[opensuse] root login via graphic console
by Roger Oberholtzer 15 Dec '12

15 Dec '12

On a 12.1 system, I cannot log in as root via KDM/XDM. I remember this change from a while back and have made these changes in /etc/sysconfog/displaymanager: DISPLAYMANAGER_ROOT_LOGIN_REMOTE="yes" DISPLAYMANAGER_ROOT_LOGIN_LOCAL="yes" DISPLAYMANAGER_SHUTDOWN="all" In addition, in /etc/sysconfig/security, I have: PERMISSION_SECURITY="easy local" Nonetheless, I get a popup that root logins are not allowed. Did I miss a setting? The system is up-to-date, running KDE 4.9.4 Yours sincerely, Roger Oberholtzer Ramböll RST / Systems Office: Int +46 10-615 60 20 Mobile: Int +46 70-815 1696 roger.oberholtzer(a)ramboll.se ________________________________________ Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.

[opensuse] YaST appears 'squished'
by Monte Milanuk 15 Dec '12

15 Dec '12

So... new install of 12.2 on Lenovo ThinkPad T530, 1600x900 resolution, selected XFCE as default WM. When I open up any YaST module , it always comes up in a fairly small box on the screen (maybe 4" w x 3"h) regardless of how it is configured when I close it out. I then have to drag/expand it to a usable size, and click/drag all the frames between window areas to get them to where I can actually read/use the menus and lists contained within. Any ideas on why this is happening, and on how to fix it? TIA, Monte -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] systemd service units with ExecStartPre=-/bin/echo 'Starting something:' ?
by Per Jessen 14 Dec '12

14 Dec '12

I have a couple of systemd service units with ExecStartPre=-/bin/echo 'Starting something:' (e.g. spamd and postfix I think). The echo just leaves lines like these in /var/log/messages: 2012-12-07T12:23:48+01:00 dupont5 echo[2799]: Starting mail service 2012-12-07T16:15:03+01:00 dupont5 echo[4778]: Starting spamd: I was just wondering what the purpose of this ExecStartPre is? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (-1.4°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] how to set global environment variables in crontabs
by Meike Stone 14 Dec '12

14 Dec '12

Hello list, I've a question related to cron on SuSE. I like to set global environment variables for all cron jobs. I see, that per default the cron runs a /bin/sh (link to /bin/bash). But in this mode of bash, the profile file will not included. So my questions are: 1) Is there a possibility to set global environment variables with using /bin/sh? 2) Or if not, how do I configure the /bin/bash as default for all crontabs? I know, that I can set environment variables in the crontabs (cron.d, cron.daily, ...) itself, but that is not the requested solution. I tried to set the SHELL=/bin/bash in the /etc/crontab, but that is not working!

[opensuse] Opensuse 12.2 - Disable turning off display and following symlinks with samba
by James Pifer 13 Dec '12

13 Dec '12

I recently updated my mythtv systems to opensuse 12.2 and mythtv 0.25. I'm still having a couple opensuse nagging issues and hoping someone here can help. 1) My frontends go to sleep and turn the displays off even if I'm watching something. Hitting a key on my remote does not wake them up, I actually have to go hit a key on the keyboard. Looking at System Settings I cannot find an option under Power settings to never turn off the display. Where can I disable this? 2) On my backend system I have samba configured with symlinks to get access to my recorded programs and using myth's script to write them in friendly names. I just use the "homes" share. When I try to copy or open any of the recordings I get permission denied. I have the following in settings for samba: [global] workgroup = WORKGROUP printing = cups printcap name = cups printcap cache time = 750 cups options = raw map to guest = Bad User include = /etc/samba/dhcp.conf logon path = \\%L\profiles\.msprofile logon home = \\%L\%U\.9xprofile logon drive = P: usershare allow guests = Yes unix extensions = no follow symlinks = yes wide links = yes [homes] comment = Home Directories valid users = %S, %D%w%S browseable = No read only = No inherit acls = Yes Any help or suggestions are appreciated. thanks, James -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

Hello everybody, I am looking for a hot-plug capable SATA card with 4 or 8 ports with PCIe interface. It is very important for me that the kernel supports this card out-of-the box.

[opensuse] open source software for interactive whiteboard
by Josep M Sole 11 Dec '12

11 Dec '12

As a teacher I've to manage with interactive whiteboards. Fortunately there is a nice open source project called open-sankoré (former uniboard) with versions for linux. But only for Ubuntu and Devian. Is there any way to get it in opensuse related repositories? or any other way? Thanks in advance -- Josep M Solé
