[opensuse] Samba 4 alienates openSUSE clients
by lynn 01 Dec '11

01 Dec '11

Firstly an apology for the British Tabloid type headline If Samba 4 goes ahead as it is, it will remove the possibility of creating a single sign on for both Linux and windows users. As it stands it makes no provision for integrating Linux users into the AD. IOW What the Yast User and group management module does now for LDAP users will be obsoleted by Samba 4. Are there any plans to Integrate Samba 4 into the Yast User and Group management and be able to create a Linux and Samba 4 user? (As it does at the moment with Samba 3/Linux). I really do think some important issues are being overlooked. https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8635 Thanks Lynn and Steve, linuxcostablanca -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Aisleriot Freecell and Solitaire will not run in 12.1
by Basil Chupin 01 Dec '11

01 Dec '11

Both Freecell and Solitaire are part of the Aisleriot package of games which are really for Gnome. However, I have been successfully running them for years under KDE[#] - until 12.1 :-( . I am not interested in Solitaire but I enjoy playing Freecell. Does anybody know, please, why Freecell, for one, will not run in 12.1 even though it installs successfully and without any dependency problems? Perhaps there is a version of Freecell for KDE (and NOT the one in kpat, thanks, which I consider to be primitive) which is not part of Aisleriot package? Anybody know? [#] I am using KDE 4.7.3 (but it won't run even under the default KDE which comes with 12.1) and kernel 3.1.1 on a 32-bit system.

[opensuse] Firefox or Chromium on tmpfs and contents of /dev/shm
by Roger Luedecke 01 Dec '11

01 Dec '11

I was looking up if and how to put the Firefox cache into a tmpfs, and found it was basically as easy as I thought. However, I saw one comment on the forum whom said that he used '/dev/shm' so he wouldn't have to make a new tmpfs. So, I looked into my '/dev/shm' and saw this "org.chromium.Chromium.shmem.libcef_2473405944504155357" among other things. Is Chromium already using this directory for its cache? I don't even have Chromium installed. -- Roger Luedecke openSUSE Ambassador Ind.

[opensuse] hideous fonts on 12.1
by Roger Oberholtzer 30 Nov '11

30 Nov '11

In GNOME applications run in KDE, the fonts are simply terrible. They are far too big and just look so bad. This includes apps such as firefox and evolution. Probably others. But those are the ones I regularly use. Where is the correct place to say that GNOME apps should use KDE fonts, or even just which fonts they should use? In the KDE Personal Settings app I see where to set this for GTK apps. In that menu it says to set GNOME fonts in the GNOME configuration tools. I don't think it is gconftool-2. And I do not see a reference to a font anywhere in gnome-control-center. So, where to configure this for these apps running in KDE? I did not install GNOME as a whole. Only the apps I use. Maybe that is it? -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] kde network manager plasmoid pain
by lynn 30 Nov '11

30 Nov '11

12.1 I have to give the root password and the wpa password every time I turn on my laptop. click on the plasmoid -> manage connections Choose connection and hit edit A popup appears BEHIND the window (so you have no idea it's there) asking for the root password. A popup appears 'No agents were available for this request' Click OK The Edit network connection window appears. Click on wireless security. The password has been deleted. Reenter the password and it finally connects. You have to do this evert time you boot. What a pain! There is no easy workaround I can find. I see that this was the same in Factory with 12.1 trials. I thought about wicd but it's not easy to install on 12.1. Anyone found a fix?

[opensuse] 12.1 x64 on Dell Latitude E5420
by Adam Sailer 30 Nov '11

30 Nov '11

12.1 x64 on Dell Latitude E5420 Has anyone tried installing 12.1 x64 on a Dell Latitude E5420? I can't get the Installation to start from the DVD installation media. I've verified that the burn is good, it starts up on Optiplex machines. I boot from DVD and select installation, the "Loading Linux Kernel" progress portion completes, then they system hangs on the green openSUSE splash screen with no text. The system is then completely unresponsive. I've tried kernel modes of Default, Safe Settings, No ACPI, No Local APIC, and nomodeset. I've also tried booting Ubuntu 11.10 x64 from a live USB stick, which results in a black screen with blinking cursor. Is there some incompatibility in the 3.x kernel?

What's your point? Lots of Linux software is pay-for.... particularly top tier commercial release software. The Humble Bundle Games are not free... X-Plane is not free... VariCAD is not free... SLED/SLES is not free.... the list of commercial/pay-for software for Linux is rather big. If you want a free flight simulator, then look at Flightgear - while an excellent flight sim on its own, it doesn't come anywhere near X-Plane in any feature or aspect. If you're into flight sims, X-Plane is the best available (it's used in professional flight training simulators, including ones that are FAA certified).

[opensuse] rsyslog problem with openSUSE 12.1
by John Young 30 Nov '11

30 Nov '11

Prior to upgrading my loghost from openSUSE 11.4 to 12.1, I had a large number of clients successfully sending their syslog entries to a central loghost. Since upgrading, all remote syslogging has stopped and I don't know why. I see no errors in /var/log messages on either the loghost or the clients. Having the firewall on or off makes no difference. Checking the rsyslog configuration file with % /sbin/rsyslogd -c 5 -f /etc/rsyslog.early.conf -N1 shows no error. Running syslogd in debug mode like this % /sbin/rsyslogd -c 5 -f /etc/rsyslog.early.conf -nd >rsyslog.debug.log produces copious output, but show no errors (that I recognize as errors). Has anyone else using rsyslog to a central loghost and that has upgraded the loghost to openSUSE 12.1 seen any problems??
