I have been using SuSEfirewall2 for several years with IPv4. However, IIRC, it doesn't work with IPv6, which I have recently started using. What firewalls work with IPv6? tnx jk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Yes I'm very familiar with denyhosts as well as a couple of other solutions. I am using a perl solution for the moment. However I consider this a "bandage" fix (sort of...) - I feel that iptables should work as advertised and I'd really like to learn why in this case it doesn't. I agree that a product like denyhosts is a really good idea and should be used regardless but I'd also like to know why iptables doesn't behave and are there other instances where iptables "misbehaves" or am I just doing something wrong. Again, thanks for your feedback. Best regards. Otto. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

by David C. Rankin 09 Jun '10

Guys, Strange issue. Quanta on my 11.0 x86_64 box will not populate the upload project dialog. It just grinds away on the disk and fails. i586 is fine. Details are here: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=612677 Anybody else have problems? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[opensuse] Kindle for PC via WINE ?
by Regis Matejcik 08 Jun '10

08 Jun '10

Anyone had any luck getting "Kindle for PC" to run on OpenSuse via WINE ? There are several internet posts that reference a minor "tweak" to wine (essentially changing the winecfg to windows98 ) and "Kindle for PC" supposedly works fine. I've done the the winecfg tweak on both my OpenSuse 11.2 desktop and my Ubuntu laptop with similar results. The "Kindle for PC" program appears to install, an Icon shows up on the desktop, but when the icon is clicked - it tries to launch but crashes. -- Regis Matejcik Crescent Construction Company www.CrescentConstruction.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Questions about Thinkpad Dock
by Larry Stotler 08 Jun '10

08 Jun '10

I recently picked up a Thinkpad Dock II for my A22p. I've noticed a couple of strange things and was wondering if anyone else knew anything about it. I've looked over at thinkwiki, but didn't really see anything useful. I'm currently running openSUSE 11.0/KDE3. 1. When docked, the CPU is running at 700Mhz instead of 1Ghz, which is what it is when the adapter is unplugged. When docked ACPI says the battery is charging. I looked in the BIOS but didn't see anything settings for docked. 2. The ultrabay 2000 slot in the dock shows up as /dev/hda for either my DVD/RW or my UltraBay IDE adapter. I didn't have the dock when I installed it. This isn't a big deal, just curious. 3. USB - It's supposed to have a USB2 hub, but I'm assuming that since the laptop only has USB 1.1, that It won't have USB2. 4. DVI - I haven't tried this yet. Has anyone had any luck with it?

[opensuse] Apparmor question [½OT]

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, "Years" ago I was subscribed to the Apparmor-general mail list, which has no traffic for months. Suddenly, out of nowhere, I got an email reporting that I have been automatically subscribed to "apparmor(a)lists.ubuntu.com": Here is the new home of the AppArmor mailing list. You've been subscribed here since you were subscribed at the old list. In the interests of consolidation, the old -general and -dev lists have been merged. Welcome to the AppArmor(a)lists.ubuntu.com mailing list! Has the (old Novell's) apparmour project moved to Ubuntu, then? (I know the main dev(s) "went" out of Novell long ago) Has anybody else got this notice, or is it some kind of weird "quasi-spam"? And... what will happen to Yast's support of AA, will it be dropped? - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

[opensuse] kde443 - still can't set color of system monitor widgets on desktop + middle-click closes tab broken
by David C. Rankin 08 Jun '10

08 Jun '10

Guys, Back in kde4.4.3 to check it out. I still cannot set the color of my desktop widgets. It was easily done in kde 4.2-4.3beta, not for the past 6 months the ability is gone. I hate the dull gray default color. I have been through all the desktop activity settings and it just can't be done. So what is the trick. Is this just a bug that won't die? This is what I should be able to set the graph color on: http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/bugs/kde4/sysmon-kde.jpg Konqueror settings -> General -> Tabbed Browsing -> Middle-Click on tab to close it, does nothing? I clicked it to test, and there is no amount of middle-clicking on tabs that closes anything. Any hints? (don't worry, it just gets worse in kde4 4.4, [released last week on Arch] many new surprises :-) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[opensuse] KDE4 (Factory) 4.3 - .jpeg save dialog regression - anyone else seeing it?
by David C. Rankin 08 Jun '10

08 Jun '10

Guys, I need confirmation on this bug to see if this is just and 11.0 problem or a kde4 problem (I suspect the latter). Details and screenshots in the bug I filed (still waiting in 'Unconfirmed' status): https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=238101 It is the frustrating .jpg -> .jpeg issue that was fixed 6-12 months ago, but has come 'un-fixed' again. Also there is broken input behavior that moves the cursor for you without you telling it to. Anybody else bitten by this one, or am I just lucky? Yes, it's still there in KDE4 4.4, so you can check with either the 'Factory' packages installed or the new KDE4 4.4 release if you have that installed as well. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
