[opensuse] Serial to USB adaptor
by Stan Goodman 08 Dec '10

08 Dec '10

I am looking on ebay at a serial-to-usb adapter to use with a trackball that has a serial connector on its cable. This thing comes with a CD for Windows. Does anyone know if this is something I can use on a Linux machine? What would I need to have to use it? -- 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] konsole - scripting ?
by Per Jessen 07 Dec '10

07 Dec '10

I like to use the KDE konsole on my servers, it's a really convenient tool. However, I'd prefer not to have to install all the KDE and X stuff, but as far as I can tell, that means no Konsole - even if I could build it as a stand-alone, I'd still need lost of X-stuff (presumably). So here is the question - is there a way of running/configuring/ scripting konsole locally on my workstation, but have it behave as if it was running off a remote server? That is primarily this behaviour: start konsole for server#1, automatic ssh to user@server#1. For every new tab opened with Ctrl-Shift-N, also automagically ssh user@server1. start konsole for server#2, automatic ssh to user@server#2. For every new tab opened with Ctrl-Shift-N, also automagically ssh user@server2. etc. I often have 9 or 10 such Konsoles running, but remotely. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (7.2°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] multiple kernel versions - how to?
by Istvan Gabor 07 Dec '10

07 Dec '10

Hello: I have openSUSE 11.2. In an earlier version - can't remember which one - it was possible to install different kernel versions (same flavor but different version numbers) parallel . I can't find out how to do it in 11.2 yast software manager. When I choose a different kernel version number for installation yast forces the remove the installed version (ie. forces update), but I want to keep that version as well. How can I do it, possibly in yast? Thanks, Istvan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] eGroupware - Version 1.8 has been released. Update from 1.6 -> 1.8 is painless.
by David C. Rankin 06 Dec '10

06 Dec '10

All, I don't know how many of you use eGroupware, but the 1.8 branch has been out since September. The update is painless. Here are a few notes from from the update. Just make sure you have the pdo_sqlite module enabled (which you should by default). The easiest update is just to move your current install to a new folder: cd /srv/www/htdocs mv egroupware egroupware_16 Then just checkout the new version from svn: svn checkout \ http://svn.egroupware.org/egroupware/branches/1.8/aliases/default . (the '.' is required) Then just: (1) copy your header.inc.php from egroupware_16 to egroupware there is one new check included around the 'ob_start()' function in the 1.8 header.inc.php. Just make the following addition (in context) if (substr($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'],-7) != 'dav.php') // dont do it for webdav/groupdav, as we can not savely switch it off again { ob_start(); // to prevent error messages to be send before our headers } (2) make sure the egroupware/setup directory is writeable by the web server (chown wwwrun:www egroupware/setup) (3) then just point your browser to http://yourserver/egroupware/setup and let it update the mysql database and then 'check installation' to see if there are any other changes you need (jpgraph install will be needed for gant charts). Other than that, your done. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[opensuse] How to find list of hosts on local subnet?
by David C. Rankin 05 Dec '10

05 Dec '10

Guys, What would I use to get a list of hosts on the local subnet aside from dumping the forward zone in bind or doing a ping -c .1 subnet.1-254? I want to find something I can call from a script to return the list to either a single variable or an array. I'm open to anything, but would prefer a BASH or c solution. -- David C.
