[opensuse] pam winbind settings problem
by lynn 20 Aug '12

20 Aug '12

Hi everyone openSUSE seems to have no way to set pam winbind settings unless you join an existing domain as a client. What if, as in Samba4, we are already the DC? We seem to have no way of setting up pam winbind without specifically joining a domain. Ubuntu has a module where you can set pam winbind whether or not you join a domain. The official Samba doco cites this for pam winbind: /etc/pam.d/common-auth Add this line before pam_unix.so: auth sufficient pam_winbind.so Also add the option use_first_pass to the pam_unix.so line /etc/pam.d/common-account Add this line before pam_unix.so: account sufficient pam_winbind.so /etc/pam.d/common-session Add these lines before any other session line: session required pam_mkhomedir.so session required pam_winbind.so However, this does not work with 12.1 nor 12.2 RC2 since then, Kerberos authentication does not work. Could anyone post their /etc/pam.d config for a working Samba4 DC with Kerberos and winbind? Better still, could we have a pam setup (yast maybe?) which does the same job as Ubuntu's pam-auth-config?

[opensuse] Mounting Western Digital Media Book
by Phil 20 Aug '12

20 Aug '12

Hi All, I've had a problem on my opensuse 12.1 box for a while that is finally really starting to bug me. My USB Backup drive is a western digital my media drive plugged in via USB. The problem really comes to be a pain because I use that drive to backup my webserver nightly, as well as some network documents. I would like the drive to be mounted at /media/ExtDrive1 Sometimes it shows up a /media/ExtDrive1_ (note the underscore). Sometimes when I log in via SSH and browse the directory, I can't see any files (even though they are CHMOD 755). But when I look at the mount via Dolphin, I can see all the directories in the root of the drive. At some point, I had the drive in my fstab, but had to disable that when I upgraded from 11.4 to 12.1 because it would fail to boot. Digging around, I still notice that in YaST, if I enter into Partitioner, I must have configured it through there. It shows up as available storage as /dev/sbd1 Ext3 Label: ExtDrive1 mount: /media/ExtDrive1_ (again, underscore). Digging into the edit screens, I see I have the option checked to mount as /media/ExtDrive1_ (underscore) Under Fstab Options under "mount in /etc/fstab by" I chose "Device ID" Volume label ExtDrive1. None of the other items are checked below. Data Journaling Mode is ordered, and ACL is enabled. Arbitrary Option Value is nofail. So - my main concern, how can I set this drive so that every time I use this computer, the drive is mounted the same? Having it swap between ExtDrive1_ and ExtDrive1 is a nightmare on my VPS backup script, and local CRON and shell scripts.

[opensuse] 12.1 Install DVD fails to boot on a Dell Latitude
by Myrosia Dzikovska 20 Aug '12

20 Aug '12

I am trying to upgrade from 11.3 to 12.1 on a machine with very limited network access, so I cannot use any of the network installation options. I downloaded and burned 12.1 Install DVD, and verified that the iso checksum and the media are correct. When I try to run the installation, I see the boot screen, choose "installation", it starts loading the kernel. The load process goes to 100%, then the screen briefly turns black, some message is printed out, but I cannot catch it, because the laptop immediately reboots itself. I tried "safe mode" and "text mode", but that does not help, either. The live ISO boots just fine; but it does not have an upgrade option. Is there a way to figure out the difference between the live ISO and the Install DVD, so that I can hopefully figure out how to boot? Thanks, Myrosia P.S. My alternative is, of course, to just install from scratch using the live ISO. But it would be nice to be able to do it without losing the package configuration, which would be a pain to restore. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] disable upper key
by Dsant 18 Aug '12

18 Aug '12

Sorry for my English, I'm not sure about the word : Do you know how to disable the "always upper" key on the keyboard, betwen shift and Tabulation ? I use the "shift" key instead. And it's annoying when the keyboard gets upper, so my question. Dsant -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Fwd: [opensuse-factory] ssh command problem
by lynn 18 Aug '12

18 Aug '12

Sorry folks. I sould have said that the client is a 12.2 RC2 box and the remote ssh box is 12.1. There is a rsa key at each end of the connection so it ssh's without password. Maybe I sent it to the wrong list. thanks, L x -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [opensuse-factory] ssh command problem Date: Fri, 17 Aug 2012 17:47:36 +0200 From: lynn <lynn(a)steve-ss.com> To: opensuse-factory <opensuse-factory(a)opensuse.org> Hi I have a script which has a ssh call in it: echo Calling the file server ssh root@hh32 "mkdir /home2/$2/$1 ; chown $uid:20513 /home2/$2/$1 ; exit" echo Back on DC <rest of script> The ssh call works, but it never returns to the calling script to finish the rest of the commands..

[opensuse] 2 domains on Apache
by Jim Flanagan 18 Aug '12

18 Aug '12

I'm sure this has been asked a thousand times, but how do I set up Apache to serve up 2 different pages for 2 different domains? Also I'm on a dynamic IP and have dyndns.org running fine for one domain. I suppose they can handle a second one to this domain, as long as I switch that domain over to them? Thanks for any pointers.

[opensuse] [solved] Add driver to initrd for pxe-boot
by markus.weich＠jhg-traunreut.de 17 Aug '12

17 Aug '12

I was on the wrong track... putting broadcom into the kernel (not into initrd) finally did the trick! In detail: when the pxe client stopped in linuxrc because of the network error, I fetched /proc/config.gz. This file contains the configuration for the pxe kernel. After that, I installed OpenSUSE12.1 from DVD on the computer, and compiled a kernel with make bzImage and the configuration from the client. With this kernel image and the old initrd, the client was now able to do the autoinstallation! Thanks, Markus ________________________________________ Von: Weich, Markus Gesendet: Freitag, 17. August 2012 13:32 An: Philipp Thomas Betreff: AW: [opensuse] Add driver to initrd for pxe-boot I tried mkinitrd before. It doesn't work with pxe because the installation routines are in pxe initrd. The tutorials I found on the internet all unpacked, modified and repacked initrd. But the format of openSUSE 12.1 pxe initrd seems special: etc/depmod.d and modprobe.d aren't covered in the tutorials I found. Nevertheless I messed around with them, too. No success. I also tried bootparam keeppxe, didn't work neither. What i'll try next: -compile the kernel with the /proc/config.gz from the pxe environment - or put all the needed modules into /modules/..., not just only broadcom and do the depmod thing again... Any other suggestions are welcome! Thanks, Markus ________________________________________ Von: Philipp Thomas [Philipp.Thomas2(a)gmx.net] Gesendet: Freitag, 17.

See 'man 8 mkinitrd' for the options mkinitrd supports.

[opensuse] autoyast tool : xml file not found
by Dsant 17 Aug '12

I wrote a autoyast.xml file, but autoyast does not start at all. I tried a lot of kernel options in grub : kernel (...) autoyast=autoyast.xml kernel (...) autoyast=file:///autoyast.xml or copying as file "autoinst.xml" and autoyast=default No luck :( Could you tell me the right kernel option ?

[opensuse] Lost desktop in opensuse-12.1?
by Josef Wolf 17 Aug '12

17 Aug '12

Hello, I am running opensuse-12.1 with KDE. I accidentally pressed the left window key and (I think) the ALT key, and now I am left with an empty desktop with an empty panel/taskbar. I can see with "ps ax" that all my applications are still running, but I can't get to them. What happened? How can I get back my desktop? Any hints? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
