[opensuse] mail from cron ?
by Dave Howorth 06 Jul '10

06 Jul '10

I have an 11.2 system and am having trouble configuring it to send me mail from some cron jobs. The problem is the /root/bin/cron.daily.local script. I know it runs because I have a line in it that says date >> /root/cron.dbg and the file gets a new line added every day. The script also has a mailto line and a line that prints output: MAILTO=dhoworth(a)my.domain.uk echo 'This is /root/bin/cron.daily.local' The sysconfig variable SEND_MAIL_ON_NO_ERROR is set to yes but I get no mail from the job. I do get mail from a job in root's crontab: SHELL=/bin/bash MAILTO=dhoworth(a)my.domain.uk # m h d mo dow 50 15 * * * echo hello What am I missing? :( Thanks, Dave -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

"official", I don't know :-( I never tried to upgrade, simply because this may lat you with difficult changes. For example, it's nearly done to remove Hal and use I don't remember what other package.

[opensuse] FreeNX server onto 11.2
by Verner Kjærsgaard 05 Jul '10

05 Jul '10

Hi list and gurus :-) I'd so much like to install FreeNX SERVER onto a brand new 11.2 32bit system. I grabbed the nx client from NoMachine and installed it. This works fine. I then fetched the FreeNX server rpm and did a --test install. This breaks...: rpm -Uvh --test FreeNX-0.7.2-27.1.i586.rpm error: Failed dependencies: NX is needed by FreeNX-0.7.2-27.1.i586 Eh....I thought that NX was already supplied by the client installation. Any ideas? As always, Thank You! -- ------------------------------ Med venlig hilsen/Best regards Verner Kjærsgaard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

It > always works for me. I just realised that you are definitely not using KDE4's knetworkmanager (at least, not the same version as I'm using). No "connect and save" button - just OK and Cancel. Wireless Security is a tab, not a checkbox and the option is WPA/WPA2 Personal but it asks for a password, not a pre-shared key. Like I said, the knetworkmanager is broken (or perhaps functionally challenged is a more apt description).

[opensuse] gpg error on login
by Anton Aylward 05 Jul '10

05 Jul '10

I'm now (following a regular 'zypper up' a few days ago) getting this message on login to one of my auxiliary accounts gpg: invalid module `/usr/lib/gnupg/rndlinux': /usr/lib/gnupg/rndlinux: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Eh? It also seems to be preventing spamassassin doing a channel update. I *think* it has something to do with gpg-agent but I'm going round in circles trying to tie it down. Not least of all because this doesn't happen with my (much hacked profiles for the) regular account. -- "All information stored electronically has value and shall be protected commensurate with its value."
