[opensuse] IPv6 configuration in Yast Firewall
by James Knott 23 Jan '13

23 Jan '13

Any idea when IPv6 configuration will be supported in Yast Firewall? Since FWBuilder is no longer being supported, it would be nice if the Yast utility could be used for IPv6. In case you hadn't noticed, IPv6 use is growing and will eventually be the main IP protocol. I've been running it for almost 3 years. tnx jk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] How do I give myself (or any web programmer) read/write/execute access to /srv/www/fcgi-bin and related directories?
by Ted Byers 23 Jan '13

23 Jan '13

When I do my web programming on Windows, I can just create my CGI scripts in the server's cgi-bin directory itself. However, although the apache2 web server is configured for mod_perl, cgi and fastcgi (mod_fcgi), I can not create files in the directories these modules are configured to use. I assume that my usual user does not have the correct permissions to develop my code in mthese directories. So, I guess there are two related questions. 1) How do I give myself the permissions I need to create my mod_perl, CGI, and fastcgi scripts in the directories that the server is configured to use? 2) What is regarded as SOP for web developers working on Linux?

[opensuse] Virtualization in reverse
by Duaine Hechler 23 Jan '13

23 Jan '13

I come from a mainframe background where the virtualization platform was THE main OS. Why can't VB or VMWare be designed to be booted first - just like the mainframe - that way, there is only ONE main OS to code for (itself). Just a thought, Duaine -- Duaine Hechler Piano, Player Piano, Pump Organ - Tuning, Servicing & Rebuilding (314) 838-5587 / dahechler(a)att.net / www.hechlerpianoandorgan.com Home & Business user of Linux - 12 years -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Grub2 can't find a file ‘/boot/grub2/locate/en.MO.gz’ and command line seems broken on OpenSuse 12.2
by Katherine Moss 22 Jan '13

22 Jan '13

Hi all, I'm completely new to linux; I'm using OpenSuse as my entry into the Linux world, so forgive me if this is a stupid question, but it's really a showstopper for me. I have installed OpenSuse as a virtual machine in VMware Workstation, and since that environment doesn't offer much customization, I realized that I had to switch the desktop environment from KDE 4 to Gnome 3 using the terminal. There was the problem though; when entering the terminal with Alt+Control+ F2, I received the following message: GRUB loading. Welcome to GRUB error: file ‘/boot/grub2/locate/en.MO.gz’ not found. _ Everything has seemingly installed just fine, accept for this, so can anyone give me any pointers on the best way to fix my command line? And what is this file, and why is it missing in a default installation of OpenSuse that seemed to go well otherwise? To give you the maximum amount of information possible, the VM is running from a Dell Latitude E6530 computer with 8 Gigs of RAM, and a 2.90 GHZ processor with hyper threading support. My VM is set with a 60 GB hard disc with 1024 gigs of memory. If there is any more information needed, please let me know, and I'll be glad to provide it; this is driving me and my friend nuts since she is as clueless as I am. I have tried and tried searching on this issue, and nothing is coming up that we can understand. Most of the articles and topics posted are for people who have a good understanding of everything, which we are still learning. Insights and possible solutions would be much appreciated. Thank you! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] LibreOffice Writer doesn't display documents correctly
by Mark Misulich 22 Jan '13

22 Jan '13

Hi, For a few weeks now, LibreOffice Writer won't display documents correctly. This occurs with .doc files and with .odt files. I have been hoping that the program might correct itself with some update to come along from the programmers, but it hasn't been resolved. So I am writing to see if someone recognizes the problem and knows how to fix it. I am using openSUSE 12.2 with kde4 Platform Version 4.9.5 "release 3", and LibreOffice Version 3.6:build-304 (Build ID: 360m1(Build:304). To compare what is happening when I try to display an example of a doc file, please take a look at these images. Here is the .doc file displayed in LibreOffice. http://img405.imageshack.us/img405/9132/39487067.png Clicking on the page displayed in LO changes what is presented. Sometimes the missing text is displayed, other times everything disappears. Other times, some more text appears each time I click, until it decides to reverse course and text starts to disappear again. Scrolling past the page and then scrolling back will sometimes change what is presented as well. It is all very random. Here is how the document should be displayed, using Softmaker Textmaker program. http://img541.imageshack.us/img541/3258/90956889.png Thank you in advance for your input on how to resolve this question. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] cd-rom drive not detected
by e-letter 22 Jan '13

Readers, Have tried to search for help to get cd-rom recognised, no success so far. For example, the directory 'dev' shows all sorts of 'tty', 'sda' entries.
