Re: [opensuse] opensuse 12.1 locks up
by michael＠actrix.gen.nz 29 Jan '12

29 Jan '12

Someone asked if I was using packagekit - I wasn't. As I understand it packagekit is hooked into something that runs in the panel, I normally shut down the panel item if I ever see it. But I always update using Yast2, so it was not the cause of any issues for me. If I were you, I'd use speedtest.net and run a few speed tests - see if flash does in fact cause you any issues. If it does, try using you system without any flash pages active and see if it is more stable. If you can run speedtest several times without issues, then your problem may be different than mine. It would be good to be able to narrow down something that definitly causes it to crash. Your problem could still be due to hardware issues such as bad RAM or bad BIOS optimisations. Some BIOS's have options to load safe-defaults or load optimised-defaults - might be worth trying. It might also be worth booting into memtest86 (the SUSE installer DVD has a memory test option which is probably just memtest86).

[opensuse] Problem updating dolphin

29 Jan '12

Since some days, I get this error message on updating opensuse via zypper dup from 11.4 to 12.1 Retrieving: dolphin-4.7.2-4.4.1.x86_64.rpm [done (379.3 KiB/s)] Digest verification failed for dolphin-4.7.2-4.4.1.x86_64.rpm.

This error occurs also, when I use a different update sources (eg. ftp5.gwdg.de). Can someone check, if there is a problem with this package?

[opensuse] apache log entries wpad 404
by Patrick Shanahan 28 Jan '12

28 Jan '12

My netgear WGT624v3 bit the dust and I became in possession of a cisco E2500. All apparently works properly, some better, but.... My apache log is filling with: 192.168.1.1 - - [28/Jan/2012:17:09:28 -0500] "GET /wpad.dat HTTP/1.1" 404 1043 "-" "-" and 192.168.1.1 - - [28/Jan/2012:14:01:21 -0500] "GET /wpad.dat HTTP/1.1" 404 1043 "-" "System.Net.AutoWebProxyScriptEngine/2.0.50727.5448" I solved the multiple access attempts due to page-not-found by adding a zero bite file /srv/www/htdocs/wpad.dat, but still get log entries that I didn't get with the netgear router. I see that wpad is a "proxy look up" table... which I don't see any use for. How can I configure the system/router to not attempt wpad.dat lookups? google explains much, maybe too much, but offers no plausable solution to my problem that I have discovered. I seriously believe it is directly related to the cisco E2500 router as I never had the log entries before installing/configuring the router on 11 Jan 2012. 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

[opensuse] eyeballs

Hi All, I apologize for this OT question but it's extremely brief and my eyes are getting cranky. Could somebody please verify I haven't mangled this IPv6 PTR / rDNS string? I've been looking at this stuff so long today all the 0's and dots and 1's are running together. 2001:740:22:3::ab --> cehartung.com b.a.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.3.\ 0.0.0.2.2.0.0.0.0.4.7.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa.

[opensuse] conflicting partition size
by James D. Parra 28 Jan '12

28 Jan '12

Hello, A while ago I cloned a smaller hard dive with my Suse OS to a larger 1 TB drive. Every thing works well how ever the "/" partition still shows the original partition size and not the true size of the partition. For example, 'df' shows the partition as 359 GB; #df -h / Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda4 359G 309G 51G 87% / <snip> However parted shows the correct size and 670GB; (parted) print Model: ATA WDC WD1002FBYS-0 (scsi) Disk /dev/sda: 1000GB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B Partition Table: msdos Number Start End Size Type File system Flags <snip> 4 330GB 1000GB 670GB primary xfs type=83 <snip> What can I do to fix this?

[opensuse] kmail and kwallet
by eddie 28 Jan '12

28 Jan '12

I do not want to use kwallet. However, kmail the latest version no longer has the option to store the password otherwise (as far as I can tell). Therefore I have to enter my password each time. Does anyone know of an alternative perhaps even as alternative mail client?

[opensuse] Thunderbird: Everything is 'fraft'
by Anton Aylward 28 Jan '12

28 Jan '12

I had a power-out crash (don't ask) and when the machine came back up after plugging the power cord in again and locking the cat out I find Thunderbird misbehaving. It is as if its lost a lot of context. Oh, all the account settings were there but all 'history' had been lost, the counts on the folders, and the "moveto -> recent" history. What's weird and what I can't seem to refine a google query to find is this: 1. Every message in every folder is now a 'draft" as in it says "This is a draft message" and shows an edit button. EVERY message in EVERY folder, not just the ones in the draft folder. Its as if every folder has been marked 'draft' 2. When I do move stuff from inbox to another folder (or 'possible junk' to false-positive or false-negative) the destination folder should be added to the 'recent' history. It isn't, that remains empty. I've not met this problem before and it hasn't happened before this morning's cat-and-the-cable incident. If anyone has any ideas about this I'd be grateful.

[opensuse] [Phoronix] XFS Developer Takes Shots At Btrfs, EXT4
by Anton Aylward 28 Jan '12

28 Jan '12

http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTA0NzM What I conclude from this is that there is no 'one size fits all' file system. "Scalability" is not going to be relevant if you don't have big FS or a FS that is being loaded up large (e.g. video) files. There are many parts of the Linux (and for that matter many other OSs) file hierarchy that do not need large files. A FS like Reiser or BtrFS that can fit smaller files in one allocation block so as to eliminate 'wasted space' may be more appealing in some situations. And lets not forget that by its very nature, some of what a FSCK has to do in going to be at least O(2), so large file systems, be it in the number of files or the number of allocation blocks, are going to be expensive in time and possibly memory for a FSCK. And then there's the issue of backups ... Well hurry on the 3.3 kernel! http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTA0NDU -- I would rather try to persuade a man to go along, because once I have persuaded him he will stick.

[opensuse] nfsv4 kerberos problem
by lynn 28 Jan '12

28 Jan '12

Hi I've setup an nfs4 server in Yast. I enabled gss security, created an nfs principal and extracted it to /etc/krb5.keytab. That seems OK because without the keytab, the nfsserver would not start. Yast has created this: cat /etc/exports /home *(fsid=0,crossmnt,rw,root_squash,sync,no_subtree_check) mount -t /server:/ /mnt works fine, but makes no mention of Kerberos. I've tried /home gss/krb5(fsid=0,crossmnt,rw,root_squash,sync,no_subtree_check) and /home *(fsid=0,crossmnt,rw,root_squash,sync,no_subtree_check,sec=krb5) both of which give: mount.nfs4: access denied by server while mounting server:/ as does mount -t nfs4 server:/ /mnt -o sec=krb5 The server starts OK: Jan 27 22:45:07 hh3 nfsserver[7449]: Starting kernel based NFS server: svcgssd idmapd mountd statd nfsd sm-notify..done Kerberos is working OK elsewhere but what am I missing for the nfs service? What is the method to mount correctly kerberized? is what I've done enough?
