[opensuse] Kernel 2.6.38-rc5 and opening LUKS encrypted device
by Malte Gell 18 Feb '11

18 Feb '11

Hello, to get my DVB-T stick running i had to upgrade to kernel 2.6.38-rc5 from the Kernel:Head repo. Now, when I open my LUKS encrypted /home partition I always get these messages: Buffer I/O error on device dm-0, logical block 5 What does that mean? I still can open the encrypted partition without any problems. Does this message mean there is something going on that might harm the LUKS partition?

When I startup Chromium using the latest builds from the contrib repository, I am asked for a password to a keyring "deafult". What feature of Chromium needs this and how can I disable it?

I tried to export the mount point itself with the following added to my exports file - /media/My\040Passport 192.168.2.0/255.255.255.0(rw,root_squash,sync,no_subtree_check) which got a whine from the NFS server saying it was unsupported. rcnfsserver restart Shutting down kernel based NFS server: nfsd statd mountd idmapd done Starting kernel based NFS server: idmapdexportfs: Warning: /media/My Passport does not support NFS export. mountd statd nfsd sm-notify done And the export of /media/My Passport is not available to mount on another system. So perhaps you are correct, NFS may not be inconsistent, within its security framework, but this security rule is restricting the usability of our systems and apparently making Linux+NFS an unsuitable choice for our needs. It also breaks the model implied by using simple commands such as cp, mv, chmod, etc. I remain uncomprehending as to why, I as a user/systems admin, cannot use MY system(s) in such a way as to easily meet MY/OUR needs, and this is proving to be a case in point... I still believe that if I don't want all this security I should be able to easily turn it off, or at least have control over it and use easy to understand models and tools to configure it.. That is my choice and risk to take, especially in a small SOHO network on my own systems. I will use security, such as firewalls where needed, but I don't want it getting in my way elsewhere. Accessing a USB drive through a Samba share at least allows read access on a mounted USB drive, and that gets us halfway to what we want. We can see and pull files across the network from a USB drive when accessing it through a Samba share, just can't push files to a USB drive. Perhaps there is a way to get it to allow write access also, I dunno, but at this point I think I will go explore it further... Some questions I do have, does anyone know where HAL/UDEV does the actual mount of a USB drive when it is plugged in? Can those mount options be directly configured? I don't understand how the configuration for usbfs in fstab gets translated into mount options when the device notifier causes the actual mount to occur, (when a USB drive is plugged in) so perhaps pointers to documentation would help... (I have found some high level docs on the internet, but nothing specific yet.) Alternatively, is there a way to give a user, coming in to a system via a cd or mv command though a mount/share, from across a network, the same permissions/capabilities as a local logged in user has? Perhaps that is another approach I could take, if it is possible.. Thanks again in advance...

[opensuse] bookmark toolbar in konqueror
by eddie 17 Feb '11

17 Feb '11

Hi All I'm not sure what happened but konqueror seems not to be able to display the bookmark toolbar anymore. I was running kde 4.5 but upgraded to 4.6 to see if it would solve the konqueror problem. I have tried deleting the konquerorrc file in ./kde4/share/config to no avail. Would be grateful if anyone has a solution as the bookmark toolbar is one of the reasons that I prefer using konqueror above the rest. Thanks in advance Eddie -- Delight thyself also in the Lord and He shall give thee the desires of thine heart.

[opensuse] Inconxixtency in HOSTNAME
by Stan Goodman 17 Feb '11

17 Feb '11

In the years that I have been using this laptop machine (or its predecessor), its hostname has been "chipotle", and the root prompt in terminals has been "chipotle". Recently the prompt has been "localhost" instead; I do not know what brought this about. I opened /etc/HOSTNAME, and found that what is written there is still "chipotle.hashkedim.com". Why is this being ignored? How can I change the prompt to what it should be? -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
