[opensuse] bind DNS: forwarders not working unless named is restarted
by lynn 04 Jul '12

04 Jul '12

Hi 12.1 in HA setup with 2 DNS corresponding to two replicating DC's. DC1 192.168.1.2, DC2 192.168.1.3 Our internal zones are loaded fine after boot, but hitting any of the forwarders pointing out to Internet fails. Here is the line in /etc/named.conf on DC1: forwarders { 217.70.240.135; 217.70.70.136; 192.168.1.3 }; and on DC2: forwarders { 217.70.240.135; 217.70.70.136; 192.168.1.2 }; Both the forwarders are online and nslookup-able e.g.: lynn@hh1:~> nslookup > 217.70.240.135 Server: 192.168.1.2 Address: 192.168.1.2#53 Non authoritative answer: 135.240.70.217.in-addr.arpa name = dns1.dragonet.es. Authoritative answers can be found from: 240.70.217.in-addr.arpa nameserver = dns1.dragonet.es. 240.70.217.in-addr.arpa nameserver = dns2.dragonet.es. dns1.dragonet.es internet address = 217.70.240.135 dns2.dragonet.es internet address = 217.70.240.136 But I have to restart named for the forwarders to kick in. I've tried enabling forward first; but no difference. Is it possible to have the forwarders consulted without having to restart?

[opensuse] SPITBOL linux
by Gregory L. White 04 Jul '12

04 Jul '12

Hello All, This is my first posting to the list. I would like to announce. That a port of R.B.K Dewar's, Macro Spitbol, is now available for linux. It is released and maintained by Dave Shields. Below is a copy of his original announcement to the Spitbol mail list. And a link to the download site. I have compiled it onto both OpenSuse 64 & 32bit systems. And I made a small correction to the makefile to produce a makefile that works with all versions of 12.1 And I have a tgz of it if anybody would like. Does this list take attachments? If it does I could upload a nifty example database program that I wrote years ago. It does not use tables, arrays, or lists. It is extremely fast, very small (about one page) and is very difficult to produce in a structured language. Snobol4 language is both unstructured and structured. Friendly regards, Greg White White Cybernetics - Casterton Vic. Australia ............................ Hi, SPITBOL/Linux v3.8.1, the first implementation of SPITBOL for LInux, and the first release of Macro SPITBOL in over a decade, is now available. Mark Emmer maintained Macro SPITBOL for well over two decades, with great care and on his own time, and his own dime. I know all in the SNOBOL/SPITBOL community appreciate his contributions. Though he will continue with the project, I will be the maintainer going forward. The project is be hosted at http://github.com/daveshields/spitbol-linux. We will use wikis, issue trackers and such other tools as are provided by Github. There will be no mail lists. We will use twitter instead, username @spitbol. -- thanks, dave -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] SuSE 12.1: KMail 4.7.2 unusable
by Peter Maffter 04 Jul '12

04 Jul '12

I just transferred my emails from my old kmail to the kmail 4.7.2 in OpenSuSE 12.1 via import. Afterwards akonadi_agent_l is really going "mad". When I tried to resort the approx 65k of SuSE mailinglist stuff it went "mad" second time (I had to kill kmail and akonadi_agent_l). Sometimes nepomukservices, akonadi_nepomuk, akonadiserver also jump in and the (quadcore !) machine uses nearly 90% of CPU for that crap! What are these programs doing (I was not able to find a manpage for this on my downloaded 12.1)? Can I make them completely silent or switch them off? Currently thunderbird is much faster and usable and I am thinking of moving to thunderbird finally. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] leap second?
by Hans Witvliet 03 Jul '12

03 Jul '12

Just wondering... On other M.L. (debian, ubuntu, fedora, centos) i noticed quite some messages about frozen systems due to the leap-second lately. One of my cp-workers decided to replace my sles-xen machine with a debian-based proxmox-kvm-host. As a result, he had to reboot the system (frozen stiff) and all clients died along... >From what i understood, was it not only kernel and ntp-stuff, but it produced race conditions in mysql and java. Anyone encountered likewise conditions? Or were these conditions foreseen & tested in suse?

[opensuse] Help: Python GTK/Gobject problem with OpenSuSE 11.4
by Rodney Baker 02 Jul '12

02 Jul '12

Hi all. I'm have an ongoing problem with apps that use python-gtk under 11.4 / KDE 4.6.5 failing to run. The error message is as follows: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/bin/chirpw", line 25, in <module> import gtk File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py", line 40, in <module> from gtk import _gtk ImportError: could not import gobject (could not find _PyGObject_API object) Googling the last line has turned up several related threads in various mailing list archives (including oS factory) without any of them ever actually hinting at a solution. I can reproduce the problem at the command line using: python -c 'import gtk' Does anyone here have any clues on this?

[opensuse] Wifi broken after update: 12.1
by Odd Ball 02 Jul '12

02 Jul '12

Hi, I just installed 12.1 on a quadcore eeepc seashell series. While installing the option wpa(1,2)psk tkip was not present, so had to use a rope. When testing the network, both rope and wifi did not work. After login in the networkmanager did succeed in finding network, and accepting my passphrase, so it worked. I wifi-d the update: truckload of packages, after that wifi broken. Does not scan or see or find the network. The rope does work. *I forgot: what package did i have to update again to get it working again?* Oh and the security is tremendously overdone with network setting: twice rootpasword wallet, also twice, but still no connection. Maybe the attention got to the wrong stuff? As my network is already protected, why do i need root password, and kdewallet to get acces to these settings? I think it is very user-unfriendly this way... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] where should I put self-signed certificates for Apache 2 in OpenSuse 12.1
by Ted Byers 02 Jul '12

02 Jul '12

I tried Google, and found no consistency. I see directions, admittedly for older versions of Suse Linux, that claim enabling SLL on apache, using a2enmod ssl would create directories in certain places, and having executed the above command, the directories I was told to expect are not there. I found one set of instructions that were almost identical for Ubuntu 12.04 and Suse Linux and they both seemed to work. The httpd server restarted fine, but because these particular instructions said nothing about certificates, I did nothing to create new, self-signed certificates. Consequently, I got an error on both Suse and Ubuntu vis: SSL received a record that exceeded the maximum permissible length. (Error code: ssl_error_rx_record_too_long). A colleague pointed me to instructions he'd followed on Ubuntu, which did involve creating new self-signed certificates and configuring a virtual SSL host. Following those solved the problem on Ubuntu, but I can't use them on Suse as the programs don't appear to be available on Suse (such as apt-get). Since Apache 2 behaved in the same way on both systems, the problem was probably due to the certificates on both. That said, I figure that since I have openssl installed on my Suse VM, and I know how to use it from having created self-signed certificates for Apache2 on Windows, I ought to be able to use it to create them on Suse, but the problem remains were to put them so that Apache2 will find them, and what configuration file to edit to tell Apache2 where they are. While the same series of steps for enabling SSL on Ubuntu and Suse seemed to work the same, the result is a very different suite of directories between the two, and in very different places. Even the suite of configuration files is different. What gets confusing is that the different sets of instructions find by googling, even restricting the search to documents pertaining to Suse Linux, they differ WRT what directories ought to exist where. A perfect example. I do a lot of CGI programming. On Windows, in the root directory, I have an apache2 directory, and everything pertaining to Apache is in it, or a sub-directory thereof. Not so with any Linux I have looked at so far. On both Suse and Ubuntu, I find an apache2 directory in /etc/, but on Ubuntu, the cgi-bin is /usr/lib/cgi-bin while on Suse Linux, it is /srv/www/cgi-bin. On both VMs, I have found a bunch of 'certificate' directories all over the place, but which application installed and uses them I have no idea. I certainly do not want to be messing with them at least until I know why they exist and what uses them. I reasoned that a quick HOWTO document ought to address this, so I opened httpd.conf on the Suse box, and found the following: # Quickstart guide: # http://en.opensuse.org/Apache_Quickstart_HOWTO Alas, when I went to it, it was EMPTY! So much for being able to read useful documentation. The page actually directed me to search for the page and here is what I got from that: ==========Search results================================================================= tagline: From openSUSE Top of Form . Content pages . Multimedia . Help and Project pages . Everything . Advanced Bottom of Form There were no results matching the query. Create the page "All:Apache Quickstart HOWTO~" on this wiki! Retrieved from "http://en.opensuse.org/Special:Search/all:Apache_Quickstart_HOWTO%7E" ============================================================================ ============ BTW: I used yast to install all the servers I routinely work with, expecting it to put them in a relatively standard location (on the assumption the default locations would be reasonably secure), but finding stuff is proving to be a challenge. And I don't want to be putting stuff in the wrong places lest I compromise the security of the machines (i.e. I don't want to get used to having stuff in the wrong places lest, when I deploy my stuff to a production server, I compromise that machine). Might I suggest someone connected to opensuse.org start prodding people who know to put together some quickstart HOWTO documents for a suite of 'tasks', such as setting up a LAMP machine (perhaps with an extended version dealing with setting up SVN and Redmine on a LAMP server), improving the security of a system using snort and/or apparmour (but that I mean either individually or a combination of the two), setting up Wordpress on a LAMP machine, or osCommerce (or competing online commerce product), just to name a few I would be interested in reading (and if you want someone to test a procedure, I'd be happy to set up a virgin VM with a vanilla install of either Gnome or KDE, and apply the procedures described, and provide feedback to the authors of such documents. I'd start writing them up, if I had the knowledge, but I don't have that knowledge, yet. In the meantime, a little wisdom WRT where to put the self-signed certificates I can make using openssl and what configuration file in /etc.apache2 to edit in order to tell apache about them, would be greatly appreciated.
