[opensuse] How to force default outgoing Thunderbird mail account
by Jim Cunning 03 May '13

03 May '13

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?

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

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.

[opensuse] systemd: creation of tmpfiles, owned by net-wide user
by Joachim Schrod 01 May '13

01 May '13

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 30 Apr '13

30 Apr '13

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 30 Apr '13

30 Apr '13

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

My VLC & VLC-Codecs version is identical to yours - and both from packman. Have created a new user and added to video - same result - won't play the TS files. Don't know?? May try uninstalling + reinstalling again. Thanks, John. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Most disturbed and disappointed - rightly or wrongly......
by Basil Chupin 30 Apr '13

30 Apr '13

I have just installed a Blu-Ray RW drive and in anticipation of doing this today I hired a few Blu-Ray discs to view over the weekend. However, I am most disappointed because the damn thing does not want to play ball with the BD discs :'( . Well, at least when it comes to using vlc with them :-( . vlc won't recognise them and won't play them even though the BD drive is recognised when I insert an ordinary DVD in the unit. All other discs are recognised and playable (Sl and DL DVDs, CDs). I know that 'developers' have been fooling around with files and dependencies which have made applications stop working until an additional file has had to be installed, eg, python-kde4 -plasma, and vlc had to have the codecs installed as a separate dependency, but what else does vlc require to be able to play Blu-Ray DVDs?! Does anyone, please, know what is required to get vlc to play Blu-Ray discs? Never have I had hassles with vlc - until today with Blu-Ray discs :-( . I have BD discs sitting here to be viewed so if anybody knows how to get vlc to play them I would be most grateful.
