[opensuse] VirtualBox guest question
by Thomas Taylor 24 Mar '13

24 Mar '13

Is it possible to use an backup image file as a VirtualBox guest? I currently have a PC which triple boots Win-7-Ult & openSuSE 12.2/12.3. I would like to move the windows installation to a VB guest without having to uninstall and install fresh into the guest in order to meet the %^&* MS licensing policy.

[opensuse] 12.3 and acpi vs. lm_sensors, cpufreq, fancontrol (nvidia graphics) and power-off
by Carl Hartung 23 Mar '13

23 Mar '13

Hi All, Unlike the prior quiet running 11.4 (x86_64/GNOME2) installation I had on this system, 12.3 (x86_64/KDE) is exhibiting the following: a) At installation via DVD, the system hung almost immediately at udev. Typing 'acpi=off' before selecting 'Installation' circumvented the hang. b) 12.3 is beautiful, and fast! Thanks everyone! I love it :-) But I seem to have lost correct sensor driven GPU fan control. It now has only two speeds ... loud and loudest o_O. It starts out in 'loudest' mode then eventually drops to 'loud'. Very annoying. c) Selecting 'Leave' then 'Shut down' works right up to the point where nothing is mounted, no processes are running and the system is not in any way responsive ... but it does not power-off. Pressing and holding the power button briefly turns it off. (Interestingly, 'Leave' and 'Restart' works.) The system is an ASUS laptop, model X83VB-X1, with nVidia GeForce 9300M GS graphics adapter (512 MB video RAM.) The mainboard is an 'N80VB (ver. 1)'. It's configured with 4 GB RAM and an internal 500 GB SATA HD. These symptoms strike me as related to ACPI (and to the 'acpi=off' invocation at install.) After a bit of research, I followed the steps described here: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=810344 (03/19/2013, 12.3, status "NEW"; "Summary: fancontol not starting") No joy. Just these afterward from '# systemctl list-units' (results wrapped by me): lm_sensors.service loaded active exited Initialize hardware monitoring sensors cpufreq.service loaded failed failed LSB: CPUFreq modules loader fancontrol_local.service loaded failed failed Initialize fancontrol There's also this: # fancontrol --help Loading configuration from /etc/fancontrol ... Error: Can't read configuration file [Related, but tangential: Under 11.4 GNOME2, I ran a taskbar applet which graphically displayed the activity of each core, side by side, in addition to the CPU operating frequency. It usually ran at 800 MHz and only peaked 'on demand' nicely at 2.0 GHz -- and I could tell this by the sound of the fans. Is there a KDE equivalent to that applet available? I like being able to tell at a glance when the system is peaking 'on demand.'] These are the _only_ wrinkles remaining to be ironed out on this otherwise beautiful installation. I'd like to avoid burning out the GPU and/or it's fan while undergoing my combined 12.3 / KDE / systemd learning curve. Ideas and suggestions will be gratefully appreciated.

[opensuse] openSUSE on ASUS Tranformer?
by Vojtěch Zeisek 23 Mar '13

23 Mar '13

Hi all, as openSUSE 12.2 for ARM is now out, see http://news.opensuse.org/2012/11/06/opensuse-12-2-for-arm-final/ I wonder if there is some (easy) possibility to install it to my ASUS Transformer TF300T. I'd like to keep Android and use it as dual boot. Have a nice day! Vojta -- Vojtěch Zeisek Komunita openSUSE GNU/Linuxu Community of the openSUSE GNU/Linux http://www.opensuse.org/ http://trapa.cz/

[opensuse] Broken pipe error in lsb_release

[opensuse] mRemote users beware: Windows malware wipes linux boxes via mRemote
by Greg Freemyer 22 Mar '13

22 Mar '13

All, This is a first for me. Per: http://blogs.csoonline.com/malwarecybercrime/2628/symantecs-research-south-… There is a piece of windows malware that looks for mRemote installs on windows. If found it looks for cached "root" credentials. If those are found it uploads a script to wipeout /kernel, /usr, /etc, and /home. I gather the key vulnerability is that mRemote stores the destination host and credentials in plaintext. (or a easily decoded format). If anyone has mRemote installed on a windows box, I'm curious how the password is stored. The config info is at: %UserProfile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Felix_Deimel\mRemote\confCons.xml fyi: the target of this attack was South Korea, but once malware code like this is made public, it starts to show up in other malware.

Re: [opensuse] Root and boot partitions on a sw raid volume (opensuse 12.2 - 12.3 rc1 64bit)
by Christopher Myers 22 Mar '13

22 Mar '13

Ah cool, that makes sense. I was curious if it made a difference since oS sees the original disks as "/dev/sda" and "/dev/sdb", but the partitions from the aggregate device from the fake raid are shown as /dev/mapper/[something] (Sorry if you got this twice, I forgot to make the email plain text the first time, so had to resend it cause it got rejected the first time.) Chris >>> 03/21/13 11:06 PM >>> The primary differences between fake raid and pure software MD are - fake raid is partitioned, software raid usually not - fake raid is seen as single device by BIOS, software raid - as multiple devices So they need different solutions. Fake raid is actually easier to handle. Pure software raid needs more work.

[opensuse] vlan frames redirected to the wrong bridge
by mailing lists 22 Mar '13

22 Mar '13

Hello list, I have a network configuration like this: HVM domU [eth0:10.180.245.100] -> [tap2.0] br1 [eth0.214] -> dom0 [eth0:192.168.0.39] dom0 is a xen host with a typical bridge (br0), but now I need to add several domU machines with vlan tagging whilst dom0 remains untagged. So a new bridge (br1) is used to add vlan tags to this domU, the resulting bridge configuration is: dom0:~ # brctl show bridge name bridge id STP enabled interfaces br0 8000.0026b9fc5688 no eth0 br1 8000.0026b9fc5688 no eth0.214 tap2.0 the problem is that for traffic sent from any domU, the ARP-REPLY is returned to the wrong bridge. A simple test with ping to 10.180.245.97 show the wrong path for replies: dom0 frame seen in tap2.0: 12:36:08.490622 00:16:3e:32:16:d6 > ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff, ethertype ARP (0x0806), length 42: Ethernet (len 6), IPv4 (len 4), Request who-has 10.180.245.97 tell 10.180.245.100, length 28 dom0 frame seen in br1: 12:36:51.498916 00:16:3e:32:16:d6 > ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff, ethertype ARP (0x0806), length 42: Ethernet (len 6), IPv4 (len 4), Request who-has 10.180.245.97 tell 10.180.245.100, length 28 dom0 frame seen in eth0.214 12:37:23.504996 00:16:3e:32:16:d6 > ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff, ethertype ARP (0x0806), length 42: Ethernet (len 6), IPv4 (len 4), Request who-has 10.180.245.97 tell 10.180.245.100, length 28 dom0 frame seen in eth0, now with vlan tagging and the corresponding reply 12:38:03.512530 00:16:3e:32:16:d6 > ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff, ethertype 802.1Q (0x8100), length 46: vlan 214, p 0, ethertype ARP, Ethernet (len 6), IPv4 (len 4), Request who-has 10.180.245.97 tell 10.180.245.100, length 28 12:38:03.513126 00:0b:fc:fe:1b:02 > 00:16:3e:32:16:d6, ethertype 802.1Q (0x8100), length 64: vlan 214, p 0, ethertype ARP, Ethernet (len 6), IPv4 (len 4), Reply 10.180.245.97 is-at 00:0b:fc:fe:1b:02, length 46 dom0 frame appears in br0 and not in br1 12:39:52.533341 00:0b:fc:fe:1b:02 > 00:16:3e:32:16:d6, ethertype 802.1Q (0x8100), length 64: vlan 214, p 0, ethertype ARP, Ethernet (len 6), IPv4 (len 4), Reply 10.180.245.97 is-at 00:0b:fc:fe:1b:02, length 46 anyone knows how to get replies to br1 instead of br0? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
