[opensuse] modify_resolvconf vs netconfig: best practice to setup resolv.conf
by Joachim Schrod 02 Dec '11

02 Dec '11

Hi, I've read the man page of netconfig 5 times, and can't make head nor tail out of its description. Maybe somebody here can help me. Please... ;-) My use case: I've got an old 10.3 laptop that shall be be updated to 11.4. The last outstanding issue is OpenVPN. (NetworkManager is not used.) When the OpenVPN connection in a certain configuration is established, a script (written by yours truly) is called that changes /etc/resolv.conf. It uses /sbin/modify_resolvconf to do so; the information about nameservers is supplied by the OpenVPN server. That worked great, and as expected. Well, in 11.4 /sbin/modify_resolvconf doesn't exist any more. Its man page on 11.1 tells me that it's obsoleted by netconfig. (On 11.4, the man page doesn't even exist any more.) So I go forward and try to get the netconfig command line that's supposed to establish dynamic nameserver configuration just for that special OpenVPN configuration (it's my home Wifi/WLAN) without changing the normal /etc/sysconfig/network/config stuff that's used in every configuration. I don't get it. I've read the man page multiple times, and don't know at all how I may get to the simple result that I'm looking for. What command do I have to call in my OpenVPN connection hook script to set up DNS servers for that OpenVPN configuration? (There are other OpenVPN configurations that must not be changed.) Does anybody have a recipe for such a hook script? If anybody answers, thanks a lot in advance, Joachim PS: Or do I simply take the /sbin/modify_resolvconf script of 10.3 and establish it on my 11.4 installation again? PPS: In case it matters: I want, technically, the equivalence of the call /sbin/modify_resolvconf modify --service openvpn \ --process openvpn --pid $PPID --script $0 \ --nameservers "$nameserver" --searchlist "$search" \ --text "DNS options from OpenVPN server $cfg_name" \ --no_restart in netconfig parlance, where the shell vars have the obvious values. Here's in hope that somebody can help, Joachim -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Joachim Schrod Email: jschrod(a)acm.org Roedermark, Germany -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] thunderbird 8 in 11.4, plain text email Print in negative???
by David C. Rankin 02 Dec '11

02 Dec '11

Guys, In tbird 8 in 11.4 when I attempt to print plain text emails to my laserjet 4100n, the emails print with black background and white text (in negative). This kills toner cartridges. I do have a dark theme in kde3, and a dark gtk theme, but that should never cause tbird to print plain text as white on a black background... Is there a setting I can tweak to fix this?? Thanks. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

This may not even be a Thuunderbird problem. I have similar Problems in Suse 11.4 and as far as I know this may well be linked to errors in hplip and ghostscript: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=692905 http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=691759 I know, one deals with graphics in PDF but it is about inverting outputs anyway. As far as I know only hplip has been updated yet. My printer understands PCL as well as PS and the only solution I have at the moment is: Use the PS-driver.

RE: [opensuse] 12.1 x64 on Dell Latitude E5420
by Adam Sailer 01 Dec '11

01 Dec '11

After trying everything I could think of, I set the bios settings back to defaults... Installation is running now. I'll have to test the bios settings one-by-one to see which one was causing the problem. Update: Setting the bios setting for Ethernet NIC to "Enabled" causes linux to not boot. Setting it to "Enabled with PXE" resolves the problem. Can anyone duplicate this?

[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
