[opensuse] static network bridge does not work on 13.1
by Natasha Ament 21 Nov '13

21 Nov '13

Hi, I have a fresh install of 13.1 with the XEN hypervisor and it has all the updates. No custom repositories. Because of a bug[1] in yast-lan i have to set things manually. My question relates to setting ifcfg-br0 in such a way that i have a static IP. That gives some trouble so i hope someone here can help me since google and the ifcfg-template don't give me any clues as to why things are not working. This is the standard ifcfg-br0: vitruvius:/etc/sysconfig/network # cat ifcfg-br0 BOOTPROTO='dhcp' BRIDGE='yes' BRIDGE_FORWARDDELAY='0' BRIDGE_PORTS='enp1s10' BRIDGE_STP='off' BROADCAST='' ETHTOOL_OPTIONS='' IPADDR='' MTU='' NETMASK='' NETWORK='' REMOTE_IPADDR='' STARTMODE='auto' USERCONTROL='no' I alter the file to the following: vitruvius:/etc/sysconfig/network # cat ifcfg-br0 BOOTPROTO='static' BRIDGE='yes' BRIDGE_FORWARDDELAY='0' BRIDGE_PORTS='enp1s10' BRIDGE_STP='off' BROADCAST='' ETHTOOL_OPTIONS='' IPADDR='192.168.178.200' MTU='' NETMASK='255.255.255.0' NETWORK='192.168.178.0' GATEWAY='192.168.178.1' DNS1='212.54.40.25' DNS2='212.54.35.25' REMOTE_IPADDR='' STARTMODE='auto' USERCONTROL='no' My (unchanged) ifcfg-enp1s10 file reads: vitruvius:/etc/sysconfig/network # cat ifcfg-enp1s10 BOOTPROTO='static' BROADCAST='' ETHTOOL_OPTIONS='' IPADDR='0.0.0.0/32' MTU='' NAME='RTL-8169 Gigabit Ethernet' NETMASK='' NETWORK='' PREFIXLEN='' REMOTE_IPADDR='' STARTMODE='auto' USERCONTROL='no' When i use the edited ifcfg-br0, i can ping to my router, but i can't get beyond that. So I'm doing something wrong for sure, but what, where. Can someone please shed some light on this matter? many thanks in advance. kind regards, Natasha [1]: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=846813 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Intel and Broadcom Help!
by Paul Groves 21 Nov '13

21 Nov '13

Hi all, I have been having a lot of trouble getting opensuse to work with different laptops. The issues I am experiencing also happen with ubuntu so it seems to me to be a kernel issue perhaps? Every single laptop I have tried that has either of the two following devices has the following issues: Intel 4000 series graphics - cannot change brightness, always maxed out at 100%!!! (I am unsure if this is the graphics chip or the acpi drivers but would not know how to find out) Broadcom wifi - does not show in network manager or network settings therefore unusable (does show under device info) I have attempted to install drivers from the repositories and from the manufacturers but I am just following the same forum threads round and round in circles with no obvious solution. I am starting to think that intel graphics and Broadcom NICs are not compatible with linux at all! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] L2TP on 13.1
by Kev James 21 Nov '13

21 Nov '13

Hi all, Has anyone got L2TP vpn working on 13.1? I installed 13.1 with KDE (since there doesn't seem to be any NetworkManager L2TP support in Gnome) in a VM, installed plasma-nm-l2tp and xl2tpd, then configured a L2TP (with IPSec) VPN connection. I hit connect in Network Manager, and nothing happens. Looking at /var/log/NetworkManager I see: <warn> connection /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/Settings/1 failed to activate: (2) The VPN service 'org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.l2tp' was not installed. Apologies if this is the wrong place for this question - I've never needed to ask for OpenSuSE-related help before, but my company has recently moved to a L2TP-based VPN and everyone else has a Mac or Windows..

[opensuse] apache 2.4 - SSLCipherSuite
by Per Jessen 21 Nov '13

21 Nov '13

Just in case someone happens to have played with this already - does a virtual host SSLCipherSuite configuration override or amend the global server SSLCipherSuite configuration ? For instance, I would like to have a global server setting which includes RC4 ciphers, and I would like the virtual host configuration to allow disabling RC4. I thought: SSLCipherSuite -RC4 in the vhosts section would be sufficient, but that caused a syntax error. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (0.0°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] Nvidia driver problem
by Benjamin 21 Nov '13

21 Nov '13

Hallo People! I have installed my new laptop with Opensuse 13.1 x86_64 and i saw in the hardware specs, that my Nvidia Geforce Gm 750 grafic card was not found. Beside i couldn´t play videos of different formats. So i thought, that there is something wrong with my grafic driver. I downloaded the right driver for my system from the nvidia driver suppurt and tried to install the driver in text-konsole-mode. In the end there came out an error. I´m now able to start my laptop about every second time. And when i startup there occurs a video failure (lines and stuff like that int the starting screen of opensuse ..). IS it possible to reinstall the old drivers or maybe to fix the problems with the native nvidia driver? – Of course without doing a full reinstall of OS... Help is need – Thx a lot in advance! Good night – Benjamin D. How can i post in the correct way the Log-File from /var/log/nvidia-installer.log? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

Hello everybody in this 13.1 time. Does somebody have a solution for the startup of the loopdevice ? Doing the start always by handtyping "modprobe loop" is no longer acceptable. What is the best method to set it in the systemstartup ? 13.1 What a fun, Hans -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
