[opensuse] send output to a second terminal?
by lynn 24 Feb '12

24 Feb '12

Hi everyone I want to see the output of a command as in this script: #!/bin/bash samba -i -d3 some-command samba -i sends it output to the terminal and prevents the script from getting to the some-command I've tried: samba -i -d3 > /dev/pts/3 but still it doesn't run some command. Can I see both the output and run some-command afterwards? Thanks, L x -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

Hello! How to setup Russian keyboard layout in console and corresponding symbols (font)? If I press Ctrl+Alt+F1, the console is shown. But I can’t switch keyboard layout (always English). Moreover any russian text is drawn using small rectangles. Thank you! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] News about the future of Flash on Linux

http://blogs.adobe.com/flashplayer/2012/02/adobe-and-google-partnering-for-… Basically... quoting.... "For Flash Player releases after 11.2, the Flash Player browser plugin for Linux will only be available via the “Pepper” API as part of the Google Chrome browser distribution and will no longer be available as a direct download from Adobe." So... unless you use Google Chrome on Linux... no Adobe Flash for you. (there's always Gnash, but is it up to the task?)

[opensuse] Software RAID dieing, help/suggestions please2
by Cody Nelson 24 Feb '12

24 Feb '12

I have a software Raid5 with 4 1TB drives. I first found that the system was hung and couldn't get anything on the screen, rebooted and did some poking around before it went down again. I do have a spare drive but not sure which drive it is. Think I read a drive number giving some errors. Right now that PC is off till I get some information and a plan of action. Each time the server is on, its up for about 30 min, then is unresponsive. Bellow is some of the output, I'd appreciate any help, I'm not use to software raid issues. /dev/md0: Version : 00.90.03 Creation Time : Mon Nov 3 01:30:34 2008 Raid Level : raid5 Array Size : 2930285184 (2794.54 GiB 3000.61 GB) Used Dev Size : 976761728 (931.51 GiB 1000.20 GB) Raid Devices : 4 Total Devices : 4 Preferred Minor : 0 Persistence : Superblock is persistent Update Time : Fri Jan 13 18:28:23 2012 State : active, resyncing Active Devices : 4 Working Devices : 4 Failed Devices : 0 Spare Devices : 0 Layout : left-symmetric Chunk Size : 64K Rebuild Status : 1% complete UUID : 9327adce:9242bb1a:5ddee0bc:b536709a Events : 0.11 Number Major Minor RaidDevice State 0 8 1 0 active sync /dev/sda1 1 8 17 1 active sync /dev/sdb1 2 8 33 2 active sync /dev/sdc1 Oh yea openSUSE 11.1 on an intel celeron 600mhz 512mb ram, 3ware 8 SATA in jbod mode.

[opensuse] Can not install kde 4.8 release version 12.1
by Tony 23 Feb '12

23 Feb '12

When trying to update to kr48 on suse 12.1 (using zypper or yast), the update will fail cause the following files are saying they have the wrong digest: libqt4-4.8.0-245.1x86_64 libqca2-2.0.0-18.2.x86_64 libqt4-x11-r.8.0-245.1.x86_64.rpm libqt4-qt3support-4.8.0-245.1.x86_64.rpm This is happening on any machine I point to kr48, so I'm assuming kr48 is broken, has to be, I can't install kr48. Any help appreciated. Thank You, Tony -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

So you tell me that there might be criminals who pose as small Web site producers who use the work for B&B owners to produce something that attacks my Linux browser with flash plugin? Or who produce fake sites with B&B information and seed that information in tripadvisor and other rating sites so that people like me visit them? In my world, back-on-the-envelop risk analysis tells me that I can take that risk. There are much more important things to pay attention to, securitywise, IMHO.

[opensuse] How do I set group rw on an nfs4 share?
by lynn 23 Feb '12

23 Feb '12

When I create a file in an nfs4 share, I want it to be group rw. This is what I've tried so far: cat /etc/exports /home *(rw,no_root_squash,sec=none:sys:krb5:krb5i:krb5p,no_subtree_check,insecure) 1. Make a folder to share: hh3:/home/CACTUS # mkdir -m 770 dropbox hh3:/home/CACTUS # chown root:suseusers dropbox 2. Mount the share: hh3:/home/CACTUS # mount -t nfs4 hh3:/home /mnt 3. Look at the acls: nfs4_getfacl /mnt/CACTUS/dropbox A::OWNER@:rwaDxtTcCy A::GROUP@:rwaDxtcy A::EVERYONE@:tcy Set an acl so that members of suseusers have rw on the share: hh3:/home/CACTUS # nfs4_setfacl -a A:g:suseusers@hh3.site:RW /mnt/CACTUS/dropbox hh3:/home/CACTUS # nfs4_getfacl /mnt/CACTUS/dropbox/ A::OWNER@:rwaDxtTcCy A::GROUP@:rwaDxtcy A:g:suseusers@hh3.site:rwaDtcy A::EVERYONE@:tcy 4. Back in the unmounted directory, the acl + has appeared: hh3:/home/CACTUS # ls -la dropbox/ total 8 drwxrwx---+ 2 root suseusers 4096 Feb 19 10:55 . drwxr-xr-x 9 root root 4096 Feb 19 10:55 .. 5. On the mounted share, the acl + is not visible. steve6 can create a file but it is _not_ group rw: steve6@hh3:~> cd /mnt/CACTUS/dropbox/ steve6@hh3:/mnt/CACTUS/dropbox> touch hola.txt steve6@hh3:/mnt/CACTUS/dropbox> ls -la total 8 drwxrwx--- 2 root suseusers 4096 Feb 19 11:02 . drwxr-xr-x 9 root root 4096 Feb 19 10:55 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 steve6 suseusers 0 Feb 19 11:02 hola.txt Steps 1-5 were repeated with chmod g+s on /home/CACTUS/dropbox with the same outcome. 6. Recreate the share but this time with a posix acl: setfacl -d -m g::rw /home/CACTUS/dropbox steve6@hh3:/home/CACTUS> touch dropbox/h steve6@hh3:/home/CACTUS> ls -la dropbox/ total 8 drwxrws---+ 2 root suseusers 4096 Feb 19 11:13 . drwxr-xr-x 9 root root 4096 Feb 19 11:11 .. -rw-rw---- 1 steve6 suseusers 0 Feb 19 11:13 h Now when steve6 creates a file it _is_ group rw. = posix acl is working. 7. Mount the new posix share and test again: hh3:/home/CACTUS #chmod g+s /home/CACTUS/dropbox hh3:/home/CACTUS # mount -t nfs4 hh3:/home /mnt hh3:/home/CACTUS # nfs4_getfacl /mnt/CACTUS/dropbox/ A::OWNER@:rwaDxtTcCy A::GROUP@:rwaDxtcy A::EVERYONE@:tcy A:fdi:OWNER@:rwaDxtTcCy A:fdi:GROUP@:rwaDtcy A:fdi:EVERYONE@:tcy steve6@hh3:/mnt/CACTUS/dropbox> touch h2 steve6@hh3:/mnt/CACTUS/dropbox> ls -la total 8 drwxrws--- 2 root suseusers 4096 Feb 19 11:19 . drwxr-xr-x 9 root root 4096 Feb 19 11:11 .. -rw-rw---- 1 steve6 suseusers 0 Feb 19 11:13 h -rw-r----- 1 steve6 suseusers 0 Feb 19 11:19 h2 hh3:/home/CACTUS # nfs4_getfacl /mnt/CACTUS/dropbox/ A::OWNER@:rwaDxtTcCy A::GROUP@:rwaDxtcy A::EVERYONE@:tcy A:fdi:OWNER@:rwaDxtTcCy A:fdi:GROUP@:rwaDtcy A:fdi:EVERYONE@:tcy hh3:/home/CACTUS # nfs4_setfacl -a A:fdi:GROUP@:RWX /mnt/CACTUS/dropbox hh3:/home/CACTUS # nfs4_getfacl /mnt/CACTUS/dropbox/ A::OWNER@:rwaDxtTcCy A::GROUP@:rwaDxtcy A::EVERYONE@:tcy A:fdi:OWNER@:rwaDxtTcCy A:fdi:GROUP@:rwaDxtcy A:fdi:EVERYONE@:tcy steve6@hh3:/mnt/CACTUS/dropbox> touch h3 steve6@hh3:/mnt/CACTUS/dropbox> ls -la total 8 drwxrws--- 2 root suseusers 4096 Feb 19 11:21 . drwxr-xr-x 9 root root 4096 Feb 19 11:11 .. -rw-rw---- 1 steve6 suseusers 0 Feb 19 11:13 h -rw-r----- 1 steve6 suseusers 0 Feb 19 11:19 h2 -rw-r----- 1 steve6 suseusers 0 Feb 19 11:21 h3 Still no group rw on created files. = nfs4 acl is not working as expected. Workaround. Round peg, square hole: #!/bin/sh while true; do $(chmod -R g+w /home/CACTUS/dropbox); sleep 2; done Question: What am I missing? How do I set files created on an nfs4 share to take group rw? Thanks, L x -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] configuring inn for mailing list gateway
by jdd 23 Feb '12

23 Feb '12

Hello :-) I try to configure inn and mailman as gateway for only one mailing list :-( I have mailman running and from there it seems easy to feed the news server (not yet tried) I now try to install inn. Right now it seems to work. I can connect to the server with thunderbird but I have a "Erreur avec les groupes (NNTP) : You have no permission to talk. Goodbye!" message On a first step I would like to open the group for anybody (on a second step, I would like to limit it to the mailing list subscribers, but I will see this later) I don't find the way on the inn faq port 119 is open and masqueraded from the gateway. I didn't have this error message before masquerading, so I beg it's inn that give it? there was an other server at the same URL before (dead), do this can give a problem? openSUSE 12.1 everywhere any help? thanks jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

I don't know if I made clear that I want to create a news group, for the use of my lug. This group have to be freely accessed by anybody, but do not need to be feeded (but can be without problem if somebody wants) by the way here is the mode: /usr/lib/news/bin/ctlinnd mode Server running Allowing remote connections Parameters c 10 i 50 (0) l 5000000 o 1011 t 300 H 2 T 60 X 0 normal specified Not reserved Readers follow enabled Perl filtering enabled any link to a recent documentation should be appreciated thanks jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

It's not that these sites want me, I want them. For example, many touristic sites (B&Bs, small hotels, restaurants) are flash only. I'm quite sure that they didn't choose that technology. Some small company came in, presented some shiny lively method to be "on the Web", and the owners purchased it. Prices are ridiculously small for such work, you won't get real designs that way. (This is a statement of fact, I often contract good communication designers.) How shall those owners know that it's bad technology that they choose? They are no technicians. Most of them don't even know to operate the Windows system properly. E.g., I have restaurants that send around their changing menus be email -- in Excel format... Those few restaurant owners that I talked about that couldn't even understand the problems. One of them asked me to change it and set up a new process. When she heard about our hourly consulting rates, she staid with the Excel solution... And if I'm planning a holiday or some trip, I want to know about the opportunities for eating, tasting wine, going out, and sleeping. And I won't let technical snobbiness get into the way of that information gathering.
