[opensuse] mkinitrd clutter ?
by Per Jessen 07 Nov '13

My initrd seems to contain a lot of stuff I don't _think_ I have any use for: Kernel Modules: thermal_sys thermal processor fan cciss ata_piix ata_generic scsi_dh scsi_dh_rdac scsi_dh_alua scsi_dh_emc scsi_dh_hp_sw usb-common usbcore ohci-hcd uhci-hcd ehci-hcd xhci-hcd usbhid hid-logitech-dj hid-generic hid-holtek-kbd hid-lenovo-tpkbd hid-ortek hid-roccat hid-roccat-common hid-roccat-arvo hid-roccat-isku hid-samsung ehci-pci ohci-pci I guess this is all to support e.g. a USB keyboard and such, which is fine although I don't use one: usb-common usbcore ohci-hcd uhci-hcd ehci-hcd xhci-hcd usbhid hid-logitech-dj hid-generic hid-holtek-kbd hid-lenovo-tpkbd hid-ortek hid-roccat hid-roccat-common hid-roccat-arvo hid-roccat-isku hid-samsung ehci-pci ohci-pci Still, what's with "hid-logitech-dj hid-holtek-kbd hid-lenovo-tpkbd hid-ortek hid-roccat hid-roccat-common hid-roccat-arvo hid-roccat-isku hid-samsung" ? These appear to be modules specific to certains makes of USB equipment? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (12.6°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - dedicated server rental in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] problem connecting with vsftp (12.3)
by jdd 06 Nov '13

06 Nov '13

Hello, I have unexpected problem connecting to my 12.3 server using ftp. I nearly never use ftp to connect to this server, but wordpress install needs it. I have vsftp running and need to login using root account (I know...) the problem may (or not) come from the fact the server is a virtual machine ports 20 & 21 are forwarded by the host to the same on the guest (host and guest same 12.3) root was removed from /etc/ftpusers and the vsftpd service restarted when I ftp root(a)server.tld, I *can* log, issue a pwd command (->/root) or a cd command, but ls immediately close the connection. same, ftp root@... with dolphin opens the connection but give a "can't read" message. my old config file (11.4, working) write_enable=YES dirmessage_enable=YES nopriv_user=ftpsecure ftpd_banner=Bienvenue sur le ftp de Dodin.info ls_recurse_enable=YES local_enable=YES local_umask=022 anonymous_enable=YES anon_world_readable_only=YES anon_umask=022 syslog_enable=YES connect_from_port_20=YES pam_service_name=vsftpd listen_ipv6=YES ssl_enable=NO pasv_min_port=30000 pasv_max_port=30100 the new 12.3 config file: write_enable=YES dirmessage_enable=YES nopriv_user=ftpsecure ftpd_banner=Bienvenue sur le ftp de Nemo. local_enable=YES chroot_local_user=YES anonymous_enable=NO anon_world_readable_only=YES syslog_enable=NO connect_from_port_20=YES pam_service_name=vsftpd listen=YES ssl_enable=NO pasv_min_port=30000 pasv_max_port=30100 anon_mkdir_write_enable=NO anon_root=/srv/ftp anon_upload_enable=NO chroot_local_user=NO ftpd_banner=Bienvenue sur le ftp de Nemo idle_session_timeout=900 log_ftp_protocol=NO max_clients=10 max_per_ip=3 pasv_enable=YES ssl_sslv2=NO ssl_sslv3=NO ssl_tlsv1=NO (last line was YES, but YES or NO do not change my problem) If I simply copy the 11.4 file to the new server, the vsftp start hangs.. any idea? thanks jdd -- http://www.dodin.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Keyboard and sleep 12.3
by Paul Groves 05 Nov '13

05 Nov '13

Hi all, Whenever I suspend my desktop computer (sleep) and wake it my keyboard becomes very unresponsive (takes a second for the keys to respond). I have to either disconnect my keyboard from the usb and plug in back in again or reboot my computer for it to go back to normal. Any ideas?

[opensuse] Syncing akonadi and android tablet via server?
by Stefan Gofferje 05 Nov '13

05 Nov '13

Hi, after I caught Google basically red-handed stealing the data from my Android address-book (see http://stefan.gofferje.net/news-blogs/it/172-why-one-shouldn-t-use-google-s…) I simply assume that they do similar stuff e.g. with the calendar and notes. Thus, I would like to find another solution but I'm not really deep in the PIM topic. Question: What would be the simplest Linux server-side software solution that would allow at minimum syncing of contacts, calendar and notes with an Android tablet and with akonadi. If it supports more devices/protocols, it would even be better. -Stefan -- (o_ Stefan Gofferje | SCLT, MCP, CCSA //\ Reg'd Linux User #247167 | VCP #2263 V_/_ Heckler & Koch - the original point and click interface

[opensuse] False double clicks
by Jeffrey L. Taylor 05 Nov '13

05 Nov '13

Both my laptop, Lenovo T520, with OpenSuSE 12.2 and my wife's laptop, Dell XPS M1330N, with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS have problems with multiple clicks. A single click may do a double click action. I double click a desktop icon and two to four instances of the application start. A year or two ago, neither of these laptops had this problem. It is particularly bad in VirtualBox running Windows 7 and Quicken. Is anyone else seeing this? Have you found a solution?

[opensuse] restarting X server on vt7 in openSUSE 12.2 with systemd
by Istvan Gabor 05 Nov '13

05 Nov '13

Hello: Frequently my openSUSE 12.2 starts the graphical screen on vt7 (instead of vt8). In a previous messages, Patrick Shanahan wrote: From: Patrick Shanahan <paka@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 11 Sep 2013 16:07:43 -0400 Message-id: <20130911200743.GR10833(a)wahoo.no-ip.org> a quick return from vt8 to vt7 is: systemctrl restart xdm.service or rcxdm restart see: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2013-09/msg00230.html Unfortunately the above does not work for me. (Yes, I corrected the typo, and wrote "systemctl restart xdm.service".) Desktop0 stays on vt8. vt7 is blank, with a blinking underscore at top left corner. I have 2 questions: 1. How can I switch to vt7 using command line in vt1-6? 2. How can I have my system to start the graphical window always on vt7 at boot? (As it was in all previous openSUSE versions).

[opensuse] parallel on top of top?
by Istvan Gabor 04 Nov '13

04 Nov '13

Hello: Recently I see a process called parallel at the very top of top command results window. It uses more CPU than Xorg, my web browser, and everything else. PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 1603 lp 20 0 40348 1656 1188 S 2.3 0.0 2:07.53 parallel What is parallel? The user who runs it is lp. Is it the parallel port? But why is it using the most CPU, when I haven't used anything using lp port? This is on openSUSE 12.2.

First request is to please don't top post as someone points it out of etiquette and you know that, I believe. Second thing which I want to make you clear is that I read mails here and from those mails, I learn -- ok not all but at least more than zero. So you should not say like that. Thirdly, when the topic was on the mailing lists, I preferred the response there itself unless explicitly at one reason exists. Fourth, every user who uses free, can know and learn and asks the things. Fifth, I know openSUSE is a good distro and that's why wanted to know its usage. -- Linux 3.7.10-1.16-desktop || openSUSE 12.3 (Dartmouth) (i586) KDE 4.10.5 "release 1" || Intel(R) Pentium(R) CPU E5200 @ 2.50GHz https://forums.opensuse.org/members/happy21.html irc: linuxearth, happy21 Bharat || India ||A seed hidden in the heart of an apple is an orchard invisible.
