Since SUSE 6.1 I allways do clean install of system , but have separate Home partition. Of course on this laptop had SusE since ver. 11.2 , and still upgrading same way :-). What's more before writing to list , I delete all XFCE config files from user space and problem still persist, On my second PC with Nvidia card I haven't this problem, so I suppose that it connectet with ATI's video card. Checked with new user - bad news xfdesktop crashed ... -- Pozdrawiam Regards Wojciech Paszkowski SP5RDU loc.KO02ID OpenSUsE user. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

Is this really so? If a library that's used by your X server is updated (recently: the Kerberos library), is the X server restarted? I.e., are all users forcefully logged out, loosing all their work with all open applications? I don't use YaST, I use zypper for updates, it's automated in our infrastructure. zypper didn't restart X, and I thank the openSUSE devs that it didn't do so. I don't like loosing my work... ;-) And, frankly, I doubt that YaST will behave different and will restart my X server during update for that reason. (There were several of these shared lib updates over the last few months, btw.) There would be a some messages here on the mailing list asking why one has been forcefully logged out, otherwise; thus my doubts are grounded in empirical observable facts, and are not only personal musings. Have you assured yourself, after your YaST update, with "zypper ps", that no program uses still any of the updated libraries? Honestly, I doubt that you did so. That you're writing about doing updates with YaST without any reference to zypper shows it. If you didn't check shared library usage, and if YaST didn't restart X, you left yourself running a server with publically known exploits. Did you do your risk management properly? What will you answer to any questions from a SOX auditor? I know what I did and what I'll be able to answer...

[opensuse] Firewall-zone question
by Koenraad Lelong 02 Apr '13

02 Apr '13

Hi, I'm configuring new laptops for my daughters. They're almost ready (except for a dvd-problem, see a thread in this list), but I'm uncertain which firewall-zone I have to put the NIC's in. On my own laptops I put all NIC's in internal zone, but is this safe ? I think mostly it will be, except for hotspots and the like. And on my machine I don't have services running (I chould check though ;-) ), but I don't know what my "customers" will need in the future, and where they will be online. What's your opinion ?

Then it's less work, and also faster, to reboot...

[opensuse] How to send executable script ?
by Dsant 01 Apr '13

01 Apr '13

I would like to send a script by email to clients. But they would not know to use terminal or chmod. If they would just have to double clic on file, it would be perfect. Could be under KDE3, KDE4 or Gnome. When they have saved the file on local disk, how to make it run ? By default, the file is opened by the text editor... -> I can easily customize the script -> I can ask clients to do anything by phone :) well, not to complicated. Any trick ?

It is tower server IBM X3200 M3 with 4 x 500 GB hot-swap HDD http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/x/hardware/tower/x3200m3/ It serves as LAMP and SFTP. I used built-in SAS utility to create HW RAID 10 which openSUSE 12.2 sees as one disk. If it is important, it has UEFI, but I use legacy BIOS mode (and GRUB 1). I don't have so much experience with such HW, so I rather ask before taking action. It is still running. ;-) So am I correct, that one disc is dying? How to recognize which one? And can I really just open running machine the case, exchange HDD and wait little bit? ;-) Have a nice day, Vojtěch -- Vojtěch Zeisek Komunita openSUSE GNU/Linuxu Community of the openSUSE GNU/Linux http://www.opensuse.org/ http://trapa.cz/

[opensuse] Problem playing DVD
by Koenraad Lelong 01 Apr '13

Hi, I recently installed OS12.3 on a new laptop. Most things are OK, espescially since I installed the AMD-video driver. Unfortunately, I can't play DVD's. I followed the wiki about restricted formats and installed the needed rpm's. When I try to start kaffeine, even without a DVD in the drive it crashes : julie@julie:~>kaffeine julie@julie:~> "/org/freedesktop/UDisks2/drives/INTEL_SSDMAEXC024G3H_CVHA242300QP024D" : property "Drive" does not exist "/org/freedesktop/UDisks2/drives/hp______BD_CMB_UJ160_HN32_058445" : property "Drive" does not exist "/org/freedesktop/UDisks2/drives/ST9750420AS_6WS2TVCH" : property "Drive" does not exist "/org/freedesktop/UDisks2/drives/INTEL_SSDMAEXC024G3H_CVHA242300QP024D" : property "DeviceNumber" does not exist "/org/freedesktop/UDisks2/drives/INTEL_SSDMAEXC024G3H_CVHA242300QP024D" : property "Device" does not exist "/org/freedesktop/UDisks2/drives/ST9750420AS_6WS2TVCH" : property "DeviceNumber" does not exist "/org/freedesktop/UDisks2/drives/ST9750420AS_6WS2TVCH" : property "Device" does not exist KCrash: Application 'kaffeine-xbu' crashing...
