[opensuse] openSUSE 12.2 lockup starting DM after exiting startx
by Felix Miata 31 Dec '12

31 Dec '12

I've a bunch of systems with OS 12.2, but only one or two with TDE. On the one currently wired up, which uses sysvinit-init instead of systemd init, I normally boot to runlevel 3, same as on most of my systems. If as normal user I do startx -- :1, exit TDE, and then switch to runlevel 5, the system quickly locks up completely, and puts the display in sleep mode. IIRC, this doesn't happen on KDE3 or KDE4 systems. :-( Where in the world does one begin to try to figure out the cause? Any ideas? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive." Proverbs 16:21 (New Living Translation) Team OS/2 ** Reg. Linux User #211409 ** a11y rocks!

[opensuse] how to turn off Tracker in a config file?

[opensuse] How to pass arguments to X from GDM?
by Roger Luedecke 30 Dec '12

30 Dec '12

I need to do the following, but don't want to switch to KDM: Set this DISPLAYMANAGER_KDM_LOCALARGS="-core" in /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager and also you have to switch to kdm. (Or investigate how to pass arguments to X via gdm or whatever you use.) When you have everything all right, ps should show Xorg -br :0 vt7 ... -core. Now it generates core files on crashes. You can set locations of those by: sysctl kernel.core_pattern=/core Is there any /core* after the freeze occurs? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] automount 12.2: anything changed concerning wildcard keys?
by Joachim Schrod 28 Dec '12

28 Dec '12

Hi, I'm updating a 11.4 system to 12.2, so the change of behavior mentioned below might have happened in between. But I don't have appropriate systems with intermediate distributions to check, so I ask here... I use autofs (a.k.a. automount), with an entry in auto.master /net /etc/auto.net -soft,intr /etc/auto.net reads: * &:/ I.e., any host's root file system shall be available as an NFS share via /net/$HOST. In 11.4, this works. In 12.2, it doesn't. Starting automount with debug/foreground/verbose options (or calling autofs with -m) explains that the respective key (the host name) for /net is not known. Well, it shall be looked up and mounted by automount, but isn't... :-( There are no further error messages in automount output; not anything that would supply a lead for the root cause. I'm not yet ready to debug automount to get further information. ;-) I googled and didn't find any documented change of semantics for autofs/automount. Is this an expected change of behavior, or is this a bug?

Hi all. I have just installed the 32-bit version openSUSE 12.2. I am facing issues with installing the driver for Radeon HD card. I have a 6470m card. I tried two solutions, and both of them failed: 1) 1-click installer for fglrx 2) atiupdate Both of them resulted in loss of GUI.

[opensuse] problem with viewing videos
by Bob Rea 27 Dec '12

27 Dec '12

I am still using 11.0. For some reason, upgrades don't work on this box. Another problem for another day. Anyway I upgraded firefox from 3.5 which was in the repo to 16.0.2. I did it from their site, not a suse rpm, because there is none for 11.0 anymore. I installed firefox at /usr/bin/firefox /usr/lib/firefox /usr/bin/X11/firefox Then I could not see videos. It told me to upgrade flash so I did, from the site given in the error message. It is installed at /usr/bin/flashplayer /usr/bin/X11/flashplayer and /usr/lib/flash-plugin KDE is 3.5.9 I still get the message that I need to upgrade flash and of course, can't see any video such as youtube. Video has been a problem. Firefox has shown them more consistently than Konqi. I may have conflicting or mixed up plugins and I really don't have all the codecs I should. How can I straighten all this out so I can see youtube etc?

[opensuse] Setting up VNC - problems (was: XDMCP as an alternative to a KVM switch
by Anton Aylward 24 Dec '12

24 Dec '12

Well I tried for VNC rather than XDMCP. I installed TigerVNC on my desktop and on my mandriva-upgraded-to-Mageia2 server (thanks for the reference to that solution!) It went remarkably well. There's now a TigerVNC client menu item and I get a window asking for the server and the password. After starting (manually, I haven't bolted it into systemd yet) the server on the server, I filled in the popup and LO! IT WORKED FIRST TIME !! But I'm not pleased because it didn't really work. I got the window from the server (ain't it nice having a big screen so you can have an almost as bit window to another machine ... :-) ) BUT what was in it wasn't my desktop. It was a couple of xterms with error messages about 'locale'. I've tried fiddling with the ~/.vnc/xstartup but so far have had not resolved that. Googling around has produced some examples and ideas but none have worked so far. If anyone has any suggestions I'm open to ideas. Thanks. -- It is bad luck to be superstitious. - Andrew W.

[opensuse] How to get sshguard working in 12.2
by Lew Wolfgang 21 Dec '12

21 Dec '12

Hi Folks, I started to use sshguard <http://www.sshguard.net/> with openSuSE 12.1. The package I had been using for many years to protect Internet facing servers from brute force attacks still worked, but it was a hassle to update the regex log scanning glue when bumping OS versions. I really like sshguard, but I had some issues installing it in 12.1 even though the package was available in the openSuSE "security" repository. The main problem was SuSEfirewall2 re-initializing the iptable rules after sshguard during the boot process. Christian (IIRC) helped me to sort things out with the SysV init scripts. But what worked in 12.1 failed in 12.2, it seems that systemd is behaving differently. So I re-addressed the issue and figured out a workaround using custom firewall rules. It would be nice if all this could be sorted out for 12.3, but I thought it valuable to document a workaround for 12.2. sshguard is a good package, but it will never work out-of-the-box without some fumbling around. My workaround will only protect ssh, but it's easy to modify to include other services. Another note: The workaround below doesn't seem to work with IPv6, so I included a line to disable IPv6 in the ssh daemon. This will work in my environment and should give me a chance to sort out what's wrong.

[opensuse] How to set up a fast search for file names?
by Davi C. Rodrigues 20 Dec '12

20 Dec '12

I do like the fast and simple interface of krunner. I just start typing on the desktop and it starts the search. Problem: I cannot configure it to look for file names only. Most of the time, the single search engine I need is for file names, not for file contents. Is there a way to set this? The desired output I can achieve by using the Find within Dolphin, except for two issues: 1) It takes more time to open Dolphin, press Ctrl+F and then starting typing. 2) Each typed word in the search field must appear in the same order of the file name. Hence, if a file is named "Dogs and cats need air.pdf", a search with the entry "cats air" will not find that file. Any ideas?

That image looks like it was taken of a full desktop, but it's > a 1024x576 pixel (still 16:9, same as 1600x900) image. I checked the display setting from inside KDE and XFCE... both report the monitor as 1600x900. I ran the Hardware Probe module from YaST, and it shows the monitor resources as being 1600x900 as well. I don't know if it makes a difference or not... but this system has two video controllers - one is an Intel HD 4000, and the other is an nVidia NVS 5400M. Honestly I'm not really sure which does what, other than they seem to 'just work' and they give *very* good performance (by my standards, anyways) under Win 7 Pro. No problems yet under other distros (Mint, Scientific, etc.). >It may be that > XFCE/Xorg and YaST are somehow out of sync on screen resolution.

Nope. The first time I posted about this was after a fresh install of nothing but XFCE. Had to fool around with some partitions and what not (going for quad boot) and re-installed, this time with a default KDE install and then from the Software Manager installed the patterns for XFCE. Whatever GNOME there is on this system got pulled in as a dependency, nothing more. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] XDMCP as an alternative to a KVM switch
by Anton Aylward 19 Dec '12

19 Dec '12

For years I've used a KVM switch between the machines on and under my desk. between upgrades and acquisitions I'm getting unhappy with this. One acquisition is a larger screen and the KVM is getting in the way of EDID with some of the machines/video cards. So I'm wondering about the alternatives. XDMCP is one. Creating lots of virtual screens aka workspaces (depending on the DM you're using) and opening a telnet in each then ssh'ing or vnc'ing is one way. I can't say its wonderful, not least of all since my desktop runs KDE4 and other machines run variously Xfce and E17 and LXDE and IceWM and openbox ... or can; the Xfce login manager makes it easy to choose between them when the KVM selects the server ... But not all login managers support XDMCP. What do those of you in this situation do? -- I don't suffer from insanity. I enjoy every minute of it. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
