I have been looking for squid 2.7 for opensuse 12.3 - no luck. Does anyone know where I might find it? I need 2.7 for the storeurlrewrite functionality which is not yet supported by squid 3.2. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (16.5°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

12.3 Hi everyone I dropped a new tar.gz icon theme on the xfce settings > appearance > icons. It appears on the list. If I select it, the icons do not change. In fact if I choose any of the other themes they don't change either. I have logged out and back in but nada. What do I have to to in order to activate the icons?

[opensuse] List packages from specific patch (with zypper)?
by Andrey Borzenkov 26 Apr '13

26 Apr '13

Recently I was presented by software update window with new patch that wanted to install new KDE with several GB of size. I do not have KDE installed at all so I canceled it and run "zypper patch". It installed a dozen of packets; but it apparently did also install openSUSE-2013-353 which provides new KDE. How can I list packages included in specific patch (or, better - packages on system install by specific patch)? I'm just curious what *was* installed from this big KDE patch here? It is 12.3 if it matters. TIA -andrey -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Booting from LiveCD dumped on a directory (LiveHD)
by Teresa e Junior 26 Apr '13

26 Apr '13

Since the official KDE LiveCD image is too big to fit on a CD, I am trying to boot into openSUSE 12.3 by dumping the contents of the ISO file into a directory (/boot/openSUSE) on /dev/sda1, and then configuring LILO to boot from it. I've been able to do this on Debian, Ubuntu and Fedora, but unfortunately in openSUSE I'm met with the message "Searching for boot device in Application ID..." and then "Failed to find MBR identifier!". I thought that setting `nombridcheck' would help, but it doesn't seem to make any difference. Here is the "most correct" version of what I got so far, although I tried with many other parameters: image = /boot/openSUSE/boot/i386/loader/linux label = "openSUSE 12.3" root = "UUID=98960673-d777-4ca5-93d0-56065ea9e56e" initrd = /boot/openSUSE/boot/i386/loader/initrd addappend = "ramdisk_size=512000 ramdisk_blocksize=4096 quiet preloadlog=/dev/null showopts kiwidebug=1 livecd_config=/boot/openSUSE/config.isoclient" Is it possible to boot the Live openSUSE medium in such way? Thanks for all the help! Teresa e Junior -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Javascript, Ajax & JQuery misbehaving in Firefox 20 on 12.3 KDE 4.10.2
by Carl Hartung 26 Apr '13

26 Apr '13

Hi All, A site that I regularly administer has started misbehaving in Firefox since my upgrade to 12.3 (actually a clean, fresh install.) The breakage happens on pages where Javascript, Ajax and JQuery are providing interfaces to selected admin and editing functions. Problems like 'submit' buttons not doing anything ... no errors ... just nothing. Konqueror and Chrome seem to be fine (limited testing) so, on the off chance that something was 'stuck' in my transplanted profile, I closed Firefox and saved it (mv ~/.mozilla to ~/.mozilla_keep) then relaunched Firefox to test it again ... no change. From 'about:plugins' in Firefox: IcedTea-Web Plugin (using IcedTea-Web 1.3.1 (suse-4.1.5-x86_64)) File: IcedTeaPlugin.so Any ideas, other than switching browsers :-) ? Another 'wrinkle' ... possibly related, possibly not ... is someone else running a current version of Firefox is seeing the same problem on a Micro$oft box.

In my experience it is a hardware issue of some kind (bad disk, cables, ram, power supply, etc.) I have nothing against rsync, but if you want/need functionality like the above, the ewftools package I mentioned can also do it. ewfacquire is a tool that will copy all the sectors of a physical disk into a large file. It does add CRC/hash info to the "image" file. It also will break the image file up into segments. I have used 2GB segments very often, so a 500GB drive image would require 250 segment files to hold it. It also supports multiple compression levels, so it often compresses down pretty significantly. To verify the image still is an accurate copy of what was read you can use ewfverify. It will verify the CRCs and an overall hash. To restore the image, ewfexport. To just work with the image as if it was one large file like a simple dd to a file would create, you use ewfmount.

[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?
