[opensuse] USB serial port not found
by Robert Rawlinson 30 Jul '11

30 Jul '11

I have a system running open-suse 11.4. It has no serial ports but I have a USB serial port. For some reason it does not show this port. Does anyone know how to check what is wrong or can point me to how to discover or configure it to work.

In your situation, KDE takes care of personal automounts. This is well known and no surprise. I'm talking about installations where (1) no full-fledged desktop environment like the ones named above is used, and (2) personal and automatic mounts of inserted USB sticks are wanted. E.g., my notebook where I use fvwm2 and Emacs as desktop environment. ;-) Joachim -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Joachim Schrod Email: jschrod(a)acm.org Roedermark, Germany -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] ssh through vpn tunnel, openSUSE 11.4
by Istvan Gabor 29 Jul '11

Hello: As I could not make Cisco vpnclient work in openSUSE 11.4 I have to look for another solution. Therefore I installed and configured shrew/ike as described at http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/how-faq-forums/u… I can start ikea, load the vpn profile and can connect. Shrew soft VPN Connect windows shows: bringing up tunnel... network device configured tunnel enabled But there is no traffic through the tunnel, eg.

As long as one doesn't use GNOME, KDE, or XFCE, ivman was a nice tool to get automatic hot-plug mounts in these environments. AFAICS, ivman is not maintained any more upstream, at http://ivman.sourceforge.net/. Last update there was in 2007; dependency on HAL won't go away. Thus, I would say it's probable that one has to look for another similar tool in such non full-fledged desktop environments, if one doesn't want to do manual mounts there. Anybody knows of such a tool, i.e. one that is not HAL-dependent but uses udev/udisk, to issue user mount requests on plug events? Or shall one has to write udev-rules that issue pmount commands?

[opensuse] there is still power to mouse and keyboard after shutdown
by George Olson 29 Jul '11

29 Jul '11

Hi to all, After I power off my system, I still have power to my mouse and keyboard as indicated by the laser light on the mouse and the numlock light on the keyboard. Is there any way that SUSE can help me figure out if this is a power module problem on my motherboard? Do I need to update the BIOS on my motherboard? Before I was using windows XP, and it did the same thing, but I just installed openSUSE 11.4 (x86_64) so I was thinking that there might be something that is fixable using SUSE but was not fixable using windows (I have a lot of other reasons for going to SUSE besides this).
