[opensuse] Access forbidden!
by James Hatridge 12 Jun '12

12 Jun '12

HI all, I get this error when I try to use FF to access my server. Access forbidden! You don't have permission to access the requested directory. There is either no index document or the directory is read-protected. If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster. Error 403 warthog.de Tue Jun 12 15:15:36 2012 Apache/2.2.21 (Linux/SUSE) ############################# I think that its a permissions problem. But I'm not sure what to do. Can someone give me a clue?

[opensuse] OFF: Processor selection
by Istvan Gabor 12 Jun '12

12 Jun '12

Hello: I apologize for this off topic question but this list has high traffic, and many of its members have decent knowledge regarding hardware technical things. I would like to buy a new AMD processor for my Gigabyte (GA-870-UD3) motherboard with AM3 socket. I have selected 3 processors but I don't know which one to choose from these three: 1. AMD Phenom II X6 1045T - HDT45TWFK6DGR (HDT45TWFGRBOX http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/K10/AMD-Phenom%20II%20X6%201045T%20-%20HDT45T… 2. AMD Phenom II X4 960T Black Edition - HD96ZTWFK4DGR (HD96ZTWFGRBOX http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/K10/AMD-Phenom%20II%20X4%20960T%20Black%20Edi… 3. AMD Phenom II X4 910e - HD910EOCK4DGM (HD910EOCGMBOX) http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/K10/AMD-Phenom%20II%20X4%20910e%20-%20HD910EO… I selected these based on price and availability. The prices of these are very close, the difference is less than 20 US$. I don't want to overlock it, I only selected the Black Edition since it is available. My questions: 1. Regarding power consumption: cpu-world site says the following for 1945T: "On socket AM2+/AM3 platforms in the minimum performance state the processor runs at 800 MHz core voltage and has TDP 47.1 Watt" I could not find similar statements for the other two processors. What can be this value in case of tthose? Less than this or similar? My desktop computer is turned on all day (from morning to evening, not overnight) but used only periodically, tehrefore the minimum-power consumption is important. 2. The cpu-world site says regarding the FS bus the following: 1045T and 910e: 667 MHz Memory controller "One 2000 MHz 16-bit HyperTransport link" 960T: 2000 MHz (HyperTransport link) Are these two the same thing expressed by different terms, or is there really difference between them? In the latter case how does it affect performance? All in all I don't know which one to choose that is energy efficient but still powerful. I don't want to replace it within a few years. The computer would run openSUSE (12.2 probably) and has no specific requirements. Any suggestion or opinion is appreciated.

[opensuse] what is wrong with this dhcpd subnet6 declaration?
by Per Jessen 12 Jun '12

12 Jun '12

subnet6 2001:8e0:1011:0::/64 { ... } When I try to start a dhcpd using "/usr/sbin/dhcpd6 -d -6 -cf /etc/dhcpd-v6.conf eth0", I get this message: subnet_number():inet.c:52: Addr/mask length mismatch. I've googled for a while, but found nothing. There must be something obvious wrong with that subnet6 declaration. I know the :0: is superfluous, I've left it there intentionally. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (13.0°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] OpenSuSE 12.1 : KDE: how to make minimized windows kind of "greyed out"?
by Peter Maffter 12 Jun '12

12 Jun '12

In former KDE version I could see, which Windows are minimized in the task bar: [URL=http://www.imagebanana.com/view/p6vebyxv/unusedwindowsKDE.png][IMG]http…] : the 2 firefox in the upper row are maximized the 2 firefox windows in the lower row are minimized. Is this possible in KDE in SuSE 12.1? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

First, ping warthog to check that the IP address above is really used by your system and that the network interface is activated. When that works, telnet warthog 80 Output should be Trying 192.168.0.101... Connected to warthog. Escape character is '^]'. Then enter GET / and the HTML code of your Apache homepage should be output on the terminal. If that works, check the proxy configuration of FF, that it doesn't use a proxy for warthog or warthog.de. That's configured in Edit > Preferences > Advanced > Network > Settings. That www.warthog.de doesn't work is clear, you didn't add that name in your hosts file, and warthog.de is an officially registered domain by a Swedish guy with a DNS record for that server. You saw that server's Web site then.

[opensuse] host file question
by James Hatridge 11 Jun '12

11 Jun '12

HI all, OK, its been a long time since I've set this up and I must be missing something. This is my host file: 127.0.0.1 localhost 192.168.0.101 warthog.de warthog # special IPv6 addresses ::1 localhost ipv6-localhost ipv6-loopback fe00::0 ipv6-localnet ff00::0 ipv6-mcastprefix ff02::1 ipv6-allnodes ff02::2 ipv6-allrouters ff02::3 ipv6-allhosts ############ But when I try to use FF to go to warthog or warthog.de it times out. When I use www.warthog.de I get some odd dating site. I checked my Apache server is up and running. So I must be missing something. Any ideas? Thanks! JIM -- Check out my stamp & postcard collection!

If that's the case -- Anton, my apologies. And I thought Gmane supports keeping threads -- for me, newsreaders are so much better for reading mailing lists that MUAs. Let's see if this post stays in the thread, I'm also using Gmane's NNTP interface for it.

I explained it in the rest of the email that you discarded and obviously didn't read at all. Just for you, to repeat it: *First*, he tries to connect to warthog and warthog.de. It times out. There, his hosts file *is* used. That he doesn't own warthog.de has no relevance at all to this problem. The recommendation of Ken to change the host entry names warthog and warthog.de to some different host names that aren't defined in some DNS server won't change that behaviour a single bit. The IP address of that entry will still be used for connection and it will still time out. By now, we have already established that he simply uses an IP address in this hosts entry that his system doesn't have. That's the reason for "try to use FF to go to warthog or warthog.de it times out", as cited above by you. In my 1st email I also explained why www.warthog.de doesn't work, since DNS lookup is used for that. Just as you wrote as well. I know from your past posts that you're knowledgable. How about helping James with his actual problem? Cheers, Joachim PS: For completeness, hosts entries _could_ be ignored by a misconfigured nsswitch.conf. But that's not probable to be done by a person who asks basic questions about hosts entries. It's not implausible that he doesn't even know what nsswitch.conf is at all. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Joachim Schrod, Roedermark, Germany Email: jschrod(a)acm.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

You used a different one in the hosts file. Use this one. (The "/24" suffix at the end does not belong to the address that is to be put in the hosts entry.) But: If such a hosts entry will work in the future is a different question. That depends on your network infrastructure and the way your ethernet interface's IP addresses are defined. Standard home or SOHO environment is a DHCP server (often from a DSL router box) that serves out the same addresses to a system each time it's asked. If that's your environment, it will probably work for quite some time. Corporate environments or laptops that are connected to different networks over time are completely different beasts and are likely not to work after next boot or at the next network connection.

It is not a technical specification. To get the fine print, please read the manual page: man hosts This manual page describes the format of the /etc/hosts file. This file is a simple text file that associates IP addresses with hostnames, one line per IP address. For each host a single line should be present with the following information: IP_address canonical_hostname [aliases...] Nowhere in the hosts man page is the term domain even named. Furthermore, you can try it out. Add a line 192.168.1.111 xmpl xmple.foo.baz xmpl.example.com www.google.com to your hosts file (with a fitting IP address, of course). Then you'll be able to ping all three names. Of course, you won't be able to use Google any more... ;-) Joachim -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Joachim Schrod, Roedermark, Germany Email: jschrod(a)acm.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
