[opensuse] bash - howto sudo echo X >> Y (sed?)
by David C. Rankin 12 Mar '12

12 Mar '12

Guys, I have an interesting question. I have a file that I need to append information to that is owned by root. Initially I wanted to use echo: sudo echo "X" >> y.txt But, of course the echo has root privileges, but the redirection does not. So then I though about sed. It works, but how do I tell sed to 'append to end of file'? The last word in the existing file is custompkgs, but that isn't guaranteed to stay that way. As it sits, I can: sudo sed -i '/\/custompkgs/s#$#\n\n[local]\nServer = file:///repo\n#' $CHROOT/root/etc/repo.conf How can I omit searching for a word and just tell sed to append at end of file? Or, how can I use echo or cat to do the same thing, but overcome the lack of privilege on the >> ? -- David C.

[opensuse] New monitor, no hi-definition
by j.e.perry＠cox.net 11 Mar '12

11 Mar '12

I bought a new Samsung 23" monitor. It has an HDMI connector, which doesn't seem to work, and a VGA connector, which does. At first, with the HDMI, it worked beautifully in both Windows xp and opensuse 12.1. After a couple of weeks, the HDMI connection failed. Windows shows huge images that you have to push against the edges of the monitor to get to the entire image (sorry, I can't think of a better way to describe it), and suse just says "the monitor reports an invalid VESA mode of 0x31A" and refuses to boot. I tried the VGA connection, and Windows gives a beautiful 1920X1080 image. suse boots, but refuses to go above 1280X1024,which the monitor insists on stretching to the full 1920X1080, giving an ugly, distorted image. With the loss of SAX2, I don't know how to make suse do the right thing on the VGA connector. Google gives a number of similar situations with fixes for ubuntu, but none seem to match mine, and I don't know what to put into the video configuration file to get it. Is there a way to get suse to give me 1920X1080 through the VGA connection?

[opensuse] Why are iputils missing in OpenSuSE 12.1?
by Peter Maffter 11 Mar '12

11 Mar '12

I have installed OpenSuSE 12.1 from the downloadable ISO image (after I bought OpenSuSE 11.3 and 11.4 and the 11.4 version is not working and 11.3 will soon be phased out :-( ). Now I set up a network and wanted to ping another machine in the network and ...wait a minute...there is no ping? There is no iputils? Why on earth didn't they include that in the normal distribution? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] 12.1 installation failure
by Michael Fischer 11 Mar '12

11 Mar '12

downloaded and burned 12.1 iso, 64bit target machine: new Dell XPS X8300 6007BK i72600 Radeon HD 6450 2x500GB disks in hardware raid 1) Initial bits of the install come up ok (get the initial menu) 2) Select "Installation" 3) screen goes to dark flat green, otherwise blank 4) wait a few seconds, hit ESC, screen goes blank white 5) and that's it. Nothing else happens or helps Tried "Check Installation", which had the very odd result of coming up ok, but with the screen wrapped 50% to the right (i.e. the left half of the screen was on the right, and the right half was on the left of the monitor). It did a plain progress meter, eventually deciding that things were OK, then went into the install screens. They "worked" although were still wrapped around. (nice touch that it did detect the hardware raid and seemed happy with it). I stopped at this point, made nervous by the wrapping, etc.. Further tries only resulted in the really bad sequence mentioned first in this email, irrespective of choosing "Installation" or "Check Installation". Suggestions? Thanks.

[opensuse] Installation of 12.1 fails
by Marko Koski-Vähälä 11 Mar '12

11 Mar '12

I'm trying to install 12.1 on a HP 8560w laptop. I have downloaded the 12.1 64bit net install and burned it on a DVD. I have verified the download and checked the media. To be able to verify the media and to install I have to run in text mode. The installations hangs on installing kernel-desktop. Any suggestions on what to do next? I have done exactly the same thing with 11.4 without any problems. /Makkan

[opensuse] Video cards and 12.1
by Michael Fischer 11 Mar '12

11 Mar '12

Having discovered the pleasures of 'nomodeset' with a 12.1 installation (currently paused), I'm wondering about other video card options in case this one gives me trouble. I'd like to avoid the proprietary vendor drivers if possible. Does anyone have experience with any of the following? Radeon 5450 GeForce 210 GeForce 8600GS Particularly in the case of the MOBO having an integrated video card and installing one of the above in PCI. In this case, what does the system do? Does it expose both and ask you to pick? Or does the PCI one "take over", hiding the integrated card from teh OS? Thanks in advance.

[opensuse] New clock/calendar "feature"
by James Knott 10 Mar '12

10 Mar '12

I don't know when it came in, but there seems to be a significant change made to the clock & calendar in KDE on 12.1. Previously, I could click on the clock on the bar, to see the calendar and then close it when I was done. This worked well for years. Now, clicking on the clock causes a small rectangle with the word "Calendar" on it. I then have to click on that, to open the calendar. Then instead of simply closing the calendar, I have to click again on the clock to close the calendar. At least that's the way it's apparently supposed to work. I now have a small square sitting above my bar, which I cannot open further or close. The only way to get rid of it is to log out of the desktop. I guess this is another "improvement" that we can thank the KDE team for. They have an excellent record of taking something that works well and then breaking it. Why couldn't they have left well enough alone? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

It > has to be calculated on the fly. But that does neither contradict Carlos' point nor does it address his argument. /usr might not store the sum of the sizes, but each size for each file. To repeat: -- Both for FAT and for Linux filesystems, you have to read the directory contents. -- Only for Linux filesystems, you have to stat every file. -- Both for FAT and for Linux filesystems, you have to sum the sizes. Summing sizes is fast. Carlos' argument is, by not needing to stat every file, disk usage determination on FAT is much faster, because stat(2) is an expensive operation when it has to be done on many files. Actually, I don't know if stat(2) is really the culprit for slow du; but it's a good bet: I'm quite sure that summing some numbers ain't the issue. Computers are good in adding numbers, much better than in accessing disks... Mind you, I'm not telling that this behaviour would convince me to use FAT beyond an USB stick. ;-) I just want to contribute what I see as a misunderstanding. ;-) Joachim -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Joachim Schrod Email: jschrod(a)acm.org Roedermark, Germany -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] recordMyDesktop
by ianseeks 09 Mar '12

Hi Has anyone had any success recording the sound with this program? I'm using KDE 4.8.1 but running gtk-recordmydesktop (the qt version doesn't seem available). The video side record great but no sound is recorded. The sound config is set to "DEFAULT" and any other value ends the recording with "Cannot find sound card". I have no clue as to how sound is configured, it seems to be a black art. If i check "Sounds" in YAST, it says i have 2 cards configured (SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA) and (nVidia Corporation), this can't be correct as i only have an onboard sound card. I get sound from 2 sources, i have a cable from the card to my monitor and another cable from the card to a set of mini desktop speakers. can anyone point me in the right direction? regards ian -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Data Breach Flaw Found Gnome-terminal, Xfce Terminal and Terminator
by Carl Hartung 08 Mar '12

08 Mar '12

Hi All, Just an FYI: http://linux.slashdot.org/story/12/03/08/1441215/data-breach-flaw-found-in-… Data Breach Flaw Found In Gnome-terminal, Xfce Terminal and Terminator Posted by timothy on Thursday March 08, @10:50AM from the so-it-can-be-fixed-now dept. suso writes "A design flaw in the VTE library was published this week(1). The VTE library provides the terminal widget and manages the scrollback buffer in many popular terminal emulators including gnome-terminal, xfce4-terminal, terminator and guake. Due to this flaw, your scrollback buffer ends up on your /tmp filesystem over time and can be viewed by anyone who gets ahold of your hard drive. Including data passed back through an SSH connection. A demonstration video(2) was also made to make the problem more obvious. Anyone using these terminals or others based on libVTE should be aware of this issue as it even writes data passed back through an SSH connection to your local disk. Instructions are also included for how to properly deal with the leaked data on your hard drive. You are either encouraged to switch terminals and/or start using tmpfs for your /tmp partition until the library is fixed."

[opensuse] Still problems creating directories in /media
by Robert Schweikert 08 Mar '12

08 Mar '12

Hi, I posted a while back about this and got some help in that I needed to move my script from /etc/tmpdirs.d/ to /etc/tmpfiles.d/ to get things setup with systemd. However, this didn't do the trick. The script is executable and has the following content: -> cat /etc/tmpfiles.d/02_media #!/bin/sh mediaDirs=( os11332 os11364 os11432 os11464 os12132 os12164 sle10sp432sdk \ sle10sp464sdk sle11sp132sdk sle11sp164sdk sled1032 sled1064 \ sled10sp432 sled10sp464 sled11sp132 sled11sp164 sles1032 \ sles1064 sles10sp432 sles10sp464 sles11sp132 sles11sp164) for medDir in ${mediaDirs[@]};do test -d /media/$medDir || mkdir /media/$medDir done After reboot the /media directory is empty :( , when I run the script manually the directories are created as expected. Does anyone have an idea why this is not working? Please don't answer with "use sysv-init" as that will not help me. If it's a bug in systemd then I'll just have to wait for a fix.

[opensuse] ssh key generation
by LLLActive＠GMX.Net 08 Mar '12

08 Mar '12

Hi all, I've done the following procedure to get a passwordless login on a remote server: as root: $ ssh-keygen Enter file in which to save the key (/home/your_user/.ssh/id_rsa): <Enter> Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase): <Enter> Enter same passphrase again: <Enter> Your identification has been saved in /root/.ssh/id_rsa. Your public key has been saved in /root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub. The key fingerprint is: (-:) co:ec:aa:a1:de:34:5c:95:24:1d:25:4a:84:aq:65:ca root@server The key's randomart image is: +--[ RSA 2048]----+ | .******* | | ..B-.-. | | kjak | | . ..+<-, | | . #+#^´ | | . | | | | | | | +-----------------+ Then I upload the key as root: $ ssh-copy-id user(a)myserver.org Password: message: Now try logging into the machine, with "ssh 'user(a)ssh.yourserver.org'", and check in: ~/.ssh/authorized_keys to make sure we haven't added extra keys that you weren't expecting. Now, when I login, the password is asked *again*. Where does the id_rsa get used? It is in /root/.ssh/ together with id_rsa.pub when generated by ssh-keygen. I am root when performing the login on the remote server at the moment. Later, I will use a dedicated user. Any suggestions welcome. :-) Dreiel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
