[opensuse] lsm space giveth and space taketh away: missing space?
by Linda Walsh 02 Sep '10

02 Sep '10

I am running low on space in my /backups partition. I looked at the partitions and volumes to see what might be done (besides deleting old backups), and noticed: pvs: PV VG Fmt Attr PSize PFree /dev/sdb1 Backups lvm2 a- 10.91T 3.15G --- So I thought 'cool', I didn't make it the full size, and I have some left...ok...(I didn't remember what I'd done, its been a while). Run lvresize: lvresize /dev/Backups/Backups -L +3.15G Rounding up size to full physical extent 3.15 GB Extending logical volume Backups to 10.91 TB Logical volume Backups successfully resized Um...HELLO? Extending to 10.91? But it was at 10.91! pvs: PV VG Fmt Attr PSize PFree /dev/sdb1 Backups lvm2 a- 10.91T 0 Well that was unimpressive. parted /dev/sdb p(rint) Disk /dev/sdb: 12.0TB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B Partition Table: gpt Number Start End Size File system Name Flags 1 17.4kB 12.0TB 12.0TB backup lvm Ok, now I'm really confused. 10.91T? 14.06T? (Obviously this was optimistic reporting if the partition is only 12TB!) So why does parted show a 12TB disk while lvm shows only a 10.91T disk and why did lvm show 3.15G free when it wasn't really there? How do I get my 1.09T back from lvm? That seems like awfully high for an overhead number for lvm. I'd expect more like "0.09T". Ideas? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Unable to edit .spec files
by Ilya Chernykh 02 Sep '10

02 Sep '10

Recently I became unable to edit any .spec files in the OBS. I still can download the file, make the changes and then upload it again. I would like to know if this is a bug? Also I discovered that I cannot accept my own requests and cannot delete source files through the web interface (though this works well through the command line). This severly slows and complicates the work. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] 11.2/KDE3 - Firefox main menu has inverted colors
by Felix Miata 02 Sep '10

02 Sep '10

Always before it was black text on almost white backtground. Now since last updating, its main menubar (File Edit View History Bookmarks etc.) is light text on dark background, which I hate. It happens in both the openSUSE 3.6.8 rpm version, and Mozilla.org's 4.0b4. Am I the only one this is happening to? How can I make it go away, looking like before, and like most other apps? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

[opensuse] boot splash confusion on openSUSE 11.3
by Mads Jeppe Tarp-Johansen 02 Sep '10

02 Sep '10

openSUSErs, I'm confused about splash screens during boot. I come from older openSUSE and not really accustomed to kms (if that has anything to do with it at all. My aim is to have a very short timeout on grub2 and then have a customized boot splash screen visible up to auto-login of some user. I'm using a "Minimal X Window" and a "standrd KDE" openSUSE 11.3 installation with standard 2.6.34-12-desktop kernel. Any advice on how to achieve that goal very much appreciated. Below find some additional info.

[opensuse] ldap authentication to Novell eDirectory
by James Pifer 01 Sep '10

01 Sep '10

I'm trying to setup ldap authentication to eDirectory. I'm actually doing it on SLES11, but hoping someone here can give me a hand. I'm getting an error when I try to ssh as a user that only exists in ldap, not locally. I've found a lot of references to this error, but have not found a solution that works for my situation. First, the error I see in the log is: pam_ldap: error trying to bind as user "cn=myid,ou=my ou,o=root" (Invalid credentials) I can successfully bind to ldap using ldapsearch and ldapbrowser from sles11, so I know my credentials are correct. Connection to ldap is not encrypted so I've captured all three logins using wireshark. The authentication value for the simple bind matches for ldapsearch and ldapbrowser, but is different coming from pam_ldap. So it seems like pam_ldap is sending the password different, maybe it's encrypting or something, don't know. In /etc/ldap.conf I've set: host 192.168.100.21 base o=root bind_policy soft pam_lookup_policy yes pam_password nds nss_initgroups_ignoreusers root,ldap nss_schema rfc2307bis I also tried pam_password clear. Anyone have any suggestions? Maybe I'm just overlooking something very basic. The complete output from the log is: Aug 31 13:48:32 sles11 sshd[19756]: Invalid user myid from 192.168.100.24 Aug 31 13:48:39 sles11 sshd[19761]: pam_ldap: error trying to bind as user "cn=myid,ou=my ou,o=root" (Invalid credentials) Aug 31 13:48:39 sles11 sshd[19761]: pam_unix(sshd:auth): check pass; user unknown Aug 31 13:48:39 sles11 sshd[19761]: pam_unix(sshd:auth): authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=ssh ruser= rhost=192.168.100.24 Aug 31 13:48:41 sles11 sshd[19756]: error: PAM: User not known to the underlying authentication module for illegal user myid from 192.168.100.24 Aug 31 13:48:41 sles11 sshd[19756]: Failed keyboard-interactive/pam for invalid user myid from 192.168.100.24 port 38256 ssh2 Aug 31 13:50:32 sles11 sshd[19762]: error: ssh_msg_send: write Aug 31 13:50:32 sles11 sshd[19762]: pam_unix(sshd:auth): conversation failed Aug 31 13:50:32 sles11 sshd[19762]: pam_unix(sshd:auth): auth could not identify password for [myid] Aug 31 13:50:32 sles11 sshd[19762]: error: ssh_msg_send: write Thanks, James -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Wow kde 4.5.1-1 look much better! Good job K4 Devs.
by David C. Rankin 01 Sep '10

01 Sep '10

Guys, Though I often knock kde4 and all isn't perfect, 4.5.1-1 is looking much better. We are starting to see some of the 'smartness' and 'efficiency' that made kde3 such a great desktop creep into kde4. Case-in-point, simple things like changing the background in kde4 sucked largely because you were limited to a single column of thumbnails to choose from that was slow as hell to scroll through (especially if you have 100+ wallpapers in the search path. After upgrade to 4.5.1-1, I was surprised to see a clean 3-column selection now that triples the amount of data you have at a glance and greatly speeds transitioning the list of wallpapers. (it could have been there a version ago and I'm just seeing it now) I'm glad to see some of the highly visible sore thumbs of k4 are being addressed. Why it has taken 2+ years from the official June, 2008 release date to get here still has never been adequately explained, but for those who know open-source, you know why. So the purpose of the email is to tell Will, Sven and the rest of the tireless k4 devs on this list - great job, Your work and effort is highly visible and well appreciated. (Will, now if I can just get you in an advisory role on the Pearson project to preserve k3 as a 'choice' for the future, we will really have made progress on two fronts. I'll follow up privately later) Second, just as this example shows, it is the lack of the simple efficiencies in k4 that have caused serious acceptance problems for k4. Slow scrolling, inefficient lists, whack-a-mole focus handling, file managers that can't remember what they looked like the last time they were closed or remember what file or directory they were just in/on when pressing the (back) button while in preview in tree mode are apparently the things that were/are low-priority fixes that are being addressed last. This approach is completely backwards for a successful major version jump and the historical trouble k4 has had with acceptance bears that out. Things like this are often the first things people see in k4 and, it is true, you only get one chance to make a good first impression (hopefully that is a lesson learned for k5) Make sure the first things people see and use most work out of the gate -- not 2 years later. But regardless of the history, the successes and missteps, kde4 is looking very good in 4.5.1-1. Great job kde4 devs! P.S. Now, I'll go try the back button in nested tree mode in konqueror while previewing a wallpaper and report back :p -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
