[opensuse] mail configuration help
by eddie 26 Sep '10

26 Sep '10

Dear All I'm hoping that someone can help with this. I have set up a mailing list and it seems to function okay(ish) but the problem is that mail sent to the list gets the "From" address rewritten so that the orginal sender's address is removed and replaced by my own. Thus all mail seems to be coming from me! Can someone please direct me as to the correct file to edit and the variable that needs to be changed? I'd be ever so grateful. I am using Dovecot as my email server and sendmail, on openSUSE 11.3 Thanks a million. Eddie -- Delight thyself also in the Lord and He shall give thee the desires of thine heart.

[opensuse] How does one open the suse-firewall for NFS-SERVER?
by Carlos E. R. 25 Sep '10

25 Sep '10

Hi, I have: FW_SERVICES_EXT_RPC="nfs" FW_CONFIGURATIONS_EXT="nfs-client nfs-server" SuSEfirewall2 complains: Sep 25 02:48:52 nimrodel SuSEfirewall2: Warning: config 'nfs-server' not available And the firewall blocks the connections: Sep 25 02:43:02 nimrodel kernel: [344636.301083] SFW2-INext-DROP-DEFLT IN=eth0 OUT= MAC=00:40:f4:2e:b1:21:00:21:85:16:2d:0b:08:00 SRC=192.168.1.14 DST=192.168.1.12 LEN=68 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=64 ID=0 DF PROTO=UDP SPT=836 DPT=55792 LEN=48 Sep 25 02:46:21 nimrodel kernel: [344835.322713] SFW2-INext-DROP-DEFLT IN=eth0 OUT= MAC=00:40:f4:2e:b1:21:00:21:85:16:2d:0b:08:00 SRC=192.168.1.14 DST=192.168.1.12 LEN=68 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=64 ID=0 DF PROTO=UDP SPT=668 DPT=55651 LEN=48 The port changes, so I can't open it by a rule. I have services rcrpcbind, rcnfsserver, and rcnfs running. Notice: EXT is not external. Needless to say, it works if I drop the firewall in the server. How do I configure the firewall to get the nfs server working? It need to open certain variable port each time, dynamically. -- Cheers, Carlos E.

[opensuse] WTF?! NO floppy in Lucid or in Meerkat!
by Basil Chupin 24 Sep '10

24 Sep '10

I've busted my balls over the past 2 days trying to figure out why my floppy will not be recognised and display the contents of a floppy disc. I need the floppy to be able to flash the BIOS on a pre-loved mobo I bought 2 weeks ago. I buggered around trying to figure out why the floppy (floppies actually on all the 3 Ubuntu systems I have) won't work - when all did work under the previous distro I was using. And what do I now find? The floppy drive is not really catered for by Ubuntu Lucid, or even Meerkat (I've tried) now! Here is a gem from a Lauchy discussion on this matter: QUOTE > NoOp [2010-08-31 2:20 -0000]: > > Can one of the devs listed in the assigned: Andy Whitcroft and > > Martin Pitt please explain the status? > > You already summarized it pretty well. None of the devs have a floppy > disk, so debugging them is a pain (as much of a pain as floppy disks > are in the first place..) Personally, the last one I had was 2002.. > > So for now, I'm afraid that you have to use an older Ubuntu release > for now, or use the downgraded version for a while. > > I'm sorry that this isn't the answer you are looking for, but it's the > current situation. UNQUOTE Note: none of the devs computers with a floppy....so for all you silly bums and no-hopers who do have one.....tuff teaties! And for all those who still spout the line that Ubuntu will run on all hardware -- get real! It's crap! (Also, just FYI, and this might explain a few things, all the devs appear to be using laptops, not desktops, for their work; this also stated in this "bug thread".) There are, however, at least a couple of "fixes" for the above wonderful regression but one of them, which is to be issue on the cli, "devkit-disks --mount /dev/fd0" comes up with the error message that nobody on this planet knows the command "devkit-disks" except, most likely, the one who actually mentioned it in the bug-discussion. The first "fix" was to insert "floppy" as a new line in /etc/modules - which went down like a lead balloon in my case. And the last, is to replace in Lucid the latest udisks package from ubuntu with the earlier udisks.1.0.1build1 (by using Package:Force Version) -- this courtesy of NoOp. And, of course, there is no way that you can do this Package:Force Version in Meerkat. Alright, now that I have vented my frustrations accumulated over the past 2 days, does anyone have a REAL clue to make anything-Ubuntu recognise a floppy drive and display the contents of the disc in it and even format the disc? (Having stated this, the suggestion in the bug-discussion is to keep running an earlier version of Ubuntu - I think it is Karmic but don't quote me.)

[opensuse] oss 11.3 kernel update crashes initrd and bootloader
by Johannes Eckhardt 24 Sep '10

24 Sep '10

hi, everytime i install a kernel update (yast | online update) my system doesn't boot anymore. i found out that the initrd-disk is missing and the grub boot menu (menu.lst) is missing all of its entries. today once more i did a kernel update but i did not reboot - i will do in the evening. so i looked at /boot and the initrd is missing and the grub menu.lst is broken too. so i fixed both and hope the system will boot normaly. has anyone else experienced this strange behaviour? best, johannes
