[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.

[opensuse] software package version numbers vs build dates?
by dwgallien 05 Dec '10

05 Dec '10

Friends, For a very long time, I've noticed that YaST software management (and hence I presume zypper?) will determine the most current version of a package based upon its version number rather than its build date. Consequently, when packages are displayed, if there is a higher version number available YaST will show it in blue, whereas if there is an alternate package with a newer date but lower version number, it will be displayed in red. And, if the user does an "all in this list, update if newer version available", YaST will select those packages with higher version numbers (the blue) but not those with lower version numbers/newer build dates (the red). It appears that those packages with lower version numbers but newer build dates, are (at least sometimes) definitely the newer versions - the build date on the older version number can be as much as several months newer. While this is occurs most often in Packman packages, it also is occasionally the case with packages in SuSE repositories like 11.3 KDE 4.5. Can anyone explain why this is so? In particular, should the user only take the higher version number or, when a newer package is available although with an older version number, should that be given preference? (And I guess it follows, is YaST therefore behaving as it should?)

[opensuse] How to prevent gnome screenlets from starting in kde4?
by David C. Rankin 05 Dec '10

05 Dec '10

Guys, For some reason, gnome screenlets loads every time kde4 starts. There is nothing in Autostart or autostart and I kill the process every time. Where do I tell it not to start? I never told it to start in kde4 in the first place?? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
