[opensuse] Preserving LVM after after os reload
by Sherin George 22 Oct '10

22 Oct '10

Hi guys, I have two disk one with OS and a second disk containing an LVM. I would like to OS reload the server without losing LVM. I heard that LVM is self sustaining. Is that true ? Should I backup something(using vgcfgbackup & vgexport ?) to get LVM running after os reload. Thanks in advance. -- Sherin -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Fwd: [opensuse] ACER 3820TG - Network card init very slow
by Shaffin Bhanji 22 Oct '10

22 Oct '10

I did confirm that its not the DHCP that is taking long - I can also that that as soon as I see the NetworkManager applet shows up (after 5-6 minutes) on the desktop that DHCP takes less than a second.

[opensuse] "Accessing the Package Management Failed" in YaST
by Dave Howorth 21 Oct '10

21 Oct '10

I'm getting a message "Accessing the Package Management Failed" whenever I try to start online update in yast. It tells me the pid of a non-existent packagekitd process which it claims is holding a lock. What do I need to do to recover? And what might have caused the problem? Thanks, Dave Oh yes, it's 11.2 64-bit -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Pine running on the laptop, via imap, sees all the folders in the desktop machine (the one that runs dovecot). Why can not Thunderbird see the same?

[opensuse] "System Services (Runlevel)" does not list any services on 11.3
by Jochen Hayek 21 Oct '10

21 Oct '10

I can see this phenomenon on two systems running 11.3 . In simple mode and also in expert mode. What could be the reason for that? I mean, my /etc/init.d/rc?.d are not empty. So what software is parsing these directories and thinks, they are empty? Or aren't these directories used any longer in 11.3 ?

[opensuse] Trying Dovecot...
by Carlos E. R. 21 Oct '10

21 Oct '10

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I have setup Dovecot (openSUSE 11.2) to be able to access my local mail store from several mail clients and two computers. The problem is, that I can see all my mail from Pine, but not from Thunderbird... Thunderbird only sees Inbox and Trash. perhaps because it tried to create those two. It does see the contents of Trash. With Pine, local or remote, I can see all the folders. The setting is: mail_location = mbox:~/Mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u ...as ~/Mail/* is where my mail exist in mbox format, many files and directories. Alpine sees it all, no problem there. Thunderbird is the problem. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

[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
