Bad blocks on a ReiserFS volume. How to retrieve files?
by Silviu Marin-Caea 14 Aug '24

14 Aug '24

I have a large hard-disk (120 GB) on which some blocks went bad. Now, it cannot be mounted. Attached is what debugreiserfs says. What can I do; I'm newbie to reiserfs architecture. I thought that ReiserFS keeps copies of the superblock or something, like ext2/3 does. reiserfsck says "error occured looks like hardware problem. bread cannot read block 13271040". That's the actual number it displays. PS I have asked the same question on the reiserfs-list, but it's extremely low traffic. Maybe someone here knows more.

Sorry SuSE: 9.1 is Waste of time and money!
by Terje J. Hanssen 17 May '24

17 May '24

I am sorry to conclude that my upgrade from SuSE 9.0 Pro to 9.1 Pro has been waste of time and money for me, so far. The same I have to say about the free SuSE "Installation support". The reason is that my SuSE 9.1 installation only detects 1 of my 3 SCSCI devices (as I wrote in another subject on this forum: http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-linux-e/2004-May/3254.html) Yamaha 4416S CDRW recorder detected HP DVD Writer 100i NOT detected Epson 1640SU scanner NOT detected It's rather stupid. I have installed 9.1 using the DVD disk just in the HP DVD drive, but after the installation of 9.1, the KDE/Konqueror /media/recorder cannot access it and YaST2 cannot install additional software from it. Only one "Cdrecorder" is found in My computer and that is the Yamaha 4416 drive, which the KDE/Konqueror file manager assign as /media/recorder11. I am sure 9.1 is the reason, as I hadn't this problems with 9.0. I have tried both an update and two several new installation of 9.1. Neither SJDS nor Windows on the same multiboot PC have problems to detect these devices. In my opinion SuSE should therefore debug 9.1 better and longer, and not leave the problems to the customers. I see SuSE notes on their web saying that they know SCSI scanners are not detected in 9.1. But regarding my HP DVD writer problem, the SuSE support (as usual) don't take the responsibility and argue that this problem (a combination of IDE disk and SCSI devices) isn't included in their free installation support! This sounds remarkable, and I have never had a modern PC of so simple model or configuration that it has fitted the limited rules for the free installation support. Terje J. Hanssen

Adding fonts?
by Tracer Bullet 22 Aug '16

22 Aug '16

Hi all, Reading some mails on the GIMP mail list, I ran across the procedure to install some more fonts for not only Gimp, but the system and StarOffice to use also. Well, I installed the fonts, went to the shell and issued the command xset fp+ <font directory> and then the rehash command and all fonts are there! Ok, that went well, but each time I restart the system, I have to do it all over again? Is there a way to make it permanent and read the new fonts like it does the ones the system installs or is that a no-no? end of line Tracer Shell commands: xset fp+ <new font directory> xset fp rehash -- ---KMail 1.2--- SuSE Linux v7.2--- Registered Linux User #225206 /tracerb(a)sprintmail.com/ *Magic Page Products* *Team Amiga* http://home.sprintmail.com/~tracerb

[opensuse] DenyHosts daemon mode on openSUSE 11.3
by LLLActive＠GMX.Net 23 Jan '15

23 Jan '15

Hi, I am trying to run DenyHosts on OS 11.3. I can get it to sync and update the hosts.deny file, but with "rcdenyhosts status" it reports as being "unused" just after I started it with "rcdenyhosts start". I tried also with yast, setting up as a service (daemon) and starting it. It also stops immediately. In the denyhosts.log file there is no error info, just what it used to set it up at start. I've gone through the configs several times, no joy. Anyone got DenyHosts running properly? :-/ Dreiel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] What is the "official" way to mount floppy in openSUSE 12.x?
by Istvan Gabor 20 Jun '14

20 Jun '14

Hello: The subject says the question. [In pre 12 suse versions I had a /media/floppy directory where the floppy could be mounted at (by using the floppy icon on KDE3's desktop). In 12.x there is no such directory, and if created it will be removed at next boot, as I know correctly. Of course I could make a floppy dir under / or somewhere else, but I'd prefer its location to be in /media, since floppy is a media. Why should it be then outside of media dir?] What is the official way of mounting floppy in 12.x.? I have openSUSE 12.1 with KDE3 currently.

[opensuse] Android print solution?
by David C. Rankin 15 Jul '13

15 Jul '13

Guys, With the iphone we were able to configure good print function via CUPS/Avahi, is there anything similar that can be done with an Android tablet? Looking, it doesn't appear that there is any basic print capability provided by Android (3.2 Honeycomb). I would like to print to by openSuSE server in the same manner I do from iOS. Anybody found a good solution? I have found PrintBot, but that isn't a solution because it cannot be used legally where confidentiality is required. (data is transferred to a 3rd party server before printing). I need to find a direct print solution. What says the braintrust? -- David C.

[opensuse] Overloaded wireless?
by Greg Freemyer 03 Jun '13

03 Jun '13

All, At my parents house they have a old wireless router (maybe 7 or 8 years old). It normally works fine, but this weekend we had an extra 10 adults at their house and the wireless kept dropping from all the connected devices every minute or two. Then, this morning after everyone left, the wireless was stable again. The only thing I can think of is that there may be some kind of device limit on the router and when we exceeded the limit, it would kick off one connection in order to grant the next one and we ended up with a big game of king of the hill. Does that sound reasonable? To keep this on topic, one of the devices going on and off line was my opensuse 12.3 laptop.

[opensuse] Nepomuk - The Opposite Question
by John Andersen 01 Jun '13

01 Jun '13

I've searched high and low on Google, and can find tons of pages about how to kill off nepomuk. But, I actually want to make it WORK. (I know, crazy, right?) I have a mountain of code that I want to wade thru, and having something that would help me find all references to specific data names, or subroutines throughout the code base would be great. So its running on the machine, it indexed a boatload of stuff, I selected the directory structures I wanted indexed, and let it do its thing. The Places portion of Dolphin shows me a list of types, one of which is Documents and all the source code modules show up in there. But I STILL can't find file names or variable names (data elements) in this source code. At least it won't find any such thing in Dolphin's built in Search. Is there a some other tool I need to use for this? -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Please help understanding use of chmod and chown to get Wordpress installed
by Ted Byers 31 May '13

31 May '13

I asked about this on a Wordpress group, but they said this is a Linux question rather than a WordPress question. That I must ask reflects only that when it comes to administering a Linux box, I am a complete novice, even though I have been programming for decades. On the following page (http://codex.wordpress.org/Updating_WordPress) I find the following: "Automatic Update "Current versions of WordPress (2.7+) feature an Automatic Update. You can launch the automatic Update by clicking the link in the new version banner (if it's there) or by going to the Tools -> Upgrade (or Update for version 3) menu. Once you are on the "Update WordPress" page, click the button "Update Automatically" to start the process off. You shouldn't need to do anything else and, once it's finished, you will be up-to-date. "For Automatic Update to work, at least two criteria must be satisfied: "(a) file ownership: all of your WordPress files must be owned by the user under which your web server executes. In other words, the owner of your WordPress files must match the user under which your web server executes. The web server user (named "apache", "web", "www", "nobody", or some such) is not necessarily the owner of your WordPress files. Typically, WordPress files are owned by the ftp user which uploaded the original files. If there is no match between the owner of your WordPress files and the user under which your web server executes, you will receive a dialog box asking for "connection information", and you will find that no matter what you enter in that dialog box, you won't be able to update automatically. "(b) file permissions: all of your WordPress files must be either owner writable by, or group writable by, the user under which your Apache server executes. "On shared hosts, WordPress files should specifically NOT be owned by the web server. If more then one user owns different files in the install (because of edits made by deleting and re-uploading of files via different accounts, for example), the file permissions need to be group writable (for example, 775 and 664 rather then the default 755 and 644). File permissions (in general) should be adjusted as appropriate for the server environment (the shared host RackSpace CloudSites for example recommends 700 and 600 for a single ftp user, or 770 and 660 for multiple ftp users). See the file permission section for more (some files and folders require stricter permissions). " However, On the following page (http://codex.wordpress.org/Hardening_WordPress) I see: "Some neat features of WordPress come from allowing various files to be writable by the web server. However, allowing write access to your files is potentially dangerous, particularly in a shared hosting environment. "It is best to lock down your file permissions as much as possible and to loosen those restrictions on the occasions that you need to allow write access, or to create specific folders with less restrictions for the purpose of doing things like uploading files. "Here is one possible permission scheme. "All files should be owned by your user account, and should be writable by you. Any file that needs write access from WordPress should be writable by the web server, if your hosting set up requires it, that may mean those files need to be group-owned by the user account used by the web server process. "/ The root WordPress directory: all files should be writable only by your user account, except .htaccess if you want WordPress to automatically generate rewrite rules for you. /wp-admin/ The WordPress administration area: all files should be writable only by your user account. /wp-includes/ The bulk of WordPress application logic: all files should be writable only by your user account. /wp-content/ User-supplied content: intended to be writable by your user account and the web server process. "Within /wp-content/ you will find: "/wp-content/themes/ Theme files. If you want to use the built-in theme editor, all files need to be writable by the web server process. If you do not want to use the built-in theme editor, all files can be writable only by your user account. /wp-content/plugins/ Plugin files: all files should be writable only by your user account. "Other directories that may be present with /wp-content/ should be documented by whichever plugin or theme requires them. Permissions may vary. "Changing file permissions "If you have shell access to your server, you can change file permissions recursively with the following command: "For Directories: "find /path/to/your/wordpress/install/ -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \; "For Files: f"ind /path/to/your/wordpress/install/ -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \; What I do not understand is how to reconcile the ownership and mermissions required for automated updates with what is best to make the site as hard as is practicable. Note, this is for a multidomain install, but I own the hardware, so I do not know if this counts as a shared host or not. Note, I have not yet installed Wordpress on the machine in qustion, although I have downloaded and unpacked the latest release (so I can begin editing the configuration file as I need to do). As I did so using my account, I guess that means my account is deemed by the SOS to be the owner, and I do not know if I need to change ownership of some or all of the files once I move them all to document root (as the Wordpress installation instructions tell me to do), or if I need to do something else (I do not have a budget to let me hire a system administrator to do this for me, and indeed, in a business environment, I'd be relying on the MIS to handle all of this sort of thing). Can someone explain to me how one reconciles the ownership and permissions requirements for updates with those for ensuring system security, and what series of commands I should enter to put that into effect (relating that to the documentation of chown and chmod, would help me understand the how of it, if you don't mind).?

Perhaps the Developer for K3B could send some pointers your way. I suppose you (root) could look at the device in /dev and compare the permissions on /dev/sr1 and set /dev/sr0 to be the same but I seem to remember there is some function in OpenSuse that resets these on each boot. At least you could look there to see if they have different permissions. (these zero size entries in a "pertend" file system) But if you do decide to modify them, remember their settings. And perhaps seek better advice than I am able to give on the subject of permissions on /dev devices. Just throwing this out there... My K3B is installed from Packman, I had to allow vendor changes to get that to work, but it gets around some intentional breakage in the OpenSuse Packages. The package on my computer is installed from the packman repo, but it is the one that is malfunctioning.

[opensuse] Playing with Grub and Plymouth splash
by Marco Calistri 31 May '13

31 May '13

Hello openSuSErs! I have started to play with boot-splash (Grub2 and Plymouth) in order to change default boot-splash of openSuSE 12.3. I am still a bit confused about the requirements and settings and the way to update the boot loader. For example I have installed Plymouth theme Solar and I ran the "set-default-theme" and the "rebuild-initrd" script, now I see that during boot splash (after Grub2 splash) there is just a green progression bar in the bottom without any images on desktop, while at shutdown, I see a Sun with solar explosions animations in the low right corner of the screen and a centralized image (I don't remember the name reported now). Is this expected? What about DRM requirements? Is that a possible reason of the fact I don't see any images during boot and see only at shutdown? About Grub2 I have installed a boot spash from Cristian Rodriguez "SuSE Eleganter Bootsplash" (despite I ignore if it was compatible with 12.3). But at boot I keep seeing same Grub2 default openSUSE loader. About Grub2 conf ,I am in doubt about kernel parameters I have to add and/ or remove: my default kernel parameters line was "splah=silent" which I replaced with "quiet splash" as reported onto another Grub2 guide. Is there some good URL treating about Plymouth and Grub2 boot splash settings for openSUSE? Many Thanks!

[opensuse] NetworkManager and default route
by Alvin Beach 31 May '13

31 May '13

Hello all, Is there a way to set the interface to be the default route in NetworkManager? My desktop (openSUSE 12.3 KDE 4.10.3) has two interfaces: (1) Wifi USB dongle which connects to my router (Internet/Intranet) and (2) Wired Ethernet port that connects to my NAS[1]. In this situation, the Wired Ethernet interface because the default route. I want/need the Wifi interface to be the default route. Both interfaces work (connect, tx, rx). However, I need to reset the default route using /sbin/route command. I cannot seem to find the setting in the NM widget in KDE. Cheers, Alvin [1] Ideally, I would connect the NAS (DLink) to the router instead. However, the USB dongle sucks and drops the connection due to poor hardware. This messes up transferring large/many files (e.g. Digikam) from the NAS over wifi. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] OS 12.1: Program crash (hugin) after last update
by Peter Suetterlin 31 May '13

31 May '13

Hello list, yesterday I did a 'zypper ref ; zypper up' on my openSUSE 12.1 computer (laptop). Amongst others, xorg-x11-server received an update to version 7.6_1.10.4-36.9.2 (yes, it's already a month old, but I don't 'up' too often) Today, I wanted to run hugin to do some panorama work, but all I got was The program 'hugin' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)'. (Details: serial 1961 error_code 3 request_code 137 minor_code 4) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.) [Inferior 1 (process 23357) exited with code 01] The hugin program I use is self compiled, so my first try was to recompile, but that didn't help - well, the 'serial' number has changed: (Details: serial 4118 error_code 3 request_code 137 minor_code 4) So I tried to revert to the previous version (7.6_1.10.4-36.5.1), but still get the same error. So it must be something else. But what? Has anyone seen similar problems after an update during this month, or an idea what to look for?

[opensuse] What is it with this behaviour in 12.3?
by Basil Chupin 31 May '13

31 May '13

In another thread I mentioned that when I switch on my external 2TB USB WD HDD, Dolphin accesses it and displays its contents to me; but then when I go to use mc (Midnight Commander) this device is no longer mounted in /media as it has been in past many years but now is found in /var/run/media/<username>/<devicename> [in this case the volume name is WD]. Quite by accident a few minutes ago ('cause I am having another hassle, to be describe later) I discovered that the device is ALSO mounted in 'run/media/<username>/<device>'. (How many times is such a device 'mounted' and where else may I find it?) Has anyone else found this to be the case?

I spent some time looking at this during the last two evenings and haven't found a way to add /dev/sr0 to the list of devices. In Settings - k3b> Devices, only device /dev/sr1 is present. There is a sentence present in the header that says "K3b tries to detect all your devices properly. If K3b is unable to detect your drive, you need to modify their permissions to give K3b write access to all devices." But since the device isn't present in the list, it seems that maybe another file would need to be modified to allow k3b to see the DVD Burner /dev/sr0 so that I may set its permissions. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

Hi Mark, You were very specific about your software versions and you at least listed the troubleshooting steps you've taken ... which is extremely helpful ... but you were not very informative with respect to: 1. the type of media that is failing (make/brand & type of disc) The type of media that are not recognized by k3b in opensuse 12.3 are Verbatim DVD+R and Memorex CD-R. They are now recognized in /dev/sr1 but not in /dev/sr0. 2. the affected drive make, model & firmware version There are two of these installed internally in my computer. They are LG DVD Burner 22X DVD+R 8X DVD+RW 22X DVD-R 16X DVD-ROM 48X CD-ROM Black SATA Model GH22NS50 - OEM They are listed in Yast>Hardware>Block Devices as DVDRAM GH22NS50 (/dev/sr0) and DVDRAM GH22NS50 (/dev/sr1). The operating system (opensuse 12.3) sees them, but not k3b for an unknown reason. If you figure out why, you will solve the problem. To view the burner go to this url: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827136167 I have never installed firmware in either Windows7 or in Linux (both PCLinuxOS or openSUSE) for these DVD Burners, because they have worked immediately upon installation in all previous operating systems. Specifically for opensuse, this has been 11.4, 12.1, and 12.2. The problem has only presented itself with 12.3. Yast>Hardware Information>DVDRAM GH22NS50 lists the driver as ahci and the kernel driver as ahci. 3. error messages (i.e. launch k3b via cli; also check logs) Starting k3b from console ~k3b KGlobal::locale(): Warning your global KLocale is being recreated with a valid main component instead of a fake component, this usually means you tried to call i18n related functions before your main component was created.

Neither program recognizes that there is a disc in the drive" At first glance, the problem you're describing is unrecognized media. Recognizing media is usually an internal function of the drive. k3b and Brassero merely convey (report) such failures. Then you write "There is no problem with the burner hardware ... using PCLinuxOS ... k3b recognizes the disc and is able to burn. ... also works in Win7 ..." And finally, (from above) "... it is only working half-way. ... It reads one DVD writer, but not the other installed DVD writer."" Please clarify what you mean by "it" :-) There's a lot of context switching happening in your writing here. What I meant was that k3b only recognizes one drive. It recognizes /dev/sr1 but not /dev/sr0. Assuming "It" here means k3b, you seem to be saying that the attached external drive works fine with the otherwise unrecognized discs (media) while those same discs are not being recognized by the internal drive. (Again, this seems to be describing an 'unrecognized media' problem. Maybe the internal drive isn't /designed/ to work with that media type? Or, they /may/ work, depending on the brand, but they're not 'officially' supported by the drive manufacturer.) I wrote in an earlier post that I have no external drive to attach to the computer for trouble shooting. I guess that you didn't see that post, but no matter. I can clear that up for you now. There is no external drive, I have two internal DVD Burners. I don't believe that it is a problem with the burner hardware, as it has worked in all my previous opensuse versions. Also, I made the point that it still works at the present time with Win7 and with PCLinuxOS, both of which are installed on this same computer. This should help you to eliminate questions about it being faulty media or hardware. So, is it the case under Linux that the internal drive does _not_ recognize the media, but that the same media works fine, in the same drive, under Win7 and PCLinuxOS? Yes, that is the point that I am trying to make, exactly. FWIW, I have had the experience of needing to update a CD/DVD-RW drive's firmware (using an OEM supplied Windows installer) before the device would work reliably under Linux. Regards, Carl I now have two identical DVD Burners internally mounted for which I have never installed firmware in Win7 or linux. But they both now work in win7, pclinuxos, and have worked in previous versions of opensuse. Now, one is recognized and works to burn discs, while the other doesn't using either k3b or brassero in opensuse 12.3.

[opensuse] -rpath and ldconfig
by Roger Oberholtzer 30 May '13

30 May '13

I have an application that runs on a diskless openSUSE. It gets rebooted often. The application uses libraries that are in a directory that is mounted via NFS. The mount works and all libs are present. The application is linked with -rpath /opt/rsoft/lib to tell where to look for DSOs. For some reason, some of the libraries in /opt/rsoft/lib will not be found until ldconfig is run. Why? I have checked that the binary contains the directory: $ objdump -x checkstream |grep RPATH RPATH /opt/rsoft/lib The library that is not found is referenced by another library that is linked to the app. These are libraries from intel (intel Performance Primitives), so I do not control how they themselves are built. Could it be that RPATH applies to the binary and the libraries it has references to, but does not apply to libraries loaded by these libraries? Or have I missed something? This is on openSUSE 11.2.

CD or DVD? and are you trying to burn an openSUSE LIVE CD - say the latest versions - because if you are trying to do this and are using a CD rather than a DVD then k3b is smart enough to "tell" you to insert the correct disc because the LIVE CD is too big for a CD.

I cannot remember _EVER_ solving any problem by putting a modeline in any Xorg config file (unlike for XFree86), though I do remember multiple attempts to do so. The above modeline is the same as what I get. I'll try creating these files with the minimum info and see if I have any luck. Will be at least a few days before I can ascertain anything though. I'm a bit reluctant to dredge up my long history of problems especially since I'm hijacking somebody else's thread here. But in brief: my laptop's Mobility Radeon 9700 card doesn't play well with the radeon drivers ever since version 11.something of openSUSE around the time KMS was introduced. It's not a problem with the individual card since I had exactly the same issues with a desktop machine and a Radeon 9600 card (which the 9700 is based on). I've tried fresh installs but always the same thing happens. Everything runs fine for the first few days, then the system locks up, the screen flashes blank for a moment and comes back but everything's frozen. Only a magic keys reboot can get me out. Once this cycle commences it becomes more frequent, like there's some memory corruption because on reboots it often happens again very soon. I've tried all kinds of things with x.org files, KDE/compositing settings, nomodeset, etc. I've posted on forums, contributed to various bug reports and recently started another on Bugzilla (unanswered, see here: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=817528) but I'm hitting a brick wall for about 3 or 4 years now. The laptop otherwise works fine but the only workaround is to disable 3D via the xorg 50-device file, causing the machine to run on software drivers with higher fan speed and noise and slowdowns that sometimes render it almost unusable. That's already more than brief. What I really need is for someone to look at some log files (such as that attached to the above bug report) and see if they hold any clues. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] K3b doesn't recognize disc
by Mark Misulich 30 May '13

30 May '13

Hi, I spent some time last evening working on trying to get k3b to recognize a disc in the disc drive without success. I also tried to use Brassero to burn the disc, but it also has the same problem. Neither program recognizes that there is a disc in the drive. The disc is recognized by kde. I am using openSuse 12.3 with kde 4.10.2 release 1. The k3b version is 2.0.2-15.44-x86_64. The repository where the k3b version comes from is http://packman.links2linux.de, however I recently changed the packman repository to http://packman.inode.at/suse/openSUSE_12.3 But I don't think the change of repository has anything to do with the problem. I followed through this bug https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812462 and found that my /etc/pam.d/common-session and /etc/pam.d/common-session-pc files seem to be configured correctly. I also followed through this thread http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/multimedia/44251… but didn't find anything useful to resolve the problem. I will need some help to get this problem fixed. Thanks. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Radeon driver

Hi, I while ago I installed OS12.3 on two identical laptops. Since I had probems with the "standard" driver (radeon), I had to install the fglrx-driver.

I followed "http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Radeon#Supported_hardware" to do that, but I don't get a graphical screen. The last I see on <crtl><alt><F7> is : [ OK ] Reached target Graphical Interface.

[opensuse] low cost PC with a RS-232 port? Possibly an ARM?
by Greg Freemyer 29 May '13

29 May '13

All, I built a webserver for a rs-232 connected weatherstation from 1998 era laptop. (256 MB ram, low power CPU) I only used the screen / keyboard early on to configure things. Also the laptop never moves so there is no advantage to it being a laptop. The laptop has died so I want to replace it. I'd like the replacement to be relatively small so it can fit under a bed, etc. I've got a keyboard / mouse / monitor I can hook up for the initial build, but I would hope after that all support would be via ssh. I'd like the PC to have a rs-232 connection just because I've read the weatherstation doesn't work well with usb-to-rs232 adapters. Recommendations?

[opensuse] Problems with Rkward (R GUI)
by Vojtěch Zeisek 28 May '13

28 May '13

Hello, I installed R 3.0.1 from openSUSE repository devel:languages:R:base and Rkward 0.6.1 from devel:languages:R:supplement on openSUSE 12.3 (64b) with KDE 4.10.2. Rkward 0.6.1 is supposed to support R 3 and above. During start up Rkward says there were error during launching R core. Some errors Rkward is not able to handle yet.

Any idea how to get it to work? Best regards, Vojtěch -- Vojtěch Zeisek Komunita openSUSE GNU/Linuxu Community of the openSUSE GNU/Linux http://www.opensuse.org/ http://trapa.cz/

[opensuse] LibreOffice, Master Document, & Alphabetical Index [Not including all sub-documents]

Version 3.6:build-304 (Build ID: 360m1(Build:304)) openSUSE 12.3/x86_64 I have a LibreOffice master document with many sub-documents. At the beginning of the document, in the master document, is a Table Of Contents - it works, it generates a table of contents for the entire document, including all sub-documents. At the end is an Appending with a concordance. It *previously* worked; but now I notice that it is only generating entries for a hand-ful of items. It certain isn't including all the subdocuments.

[12.3 64Bit KDE] - UEFI Boot Info Lost In BIOS/Can't Boot OS ? Hi, I have Microsoft Windows 8 Pro 64Bit installed on one HDD. I have openSUSE 12.3 64Bit KDE installed on another HDD. I have a motherboard which supports UEFI booting. I was running openSUSE 12.3 64Bit KDE since release with no problems. I recently temporarily swapped openSUSE HDD for the Windows 8 HDD. Windows booted fine and I was able to do what I needed to do. When I was finished with Windows 8 HDD I swapped it for openSUSE HDD. Problem now is openSUSE HDD wont boot? The UEFI boot information in the BIOS has been lost for my openSUSE OS? Anyone know how to fix the above? I need to occasionally swap openSUSE & Win 8 HDD's. Thanks!

[opensuse] Help! Need to create xorg.conf or edit 50-device.conf for OLD laptop
by Larry Stotler 22 May '13

22 May '13

Before I begin - IF you are going to say that xorg.conf isn't needed, then please don't waste my time by replying. Xorg's automagic config SUCKS if you have old hardware or multiple monitors with different settings. How I MISS SaX2! Or about how I should get a newer laptop(I have an A30p & a T60p sitting beside this so I HAVE Newer machines). Anyway, I am trying to get an OLD Thinkpad 390X to run MPlayer on 12.3. This thing is a DINOSAUR, but it plays movies just fine. And it has a 6600mAh battery that lasts a long time. If you go here: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Neomagic_MagicMedia256AV You see that an option HAS to be added to make MPlayer work correctly. "Option "OverlayMem" "829440" # Sufficient memory for a full-screen DVD" X runs fine but Mplayer says "It seems there is no Xvideo support for your video card available. xvinfo shows "no adapters present". From what I can tell, the "neomagic" driver is still in Xorg & should work. What I have tried: 1. I have tried to add just this line to 50-devices.conf. When I do it won't start X 2. I have tried to use Xorg -configure(which is evidently outdated I KNOW) and it fails with :"Number of created screens does not match number of detected devices. Configuration failed." I have exhausted reasonable googling to find any useful answer. Just a lot of "you dont need xorg.conf anymore" answers which DON'T HELP! 3. I installed SaX3 & it aborts when I try to configure the "Monitor" I'm to the point that I'm gonna install an old version of openSUSE that actual had an xorg.conf & try to copy the file forward. If anybody has an ideas on how I can make this work I would be grateful.

[opensuse] home dirs
by Hans Witvliet 20 May '13

20 May '13

Hi all, I was wondering, there are several ways to separate the machine where storage for home directories are provided from the place where it is needed. This is needed in case you have multiple (virtual) desktop machines, where a number of people could log in. Most obvious techniques are nfs and smb, and perhaps if you can enforce that no one is ever logged in twice, one might use raw block devices. Point that kept me awake, is the scalability: it might very well work for ten or hundred users, but what when confronted with 1000, 10.000 or more users? At the desktop-side, i presume you have to limit the amount of simultaneously logged in users to 100-200 (depending on the amount of mem in a server). And with pam, you can mount the user dir when needed. But how about the storage side? At one end of the spectrum you can have a single NFS/SMB server exporting the whole /home. While at the other end you could export each user's home directory individually. Clearly, from the point of view of load and availablity single exporting servers should be ruled out. But how many exports is feasable? And how many nfs/smb-services can you have on a single server? afaicr, KVM or XEN create far too much overhead for separation, but perhaps nfs/smb server(s) can be placed into LXC-containers?? On purpose i leave out a number of elementary items, like the storage itself, network itself and geographically redundancy. Any admin around here confronted with likewise questions? If there are any rules-of-thumbs, i'd like to know, as it kept me awake all night ;-) My team and i are not responsible for building such environment, just for demo's and proof-of-concepts, but these have to be realistic and scalable.

[opensuse] wireless interface not achieving full bit rate
by Per Jessen 20 May '13

20 May '13

In roughly the same position, i.e. with 2 meters of each other, I have two systems both connected over wifi. One is my livingroom mythtv box, the other is a laptop. Occasionally the mythtv machine will start having pauses in video+audio delivery and I've narrowed this down to being due to a lower wifi bitrate - today I saw 18Mbit/s and 9Mbit/s whilst the laptop would be doing fine at 54Mbit/s. I stoppped and started the tvbox interface, didn't help. I reboot the access point, didn't help. Then I rebooted the mythtv box, and voila! bitrate was re-established at 54Mbit/s. It is as if the bitrate slowly deteriorates. Occasionally the tvbox will also get completely stuck, which I'm beginning to suspect is the wifi connection failing renegotiation. The WLAN card is Ralink corp. RT2561/RT61 - I think it's a D-Link. Has anyone experienced something similar? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (15.6°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

RT2561/RT61 - I think it's a D-Link. Has > anyone experienced something similar? I'm not totally sure but that sounds like the same card I had (and still have packed in a box in an attic somewhere). A PCI version, possibly D-Link. I had issues with it for years because the SerialMonkey drivers weren't finished, then once they entered the mainline kernel, a system I installed it in had kernel panics on boot-up when it was installed. Once I got over that hurdle (kernel bugfix IIRC), the internet connection ran like treacle, despite the machine being only three metres away from the router in the same room. That was under, hmm... openSUSE 11.4 maybe. I resorted to installing an old secondhand PCI ethernet card on that machine, but briefly plugged the wireless card back in for a short while to test and it seemed to be running quite fast, better even than the wired connection. Haven't touched it since though, seemed too unreliable. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

I was under the impression that applications, KDE applications at least, signalled that they had started. I was further under the impression that the kde start-up monitored that. I've jsut done that with a few KDE applications ... games, konqeror. Yes as soon as the kde application starts the bouncing cursor stops. I can imagine that some applications might not use libraries correctly and so they don't so communicate. And LO! that is teh case. I've tried starting Freeplane and Freemind, mindmap tools that use java, started by shell scripts. In both cases the bouncing cursor persisted long after the program started.

[opensuse] Trouble installing openSUSE12.3
by Roger Oberholtzer 17 May '13

17 May '13

I have a SuperMicro computer on which I seem unable to install openSUSE (11.2, 12.1 or 12.3). I can install Windows XP and CentOS 5.5. But not openSUSE. The machine has been back to the supplier, who claim they can find nothing wrong with it. I can do the first part of the install up to and including when the system is copied to the hard disk. After that, the system is reboot to finish the install. When the kernel is booting, it gets so far as to printing Switching to clocksource tsc and then nothing more can be done. No keyboard control is possible. I have tried every kernel command line option I know to see if I can effect a change. Nope. It stops dead at this point. What could the issue be?

[opensuse] Several systemd-private-* directories in /tmp
by Andrea Turrini 17 May '13

17 May '13

Hi all, after having installed oS 12.3 from scratch two weeks ago, I have found that /tmp contains a lot of systemd-private-* directories. Currently there are 85 of such directories but hopefully they are all empty, so they do not waste too much space. Is it correct that such directories remain in /tmp? Why are they not removed by systemd on shutdown? Best, Andrea -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Routing problem with PCMCIA Ethernet card and wlan0
by Peter Maffter 15 May '13

15 May '13

Hello, I have a PCMCIA Ethernet card in my laptop for connecting via wire to a router and sometimes I use WLAN for connecting to a different provider via UMTS. The internal ethernet eth0 for my internal private network has a fixed 192.168.254.X address and fixed routing. The PCMCIA external ethernet has a fixed 10.0.0.X address since that fits with the internet router that I use when using wired connection to internet. Routing currently: Default IPv4 gateway is the 10.0.0.138 IP of my router where I connect wired. WLAN uses DHCP4 with a range of 192.168.123.0 to 192.168.123.254 which is routed to wlan0. The PCMCIA ==eth1 has fixed routing 10.0.0.0 , 255.255.255.0 and gateway 0.0.0.0 . The problem: when the PCMCIA is inserted, wlan0 does not work. As soon as I eject the PCMCIA eth1, wlan0 works again. My guess is, that the default gateway is a problem, surely I am missing an important point here, but I was not able to find a solution in Google. Question: Can I configure the default gateway dynamically? E.g. if I connect to wlan0 all internet traffic is send to the DHCP given 192.168.123.X and I can keep my PCMCIA inserted, when I turn off wlan0 and connect a cable to the PCMCIA, all internet traffic is routed to eth1. Some kind of "dynamic default gateway"? Thanks in advance Pete -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

You really need do nothing, it is automatic, your backup script will eventually run automatically, but not at the time you thought. You can improve things: Edit the file "/etc/sysconfig/cron", these two entries: DAILY_TIME="22:10" MAX_NOT_RUN="1" The firt line chooses a preferred time for the job to run. The second one means that if a day has passed without running (because the computer was off at that time) it will run within 15 minutes of booting or restoring. So, it ends by running once every day. Now, you say your clock is wrong at boot time, and that you run a script that sets your clock right. Ok, This can also be automated. Simply create a script in "/etc/pm/sleep.d/" and it will run at the correct time. For example, I have this script named "1cosas" (there can be several scripts, the number in front is for choosing which one runs first): +++·········································· #!/bin/bash . /usr/lib/pm-utils/functions NUM=1 DATE=`date --rfc-3339=seconds` case "$1" in hibernate) /bin/logger -t pm-utils -p syslog.warn "Hibernating ($NUM)..." echo "$DATE - hibernating the system now" >> /var/log/eventlog ;; suspend) /bin/logger -t pm-utils -p syslog.warn "Suspending ($NUM)..." echo "$DATE - suspending the system now" >> /var/log/eventlog ;; thaw) /bin/logger -t pm-utils -p syslog.warn "Thawing ($NUM)..." echo "$DATE - thawing the system now" >> /var/log/eventlog ;; resume) /bin/logger -t pm-utils -p syslog.warn "Resuming ($NUM)..." echo "$DATE - resuming the system now" >> /var/log/eventlog ;; *) ;; esac exit $? ··········································++- This script does nothing important, just writes an entry to syslog when the system is changing state, and another entry to a file: 2013-03-15 15:50:32+01:00 - Booting the system now ================================================================================ Linux Telcontar 3.1.10-1.19-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Feb 25 10:32:50 UTC 2013 (f0b13a3) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux 2013-03-16 02:51:16+01:00 - hibernating the system now 2013-03-16 13:02:22+01:00 - thawing the system now 2013-03-16 18:51:58+01:00 - hibernating the system now so that I know when my computer was booted (that's another script) or hibernated or restored. In your case, you simply have to do whatever you do to restore your clock, write it in the correct section of the script. In fact, there is a file at "/usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d/90clock" that attempts it, perhaps it is failing in your case. Or, looking at it contents, you need setting the variable "NEED_CLOCK_SYNC" to true..

In one of the directories I accidentally deleted a symlink which was pointing to a file within the same directory.

[opensuse] {MCP?} openSuSE 12.3 changes default XFS mount options
by Lew Wolfgang 12 May '13

12 May '13

Hi Folks, We were smitten by a rather subtle change in how 12.3-64 mounts XFS files systems. The first indication was a failure of acroread to start for a particular user. Other users on the same system weren't affected. It turns out it's an old problem talked about here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4721987 We then encountered another problem with an old cross-compiler that was caused by the same issue. It seems that when an XFS file system is mounted with the inode64 option, and the file system exceeds 1-TB, inode numbers exceeding 32-bits can be created. Without the inode64 mount option, inodes are clustered to be addressable by 32-bits. 12.2 and earlier mounted XFS without the inode64 option, as shown here: (12.2 mount command) /dev/sda7 on /export/home type xfs (rw,relatime,attr2,delaylog,noquota) While on 12.3: /dev/sda7 on /export/home type xfs (rw,relatime,attr2,inode64,noquota) Our workaround is to stop using XFS for home directories. We'll continue to use XFS for huge RAID arrays handling lots of large files. This isn't a bug in openSuSE, IHMO, just a change that illuminates bugs in other 32-bit packages. My thanks to Dan L. who "found" the solution. (Dan isn't on this list) Regards, Lew -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] dual monitor (vga and dvi) on ATI chipset
by Damon Register 11 May '13

11 May '13

Recently I installed SuSE 12.3 64 bit on my new computer. I even got Thunderbird working and am able to check my e-mail. There is still one thing that I haven't yet figured out. The onboard video is ATI. There is both a vga and dvi port. I have the vga connected to a standard monitor and the dvi connected to my TV. This PC is dual boot with Windows 7. In Windows I have the same display on both the monitor and TV. I can see the same bios info on both screens during boot. I can see the same info on both screens during boot of SuSE but when I finally get the KDE desktop, the TV reports no signal. I have seen a small amount of discussion about this some months ago with Nvidia. If I understood that discussion correctly, the solution was in getting Nvidia's driver instead of the default one. Is it likely that I will have to do the same with ATI? Can anyone please tell me what I need to do to get both screens working?

[opensuse] hibernate preventing run of cron.daily; how to solve this?
by Julien Michielsen 11 May '13

11 May '13

A script of mine used to run in cron.daily, to do the necessary things that have to be done every day (eg. backup). This used to work fine. At present however, I usually switch off my machine with hibernate, and I suspect it doesn't run /etc/cron.daily/mydailyscript after starting up in the morning. Apparently in the morning it still is at the same time-point where it was the evening before. I searched the web and found I should add anacron to "Restart Services" in common.conf. However, my knowledge is too basic to understand what I should do. Someone at the list (or from SuSE professionals) who knows what I'm looking for, and could give me a hint?

i know /run is a new cross-distribution location for the storage of transient state files, and /var/run is replaced by /run. but 1, why /var/run still have contents just as the same as /run ? just for backward compatibilty ? 2, if a program want to write some data to /run, is it supposed to write the same data to /var/run ? 3, it seems /var/run is not a symlink to /run, so /var/run occupy harddisk space, just like /run does? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] 12.3 IP not recognizing IPv6 path not available
by James Knott 10 May '13

10 May '13

In some experimenting with IPv6 vs IPv4 with my notebook, I have noticed that openSUSE does not recognize that an IPv6 path is not available. When I have an IPv6 connection, the IPv6 connection works as expected, but when it's not, protocols such as ssh still try to use the IPv6 address. The hosts command returns both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, even when there is no IPv6 connection. When there is no IPv6 connection, ip -6 route sh shows "fe80::/64 dev wlan0 proto kernel metric 256. While I don't know the details with openSUSE, a maximum metric number generally indicates an unreachable route which should be ignored.

[opensuse] installing real (not "live iso") suse to a flash drive
by David T-G 10 May '13

10 May '13

Hi, all -- I went googling around for others asking about this, and I found only http://linuxforums.org/forum/suse-linux/146421-can-i-install-opensuse-usb-f… that appears to be in the same vein -- but which got the same sort of "go and get the live ISO" answers that were all over the place. That's not what I want -- I think :-) I have an old PC that I use as a disk farm. I have drives stuffed in there like you wouldn't believe and every single IDE and SATA socket taken. I currently boot from a Knoppix live image => install flash drive, but I am having trouble making things persistent (disk mounts, cron jobs, etcetc) and am about fed up with it. The original idea behind using a live image was to make it easy to stay up to date; I can't invest a lot of time in the care and feeding of this thing. I still can't, but I also can't be constantly hovering over it; what time I get in small bites has to go to making progress wading through old content or updating MP3 copies or whatever. In addition to being a content repository, I'd like to run Samba and share as well as run a little web server. I need for cron jobs to work and for everything to get mounted and started automatically after a reboot. I think that this means a normal installation rather than a live image, but I'm very open to suggestions. It's also been a looooong time since I was in the SuSE world, I'm sad to say, so I don't know what we can or can't do -- but I want to come home! :-) Yes, I know that repeated writes to flash drives will wear them out. I don't plan on swap and the OS content will be pretty much read-only, plus flash drives are cheap and I don't mind restoring an image backup to another one every year or two, so I'm not too worried. What do you suggest for me? TIA & HAND :-D -- David T-G See http://justpickone.org/davidtg/email/ See http://justpickone.org/davidtg/tofu.txt

[opensuse] Strange acpid behavior in 12.3

Hi all, I'm a beginner in the openSUSE world. I recently installed openSUSE 12.3 in my two laptops, Thinkpad X200 tablet and HP Probook 6470b. I had no problems with the first laptop. But after I boot the Probook the acpi daemon doesn't detect battery changes nor closing the lid (I saw it running acpi_listen). Then I suspend the laptop using the Fn proper key, and, after I resume, the daemon seems work as I would expect on boot (battery status is reported right and I can suspend closing the lid).

[opensuse] OLAT deployment with systemd launch of tomcat - solved
by John Connor 09 May '13

09 May '13

Finally solved the problem - I tried launching both scripts from the command line (tomcat-sysd with hacks to set up environment variables and dtomcat) both as user tomcat, and found that Tomcat started ok with both scripts, but OLAT deployed only when I used dtomcat. Same launch environment, same user, so the difference had to be in the scripts. I eventually traced it to one line in tomcat-sysd, a cd to CATALINA_BASE. Replacing this with /usr/bin made everything work! Replacing it with a literal /usr/share/tomcat caused the same OLAT deployment failure. /usr/share/tomcat contains mostly symlinks - in particular the work subdir is symlinked. I changed the cd to cd to /var/cache/tomcat to avoid the sysmlinks, and everything works fine - OLAT deployed correctly when tomcat was launched with systemd. I don't know why - I suspect that OLAT didn't like the symlinks in /usr/share/tomcat... Two comments (hopefully constructive): It would be useful for debugging if systemctl had an option to show output on the screen, rather than dumping it in a journal which you then have to search through. This should be a command-line option, because you would normally use it only for debugging, not for a normal boot. Secondly, the man page for systemd-journalctl mentions that you can filter journal contents using FIELD=value, but (except for one example) it doesn't indicate where the field identifiers are defined. It would make the journal a lot more usable if it was clear where to find this information. I'm pretty much agnostic on the issue of whether systemd is the best thing since sliced bread or the worst thing since Windows 98, but lack of clarity in the documentation and lack of simple debugging options left me feeling that I had less control than I wanted over the system. For example, when you run some scripts (such as /etc/init.d/tomcat) from the command line, you get a message that they are being "redirected", and systemd runs some other script (in this case tomcat-sysd). This happens even if you rename the corresponding service file to something else. So what sets up this redirection, and how would I prevent it if for some reason (such as debugging) I wanted to? This is what I mean by lack of clarity in the docs - when some program does something in normal operation then the docs ought at least to mention this. It is possible that they do, and I just don't know where to look! But if so, it isn't obvious - and, yes, I have waded through some of the material on freedesktop.org. It might be argued that the level of control I would like over a basic system component is potentially dangerous. Of course - but one of the things I have always appreciated about Linux (probably applies for other *NIX too) is that it has the attitude - "Your system, do what you want, if you break it it's your responsibility" compared with the typical Windows attitude of "You can do only those things that we think are sensible". In any case, anyone mucking about on the command line either knows what he is doing or shouldn't be there - the place for handholding is in the GUI, which naturally lends itself to limiting user options and guiding user choices. So, thanks for all your help. John Connor -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] zypper dup crash!
by Lew Wolfgang 08 May '13

Hi Folks, Wow, that was nasty! I pulled a zypper dup a few hours ago and it completely borked my 12.3 system. Zipper failed with three kernel debug models that ran out of space in /boot. Since I had issues with reiserfs some years ago I've been configuring /boot as a 100-MB ext2 filesystem. Alas, 100-MB is no longer big enough! I "i"'ed the zypper dialogs and it finished. But the subsequent reboot produced a kernel crash. Rather than muck around with mkinitrd on a rescue system, I just reinstalled the whole thing, this time with /boot on the root filesystem, and all is now well. /boot now contains 102-MB of stuff.

Hello everybody, I'm very eager to try openSUSE without much tinkering with my system. Is it possible to boot the openSUSE live ISO from HDD using already installed GRUB (installed by Fedora17) ? I can boot any fedora live images, Ubuntu live images extracting all/some of the contents to a partition (of the HDD in which GRUB is installed) and adding some entry to the GRUB configuration file. I don't want to waist DVD or Pendrive and I don't have other HDD. Virtualization will not give native experience. Any help is welcome. =========== I'm yet a learner, warn me if I'm doing any wrong...

[opensuse] yast2 - Can't create CA Cert: LIMAL::Exception=HASH(0x31f1a60)
by Greg Freemyer 07 May '13

07 May '13

All, I'm experimenting with a openSUSE 12.2 image on AWS (Amazon Web Services). I've got ssh access to my instance and I've used zypper to install yast2-mail. That brought in lots of dependencies, but only 100MB or so of rpms. I started up yast from the command line and selected to create a mail server. I went with the advanced option so I could use postfix, not sendmail. It recommended I create a root CA. I went for it, but when I got to the "Create" phase, it fails with "LIMAL::Exception=HASH(0x31f1a60)". I assume I need another package or 10 for it to work. Note, this was an extremely minimal install that I got from: http://blog.susestudio.com/2012/10/public-opensuse-122-amazon-ec2-amis.html fyi: I'm using a micro image, so it might even be free! I've seen comments that Amazon charges because they think its based on SLES :( ). The pricing might only be $0.03/hr even then, but the AWS pricing schemes are extremely complex. This is for just the "base" pricing before you start using the disks etc. http://aws.amazon.com/suse/ Greg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] upnp camera setup?

[opensuse] XFCE and "hourglass" cursor
by Koenraad Lelong 07 May '13

07 May '13

Hi, I recently installed OS12.3 with XFCE on my wife's netbook. The only complaint so far is that there seems to be no "hourglass" cursor when clicking an application. So there is no feedback whether the application is really started. I searched, but I can't find if this is configurable. So is this configurable ? FWIW, I did a full install, but the home-partition was kept. The old install was the netbook-edition of Ubuntu 10.04.

Hi all, Do we know which will be the next Evergreen (LTS) openSUSE version? 12.2 or 12.3? I want to install 12.2 on a laptop with a legacy Radeon card, and since 12.2 works with the proprietary AMD Catalyst Legacy driver ( http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/legacy/Pages/legacy-radeon_linu…) if 12.2 becomes the next Evergreen version, it will be good news to me.

[opensuse] Email with PKCS certificates in Thunderbird.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I can send emails signed with a PKCS certificate. The problem is that Thunderbird does not ask for my password to do so! Is this a bug, or a setting I missed? Anybody coming by could post such a signed message in my name. I'm using a master password, of course, but it seems that it never expires since session start many days ago.

Trying to setup a couple of scripts, which part of the results are to send an email as a non-root user.

If I try and send as a non-root user, get: "Absolute path to 'sendmail' is '/usr/sbin/sendmail', so running it may require superuser privileges (eg. root)."

[opensuse] Pairing a bluetooth keyboard?

I'm trying to pair a buetooth keyboard with opeSUSE and am not having much success. Via KDE it stalls out at the PIN query - it never shows the generated PIN from the keyboard.

Finding information on what needs to be done to connect the keyboard is rather scarce to say the least. Does anyone here know what needs to be done to get the keyboard to talk to openSUSE?

[opensuse] Laptop is rebooting after Sleep (suspend to ram)

OS: openSUSE KDE 12.3 64-bit. Computer: Toshiba Satellite L500D-163 Graphics card: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4570 (ATI RV710 chip) Hi all, I have installed openSUSE KDE 12.3 64-bit to a Toshiba laptop. Sleep seems to work OK (the Sleep orange LED of laptop is blinking). However, resuming from Sleep, does not work, the monitor remains black for few seconds, during which the Caps lock does not activate, so the system is unresponsive. After these few seconds have passed, the laptop reboots by itself. The hard disk is OK (S.M.A.R.T. settings are OK), and the RAM is OK with memtest86+ tests. Sleep worked OK with *buntu 11.10 32-bit. It also worked OK, with Lubuntu 12.10, until there was a "linux-firmware" package update, after which the laptop had the same behaviour with Sleep. That was one of the reasons I migrated it to openSUSE 12.3. The graphics card is not supported from the main proprietary driver, it uses the free software default one. Any help will be appreciated.

[opensuse] Java version on OpenSuse 12.3

I am trying to compile Apache's OFBiz on a virtual machine running OpenSuse 12.3. When I type 'java -version' into bash, I am told that the java version is OpenJDK java version 1.7.0_17. But, when I try to run ant in the ofbiz directory, to build it, it is claiming that it detected java 1.5, which is not supported and so the build dies. Is there any chance there is some remnant of Java 1.5 hiding somewhere in this VM? How would I examine any environment variables related to java that may have been defined when Java was installed (it would have to be the installer as I did not define any).

[opensuse] systemd: creation of tmpfiles, owned by net-wide user
by Joachim Schrod 30 Apr '13

30 Apr '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.
