[opensuse] Brandnew 13.1 - xsane and scanlite both segfault.
by Per Jessen 21 Nov '13

21 Nov '13

It looks like this is a bug in the driver. I found a kde bug expressing that opinion, which seems reasonable when both applications segfault. Unless someone knows of a work-around, this desktop box will have to go back to 12.3. /Per -- Per Jessen, Zürich (5.4°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] os13.1 Gnome Shell using xdg-su & xterm rather than GNOME's su
by Adam Tauno Williams 20 Nov '13

20 Nov '13

On one workstation, after updateing to 13.1, running Yast or another utility that requires Administrator access the privilege escalation occurs by running xdg-su and an xterm window rather than GNOME's su equivalent. I assume this must be adjustable, or some type of fallback, but I have never encountered this issue before. libgnomesu is installed -- Adam Tauno Williams <mailto:awilliam@whitemice.org> GPG D95ED383 Systems Administrator, Python Developer, LPI / NCLA -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] os 13.1 Nautilus Open-In-Remote-Terminal
by Adam Tauno Williams 20 Nov '13

20 Nov '13

Nautilus open-in-remote terminal hangs for me, on multiple workstations. I see it in ps running "ssh user(a)example.com cd '/tmp' && exec $SHELL -" but the terminal is just a hanging blank. I can close the terminal window. This extremely useful feature worked reliably under 12.3 GS38. -- Adam Tauno Williams <mailto:awilliam@whitemice.org> GPG D95ED383 Systems Administrator, Python Developer, LPI / NCLA -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Secure way how to manage OpenSUSE repositories on client
by Vlastimil Holer 20 Nov '13

20 Nov '13

Hello, since I'm new to SUSE, I have a very dumb querstion regarding custom repositories from http://download.opensuse.org/ . Our infrastructure is based on Debians and Red Hats and completely managed and automated by Puppet. We got few machines running SLES 11 SP3 and I need to get some software from download.opensuse.org there (like OpenAFS etc.) and need to **automate** process of adding these custom repos and installing software in easy an secure manner. It's impossible to think about it in a way, that user comes and blindly accepts few keys for new repositories. Or that we completely ignore or autoimport untrusted signing keys. I have reached following problems: 1) each repo uses custom signing key 2) keys + repositories are over http 3) don't know how to check if downloaded signing key is valid ad 1) I can make a Puppet module which can have all current signing keys downloaded from download.opensuse.org. This module can manage adding GPG keys (via rpm --import) and than creating repository on client side. I can reagularly refresh signing keys in this module. But 2) or 3). ad 2) Is it possible to download all things at least via https? ad 3) Is it possible to automatically check the signing key is valid (at least for non-user repositories) ? Thank you for any tip. I think the public build service and these repositories are great source of (additional) software, but thinking about how to automate these things in SUSE makes me sad so far.

[opensuse] Is there a tape duplicator in the distro?
by Greg Freemyer 20 Nov '13

20 Nov '13

All, simply calling dd to duplicate tapes typically fails at a minimum because tapes often have multiple EOFs interspersed with the data and dd terminates when it hits EOF (as far as I know). I found tcopy on sourceforge http://tcopy.sourceforge.net/ Unfortunately I don't see it in OBS and it hasn't been updated in over 10 years (which might be okay if perfection was achieved way back then.) I just looked at the source and it seems to handle multiple "records" and "files" on a single tape, so it may just work as is.
