He wanted the whole status info that rcnetwork status used to output. The problem here is, IMNSHO, a severe design mismatch on a high level between the old init.d and the new systemd concept. init.d looked at services as something very general. In fact, anything that shall be started at boot time, ended at shutdown time, or manually in-between, and that might output some status info, is a service for init.d. Anything that might be of interest for a human can be output by the services' status command. For systemd, a service is an initialization of something, or a group of running processes with a master process. A status info is just the information which processes that are, as shown in the example output above, and nothing more. openSUSE systemd proponents, in particular Cristian Rodriguez, have repeatedly called any further wish as unreasonable. I don't know if that view is shared at systemd upstream development, though postings that I've seen indicate that this might be the case (see below for links). If you want, you can read a discussion thread at the opensuse-factory list archive with the subject "Re: Human readable, what is that? (was [12.1] massive data loss in /var/tmp/)", mid to end December. It quickly went downhill into a flame war between systemd oponents and proponents, as happens so often. But inbetween there were postings that presented several use cases for an "ExecStatus" configuration possibility that executes an arbitrary command to get the status. Particularly, LXC container status and AppArmor status were mentioned. These were summarily discarded by Cristian and others. (Cristian was the most vocally, that's why I remember him specifically.) Actually, since their answers did not address the actual use case parts that were cited as problematic, I even prepared a summary post that tried to re-formulate them and addressed specifically Cristian if he could react on these issues technically and not in a polemic way. Sadly, Cristian didn't answer. I don't know if he didn't see it, was fed up by the flame war, or chose to ignore it for other reasons. I don't know the state of the "ExecStatus" proposal upstream, the first three Google page results didn't get me that information. In August, Lennart was against it: http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.sysutils.systemd.devel/3171. In November, a bugzilla ticket mentions it might be needed, but Kay was also very sceptical: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=754127 -- that ticket is not yet closed. In the source, there is a notion of ExecStatus in src/execute.[ch], but I couldn't recognize at first glance if that is about the existing restricted status notion of systemd, or about the eventual introduction of a full ExecStatus configuration possibility. Hope this summary of events that I have read about in the context of service status helps.

[opensuse] ssd configuration
by jdd 25 Jan '12

25 Jan '12

Hello, I wonder if it's a good idea to use a small ssd drive (now afordable) for openSUSE system on a desktop, and with what config. 20Gb is much more than necessary for the system. I suppose it's better to move variable parts to standard HDD (/var, /tmp, /etc??) any experience? thanks jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] hacking a Kerberos cache file
by lynn 25 Jan '12

25 Jan '12

12.1 Hi everyone. Can't find anything below rocket scientist level on this. I've a kerberized process running under k5start which uses a keytab to authenticate, refresh its ticket and so keep on going. The process runs under a unique uid:gid. By default, the ticket caches go into /tmp. Everyone has access to /tmp so I'd like to put this cache somewhere else. I've thought about creating something under /var/cache with 600 uid:gid 1. Is there a correct place for stuff like this? 2. Google tells me that it currently takes around 8 hours to crack a Kerberos key. Does the cache file contain stuff which would give the hacker a head start?

Do have some problem with the KDM login as it just halts at the konsole. Started to look into the configuration of the login manager such as autologin etc. and found that as soon as I wanted to apply the changes I got: "Unable to authenticate/execute the action: (code 4)" Have no idea what code 4 is and as such do not know what to do but google . The solution for above bug: Alt + F2 ==> kdesu systemsettings At least now all the changes are saved. But I am still are without my autologin and still stranded at the konsole.

[opensuse] Tumbleweed: automatic switching between repos
by Dmitry A. Ashkadov 25 Jan '12

25 Jan '12

Hello! I have added Tumbleweed:standard repository. I see that it contains a new kernel. I had opened Online Update, but it showed me no updates (empty list). Then I tried to open Yast software packages manager and clicked menu item "Package" → "All packages" → "update if new version is available". But it didn't offer me kernel updates.

[opensuse] OS 12.1 AMD fglrx video problem solved
by Hans de Faber 25 Jan '12

25 Jan '12

After installation of the amd fgrlx driver I had video problems. glxinfo showed no direct rendering. The solution was to replace the files /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2 and /usr/lib64/libGL.so.1.2 with a link pointing to /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2 and /usr/X11R6/lib64/libGL.so.1.2. I think its an error in the driver install from amd. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
