Is there any way to get back notification panel as it was in 12.2? In
12.3 it shifts the whole screen up when opened. And it is SL-O-O-O-W.
This effectively makes it unusable to me.
In 12.2 it was small overlay on top of other windows. Fast and useful.
And yes, I'm using nVidia proprietary drivers so I cannot make it to be
any better than it is already.

Hello,
I just installed OS3 on a Macbook and, of course, I wanted to encrypt it
as I have done it with all my machines.
But ooh: there's no boot.crypt anymore and my many times used approach
does not work anymore. S***
So I went to Yast (after swapoff --all and making sure the swap dev was
not mounted) and told it to format the swap partition with encryption.
It asked me for the passphrase but then ended up in some errors (sorry,
forgot the numbers, googling did nod give any results).
So, ok, I thought, maybe I do it with a fresh install and directly
encrypt the partitions.
But ooo, again: when telling to encrypt / it says: it is not possible to
have / encrypted (although I have a separate, not encrypted /boot).
So, is it true, that is is not possible to have a somehow safe computer
with Opensuse anymore?? For me encrypting only the home partition
doesn't make any sense when there is a freely readable swap and /. Or
did the installer just have a bad moment and made a joke on me?
Any hints are more than welcome...
Daniel

Hello,
I am still trying to install at least a half secure OS 12.3 on my
Macbook Pro.
I did a fresh install with
/dev/sda3 /boot (ext2)
/dev/sda4 / (reiser)
/dev/sda5 /home (reiser, encrypted with the installer)
/dev/sda5 /swap (swap, encrypted with the installer)
Now at boot I am asked 4 times for the password for /home and two times
for the password for swap.
I rebooted several times, it's always the same.
What I really wanted was a completely encrypted system as it was
possible until 12.1 (all partitions encrypted, except /boot).
As it is not possible anymore to have encrypted / (*), I decided to at
least encrypt /home and /swap, although it bothers me very much, that
/root, /temp, /var and so on are not encrypted and thus make my laptop
very vulnerable.
But entering the passphrase 6 times at every boot makes the system
unusable to me.
How can I resolve that? I want to enter the passphrase only once.
Thanks for hints.
Daniel
(*)
- boot.crypto was removed without giving an alternative. The page
http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Encrypted_filesystems
enplanes how to "Manually creating new LUKS volumes", but above it says
"In openSUSE 12.3 the boot.crypto scripts are no longer available as
they were obsoleted by the systemd implementation." However there is no
way to encrypt the / during install (it says "/ cannot be encrypted).
- using a LVM is not possible in my case (on a Mac Powerbook) because I
MUST prepare the partitions with the Max OSX Disk Utility, otherwise I
cannot boot. But the installer doesn't let me use those partitions, just
says that there is no space to create an LVM.
I was googling intensively, but I have not found anything that could
lead me to have a secure, encrypted OS 12.3 system. I have a lot of
sensitive data and in case of theft I could be made responsible for damages.
- unfortunately it is not possible to install 12.1 on the powerbook (it
first recognizes the dvd, but then stops telling me that there is no
bootable device. I checked the dvd on my other machine, it's fine...)

Hi,
I'nm trying to create a shared mailbox using Postfix and Dovecot. The
part of the mailbox itself is pretty simple, just define the namespace
in dovecot and that's all. Postfix is another history.
What I'm trying to do is something I've seen a lot of times in
corporate mail: emails are sent "on behalf of". The idea is that users
send their emails from the shared mailbox address ("foo(a)mydomain.com")
but with the "sender" joe(a)mydomain.com. At the end, clients see that
the mail was sent by "joe(a)mydomain.com on behalf of
foo(a)mydomain.com"). Now, users send emails from the shared mailbox but
there's no way to [easily] know which of the users that have access to
the mailbox did actually sent the email.
So, does anyone know how can I achieve this?
Thanks in advance!

I have had this happen before, but unfortunately I don't remember how I
solved it.... I am installing openSuSE 12.3 on a gateway server with 2
NICs. Somehow, somewhere openSuSE/YaST gets the device names I want to
assign to each NIC (eth0 and eth1) backwards, and I need to reverse the
assignments. I have tried the obvious approach of going in to YaST ->
Network Devices -> NetworkSettings -> Overview, select the NIC card and
edit it, go to the Hardware tab and change the device names. If I try to
simply change, for example, eth0 to eth1, it confuses YaST when it sees
two devices with the same name, in this case 2 eth1 devices. (even
though I plan to change the other NIC's device name shortly.) So I tried
a different approach, change eth0 to eth2, eth1 to eth0, and then eth2
to eth1. On the surface that seems to work, according to YaST, but the
network remains unusable and from logs and other indications I believe
that YaST is not doing a thorough job of changing device names where
necessary. I can see log messages showing communication attempts that is
going on over the network which is indicating that communication
attempts is still being done via the wrong NIC/device. (Wireshark
confirms this also.)
A question I might ask, if I delete all the network devices in YaST, and
start over with setting them up, YaST by default assigns the device
names to each NIC but as I said opposite to what I want. Where/how does
YaST get this initial assignment of device names for each NIC? Is there
somewhere I could go, underneath, and reconfigure manually the device
names? (I have done some hunting around via grep, searched all through
/etc for example, and no joy finding a magic config file....)
If not, then how do I switch the device names assigned to each NIC, if
YaST cannot do it?

I have done the usual things to enable SSL on this virtual machine.
The intent for this machine is to test ideas regarding the usage of
apache's web server on Suse 12.3, and while
"http://localhost/info.php" works, and in fact it tells me that
mod_ssl is loaded. Perhaps I should modify that statement to read
that I did the things I usually do on Windows and Ubuntu: an on those
platforms, these things (ports open inthe firewall, virtual hosts
created using the certificates I'd specified, ensuring that mod_ssl is
loaded, &c.) were enough to get successful tests of SSL (the first of
which was to use mod_rewrite to force all unencrypted requests to be
made again using https - of course, this is domain/location specific).
NB: These things also seemed to be sufficient on Opensuse 12.1
However, the server, when accessed using
"https://localhost:443/info.php" gives me an error saying the host is
unreachable. I ran /usr/bin/gensslcert to create a dummy certificate,
and related files, again for testing purposes only (and using dolphin,
I see the files it is supposed to create, and with the timestamp that
is rational given the time I ran it. I made an ssl virtual host, and
set the righ t file names for the certificates, as well as the proper
document root. And I made sure that the firewall permits access both
on port 80 for http and port 443 for https.
Apache's error log actually tells me nothing (there are no errors in
it, from the time I first installed and started httpd.
Does anyone have any ideas as to why SSL may fail on this platform?
Or does anyone have a checklist as to what to verify regarding
apache's httpd server properly serving pages over https on opensuse
12.3?
Thanks

Is there an easy/simple method of transferring a single bookmarks
folder from one PC to another?
I have a large bookmark system on my main PC that has over 45 main
folders with many sub-folders in most of them. If I want to copy only
one or two sub-folders to another system I have not been able to find a
way to do that in the drop-down menus. I don't want to backup the
entire *.json file and import it as that would overwrite an existing
bookmark list.
For instance, I have the following bookmarks:
Linux
Fedora
openSuSE
BSD
Personal
hobbies
ham_Radio
…
If I only want to copy the openSuSE sub-folder from machine "A" to
machine "C", how is that done. I don't have enough knowledge of
html formats to edit them nor of json files. Of course I could just
copy the URL for each entry, open that page on the receiving machine,
and then bookmark it but there may be up to 100 entries in a sub-folder
and each sub-folder may have many sub-sub-folders and so on.
Is there an easy export/import method of doing this?
Thanks, Tom

Hi all,
I know you are all busy with 12.3...
But any chance that the repo "./network:/vpn/...." got some modest
attention?
openvpn-2.3 has been released some time ago (8-jan).
Besides bug-fixes, it has full IPv6 support.
The most recent i can find is the rc1 in mludvig's home dir.

Hello
I just installed OS 12.3 on my Mac Powerbook 8.1 and cannot find out how
to make wireless working. There is simply no wireless device seen,
neither in Yast nor in NetworkManager.
The only thing I found was
http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Installation_on_a_Mac
which is old and talks about a broadcom-sta driver. This is not
available in Yast (packman repo enabled).
The broadcom page
http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php
says the driver supports other devices than mine (mine is 4331).
Whatever I find in google refers to Ubuntu and doesn't help me much...
Can anybody hep me any further?
Thanks!
Daniel
