[opensuse] Dolphin doesn't exit?
by jsa 27 Nov '10

27 Nov '10

Dolphin Version 1.5.9 Using KDE Development Platform 4.5.80 (4.6 Beta1) <<<<--------BETA I've noticed that Dolphin, once started and exited will not start again. As root, dolphin process exits within a second after closing the window (by any normal means), but as a regular user the process hangs around forever after the window is closed. Any attempt to restart dolphin again after closing the GUI will start another process, but will never show the window. If you leave the first dolphin process running, you can start as many additional ones as you wish, but close the last window and you get no additional dolphin launches till you kill off that lingering process. If started from a console you see this: jsa@poulsbo:~> /usr/bin/dolphin kde(9455): Communication problem with "dolphin" , it probably crashed. Error message was: "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply" : " "Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken." " If you kill the original dolphin process you can start a new one. -- Explain again the part about rm -rf / -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Oh my Gawd, Kmail Migration goes Berserk
by jsa 26 Nov '10

26 Nov '10

On upgrading to KDE 4.6 beta 1 the Kmail migration tool decided to migrate 5 Gmail accounts with huge amounts of archived mail. Swamped my internet connection for 20 minutes. All of this without so much as a "by you leave". -- Explain again the part about rm -rf / -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

The issue was me :-( After checking the log I found out that the module wasn't successfully built. So I download again git clone http://git.plugable.com/webdav/udlfb/ and git clone http://git.plugable.com/webdav/xf-video-udlfb/ reinstall xorg-x11-sdk, and rebuild the module. Also I add in section "Files" in my xorg.conf ModulePath "/usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/drivers" ModulePath "/usr/local/lib" Maybe I should blog about this one.

[opensuse] Samba4 AD on openSUSE 11.3
by Adam Tauno Williams 26 Nov '10

26 Nov '10

I'm trying to setup a fully-functional AD server on openSUSE 11.3 (Samba4). It works pretty well so far. I had to build an RPM of Bind 9.7.2 with GSSAPI support. <https://build.opensuse.org/project/show?project=home%3Awhitemice% 3Asamba4> The current issue is I also need NTP 4.2.5 compiled with --enable-ntp-signd. Curious if anyone is are of good NTP packages in some repo. Anyone aware of Samba4 packages; currently I'm using a self-compiled [not packages] samba-4.0.0alpha13. -- Adam Tauno Williams <awilliam(a)whitemice.org> LPIC-1, Novell CLA <http://www.whitemiceconsulting.com> OpenGroupware, Cyrus IMAPd, Postfix, OpenLDAP, Samba -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] xterm tab completion behavior
by Alex Angerhofer 26 Nov '10

26 Nov '10

Dear List, I have recently installed opensuse 11.3 with kde on a new-built system. Somehow my terminal settings got messed up. When I type a command in xterm there appears a little white box at the bottom with the characters as they are typed.rather than after the command prompt. I'd rather see the characters in the actual xterm window than in the box. When I try to use tab completion it does not follow expected behavior, i.e., it does not complete what it should but rather gives me a list of possible completions none of which contain what I want. For example, I occasionally use acroread. Rather than type the whole command I used to be able to type "acr" and use tab completion to finish the command. If I typed "ac" nothing would happen because there would be some other command starting with the same letters. Now in the console, when I type "acr" and try to use tab completion I get the following choices from the console, none of which contains "acroread" : 1. AC 2. ace 3. acer 4. ACL 5. ACM 6. acre 7. ACS 8. act 9. air 0. Apr AR arc. If I do the same from whithin an xterm window I get the completion "acre" Needless to say, this behavior drives me nuts. How can I get the old behavior back? Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. Best regards, Alex. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[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
