[opensuse] Renumbering of DVB devices?
by Per Jessen 08 Nov '12

08 Nov '12

I'm making good progress with getting a Media Center to run MythTV, but the arbitrary numbering of DVB devices after a reboot is a major nuisance (2 single-receiver cards, one dual-receiver with CAM). I guess I'll have to write some udev rules, but I thought I'd ask here just in case somebody's got a better idea? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (5.2°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free DNS hosting, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Firewall rules for SAMBA
by Otto Rodusek 08 Nov '12

08 Nov '12

Hi ListMates, Would anyone know if it's possible to create firewall rules to allow only certain IP address to enter my Linux Server (Opensuse 12.2 x86_64) running samba (3.6.7-48.12.1.x86_64) from outside so that I can map samba shares from remote locations (windows XP). For example, I would like to ONLY allow ip address 94.90.115.82 (ports tcp 139 & 445) and drop all other ip address trying to access those ports. Actually, I have 3 remote locations so there would actually be 3 different ip addresses to define. Thanks for any help. Best regards. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Nvidia problems
by ianseeks 07 Nov '12

07 Nov '12

Hi Has anyone's graphic config gone tits up? I've run Yast and it downloaded some updated Nvidia files and now i can't load a graphics session without using the "Failsafe" option. >From what i can see, the correct nvidia modules are installed (according to nvidia's site) but... depending how i check which board i have installed i can get more than one description of the board. If i use Yast/Hardware, it tells me its a GT200 Geforce 200 (Display section) and a GT218 (Framebuffer section). Now if i save that Yast/Hardware output to a file and search for "nvidia" in that file, it tells me its a Geforce FX5500 I've got this installed:- nvidia-gtxG01-kmp-desktop vers: 173.14.36_k2.6.37.1_1.2-17.1 X11-video-nvidiaG01 vers: 173.14.36-18.1 Can anyone point me to a place to check what the problem is? What also worries me that using the standard tools (Yast2) for updating, it can install "bad" versions (in the sense there is a mismatch somewhere). I really hate these graphics issues as they baffle me no end. regards Ian -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] XFCE : Purpose of /.cache/tracker/meta.db ??
by ellanios82 07 Nov '12

07 Nov '12

- having asked : Purpose of /.cache/tracker/meta.db ?? ........... Jos Poortvliet kindly explained : About the relationship with Akonadi, it is a very different thing. Tracker is more like Nepomuk (but tracker has a smaller scope - it mostly just indexes text, while Nepomuk tries to find and track relations between data). Akonadi is a (shared) cache of PIM data (mails, contacts, tweets, facebook messages, stuff like that). Akonadi uses Nepomuk to index and search the data in its cache. ............ - Many thanks, Jos best regards Ellan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Browsers : google-chrome, and, chromium
by ellanios82 07 Nov '12

07 Nov '12

- i had asked & Rajko answered : > - what please are the key differences between > google-chrome, and, chromium ?? The important one is that Chromium is for Chrome browser, what is openSUSE to SUSE enterprise products, or Fedora to Red Hat enterprise products. It is test bed without few things that make user experience better. -- regards Ellan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
