[opensuse] Repair Broken SSH
by Andrew Joakimsen 25 Nov '10

25 Nov '10

I have a system with a broken installation of openssh, suddenly one day I can not use the scp command at all. I removed all config files relating to ssh and removed/reinstalled the openssh package, now besides the scp command being broken I can not even start the SSH service, it complains about the RSA keys are not generated. I don't care about the configuration or preserving anything. How can I restore SSH configuration to be exactly like it would be after a new installation of openSUSE? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Hey! There were complains about KDE4 and multihead support. Well, there is work going on in that area but nobody to test the code because the devs do not use multihead. http://aseigo.blogspot.com/2010/11/multihead-saga-continues.html The second part of the changes committed will be in KDE 4.6 beta 2 (http://techbase.kde.org/Schedules/KDE4/4.6_Release_Schedule) which you can get from the KDE repos. http://en.opensuse.org/index.php?title=KDE_repositories&stable=0&shownotice… Please test, if you are interested in KDE improving its multihead support.

[opensuse] Where did it come from?
by Stephen P. Molnar 24 Nov '10

24 Nov '10

OpenSuSE 11.2 on a 64bit AMD CPU I had not rebooted my system recently until just a few minutes ago. Much to my surpris the login sreen now has a Citadel service account, and root is no longer showing (although I can login as root, which is fortunate becasue a change I made to my user .bashrc necessitated the reboot so that I could correct the error - which I successfully did), but I digress. What I would like to know is where did the Citadel service account come from? I had never heard of Citadel until I googled it just now. Any insights to this will be most appreciated.

[opensuse] Non=generic icon in v11.3/kde4 desktop folder?
by Stan Goodman 24 Nov '10

24 Nov '10

I've placed in the Desktop Folder a link to a frequently used Java app. KDE assigns to it a generic icon with a shapely but uninformative large question mark. I have other icons, in various formats, suitable for use with this app. Is there a way to induce kde4 to use it? There is a related matter that I would like to understand: In v11.1/kde3, most, but not all, of the icons shown for the issues of Scientific American that I keep in a folder were mini-images of the respective covers; I have no idea why, if kde knew how to make some icons in this way, if failed to do so for others and had to use a generic icon. In v11.3/kde4, ALL the icons are Acrobat symbols (these are PDF files), with no cover images at all. Can this be remedied? -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Appletalk and more than one Linux box
by Andre Truter 24 Nov '10

24 Nov '10

Hallo, We have 2 Macs and a number of OpenSUSE boxes on our network. I have started to set up TimeMachine on the Macs to use the OpenSUSE backup server as destination using AFP (netatalk). That works fine so far. But, I would also like to access certain folders on the other Linux desktops from the Macs. The same username is used on the Linux boxes. As soon as I set up natatalk on another Linux box and I want to connect to it from the Mac, it seems to get confused. The mac shows both Linux machines, but it will show the shares of the first box it connects to for both of them. Example: Obelix (openSUSE 11.3 backup system) AFP shares: - obelix_andre_timemachine - obelix_willa_timemachine Vitalstatistix (openSUSE 11.3 dev workstation) AFP shares: - vitalstatistix_andre - vitalstatistix work So, if I first connect to Obelix and then to Vitalstatistix, both of them show obelix_andre_timemachine and obelix_willa_timemachine and vice versa if I connect to Vitalstatistix first. Any idea how I need to set up netatalk so that the Mac will be able to access the shares on both systems? Or is there something I need to set up on Apple? I will post to the Apple forums too Thanks -- Andre Truter | Software Consultant | Registered Linux user #185282 Tel: 082 785 7615 | http://www.trusoft.co.za ~ If at first you don't succeed; call it version 1.0 ~ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Best App to use to grab video from DV camera to hard drive?
by David C. Rankin 24 Nov '10

24 Nov '10

Guys, Just looking to see if someone has a favorite app that will get the video from your digital video camera to your hard drive. The connection is over 1394 firewire. I would love something that works from the CLI that is scriptable. I don't need the full video editing suite for just grabbing the raw video. I'm just looking for something where I can load the tape into the camera and do something like type: ~> dldVideo and go do something else for an hour, come back, change tapes and: ~> dldVideo again.... Anything better than dvgrab? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

I wonder about the intent behind the inclusion of these two paragraphs in the announcement. Paragraph 1 (of course hope springs eternal...), paragraph 2 is just a blanket summation.

I've ended up just sticking with hand-written makefiles for now. I worked through Philipp's autoscan/configure.ac approach, but ran into a few issues due to still being on an 11.0 box. I haven't had time to further chase those issues on 11.3 yet. With your makefile suggestions, I ended up with the following that works great. It's hard to justify a lot more time exploring/troubleshooting automagic tools until the project grows a bit. With things this simple, the simple hand-rolled makefiles work fine.

[opensuse] LIRC locks up openSUSE 11.3 with hard freeze
by Khanh Tran 22 Nov '10

22 Nov '10

I just installed a fresh copy of openSUSE 11.3 (32-bit) to debug my issues with my Zotac ION Atom system freezing. It looks to be directly related to LIRC (and possibly due to the nomodeset kernel requirements of the nvidia driver). I have a stable system until I run and use a lirc client like irw or whatever. After a few minutes of LIRC data, the box freezes, locks up and needs a hard reboot. Anyone? I'm just about fresh out of ideas and google terms.

[opensuse] 200 line kernel patch!!

Hello, i just tried out the 200 line kernel patch everyone is talking about and does it make a big difference or what? i can actually do a make -j64 on the linux kernel source code,compile firefox and browse the web seamlessly . my question is will a patched kernel be found in opensuse repos anytime soon or are we stuck with manually patching/compiling kernels? for those of you who haven't read about it yet here is the original one: http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/10/19/123 and here is the one i used which is a later version: http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/10/21/49 i shouldn't go without mentioning that when i run make -j64 and all that other stuff my system ended up freezing. i'm assuming it's because i was out of memory but it could be that the patch i used was buggy. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

by Lance Drager 22 Nov '10

Is anyone else having trobule with acrobat reader on opensuse 11.2? The executable is /usr/bin/acroread It doesn't start, either by clicking on a pdf document or by invoking /usr/bin/acroread from the command line? Is this a configuration problem, or an Adobe problem? Thanks. Lance Drager

I know it's used for fileserver clustering, but can I have a HA PDC using that feature?. I've seen from configuration examples that with ctdb all the cluster members use the same netbios name, I wonder how does this affect PDC functions...

[opensuse] 11.3 wifi card
by Jim Sabatke 21 Nov '10

21 Nov '10

Would someone please offer me knowledge about wifi cards or USB devices that are KNOWN to work under 11.3. The D-Link DWA-130 is supposed to work according to multiple sites, but they offer conflicting setups. If someone has actual successful experience, I would like to hear about it.

[opensuse] mingw gsl install - works & builds too
by David Rankin 21 Nov '10

21 Nov '10

Just a footnote to the thread on makefiles. I installed mingw and msys on vista to see if the cross-compile would produce a working windows executable from the same linux source I have been working with. It did without a hitch. The External library install (gsl) is quite simple. You simply add the includes, shared libs, aclocal info into the existing mingw environment in their usual places and then just build as you would on Linux. The only difference is your executable now has a .exe appended to it :p 21:31 alchemy:~/test> make -f Makefile.sim gcc -O2 -Wall -W -Wno-unused -c -o sim_orbm.o sim_orbm.c gcc -O2 -Wall -W -Wno-unused -c -o fn_const.o fn_const.c gcc -O2 -Wall -W -Wno-unused -c -o fn_state.o fn_state.c gcc -O2 -Wall -W -Wno-unused -c -o isolv_state.o isolv_state.c gcc -o orbs sim_orbm.o fn_const.o fn_state.o isolv_state.o -Wl -lgslcblas -lgsl -lm Info: resolving _gsl_root_fsolver_brent by linking to __imp__gsl_root_fsolver_brent (auto-import) c:/mingw/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/4.5.0/../../../../mingw32/bin/ld.exe: warning: auto-importing has been activated without --enable-auto-import specified on the command line.
