, firewall/router should be switched back. Anyone have any clue how to do it with firehol ? Checking net connections probably have to be done via cron script and 1 min interval. If there are no turnkey solution with firehol I can switch to another firewall front-end, its not a big problem. Thanks in advance for any suggestion(s). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] [opensuse-security] Can't do ssh as user
by Carlos E. R. 21 Oct '10

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 hi, I can't do ssh as user from inside gnome, it works from VT. To the root account works, too. cer@Telcontar:~> ssh localhost Received disconnect from ::1: 2: Too many authentication failures for cer Fails locally or to my laptop.

[opensuse] Where is kdm theme selection in kde4?
by David C. Rankin 21 Oct '10

21 Oct '10

Guys, Where do you change the kdm theme in kde4? In kde3 you have kdm theme manager. I've looked though that un-holy mess of kde4 system settings in 4.5.2-2 and I can't find a way to change it.

I burned them on my old desktop, the one that I rebuilt. It had a Pentium 4 and 4mb ram. I burned them on 11.1 suse using k3b. This was the same box that I burned the 11.1 and 11.2 dvd's on.

[opensuse] Defunct Packman Repository

I had packman.linuxheads.com as the repository for packman. In yast2 I have changed to the new repository from the list given. But when I start yast2 software manager it sits for ages still trying to get connected to packman.linuxheads.com until it timeouts then proceeds to correctly use the new settings. Where is it getting this old info from? Dave Cotton -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] OpenOffice doc file question
by Roger Oberholtzer 20 Oct '10

20 Oct '10

I have a Word .doc file that OpenOffice 3.2 (openSUSE 11.2) will not open. It claims that it is 'corrupt', and offers to repair it. But the repair fails.

[opensuse] Any samba guru around?
by Ciro Iriarte 20 Oct '10

20 Oct '10

Hi, I'm contemplating a new project setting a Samba Domain with many flavors of WinXP and Win7. The sane approach would be to unify all the clients with the latest service pack en each case. I'm wondering if this days the PDC/BDC model is still the only way to go. I'm planning to install 2 nodes on the main office with LDAP multimaster replication and one LDAP slave on each remote office. On top of that I'll be setting Samba3 PDC + BDC in the main office and a BDC in each remote office. I've read something about clustering with ctdb, is this a master/master alternative to the PDC/BDC model or it only works for clustering fileservers?

[opensuse] kdm: X server for display :0 terminated unexpectedly

I have an IBM Thinkpad R51e with a fresh install of 11.3 plus KDE 4.5 stable - after figured out to use "nodemodeset", the system at first ran fairly stable, but then started ending my session at seemngly arbitrary times.
