[opensuse] Migrate Quicken to KMyMoney
by Keith Gardner 04 Dec '11

04 Dec '11

My Mac is dying and I have to migrate to Linux that my roommate built. I have migrated nearly everything succesfully, except for Quicken. I'm using Quicken2007 and have tried twice, and it seems KMyMoney imports everything wrong. -- Keith Gardner -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] 12.1 create a screencast
by lynn 04 Dec '11

04 Dec '11

Hi I want to make a screencast. I've looked at this: http://linuxpoison.blogspot.com/2009/05/create-screencasts-on-opensuse-with… and was wondering about alternatives. What do you use? Or are they all more or less the same. Thanks. L x -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] OS12.1 is there a known issue with soft-raid1 ?
by Andreas 04 Dec '11

04 Dec '11

Hi is there a known issue with soft-raid1 on OS12.1? I've got two PCs that won't start a soft-raid1 on reboot. I can set it up with YAST it gets mounted and I can copy files on MD0 after I close YAST. But on the next reboot apears an error that the superblock were unreadable. This happens on both machines. One is an AMD5200 with 4GB RAM and 2 x 300GB HDD. The other one is an old Pentium4, 512MB RAM, 2 x 40 GB HDD. So they are pretty different but show the same problem. Any idea ? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] How do I set permissions for user to install and update with Apper without needing root? KDE module broken.
by Keith Gardner 04 Dec '11

04 Dec '11

I need to set permissions for a user to use Apper for updating and installing programs. The KDE module for dealing with PolicyKit seems to be broken since it doesn't effect the changes made. -- Keith Gardner -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

Your setup is clearly custom anyway, so a little bit more > won't hurt :-) Thanks, that was it, eventually. Actually, using /sbin/modify_resolvconf is what I'm currently doing. But I wanted to understand what's the supported way to handle my use case, since this is a rather standard usage of OpenVPN and there's not much customization going on beyond declaration of certs and IP addresses. So I looked again at openvpn's package content and found /usr/share/doc/packages/openvpn/sample-scripts/client-netconfig.{up,down} which encode netconfig usage. I really thought I checked there but seemed to have overlooked these files.

(ifcfg is not relevant to my use case; OpenVPN sets up its tun interface without any usage of ifcfg.) Just to repeat my use case: I connect to my Wifi network. Then netconfig sets up resolv.conf to use the name server on that network. That's OK most of the time when I'm at customer's sites or so. But at my company, when I use OpenVPN to get into our Intranet, I want to use the Intranet's nameserver as long as I'm connected via VPN. When I disconnect, the Wifi nameserver configuration shall be reestablished again. That worked perfectly with /sbin/modify_resolvconf. I haven't grasped what I need to do to have the same effect with netconfig. I.e., what needs to go into /etc/sysconfig/network/config and how I need to call netconfig in the OpenVPN connection hook.

[opensuse] 12.1 logs filling rapidly
by Patrick Shanahan 02 Dec '11

02 Dec '11

12.1 upgraded (Tumbleweed) from 11.4 x86_64 did I say Tumbleweed my logs are filling with two lines: Dec 2 09:50:30 Crash rsyslogd: imuxsock: recvfrom UNIX: Resource temporarily unavailable and Dec 2 09:44:01 Crash /USR/SBIN/CRON[732]: (root) CMD (/usr/sbin/logwatch --service dmeventd) For the imuxsock problem I see a thread in opensuse from Carlos E.R. where Anders suggested he try kdm rather than gdm and Carlos reported he did not see the log reports using kdm. I am using kdm and *do* see them about every minute. For the dmeventd problem, dmeventd is *not* running and starting it does not stop the log entries. Looks like Bug 724164 but there is no solution. tks, -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
