[opensuse] My first major fail with KDE4
by C 03 Mar '10

03 Mar '10

Hmmmm well, I've just encountered my first major fail with KDE4.4 on openSUSE 11.2 (on a computer I support). This is on a laptop install. It was working fine last night, but on startup this morning, the system boots, and when it gets to launching the desktop, all I see is a small box in the upper left which says: kstartupconfig4 does not exist or fails. The error code is 4. Check your installation. I've just picked up the laptop from the owner, and am starting to try to diagnose this... strange... I've done some Googling on this.. only one exact hit from a German language forum. There they traced it back to a kernel update. I don't know if there was an interrupted of failed auto-update when the laptop was in use yesterday. Any ideas on this one?

[opensuse] Infotec / Ricoh PS printer prints " %!PS-Adobe-3.0 .... "
by LActive＠GMX.Net 03 Mar '10

Hi all, we have several Infotec (ISC2428) and Ricoh (Aficio_2233C) colour laser printer-copiers in our office. The PPD files are used that are delivered with openSUSE 10.3 - 11.2, and the manufacturer PPD files were also tried. All print only page one with: %!PS-Adobe-3.0 %% %% mark (lp) () (201003031438) {setuserinfo} stopped cleartomark and 13 empty pages when i print a test page. Any info on getting these printer/copies to work with openSUSE 10.3 - 11.2 will be greatly appreciated.

Hi Listmates, I never use the wastebin,its not on my desktop and I don't think about this functionality. So it can happen that I was looking where my diskspace was gone,yes in the wastebin. I found it in "trash:/" How can I disable this functionality ????

[opensuse] multi-homed networking
by Vahe Avedissian 03 Mar '10

03 Mar '10

Greetings all, Running opensuse 11.2 64b. I am trying to set up a multihomed network. Two nic cards, two dsl ISP services and two routers. It does not look like I can do this with yast. Eth0 works fine but I cannot get anything working with eth1. I want to load balance and increase throughput. I don't think bonding is the way to go. What is the preferred way to set this up? I found several suggestions by googling but none addressed what I wanted to do exactly. router A is 192.168.10.1 + DHCP enabled router B is 192.168.11.1 + DHCP enabled Below is the output of netstat. > netstat -nr Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface 192.168.11.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 192.168.10.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo 0.0.0.0 192.168.10.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 route (same as above) >route -v Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.11.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 192.168.10.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 link-local * 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 loopback * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo default 192.168.10.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 and ifconfig >ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:E0:81:57:0F:32 inet addr:192.168.10.102 Bcast:192.168.10.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::2e0:81ff:fe57:f32/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:2366413 errors:1 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:1 TX packets:1811420 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:1969680830 (1878.4 Mb) TX bytes:291551260 (278.0 Mb) Interrupt:23 Base address:0x2000 eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:E0:81:57:0F:33 inet addr:192.168.11.101 Bcast:192.168.11.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: 2002:440f:5a26:0:2e0:81ff:fe57:f33/64 Scope:Global inet6 addr: fe80::2e0:81ff:fe57:f33/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:16916 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:3975 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:3510427 (3.3 Mb) TX bytes:770760 (752.6 Kb) Interrupt:55 Base address:0x8000 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:397 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:397 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:22830 (22.2 Kb) TX bytes:22830 (22.2 Kb) Thanks, Vahe -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Kmail annoyance
by 911 03 Mar '10

03 Mar '10

Hello SuSE people, Running 11.2 4.4 with Kmail 1.13.0 First a little explanation to visualize the problem, In my message list there are a bunch of read messages that I keep for reference or until I categorize them into separate folders. Now I download new messages. They are interspersed with the old messages due to threading. The new messages are in red. Now, as I read the new messages by selecting them they are highlighted and I can delete them or just leave them and the next message below gets highlighted which is fine and the way it should work. However, as you get to the last message displayed in the message pane, the next unseen message appears in the pane and is highlighted. What that means is now I don't know whether it is an old message that I've kept or the next new one. Remember the new ones are interspersed within the message list. The only way to avoid this is to stop before you get to the last viewable message and scroll the list up. Very annoying. In previous Kmails It used to scroll up two of the unseen messages so you could see the next one after the one you were viewing. Anyway to change this behavior to be like it used to be? Or is this a minor irritating bug. Please don't be annoyed as I am going to cross post this message to the KDE list.

[opensuse] running thunderbird filters at exit?
by Per Jessen 03 Mar '10

03 Mar '10

Does anyone know if its possible to make TB automatically run filters at other times than "for incoming messages" ? For instance, I'd like to automatically delete certain messages after a certain time (when the information contained is no longer important) or I'd like to automatically archive messages older than 12 months in the appropriate folder. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (5.8°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Members of wheel can su without a password - convenient, but I wouldn't use it on a box open to the net.
by David C. Rankin 03 Mar '10

03 Mar '10

Guys, For what it is worth, this was a wonderful convenience I stumbled across setting up a new server. You can edit /etc/pam.d/su and add the following: auth sufficient pam_wheel.so trust use_uid to allow members of the 'wheel' group to 'su' without giving a password. Now if you have configured 'sudo' so members of the wheel group can 'sudo' without a password, I don't think you are opening up any new holes, but absent a pam exploit or privilege escalation of users to the wheel group, I think the implications center on java/javascript apps downloaded that may run as you. You run the same risk with sudo, but the convenience of su without a password is very nice. I've finally settled on using it for setup before the box goes online and then closing the hole. I would welcome any other thoughts on the potential security implications of the feature. Seems that if pam is doing its job, then it doesn't pose any more risk than sudo. -- David C.

[opensuse] 11.0 - kde44 ignores preferred applications for email?
by David C. Rankin 03 Mar '10

03 Mar '10

Guys, KDE44 with firefox and thunderbird set as the users preferred applications in systemsettings seems to be ignored. Clicking on any email address (even in thunderbird) launches Akonadi server which launches kmail "new message" to send to the email address. What to check? That's not supposed to happen. -- David C.
