[opensuse] autofs issues
by Mark Marshall 18 Oct '11

18 Oct '11

Hey guys, I want to automount the /usr/local directory from my fileserver (SLES 11 SP1) on my desktop (OpenSUSE 11.4). This is the /etc/exports file on server1: /usr/local xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx(rw,sync) This is the /etc/auto.master on desktop1: #+auto.master /usr/local /etc/auto.local --timeout=300 --ghost And the /etc/auto.local file on desktop1: * -fstype=nfs,rw,nosuid,soft server1.where.ever:/usr/local But I cannot cd into anything under /usr/local after restarting all the daemons, I just get 'No such file or directory'. Where am I going wrong? I don't use LDAP. The autofs RPM is autofs-5.0.3-89.12.1 Thanks, Mark -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] 11.4 released?
by James Knott 17 Oct '11

17 Oct '11

I thought openSUSE 11.4 was supposed to be released in November. However, the website says: "openSUSE 11.4 - A New Hallmark For The openSUSE Project Dear openSUSE Community. Users. Contributors. Fans and friends. The time has come: openSUSE 11.4 has arrived!. After 8 months of hard work, you can learn what is new, download it and upgrade! We are proud to announce the launch of 11.4 in the openSUSE tradition of delivering the latest technology while maintaining stability. The 11.4 release brings significant improvements along with the latest in Free Software applications. Combined with the appearance of new tools, projects and services around the release, 11.4 marks a showcase of growth and vitality for the openSUSE Project! Read on for more details about this release." But at the top left of the page it also says 30 days to go. However, the download link gets the 11.4 DVD ISO. Is it ready? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] System UID and GID reference list available?
by Bjoern Voigt 17 Oct '11

17 Oct '11

Hello, I wonder, if there is any UID and GID reference list (preferable in the form of /etc/passwd or /etc/group) available. The background is, that from time to time I get inconsistencies in my /etc/passwd and /etc/group files. One example: Currently the Smolt cron job on my openSUSE 11.4 does not work, because the cron job user "smolt" does not exist. I can not find any "useradd" and "groupadd" commands in the RPM scripts of Smolt. So reinstalling Smolt does not add the missing user. Now I tried to find the correct Smolt entries in a fresh openSUSE 11.4 installation. I found these lines in openSUSE 12.1 Beta 1: /etc/passwd:smolt:x:105:106:user for smolt:/usr/share/smolt:/sbin/nologin /etc/group:smolt:!:106: But the UID 105 and the GID 106 is already taken by user "haldaemon" and group "polkituser" on my openSUSE 11.4 system: haldaemon:x:105:107:User for haldaemon:/var/run/hald:/bin/false polkituser:!:106: I think, the UID and GID numbers are dynamically chosen. But is this really ok in all cases? It would be nice, if there is a list of system users and system groups. Other systems have such lists. For instance FreeBSD has the /usr/ports/UIDs (for system UIDs) and /usr/ports/GIDs (for system GIDs). Or is is really safe to use dynamic UID and GID values for system users?

[opensuse] BURG rpm
by Valerio Mariani 17 Oct '11

17 Oct '11

Dear All, I would like to try and install BURG on my machine. To that end, I am looking for a source rpm package of BURG. It doesn't mater if it is not the latest version, I just want to take a look at the spec file and use it to build mine. I found no trace of a BURG rpm either in the normal repository or the Build Service. I was wondering if someone can provide me with one. Even if it's not an OpenSUSE ntaive package (say, it comes from Fedora or Mandriva), I would still be happy. Of course once I finish my work I will make the rpm available to anyone on the Build Service. Can someone help me, please?

[opensuse] Evolution 3.0.3 buggy (?)
by Marco Calistri 17 Oct '11

17 Oct '11

Hi, It seems Evolution 3.0.3 is suffering of a bug when you are attempting to write a new email: the draft window is opened and randomly during your writing you can notice a message asking for save draft, descart changes or keep writing. This is first time I get this issue and it appears both with Gnome3 and LXDE. Dunno if it is an isolated problem on my system or someone else noticed it. I'm using openSUSE 11.4 x86_64.

[opensuse] cifs files always created as owner root
by lynn 17 Oct '11

17 Oct '11

I mount this share on a client: [users] comment = home folders inherit acls = Yes path = /home read only = No using this: mount -t cifs //192.168.1.2/users /home -o rw,setuid I then login as a user on the client authenticated via ldap. No problem. It takes me to the mounted folder and I can see my files. When I create a file it creates it as owner root:root. Not what I want! How can I create files on the mount as user:group no matter who logs in? Thanks.

Iff there is a better list (in this case: > opensuse-es), the user should _kindly_ be directed to that list. Nice that you came with statement that is inclusive for a whole class of subscribers; all people that don't use English, or some of languages listed in http://lists.opensuse.org/ section User/Support. List description in a wiki is here: http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Communication_channels#Mailing_lists Prompted with jdd response I changed it a bit more: "This is the list for technical support and discussions, but if you are not sure where you question belongs start here! English is used by majority of readers on this list." It doesn't prescribe language, it just tells what is commonly used. Although, common courtesy and high level of tolerance should apply even without explicit description. > HTH, HAND, > -dnh > > PS: Back when opensuse-de was suse-linux and opensuse was > suse-linux-en, we on -de got all those mails.

[opensuse] RE: Possible LibreOffice bug
by Duaine Hechler 15 Oct '11

15 Oct '11

I'm running 11.4 up to date and LibreOffice 3.4.2: Every time I edit an .html file with borders on the whole table, it initially turns off the borders. Make my changes to the data I have to turn the borders back on and save the file. This sounds like a bug, so I would appreciate someone else test this and file a bug if necessary.
