[opensuse] remote desktop xsesman broken? where does it get its cmdline?
by Linda Walsh 24 Oct '11

24 Oct '11

Ever since downgrading from 11.2 to 11.4 (given the number of problems I'm **still having** 5 months after the upgrade, it was the worst in my experience since suse 7.2), I've been unable to login to my system via remote desktop and xrdp. It kept claiming it was sending info to sesman, then login session failed.... I thought it was a passwd problem and tried to chase that down, as other apps have complained about authentication failures and login failures returned by PAM, but then they allow login... (?its a feature?) But turns out, this one is caused by xsesman finally figured how to run it interactively: [20111021-13:38:37] [CORE ] starting sesman with pid 14506 [20111021-13:38:37] [INFO ] listening... [20111021-13:39:19] [INFO ] granted TS access to user root [20111021-13:39:19] [INFO ] starting Xdmx session... Unrecognized option: -- use: X [:<display>] [option] -a # default pointer acceleration (factor) -ac disable access control restrictions -audit int set audit trail level -auth file select authorization file -br create root window with black background +bs enable any backing store support -bs disable any backing store support .... Fatal server error: Unrecognized option: -- [20111021-13:39:19] [CORE ] error X server died - user root - pid 14564 Well, I can guess that '--' should mean end of options to some program sesman is trying to start, but obviously they aren't arguments to the Xserver. (Xdmx). So...what's it trying to do and how did this ever get out of factory? It USED to work! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] openSUSE 11.3 > top reports CPU 98.4%wa,
by Bruce Samhaber 24 Oct '11

24 Oct '11

Hi, Assuming here that 98.4%wa represents 98.4% of the time the CPU is waiting. Is there a way to determine what the CPU is waiting for when top reports the following? top - 09:56:53 up 7 days, 18:57, 26 users, load average: 37.52, 29.82, 29.43 Tasks: 227 total, 2 running, 224 sleeping, 1 stopped, 0 zombie Cpu(s): 0.7%us, 1.0%sy, 0.0%ni, 0.0%id, 98.4%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.0%si, 0.0%st Mem: 1551432k total, 1484768k used, 66664k free, 167556k buffers Swap: 2104476k total, 0k used, 2104476k free, 954052k cached PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 5041 bruce 20 0 2504 1004 724 R 0.7 0.1 4:29.24 top 7379 bruce 20 0 2480 936 724 R 0.7 0.1 41:17.55 top 3500 bruce 20 0 594m 95m 46m S 0.3 6.3 1:45.16 amarok 1 root 20 0 2196 740 636 S 0.0 0.0 0:09.95 init 2 root 20 0 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 kthreadd 3 root RT 0 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 migration/0 4 root 20 0 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:19.49 ksoftirqd/0 This occurs when I turn on SAMBA server on this machine and try to access the SAMBA share from another machine. The machine is running openSUSE 11.3 on this desktop server and on a laptop. The desktop is configured as the PDC. The laptop is set as Not a Domain Controller. There are Windows XP machines on the domain also. The first time that a windows XP machine tries to access a share it was successful, but then if the winXP Explorer window is closed then re-opened it does not login anymore and the SAMBA server goes into waiting mode. The server got into this waiting mode last night and has been like this for 9hrs now. I will need to reboot the machine to get it out of this more or stop SAMBA with /etc/init.d/smb stop or just restart with /etc/init.d/smb restart This problem has occured since I installed openSUSE last January. Occasionally there was suitable functionality. I have been partly suspicious that this might be a networking problem since a some point I tried to get DNS running which is not working on the same server. Could a broken DNS cause problems with SAMBA?

[opensuse] samba share create mask
by lynn 23 Oct '11

23 Oct '11

Hi everyone. Finally getting some sense out of Samba. The [homes] share is working fine. Users are prompted for a password when using Dolphin eg: smb://hh1/lynn2 BUT: Trying to access the [stuff] share prompts for a password but ignores the create mask 0777. The file is not created universal rw. What am I doing wrong? Also, can I have stuff+ without a login? I want it to work as a sort of Dropbox. Thanks. L x 11.4 with apparmor disabled.

[opensuse] anyone using cromfs?
by Per Jessen 23 Oct '11

23 Oct '11

I'm using 1.5.10 and trying to create a filesystem (mkcromfs) based on about 29Gb on uncompressed data. I keep hitting an exception - "terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::bad_alloc' " - I've got plenty of disk-space and despite the error message, it's not a memory problem either. I've tried the same procedure on three different machines, 2Gb, 6Gb and 7Gb memory respectively. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (9.9°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] help forum no help getting printer to print
by Felix Miata 21 Oct '11

21 Oct '11

After seeing "unable to open listen socket for address ::1:631 - Address family not supported by protocol" in /var/log/cups/error_log, Google told me goto http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/install-boot-log… and http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:GDI_Printers to figure out why I can't print with my Canon GDI, but instead of help I just see the incompetent results of incompetent site styles: http://fm.no-ip.com/SS/opensuseforumsmess01.jpg Can someone please fix the openSUSE web sites to use browser defaults instead of mousetype so that this kind of mess doesn't keep happening? I've been trying off & on in 11.4 & 12.1 since last winter to make my IP printer work, but it refuses to print except for the YaST2 test page, or PDFs from Okular. All other apps tried, and this is on multiple puters, fail to even wake up the printer, much less print. Until the last driver update, the printer would wake up, but display an error instead of printing. Apps tried are mostly various Gwenview, Firefox, SeaMonkey & Konqueror versions. Months ago I filed https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=683476 and later http://www.cups.org/str.php?L3916 in hopes of eventually being able to print in something newer than 11.2. http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/Cups/gx280/121/ contains logs from today's attempts on one machine with 12.1B1. I opened the printer's IP in Konqueror, but nothing there seems able to help with this. IPV6 is disabled in YaST, and cmdline includes ipv6.disable=1. /etc/hosts includes 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost. How do I get my printer to print from apps other than Okular in 11.4 and/or 12.1? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

[opensuse] Radius info
by Koenraad Lelong 21 Oct '11

21 Oct '11

Hi, I would like to make the wireless lan more manageable, here at the office, so I'm researching radius. It seems freeradius has many possibilities, so I'm a bit lost. I didn't find information on a low technical level to learn the possibilities of freeradius to setup a wireless lan. Does anyone have some references ? Does anyone know of documents referring to the interactions between the devices when setting up a wireless link with radius ? Then I could better know where to look if anything goes wrong. Thanks for any pointers. Koenraad Lelong. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] /etc/hosts.allow causing probs ? What would cause this? ipv6 day?
by Linda Walsh 21 Oct '11

21 Oct '11

I've recently been getting occasion relaying denied messages from my mail server (in my own house, no less, seems a bit abusive, shouldn't take that from a machine, pull it's plug or maybe it's memory chips one at a time....)... But I think they are related to these oddities in the /etc/hosts.allow Oct 18 17:38:15 Ishtar sshd[19952]: warning: /etc/hosts.allow, line 73: host name mismatch: Athenae != (null) (::ffff:192.168.3.140) Um....Athenae has 2 interfaces, one at 192.168.3.12, and another at 192.168.3.140. Isn't the ::ffff: some sort of ipv6 compatibility address (that I thought had been abandoned?)... Why is it seeing my addr as such athenae isn't USING IP6 addessing?!? (Athenae is a Windows 7 machine with the ipv6 stack turned off). It's talking to a server Ishtar which does have a an ipv4 and ipv6 (that mostly goes unused except for testing).... it looks like a scope link address (/64) but it looks like it with the local hosts, it's **sometimes** interpreting them as 48 bit hosts. This started happening right around ipv6 day...did something change that might cause this? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] editing libreoffice file on samba share
by lynn 20 Oct '11

20 Oct '11

If I open a samba share in Dolphin: smb://hh1/stuff and then click to open a libreoffice file: 1. It opens a cached copy of the file from /var/tmp/kdecache-user to edit. Saving the file saves the cached copy, not the original file. 2. No lock file is created. 3. When I leave libre office it tells me the file has been changed and do I want to upload it. Hopeless for sharing the file as anyone can work on the cached copy It works as expected if the file is on an NFS share. If the file is open, subsequent clicks give a read only copy and you can see the dot file created as a lock. I think the problem is that Samba does not accept the characters used to name the lock file but articles on this are misleading. Does anyone know a workaround or a fix? 11.4 server and client. Thanks. L x -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
