[opensuse] yast-CA sha512 / sha256
by Hans Witvliet 08 Sep '11

08 Sep '11

Hi all, For some time i've used the yast-ca module for creating CA's, sub-CA's and server certificates without a hitch. Now, unfortunately some have decided to use polarssl-libs instead of openssl-libs. My first hick-up, was that polarssl does not accept keys beyond 4K, so i had to rebuild my chain of CA's. Next issue is that with yast-CA, SHA512 is apperently used, and polarssl is to stupid to handle more than sha256. Within yast-CA i couldn't find an option to choose between any SHAxxx. So i presume this is somewhere set as a default. But where? Hans -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Does 'calc' exist as an 11.4 rpm somewhere?? (the CLI calc not office calc)
by David C. Rankin 08 Sep '11

08 Sep '11

Hey guys, Anybody packaged 'calc' as an rpm for 11.4 somewhere. Search on opensuse didn't turn it up. The source is: http://www.isthe.com/chongo/src/calc/ homepage: http://www.isthe.com/chongo/tech/comp/calc/ The srpm doesn't rebuild right away, but the tarball builds fine. (make, sudo make install). I will look into the srpm when I get a chance, but I was hoping it was already done :) -- David C.

[opensuse] oS 12.1 MIlestone 6 = Beta 1
by Basil Chupin 08 Sep '11

08 Sep '11

In suse-announce, Jos Poortvlient just posted that Milestone 6 has been renamed openSUSE 12.1 Beta 1 and has provided the URLs where it could now be obtained for testing (which is the reason why it has been named Beta 1). However, the URL mentioned refers to Milestone 5 and/or oS 11.4.... If anyone knows that the correct URL(s) are to get the Beta 1 please either let Jos know or please post here so that I, and others, can download the Beta 1. Thanks.

[opensuse] Kmail2 does not show inbox messages
by Constant Brouerius van Nidek 08 Sep '11

08 Sep '11

Due to a sudden interruption of my computer I had to reboot and now the inbox does not show the messages which are available. A new message was shown after it was uploaded but the counter said there were 2 unread messages. Looking in the /.kde4/share/apps/kmail2 directory I found 8 emails in the inbox. When I tell the kmail program to Update the inbox folder I get the message: KMail folders: Error while reading mails from the folder box. In the meantime two new emails have entered and are shown in the inbox folder. The missing 7 are still not there. I have the idea that I should assist akonadi by deleting a database and let akonadi have a fresh start. Or I could read the 7 missing emails in e.g. midnight commander and delete or move? them after reading. Or are there better ways to get kmail2 working properly again? -- Linux User 183145 using LXDE and KDE4 on a Pentium IV , powered by openSUSE 11.4 (i586) Kernel: 3.1.0-rc4-4-desktop LXDE WM & KDE Development Platform: 4.7.1 (4.7.1) 14:55pm up 0:43, 3 users, load average: 2.14, 3.36, 2.84 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Limit for keyboard layouts?
by Stan Goodman 08 Sep '11

08 Sep '11

My keyboard is configured for four layouts. Now I have tried to add a fifth. The added layout appears in the window of the layours tab, but is overlayed with grey. The small window for the number of layouts won't allow an increase, but will accept a reduction to three. The Help screen for this tab says nothing about a limit to four, or any other number. What is imposing this limit? -- 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

[opensuse] GoogleEarth

I have installed GoogleEarth. That went without incident. Now when I try to load it, the bouncing mini-icon bounces for a while (there is no disk activity), then stops, and GoogleEarth isn't loaded.
