[opensuse] 12.1 LDAP nscd Samba problems
by lynn 24 Nov '11

24 Nov '11

Hi everyone. Sorry this is a bit long: Scenario: LDAP - Samba Clean install 12.1 server for a single sign an opensuse/win-7 lan. The boot process seems to be broken.The system boots but services take forever to become available. Console 1 does not give a login prompt for over 5 minutes. I have to disable services and then enable them on boot. Using Yast runlevel editor: Disable LDAP, nscd, smb and nmb. Disable Yast LDAP Client. Reboot and login as root: then activate in this order: 1. rcldap start 2. Yast -> LDAP Client -> use LDAP 3. rcnscd start 4. rcsmb start 5. rcnmb start I could see a workaround by putting the commands in /etc/after.local but I would need 2 /etc/nsswitch files. One for the boot without ldap and the other one created by the Yast LDAP Client. What a mess! Anyone any ideas? BTW. Everything works, It's just that I have to start the system manually.

[opensuse] Kdegames3-board and 12.1
by Basil Chupin 24 Nov '11

24 Nov '11

Kdegames3-board contains backgammon which I enjoy playing. I am running 12.1 with KDE4.7.3. The name 'kdegames3' is rather confusing: is this rpm only to be used with KDE3 or will it install and the games play under KDE4.7.x? Thanks for any clarification re this.

[opensuse] Cannot Setup PEAP Connection For Wireless
by Adam Tauno Williams 24 Nov '11

24 Nov '11

When using the network manager if I try to configure an association with an Enterprise/802.1x network that is using PEAP/TKIP the moment I select PEAP [instead of the default Tunnelled TLS] the configuration tool crashes. If I run nm-connection-editor from the command line I get the same effect and see the error message: ** (nm-connection-editor:2104): WARNING **: Invalid setting Wireless Security: Invalid wireless security ERROR:eap-method-peap.c:99:add_to_size_group: assertion failed (widget) Aborted This is openSUSE 12.1 / GNOME 3.

No, AFAICS, it isn't. That report talks about the problem of destroying data on the SSD. My point was that the command "secure erase" makes the SSD firmware think the whole disk is unused and it can use every sector for its internal wear leveling algorithm. For that use case, I don't care if secure erase really erases all data or not. The only important result is that the disk is completely usable. A lot of SSDs have secure erase disabled. (This is called "locked" by hdparm.) In that post you replied to were the actual steps needed to unlock an SSD to be able to issue the command.

I have a "recent" SSD; a Micron Crucial RealSSD C300 bought with a Thinkpad T420s. Crucial is, according to my Net research, one of the reliable SSD suppliers. It is well received on most major hardware comparison sites. But it doesn't set aside 15%, it sets aside 5%. So I added another 10% by my own. This was safety measurements triggered by experience of friends who do enterprise storage SSD deployments (in the 100,000s units) for a living. Up to now, I trusted the guys who plan storage deployments for millions of (virtual= servers... ;-) Do you have hard evidence that this is not needed? Can you post links to measurements or experience reports? Both my friends and I would be interested to see it. (On a personal note: There is not much disk space left on my laptop with SSD disks. I don't use -o discard owing to reliable performance degradition reports, but use fstrim in a cron job.)
