[opensuse] Change password screen 12.3
by James Knott 19 Mar '13

19 Mar '13

After a period of inactivity, the screen changes to an ugly picture, with a password prompt box in the middle. Is it possible to go back to the plain black screen that I had in 12.2? I don't care about the password prompt, but I don't need it either, as I don't use a password for my home desktop. I checked in Configure Desktop, but didn't find anything that fixes this. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Android mtp on 12.3
by lynn 19 Mar '13

19 Mar '13

Hi 12.2 to 12.3 upgrade. KDE. Hi everyone I could never connect to my tablet in 12.2. It needed a udev rule or something. In 12.3, upgraded from 12.2 it just works. No udev rule nor nothing. But it's a bit hit and miss. Sometimes I can edit a file I created e.g. in /mnt/local/Downloads on the tablet, and sometimes I can't. If I drag the file to the desktop, edit it and then drag it back to the tablet, then it's OK. If I try to edit it by just clicking it from the Dolphin window, it first seems to copy the file to /var/tmp before opening it. That's the bit which seems to take the time and produce a permission error. 1. Do I need a udev rule? 2. Must I copy files from the tablet first to be able to edit them? 3. Do I have any control over which folders I can see from the tablet? (I don't have the tablet rooted, maybe I should?) Thanks L, x -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Postfix transport problem
by Andre Truter 19 Mar '13

19 Mar '13

We have a local mail server set up that fetches mail from the external mail server and deliver it to local mail boxes where the office staff read it with KMail. Mail is also sent via the local mail server. so internal mail is just delivered directly and do not need to go through the external relay server. But, there is one email address that is used only externally, so it has no local mailbox. So postfix should deliver mail to it directly to the external mail server where the mailbox is. So I added an entry to /etc/postfix/transport for it like this: external.mail(a)example.com smtp:[external.mail.server] When I send mail from the mailserver itself to this address, it works as expeted; it relays the mail directly to the external server. But any email sent to this address from another box in the office, does not work.. Postfix still try to deliver it locally. Any idea why it would disregard the transport map for mail that does not originate locally?

[opensuse] local NTP server?
by Felix Miata 19 Mar '13

19 Mar '13

Is there something on http://doc.opensuse.org/documentation/html/openSUSE/opensuse-reference/cha.… that explains how I can configure a system to be an NTP server for other systems on a LAN? If it's there, I'm not recognizing it, and it's not obvious to me looking at time config in YaST2 or elsewhere in YaST2, or in /etc/ntp.conf. Also, what exactly does running as daemon in context of NTP mean or imply? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

[opensuse] 12.3 crashes
by James Knott 19 Mar '13

19 Mar '13

In the 4 hours that I have had 12.3 installed on this system, it has crashed twice, requiring a power down & up to recover. Both times I was doing something with a browser. The first time it was Firefox, then Seamonkey. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Something chnasged my keymap
by Anton Aylward 19 Mar '13

19 Mar '13

I know what lives in /usr/share/kbd/keymaps and I know how to change my keymaps, but that do the mean/ OK, ignore the non English ones. But something changed. The left hand ctl key stopped working in 12.2 and doesn't work in 12.3. I wasn't given choices about this when doing the install. I did't even cunt the number of keys on this keyboard :-( If I'm in GUI mode, the left alt+Fn key doesn't hotkey to another vt, only the tight alt+Fn key doens that/. But if I'm in a Vt, only the left Alt+Fn takes me to another vt or back to the GUI, the right Alt+Fn does nothing. It didn't used to be like that with 11.4 on this hardware; when I insert my fedora drive or my magia drive to this hardware it doesn't behave like that either. "Obviously" im missing something but my knowledge and understanding of the mystique under /usr/share/kbd is primitive and exists somewhere between non-existent and following magic incantations. I'd like to restore function but don't know the magic. And yes I've been wading though google ... yet remain unenlightened. -- Plurality is never to be posited without need. --Occam -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] grub2 loopback with 12.3 isos
by Jim Henderson 18 Mar '13

18 Mar '13

Wondering if anyone has played with this at all. I just picked up a couple 32 GB USB flash drives, and am looking to put the 12.3 ISOs on one of the drives configured with grub2 to boot the ISO images directly. I'm not that particular about which bootloader I use, so if there's a way to hand this off to memdisk or some other boot loader, I'm all ears. :) I know if I want to put the install DVD ISOs on the drive as distributed, the drive needs to be ext2 rather than vfat. Many distributions seem to support passing the kernel a "fromiso" or "isofile" parameter so that when the system switches from real mode to the kernel, it can pick up with the ISO file (presumably mounting it via a loop mount). I can't find anything that indicates whether this parameter is enabled in openSUSE or not. I did try a few things out, and was able to (for example) get the initrd to load up, but once that happened, the ISO got yanked out from under the installer, and I ended up in the "simple" installer (ncurses interface where you have to set everything up by hand). I'm in the process of copying the contents of the ISOs to directories on the drive, and going to look to see if grub2 can chainload the isolinux configurations, but if I could come up with a recipe to do this just by copying the ISOs over, that'd be preferable (that way if I wanted to burn an ISO for someone, I have the file right there). Thanks!
