For many years, I have pressed F2 to run stuff such as man, by entering #<command> in the pop up box. For some reason, this has now broken. When I do that, Seamonkey opens, which does not know how to handle those commands, instead of Konqueror. Firefox is set as the default browser. Any idea on how I can get this to work properly again? I'm running openSUSE 12.2 & KDE 4. tnx jk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] FTP Server

by Paul Groves

Hi all, I have been trying to set up an ftp server using vsftpd. I am trying to set it up so that each user has their own ftp folder and when they log in they access only this folder by default. Sounds simple enough, but I have come across two problems: * The $user environment variable does not seem to be recognised by vsftpd (i.e. set the authenticated users folder to /srv/ftp/$user). * vsftpd does not appear to be recognising acls -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] How to force default outgoing Thunderbird mail account

by Jim Cunning

I have multiple email accounts that I read in Thunderbird using its unified inbox feature. I am working to gradually eliminate a couple of accounts, and would like to force my replies to emails received in my old accounts to be sent using my new preferred account. I know how to set the default outgoing account in Thunderbird for new messages. Is there a way to force the use of a specific outgoing mail account when replying to messages received on different accounts? Thanks, Jim -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

Re: [opensuse] Root and boot partitions on a sw raid volume (opensuse 12.2 - 12.3 rc1 64bit)

by Christopher Myers

I wasn't sure if I would be able to reproduce the issue or not, since a fake-raid on Linux seems to be treated similarly as a regular software RAID :) >>> Per Jessen 03/21/13 3:06 PM >>> Christopher Myers wrote: > I'm running oS 12.2 on a small server at home with the Adaptec > HostRaid (fake RAID) adapter that's onboard the SuperMicro PDSMI+ > motherboard, with two Seagate SATA drives in RAID1.

Chris, as you're not using software RAID, I don't quite see what you want to test? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (3.2°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free DNS hosting, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] systemd: creation of tmpfiles, owned by net-wide user

by Joachim Schrod

Hi, I got a service, actually a Tomcat 5, that runs under a network-wide user/group id, i.e., one that's supplied by NIS (LDAP would be the same story). This service wants to store PID files somewhere. I want to use /run/tomcat5/ for that. This directory must be owned by the server's run user id. I can't create this directory via /etc/tmpfiles.d: systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service must not depend on ypbind.service, this would result in a dependency deadlock. Is there an "official" method to assert the existence of a directory in a systemd service unit definition, with appropriate create actions to be done when a service is started? I could use ExecStart and supply a script, to be executed with root rights; but I hope that the demands of using network-supplied resources is more widespread and thus predefined solutions exist. -- But, I haven't found them in man pages of systemd.unit and systemd.service.

[opensuse] ipv6 and routing

by Koenraad Lelong

Hi, Are there any ipv6 guru's here on the list ? My service provider gave me a /56 prefix. My modem picks up everything fine. The next step is configuring my Linux-box as a router between my internal home-network and the modem, so creating a DMZ. My big stumbling point is routing. I can't setup static routes on my modem, so how can I tell it to forward packets destined for the internal network to the linux-box ? I did setup radvd, but AFAIK there is no means to announce where to route packets that are on "internal prefixes". AFAIK radvd just announces that it's a router, not what destinations it handles. Another question is dhcpv6. I got the address of my "external" NIC of the linux-box and prefix for the internal NIC ( = IA_NA and IA_PD) from the modem with dhcpv6-client. But the modem only announces a /62 prefix (not configurable). Is this customary to do ? I mean, I got a /56 prefix but the modem discards 252 prefixes. Or do I have to "recover" these myself, manually, by setting up radvd and/or dhcpv6-server to the internal side ? Pointers to documentation are appreciated. Thanks for your help.

[opensuse] Epson Inkjet Printer L210

by Wolfgang Kluge

Good evening. I used the driver epson-inkjet-printer-201207w-1.0.0-1lsb3.2to print to the Epson L210 from openSUSE 12.2 without any problem. (printing to socket 192.168.1.6:9100 via an Ethernet to USP print server. After migrating ( new installation ) to openSUSE 12.3 I cannot any longer print to this printer using the very same hardware and driver. So far I was unable to find any driver/solution. It would really make my day if somebody could help. Regards Wolfgang Kluge -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
