[opensuse] Hard disk layout adviice
by Roger Oberholtzer 10 Apr '13

10 Apr '13

I have inherited a couple of computer systems with 6 or 7 2TB disks each. I will use one (7 disks) as my work computer. In addition to running openSUSE 12.3 (64-bit), I plan on installing the 32-bit version. I also would like to have the ability to add a couple more future OS versions. All this I plan on doing on one of the disks. That leaves me with 6 2TB disks. I honestly do not need that amount of storage. So I am thinking that I can perhaps set up some redundancy (probably via software - not sure yet what the hardware supports). At the same time, I would like to have the disks in a single logical volume. I have used LVM and RAID separately. I have never used them together. So, how to proceed? Can I achieve this setup via YaST? Which gets made first? The LV, or the RAID? Or can this combination even be done? Or is there a better way?

[opensuse] Ugly names for disks
by lynn 10 Apr '13

10 Apr '13

12.3 with LXDE Hi I have a USB disk for backup that I can take off the premises . It used to mount at: /media/disk but now it mounts to: /run/media/lynn/55bf1731-cd0c-49d1-8995-04139022821f I can live with the /run/media/lynn bit, but really, "55bf1731-cd0c-49d1-8995-04139022821f"? Can I change it to something more readable? Thanks, L x -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] netbook & OpenSuse
by Koenraad Lelong 10 Apr '13

Hi, I would like to "upgrade" the OS of my wife's eee-PC. Now it's running an Ubuntu-version for eee-pc but some applications have problems now, so I was considering installing OS 12.3 on it. Does anyone have experience with an eee-pc and a recent OpenSuse ? Does it work OK ? I already tried installing Ubuntu 12.04 on it but that's not a great success, the screen is not OK. Thanks for your info. Regards, Koenraad Lelong -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Apache SSL Certificate Generation
by Paul Groves 09 Apr '13

09 Apr '13

Hi All, I am trying to create a self-signed certificate in apache2. In the openSUSE Reference I found this: Creating a self-signed certificate is an interactive nine-step process. Change into the directory /usr/share/doc/packages/apache2 and run the following command: ./mkcert.sh make --no-print-directory /usr/bin/openssl /usr/sbin/ custom. Do not attempt to run this command from outside this directory. The program provides a series of prompts, some of which require user input. But the file mkcert.sh does not exist! I have looked on the forums and cannot find anything helpful. Any ideas? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Dark screen
by Wolfgang Mueller 09 Apr '13

09 Apr '13

Recently my wife closed my laptop folding down the screen. When I reopened it, it remained dark. Since the computer was connected to other computers by NFS, I could see that it was still running. The only way to have a light screen again, was rebooting the computer. Is there a better way to revitalize a sleeping laptop? Thanks in advance and kind regards, Wolfgang -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Remote Administration (VNC)
by John Bennett 09 Apr '13

09 Apr '13

Can anyone explain why they have a simple "Enable Remote Administration" option is YAST, with a checkbox, and Firewall workaround, and no additional info on what else has to be done to get it to work? (Not even from the associated Help prompt.) Is there a 'simple' way to gain access to a remote GUI, or even better, a relatively secure method? Thanks. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
