[opensuse] systemctl and apache2.service
by Marc Chamberlin 25 Apr '13

25 Apr '13

I have a funny quirk going on with apache2.service in openSuSE12.3 x64 and this behavior is different from other services. If I stop the apache2.service - systemctl stop apache2.service then systemctl seems to lose almost all its understanding of the apache2.service. For example, if I issue this command - systemctl --all --type=service to determine the status of my services, the apache2.service is no longer shown in the output listing. Nor does auto complete for the service name work when I try to start it - systemctl start apac(tab) but if I type in the complete command as follows - systemctl start apache2.service that works! AND systemctl --all --type=service shows the apache2.service status AND I can now use auto complete to stop the service - systemctl stop apa(tab) will auto complete this to systemctl stop apache2.service WEIRD!! What gives? Is there something special about apache2.service that is goofing up systemctl? None of the other services behave like this, so far as I can tell....

[opensuse] Suse 12.3 - SSH X application server - X11 forwarding not working?
by peter.chiu＠stfc.ac.uk 25 Apr '13

25 Apr '13

Hello All, I have just installed Suse 12.3 on a new DELL box. The installation process seems to take much longer than before. But one thing more noticeable is that X11 forwarding is not working. >From a client host, ssh -X suse123-host I can log on okay, but echo $DISPLAY is not defined any more, whereas it works to another suse box. On the suse123-host, I have checked /etc/ssh/sshd_config, and made sure AllowAgentForwarding yes AllowTcpForwarding yes X11Forwarding yes X11DisplayOffset 10 X11UseLocalhost yes Restarted sshd, still no joy. I have also found in yast - Security and Users - Security Centre and Hardening and turned Remote Access to the X server from Di to En, presumably means disabled to enabled. Again no joy. Did also check the doc: http://doc.opensuse.org/documentation/html/openSUSE/opensuse-security/cha.s… not that helpful. Does anyone has any idea on this?

[opensuse] Copy One Hard Drive To Another Hard Drive(Backup)?
by Jesse Palser 25 Apr '13

25 Apr '13

Copy One Hard Drive To Another Hard Drive(Backup)? Hi, I was running Win 8 until the release of 12.3. I am happy with 12.3 and will continue to use it. My question now is how would I copy a 1TB HDD to another 1TB HDD for purposes of backup of data? I was hoping there was a program somewhere for 12.3 that would do the above using a convenient GUI, but I can't find one. (I would prefer a program with a GUI - not Terminal commands or BootCD) Thanks!

[opensuse] Canon LiDE25 Scanner problems on openSUSE 12.3
by C 24 Apr '13

24 Apr '13

I've got a Canon LiDE25 USB scanner which has worked perfectly with previous versions (12.1 and earlier) of openSUSE (it also works with the current Kubuntu release... just tested it). sane-find-scanner gives me: found USB scanner (vendor=0x04a9 [Canon], product=0x2220 [CanoScan]) at libusb:008:010 If I launch Skanlite, the initial scanner detect window flashes on screen really fast, and then nothing. If I now unplug the scanner, Skanlite pops up, but it has no connected scanner. Trying to scan now gives an expected I/O Error. Launching Skanlite via CLI gives nothing in the terminal. I've tried various other ways of scanning - for example via LibreOffice (Insert > Pciture >Scan > Request) with no results. If I try Insert > Pciture >Scan > Select Source, LibreOffice locks up. If I fire up VirtualBox and boot Windows or Kubuntu (in the VM), I can scan just fine - this is with my openSUSE 12.3 as host. Going into YaST > Hardware > Scanner, it sees the scanner, but it is in a "Not Configured" status. If I edit the scanner, it defaults to the correct driver (plustek). If I select it, and click next, the system churns away a bit, and comes back with the scanner falled as not configured. So... I'm stuck. This scanner used to be a 100% plug-and-play scanner with openSUSE, but now it's not. What else can I poke at to get it working in 12.3? Any tips or ideas?

[opensuse] No sound with recent KDE 4 update
by James Knott 24 Apr '13

24 Apr '13

There was a KDE 4 update recently, which appears to have killed audio on my computers. When I open KDE Mixer, there are no capture devices or streams. When I go into Pulse Audio I there are also no devices, though I can see the level meter on the playback tab following an audio source. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

This is a dual core pentium 4 hp dc5000 looks like 2 gigs of ram I had trouble with one module tg3 but it installed when I go to set up the network card which it detects, it says it cannot configure because the kernel device, eth0, wlan0, firmware, is not present Harware information in yast says it is d530 CMT DG746A BCMS782 gigabit ethernet manufacturer is broadcom the spec d530 CMT DG746A also shows up0 at the IDE controller under storage media this was fine when I got the box with centos 6 on it the error message also said to consult dmesg dmesg is big :) what am I looking for? How do I get the card working? it will be a wired connection with a static ip This will be my first experience with kde 4 too are there good places to look for basic help other than the docs? -- Bob Rea mailto:gapetard@stsams.org http://www.petard.us http://www.petard.us/blog http://www.petard.us/gallery Where is Bill Stringfellow now that we really need him? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
