Hi I am still not comfortable with the systemd daemon, now I have a machine that after a update gives: rad0:~ # zypper ps The following running processes use deleted files: ______________________________ PID | PPID | UID | Login | Command | Service | Files ----+------+-----+-------+---------+---------+-------------- 528 | 1 | 0 | root | gmain | | /usr/lib64/libvmtools.so.0.0.0 | | | | | | /usr/lib64/open-vm-tools/plugins/common/libhgfsServer.so | | | | | | /usr/lib64/libhgfs.so.0.0.0 | | | | | | /usr/lib64/open-vm-tools/plugins/vmsvc/libguestInfo.so | | | | | | /usr/lib64/open-vm-tools/plugins/common/libvix.so | | | | | | /usr/lib64/open-vm-tools/plugins/vmsvc/libpowerOps.so | | | | | | /usr/lib64/open-vm-tools/plugins/vmsvc/libtimeSync.so | | | | | | /usr/lib64/open-vm-tools/plugins/vmsvc/libvmbackup.so | | | | | | /usr/bin/vmtoolsd (deleted) You may wish to restart these processes. ______________________________ I do, but how? systemctl restart vmtoolsd.service does not seem to help -- Thanks Klaus -- 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)

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] Java version on OpenSuse 12.3
by Ted Byers 01 May '13

01 May '13

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 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.
