[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

[opensuse] Looking for hot-plug capable SATA card
by Josef Wolf 12 Dec '12

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. Any recommendations? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

Hi Just attempted to log a bug using the link from the Opensuse site. it goes to a novell site then to attachment site when you log in and then sits on a NetIQ Access manager page that is full of nothing. How do you log a fault with opensuse 12.2 shutdown that doesn;t turn off the machine when shut down? regards Ian -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

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

[opensuse] Start up order problems with NetworkManager
by Scott Simpson 11 Dec '12

11 Dec '12

SuSE 12.2 I've switched from ifup/ifdown to NetworkManager for my ethernet devices. All my DHCP addresses are now working swimmingly (using dhclient). However, I have a slight startup order problem. I'm using ypserv/ypbind and automounts that use the NIS maps. When the machine comes up, ypserv/ypbind start correctly but I have to restart ypbind to get it to work (and restart the automounter since it depends on NIS). I don't need to restart ypserv. I think this is some script ordering issue I didn't see with ifup/ifdown. The same is true for my Kerberos server. It doesn't seem to come up using NetworkManager (but does with ifup/ifdown). I'll have to investigate the systemd logs further since I don't know a lot about systemd (yet). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] SuSE 12.2: MTU size wrong causes IPV6 client dhclient6 to fail
by Scott Simpson 10 Dec '12

10 Dec '12

I have my network card configured for IPv4 and IPv6 from my ISP. It isn't getting an IPv6 address. The daemons started are /sbin/dhclient6 -6 -cf /var/lib/dhcp6/dhclient6.eth1.conf -lf /var/lib/dhcp6/dhclient6.eth1.lease -pf /var/run/dhclient6.eth1.pid -q eth1 /sbin/dhcpcd --netconfig -L -E -c /etc/sysconfig/network/scripts/dhcpcd-hook -t 0 -h madhatter eth1 for the IPv6 and IPv4 addresses respectively. When I reboot, my ethernet card has an MTU of 576 which isn't large enough to process an IPv6 address. If I bring down dhclient6, do an ip link set eth1 mtu 1500 and then rerun dhclient6 then it grabs an IPv6 address and assigns it to the interface correctly. How can I change this MTU so I don't have to manually do this? Scott -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
