[opensuse] KMail2 eats my new messages.

by Constant Brouerius van Nidek

Since today a half way normal functioning from my kmail makes it possible to read messages in the inbox and other folders but I found out that not all messages were sorted into their designated folders. Just three mails from the suse list showed in the inbox and were then filtered into the suse folder, at least that is what i thought. They are not there but if I go to the inbox with midnight commander those suse mails are in the new list together with a mail which I have read. At the same time synchronizing the inbox folder takes very long. The functioning of my kmail today started after I e,tied 161 messages in new, all messages which I already read and deleted. Is there something broken with the message filtering? -- Linux User 183145 using LXDE and KDE4 on a Pentium IV , powered by openSUSE 11.4 (i586) Kernel: 3.1.0-3-desktop LXDE WM & KDE Development Platform: 4.7.2 (4.7.2) 16:36pm up 1:32, 3 users, load average: 1.65, 1.44, 0.92 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] installing GRUB on adjusted clone

by George Olson

I have a dual boot laptop, with windows vista as originally installed, and openSUSE 11.4 running. I normally run openSUSE and only go back to vista for a particular thing here or there. I had my vista running in 2 primary partitions, with the first partition being the vista boot partition, and the 2nd partition being a data partition. When I installed openSUSE, I first shrank the data partition. After shrinking the 2nd partition, for the rest of the disk I made an extended partition, like so: sda1 - 39gb - windows c sda2 - 92gb - windows d (data) sda3 - extended partition sda5 - 2gb - swap partition sda6 - 20gb - root partition sda7 - 20gb - not mounted - for later install of the next distribution and testing sda8 - 292gb - home partition After using this for some time, I decided I really don't need 92gb for my windows partition, and I would really like to take about 20gb of that and move it to the end of sda8. Of course, I don't know how to do that on an active partition, so instead I purchased another hard drive. I have formatted my 2nd hard drive basically the same as the active hard drive, except that on the new drive my sdb2 is only 72gb and my sdb8 is 312gb. I used a windows cloning tool to copy my windows c and d drives to the new drive, and I used rsync to copy my root and home partitions over. I gave the root and home partitions in the new drive the labels rootb and homeb. So, now I have the new drive set up and I want to put it in my laptop and run off of it instead of my old drive (which I will eventually use as a clone backup). The challenge for me now is to setup grub and the new /etc/fstab file so that I can do just like I did before - have dual boot with windows and suseLINUX. I am a bit confused, however, on what I need to do with the MBR. This drive was fresh out of the box, and the first thing I did with it was setup the partitions using kparted in yast. The next thing I did was use Casper in Windows (Vista) to clone the C and D drives. Then I mounted the rootb and homeb partitions in Suse and used rsync to copy my data over. I have read through the Novell cool solutions on configuring dual boot by booting from the dvd in a rescue shell. It talks about making changes to the menu.lst file (which I can do) and the device.map file, which I can also do. The last step says to run the command grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/ /dev/hda which will install grub in /mnt/ (which is where the previous step has instructed you to mount the root directory of the drive you are installing it on). The problem is, this procedure was written for having just installed Windows on a SUSE linux machine, which overwrites the MBR. In my case, I have never actually installed windows on this drive - I just cloned the data of the key partitions, and since I cloned partition to partition, I am pretty sure the cloning tool didn't do anything with the MBR. So what should I do? should I go ahead and just run the grub-install command? Doesn't windows need to see something in the MBR that looks like its own code or something in order to work properly? or will that not matter when I install grub? I appreciate any advice you all can give. Sorry for being so verbose.

[opensuse] I have some initial doubts

by Linux Tyro

Hi, I am a windows migrant and many people here and there say to use Linux only. I agree because of its strong security features. However, my job is different and I am also not from a software field. Also, I get time very less to work in Linux but still I would give openSUSE a chance. I had Ubuntu installed (my sis just installed without any linux knowledge), that's good - working but someone (who works in linux itself) suggested me (over phone) to use openSUSE. I thought there must be some good reason. However, I didn't use Ubuntu also (no time and neither I knew linux). Now have made mind finally to go for it only. Some simple doubts are as follows: 1. If I install the latest version viz. 11.04, would it remain stable even after 8 months? (Since during 8 months, due to my job, I could not get the time to learn) and even if it changes, the basic functionality would remain the same....? 2. Can I install in CD version? But DVD is very common option. However, if I go for CD version (via torrent only), I don't think I would miss anything which come in DVD (wince we can update it later), is it like this...? 3. While booting with CD / DVD (whatever I pick in doubt no.2), would openSUSE replace my already installed Ubuntu or would it ask me for more/left space (which is NOT there). [PC is currently dual booted with Ubuntu LTS and Windows). How should I recognize (during installation) that it is replacing the entire Ubuntu space only and my windows partition remains intact... I hope my doubts would be cleared with the persons having great experiences here. I would be happy to know from their knowledge and learn from their experiences. (however, my question could be very basic in nature and of the initial stage only).. -- Thx. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] k9copy

by Basil Chupin

I have been using k9copy for some time. Recently I tried to use it[1] but there was no audio on the backup of a new DVD I bought. I wrote the author (twice) but received no response. Today I learnt that the development of k9copy has been terminated (a notice on sourceforge) and there is also this entry in wikipedia: "Development of K9Copy was stopped in 2011 with the author citing the fragmentation of Linux as a major issue.". Does anyone know, please, of a replacement application for k9copy (to be used with, say, openSUSE)? [1] oS 32-bit 11.4 with KDE 4.7.x and kernel 3.1.x.

[opensuse] On the fly addition of RAID 1 to a "live" system

by Duaine Hechler

I'm pretty sure there is but I'm asking to make sure .. I have a live system on sda and currently using rsync to backup to sdb (identical size disk). Also all partitions - including root and boot - are running reiserfs Can I add RAID 1 on the fly without disturbing my live system ? If so, can it be guaranteed ? And, could I be pointed to a procedure ?

[opensuse] Question for the hard-disk management experts

by Rodney Baker

Hi all. I'm messing around with my Dad's laptop computer - an Acer Extensta 5210 with an 80GB HDD, 1.5GB RAM and Windows 7 (yuk!). Windows 7 runs like treacle on this thing for some reason, and he has another (newer) Windows laptop anyway, so I'm installing oS 11.4 on it for him. The thing is that I want to dump the Windows partition and the Acer recovery partition to a portable drive so that I have a way back if he decides he wants to go back to Windows (which I don't think he will - his desktop machine runs oS 10.3 and he's been using that for ages, although only occassionally - it runs a local IMAP server for him so he can get the same mail on both laptops). Anyway, I've dumped the Windows partition (now 43GB) and the recovery partition (10GB, near enough) with dd if=/dev/sda<1,2> of=<image_name> to a terabyte USB drive, but my question is this. Should I backup the partition table from the original drive as well, to ease the process of restoring it back to its current state before I completely blow away these 2 partitions of the HDD in the laptop? What is the correct way to do this, apart from pen and paper? Assuming I do back it up to the USB drive, what would the process be to restore it? Sorry for the long'ish explanation, but context is sometimes useful.

[opensuse] Is ldap TLS working?

by lynn

Hi I'm trying to tighten up my ldap server using TLS. My (certainly wrong) method was this: Server: I made a CA certificate and rootca giving the FQDN of the server as the common name for both certs.using yast. I copied YaST-CA.pem from /etc/ssl/certs to /etc/srv/htdocs. Back in Yast->LDAP Server I added TLS and restarted. Client: Yast->LDAP Client, and changed' Addresses of LDAP Servers' from 127.0.0.1 to my FQDN and downloaded YaST-CA.pem, checking the 'LDAP TLS/SSL' box in the 'Secure Connection' section. 1. What is the correct way of doing this? 2. Does this confirm that TLS is working? (all this just for one login?) Thanks.
