[opensuse] Evolution Memory leak in 11.3
by Regis Matejick 30 Aug '10

30 Aug '10

I recently did a clean install of OpenSuse 11.3 (64 bit) with KDE 4.4.4 "release 2" The evolution version is Evolution 2.30.1.2. I started Evolution by importing the archived "evolution-backup.tar.gz" file that I made from my 11.2 installation. When I start Evolution, it uses about 38mb ram. Within an hour it's up to 163mb, in 12 hours 338mb. If I leave it on for two days it gets to 500mb. I've not let it get larger than that so far, so I don't know if there's an upper limit on the "leak". When I shut it down and restart, the process just starts over. Has anyone else encountered a similar experience? Any suggestions on "plugging the leak?"

[opensuse] Curious VsFTPd behavior with chroot dependency on server name (DNS config)
by Dan Kopparhed 30 Aug '10

30 Aug '10

Hello I have noticed a really strange behavior of VsFTPd where chroot jail apparently succeeds or fails depending on the domain name type (in the DNS config). The full story: I have a machine running a FTP server using "ftp.example.com", but the same machine also hosts various other things like web services. The ftp-subdomain is an A record in the DNS. For mostly cosmetic reasons I've also created two CNAME records (to ftp), www and test. Thus you can actually FTP to "ftp.example.com", "www.example.com", "test.example.com", or directly to the IP address (of course). Thus, it is the same instance of VsFTPd that answers, no matter (that's correct). I've set up VsFTPd to chroot non-admin users to their home dir, this also works fine... kind of. Here's the curious part; when connecting to "ftp.example.com" (the A record), the user is NOT chrooted and can browse the whole file system. When connecting on any of the other (CNAME) names/IPs that the machine responds to, the same user IS chrooted, exactly the way I would expect. System: OpenSuse 11.3 (and probably at least 11.2), latest updates installed VsFTPd v2.2.2-2.4 uname -a: Linux myserver 2.6.34-12-xen #1 SMP 2010-06-29 02:39:08 +0200 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux I'm mystified by this strange behavior, I've seen it before, but this time I decided to take a closer look. Could it be some bug in VsFTPd? Has anyone seen this? BR, Dan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] OpenOffice_org 3.2.1.4 from build service for oS 11.2
by Istvan Gabor 30 Aug '10

30 Aug '10

Hello: I have openSUSE 11.2 with KDE 3.5.10. I had official openSUSE OpenOffice_org package(s) 3.1.1.4 which I wanted to update to 3.2.1.4 version from the openSUSE build repository: http://download.opensuse.org/update/11.2/ The update went smooth except from one thing: OpenOffice_org-kde-3.2.1.4-1.1 insisted to install libkde4, libkdecore4 and a few other packages as dependencies, so I installed them. Now openoffice's open and save dialogs do not appear at all. I think the reason can be that I don't have any other KDE4 packages except from the abovementioned. At the same time there is another kde related package in that repo: OpenOffice_org-kde4-3.2.1.4-1.1. Why the OpenOffice_org-kde-3.2.1.4-1.1 package require then the installation of KDE4 libraries? And what is the purpose of the OpenOffice_org-kde4-3.2.1.4-1.1 package? Finally, how could I install this OpenOffice version to work with KDE 3.5?

[opensuse] Evolution Mail - reply yo list and default font color
by Marco Calistri 30 Aug '10

30 Aug '10

Good morning listmembers, Would like to know if are there any hacks to add a "reply to list" button into Evolution Mail toolbar, since using the default CTRL+L IMHO is not so user friendly. Other point of question is why the default font color "black" of Evolution compose or reader looks less dark (it is really a grey color) than other default black as e.g. into Firefox or other apps. Is there a way to modify default font color into Evolution?

[opensuse] compiling vmplayer vmmon module on OS 11.2
by Roger Oberholtzer 30 Aug '10

I am trying to start VMware player, and it wants to rebuild it's kernel modules. This has usually worked ok after a kernel update. Unfortunately, it is not working now. The VMware log only contains the kernel command, and not the error messages. So I am doing the same by hand (command is the one vmplayer lists in the log when it tries this): /usr/bin/make -C /tmp/vmware-root/modules/vmmon-only auto-build SUPPORT_SMP=1 HEADER_DIR=/lib/modules/2.6.31.12-0.2-desktop/build/include CC=/usr/bin/gcc GREP=/usr/bin/make IS_GCC_3=no VMCCVER=4.4 Using 2.6.x kernel build system. make: Entering directory `/tmp/vmware-root/modules/vmmon-only' make -C /lib/modules/2.6.31.12-0.2-desktop/build/include/..

[opensuse] zypper question
by Robert Schweikert 30 Aug '10

30 Aug '10

Hi, With the changes to zypper from openSUSE 11.2 to openSUSE 11.3 I am still confused as to the mechanism that gets me the results I am after. One of the additional repositories I have configured on the system is http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Virtualization:/Appliances/openSU… as I want to track the Kiwi development packages. After I upgraded the machine from openSUSE 11.2 to 11.3 I ran zypper install kiwi-LATEST_VERSION_AT_THE_TIME and chose to change the "vendor" for the Kiwi packages to be the Appliances repo. With this I figured that future "zypper up" usage would get me the latest packages of kiwi. That does not appear to be the case. I also tried "zypper patch" and it still does not pick up the packages from the Appliances repo. When I use the YaST GUI to manage software I can see the updated Kiwi packages and can click on them to get the latest version. What do I have to do to get zypper to pull these packages via "zypper up" or "zypper patch"?

[opensuse] What's the purpose of Plasma?
by Ilya Chernykh 30 Aug '10

30 Aug '10

I have just discovered that in KDE3 you can imbeed any windows into the desktop. The windows then has no borders, cannot be moved, shown behind all other windows, disappears from the taskbar and window selector. Like as in this screenshot: http://www.linux.org.ru/gallery/5266021.png Of note that the application have not to be specially written to allow for that. What's the purpose of Plasma then? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
